Without a guide, the desert journey in the late Tang Dynasty would have been much more difficult.

Although the strange beasts were no longer encountered, the harsh terrain and unpredictable weather in the late Tang Dynasty could no longer be avoided.

Jingjing is now heavier. Although she has not grown much, her weight has caught up with that of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Only in emergencies would he get into Tang Mo's backpack, and usually he would jump in front of Tang Mo to clear the way for Tang Mo.

With such a little guy accompanying him, Tang Mo didn't feel lonely at all, and he was quite happy along the way.

I don’t know how long I walked, but at the end of Tang Dynasty, I still didn’t see anything in the desert except sand.

There wasn't even a green plant, let alone a human being.

Once there are no other obstacles in people's field of vision, they can concentrate much more.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, he lowered his head and looked at the sand under his feet. It was rough and had a scorching temperature after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

Looking up at the road ahead again, it's still exactly the same...

wrong!

Tang Mo's initially lazy eyes suddenly became serious.

The sand under her feet was rough, even mixed with small particles of stone.

But the gravel in front is obviously more delicate, and even reflects some of the golden light of the sun.

Tang Mo took a closer look and found that the delicateness only existed within a small area of ​​100 meters in front of her, which was a circle of about five meters in diameter.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. At this time, Tang Mo remembered what he had said to the guide in a casual chat before, so he stopped cautiously.

But at this time, Jingjing, who was walking in front of Tang Mo, continued to move forward unprepared, and was about to reach the area of ​​the fine sand.

"Jingjing, stop!"

Tang Mo immediately shouted at Jingjing, who had been walking in front of him.

"Woo?"

Jingjing jumped forward a few more steps, then looked back at Tang Mo with a look of confusion on her face.

At this time, there was a slight vibration on the ground. The vibration was very subtle, but it was still noticed by Tang Mo, who used his mental energy to pay attention to his surroundings.

Just one second after the vibration, the circle of fine sand began to flow on the ground like a liquid.

It's quicksand!

It was not until this time that Tang Dynasty finally confirmed what the fine sand in front of him was, it was quicksand.

She had heard the guide mention quicksand before, which was like a man-eating monster that could devour people in a short period of time, leaving them with no strength to resist.

That is the most natural terror trap in the desert.

At this time, Jingjing's legs had sunk into the sand. It kept struggling, but it couldn't pull its legs out. It could only watch its body being pulled into the sand little by little.

.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Jingjing looked at Tang Mo with fear and pleading eyes, hoping that Tang Mo could save it.

At this time, Tang Mo had already taken out the previously prepared lifeline from the space, then tied a bottle of mineral water on the top, aimed at Jingjing's position, and threw it out.

Jingjing's little head was very clever. When Tang Mo took out the rope, he immediately understood what she meant.

I grabbed the mineral water bottle as it flew towards me.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, he saw that Jingjing had grabbed the bottle, and he quickly pulled the bottle and the fox out, trying to pull out Jingjing's lower body that had sunk into it.

Tang Mo was well aware of Jingjing's weight. He usually didn't have a problem carrying it on his back, but now he just pulled it out, and Tang Mo didn't take it seriously at all.

But when she tried hard here, she realized that the situation was not as simple as she thought.

The half of Jingjing's body that had been sunk in was too difficult to pull out. It didn't look like it was buried in the sand at all, but like there were a pair of terrifying hands pulling hard under the quicksand, engaging in a tug-of-war with Tang Mo.

Jingjing's two front paws pulled hard on the rope and tried to struggle upward, but there was nothing she could do.

Tang Mo added mental power to his arms, and then leaned back with all his strength, but the rope still didn't move at all, and even pulled Tang Mo's quicksand-like covering area away bit by bit.

Both ends of the rope refused to admit defeat. Tang Mo gritted his teeth and persisted, but still slid forward involuntarily.

Seeing Tang Mo getting closer to him, Jing Jing's round eyes were full of struggle.

Just when Jingjing was about to let go, Tang Mo shouted, "Don't let go! Trust me!"

Tang Mo knew that at this time, it might be best to let go of the rope and avoid the quicksand area. Jingjing was just a strange beast.

But for such a long time, she has long regarded Jingjing as her partner, her first partner.

It's not so much that she must save Jingjing, but that she can't accept herself as someone who would immediately abandon her friends when in danger.

Suddenly, Tang Mo felt as if there was a shaking sound coming from the ground beneath his feet.

"No, the suction force of the quicksand seems to have become stronger!"

If Tang Mo could barely compete with the quicksand just now, then she was still holding the rope firmly and had no power to resist.

Tang Mo was barely given time to react. In an instant, Tang Mo was pulled into the quicksand by the rope, and his whole body sank in.

The world is spinning

Tang Mo only felt that her whole body was falling. The uncontrollable weightlessness gave her an unreal feeling, as if she was so close to death.

The whole body is surrounded by soft sand with warmth. It is not as scary as imagined, but it feels like curling up in mother's arms.

Fortunately, the desert was very windy and dusty, so Tang Mo always wore a dust mask. At this time, her mouth and nose were not blocked by the sand, and she could barely maintain the most basic breathing.

I don't know how long it took, but just when Tang Mo felt a little dizzy due to suffocation, she landed.

After such a long time, the height should be very high, but there is no pain. Everything under the body is packed with solid sand, and the top of the sand pile is pressed into a shape like the late Tang Dynasty.

"it hurts……"

Tang Mo patted her face with her hands and slowly opened her eyes. The soreness in her body prevented her from standing up quickly, so she could only lie there in a large posture.

At this height, could it be below the surface?

At the end of Tang Dynasty, when he looked above his head, what he saw was the very high top of the wall, just like what he had seen in Dunhuang before.

Looking around, the space here is very large, like a huge palace, with pillars, murals and many unrecognizable sculptures of figures from the late Tang Dynasty.

Mystery and solemnity are the biggest feelings here.

But the biggest difference from ordinary palaces is that everything here is made of sand.

Including walls, roofs, sculptures and murals.

Tang Mo slowly stood up from the sand and patted his clothes.
