Only then did they realize that there was actually a mechanism similar to a windmill under the quicksand that was slowly spinning non-stop.
As for the people who had been thrown in, some had already been torn in half, and some had fallen down through the gap, but it was unknown where they had gone.
Chi Gou killed the remaining bandits and destroyed the windmill mechanism with the Cliff Eagle before jumping into the hole under the mechanism.
Inside, she found the dying Wang Wulang. However, the Cliff Eagle could not bring two people with it. Chi Gou found tools inside and wrote a simple letter first, asking the Cliff Eagle to go back and report first.
At this moment, Ah Yu and the others arrived above the Land of Death and also discovered the huge hole in the middle.
“Look, it looks like something has sunken in here,” Xie Zhen said as he looked at the huge hole.
Ah Yu said, “The books say that there will be some quicksand in the desert. There might also be a vortex under the seemingly flat desert that will suck people in. Once they’re sucked in, it’s very difficult to escape. This huge hole looks like a kind of flowing quicksand. Look carefully. At the innermost part of the hole, the sand is not fixed. It’s slowly spinning and sinking.”
Hearing All Yu’s hint, everyone hurriedly looked over. As expected, they discovered evidence of the slow movement of the sand.
[Kid, you’re right. There’s a fan mechanism under the sand, but it’s already been destroyed. The reason why the sand is still flowing is because there’s a large space under the pinwheel mechanism. When this space is filled with sand, there won’t be any more quicksand here.]
Shi Zhou led the way. “1’11 scout the way first.”
Ah Yu reminded, “Be careful.”
“There’s also a lot of sand in the West Wind Nation. Some smart horse bandits will build fortifications on the ground and dig caves underground to create an illusion to confuse people. They’ll use the illusion to attack passing merchants, rob them of their belongings, or plot to take their lives.” Shi Zhou smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m more experienced in dealing with such people.”
Those who could be horse bandits in the sand area were all real villains. Killing anyone they saw was the most effective method.
Usually, these underground mechanisms had to be controlled by someone. Otherwise, they would stop operating after a certain period of time.
The mechanism in front of him must have been destroyed or the person inside was already dead.
Shi Zhou used the bamboo pole that he had prepared long ago to probe over bit by bit. Then, he found the key point of the pinwheel mechanism and raised it with the bamboo pole, revealing a piece of wood.
He used his movement technique and stomped on the wood. The entire pinwheel mechanism was like a bone that had lost its support and instantly fell apart. The surrounding sand also quickly fell in.
After falling to a certain extent, a circle of boulders appeared around the sand, blocking more sand from entering, leaving a gap that could allow a person to pass through.
“Wow, Envoy Shi, this move of yours is really powerful!” All Yu was really impressed. This was the solution that only people who often worked outside could find. Unlike her, she relied more on the elf or the books.
[The mission “Find the secret of the Land of Death” has been completed. The mission to enter the Land of Death has been activated and completed. The 500 points reward has been received immediately. The weapon, the Heavenly Guide Bow, has been distributed. Please collect it yourself.]
The announcement sounded, followed by Meatball’s excited voice: “Kid, you have a new weapon! However, the method of distribution this time is more special. You have to come here to get it.”
“Didn’t you send the previous rewards directly to the spatial pocket?”
