Xu Lang quickly stopped him.
In a childish voice, she told him about the giant army ants that appeared beside the stone statue last night.
Professor Chen was a little hesitant.
Hao Aiguo, who was wearing glasses, didn't think much of it.
"Are you seeing things? Maybe it's a scorpion in the desert.”
"How can scientific research retreat because of a little danger? Even if there's danger, we have to face it head-on…"
Hao Aiguo became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.
The two male students, Sa Dipeng and Chu Jian, also agreed with Hao Aiguo.
After all, this was the first valuable antique that they had seen since entering the Black Desert. It was inevitable that they would be tempted. How could they not dig it out and take a look?
Moreover, the archeological team was made up of college students and scholars. They did not care much about the white camels.
She still treated Xu Lang as an ordinary child and did not take his words seriously.
Xu Lang shook his head and did not continue to stop him.
Humans were all like this. They would not give up until they saw danger with their own eyes.
At the same time, Xu Lang had his own selfish motives.
In the original world line, it was very likely that the desert army ants were mobilized after being disturbed by the excavation of these archaeologists.
If no one dug up the stone statue, they might miss the opportunity to kill the Mutated Army Ants, accumulate luck value, and become rich.
Xu Lang took a deep breath and silently took two steps back. At the same time, he paid full attention to the movements of the stone statue.
When everyone saw that Xu Lang no longer objected, they immediately began to dig.
In a short while, he had already dug below the waist of the stone statue.
There were indeed many strange symbols and words on the stone statue, which looked like the Ghost Cave language.
Just as the scholars and students were excitedly studying the symbols, Xu Lang felt a violent force similar to last night appear again.
However, the strength of this force was much stronger than last night.
The big one was coming!
"Quickly dodge, the ants are coming!"
Xu Lang shouted.
As soon as Xu Lang finished speaking, a big bump appeared beside the stone statue as if a plant was sprouting.
Then, the top of the big bag cracked, and countless palm-sized dark brown ants spewed out like a fountain.
Professor Chen, Hao Aiguo, and the others had never seen such a situation before. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they retreated.
In just a few seconds, the ants had already covered the ground around the stone statue.
An Liman walked in, intending to remind everyone to prepare to set off when the storm died down. When he saw the countless giant ants on the ground, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Fatty Wang and Old Hu also woke up. Seeing so many ants, they lifted their shovels and patted them.
In the end, even after a few shovels, not a single one was killed.
On the contrary, the shovel was corroded by the ants 'acid and emitted white smoke.
The two of them knew that it was dangerous and immediately covered the others and Xue Li Yang as they retreated out of the house.
Xu Lang had been watching this place for a long time. When he saw the ant army appear, he did not panic at all. He immediately kicked away the bonfire that everyone was brewing tea and preparing breakfast.
Then, he picked up a can of solid fuel from the ground.
This thing was specially brought from Country M by Shirley Yang. It was very suitable for use during wilderness adventures. A small piece could burn for a long time.
Xu Lang poured all the solid fuel into the bonfire. The flames instantly rose two to three feet high and immediately formed a wall of fire.
Just as Xu Lang heaved a sigh of relief, he realized that the Mutant Army Ants were not afraid of death. They were frantically charging towards the wall of fire, trying to extinguish it.
From time to time, he could hear the sound of the Mutated Army Ants being burned and exploding from the wall of fire.
System notifications kept ringing in Xu Lang's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for killing a mutated army ant. You have received 1 luck point.”
"Congratulations to the host for killing a mutated army ant. You have received a portion of army ant acid.”
……
However, after a few seconds, Xu Lang's expression turned solemn again.
The fire wall could not stop these army ants!
The ant fountain next to the black stone statue was still spewing out water. More and more ants were gathering in the room. In just a few minutes, these large ants would really be able to break through the fire wall and rush out.
Xu Lang made a prompt decision and threw an insect repellent smoke into the fire.
Suddenly, a thick white smoke rose from the fire.
The entire room was filled with thick smoke, and no one could be seen on the other side.
Xu Lang quickly crawled out of the room.
Insect repellent smoke could suppress and expel insects, and at the same time, it had a certain paralysis effect on insects.
The big ant's movements immediately slowed down.
For a moment, they were all burned to death by the fire wall.
Xu Lang had just heaved a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard a loud bang.
When they looked again, they saw a big hole in the corner of the house where they had been staying.
White smoke rushed out from the inside along with countless ants, swarming towards the group.
In an instant, all kinds of animals hiding in the corners of the ruins of the ancient city, such as sand wolves, yellow goats, gerbils, lizards, and so on, all came out and fled.
Many animals that were a step slower were drowned by the dark brown tide. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of bones without even a chance to struggle.
The ant tide was coming.
