After walking a few dozen meters past the broken gatehouse, a relatively intact stone house appeared in front of him. The surroundings were buried by yellow sand, leaving only a gap that was more than two meters high and more than one meter wide, like a window.
The sandstorm was getting stronger and the sky was already dark. Even though Zhang Lei was standing in front of the stone house, he could not see how big it was from the outside.
The two white camels did not stop. One of them walked to the gap and bent its front leg. Soon, it went in through the gap. The other one rubbed its big head against Zhang Lei's body and signaled him to go in with its eyes.
Zhang Lei believed in the goodwill of the two camels. He gently touched the white camel's forehead and turned to enter the gap. The white camel followed him in. At this time, Yang Xueli, who was panting, quickly followed him into the gap.
After all, the sandstorm outside was too strong. If they did not find a place to hide, they would probably be buried by the yellow sand very soon.
Zhang Lei quickly checked his surroundings as soon as he entered the house.
This was a stone room of about 100 square meters. Half of the room was filled with yellow sand, and the four walls were made of flat stone strips. There were no decorations or murals. The only eye-catching thing was the half-closed stone door on the left wall.
Then, Zhang Lei also saw Yang Xueli who had followed him in. He frowned slightly. This girl was really bold. She actually dared to follow him in such a violent sandstorm.
However, Zhang Lei didn't say much and just nodded to greet him.
At this moment, the two white camels walked straight to the half-closed stone door. One of them used its head to push the stone door in, just like a human pushing the door.
A rumbling sound was heard as the stone door was slowly pushed open until it was enough for a person to squeeze in. The white camel stopped moving and turned to look at Zhang Lei and Yang Xueli, as if signaling them to enter.
At this moment, Zhang Lei and Yang Xueli were a little stunned. This white camel was too human.
Zhang Lei smiled and immediately walked towards the stone door. Yang Xueli wanted to stop him, but it was dark inside. Who knew what was inside?
However, seeing Zhang Lei's relaxed expression, he retracted his raised hand and followed him through the stone door after a moment of hesitation.
There was almost no light inside the stone door. It was very dark. Zhang Lei immediately took out a cold flame stick from his backpack and gently twisted the end. The stick immediately emitted a cold blue light.
(The outside of the cold flame rod is a plastic shell, and the inside is a glass tube sandwich. There were different types of liquids inside and outside the sandwich. On one side was a solute, and on the other side was a fatty compound. When using it, an external force was needed to break the glass sandwich. The two compounds could be mixed, and the mixed compound would react, causing the fluorescent dye to glow. It achieved the effect of glowing. It was often used for military and exploration purposes.）
The next moment, Zhang Lei was stunned. Yang Xueli, who had followed him in, was also stunned.
White bones.
In front of him was a pile of white bones. There were at least a dozen of them.
These bones were of different shapes. Some were lying down, some were kneeling, and some were sitting against the wall…
"Why are there so many bones here?”Yang Xueli frowned slightly. She didn't scream, but her tone was a little puzzled.
Zhang Lei did not care about Yang Xueli's attitude. After all, he knew Yang Xueli's identity very well. It would be abnormal if such a small number of bones could make her scream.
He only stared at the white bones for a few seconds and thought, These people must have been eaten by the Desert Army Ants. However, the desert climate was dry, so it was impossible to tell how long these people had been dead.
However, he did not say it out loud. After all, he had not even seen the Desert Army Ants yet.
"Maybe he's here to hide from the sandstorm like us!”Zhang Lei said casually and then turned his head to look at a black hole behind the bones.
The hole was less than two meters high and about one meter wide. It looked like a tunnel entrance, and these dozen skeletons were almost all near the tunnel entrance.
"Could it be that the two white camels brought me here for this tunnel?”
Zhang Lei did not enter the tunnel immediately. He stared at the tunnel entrance and pondered.
The two white camels obviously brought him here on purpose, but why?
There are so many people in this group. Why does the white camel like me? It can't be because I'm handsome!
Although I am indeed very handsome, they are just camels…
Could it be that they can sense the bloodline aura in my body? Or was there some other reason?
The white camel, which was called the magical fairy of the desert, should be able to sense my bloodline aura.
But the purpose of them bringing me here is very likely to be this tunnel. Could there be something under the tunnel?
At this moment, Zhang Lei suddenly felt like he was in a fantasy novel. Some kind of mythical beast brought the protagonist to find some kind of treasure…
"Hehe, it seems like I'm thinking too much!”
Zhang Lei laughed at himself and dispelled his fantasy thoughts. His thoughts returned to reality."Do you want to go down and take a look?"
"Zhang Lei, these skeletons are all gathered at the tunnel entrance. There might be a problem down there.”At this moment, Yang Xueli walked up and said.
"Yes."
Zhang Lei frowned slightly. He was naturally aware of this. There must be a problem below, and he knew it better than Yang Xueli. There were thousands of desert army ants in the ruins of this small city, and these corpses were all eaten by the army ants.
In other words, there were probably tens of thousands of army ants in this tunnel.
It wasn't a possibility, but a certainty.
However, this was not the main point. Zhang Lei's main consideration now was whether the bloodline that had just been activated in his body could suppress these Desert Army Ants.
If they couldn't suppress it, they would definitely be finished.
"Why don't we give it a try? How would we know if we don't try?”
