Under the ancient city that was almost buried by the sandstorm.
"You scared me to death. Fortunately, Old Qin was right. There really is an ancient city here!”
"I've checked this place. It's very safe.”
Fatty heaved a sigh of relief.
Hu Bayi poured cold water on the situation." I don't think so. This house looks dilapidated. I don't know how long the black sandstorm will last. We might be buried alive here."”
"Don't worry, it won't be that bad."
Qin Feng carried Ye Yixin down from the entrance. He naturally knew that he was fine.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Hu Bayi finally relaxed a little.
"Old Qin, is Little Ye alright?"
Hu Ba asked.
"I'm fine. I just ran too fast and my body couldn't take it. Coupled with dehydration, I temporarily fainted.”
Qin Feng put her down and slowly fed her some water. Then, he smeared some salt on Ye Yixin's cracked lips.
Dehydrating meant that the human body would also lack salt. Therefore, salt was essential in the desert.
Ye Yixin only regained consciousness after he was done with all this. He slowly opened his eyes, but he was still very weak. He did not even have the strength to speak.
"Thank you, Brother Qin!"
She looked at Qin Feng as her lips moved slightly as she muttered with difficulty.
"It's okay. Have a good rest.”As he said that, Qin Feng looked at Hu Ba." Old Hu, before the sandstorm completely covers you, go out and pick up some firewood to start a fire.”
"Good!"
As soon as Hu Ba said that, he covered his face with a cloth and went out to collect firewood.
Qin Feng then looked at the Sa Di Peng Chu sword and said,"You guys go and help too. Also, move all the luggage and equipment in. Otherwise, they might be blown away by the wind and sand!”
"Alright, Brother Qin!"
"No problem, leave it to us!"
The two of them responded and quickly went out to carry the luggage.
"Fatty, check if there's anything else around here!”As Qin Feng spoke, he reminded," Be careful, because we're not the only ones who need to avoid the sandstorm. There might be wolves as well!”
"Alright, don't worry. I have a weapon. If I encounter a wolf, I'll shoot it. Slaughtering it will improve my diet tonight!”
Fatty raised his gun and began to investigate.
Qin Feng was very clear that the plot was just a plot. However, this was the real world.
Although they had encountered army ants in the original plot, there was no guarantee that there were no wolves hiding in the dark to avoid the sandstorm.
Fortunately, Fatty did not find any danger after checking around.
Qin Feng knows that the danger is hidden under the sand and should not come out now.
However, once the black sandstorm passed, they had to leave immediately. The Desert Army Ants were not as easy to deal with as the Fire Ladybugs.
Moreover, the number of desert army ants was hard to estimate. They could even use hunting methods such as diversion and encirclement!
"Are you alright?"
At this moment, Qin Feng turned to Xue Li Yang who was sitting at the side.
She seemed to have been sitting there ever since she came in. Her eyes were closed and she kept rubbing them.
"I'm fine. There's sand in my eyes.”
Xue Li Yang seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable as she prepared to rub her eyes again.
"Don't move." Qin Feng stepped forward and grabbed her hand." Don't you know that you can't rub your eyes with your hands when sand enters them? The more you rub, the more uncomfortable it feels."”
"I'll do it."
As Qin Feng spoke, he released his hand and reached out to Xue Li Yang's face.
"Don't dodge!"
Xue Li Yang instinctively wanted to dodge but was stopped by Qin Feng. She stopped and no longer dodged.
Qin Feng stretched out his hand and touched her snow-smooth face.
This was the first time they had such close contact, and Xue Li Yang couldn't help but tremble.
Qin Feng noticed it but he ignored it. He stretched out his other hand and opened her eyelids.
"Phew!"
Qin Feng heavily blew out a breath." Alright, try blinking again."”
Xue Li Yang blinked her eyes. As expected, her eyes did not hurt anymore.
"Thank you."
Qin Feng only said,"Remember, don't rub your eyes when sand enters them in the future."”
"Yes." Xue Li Yang nodded her head, but she really remembered Qin Feng's words in her heart.
Xue Li Yang had been looking at Qin Feng since she entered.
Previously, she had only thought that he had a mysterious identity, good skills, and a lot of knowledge. His personality was cold and aloof, but sometimes he was a little frivolous.
And now, he was showing his gentle and attentive side, and he had become the backbone of the entire team.
This man's charm was growing.
.......
Soon, the luggage and other important items were moved in.
A lot of dead wood was brought in as well. Hu Ba and the others started a fire.
Ye Yixin was also feeling much better and was fine.
This was because they had already encountered such a terrifying black sandstorm before reaching their destination. They did not know what dangers they would encounter in the future.
Moreover, the desert was far more difficult than the Kunlun Glacier.
"Old Qin, I've checked carefully. Other than us, there are only some animal skeletons. They look like yellow goats or wolves. There are no other living things.”
Fatty said after checking.
Qin Feng only nodded his head and looked around. From time to time, he would look at the beam.
His senses were much sharper than the others. He could hear the rustling sounds coming from the beams, which were covered by the whistling of the wind and sand outside.
It was the noise caused by the Desert Army Ants.
The others did not notice.
"Animal bones! How could there be so many corpses here!”
When Chu Jian was cleaning up the sand, he also discovered that there were many skeletons buried under the yellow sand.
"Isn't it just a skeleton? It's not human. What's there to be surprised about?”Fatty said and called out," Come, let's clean up these bones together. We'll dig a hole and bury them all. Out of sight, out of mind."”
Chu Jian quickly took out a shovel and began to dig.
"Ka! Kaka!"
Suddenly, after digging a few times, the shovel seemed to have dug into something and could not continue digging.
"What's wrong?" Fatty asked.
"There's something, there's something down here!”
Chu Jian shouted and began to carefully dig up the sand. A stone block appeared.
"Professor, come quickly, there's something here!”
Soon, a group of people surrounded them and began to excavate.
Fatty was also excited. Could it be that he was so lucky to have dug up a treasure?
"It's a stone statue!"
"Such big eyes, what kind of person looks like this!”
"It looks like a stone statue that was worshipped in something in ancient times.”
"This should be a giant pupil stone statue. I've seen something similar when I was archeologists in the western border," explained Professor Chen.”
"This is very valuable for research. Chu Jian, continue digging!”
"Yes, Professor!" Chu Jian nodded and was about to continue digging.
"We can't continue digging!"
Qin Feng finally stopped him.
Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw something in the stone statue's eyes.
An ant the size of a human's pinky crawled past!
