Tomb Robber: I am Hu Bayi’s cousin
Chapter 54 Desert Army Ants
"Professor, there is something here." Sadipeng shouted excitedly.
He was also unsure whether the stone statue had something to do with aliens, so he had to find an expert for help.
Got something?
Professor Chen, Chu Jian, Ye Yixin, and Yang Xueli looked at each other, nodded slightly, stood up, walked over, and looked at the stone statue carefully, but after looking for a long time, they couldn't find any clue.
"Comrade Xiao Hu, please clean the sand deeper. It's best to dig out all the stone statues."
This stone statue has archaeological value. Professor Chen's cloudy eyes lit up. He touched the head of the stone statue and the more he touched it, the more he couldn't put it down. He stepped back and waited for Hu Bayi to clean up the sand.
Soon, the stone statue revealed half of its body.
I saw the stone statue with its arms folded in front of the chest, looking straight into the distance, and dense words carved in front of the chest.
"Teacher, do the stone statues have something to do with aliens?" Sa Dipeng looked at Professor Chen expectantly, hoping to hear the clues he was pursuing.
But he was disappointed, "Xiao Sa, it is a good thing for young people to be active in thinking, but everything must be inferred and examined based on the basis of evidence. You cannot just speculate based on wild and unfounded ideas."
Although Sa Di Peng's thinking is a bit nonsense, Professor Chen will not be like his teacher Hao Aiguo who always scolds him with a sullen face.
Professor Chen smiled and enlightened him with gentle and instructive words.
Although Sa Di Peng was unwilling, he still learned the lesson.
"Comrade Xiao Hu, could you please help dig out all the stone statues and help us study the tail of this stone statue."
Looking at Professor Chen, Hu Bayi was a little puzzled, who do you call not good at digging, but you want me to do this hard work?
Dig it.
After clearing out a depth of half a meter, Hu Ba went down, scooped up the sand with an engineer shovel, and handed it to Chu Jian above to pour the sand farther away.
But what they didn't notice was that the sand on the side suddenly loosened.
"Uncle An Liman, don't sleep. They are looking for your incarnation as Hu Da."
Hu Ming gently pulled An Liman at this time. He had to pull the old man up to stop Professor Chen and the others. Otherwise, if they kept digging like this, everyone would have to answer here tonight.
As for why Hu Ming didn't stop him, it was because Hu Ming knew that his performance in the Kunlun Glacier and the black sandstorm made these people have opinions about him. Especially when the black sandstorm came, he dragged Professor Chen with a rope, causing These people had an even worse impression of Hu Ming.
But Hu Ming didn't care. Just these little experts who seek death, who knows how many of them will survive when they leave the desert.
Now Hu Ming didn't bother to warn him. Anyway, the professor probably wouldn't listen to what Hu Ming said. He might as well leave this task to An Liman.
"Oh, you can't do this. Hu will be angry. Stop it."
An Liman got up and went over to see a group of people digging for stone statues. He immediately became furious.
thump. He knelt down and kowtowed to the stone statue with a very pious attitude.
"Master Hu, please forgive me and don't anger me."
An Liman is a very feudal and superstitious person, but in the world of tomb robbing, people like him can live longer if they don't have special skills.
"Brother, we are doing archeology, this stone statue is not yours..." Professor Chen tried to persuade him, but he was helpless. He was in a loss of mood when An Liman made such a fuss.
"Leader Hu, come up here. Don't dig. Otherwise Hu will be angry and bury us in the desert." An Liman ignored Professor Chen and abducted Hu Bayi.
"No one can dig." Whoever dares to dig will have to fight with his life. The group of people had no choice but to sit by the fire.
"Teacher, what do you think that is?" Looking at the studious Ye Yixin, Professor Chen smiled slightly, "I guess this used to be a temple, enshrining the gods they believed in. As for what gods they are, this has to be done. After you have good information, go back and study it.”
"However, the eyes of this stone statue are very large and the corners of the eyes are narrow. I guess they carved their expectations on the stone statue, hoping that they would have eyes that could see farther and peek into the mysteries of the sky."
Sa Dipeng, Chu Jian, and Ye Yixin agreed with Professor Chen's words and nodded slightly.
As for Shirley Yang not being interested in this, she wanted to find Jingjue Ancient City quickly and solve the doubts in her heart.
At this time, Hu Ming still warned everyone: "Don't dig up these stone statues anymore, something might happen. The bones that Lao Hu just buried were not killed by ferocious beasts such as wolves."
Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Who killed that?"
"You just saw the bone. Did you notice that the bone was covered with small bite marks, which should have been insect bites." Hu Mingdao.
"Humph, this person was bitten by some insects after death!" Hao Aiguo said unhappily after hearing this. After death, creatures were bitten by flies, ants and other things, so he didn't care about Hu Ming's words.
It’s just that Professor Chen and Professor Hao felt that Hu Ming was looking for trouble and deliberately hindered their archeology. After all, their relationship was not very harmonious.
Hu Ming was a little helpless when he saw this, but said nothing more.
After a while, everyone took a rest except the three brothers Hu Ming. They planned to take turns to keep vigil.
…
The next day, the wind and sand had stopped.
Early in the morning, while An Liman went to feed the camels and Hu Bayi and the three brothers went to move supplies, Hao Aiguo and others could not resist the temptation and cleaned the stone head out of the sand.
I have to say that this statue is a bit weird, like a god, but it is also full of weirdness.
It is very different from the statues of gods in the Central Plains, more like the 'gods' in hell.
“The culture of the Western Regions is really profound and profound. We made the right decision to come to the desert for inspection this time.
"Hurry up and take pictures to record all of this."
"We must keep a record of a treasure like this."
Professor Chen stroked the stone statue lovingly like a child.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, Ye Yixin not far away screamed.
"Teacher, it seems that some bug bit my foot."
"Bugs, lots of bugs."
"Professor Chen, hurry up, there are so many bugs."
"It's desert army ants, get out of here quickly."
At this moment, countless little ants emerged from the head of the stone statue, like huge ants, and started to attack the people around them.
The speed was very fast, and before everyone could react, countless ants surrounded everyone.
Desert army ants are a relatively rare type of ant in the desert. Their bodies are rich in formic acid and can eat an elephant.
These people are simply not enough to look at in front of desert army ants.
No one expected that at this time, numerous desert army ants would erupt from the stone statue.
At this time, there is a good explanation for the skeleton that appeared last night. That person must have taken refuge here and was eaten by desert army ants.
"I told you not to touch Hu Da's envoy. If you insist, what happens now? Hu Da is angry."
An Liman, who had just come back, saw that the situation was not good and was the first to run away.
The rest of the people took their luggage and ran away.
Of course, there is no time to pick up some luggage at all. You only need to carry as much as you can.
"It's not like desert army ants, I feel like corpse ants. There must be an ant king among them."
At this time, Hu Bayi picked up the broken gun given by Director Wang and opened fire at the corpse ants.
The so-called corpse ant is a type of ant raised by ancient people on corpses to prevent tomb robbers from entering ancient tombs.
In other words, there may be ancient tombs near the ruins of this ancient city, so there are these corpse ants.
Regarding this kind of ant, his grandfather once talked about it when he was a child, so Hu Bayi remembered it very deeply.
Run, this is the most correct choice.
"Chili powder and sulfur both have a restraining effect on this kind of ant." Hu Ming said at this time and began to throw out sulfur and chili powder.
Sulfur, chili powder, and other things had been prepared long ago. They were originally intended to be used to deal with snakes and insects in the desert, but they didn't expect to come in handy so quickly.
Well, reptiles such as snakes and insects are very afraid of things like sulfur and realgar wine.
With the sulfur and other things opening the way, many corpse ants retreated one after another, making a way for them.
"Everyone, hurry up, sulfur and paprika won't last long."
Although the corpse ants are retreating, their ability to obey orders is definitely better than any other troops.
Bubbles of soil are constantly exploding in the sand dunes, and countless corpse ants will explode from them. There are a lot of them. They seemed to have accidentally arrived at the nest of corpse ants before.
Fatty Wang, Hao Aiguo and others were the first to bear the brunt. They broke out of the circle of zombie ants and chased An Liman in the distance.
Well, at the beginning, An Liman saw that the situation was not good and ran away immediately. It can be said that whoever encountered danger, An Liman would not be in danger.
He is a living map in the desert, and when he sees danger, he immediately runs away.
The ones who stayed behind were Hu Ming, Hu Bayi and Yang Shirley.
Although Yang Shirley is a woman, she has no fear at all when facing numerous corpse ants. She shoots at the swarms of ants with a pistol, and her marksmanship is not bad, and she can compete with the fat man. Down.
"No, the ant king has appeared. Concentrate your firepower on the ant king."
"What a big king ant. We accidentally broke into the nest of desert army ants."
Yang Xueli's voice was trembling, as if she had seen something terrible.
Hu Ming accelerated his escape and looked towards the sand dune behind him. He saw a huge ant standing on the sand dune. The ant was at least half a meter tall and was no different from a child.
There is such a large ant? It should be the king of this group of ants and the commander.
"We have to destroy this ant king, otherwise the desert army ants will keep tracking us."
At this time, Hu Bayi and others seemed to be surrounded by many ants. It was not difficult to get out. They still had a piece of sulfur and other things in their hands, but not long after they got out, they were overtaken by the ants.
With the ant king around, these corpse ants will not lose their way and will keep tracking.
Hu Ming took out a gasoline bottle at this time. Hu Ba looked at it one by one and then remembered that they bought a gasoline bottle before leaving, and then found one in his backpack.
However, the sand dune was still a bit far away among the three of them. At this time, Yang Shirley smiled at the two of them and threw a tear gas bomb, causing all the ants on the side to retreat immediately. Hu Bayi and the other three also covered their mouths and noses, and Hu Ming held Rush forward with three gas bottles and a grenade in the space.
When Hu Ming rushed to the queen ant thirty meters away, he threw it hard and hit the queen, but he was also surrounded by ants.
The queen ant was first blown away, and then her body burst into flames. However, before the ants at Hu Ming's feet could attack him, they all retreated to save the queen.
Seeing this, Hu Ming did not dare to delay and ran back directly.
