Ye Haochu glanced around the room and knew that it was the room in the original novel. The house looked calm, but there were a large number of desert army ants hidden under the city. It was even more dangerous than the outside world. When those ants came out, it would probably only take a moment for them to chew a person into bones.
Fortunately, it was the time of the black sandstorm. Even the army ants would not come out at will, so he could sleep peacefully.
At this moment, Fatty shook off the sand on his body and let out a sigh of relief."We've finally gotten our lives back.”
Hu Bayi looked at the sandstorm outside and saw that it wasn't looking good. He turned to An Liman.
"Old man, can we survive the black sandstorm here?”
An Liman did not nod or shake his head. Instead, he said,""That will depend on Hu Da's decree.”
An Liman only had one meaning: it was all luck.
After saying that, An Liman knelt down and made another pilgrimage. In An Liman's opinion, only by praying could Hu Da leave alive. Legend had it that only the person Hu Da liked could return alive.
After paying his respects, An Liman assured them,"We are all devout believers blessed by God. From now on, we have to be like brothers. If there's any more danger, I won't abandon you and run for my life.”
An Liman's words made the others twitch. He had been running by himself previously. If it wasn't for the fact that the camels were his and they followed him, they might have gone to see Hu Da. It seemed that they had never taken him seriously. No wonder he ran first when something happened. He only called them after he ran away.
While they were talking, the sandstorm outside had already arrived. The strong wind howled and almost blew the roof off. Fortunately, the house was still sturdy and held on.
But even so, everyone could not help but worry. If the sandstorm blocked the exit of the house, wouldn't they be buried alive? It was nothing more than living a little longer.
Seeing that the sky had darkened, Hu Bayi ordered,""Fatty, bring Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu to get some firewood.”
"Alright, we'll go now!" After saying that, he led Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu out of the archeological team.
At this time, Ye Haochu looked at Yang Xueli and said,""What's wrong?"
"Yes, when I came in just now, sand got into my eyes.”
"Don't move. I'll take a look at you." After Ye Haochu finished speaking, he moved closer to Yang Xueli's face and observed her delicate face at a close distance.
Ye Haochu opened Xue Li Yang's eyes with his hand. There were three small grains of sand at the edge of her eyelids. At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly felt a hand on the back of her head. She subconsciously dodged but did not move at all.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Xue Li Yang finished speaking, she felt her eyes being blown by a warm breath. Before she could react, Ye Haochu had already left to take another look.
At this time, the sand in Yang Xueli's eyes was gone. Seeing this, Ye Haochu let go of Xue Li Yang and grabbed her hand, saying,""Just close it for a while. Don't rub it with your hands.”
At this time, Yang Xueli's heart was very complicated. This was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man other than her father. When she was abroad, she would at most shake hands, but now…
At this moment, the fire lit up. The light of the flames seemed to dispel the fear in their hearts. Everyone sat by the fire with all kinds of thoughts.
At this time, Yang Xueli said seriously,""When I came over just now, I found footprints in the corner of the wall. They seemed to be wolf footprints.”
"I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. When I went to get firewood just now, I saw a few yellow goats by the side of the wall.”
An Liman wasn't surprised. There was only one shelter here, and if they could come here, so could other animals.
"This place is specially prepared by God for the animals in the desert. You only saw a few yellow goats now, maybe there are sand wolves and sand leopards. Now, there was a sandstorm in the sky, and the animals on the ground were all frightened. Perhaps after the sandstorm passed, you would find the wolf and the sheep hiding in a house.”
Everyone panicked when they heard An Liman's words.
At this moment, Xiao Sa from the archeological team picked up the " firewood " on the ground to stir the flames, but he did not find anything different about the " firewood ".
"What's that in your hand, Xiao Sa?" Professor Hao asked.”
Xiao Sa subconsciously lowered his head and saw that he was holding a human bone in his hand!
"Ah! Human bones, the bones of the dead!" Xiao Sa immediately stood up and said in fear.
The sudden scream startled the few of them. Professor Hao scolded unhappily,"Xiao Sa, you're also an archaeologist. What's with being afraid of human bones?”
"I'm…I'm sorry, Professor Hao. I didn't expect there to be human bones here…I wasn't mentally prepared.”
At this moment, the others also looked at the spot where Xiao Sa had been standing. They cleaned up the sand slightly and Professor Hao picked up a leg bone.
At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly exclaimed," Professor Hao, these bones are a little strange."”
Hao Aiguo didn't understand what he meant.
"What's so strange about that?"
Was it strange? How was it strange? Professor Hao turned the bone over and looked at it carefully, but he still couldn't find anything strange.
"Look, the corpses in the desert don't rot. They usually dry naturally and won't turn into bones!”Hu Bayi explained.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Hu Bayi.
"But why isn't there any flesh on these bones?”Yang Xueli was puzzled.
"It's very possible. This person might have stopped here to avoid the storm and was later attacked by animals. So we have to take turns to keep watch. If we find anything, we have to tell everyone in time. Also, if the storm can pass, we have to evacuate as soon as possible.”Hu Bayi said.
Ye Haochu knew that this person must have been eaten by desert army ants. There was an ant nest below, but he didn't tell everyone because he didn't want to cause panic.
After dinner, it was already night. Although they had not slept for the entire night and had been on the move for the entire day, no one slept.
Although everyone understood the need to rest, there might be a lot of danger down there. Who could sleep?
Ye Haochu didn't care about them. He was sleeping soundly. Nothing is bigger than eating and sleeping!
"Old Ye, it's already been four hours."
Ye Haochu woke up and was stunned when he heard that four hours had passed. He had not slept for the entire day and night and almost did not wake up.
Ye Haochu got up and said to Fatty and the others,""Let's go pack up the supplies outside. When the wind subsides, we'll set off.”
Then, Ye Haochu, Fatty, and the others left.
When they returned, Ye Haochu saw what Professor Chen and the others were digging. His face darkened."What are you guys doing!"
At this moment, An Liman, who came in, also had a face full of fear.
"What are you doing? Don't move, don't move at all. What you're doing is offending the gods and will be punished.”
Hu Ba looked at the two of them and explained with a smile,""Aren't we thinking of leaving soon? It was not good to leave the skeleton here, so he wanted to shovel a few shovels of sand to bury the skeleton. Even if there really was something, he would have been able to run out immediately. Who knew that he would coincidentally dig up a black stone statue.”
At this moment, Ye Haochu's mouth twitched. You guys are really f * cking free. Forget it, these ants would come out sooner or later, and it was not because of the black stone.
"Xiao Ye, don't blame Xiao Hu. This is my suggestion. We were about to leave, so we wanted to bury the skeleton, so I asked Xiao Hu to bury him. "However, since we've discovered this black stone statue, we have no choice but to take a look. There might be new discoveries in the archaeological world.”Professor Chen said.
New discovery? We'll talk about it when you get out of here alive.
Ye Haochu glanced at Professor Chen and said in a deep voice,""Now, hurry up and leave."
Professor Hao, on the other hand, disagreed. Not only him, but even Professor Chen disagreed. It was not easy to find a stone statue with archaeological value. How could he just leave?
"Comrade Xiao Ye, don't be so anxious. Isn't there nothing wrong now? Let's take a few more photos and leave.”After saying that.
A giant ant emerged from the pit that Professor Chen and the others had dug underground.
"Why are these ants so big?" Fatty said.
"What's so scary about this ant?”Professor Hao said disapprovingly. He ran to the ant and stepped on it.
As soon as he stepped on one, thousands of ants immediately emerged from the pit and crawled all over Professor Hao's body in an instant.
" Ah, help, ah…" Professor Hao instantly turned into a pile of bones.
"Patriotic!" Professor Chen fainted.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and run. Fatty, carry Professor Chen on your back!”Ye Haochu said.
For a moment, everyone did not stop and quickly ran towards the cave entrance.
At this moment, a small sandbag behind Hu Bayi suddenly rose up. In just two to three breaths, it had already collapsed, and a group of ants ran towards them. Ye Haochu was already lying on the ground, but he didn't go far. He had to bring everyone out as far as he could.
The ants were red in color, and each of them was the size of a finger joint. How could they be ants? He was simply a killer.
With Ye Haochu's help, everyone came out one by one. Only Fatty Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli managed to crawl out of the hole with Ye Haochu's help. However, the four of them were still a step too late when they came out. The four of them were accidentally trapped on the roof.
At this moment, there were red ants all over the place. If he went down, he would only die.
At this moment, a wall suddenly collapsed, and a calf-like ant queen appeared.
Damn, is this an ant queen? Does it have to be so f * cking big??
