In the early morning of the Sahara Desert, the temperature is only about twenty degrees, and it feels a bit cold.

Wei Cheng was riding an old pickup truck, carrying three guides and some supplies, and was speeding on the road in the desert.

For some reason, tourists were everywhere yesterday, but today they were gone, but most of the dozen guides he hired before gave up.

The three people are barely kept by him after he increased the price several times, but they only agreed to take Wei Cheng to the edge of the Eye of the Sahara.

Even if they often go to places they used to go, they will never go. After sending Wei Cheng to the place, they will return as fast as possible.

In other words, Wei Cheng's exploration journey will be completed by himself.

The reason is that some rumors spread among the crowd starting last night.

"The door to hell has been opened, so in recent days, there will be a rare black sandstorm throughout the desert."

"This kind of black sandstorm will last for more than half a month, and even the most experienced camel cannot escape the fate of being swallowed by it."

...

Wei Cheng naturally didn't believe such rumors, but for some reason, his mobile phone has not received any signal since he stepped into the land of Latar, so he could not check the weather forecast online.

But no matter whether there is a sandstorm or not, he must go this time.

Outside the car window without glass, there are continuous sand dunes and some desert plants such as sea buckthorn.

According to legend, eight thousand years ago, this was a fertile land, covered by prosperous green plants, raising millions of natural life.

But now only the yellow sand is rolling and the scorching sun is left.

There was no time to sigh at this desolate land, and the old pickup that Wei Cheng was riding on had already arrived at the edge of the Eye of the Sahara.

Unlike the surrounding area, this area with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers does not have much yellow sand, and is basically made of rocks.

However, this is not much better than being in the desert. At this time, the sun is already rising high, the heat is coming soon, and the temperature will rise to about 35 degrees within an hour.

In this uncovered place, high temperatures are undoubtedly the greatest threat to life.

There are also those huge rock faults, which are nothing from the map, but after arriving at the place, Wei Cheng discovered that any fault is as high as a few meters and more than ten meters.

When one explores in such a place, one is destined to be unable to carry a lot of supplies.

But this is the way he chose himself, and he has come.

"After you go back, please go to the city of Latar and help me make this call," Wei Cheng took out a note with Yu Zhen's number and handed it to a loyal guide. "Please help me tell him my location, and if possible, let him come as soon as possible."

After finishing the instructions, Wei Cheng carried the tools, food and water on his back and began his first adventure in his life.

Lying on the hot rock, he felt like a piece of meat being put on a barbecue grill, sweat as big as beans lying down his cheeks.

It took him half an hour to arrive at a depression and breathed a sigh of relief.

From here, the ground became slightly flattering, allowing him to continue moving forward slightly with a little ease.

Walking step by step on the hard rock, Wei Cheng suddenly wanted to laugh.

If this had been changed a year ago, he would not believe that he would have been like this. He would have been in a comfortable life at home, but if he ran to such a bird alone, he had no place to explore.

I have to say that the changes that Yu Zhen and Baiyun Village brought to him were definitely earth-shaking.

After walking around for nearly twenty kilometers, Wei Cheng walked for two days and finally arrived at the center of the Eye of the Sahara.

This is the lowest altitude, and only sunshine is eight hours a day, but the surrounding rocks are still very dry, and there is a breeze that almost never stops here.

These winds were whirling and blowing in the inner part of the Sahara Eye, and it is said that it is these breezes that have created its current landform.

After exploring nearby, Wei Cheng didn't find anything. Here, there were stones, gravel, and dry weeds in the corners.

It is said that this grass is called resurrection grass. When they encounter drought, they will become dry and roll with the wind. When they encounter moisture, they will fall to the ground and take root and grow green leaves again.

However, these weeds were no longer alive and were collected by Wei Cheng as firewood.

In the light of light, Wei Cheng bit the dry food and drank clean water in small sips.

Most of the supplies he brought had been consumed. If he could not find clues tomorrow, he would have to go back, otherwise he would die of thirst here.

Those guides are really, why don’t you come with him?

If there are more than a dozen people together, they can bring a lot of supplies in, and the exploration speed will be greatly accelerated.

I have to believe in some rumors.

How could there be a sandstorm in such a good weather?

After eating his stomach, the feeling of fatigue came up. Wei Cheng leaned against his backpack and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but he was woken up by the whimpering sound in his ears. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt some dust blowing into his eyes.

What's going on?

He looked around in surprise. The fire in front of him had already been extinguished. The moon that was supposed to shine on the earth also disappeared into the endless dark sky.

The chaotic wind blew up fine gravel and pounced on his face one after another, causing waves of stinging pain.

Is there really a sandstorm?

Wei Cheng felt something was wrong. Although in the eyes of the Sahara, there was no need to worry about being buried by the sand, if the wind was too strong and the time was too long, he would still be trapped here.

After finding a leeward rock to hide, Wei Cheng kept complaining in his heart as he heard the increasingly wild wind.

It’s not good to go out, I just hope that the sandstorm won’t shave for too long.

But when people are in trouble, things often go against their wishes. The frantic sandstorm did not stop before dawn, but became more and more intense.

The sky that should have been blue was filled with yellow sand, covering the sky, making the whole world extremely dark.

Is this the so-called "black sandstorm"?

Wei Cheng shook his veil and felt that if he continued to hide, there would be no result.

Fortunately, because the terrain of this place is low and the wind and sand are not very strong, he decided to take the risk of exploring around.

He didn't have much time to waste and had to find the runes carved on the stone before night came again.

After making up his mind, he staggered against the strong wind and began to search on the surrounding rocks. But as the sun grew higher and stronger, the strong wind in the desert became stronger and stronger, making him almost unable to stand firm.

A strong wind blew, and Wei Cheng was blown to the ground. He stretched out his hands to grab the edge of a rock to stabilize his body, but he didn't expect it to be a loose rock.

call--

At this time, a stronger wind blew over, and Wei Cheng was blown to roll on the ground, and then he felt empty under his body.

Bang--

He fell into a stone pit several meters deep, fortunately there was soft gravel below, otherwise he would have killed him this time.

The stone walls of the stone pit are OK, with many prominent places. The wind below is not very strong, so you can easily climb up, but at this moment, Wei Cheng vaguely saw a trace of artificial carving on the ground that was opened by him.

He quickly pulled open the sand on the ground and was surprised to find more carving marks.

This made his heart excited, and he quickly took out the photo from his bag to compare it.

"Finally found!"

"It's the same rune!"

Although the runes on the ground are arranged differently from those on the photos, they are undoubtedly the same "text".

Excited, Wei Cheng did not care about the harsh environment in the sky and kept digging the sand layer on the ground.

With his efforts, more and more runes on the ground were formed, and finally a mysterious formation seemed to be?

Wei Cheng took some photos, then studied them carefully for a while, and finally looked at a stone wall.

He felt that these runes on the ground were not so much a formation, but rather a way to indicate the direction, and finally pointed to the stone wall.

He came to the stone wall and stretched out his hand to rub it gently.

The next second, something magical happened.

The originally extremely hard stone wall actually melted into a circular arch like glue.

This made his heart beat wildly.

Although he already knew that there were magical people like Yu Zhen in this world who could cure his legs and restore millions of acres of land to life.

But this is the mysterious place he found himself!

So he took out a knife and carved some symbols on the stone wall next to him. If Yu Zhen found it, he would easily find the stone arch.

Then he turned on the flashlight and walked in resolutely.

There was a long passage in the stone arch, and the hole wall was very dry. After he entered a few meters, the stone arch behind him turned automatically closed again.

But now he has no time to study the door, and he is determined to go deeper and find the secrets about runes.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt his feet empty, his whole body fell heavily, and he fell heavily to the ground, his eyes were filled with stars, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

After getting up from the ground, he found the flashlight and saw the surrounding terrain.

He fell into a pit more than three meters high, but the pit looked like an upside down bowl, with a large bottom and a small top, so he couldn't climb up at all.

Around the pit, there are four small arches leading to four different directions.

It was impossible to return the same way, so Wei Cheng had to do the best and then choose one of the directions to continue moving forward.

After walking forward for dozens of meters, he came to a relatively open space. In addition to the absence of upward passage, it is almost the same as the entrance just now, and there are also channels in four directions.

So he made marks again at the entrance and exit, and turned to the next fork.

In this way, after passing more than a dozen forks of roads, Wei Cheng suddenly realized that he had returned to the place he had walked before.
