"Giant pupil stone statue?"
"Professor Chen, is this giant pupil stone statue very rare?”
" Yes." Professor Chen nodded and explained," We've found these stone statues in ancient tombs in the Tianshan Mountains, Altay, and Hetian River basins in the Western Regions, as well as in the grasslands.”
"Some people believe that this is an ancient god that the people of the steppe believe in, while others believe that it was left behind by the ancient Turks.”
Hearing Professor Chen's words, the few of them became even more curious.
A stone statue that only existed in ancient tombs in the Western Regions?
Didn't that mean that the house they had unintentionally taken refuge in was actually very likely a mausoleum?!
"Professor, why don't we dig up all the stone statues and carry out the next step of our research?”Lin Ze rubbed his fists and said impatiently.
To them, there was nothing more attractive than discovering the mausoleum.
"Alright, alright!" Professor Chen nodded." Let's dig it out first. But be careful not to damage the stone statues. These are priceless treasures!"”
"Understood!"
Lin Ze and Lin Hong looked at each other and began to pick up the tools to dig at the stone statue.
At this moment, An Liman noticed the situation and his expression changed drastically." What are you guys doing?!"
An Liman shouted and rushed over to push Lin Hong and Lin Ze away. He stood in front of the stone statue and said," Please forgive me, Big Hu. You can't dig up this stone statue. Everything in this desert is Big Hu's gift. If you do this, you will anger Big Hu and he will punish you!"”
"Tsk!" Lin Ze smiled disdainfully and said nonchalantly,"I say, Uncle Andrew, what era are we in? Why do you still have such feudal and superstitious thoughts?”
"We dug up this stone statue for archaeological research and to save and protect it. If it's really as big as Hu Da, then he should be thanking us!”
After saying that, Lin Ze stepped forward and pulled An Liman away. He looked at the others and said,"Professor, don't worry about An Liman. Hurry up and dig out the stone statue. I still want to make more records!”
"You... You guys!" Seeing that the archeological team was still doing their own thing, An Liman's heart was filled with anger."Alright, alright, alright. You guys don't listen to me. Dig!”
"Hu Dahui will punish you, Hu Dahui will punish you.”
An Liman had already treated the archeological team as lunatics who did not care about their lives. In his opinion, if he continued to stay here with them, the consequences would be worse than encountering a black sandstorm.
"Since you want to die, then stay here and fend for yourself. I won't continue walking with you!”
After saying that, An Liman turned around and left.
Not far away.
Jiang Chen, Xue Li Yang, and the others were cooking vegetable soup. When they saw An Liman suddenly leave while cursing and saying that he wanted to walk back, they immediately frowned.
"Fatty, go and stop An Liman. Don't let him leave. I'll go and see what they're doing.”
"Good!"
Fatty replied, stood up, and chased after him.
At the same time, on the archeological team's side.
"Xiaoling, work harder. This stone statue is about to be dug out. At that time, we will definitely leave a deep mark on the study of the ancient culture of the Western Regions!”Lin Ze said excitedly.
"Yes." Huo Xiaoling nodded and looked at the statue with a strange look in her eyes.
The few of them dug out layer after layer of sand.
In a short while, more than half of the giant pupil stone statue's body had been dug out, and its full appearance was about to be revealed.
"Stop!" At this moment, Jiang Chen walked over. When he saw the giant pupil statue in the sandpit, his face instantly sank as he shouted,""Hurry up and come up. This stone statue can't be dug anymore!”
He hadn't paid much attention when he saw the archeological team run off to study human bones.
He did not expect that he would actually dig out the giant pupil stone statue in a moment of carelessness!
Wasn't he just rushing to his own death?
"Comrade Xiaojiang, what are you…?”Professor Chen looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression as if he didn't quite understand Jiang Chen's obstruction. Did Jiang Chen believe in the so-called divine punishment like An Liman?
Jiang Chen looked at them coldly and said,""If you guys continue digging, I'm afraid you'll all die here before the black sandstorm passes.”
"If you don't want to kill everyone, quickly bury this stone statue back!”
"Comrade Xiaojiang!" Professor Chen frowned and asked in confusion,"We've excavated this stone statue before, but we haven't encountered any danger.”
" Moreover, this is an extremely important advancement for our research on the ancient culture of the Western Regions. If we give up just like that…"
"Haha." Jiang Chen sneered." It didn't exist before, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist here!"”
"In short, I only have one sentence. If you want to survive the black sandstorm, don't touch this thing anymore!”
"To be precise, stop digging!”
"Otherwise, I won't risk my life to save you if I disturb the things below.”
The things below?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Leader Jiang, could it be that there's a dangerous creature hiding under this stone statue?”Lin Hong stopped what he was doing and asked hurriedly.
"Brother, don't listen to his alarmist talk!”Lin Ze patted the sand with his shovel and said indifferently,""What can be hidden under this sand? Could it be…It's a rattlesnake, haha!"
In his opinion, Jiang Chen was deliberately targeting him. Seeing him dig up such a precious cultural relic, he deliberately disagreed!
"Rattlesnake? Not really." Jiang Chen shook his head and looked at Lin Ze like he was an idiot.""However, there is a large group of Desert Army Ants hiding under this giant pupil stone statue!”
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. When the ant colony is alarmed, it will be too late to stop.”
Everyone was stunned by Jiang Chen's words.
Desert army ants?
What was that?
"Tsk!" Lin Ze smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically,"Leader Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so timid. You're even afraid of a group of ants!”
"Isn't it just some desert army ant? As long as they dare to come out, I'll kill them all!”
However, just as he finished speaking.
Huo Xiaoling suddenly said,""Lin Ze, I advise you to listen to Leader Jiang.”
"If we really provoke the desert army ants, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
