Chapter 867: Ancient City of Qiuci

The King Yu shovel is a powerful ancient treasure and a sharp magic weapon to defeat the enemy in melee battle.

But its combat power is an additional attribute based on its very powerful nature. Its initial purpose was not weapons, but tools used by the ancient sage king Dayu when controlling the flood.

Its function is to move mountains and rivers, turn rivers and seas, clear congestion and introduce the floods of Jiuzhou into the sea.

Now the Yu King shovel has recovered a considerable amount of energy, and it is naturally amazing to exert its original role at this moment. Not to mention Duan Yu, even Long Ying was very surprised to see it.

Pu Yang waved the simple and unpretentious Yu Wang shovel from the air, and a large amount of yellow began to fly aside quickly. The amount of shoveling and how far it moved was completely controlled by Pu Yang.

Puyang didn't expect this thing to be so useful. If you go to mining, the effect of one person is stronger than that of another mine.

As a large amount of yellow sand was removed, the dunes could no longer maintain their original appearance. The yellow sand leaked over and collapsed at a visible speed.

"Wait a moment!"

Long Ying suddenly screamed, then quickly recycled it, and immediately formed a simple isolation in the direction of excavation, making the yellow sand that slipped down from above unable to fall, forcing it to flow to both sides. And she waved her other hand and completely dispersed the yellow sand below.

"This is..." Pu Yang was surprised. There was nothing in his sight, but it seemed that he was affected by excavation. After the yellow sand flowed down, you could see the quicksand that was vaguely sinking downwards!

He immediately waved the Yuwang shovel carefully and cooperated with Long Ying to move a large amount of yellow sand to both sides. As expected, he could see the lower layer of quicksand more clearly!

Seeing this, he and Long Ying both understood. This sand dune that looks like a hill must have something buried underneath. With space that is not filled, yellow sand will fall. However, it is usually covered with thick sand layers, which have been fixed long ago and will not sink.

The place where they settled is almost flat, but it is not difficult to understand. The salt lake next to it is all yellow sand, but there is simply a prototype of a site. Obviously, this area has covered countless layers of yellow sand, and the height of the pile is more than ten meters and dozens of meters.

What is the place that is hidden under this is the destination for Liu Zhengyuan and his friends to come to archaeology. But now they are? Are they directly trapped under the yellow sand? Are they still working in it alive, or are they already...?

Long Ying signaled Pu Yang not to dig for the time being. She walked over and felt it in person, and was about to fall into the yellow sand in person!

Originally, the quicksand sank a little as it was excavated. When she passed by alone, she directly fell into it, and soon even her head was submerged in the yellow sand!

Of course, Long Ying could come up, but she didn't do that, but went down the quicksand directly, wanting to see if there were any other secrets.

Seeing this scene, Pu Yang immediately summoned Duan Yu, letting it shrink its body to normal level, and then followed him and passed through the place.

After Long Ying fell to an end, the quicksand returned to motion, as if the sand was controlled or had life. When Pu Yang and Duan Yu passed by, they quickly sank and fell down with Pu Yang. Duan Yu quickly grabbed Pu Yang and followed him.

According to normal speculation, this can sink by more than ten meters at most, and it will be almost the same for dozens of meters. And it should be full of yellow sand around, but after sinking in, Puyang found that it was completely different!

He actually fell to a deep distance, and it felt like he had fallen for hundreds of meters before he landed on the ground!

There was no light here. Pu Yang immediately took out Xiaobai's night pearl and shone it out with a soft light. Although it was not very bright and the range was not too far, Pu Yang now could see everything clearly as long as there was a little light.

Look up, good guy! You can't even see the top. The top seems to be a layer of soil, not quicksand. There is some falling sand around him, but apart from that, there is no yellow sand filling around, and there is a lot of space.

This is not a house where houses are buried by yellow sand, but like a huge underground palace!

After looking around, he became even more surprised that the scope here was definitely not a house for each household, nor a post station. At first glance, it should have the size of a village and town. In ancient times, it was also the Western Regions, so it was not an exaggeration to call it a city.

What surprised him even more was that Long Ying, who fell a little earlier than him, was not only not around, but was no longer visible.

"Aunt Long?" Although I couldn't see it, Pu Yangneng could feel that Long Ying was also in this underground palace.

"I'm here!" Long Ying's voice came from the front.

Pu Yang immediately rushed over with the night pearl.

It's really big enough! In addition to what he saw before, there is still a lot of room for turning.

"What's going on?" Pu Yang rushed to Long Ying and saw her looking at a stone tablet intently.

With the light of the Night Pearl, the stone tablet became clearer, but Pu Yang did not recognize the text on it.

"It's similar to what you guessed, but this is not another world, but an ancient city buried underground by yellow sand." Long Ying responded in a low voice. She hadn't finished reading or hadn't identified it yet.

"Can you understand these words?" Pu Yang was a little surprised. The dragon clan understands human civilization better than humans?

Long Yingtou answered without looking back: "Did you forget what business we do? And after decades of Zhengyuan, I have learned a little bit in order to cultivate common interests and common topics."

"..." Pu Yang couldn't help but sigh. Liu Zhengyuan was also a protagonist-like existence. He was able to receive the heart-to-heart service of a dragon girl, and even cater to his hobbies because of his deep love.

Long Ying probably finished reading the text above, and then briefly told Pu Yang: "This is an ancient city, which may be a place called Hecheng in the ancient Kucha Kingdom that is nearly two thousand years old. At that time, people lived by oasis and aquatic plants. There was a small oasis here, so a city was reproduced, which seemed to be a developed place at that time. I just don't know how it turned out like this..."

Looking around, some ancient Western-style houses are still there, most of them are relatively simple. You can vaguely see the original appearance of the city, and of course there are no people. The strange thing is that it is actually underground and under the desert!

"This is too unscientific." Pu Yang smiled bitterly: "If there was no sand here at that time, it was understandable that yellow sand had covered it for hundreds of thousands of years, the ancient city should be completely covered. How could it be maintained? It still looks like a mud layer on it."

"I'll find Zhengyuan first." Long Ying didn't think much about why this place turned out like this. She was concerned about whether Liu Zhengyuan fell here.

Long Ying may be able to see in the dark, but with Puyang's Night Pearl, the effect is much better. So he did not act separately, including Duan Yu, and searched forward.

Duan Yu was very excited. After going down the mountain, it encountered too many magical things.

Pu Yang sighed secretly. If he sensed Liu Zhengyuan here, Long Ying would definitely be very excited and directly searched for her. Now her seemingly calm reaction shows that she still has nothing to find, so what she needs to search is to find the body!

Most of the buildings here are primitive and simple. I don’t know if they are underground all year round. Some wooden structures are not even available, and of course they may be broken as soon as they touch them.

As they walked forward, they didn't go much further, and they saw a magnificent building!

This building is of course nothing in modern times, or in the whole country, the whole world. But in this weird underground ancient city of Kucha is the most conspicuous and magnificent building.

"This should be a primitive temple, a place for sacrifice and praying for rain." Long Ying took a look and gave a brief introduction.

Since it is the most magnificent building here, if the archaeological team arrives here, they will definitely come here to inspect. They didn’t go in the other simple houses, so they naturally walked in here.

I stepped on the steps built by the big stones and approached the temple. It was very spacious, but it was still simple and there was no statue of god worship. It seemed that it was still a primitive worship of heaven and earth, wind gods and rain gods.

It was clear inside, there was no one, not even bones or anything. But Long Ying sniffed and immediately said, "Zhengyuan has been here!"

"It was only these two days that I lost contact. I have been here and I must be here. They may have found a way out in this underground maze!" Pu Yang was a little relieved. Although he had not seen anyone, if he had only been trapped here for a day or two, even if he had no food supplies, he would not have been able to kill each other and eat meat.

"But I can't feel that he is here..." Long Ying frowned, then observed the ground carefully bit by bit. "Don't move!"

Duan Yu, who was just about to take off, was startled and dared not fly around, so he stood obediently.

Pu Yang searched for it and found that there was not much information in the temple. His last gaze fell on a stone pillar in the center. Even if it had archaeological value, it would not be possible to take the stone away. But since it was here, Liu Zhengyuan and the others should have a careful investigation, right? Will you leave a clue first?

At this time, Long Ying pointed to the ground like a detective and said, "Although this place is strange, there is no yellow sand invasion or wind, it has not been cleaned for thousands of years, and there is still a lot of dust falling. It is obvious that someone has stepped on it, and there are several people coming in. They have walked here, and here... these have also been touched. But... from the footprints, it seems that only those who come in and not those who go out!"

From the differences between the front and back of the shoes, you can indeed see the different footprints coming in and out. However, the ground is covered with stones, so Pu Yang couldn't see them. I didn't expect Long Ying to be so careful. Maybe this is the difference in her intentions!

"The person is not here, there is no teleportation formation, and there is no space crack. Since I have been here, I should be in this underground palace. Let's go to other places to look for it?"

Pu Yang couldn't answer it, but there was obviously no place to hide people here, it was empty. There were stone slabs underground, and it was impossible to drill into the ground. Footprints... It was also possible that Long Ying could only recognize the footsteps they had just walked in.
