At nightfall, a strong wind blew outside.

The sound of the howling wind was like a terrible wolf howl, shocking people's hearts, and the rolled up sand and dust debris hit the windows and walls outside the house, and there was a crackling, firecracker-like sound.

Yang Fan and the others were all sitting around the fire, and the atmosphere between them was relatively quiet, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Goo-goo-goo -

Yang Fan was feeding his thousand-year-old snow toad some precious herbs, and then took out four reincarnation needles for it to do acupuncture.

Song Hongdou looked at the little toad in Yang Fan's hand with a look of surprise, he had never seen this kind of toad, and couldn't help but ask at this time, "What kind of toad is this?" Why do you give it acupuncture? ”

Yang Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "This is an ancient snow toad that lives in the snowy mountains, and its number is scarce. It's evolving fast, and I'm using acupuncture to help it unblock its meridians, which can speed up its evolution. ”

If you look closely at the snow toad's appearance, you will find that on its original crystal clear silver-white skin, small crystalline objects have appeared at this time, like scales, but they have not completely covered its whole body.

The dragon girl's face quickly flashed with a look of surprise.

When she was in Shennong Valley, she had seen the power of the thousand-year-old snow toad with her own eyes, and she relied on it to come out of Shennong Valley alive.

I didn't expect this little toad to evolve.

How strong does that evolve be?

"You're weird." Song Hongdou muttered quietly, looked at the sky outside the window, frowned, and said, "Why hasn't Ayati come back yet?" ”

As he spoke.

Jingle Bell, Ding Dong -

A crisp bell sound faintly came.

Ayati braved the wind and sand and led the four camels back to the yard.

After settling the camel in a corral, he entered the house.

"Whew... It's a lot of sandstorm. ”

As soon as Ayati entered, he took off the sheepskin hat on his head and swept it away from his body, shaking the dust off his body to the ground.

"Ayati, have you found any news?" Song Hongdou asked.

Ayati smiled heartily, walked to the stove and sat down, took out a sheepskin bag from his body, poured milk wine vigorously, and then said slowly: "Of the five teams that came this time, two of them are old friends, and the other three teams are all new faces, and I haven't seen them." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Song Hongdou asked.

Ayati glanced at the Millennium Snow Toad in Yang Fan's hand with a little surprise, and then said, "One is a team led by Dr. Wang Long of Singapore, and there are ten people including him. ”

"Wang Long's team is only nine people, and this time there is one more newcomer, have you inquired about the identity of this newcomer?"

Ayati nodded, "It's a missionary from France." ”

Song Hongdou was surprised: "Could it be that they want the missionaries to deal with the curse?" ”

"I don't know." Ayati waved his hand, and continued, "Another old friend is the Indian Floating Slaughter, so I don't need to introduce this again, right?" The other three teams, the news I learned was that one of them was composed of masters of the traditional cultivation realm of our Huaxia Kingdom, and there were six people. The remaining two teams are relatively confidential about their identities, and I can't ask about anything. ”

"I see. Ayati, thank you for your hard work today. Song Hongdou nodded.

Ayati laughed and said, "Doudou, we still need to be so polite." But you must be careful when you enter the mausoleum this time, your competitors look very strong. ”

"Yes, we'll be careful." Song Hongdou said.

Everyone chatted.

Song Hongdou introduced Yang Fan to them the strength of their opponents this time.

Dr. Wang Long of Singapore has a high reputation in the field of expedition archaeology, and the overall strength of his team is rated A, and he has never failed a mission.

There are four evaluation grades of the expedition archaeology team: A, B, C, and D, which is a recognized evaluation by practitioners in the field of expedition archaeology.

The highest-level D level represents a new team of newcomers.

Rank C, successfully developed a new expedition map, and completed the expedition mission.

B-level, compared with C-level, has more task experience, and the team's comprehensive strength and quality are higher.

The most senior A-level team, the professional knowledge, skills, psychological quality, and task experience of the team members are world-class. Mutual trust and tacit cooperation.

Even Song Hongdou's former team only belongs to the B level.

It's just that her team has been wiped out because of the failure of the mission.

This time, the new team formed with Yang Fan and others can only be evaluated as D-level......

Indian Floating Trooper Team, Class B. A team composed of Indian traditional cultivators, if they can complete the archaeological task of this devil's tomb this time, they can be evaluated as A-level.

Although the other three teams are all newcomers who have appeared in this lonely town for the first time, it cannot be ruled out that they have experience in performing expeditionary archaeological missions abroad before, and their strength should not be underestimated.

This time, if an important treasure is issued in the mausoleum, Yang Fan and the others will undoubtedly face a dangerous battle.

Ayati cooks dinner on the pot of the stove, and it is a stew of mutton soup.

After dinner, everyone went to rest. Ayati is also responsible for taking care of the camels, feeding them with fodder so that they know they can go on the road in the best possible condition.

Early the next morning.

After Yang Fan and the others were full of wine and food at Ayati's house, the four of them rode camels on the road.

In winter, although the climate is cold, compared to the hot summer, it is a very favorable climatic factor for the average professional expedition team, and it will not consume too much water in the middle of the desert. After all, these teams don't have Qiankun rings like Yang Fan, and they don't have to worry about water and food at all.

In this way, as long as they were not attacked by danger, the water and food that Yang Fan and the others carried this time would be enough for them to live in the desert for several months.

Traveling in the desert is a boring task, and when there is nothing new to talk about, all that remains is to bury your head in the road.

In the evening, they found a leeward terrain in the desert and set up camp to rest.

In this kind of desert, the most feared thing at night is that wolves and beasts are staring at camels, as well as lurking poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, full of unknown dangers, but with the thousand-year-old snow toad alert, they can sleep at night.

Until the afternoon of the third day.

The four of them traveled more than 100 kilometers and finally arrived at the periphery of the entrance of the mausoleum.

The undulating sand cones around it look like a small pyramid from a distance.

At this time, the sky was gray, and the wind and sand were blowing up became more and more intense, and the vision was very blurry, making it difficult to open the eyes.

"Look, there's four cars ahead! It seems that there is a team that came before us. Song Hongdou on the camel shouted.

Yang Fan looked at the place where Song Hongdou was pointing, and vaguely saw the vague figures of the four cars in the dust, so he urged the camels under him to hurry away.

Song Hongdou and the three of them all followed behind him.

When the four of them approached the four cars, they were immediately shocked by the situation in front of them.

The four cars are custom-made concept versions of Jeep Hurricanes, with only eight white bones and tattered clothes left. They hadn't had time to unload their gear from the car, apparently they had stopped here shortly before they were suddenly attacked, and no one knew what had happened to them.

A cold breath suddenly emerged from Song Hongdou's brain, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Everybody be careful." Yang Fan said in a deep voice, and immediately jumped off the ground and walked to an off-road vehicle to carefully examine the body of a deceased.

Judging from the bones, it is an adult male surname, about thirty years old.

The bones of the deceased were clean, there was no scrap of flesh left, and the clothes on his body were as if they had been pierced by countless bullets, with many holes.

It was like something had eaten the flesh and intestines of the body alive.

Devouring Worms!

Yang Fan's face changed.

Beneath this desert is the territory of the devouring insects.

Just as he was about to make a warning, the sand around him suddenly swelled, and a large number of pitch-black crawling insects appeared, each of which was about the size of a baby's fist, a pair of blood-red and hideous eyes, limbs as sharp as razor blades, and a pair of extremely sharp teeth that could easily tear through all flesh and skin.

"Ahh We're dead! This is the territory of the Devouring Worms! Song Hongdou was so frightened that his face was bloodless.

They are already surrounded by devouring insects, and there is no way to escape.

This devouring worm, known as a ghost devil in the desert, lurks under the yellow sand at a depth of tens of meters, and once any creature accidentally enters their territory, even if it is an elephant, it will be eaten by them in groups in less than a few minutes, leaving only a pair of bones.

The group of devouring insects came out from under the yellow sand, like a surging black wave, the black pressed a large area, the number was too large to count, forming a circle around Yang Fan and them.

Unless Yang Fan can fly, there is no way to escape.

"Whew-"

Song Hongdou and the camels they sat on were all paralyzed to the ground with fright, and their heads were buried deep in the yellow sand.

"You're all ready to break through with me!" Yang Fan was quite calm at this time, and released the thousand-year-old snow toad out of his sleeve.

As soon as the thousand-year-old snow toad landed, a dazzling silver-white light shone on its body, and it was rapidly growing larger.

In the blink of an eye, it became as tall as most people.

Toads that get bigger?

Song Hongdou was stimulated a lot.

"You all follow me! Don't get scattered! Yang Fan finally told Song Hongdou and the others, the golden light flashed in his right hand, and the sharp dragon sword was clenched in the palm of his hand, and he immediately commanded the thousand-year-old snow toad to open the way forward.

The thousand-year-old snow toad has reached the evolutionary period, and in the past few days, it has achieved evolution ahead of schedule after Yang Fan's careful feeding and acupuncture stimulation.

The biggest change is not that it can adjust its body shape freely, but that it has an extra layer of crystal-like scale armor on its body, which has extremely high defense, and ordinary bullets and bombs cannot damage it at all.

As soon as the thousand-year-old snow toad got Yang Fan's instructions, it quickly rushed towards the surging devouring insects in front of it, opened its big mouth, and spit out a tongue nearly ten meters long, which was very sticky, and directly rolled up a piece of devouring insects and stuffed it into its mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.
