Chapter 866 Salt Lake Ruins
Duan Yu was grateful and admired the owner of Puyang, and no matter what he asked him to do, he would do his best. For the dragon clan, it had the fear of lower creatures against higher creatures, and he did not dare to resist at all. He carried them and flew at the fastest speed, and tried to keep them as steady as possible, not to let any bumps. At the same time, he did not forget to form a layer of protection around his body to avoid being observed.
Pu Yang threw a pill and took it, and added another crystal.
Duan Yu, who had swallowed in the air, thanked him repeatedly and flew more vigorously.
"It's not bad, it's very wide. It's so luxurious to feed the mount." Long Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw it.
She has been living in the human world for 20 or 30 years. Although she did not reveal her identity, she also had some knowledge of a lot of information. She knew that resources are scarce now, and even ordinary elixirs and white crystals with weak vitality were not as luxurious as possible to feed the eagle. And what she threw out just now was at least a gray crystal.
Pu Yang smiled: "Since it has followed me sincerely, I can't treat it badly. It has provided me with transportation and given me a rest, but it has never had much rest on its own."
With such a big body and the realm of a demon king, how do you need to rest?
Thinking of this loophole, Pu Yang added: "I left it in Kunlun Mountain before, and later summoned us to meet up, and then crossed Kunlun to the Taklamakan Desert; then we arrived at the Purgatory World, and flew all the way for most of the day in that high temperature environment; after returning, there was no rest, and then flew from west to east to Longhu Mountain; I just had a little rest when I met Master Zhang, and then rushed back to Luobao City; I haven't had much rest yet, and now I'm going to fly to the Taklamakan Desert..."
After pausing, he wanted to estimate the approximate mileage, but he had no idea. He could only say: "I don't know how many times he flew, at least tens of thousands of miles! It didn't eat a bite of meat, nor did it drink water, it was all supported by the body and vitality. It was raised by the Kunlun School for a hundred years before. Although it limited its spiritual intelligence, it was considered pampering. It only needed to be a mount and foot strength occasionally. I can't torture it!"
Long Ying nodded and praised: "In this way, this little guy is also good."
"..." Pu Yang was speechless, and both Duan Yu and both were thundered.
Little guy? Is there such a huge little guy?
But thinking about Long Ying's identity, they felt relieved. Perhaps in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, the human race and the demon race are just little guys.
Duan Yu was also very excited when he heard Pu Yang's words just now. He has been flying non-stop these days, but it has no resentment or dissatisfaction at all, because his former residence, Lingxu Peak Kunlun Fairyland, now every place it sees is completely new, such as in the city, it is even more unimaginable.
It is full of motivation due to fresh curiosity. Puyang is so powerful that it cannot help much and can only be a good mount, so it is willing and hardworking. But now I find that the owner sees it and remembers it in his heart and will understand it and reward it. This is the care and respect that he has not experienced in the Kunlun School before.
Going westward, although it is related to time zones, it is even later in the west, but at such a long distance, it still flies until early in the morning to reach the edge of the desert.
Neither Pu Yang nor Long Ying were sleepy, so she just used her skills to rest on the road.
Because Long Ying has a coordinate, it is much easier than last time. However, the longitude and latitude coordinates are only one point on the map, which reflects the actual area and is also a large range. A little deviation will be very far apart. In the end, it can only lock in an approximate range and start to slow down the speed of the carpet-style search.
"It should be this place."
Looking at the desert in the sky, there was a slightly white area, which might be the abandoned salt lake that had long been dried up.
Pu Yang has never been here. With a general impression and feeling, it is quite far from the place where the space gate is located, and it shouldn't be related. But on a large scale across the country, the distance is not too large. And the situation is a bit similar, maybe there are really space cracks.
"Try it and see if you can sense Uncle Liu."
Long Ying shook her head directly at Pu Yang’s suggestion and said with a wry smile: “I’ve been sensing all the way, and I can’t feel his presence at all. He still seems to have disappeared from this world.”
"Then let's go down and look for it. There should be a space crack extending to another world nearby. There is no one here. Maybe everyone has missed it. When we go over, we will find Uncle Liu."
Pu Yang comforted him and asked Duan Yu to land.
Duan Yu had already had experience, so he naturally lowered the altitude, slowed down his speed, and reduced his body a lot, and began to fly along the salt lake site.
Long Ying's expression was not at all relaxed. She was worried and didn't say it out loud. What Pu Yang said was possible, but the possibility was too small. Another possibility was much greater!
That is, Liu Zhengyuan is dead!
The mark she left on Liu Zhengyuan was integrated into him, and it was not a tracker that could send signals with energy and power. If he died, she would naturally not feel his existence. Of course, if she encountered danger before her death, she would also feel something as fear and other reactions appeared on Liu Zhengyuan.
However, in this desert, there is almost no chance of encountering murderers and killers. Unexpected disasters in nature are common. Perhaps a big storm would bury the entire team under the yellow sand. In this way, before Liu Zhengyuan had time to have stronger fears, he first fell into a coma and then suffocated to death.
Of course, Long Ying didn't want this result, so she didn't say it either.
"Let's search separately, you can get faster!"
After saying that, she had already flew down from Duan Yu's body and searched on the side. Pu Yang also rushed to the other side, while Duan Yu's body became much bigger.
The three carpet-style searches together immediately made the scope much larger. Everyone was very careful, for fear of missing any details and corners.
But this salt lake was not very big. They searched several times but found nothing.
Long Ying didn't want to give up and continued to search the salt lake. Pu Yang had a relationship. If there were no space cracks here, would Liu Zhengyuan die?
If you don’t see people in your life or die, you won’t see corpses. In this desert, there is only one possibility, you will be buried in yellow sand!
The Taklamakan Desert is a mobile desert, and the yellow sand is often blown far away. Once the wind is strong, the momentum is also very terrifying. It is not strange to bury a person or a group of people.
If so, where is the most likely place to be around here?
This conjecture made Pu Yang feel a little heavy, but after all, it was not his own father. He had only met one time. If you want to talk about grief, there was no such thing as sorrow, so you can still observe and analyze calmly.
This salt lake site is obviously impossible to be of its original size, and there have been great changes nearby. If you encounter yellow sand, where will you hide?
Puyang is not professional in this regard, and he doesn't know the answer, but there is nothing above the dry salt lake, and it is impossible to leave too far. That is nearby, and what he is within reach now, what he most doubts is a large sand dune not far from the edge of the salt lake!
With the scale of this sand dune, it is definitely not formed in one day or two, a year or two, and it is probably made up of hundreds of years of wind and sand accumulation. When Liu Zhengyuan and his archaeological team arrived here, they should not have been so ruthless when they encountered a once-in-a-century strong wind. Shouldn’t they hide in the leeward under this big sand dune?
If this is the case, the wind and sand are too strong, or the large sand dunes have quicksand falls, it may be possible to bury them under the edge of the dunes!
This was Pu Yang's guess, and he couldn't tell it, so he ran over and prepared to investigate it first.
The sand dune was as huge as a hill. When it came down, Puyang was a little unaware of it. Everyone was dead, and he could not sense whether there was a living mouth under the sand layer. It was possible to detect instruments or other things, but they were not professional and had no equipment.
Or... overturn the entire dune?
This thought flashed in Pu Yang's mind. With his current strength, not to mention a sand dune, even a real hill is not impossible to overturn it. But the movement is too loud, and Long Ying will know what he thinks at once, which will violate other people's taboos.
Just as he was hesitating, Long Ying had already come over and arrived beside him.
"You also suspect that they might be buried under the yellow sand?"
Listening to her calm words, Pu Yang was a little embarrassed. The words he admitted were like suspecting that Liu Zhengyuan was dead.
"Uh... I think they should have a goal when they come here to get archaeology, right? What good archaeology is there for this salt lake? Even if it has scientific research value, it should be only interested in geology or environment experts. I just looked at this sand dune and thought it would be difficult to blow so big by nature. It must have a prototype. Maybe there was a large ancient tomb here at the beginning, and Uncle Liu and his team might be here."
Pu Yang barely made up a reason and comforted him with far-fetchedness: "Maybe after entering the ancient tomb, they would isolate information or lead to another world. But they should definitely be alive..."
Long Ying sighed softly: "Don't comfort me. If he really dies here, I will find him and take him home."
"Then I'll lift it open and search for it." Long Ying said so. Pu Yang felt that it was meaningless to make up the reason. It would be better to find the corpse sooner, and to see people and die.
Duan Yu also came over. When he heard Pu Yang say that he wanted to overturn this big sand dune, he immediately stretched his body to the maximum, and then flapped his wings.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Puyang stopped it, and the wind blowing from the broken feather was very strong. How could it be compared with the strong wind in nature? And this is a place where even the strong winds flowing in the desert have no choice.
