"Aiguo, have we seen this kind of stone statue somewhere before?”Professor Chen put on his glasses.
"I've seen him before!"
"In XJ's Thousand Coffins Grave, there seems to be one that is exactly the same as his." Its eyes were unusually large, unlike ordinary people.”
Professor Chen looked at it carefully with a flashlight and finally gave the answer." Comrade Xiaojiang is right. This should be the giant pupil stone statue.”
"However, the origins of these stone statues are different in the archeological world. Some scholars have suggested that they are some kind of god worshipped by the Mongols, while others say that they were left behind by the ancient Turks.”
"Stop digging." Jiang Han also stopped them.
Everyone was stunned.
Jiang Han knocked on the eyeball of the stone statue, and a red ant the size of a finger crawled out.
"What new species is this?" Fatty exclaimed,
"Are you stupid?" Old Hu asked. You haven't even seen this before. You're like an ant!"
"How many nutrients did such a big ant eat?”
After seeing this ant, everyone started to talk.
"These aren't ordinary ants. They're desert army ants.”
Xue Li Yang frowned and said," These ants usually only appear in the desert. They are extremely aggressive and can instantly chew people into bones."”
Jiang Han also nodded." If I'm not wrong, those human bones that I saw just now should have been gnawed to death by the desert army.”
" I've read about army ants in books. There are indeed ants that form groups and move through the desert. They are not afraid of anything. Wherever they go, there will be bones everywhere.”
Seeing this, Professor Chen stopped the people in the shed from digging.
Fatty was completely dumbfounded when he heard their explanation.
"It seems like we're with a group of monsters again?!”Fatty said.
They had just passed the Fire Ladybug Festival, and now, there was an army ant…
Was he going to let her live?
"I estimate that there is a giant army ant nest under the sand now.”Jiang Han said," But don't panic, everyone. These army ants should have come here to avoid the black sandstorm. They won't pose any danger to us for the time being. When the black sandstorm passes, we'll leave this place quickly."”
Jiang Han's tone was very calm as if he was telling a story.
Even though he was already living on the army ant tide's nest, Jiang Han didn't feel any sense of danger.
"Therefore, if you want to sleep peacefully, you need at least two people to keep watch at night, and you can't be lazy.”
After eating a little, it was already night time. Everyone could only rest and sleep on the spot.
However, when they thought of the huge ant nest underground, many people felt as if they were stuck on their backs and found it difficult to fall asleep.
At night, everyone took turns to keep watch. Jiang Han and Xue Liyang were assigned to the same room.
"Thank you for today." Xue Li Yang had a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity with Jiang Han, so he expressed his gratitude to Jiang Han.
"It's alright."
Jiang Han smiled. He knew that Xue Liyang was referring to the time he helped her blow her eyes.
However, Jiang Han felt that it was unnecessary.
Outside the cave, the wind and sand were howling. Everyone inside tossed and turned. Jiang Han and Xue Liyang started to chat with each other under the light of the fire.
Although he didn't hesitate to talk, Xue Li Yang was the one who talked a lot, so Jiang Han acted as a listener.
"Are you very puzzled as to why I've always been obsessed with the Ancient City of Jingjue?”
Xue Li Yang said," I know that your background is extraordinary. However, I am not looking for Jingjue Ancient City just to follow in my father's footsteps as you think. I am also not just looking for my clansmen."”
Jiang Han didn't interrupt because he knew Xue Liyang wanted to say what was in his heart.
Xue Li Yang was a descendant of the Mountain-moving Sect. All of his ancestors had been cursed and would not live past the age of 50.
However, Xue Li Yang's purpose for this trip was not only to break the curse of his clansmen, but also to keep a secret in his heart.
"Ever since my father disappeared, I have the same dream almost every night.”
" I would dream of a large, pitch-black hole with a coffin hanging in it. It was carved with Ghost Cave Script, and there was a huge thing lying on top of the coffin, but I couldn't see what it was. Every time I tried to see clearly, I woke up from the dream.”
"For the past six months, I have been dreaming of the same scene. I firmly believe that this is a dream my father gave me.”
"Maybe the one in the coffin is you.”
Seeing Xue Liyang's low spirits, Jiang Han smiled casually.
Xue Li Yang also smiled, thinking that this joke was quite interesting.
At this moment, Fatty suddenly could not help but laugh.
Xue Li Yang knew that she was being eavesdropped on, so she ran back to her sleeping bag to sleep.
Jiang Han walked over and kicked Fatty awake, signaling for him to keep watch.
"Old Jiang, you're so charming. This American girl must like you.”"However, we can't let Yingzi down. Besides, Little Ye will be sad too."”
"Get lost."
Jiang Han cursed Fatty, turned around, and went back to sleep in his sleeping bag.
。。。。。。
A night passed.
When he woke up the next day, Jiang Han looked at the cave entrance. The sky was clear and there was no wind at all.
It was calm and peaceful!
This black sandstorm did not last long.
Everyone woke up and saw that the outside was safe and sound. They were all happy.
"We've survived this black sandstorm. Pack up and prepare to set off!”Jiang Han instructed everyone.
However, just as he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from the stone kiln.
Looking closely, an ant the size of a thumb crawled out of the stone statue's eye!
One, two!
Immediately after, countless army ants appeared on the ground as well.
Ding-dong…The host has encountered an army of ants. Side mission: Kill the army ants, capture the army ant queen alive
