The stone statue had been washed away by time and had become dark. However, it was very smooth, as if it had been waxed.
Professor Hao and the others couldn't put it down and touched the stone statue. The feeling in their hands was cold and smooth.
The stone pupils were very large, the corners of his eyes were long, and his face was like an evil god. Its entire upper body was engraved with a kind of word-like symbol, but the few of them did not recognize it.
"Why don't we ask Chief Qing to identify it?"
"Little Sa, you're stupid. You know Bluefire's temper. Once he finds out that we've dug out the stone statue, won't he get angry with us?”Professor Hao was a little afraid when Bluefire was mentioned.
"Professor Chen, Bluefire won't be happy if you do this.”
Xue Li Yang woke up and walked over to take a look. Seeing that the stone statue was very strange, she had a bad feeling. However, curiosity would follow everyone. She didn't resist and just watched quietly.
"Miss Yang, this is a stone statue with archaeological value. As archaeologists, we naturally won't let it go.
Professor Chen explained and personally took the camera from Sa Dipeng's hand. He carefully took a photo of the stone statue.
"Teacher, let's keep digging until we get the stone statue out.”
Chu Jian suggested. He also wanted to see how big the stone statue was and what ancient characters were buried underground.
"Good!"
The sand wasn't as tough as the yellow soil. It was layer after layer and soft. In just ten minutes, they had dug a few meters deep pit here. At some point, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang woke up and came over to take a look curiously.
In fact, the two of them even helped.
They also wanted to know if there were any treasures down there.
Due to the fact that there was a distance of ten meters between them and the sound of the sandstorm was not as loud as the sound of the sandstorm outside, Bluefire and An Liman did not wake up. The two of them were still sleeping soundly.
"Professor Chen, you have a lot of experience. What do you think this stone looks like?‘
Fatty's face was full of curiosity. He wondered if this thing was worth anything. Even if it was valuable, he couldn't take it away.
"According to my many years of archeological experience, this is a god worshipped by the ancient Turks. The ancients judged fortune and misfortune according to the stars. They hoped that their eyes could see far. Therefore, the corners of this stone statue's eyes were very long and its pupils were very big.“
Professor Chen speculated.
Sa Dipeng was the first to not believe such an unconvincing speculation.
" Professor," he said," in my opinion, this is an alien. The technology at that time was backward, so the ancients worshipped aliens as gods. The words on the stone are definitely an alien language…"
Professor Hao raised his hand and patted Sa Dipeng. He lectured,"Xiao Sa, we archaeologists have to be realistic. Don't talk about aliens. You come out of the pit and I'll go down.”
Professor Hao jumped into the pit and shoveled a few times.
Kacha!
There was an object below, and it was pried up by him with a shovel. Instantly, everyone's gaze was attracted.
This tile-like thing had been buried by the sand for too long. Its color had faded and it had become as yellow as the sand. Professor Hao threw the shovel away, took off his gloves, squatted down, picked it up, and blew on it.
Look carefully, this is a tile.
It should be yellow tiles from ancient times. They were shaped with mud and then fired in a fire kiln.
"Teacher, take a look.”
Professor Hao threw the tile up and it flew out. Professor Chen caught it and ordered,"Aiguo, be careful. If anything goes wrong, retreat immediately.”
"Teacher, you must have been scared out of your wits by Bluefire. He's spouting nonsense. It was fine. There was no danger at all.”Professor Hao smiled. He was the only one in the sandpit, so it was very easy to operate.
He continued to squat down. This time, he didn't use the engineer shovel to shovel the sand.
He was worried that there were antiques below and that using the shovel would destroy them. If that happened, he would be a sinner. He reached his hand into the sand and felt around. Suddenly, he felt a pain at his fingertip.
This pain only lasted for a moment. He thought it was an illusion, so he didn't care and continued to feel around.
Hmm? Professor Hao frowned. He suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart. His hand…seemed to be numb, as if his hand was no longer his. He began to panic.
Swoosh ~
When he stood up abruptly, he pulled his hand out of the sand. With the help of Ye Yixin, Sa Dipeng, and the others 'lights, his eyes widened and his face turned pale.
" Ah! My hand! My hand!"
Professor Hao let out a scream as if he had been cut into pieces by a thousand knives. Then, the sand around the sand pit suddenly protruded and surged forward like a spring.
Pa ~
Pa, pa, pa ~
One bump after another exploded, and a dense number of golden ants jumped out. Each of them was only three to four centimeters long. In an instant, the sandpit was filled with ants.
"Ah…Save me, save me…"
Professor Hao frantically crawled out of the sandpit, but Hu Ba quickly pulled him up!
"Wow, Mani, it's too scary, too scary.”
Fatty Wang kept retreating, cold sweat forming on his forehead. Not only him, but everyone else was also covered in cold sweat.
whew ~
The sound of something moving came from the sand. In a few seconds, bumps appeared on the sand. Then, they exploded. The densely packed ants were organized and disciplined as they bit towards Xue Li Yang and the others.
Pa, pa, pa!
The sand was still exploding, and the number of ants was increasing at a terrifying rate. As far as the eye could see, the ground was filled with ants.
"Ah!"
Ye Yixin only felt the soles of her feet being nudged by something. She was still in shock as she took a few steps back. Pa, the sand bulged out and then exploded. It was golden ants again.
"It's…it's…desert army ants!”
Xue Li Yang's face was filled with panic. There really were such terrifying ants here.
"Master Qing, help, help!"
Fatty was crying. He felt as if he had lost some feeling in his feet. Could it be that he was going to die? He ran towards Bluefire, but after running a few steps, he was forced back by the dense swarm of ants.
"Fight, quickly fight."
Pa, pa, pa!
Huba raised his shovel and slammed it down. The more he hit, the more terrified he became. He seemed to have been bitten!!
