A note at the beginning: This isn't a novel that belongs entirely to the tomb-raiding genre. It's more like an adventure story.
Every place in the book, and every story involving the people encountered along the way, has a real-world counterpart. Rather than a novel, you might call it a record.
Half of a tattered parchment scroll brings to light the little-known secrets of ancient Loulan.
Following the account written on the damaged parchment, Zhou Yi finds the ruins of Loulan, where black mandrake flowers from the Western Regions bloom across the land.
The highly venomous, elusive human-faced spiders roaming the desert, sand soldiers that mysteriously come back to life, and an ancient bronze box inside a giant sandworm beneath the quicksand during a desert sandstorm.
Legend has it that when the two pieces of parchment are joined, a route to the underground palace of the ancient kingdom of Loulan will appear on the scroll. The key to unlocking Loulan's treasure lies on the chest of the Queen of Loulan.
The tears of a merfolk can awaken a sleeping curse. Atlantis, an island in the middle of the sea. The gates of time and space are already open to you.
Welcome to this strange world, and come search for the truth that was lost!
