Chapter 1910 Just because of Boredom

The vast Gobi desert is desolate, with gravel everywhere and no trace of human beings.

Looking around, except for a few isolated bare rocks standing within sight, there are no more landmark buildings.

Holding the map, comparing it carefully, and pondering it carefully, it was clearly recorded that there was a winding saltwater river less than 500 meters away from the two stone sculptures.

But wherever you look, there is no trace of water flow at all. Apart from the long yellow sand, there are gravels that move in the wind, and there are clusters of wild grasses with extremely strong vitality.

Well, even if this saltwater river dries up and weathers over the course of a hundred years, the riverbed won’t disappear altogether, right?

I looked left and right, or put my hands on my forehead, and looked into the distance, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find any traces of the river bed.

Could it be that the river bed was buried by a sandstorm?

This is too exaggerated. How big of a sandstorm would it take to fill an entire river bed?

Feeling anxious and angry, I spat hard, picked up another bag, and drank a small sip of water.

In the process of settling my emotions, I saw a white thing three or four meters away. It was very pure, like a small piece of white pebbles.

Is it pebbles? !

I stood up in excitement, walked a few steps quickly, and came to the white block. I looked carefully and felt ecstatic in my heart: If it is really pebbles, it means that the place I am now is the dried river bed. !

marvelous!

God really pays off!

Finally I found it!

Excited, I trembled with my hands and dug up the sand near the white lumps.

The sand was dug up, and the white lump revealed its true appearance. My eyes were shaking with excitement, and I almost jumped to my feet and cursed out - this is not a pebble at all, but a section buried in yellow sand. Hand bones!

Peat!

I angrily threw the bones of my hand to the ground, and with a crack, the bones fell apart instantly.

At the same time, Odachi's unpleasant laughter sounded in my ears.

Laugh, laugh, it’s so fucked up, it’s all joy!

After laughing for ten minutes, Odachi finally laughed enough and finally remembered that I was its owner, so his tone changed and he started to encourage me.

It believes that the discovery of hand bones is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it may be a sign that the river bed is about to be found, and one must have confidence.

I thought to myself: "How dare you muster up so much confidence? It's an omen. Who told you that there is an inevitable connection between corpses and riverbeds?"

Odachi was not angry at all, he smiled and said: "Anyway, you dug up the corpse, so it is destined to you. You might as well show kindness and dig out the entire skeleton, and then find a place to bury it properly." It can also be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.”

I sneered: "When did you become a believer in Buddhism?"

Odachi chuckled and said: "Accumulating virtue through good deeds is not just a theory found in Buddhism. God has the virtue of being good at life. This has been passed down since ancient times."

Then, it started talking to me a lot about so-called good and evil, which made me dizzy.

In desperation, I had no choice but to comply with its request, starting from the hole where the hand bones were dug out, and continued to dig deeper, and then gradually expanded the scope. Once I found a white object, I immediately restrained my strength and carefully peeled away the soil.

This process lasted for more than an hour. I just used the Odachi sword and a pair of hand guards to dig out a large hole two meters square.

After piecing together the scattered skeletons, I suddenly discovered that this was not just the skeleton of one person, but also some other bones that did not belong to this skeleton.

Picking up a piece of patella, I looked confused and said to myself: "Why did you dig out so many more bones?"

Odachi whispered from the side: "A good person will do it to the end and send the Buddha to the West."

"Okay, I get it, I get it, can't I dig it? Just give me some peace and quiet!"

Another round of digging took nearly three hours, and finally a large pit was dug two meters deep and six meters long and wide.

Leaning against the wall of the pit, I took a breath, took out the wine bag and drank a few sips. The hot wine slurry stimulated my throat and cheered me up.

All the excavated corpses were pieced together, and finally six complete skeletons were assembled.

Judging from the shape of the bones, these six corpses are of two women and four men. Judging from the bone density, they should be quite powerful adventurers.

Why were they buried here?

Was he attacked by rogue bandits? Or were you attacked by monsters?

Well, the latter should be unlikely. At least so far, I haven't even seen a living animal, let alone a monster.

However, the possibility of being attacked by rogue bandits is relatively high.

"These people must have experienced fierce battles before they died." I said, picked up an arm bone, pointed to the unnatural cracks on it, and said, "They were probably hit by hard objects here, and here, here "

I pointed out a dozen breaking points in succession.

Odachi deeply agreed with my judgment and said earnestly: "When you stop being an adventurer in the future, you can try to be a forensic doctor."

I hummed softly, stood up, and said, "Okay, all the bones have been found, it's time to get down to business."

"What's the matter?" Odachi asked knowingly.

"Of course we are looking for the river bed," I said, "Only by finding the river bed can we find the possibility of finding the tomb, but"

I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already heading towards the west. It would be dusk in a few hours and I had to find a place to rest.

"Oh~ Riverbed, I said, haven't you found the riverbed yet?"

"Are you asking this because you are too busy?" I asked, "Don't you know if you have found the river bed?"

"I know, that's why I asked you," Odachi said, "Haven't you discovered it yet?"

"What did you find?"

"Where you are standing now is the river bed!"

"Huh?" I subconsciously looked at my feet and then at the walls: "You think this is a river bed? Are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding?" Odachi asked: "Let me ask you, brat, what is the most obvious sign of the riverbed?"

I said without thinking: "Water!"

"That's right," Odachi said, "Didn't you notice that the humidity here is very high?"

"Humidity?" I murmured, taking off my glove at the same time, squatting down, and grabbing a handful of soil. Sure enough, it was very moist!

"Although the river bed may dry up or be buried by wind and sand, there must still be stored water under it," Odachi explained: "So, as long as you can confirm that the soil below a few meters is moist, you can judge that the place is properly moist. It’s a riverbed site.”

"So, you asked me to dig up the bones because you realized that this might be a river bed site?"

I said with excitement.

"No, you're overthinking," Odachi said in a funny tone, "I'm just bored and want to watch you dig holes to pass the time."
