"Thump, thump, thump."
Suddenly, just as the archeological team was about to rest, there seemed to be a real sound coming from the yellow sand in the distance.
"Old Ding, there seems to be something moving in the yellow sand.”
Xue Li Yang fixed her gaze on a corner of the house. She stood up slightly and walked in that direction.
Although the noise was not very loud, it was very clear.
It wasn't just Xue Li Yang who heard it. Many members heard it as well.
"It should be some small insects."
Hao Aiguo thought that it was normal for snakes and bugs to appear in the desert.
"Let's go and look for it. If it's a snake, there are more poisonous snakes in the desert. If we're bitten, we won't be able to survive.”
Xue Li Yang was very far-sighted and quickly walked up to the source of the noise.
He dug into the sand with his hands and found that there was a hard rock under the sand.
"There seems to be something here."
Xue Li Yang said.
Professor Chen, Hao Aiguo, and the others all stood up and walked over.
Under everyone's reasonable excavation, it did not take long for a huge stone statue head to be cleared out.
It was like the stone lion in front of the door, but it was a stone statue.
The body buried under the yellow sand should be very big.
"It's a stone statue from the ruins of an ancient city. It has a lot of archaeological value. Let's excavate this stone statue first.”
Professor Chen's eyes shone with excitement.
After entering the Black Desert for a few days, they finally encountered something of archaeological value. How could they miss it?
"Xiao Sa, you guys keep a good record.”
Professor Chen was eager to try.
However, at this moment, An Liman, who had heard the commotion, quickly walked forward. With a plop, he walked to the front of the stone statue's head and knelt down.
"You can't dig. This is Hu Da's messenger. You can't disturb his statue.”
"If you alert Great Emissary Hu, Great Emissary Hu will be furious.”
An Liman advised.
Hu Da was the true god of the desert, just like the god of the west. In the desert, Hu Da was the highest true god.
When Hu Da was angry, people would die. An Liman, who had been walking in the desert all year round, was full of respect for the desert. Therefore, he would definitely not do anything to anger Hu Da.
"Big brother, what are you doing? We're helping Hu Da's envoy clean up the dust.”
Professor Chen said in disappointment.
"No, you must not alert Hu Da's messenger.”
An Liman insisted on obtaining the Dao.
"Forget it, I think everyone should rest first and talk about it tomorrow.”
After a tiring day, Ding Jie wasn't interested in the ancient city ruins. What he was most interested in was going to Jingjue Ancient City, so he didn't want to complicate things.
"Alright then."
Professor Chen and the others could only nod.
```
```
The next day.
Early in the morning, Hao Aiguo and the others couldn't resist the temptation and swept the stone head out of the sand while An Liman went to feed the camels.
It had to be said that this statue was a little strange. It was like a god, but it was also full of strangeness.
They were very different from the statues in the Central Plains. They were more like the immortals in hell.
"The culture of the Western Regions is really profound. We made the right choice to come to the desert this time.”
"Hurry up and take pictures. Record all of this.”
"We must keep a good record of such a treasure.”
Professor Chen caressed the stone statue lovingly as if he was stroking a child.
"Aiya."
Suddenly, Yixin Ye, who was not far away, let out a blood-curdling scream.
"Teacher, there seems to be a bug that bit my foot.”
"Bugs, so many bugs."
"Professor Chen, hurry up. There are so many bugs.”
"It's desert army ants. Leave this room quickly.”
At this moment, countless ants crawled out of the stone statue's head. They were like huge ants that surrounded the surrounding people.
It was very fast. Before everyone could react, countless ants surrounded them.
Desert army ants were a rare species of ants in the desert. Their bodies were rich in formazan and could eat an elephant.
In front of the Desert Army Ants, they were nothing.
No one expected that at this time, the stone statue would spew out so many Desert Army Ants.
There was a good explanation for the skeleton that appeared last night. That person must have taken refuge here and been eaten by the Desert Army Ants.
"I told you not to touch Hu Da's envoy, but you insisted. What happened now?”
An Liman, who had just returned, saw that the situation was not good and was the first to run away.
The rest of the people took their luggage and ran away.
Of course, there was no time to take some of the luggage, so they took as much as they could.
"They don't look like desert army ants. Why do I feel like they look like corpse ants? There must be an ant king among them."
At this moment, Ding Jie picked up her gun and opened fire at these corpse ants.
The so-called corpse ants were a type of ants raised by ancient people using corpses to prevent grave robbers from entering ancient tombs.
In other words, there might be an ancient tomb near the ancient city ruins, which was why there were these corpse ants.
Her grandfather had told her about these ants when she was young, so Ding Jie had a deep memory of them.
Running was the best choice.
"Chili powder and sulfur are effective against these ants.”
Ding Jie began to throw sulfur and chili powder as she fired.
