Tomb Robber: I am Hu Bayi’s cousin

Hu Ming burned the queen ant...

The numerous zombie ants seemed to have lost their leader. They all fell into a chaotic mess, retreating, and those who were encircling and suppressing were stunned by tear gas.

"Well done, Mingzi!" Hu Ba couldn't help but praise him when he saw Hu Ming coming back.

"Are you okay?" Yang Xueli showed rare concern for Hu Ming.

"I have no problem, let's go quickly, catch up with the large army, and use camels to get out of here as quickly as possible.

Now that the effect of tear gas is still there, desert army ants may not dare to cause trouble, but when the effect of tear gas wears off, they are likely to rush forward.

We really won’t be able to leave then. "

As he spoke, Hu Ming led Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli and ran quickly into the distance.

He ran as fast as he could. After running for about three or four minutes, he finally caught up with Professor Chen and the others.

At this time, Fatty Wang seemed to have a blood feud and was constantly cursing An Liman.

"Old man, why are you running? You can't wait for us."

"Do you want to run away alone again, leaving us still in this desert?" Fatty Wang was menacing, like a villain.

"What you're talking about is nonsense. Why would I stay where I am when I'm in danger?" An Liman explained.

"Stop arguing, everyone get on the camels and leave quickly." It was only then that everyone in the expedition team finally realized that Hu Ming and others were catching up.

"Mingzi, how's the situation?" Fatty Wang asked.

"Come on, I'll burn the queen ant, and maybe the desert army ants will catch up with me," Hu Ming said.

The rest of the people quickly mounted their horses, thinking of escaping far away.

After escaping for almost two hours, everyone finally escaped from the encirclement of desert army ants.

But at this time, everyone lost their way. They were just focused on escaping, but they didn't pay attention to the direction at all.

Also, in the process of running away, a lot of supplies were lost.

Moreover, because of previous waste by Professor Chen and others, drinking water is in short supply.

Fortunately, there was still water in Hu Ming's space, but Hu Ming did not dare to take out too much at once. He only took out three kilograms of water to let these people support it for a few days.

Hu Bayi and Fatty still had a lot of water on them, so Hu Ming didn't give it to them.

"Mingzi, actually those desert army ants just now don't look like normal ants to me, but rather like farmed corpse ants."

"There are records about corpse ants in ancient texts. Corpse ants are insects that guard tombs. They were bred for the purpose of protecting tombs.

"So I guess that there are ancient tombs in the ruins of the ancient city just now."

Recalling everything that had just happened, Hu Bayi spoke out his thoughts.

At this time, Hu Ming nodded and said: "Indeed, I just scattered a handful of glutinous rice on them, and black gas came out of them. If I guessed correctly, it should be corpse gas!"

"Corpse ants? Why do I feel like desert army ants? I have seen this kind of ant in foreign magazines. It looks similar. It has a very high formic acid content and can eat people. In Africa, this kind of ant can kill people. Eat people." Yang Shirley thought about her words and said.

"Maybe they are corpse ants cultivated from desert army ants." Hu Bayi frowned upon hearing this and sighed slightly.

"We should not worry about the ruins of the ancient city now. Even if there is a cemetery in the ruins of the ancient city, is there a way for us to get there? Let's find the direction and a way out quickly. In the process of running away just now, we lost a lot of money. There are a lot of water resources. If we don't find the water source in time, we will run out of water in less than a day." Hao Aiguo was a little frustrated.

In the desert, the most important material is water resources. If water resources are gone, life will be lost.

The three kilograms of water Hu Ming had just given were drank by Professor Chen and his disciples in less than two hours.

But Hu Ming didn't blame them too much.

After all, the deeper they go into the desert, the hotter it gets. It’s the hottest at noon, and walking on the desert is like walking in a steamer. So from the fourth day of going deep into the black desert, they chose to rest between nine o’clock and five o’clock in the afternoon.

The best time to travel is in the morning when it's dawn. A group of people ride camels and set off to the west. The desert scenery along the way is colorful, but no one thinks it's beautiful anymore.

Not only does everyone have separate water, but everyone drinks a fixed amount of water every day. If you want to drink more, I'm sorry, if you drink too much this time, you have to drink less next time. But in the desert, everyone has to drink at least three kilograms a day. Water, otherwise he will faint in the desert due to dehydration and die.

So even Hao Aiguo and Professor Chen lost their fighting spirit at the beginning.

It was noon, and the fiery red sun in the sky was pointing at the desert, baking it. You could see that the desert was on fire, with ripples of heat rising from the sand.

Totally hot.

"This hellish desert is so cold at night and so hot during the day. It's so boring. It's really not worth it to pay 20,000 US dollars to suffer this kind of thing without knowing whether you can get out alive."

The fat man didn't even smoke anymore. It was too hot. His lungs were on fire and he could even breathe freely. Why should he smoke? He sat under the sun tent, wiping his sweat with his cloak, wearing only half of his trousers and being shirtless. , but it was still hot and sweating profusely.

Everyone was sitting under the tent, wiping sweat, but Hu Mingming felt more relaxed. His physique was the best among these people, and he had the capital to resist the heat.

Of course, there is also the most important reason, and that is the "Marrow Cleansing Art". In this scorching hot state, the "Marrow Cleansing Art" in Hu Ming's body started to operate involuntarily, absorbing a large amount of heat to temper Hu Ming's body, causing His body also became stronger, and a trace of internal power was born in his body.

Everyone else was hiding in the tent. Only Hu Ming was sunbathing outside, enjoying the nourishment of the sun. At first, Hu Ming felt as if his body was being bitten by thousands of ants. Later, after getting used to it, he felt particularly comfortable. !

"Mingzi, our water bottles are all empty, not even a drop." Hu Bayi came over and sat next to Hu Ming, looking at him with envy.

Hu Bayi cursed in his heart: Damn, how come this pretty face is getting whiter and whiter under the scorching sun?

"Hey, Lao Hu, I still have water in my backpack, so I'll just order it. You go get it and share it with everyone. Save some water." Hu Ming looked at Hu Bayi and said slowly. His camel bag contained nine large bottles, all of which were filled with water.

But with just this little water, we could last at most a day and a half in the desert.

There were exactly nine people, and each of them could get a bottle. This was prepared by Hu Ming in advance when he saw that Hu Bayi and others had run out of water.
