Chapter 310: Luolanbo, Pyramid

Desert sand like snow, Yan Mountain moon like a hook.

When the moon rose into the night sky, the Mirror Sea on Luolanbo disappeared.

The exploration team left the sand mountain and carefully traveled through Luolanbo.

The lake water of Luolanbo had long since dried up, and the ground was covered with crisscrossing cracks.

The old beggar was still walking at the very front of the team.

While walking, he kept turning his head to urge everyone: "Everyone speed up. Before tomorrow's sun rises, we must cross this Sea of Death."

Luolanbo is known to the world as the 'Sea of Death', and there are many unknown dangers within it.

For tens of thousands of years, many explorers who stepped into this dried-up lake have not been able to walk out of it again.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, everyone had already advanced two or three hundred miles into Luolanbo.

This was already the center of Luolanbo.

Under the moonlight, at the end of the field of vision, stood one after another green stone towers.

These stone towers were tall, majestic, ancient, and vicissitudinous, as if they were giants standing between heaven and earth.

The old beggar walking in front stopped.

He reached out and pulled the little girl to his side, then stared at everyone with a pair of turbid old eyes.

"Next, we are going to pass through the Pyramid Array. Everyone remember, don't speak, don't look back. You must walk along the path I have walked. Remember, no matter what situation you encounter, everyone don't open your mouths, no matter what situation you encounter, everyone don't look back." The old beggar instructed everyone word by word.

The members of the exploration team all nodded in agreement. Seeing the old beggar so solemn, they knew that there must be huge danger hidden in the pyramids ahead.

Before long, everyone arrived in front of the first pyramid.

This pyramid had four sides and four edges, about a hundred meters high, and mysterious runes flickered on the green tower body.

In front of the tower base, a human-faced lion statue was crouched.

Pyramid? Sphinx?

Zhang Xingyu felt his time and space were a bit chaotic.

Just as Zhang Xingyu was puzzled, the statue in front of the pyramid moved.

It shook its head, wagged its tail, and then swayed as it stood up.

What the hell?

This Sphinx statue actually came alive.

Just then, the Sphinx standing on the stone pier opened its mouth: "Zhang Xingyu, answer my question. What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? If you answer correctly, I will give you a generous reward."

Zhang Xingyu just wanted to open his mouth to answer, when he suddenly remembered the old beggar's instructions.

He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

That was close! Zhang Xingyu thought.

He looked up at his front; the old beggar and the little girl had dirty cloth balls stuffed in their ears and mouths.

Cunning old guy, poor little girl.

Zhang Xingyu looked back at Demon King Hali and Ice and Snow Fairy Shen Xueyi. Demon King Hali's two red lips were tightly closed.

Shen Xueyi's cherry mouth was covered with a piece of dog-skin plaster.

Awesome!

Zhang Xingyu gave Shen Xueyi a thumbs up.

Camel bells rang lightly, footsteps sounded.

Everyone led the camels, lined up in a straight line, and continued to walk toward another tall pyramid.

The second pyramid was exactly the same as the first.

In front of the pyramid, a Sphinx statue stood up.

"Zhang Xingyu, answer my question. What has a face but no mouth, has feet but no hands, grows four legs, but cannot walk by itself?"

Zhang Xingyu did not open his mouth, and could not open his mouth.

After passing through the first pyramid, he reached out and pressed his own mute acupoint.

Camel bells rang lightly, footsteps sounded.

After passing through thirty-six pyramids and refusing thirty-six questions from the Sphinxes, the exploration team finally crossed the Pyramid Array.

Just as Zhang Xingyu's group was crossing the Pyramid Array, Wang Yuyi led his junior brothers and sisters and also stepped into Luolanbo.

At the same time, more than a dozen other teams also left Tianhuang Cheng one after another.

After passing the Pyramid Array, the old beggar put the little girl back on the camel's back.

The old beggar took out the cloth ball from his ear and said loudly.

"Hurry up, follow me. We must reach the opposite shore of Luolanbo when the sun rises."

The night wind was cold, but everyone's bodies were hot.

At the bottom of the dried-up Luolanbo, the exploration team moved forward windingly.

When a white line appeared on the horizon, they finally stepped onto the sand ridge on the opposite side.

Zhang Xingyu lay on the sand ridge, panting heavily, letting fatigue climb onto his eyelids.

Just as his eyelids were about to close, a red sun jumped out from the horizon at the end of the sand sea.

The sky above the desert was filled with ten thousand rays of light, and the vast sand sea was strange and colorful.

At the same time, the sound of water splashing rang out in Luolanbo, as if it were an ancient piece played on a seven-stringed zither.

In the sound of this murmuring water, Zhang Xingyu fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already mid-morning, and the winter sun shone on his body, making him not want to move.

Just then, his ear suddenly felt a pain, and a loud shout rang in his ear.

"Zhang Xingyu, get up, make breakfast!"

Zhang Xingyu rubbed his buzzing ears and glared fiercely at the little girl Liu Yingxue.

"Liu Yingxue, do you want to make me deaf?"

The little girl glared back at him without showing any weakness.

"Hurry up and make breakfast. We are all so hungry that our chests are sticking to our backs."

Zhang Xingyu was speechless.

He stood up lazily, stretched his arms, and twisted his neck.

In front of him, the grill had already been set up, and the ingredients had already been prepared.

Old beggar Liu Sanbian, Demon King Hali, and White-clothed Fairy Shen Xueyi were looking at him with full expectation.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head.

These foodies!

Can't you roast it yourselves?

Half an hour later, everyone was full and set off again.

Amidst the sound of camel bells, Zhang Xingyu sang loudly: "Climbing the high peak to look at my hometown, the yellow sand is ten thousand miles long, where does the sound of camel bells come from, ringing in my heart; longing to step on the road of missing, flying over a thousand miles of mountains, the returning geese in the sky are covered with colorful clouds, where is my hometown; the wind and sand cannot wipe away the bloodstains printed on history..."

At sunset.

The exploration team arrived at the foot of a sand ridge.

This was the highest sand ridge within a radius of hundreds of miles, looking like a lying old man from afar.

The old beggar stopped in front of the sand ridge, tears flickering in his eyes.

After a long while, he bowed deeply to the sand ridge.

Everyone looked at the old beggar in surprise.

The old beggar didn't explain, just led everyone forward silently.

Zhang Xingyu looked up at the old beggar in front.

He saw his slightly hunched body trembling, his thin, withered legs stumbling but eager.

Everyone bypassed the sand ridge and climbed onto an isolated sand dune.

On the top of the sand dune was a dilapidated beacon tower, most of its body had been buried by yellow sand, leaving only a broken circle of earth walls exposed above the yellow sand.

"Tonight, let's spend the night under the beacon tower," the old beggar said to Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu nodded.

This place was a good place to camp.

Zhang Xingyu directed everyone to first form a circle with the camels, and then took out a tent and set it up in the center of the circle.

The simple camp was set up, and the campfire crackled in the center of the camp.

The ladies sat in front of the fire, chatting in low voices about private matters.

Zhang Xingyu sat in front of the fire, carefully roasting the food.

After serving the ladies their meal, Zhang Xingyu picked up a roasted lamb leg and walked toward the beacon tower.

The old beggar had been standing on the beacon tower for a long time.

In the night, his hunched back stood by the wall, just like an old soldier on guard duty. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
