Chapter 161: Desert Marching Ants
Crossed the bend. Entered the black desert that An Liman said, rested for a night, and saw the bloody morning glow in the sky early the next morning, Wang Xiaoyi knew that this was about to start a black sandstorm.
Wang Xiaoyi pulled Hu Bayi aside and said, "Old Hu, it's the wind season, and it's very dangerous to enter the desert. I just looked at the sky, and I guess there will be a sandstorm today, if you don't want to be buried in the ground, hurry up and get to the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye. ”
Hu Bayi went to ask An Liman again, Hu Bayi walked up to An Liman and asked, "Old man, is it going to be windy?" ”
An Liman looked at Chaoxia and said, "Yes! The desert is going to be windy again, and it will be very strong. ”
Hu Bayi hurriedly told Professor Chen that they were packing up their things and moving towards the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye. The wind and sand are coming so fast! It hasn't been out for more than an hour before the wind and sand have arrived.
The power of nature is incomparably powerful. People can't have the idea of confrontation at all, the rolling sand and dust are like wheels crushing Wang Xiaoyi and others, Wang Xiaoyi and others are difficult to march towards the ruins of the ancient city of the West Night, but the black sandstorm is too big, so that everyone loses their way, deviates from the route, and now they don't know where they are.
Finally, under the leadership of Anliman, he came to a ruin. Gather some firewood in the surrounding area, light a bonfire, and everyone sit down to rest. Ye Yixin unconsciously held a human rib in his hand, and Shirley Yang reminded: "Xiao Ye, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
As a result, Ye Yixin was shocked, and screamed and said, "Bones, there are a lot of bones here." ”
Hao Aiguo comforted: "We are studying the ancient exam, are we still afraid of human bones?" ”
Ye Yixin said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hao, I didn't expect that there would be human bones here, and I was not mentally prepared for a while." ”
Hao Aiguo sorted out the human bones, and Hu Bayi looked at the human bones and said, "Professor Hao, these bones are a little strange?" ”
Wang Fatzi asked curiously, "What's so strange about this?" ”
Hu Bayi explained: "The dead in the desert generally do not decay, but will naturally dry into mummies. But if you look at these bones, there's not a trace of flesh and blood. ”
An Liman said while eating the bag: "Maybe it was eaten by a wolf." ”
Hu Ba nodded and said: "It is very likely that this person may have once avoided a sandstorm here, but he didn't expect to meet a wolf." ”
Wang Xiaoyi drank wine and came to the human bone, picked up a human bone and looked at it carefully. Hu Bayi asked, "Yizi, have you found anything?" ”
Wang Xiaoyi took a sip and said, "This person was not attacked by a wolf. ”
Wang Fatzi asked curiously: "It wasn't attacked by wolves, what else can attract him and eat it all?" ”
Wang Xiaoyi showed contemplation and said: "If it was attacked by a wolf, then the bones on his body should not be so complete, and there should be traces of wolf gnawing on the bones. As he spoke, he put all the bones together.
Wang Xiaoyi continued: "But you see, he is very concentrated in these bones, and there are no traces of gnawing on them. So he wasn't killed by a wolf or a leopard. ”
Hu Bayi asked, "Then how did he die?" If he died of lack of water, he should have been a mummy, right? ”
Wang Xiaoyi picked up a bone and said, "Look at the tiny tooth marks on this. ”
Everyone hurriedly circulated it, and Wang Xiaoyi continued: "I think he ran into the desert marching ants, so it is very likely that we are directly above the desert marching ants' nests. Perhaps he came here alone to venture out, but he encountered a sandstorm, and he hid here, and he fell asleep when he was tired and thirsty, and in his sleep, the desert marching ants came out and ate him. When he wanted to resist and flee from here, he had no choice but to leave this white bone to warn future generations. ”
After listening to Wang Xiaoyi's words, everyone was shocked. Hu Bayi took the bone and looked at it carefully, and there were indeed very fine tooth marks on one leg bone. Professor Chen took the magnifying glass to see it clearly, Professor Chen nodded and said: "Comrade Wang, the analysis is very reasonable, and it is very likely that it was done by the desert marching ants." ”
Wang Fatzi clapped his hands heavily and said, "This is really just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth." I said why didn't the group of yellow sheep come here to hide from the wind and sand, and would rather be blown by the wind and sand outside than come in, I thought they were afraid of us, but it turned out that we should be the most afraid. ”
Sa Dipeng asked, "Brother Wang, what should I do now?" ”
Wang Xiaoyi returned to the place where he had just sat and said, "What else can I do?" Wait and see, if you go out now, you will die, and there is also a danger of death here, but as long as you are careful not to disturb them, you may not encounter desert marching ants. ”
Professor Chen instructed very tightly: "The king agrees to say that he is right, everyone should move as gently as possible, and try not to touch any objects as much as possible, so as not to alarm the desert marching ants." ”
However, some people have a negative attitude towards Wang Xiaoyi's view, that is, Hao Aiguo. Hao Aiguo thinks that Wang Xiaoyi is too alarmist and fearful of a living thing, which is the last thing a scientist should be. Moreover, desert marching ants do not build nests, they generally act in groups and are easy to spot.
Originally, it was a giant pupil statue dug up by Hu Bayi, but it was dug up by Hao Aiguo. An Liman tried to stop the archaeological team from excavating the giant pupil statue, but unfortunately the archaeological team unanimously objected. Professor Chen, they have forgotten what Wang Xiaoyi just said.
Dedicated to the study of the giant pupil statue, Sadipon suggested that it might be an alien. was reprimanded by Hao Aiguo, but Professor Chen did not think so, but encouraged him. It is said that what Sadipeng put forward is also a kind of viewpoint, and archaeology is to demonstrate these views.
Wang Xiaoyi waited for the appearance of the desert marching ants, but Wang Xiaoyi himself did not think about how to eliminate the desert marching ants. Because as long as the queen ant does not die, the desert marching ant will definitely not become extinct, but Wang Xiaoyi does not know where the queen ant is. But Wang Xiaoyi is impossible to excavate, the amount of work is too large, Wang Xiaoyi has seen a video before, some boring scientists use ten tons of cement, poured into a huge ant nest on the grassland, when digging out this nest, the underground world composed of nests of various functions can be called a world miracle.
But the question is, where can Wang Xiaoyi find so much cement? Can't pour the bar! Wang Xiaoyi was reluctant. At this time, Xian'er reminded that desert marching ants do not build nests at all, and are constantly moving, finding and eating prey from birth. These ants have strong jaws, a much stronger bite than ordinary ants, a large amount of formic acid, and when hunting, they have a very strong organization and discipline, even in a disciplined army, it is difficult to compare with them.
If you can't build a nest, it's much easier to solve. Tomorrow, a wine fairy cloud will go down, send these cute little ants to the sky, and your dream coins will be in hand. Wang Xiaoyi fell asleep with peace of mind.
Early the next morning. Hao Aiguo excavated the giant pupil statue more deeply, and the result completely alarmed the desert marching ants. Millions of desert marching ants are pouring out of the sand like a tidal wave.
Wang Xiaoyi saw at a glance that there was a big white and fat ant in the ant colony, Wang Xiaoyi's heart blossomed, if it weren't for everyone's face running for their lives, Wang Xiaoyi wanted to shout, and waited for a long time.
