The next morning.

Everyone came to the entrance of the hotel to gather.

What Lin You didn't expect was that in addition to driving two off-road jeeps, the Smiling Buddha also brought four **camels.

Choi Soo-soo blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously: "Don't you have cars? Why are you still bringing camels?"

Lin You explained: "When the car is driving in the desert, it is easy to fall into the quicksand pit and scrap."

"So, if you want to really go deeper into the desert, it's safer for camels."

"This kind of **cam has extremely amazing endurance. Even if you don't eat or drink, you can rely on the fat stored in the hump and the water stored in the multi-room stomach to walk in the desert for weeks without eating or drinking."

Hearing this, Choi Soo-soo's eyes widened: "So amazing!"

Lin You nodded: "In the eyes of the locals, camels are creatures favored by the gods of the desert and are an existence that can bring good luck to travelers."

Soon, the smiley Buddha loaded all the equipment and supplies into the car.

After all the preparations were completed, they were ready to enter the desert.

Although camels have extremely amazing endurance, it would be a bit nonsense to want them to keep up with the speed of off-road vehicles.

Therefore, the Smiling Buddha and the others could only drive the car and slowly lead the camel behind them, as if they were traveling.

While driving, he spoke: "The food and water we bring are enough for the four of us to use for a month."

"Of course, this does not mean that we can only last thirty days in the desert."

"After all, there are several oasis in the Taklamakan Desert that can help us replenish fresh water on site."

"And if it really doesn't work, we can slaughter these four camels, drink blood and eat meat."

The smiley Buddha said this, not a joke.

After many explorers lost their way in the desert, they only managed to escape from the desert by drinking the blood of camels and eating the meat of camels.

It can be said that when necessary, these camels are their reserved food.

Otherwise, the Smiling Buddha wouldn't have spent a lot of money to buy these camels.

Just an ordinary camel will be sold for 6,000 yuan.

The few heads bought by the locals are as high as 9,000 yuan per head.

However, if he could bring these camels back alive, he could return the four camels directly, and one camel would only charge 1,500 yuan for a rental fee.

The smiling Buddha thought he was very considerate, but the people around him were not listening to him at all...

Choi Xiuxiu entered the desert for the first time and was looking at the scene outside the window with a novel face.

Lin You, who had already stuffed his carry-on space, was not worried about the shortage of food and fresh water at all. He was closing his eyes and resting.

As for Jia Hu, he was holding a big light brown pocket and kept stuffing bean cakes into his mouth. He also said vaguely: "Lord Buddha, these bean cakes are too unpalatable, dry and salty, and are full of salt particles..."

The smiling Buddha was slightly stunned and subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

Then, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone: "Jia Hu, just look at the label carefully and you will know that the bag of dry food in your hand is actually for camels..."

Jia Hu: "???"

Aba, Aba Aba, Aba Aba Aba…

…………

Not long after, Lin You and the others drove into the desert.

In front of them, the sandy mountains formed by the wind blowing and flying are rolling and staggering.

The composite sand mountains and sand ridges are like giant dragons resting on the earth.

The sand patterns as smooth as the waves have changed into various beautiful scenes under the influence of light and shadow. Some look like human faces, some look like bird feathers, some look like fish scales, and some look like birds and beasts...

Under the sunlight, these sand patterns appear light yellow, orange and fiery red color blocks, colorful and dazzling.

“It’s so beautiful.”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Choi Xiuxiu couldn't help but sigh.

Lin You looked out of the car window, nodded, and whispered: "It's indeed beautiful, but the more beautiful the thing is, the more dangerous it is."

Choi Soo-soo nodded with approval: "So... I'm in danger."

Lin You: "... Do you want your pussy face?"

The first part of their itinerary was to start from Bosten Lake, go west along the Peacock River, and finally find the ancient river channel.

The geographical environment in the desert is complex and you can only use this method to judge the direction of your progress without any errors.

Using other methods to position coordinates is simply unreliable.

For example, you just remembered that there is a sand dune in this place. Maybe when you go to bed the next day, the place will become a flat yellow sand land...

In short, the landform here is even more lie than a man's mouth.

After finding the ancient river channel, continue to move towards the southeast direction and then you can successfully reach the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.

Logically speaking, this area near the Peacock River cannot be regarded as a true desert at all.

The water in Peacock River is blue and clear, as if it has never been polluted by humans. In such a hot weather, people want to jump in and take a shower.

The smiling Buddha chuckled and said, "Most of those who came to the Taklamakan Desert traveled just after walking around the Peacock River, took a few beautiful photos, and thought they had conquered the world's second largest desert."

"I have to say that people who have this kind of thinking are really ridiculous."

"The tranquility and peace here is just a disguise of the desert."

"Only after this layer of disguise is torn off, this desert will truly open its fangs to us."

Every sentence said by the Smiling Buddha is true.

In the depths of the Taklamakan Desert, one-third of the year is a sandy day, with strong winds reaching 300 meters per second.

Under such harsh conditions, only a very small number of creatures can survive.

Fortunately, there is still some time before entering the depths of the desert.

Now they can sit in the car and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the car.

Lin You took out a baked pancake and put it in his mouth and started gnawing it in small mouth.

This kind of cake, called "Kumaisi", is a cake made of wheat flour.

Moreover, the production method is extremely special. After kneading the noodles, the sand is heated with a cage, and then the noodles are spread on the hot sand and covered with hot sand. The cakes will be cooked soon, and there is no grain of sand on it.

Looking at the browned cakes baked in Lin You's hand, Jia Hu was obviously greedy.

He stared at the pancake with a gaze, and his saliva was almost flowing down.

Of course, Lin You was not a stingy person. He immediately broke half of the pancake and handed it to Jia Hu in front of him: "Come and try half a piece?"

Although Jia Hu was very moved, he waved his hand and smiled honestly: "It's still not necessary."

The smiling Buddha, who was driving, scolded angrily: "Okay, Lin You, don't pay attention to him. This guy just ate half of the bean cakes I fed from camels, and he could still eat them all!"

Lin You: “…”

Although the pancake tastes very delicious, it is just too dry.

After taking it for a while, I felt dry mouth.

Lin You took out a bottle of Coca-Cola with his back hand, and after twisting the cap, he started drinking tons of tons.

The smiling Buddha glanced at him and immediately felt a little tooth pain.

In the desert where water resources are so scarce and precious.

This kid actually brings Coke?!

However, when I thought that I had asked for something for Yu Linyou this time, I smiled and swallowed it back.

"Ah, senior brother, you also brought Coke!"

Cui Xiuxiu immediately turned around and looked at Lin You with a gaze: "I want to drink a bottle too."

"What do you want to drink? I'll get it for you."

Lin You pulled open his backpack and poured out a lot of drinks from it.

Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Wangzai Milk, Nutrition Express, Fruit Orange...

Lin You spoke while taking the drinks out, "You know, fresh water resources in the desert are quite scarce, so I brought more."

The Smiling Buddha is almost going crazy.

Damn, you who bring a backpack of drinks are the least qualified to say such things, right?!

…………

The sunset is setting, and the afterglow of the sunset is pouring down.

The desert in front of me changed from golden yellow to sand red under the reflection of the sunset, and the shadows became dimmer and dimmer. The continuous sand dunes showed a very three-dimensional light and shadow effect.

The sand dunes that rise and fall in the desert seem to be connected to the sunset at the boundless end, as if they form a magnificent and beautiful picture between heaven and earth.
