Chapter 124 The Mysterious Palace

Without a guide, the desert trip at the end of Tang Dynasty was much more difficult.

Although I never encountered any other beasts, the harsh terrain and the volatile weather in the late Tang Dynasty could no longer be avoided.

Jingjing is heavier now. Although she is not very long, her weight has caught up with a seven or eight-year-old child.

Only get into Tang Mo's backpack in an emergency. Usually, he jumps up and down in front of Tang Mo to make way for Tang Mo.

With such a little guy to accompany him, Tang Mo didn't feel so lonely, and he was quite happy along the way.

I don't know how long I walked, but Tang Mo still didn't see anything other than sand in the desert.

There is not even a green plant, let alone a person.

Once there are no other obstacles in the person's field of vision, he will concentrate a lot.

Tang Mo lowered his head and looked at the sand under his feet, which was rough and had the scorching temperature of the sun after a long time.

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

Wrong!

Tang Mo's lazy eyes suddenly turned serious.

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

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 again, and found that the delicacy was only maintained within a small area of ​​100 meters in front of her, which was probably a circle with a diameter of about five meters.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. At this time, Tang Mo remembered the words he had said with the guide before, so he stopped cautiously.

But Jingjing, who was walking in front of Tang Mo at this time, continued to walk forward unprepared, seeing that she 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 took a few more steps forward, then looked back at Tang Mo with a puzzled look on her face.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration on the ground. The vibration was very subtle, but it was still noticed by Tang Mo, who had released his mental power to always pay attention to the surrounding situation.

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

is quicksand!

Until this time, at the end of Tang Dynasty, he finally confirmed what the fine sand in front of him was, it was quicksand.

She heard the guide mention quicksand before. It was like a man-eating monster that could devour people in a very short period of time, leaving people without the strength to resist.

That is the most natural horror trap in the desert.

At this time, Jingjing's two legs had already sunk into the sand, and it struggled constantly, but it couldn't pull out its own legs, and could only watch its body being pulled into the sand little by little. .

"woo woo woo woo…"

Jingjing looked at Tang Mo with a look of horror and pleading eyes, and wanted Tang Mo to save it.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, he had already taken out the lifeline prepared earlier from the space, then tied a bottle of mineral water to the top, aimed at Jingjing and threw it out.

Jingjing's little head is very clever. Seeing Tang Mo pull out the rope, she immediately understood what she meant.

grabbed it the moment it flew over with a mineral water bottle tied to it.

At the end of Tang Dynasty, Jingjing grabbed the bottle over there, and hurriedly pulled out the bottle and the fox, trying to pull out the lower half of Jingjing's body.

Tang Mo knew the weight of   Jingjing. It was not a problem for him to run with it on his back, but now he just pulled it out, and Tang Mo didn't take it seriously.

But when she exerted her strength here, she realized that the situation was not as simple as she thought.

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

Jingjing's two front paws were pulling the rope hard and trying to struggle upwards, but there was no way.

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 away from the area covered by quicksand.

On both ends of the rope, no one would admit defeat. Tang Mo gritted his teeth and insisted, but he still slipped forward involuntarily.

Seeing that Tang Mo was getting closer to him, Wading Yuanyuan's eyes were full of struggles.

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

At the end of Tang Dynasty, he knew that at this time, it might be the best choice to let go of the rope and avoid the area of ​​quicksand, and Jingjing was just a beast.

But for so long, she has long regarded Jingjing as her partner, her first partner.

It's not so much that she must save Jingjing, it's more that she can't accept a self who will immediately abandon her partner when she is in danger.

Suddenly, Tang Mo felt that the ground under his feet seemed to vibrate.

"No, the suction of quicksand seems to have gotten bigger!"

If at the end of Tang Dynasty just now, she could barely compete with quicksand, then she, who is still holding the rope firmly, is no longer able to resist.

There was almost no time for Tang Mo to react, and Tang Mo was pulled into the quicksand by the rope in an instant, and the whole person fell into it.

The world is spinning

Tang Mo only felt that she was falling, and the uncontrollable weightlessness made her feel unreal, as if she was so close to death.

The whole body is covered with soft fine sand with temperature. It is not as scary as imagined, but instead, it seems to be curled up in the arms of my mother.

Fortunately, in the desert, there was a lot of wind and dust, so Tang Mo always wore a dust mask. At this time, her mouth and nose could not be blocked by sand, and she could barely maintain the most basic breathing.

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

The height should be very high for such a long time, but there is no pain, and all the sand under the body is pressed into a shape of the end of the Tang Dynasty.

"it hurts…"

Tang Mo patted her face with her hands and slowly opened her eyes. The pain in her body couldn't make her stand up quickly, so she could only lie there in a large font.

At this height, is it below the surface?

At the end of Tang Dynasty, he looked at the top of his head, and what caught his eye was the very high ceiling, just like what Tang Mo had seen in Dunhuang before.

Looking around, the space here is very large, like a huge palace, with pillars, murals and many sculptures and portraits that cannot be recognized in the late Tang Dynasty.

Mysterious, solemn, is the biggest feeling here.

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

Including the walls and roofs as well as those sculptures and murals.

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

She seems to know where this is.
