"It's very possible." Hu Bayi nodded.

They had found traces of other animals around them before, such as gazelles, wolves and the like.

Zhang Jin said: "It shouldn't be a wolf or other large carnivore. You see, there are no traces of being gnawed by sharp teeth on the bones. How could a wolf eat all the meat on the bones without leaving any bite marks?"

."

Hao Aiguo looked carefully and found that it was indeed what he said: "Since it's not a wolf or other animal, what makes these bones so clean?"

"Desert marching ants." Zhang Jin looked at Shirley Yang, "Ms. Yang is a reporter for National Geographic magazine. She should know about this kind of dangerous ants."

Shirley Yang nodded and briefly told everyone about the horror of desert army ants, which immediately aroused everyone's nervousness.

"These desert army ants are so powerful, so where are they hiding? Will they suddenly come out and attack us while we are resting?" Ye Yixin looked around nervously.

"The ants must be underground, shouldn't they be under the sand?" Wang Kaixuan stamped his feet, "When you say that, I feel like it's not safe for us to hide here!"

Chu Jian said quickly: "Brother Wang, stop stamping your feet. If you attract those ants, you will be in trouble!"

"Everyone, please be patient and don't get into trouble." Hu Bayi quickly reassured everyone, "Zhang Jin, don't scare people all day long."

"I'm not trying to scare anyone, but don't worry, as long as you don't dig in, we will be safe," Zhang Jin said.

After being frightened, everyone had no other thoughts and ate hastily before lying down in their sleeping bags.

Zhang Jin volunteered to be the first night watchman, and his replacement was Hu Bayi.

Seeing that no one dug up any stone statues like in the plot, Zhang Jin lay down and slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, An Liman, who had gotten up early to look after the camels, brought good news to everyone. The strong wind and sand that had raged all night had stopped.

"Brother Zhang, it's just as you said, the sandstorm stopped today!" Ye Yixin said in surprise.

"It's so amazing!" Sa Di Peng exclaimed.

"If the wind stops, don't hurry up and leave! Don't forget, in addition to predicting that the wind will stop, he also said that there are desert army ants below!" Wang Kaixuan said loudly.

After being reminded like this, everyone did not dare to delay, quickly packed their equipment and luggage, left the dilapidated house and rushed towards the camel caravan behind the ruins of the ancient city wall.

Zhang Jin looked back at the dilapidated house. Without the trouble caused by the sudden desert army ants, the archaeological team would not have lost drinking water due to a hasty escape, nor would they have followed An Liman to the place where he had rescued in order to replenish drinking water.

His ruins will not be discovered, not to mention the tomb of Prince Gumo under the well. Instead, he will continue to search for the ancient city of Jingjue according to the established route.

I don’t know if things will develop in a good direction or in a bad direction after changing the plot in this way.

Just when Zhang Jin was deep in thought, suddenly Chu Jian next to him shouted: "Look! What's wrong with that camel? It seems to be panicked!"

Everyone looked for the sound and saw that a camel at the back of the camel team suddenly jumped up from its kneeling state, and several other camels next to it also got up and fled.

"The camel's legs seem to be covered with something!" Ye Yixin looked carefully.

Shirley Yang ran a few steps forward and took a closer look, and her face suddenly changed: "Oops! It's desert army ants!"

"No! Didn't Master Zhang say that we didn't dig out the sand in the house, so why did these ants still escape?" Wang Kaixuan was confused and depressed.

Shirley Yang said: "I guess the ruins of this ancient city are the territory of desert army ants. Whenever animals pass by, they will come out of the ground in groups and devour these creatures. We can't dig out the sand."

It doesn’t matter much!”

"What should we do now?" Hao Aiguo asked.

"A lot of animals took refuge here yesterday due to the strong wind and sand. Run away before the desert army ants completely surround us!" Shirley Yang said loudly, "Everyone, get on the camels quickly! It's too late if it's too late!"

When An Liman saw these man-eating ants rushing towards his beloved camels, he had already run away.

Wang Kaixuan quickly chased after him with a gun, while Hu Bayi and others helped Chen Jiuren escape from the ruins of the ancient city.

Zhang Jin watched the camels he bought trapped. In just a blink of an eye, the desert army ants emerging from the ground had already made them unable to escape. Almost every camel was quickly covered with ants.

"Zhang Jin, leave the camel alone and run!" Shirley Yang turned to him and shouted loudly.

It’s really not as good as God’s calculations!

Zhang Jin shook his head. Unexpectedly, he was eventually forced to flee in panic by these desert army ants, and also lost the camels and the supplies they carried.

It seems that I really want to go to the tomb of Prince Gumo.

The archaeological team mounted their camels and ran wildly, fearing that they would be overtaken by the desert army ants behind them and eat them into a pile of bones.

I don’t know how long I ran, but it wasn’t until everyone was exhausted that An Liman stopped to rest at Hu Bayi’s suggestion.

During the break, everyone took inventory of supplies and found that there was less than enough drinking water for a day.

An Liman also brought worse news to everyone. In order to avoid the black sandstorm and desert army ants, they had deviated from the original direction for a day or two. It would probably take three days to reach the next water replenishment point.

distance.

Everyone had a dispute about whether to kill the camels when there was a shortage of water. Finally, with Hu Bayi's mediation and persuasion, everyone decided to go back and return to the original route to seek a chance of survival.

"Hey, Master Zhang, you haven't spoken a word just now." Wang Kaixuan rode on the camel and looked at the silent Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin glanced at him. The reason why he didn't say much was because he could only follow the plot and there was no room or necessity for him to intervene.

Wang Kaixuan added: "How about you tell us all a fortune and see if we can find the water source."

Ye Yixin also nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Zhang, just give us a fortune!"

Sa Di Peng quickly stopped: "I think it's better not to forget it. What if the calculation comes out with bad results?"

The discussion of several people also attracted the attention of others.

Zhang Jin saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said: "Don't worry, everyone, we can find the water source. Uncle Anliman, do you still remember the place where the white camel saved your life last time? As long as you find it, you can find it."

Water source!”

An Liman turned around with a surprised expression on his face: "How did you know that I was rescued by a white camel back then?"

"It's all God's arrangement!" Zhang Jin replied imitating the other party's Xinjiang flavor.

An Liman said: "Even if what you said is true, I can't remember the place where the white camel saved me."

"Don't worry, God will not abandon us. Just follow your feelings and everything will be fine." Zhang Jin said.

In the plot, An Liman accidentally remembered it when the archaeological team was returning to the original route. Now that he has his own reminder, he should not miss it.
