Chapter 340: Desert Marching Ants

Ghost Blowing Lantern World, Taklama Desert.

After Anlimt finished praying, he also began to prepare for a rest.

After all, I was still very tired when I was on the road at night until I encountered a black sandstorm, and I haven't rested yet.

Hu Bayi looked at Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen, you go to sleep, I'll stay on guard for a while, and when you wake up, you can replace me." “

Lin Chen shook his head, let's go to sleep or Hu Bayi, Lin Chen is not very tired today, and his physique is still quite good.

Seeing that Lin Chen insisted, Hu Bayi was not reluctant, because he was also very tired.

After everyone rested, Lin Chen got some solid fuel to make the fire a little more vigorous.

Coming to the quicksand below the entrance of the cave, Lin Chen took out a mat, spread it on the ground, and then lay down.

He knew that there were no wild beasts here at all, because this was the territory of the desert marching ants, and the territorial consciousness of the animal race was very strong.

The beasts in the desert are still very awe-inspiring to these desert marching ants with a very strong racial consciousness.

Everyone slept, Lin Chen found a place and I made a pit, and directly buried the bones I found just now.

Lin Chen had to do this by himself, you must know that it would be difficult to say if they dug up the stone statue.

The current desert marching ants should still be hiding from the black sandstorm in their nests, and when the black sandstorm disappears, it is estimated that it will be the time for the desert marching ants to act.

After all, the black sandstorm has forced all the animals in the desert here to hide, and when the sky clears, it will be a good time to hunt.

The black sand storm was raging, and Lin Chen was lying on the sand pile below the entrance to the hole in the roof.

From time to time, some fine sand will blow in through the hole.

Lin Chen just kept lying down bored.

After about seven or eight hours, Hu Bayi woke up.

Then Lin Chen was replaced, and the rest of the team also woke up one after another.

Lin Chen looked at Hu Bayi when he was sleeping: "If they wake up for a while, no matter who it is, they can't mess with anything in it."

Hu Bayi nodded as if he didn't understand.

Then Lin Chen went to sleep.

After a night of silence, when Lin Chen woke up, he looked at the mechanical watch in his hand.

It's almost nine o'clock, and the time should be almost nine o'clock in the morning.

Lin Chen stretched, and then got up from his sleeping bag.

But what made him confused was that Hao Aiguo and the others were studying a black stone statue of a human head on the side.

Lin Chen looked at Hu Bayi with a confused expression, Lin Chen remembered that when he was sleeping, didn't he say that no one was allowed to mess with the things here? Why are you starting to study the stone statues underground?

Hu Bayi also shrugged helplessly.

Then he slowly told Lin Chen about the cause and process of the incident.

It turned out that when Lin Chen was sleeping, the strong wind outside blew a corpse from nowhere.

Everyone has no choice, Hu Bayi and they are fine, but Ye Yixin is different, staying with a corpse at night always feels a little panicked, and finally everyone discussed it and felt that it was better to dig a pit and bury it.

But outside, the black sand storm was raging, and they couldn't get out at all, so they could only dig a pit in the space where they were resting and bury the bones.

Thinking of the deceased, Hu Bayi still agreed to this request.

But when I was digging the pit, I found this stone statue, and then it became what it is now.

Lin Chen looked at the sky outside, and the sky was already clear normally.

It's just a little bit of wind and sand blowing slowly, and if you set off, it won't affect anything.

Looking at the people who were studying the stone statue, and then at the bones that were still lying quietly on the ground on the side, Lin Chen was speechless.

Sighing, Lin Chen said a little anxiously: "Okay, don't study it, it's not that you can't take it out if you don't study it, record the location, and then the big army will come and pull it." Hurry up and pack up and go, it's going to happen when it's late. ”

Seeing Lin Chen's slightly anxious appearance, everyone was puzzled, but they still listened to Lin Chen's packing up.

After all, Lin Chen was the deputy leader of their team, and he had the power to direct their team's actions.

Re-mounted on the camel, the expedition continued its journey.

Hu Bayi shouted the camel and came to Lin Chen's side, and then asked puzzledly: "Lin Chen, although the wind and sand are not big, we don't need to rush like this, it will be hot for a while." ”

At this time, the team had already left the ruins of the ancient city, about ten meters away.

Lin Chen shook his head, then pointed to the ruins of the ancient city behind him and said, "You'll know in a while." ”

As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, the roar of animals came from the ruins of the ancient city behind the team.

When everyone looked back, they saw hundreds of yellow sheep, wild camels, sand wolves, gerbils, and hyenas scurrying among the ruins of the ancient city. Not only the big house we were in just now, but there were also patches of big ants popping up in many places, each with a pitch-black body, a red tail, red and black, like the tide of the embankment.

Some of the animals ran a little slower, and were immediately covered by patches of large ants, which by the time the big ants left, the animals had become skeletons.

Not to mention those desert animals that were under siege, even the camels under Lin Chen's feet felt the horror of the big ants and began to run desperately.

When the camel slowly stopped, the ruins of the ancient city were no longer visible.

Lin Chen felt a little sorry, if his strength had not been sealed, he would have to go and catch the queen of this pile of desert marching ants, and then it would be a rare meal in this world.

After there was no danger, the team drove slowly.

Ye Yixin patted his small chest, and then said loudly: "What is that, so terrifying." It's scared to death. “

"That's a desert marching ant, and if we take a step too slowly, we'll definitely be gnawed into bones."

Shirley Yang said as she learned from Ye Yixin to pat her magnificent peak.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Sa Dipeng and the others began to ask about the knowledge of desert marching ants.

Shirley Young said she hadn't seen it before, but had seen villages looted by desert marching ants, where people and animals were gnawed to the bone.

Moreover, the reason why this kind of ant colony is called marching ants is because they have a high degree of organization and discipline, mainly soldier ants, if compared with the human army, in addition to mobility and firepower, the coordination and organization ability of a well-trained human army cannot be compared with the desert marching ants.

After talking for a long time, Shirley Yang suddenly shouted at her camel and came to Lin Chen's side, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Lin, may I ask, how did you know that there would be a desert marching ant attack just now, and then let us leave early?" “

Everyone also looked at Lin Chen with a curious expression, if Lin Chen hadn't urged them to leave just now, they would probably have been surrounded by desert marching ants.

"It's very simple, I know about the desert marching ants, I know that these things come out in groups.

While you were sleeping, I saw a few desert marching ants scurrying around in the dilapidated house where we were resting, presumably affected by the black sandstorm.

Thinking of the bare skeleton we found when we first arrived, I guessed that there must have been a nest of desert marching ants in that dilapidated house.

So when I went to bed, I told Lao Hu to keep an eye on you, and not to mess with the contents of the broken house, because I was afraid that you would alarm the army of desert marching ants.

I didn't expect that when I woke up, you had already excavated a stone statue in the broken house, and I sensed that something was wrong, so I taught you to retreat, but I didn't expect that there were really desert marching ants in that place. “

It is indeed a good thing to be good at observation, but not everyone is Di Renjie, and observation can lead to the truth.

But Lin Chen couldn't find a reason, so he could only fool everyone like this.
