Tomb Raiders: After living in seclusion for a hundred years, my little brother invited me out!

Chapter 58 Desert Marching Ant Nest

"Mr. Zhang, when will this black sandstorm stop?"

At this time Shirley Yang came over and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yang pretended to be careless, turned around and walked towards the crowd, saying:

"And it will last all night."

"All night? Aren't we going to stay here all night?"

Shirley Yang looked a little surprised.

However, his eyes fell on the position that Zhang Yang stepped on just now, and there were still a few obvious footprints on it.

"Isn't it? Mr. Zhang, you said that if we sleep here and wake up tomorrow morning, will we be buried alive by the sand?"

Wang Kaixuan spoke weakly.

He was just looking for money, and he didn't want to risk his own life.

Immediately, Xuan Ye tensed up on the others.

"Fatty, how do you talk?"

Hu Bayi reached out and patted Wang Kaixuan on the back of the head.

"Aren't I worried about everyone's safety?"

Wang Kaixuan spoke with a half-smile.

"Don't worry, it's safe here, everyone should have a good rest today."

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, everyone immediately relaxed.

They are ready to find a place to rest, this tossing is really exhausting.

"Ah, there are dead bones."

Suddenly Ye Yixin yelled as fast as possible.

Because he was anxious, he bumped into the master beside him, and Xisha crashed and fell down continuously.

"Yixin, what's the matter with you? Isn't it just dead bones? Is there such a big reaction?"

Chu Jian on the side couldn't help but tease.

"No, there are too many here."

Ye Yixin spoke in a trembling voice.

Everyone walked over quickly, and they saw the bones all over the ground, most of which were buried under the fine sand, and only the top part was exposed.

"How did these bones get eaten so clean?"

Shirley Yang couldn't help but speak.

Zhang Yang didn't want everyone to know about the desert army ants, for fear that they would be afraid.

Otherwise, they will not sleep well that night.

Then he said:

"These are the bones of people who have been dead for many years. They have already weathered. Don't worry about it. Let's rest early."

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, everyone didn't care.

After all, it is quite normal to encounter some dead bones in the desert.

Because these have long been commonplace.

After taking Zhang Yang's reassurance pill, everyone quickly found their seats, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Soon, most of them were asleep.

At this time only Zhang Yang, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang were still awake.

Zhang Yang glanced at the three of them, knowing that they were probably waiting for him to speak.

He pointed to a corner not far away and said:

"There is a stone statue with giant pupils there. You dig it out, and there is an underground palace underneath. We can go down and have a look first."

Hearing what Zhang Yang said, the three of them got up quickly and walked towards the corner quickly.

Sure enough, soon they dug out a huge head of a black stone statue.

"Hey, there is really a huge stone statue."

Wang Kaixuan exclaimed.

"Shut up, fat man."

Hu Bayi scolded in a low voice, implying that he should not wake up others.

Wang Kaixuan shut up for a moment.

Zhang Yang looked at the stone statue with huge pupils, its eyes were like olives, and there was no crown on its head, just a simple bun, with a calm expression, a bit like a statue enshrined in a temple.

"Mr. Zhang, is this what you just called the 'giant pupil stone statue'?"

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously.

"good."

Zhang Yang nodded.

"This, is this a statue?"

Hu Ba spoke in a small voice.

Zhang Yang opened his mouth and explained:

"It's some deity worshiped by the Mongols.

According to historical records, it is said that Kublai Khan had a secret palace in the desert of the Western Regions, called "Shang Palace". The earliest statues of this kind of stone man were enshrined in the Shang Palace. "

"It's really scary. With such a big head, I'm not afraid of being scared to death at night."

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help teasing in a low voice.

"Fatty, what are you talking about?"

Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan.

"Dig it out."

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to signal.

"Ah."

Of course, the three of them listened to Zhang Yang's words, and they worked together to continue digging the sand with the engineering shovel in their hands.

Wang Kaixuan suddenly sat down on the ground and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Oh my god, the eyes of this thing are actually moving."

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang glanced at each other, and also looked over.

"Fatty, are you too tired and dazzled?"

"No, no, I really saw that eyeball moving just now."

Wang Kaixuan strongly denied it.

Zhang Yang looked at the stone statue with giant pupils, and then said:

"Just a little guy."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, he saw a little guy like an ant slowly crawling out of the eye socket of the stone statue with giant pupils.

I saw that it was as big as a knuckle, and its whole body was black and shiny, but its tail was blood red.

"Hey, what kind of ant is this? It's so big?"

Hu Bayi couldn't help asking.

"Yeah, this ant is too big."

Wang Kaixuan quickly got up from the ground, staring at the ant with an expression of disbelief.

"This, this seems to be..."

Shirley Yang had a hesitant expression, as if she was thinking about the name.

"Desert army ants."

Zhang Yang took the words directly.

"Yes, it seems to be desert army ants."

Shirley and Yang Meng nodded, never thought that Zhang Yang would even know this, it really was her who underestimated her.

"What is a desert army ant?"

Hu Bayi said he didn't understand.

At this time, Wang Kaixuan directly raised his foot, and trampled to death the desert army ant that was still crawling.

With a crisp 'crack', it was trampled to pieces in an instant.

"Hey, this guy's body is pretty hard."

Wang Kaixuan spoke in a low voice.

Zhang Yang glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then said:

"The desert army ants are similar to the human army, with a high degree of organization and discipline, mainly soldier ants.

The ability to coordinate and organize is several times stronger than that of a human army.

Once the prey is in their hands, it is very difficult to escape.

Even a fat camel will be gnawed to the bone within a minute. "

As Zhang Yang paused, he pointed to the pile of bones not far away and said:
"That was their former prey."

"what?"

Wang Kaixuan shrank his neck in fright, and slapped him fiercely, feeling a little scared immediately.

He looked at the corpse on the ground whose head had just been trampled by him, and said in a low voice.

"Good guy, this is too cruel."

"Keep digging."

Zhang Yang signaled.

He didn't tell them that the giant-eyed stone statue was actually a nest of desert army ants.

I'm afraid they said so, they would definitely not dare to continue digging.

Soon, the three of them dug out the entire stone statue with giant pupils.
