Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Hmm! That's more like it. We won't let you make a wasted trip; you'll receive a 50,000 yuan reward afterward."

Ji Haobo nodded in satisfaction, not wanting to waste any more time with him, and handed over two stacks of money.

"Here's 20,000 for now. Prepare the necessary supplies for the camels, and don't worry about the rest."

We'll set off as soon as the sandstorm stops. Don't even think about running away, or you'll be on a nationwide wanted list.

Anliman took the money, his expression changing as he watched the others walk away. After a long while, he looked at his camel with a mournful face.

The next day, the sandstorm outside subsided considerably, and we no longer encountered situations where we would get a mouthful of dust as soon as we went out.

"Looks like we can set off tomorrow. Lao Hu, you two go and inform Anliman, and while you're at it, ask around to see if anyone knows how to roast camels, and order two to eat on the road."

"Wow, roasted camel? That sounds good. I've only ever had roasted whole lamb, never roasted camel!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly followed Old Hu out the door.

In the evening, the group sat with Anliman in a small courtyard eating roasted whole lamb.

Yes! It's roasted whole lamb, because roasting a camel takes seven days, and there's simply no time to prepare it now, nor do they have the time to wait.

However, I have reserved one, and I plan to take it to Kyoto when I get back.

Ji Haobo has a magical phone; he can make a call to Wang Baiwan's office with just one call, without worrying about the time.

"Commander, are we really going into the desert tomorrow? It's the windy season now, and we might encounter a black sandstorm. That's really too dangerous!"

Anliman ate a piece of roasted mutton with his mouth full of oil, and after taking a sip of mare's milk wine, he still wanted to make one last struggle.

"Ignoring the scorching heat, and regardless of the possibility of a black sandstorm, I'm definitely going into the desert tomorrow."

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, ruthlessly crushing any lingering hope in his heart.

"You don't need to worry so much. Just lead the way honestly, and I guarantee you'll be safe and sound."

But if they intend to abandon their responsibilities and run away as usual, Allah will surely unleash His wrath to punish them.

Anliman's next statement almost made them laugh. The old man thought that going into the desert at this time would probably be a one-way trip.

So, with a resolute expression, he grabbed the roasted lamb and began to eat and drink heartily, as if this were his last meal before his execution.

Under the blazing sun, the sky after the sandstorm was cloudless, as if it had been washed clean.

The undulating sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see, a scene both desolate and vibrant, the air distorted like a mirror under the intense heat.

"Commander, does your tiger really not eat people?"

Looking ahead at the Biaozi that Yang Xueli and Laura were riding, An Liman's eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

After entering the desert at noon, he discovered that these leaders from Kyoto had somehow acquired such a large and strange tiger.

His exaggerated height and the scar from his past in the underworld are enough to send chills down your spine.

He had no doubt that with his weight of over 100 pounds, he probably wouldn't even burp after being eaten.

"Oh... well, it depends on the situation. Even though it's never eaten a human, it's not like we can't just give it a try!"

Seeing the smile on Ji Haobo's lips, An Liman felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject without daring to think too much.

"Then it won't eat my camel, right? This is our friend, and you can't eat your friend!"

"That depends on whether you're willing to be friends with it!"

Ji Haobo shrugged with a half-smile, while Lao Hu and Fatty Wang laughed heartily.

Two and a half of the three sentences from Master Bo contained threats, both overt and covert, and An Li, his face ashen, resigned himself to his fate.

Time flew by and it was already the fourth day since the group entered the desert. Everything was fine in the morning;

But by noon, the air became somewhat restless, and unusual phenomena appeared in the distant sky.

These are things that ordinary people cannot sense or see that far, but they cannot escape Ji Haobo's perception and eyes.

"Anliman, a sandstorm is coming. Are there any ruins where we can temporarily take shelter?"

The old man was taken aback upon hearing this, turning his head to look at the sky and the surrounding area, and said with some suspicion:

"Oh...? In my decades of experience traveling through the desert, I haven't seen any signs of a sandstorm. Don't talk nonsense!"

No sooner had he finished questioning than Fatty Wang glared at him and started cursing.

"Damn it, stop talking nonsense and lead the way to hide. I don't want to eat sand and dirt."

"Uh... okay! There are some ruins ahead, we can get there in an hour or two, but is there really a sandstorm coming?"

Although Anliman was intimidated by Fatty Wang's tyranny, he still harbored deep suspicions.

However, Ji Haobo didn't want to argue with him and immediately urged the camel to run.

Seeing this, Anliman could only hurry ahead to lead the way, as he didn't want to run around and cause his camels any trouble.

More than half an hour later, the abnormality in the air became very obvious. The wind began to blow sand, and the gloom in the distant sky was visible to the naked eye.

"Yo...yo yo..."

Anliman immediately became anxious and hurriedly urged the camel to speed up. He regretted not listening to Ji Haobo from the beginning, which caused some delay.

However, it should still be in time to reach the ruins and take shelter before the sandstorm arrives.

As time passed, the howling wind grew stronger, and the sandstorm dimmed the light, making visibility blurry.

Fortunately, it had no effect on Ji Haobo. The sandstorm couldn't get close to him, and the light couldn't block his vision.

Suddenly, he saw the shadow of a building in the distance ahead and immediately led the way.

"Quick, keep up!"

After a hurried half-hour journey, the group finally arrived at a scene of ruins.

Although the place is dilapidated, it must have been buried in the sand before, and since the building materials are stone, there are still some places that can be sheltered.

Ji Haobo randomly found a half-collapsed, half-buried stone house and crawled inside, followed closely by the others, while only Anliman stayed outside to comfort the camels.

However, the numerous dilapidated buildings of the ruins block the view, and the sandstorm that has not yet fully arrived has not had a significant impact on this area.

"Pah, pah, pah! This desert is no place for humans to live. It's even more unbearable than the frozen world. When a sandstorm comes, the sand can eat its fill right away!"

Fatty Wang came in, shaking off the sand and spitting out sand as he complained.

"That's right! I've been eating sand for decades, and recently the doctor said the sand in my body has turned into stones, what's called kidney stones!"

After settling the camels, Anliman came in, patted his clothes, and said something that made people both laugh and cry.

"Hehe, your kidney stones have nothing to do with sand. It's because you spend so much time in the desert and don't drink enough water."

Ji Haobo took out a tent and asked Yang Xueli and the others to set it up. The space here was not large, and only one tent could be set up for two people.

Anriman was already used to his ability to conjure things out of thin air. The old man was cunning and didn't ask any questions, acting as if he hadn't seen anything.
