Chapter 163: Marching Ants
The place where Hong Kaiyuan found the east and west is located in the southwest corner of the entire ruins, and judging from the remaining walls, it should belong to a house facing the street.
The wall less than half a meter high couldn't hide Hong Kaiyuan's huge ass-thigh, and he was pouting to look at what was buried in the sand.
By the time Gu Xin and I rushed over, Hong Kaiyuan had already pulled the sand apart, revealing a white bone!
"Hold the grass, it's so lucky, I'll find it as soon as I come!" Hong Kaiyuan muttered as he pulled the sand.
I glanced around and found that this place was basically the same as the description provided by Tang Qizheng, and it was indeed behind a broken wall. The only difference is that I didn't see its clothes. I think that with the passage of time, the rotten clothes have long been blown away with the wind and sand.
However, my judgment is not entirely correct, with Hong Kaiyuan's excavation, some fragments of clothes still appeared, but they were all at the bottom of the skeleton.
"Sure enough, it's not human!" Gu Xin muttered.
"Nonsense!" Hong Kaiyuan glanced up at us, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Could it be that this is the legendary one-eyed dragon?!"
"Fuck off!" I glared at him and crouched down.
Seeing this, Hong Kaiyuan immediately said: "Be careful, Benima is broken!"
I didn't say a word, carefully examined it for a moment, and asked Hong Kaiyuan, "From your medical doctor's point of view, is it possible that this thing is fake?"
"Fake?!" Hong Kaiyuan was immediately happy: "I'll prove it to you right away!" As he spoke, he picked up a piece of arm bone and folded it gently, and with a soft click, the bone broke in response, and it was broken very irregularly, almost completely broken.
"Judging from the structure in the bone cavity, this really can't be true!" Hong Kaiyuan sent the broken bone to me.
"Fake or not, the arm bones shouldn't be visible, right?" Gu Xin interjected weakly.
Hearing this, Hong Kaiyuan scratched his head and thought for a while, then immediately threw away the broken bone: "Also, let's take a closer look at other parts first, and then let's open the skull! Other places can be faked, but the skull can't be faked!"
We then rearranged all the skeletons, and found that they were exactly as described in the data.
"Hold the grass, if it's alive, I bet this thing is definitely the ugliest creature on earth!" Hong Kaiyuan touched his chin and smiled.
After I looked at it for a while, I asked Hong Kaiyuan again: "Fatty, can you see anything from its lower limbs and phalanges?"
Hong Kaiyuan glanced at the bones on the ground, and said lightly: "Looking at the structure, it is a bit similar to an ostrich, but it is definitely much better than the mechanical structure of an ostrich, so it should be able to run, and the speed is definitely not low!"
"Can't it, right? when the ostrich is fast, it is about the same as a car, and the speed can reach seventy kilometers per hour!" Gu Xin also glanced at it, not believing Hong Kaiyuan's words. "Can it go beyond that?"
"San'er, you are the best at fighting, if you talk about this, you really have to call me big brother!" Hong Kaiyuan patted Gu Xin's shoulder with bad intentions.
"It seems that, as we originally thought, it should be the Meizu people!" I concluded.
"I understand what you mean by asking me!" Hong Kaiyuan immediately reacted: "The teleportation ability of Meizu people should have a lot to do with the structure of their bodies!"
"So that's the case!" Gu Xin suddenly realized, scratched his head and smiled: "No wonder I can only rank third!"
"Even if it's your age, it's not your turn, okay?" Hong Kaiyuan glared at Gu Xin.
Immediately, he changed his words and said, "Lao Qi, what do you think is the main reason why it has become like this?"
"What are you referring to?" I asked rhetorically.
"Didn't Tang Qizheng also say in the information he gave you, in a ghost place like the desert, even if you die, there will still be a shell left! But look at it, the bones are a little ridiculously clean! There is not the slightest fur to be seen in any part! Is it really for something else to gnaw away?"
"It shouldn't be, even if it was done by a fierce beast, there would be something left in the joints, and besides, have you noticed, except for the part we just damaged, there are no traces of violent destruction on the surface of all the skeletons, they are extremely smooth, as if they have been soaked and washed with some kind of chemical solvent!" Gu Xin said.
"Maybe it's its opponent!" I laughed, "since it can appear here, its opponent can also appear here, maybe that opponent has some kind of special weapon, after such a thing, haven't you noticed that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense." β
"Okay. Hong Kaiyuan had no choice but to break off the idea of continuing to get to the bottom of the matter, and said, "Then let's go to the last process." After speaking, without waiting for me to say anything, he took the skull in his hand and said something in his mouth.
"One-eyed Dragon Hero, in order to prove that you are not faked, I can only stand up to you. β
Then, with a force of both hands, the skull shattered!
After looking at the bone fragments for a long time, Hong Kaiyuan threw them to the ground, clapped his hands, and said, "In the name of Li Longji, I guarantee that it is absolutely genuine!"
I nodded, "Okay, let's go find other remains to prove the authenticity of the information." With that, he turned around and began to search again.
Soon, we found the other remains in the document, and apart from the fact that we could not identify the clothes on them, what we found was exactly the same.
Now that the information had been fully verified, the three of them began to walk back. After all, Wen Jing and the three of them are still not very relieved.
"Lao Qi, according to the information, that agent is on a search mission. What did you say those people who died here for when they came here?" asked me as he walked.
"God knows!" I took a deep breath and said slowly, "Maybe it has something to do with the goal of our operation!"
"No, in the era of war and chaos, people's level of civilization is low, and no one knows the details of Mrs. Feng's family, how can anyone know this?" Hong Kaiyuan immediately questioned.
"Perhaps, they stumbled into the hiding place of the 'Martial Emperor' by mistake, and felt that something was difficult to understand, or they thought it was magical, so they sent someone here?"
"Don't guess, when you get to the destination, I believe there will be some answers. "My mouth was on the answer, and my eyes were not idle, for I had noticed something wrong. "Fatty, remember when we came in, there was no sand here. β
I don't know when, dozens of large and small piles of fine sand appeared between the ruins and broken walls around us, the large ones were like cow dung, and the small ones were less than the size of a fist, all of which were cone-shaped.
"Yes, it's impossible for me not to feel such an eyesore!" Hong Kaiyuan frowned, looking suspicious. "How did these things come about?"
"Brother, look, they seem to be getting bigger!" Gu Xin suddenly pointed to the sand pile and said loudly.
When I heard this, I fixed my eyes: no, those piles of sand were pouring out at a very fast speed like tiny springs, as if there was some force in the ground squeezing the sand out like toothpaste!
Before we could react too much, this kind of fine sand began to appear under our feet, and seven or eight of them appeared at once!
I felt that something was not right, and immediately said, "Watch your step!"
"Be careful. Hong Kaiyuan didn't pay attention to my words at all, and kicked Li Li away from a small pile of sand near him.
It didn't matter if he kicked it, we immediately saw something hidden in the sand: it turned out to be more than a dozen antsββ super large ants!!
When I was a child in the countryside, I saw the largest black ants living in rice fields, and their bodies and heads were about the same thickness as grains, but they were a little long, about 15 millimeters.
And these ants in front of me are about the size of little fingers!
It's still some distance, but I can see two slender tentacles and a pair of sharp jaws on the heads of these tawny ants!
When he was still waiting to take a closer look, he heard Hong Kaiyuan roar: "Dog-day-, it will bite people!"
Presumably, a few ants took the opportunity to climb onto his legs.
"Holding grass, it's very powerful, and it hurts to bite someone. Hong Kaiyuan had already rolled up his trouser leg and slapped the two ants that were biting his leg to death.
"Brother Yuan, are you okay. Gu Xin hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
"Nima, it's swollen so quickly!" Hong Kaiyuan cursed.
"I'll see. Gu Xin leaned over to take a look, and then gasped: "This is not an ordinary ant!, do you feel a little numb, itchy and a little sore?"
"How do you know?" Hong Kaiyuan wondered.
Gu Xin picked up a dead ant and looked at it, and immediately shouted, "Run, this is a marching ant!!"
