The four of Shao Shan had a plan for the next trip, so they left one person to keep vigil, and the others dispersed to rest, and when Hu Bayi came over to replace Shao Shan, the sky was already slightly bright.

"Ants, a lot of ants!"

Not long after Shao Shan lay down, he was awakened by a panicked sound, and hurriedly turned over and jumped up, and saw that the bones left over from the last night were crawling with hundreds of ants the size of knuckles, these ants were all black, and their tails were blood-red, which were quite hideous.

A few small dirt bags next to it quickly bulged, like a fountain, and the black-pressed ants broke through the ground, making the scalp tingle.

"Lao Hu, solid fuel, the others withdraw immediately!" Shao Shan's face changed drastically, and he commanded loudly.

Fortunately, now that the sky is bright and the wind and sand have passed, An Liman saw that the situation was not good, and ran out first, this old man's ability to escape for his life was not as good as Shao Shan's self-sighing, Shirley Yang hurriedly helped Professor Chen to climb out of the cave, and Professor Hao followed.

"Old Hu, Brother Shao, let's go!"

"Okay, let's go!" Shao Shan's right leg swept out, and the fire that had not yet been extinguished was suddenly thrown out, igniting the solid fuel.

"Boom!" The flames erupted like a wall of fire, keeping the desert marching ants at bay, but these marching ants were undaunted by death, and threw themselves into the wall of fire one after another, trying to extinguish the fire with numbers, while more marching ants bypassed by.

"Drink!" With a broken drink, Shao Shan's footsteps stepped heavily on the ground, and there was a low muffled sound, like a big stone thrown into the lake, and the surrounding sand suddenly surged violently, covering a large number of marching ants under the sand, although this could not kill the marching ants, but it bought time.

"Brother Shao, let's go!" Hu Bayi climbed out of the cave and beckoned Shao Shan Dao.

"Good!" Shao Shan stepped lightly on the soles of his feet, jumped on the wooden frame next to him, and rushed out of the cave directly.

However, before Shao Shan could stand firm, he felt that the mountain shook under his feet, and a broken wall collapsed, and a big ant like a calf crawled out of it, with six pairs of transparent wings on its body, it was a queen ant, probably attacked by a sandstorm, and they were preparing to migrate.

"Damn, there's really a way to heaven that you don't go, and hell has no door for you to break in!" Looking at the queen ant at his feet, Shao Shan flashed the big knife in his hand and jumped down from the roof, the snowy knife light swept through, and the queen ant was in a different place in an instant, without turning up a little wave.

"Brother Shao, well done!" Hu Bayi cheered and jumped off the roof.

The current situation is okay, everyone came out in time, and they were not surrounded by desert marching ants, and by the time Shao Shan and Hu Bayi caught up, Shirley Yang had already controlled An Liman and was waiting in front.

Looking back at the yellow sheep that was gnawed into white bones in an instant, everyone was afraid for a while.

Because of the death of the queen ant, the desert marching ants became riotous and scattered, and the black pressure made people's scalps tingle when they looked at it, and everyone ran out of the road again, and after Shao Shan was sure that there was no danger, he stopped everyone.

"Uncle Anliman, you determine the direction first, you didn't distinguish the direction at all in the panic just now, and if you run again, you will only run farther and farther!" Although Shao Shan was not sure where everyone was now, he could be sure that they had deviated from their original route.

Hearing Shao Shan's words, everyone's faces changed, if this is going in the wrong direction, isn't it the opposite direction, you must know that getting lost in this desert is equivalent to losing your life.

"Yes, Uncle Anliman!" Shirley Yang was the most anxious of the crowd, and deviating from the course would add more unknown risks, which was not what she wanted to see.

Anliman jumped off the camel and walked to the distance to observe the terrain, after a night of sandstorms, now the desert outside has completely changed, the sand dunes have moved, the route is covered, only a living map like Anliman can identify one or two.

"Fatty, go check everyone's hydration bags and food!"

"Don't worry, I checked it just now, it's fine!" The fat man said.

Due to the preparation in advance, the evacuation of the desert marching ants was not in a hurry, so there was not much loss of food and water.

"That's good!" Shao Shan breathed a sigh of relief, this act kept his actions swift, he didn't plan to go to the tomb of Prince Gumo again, that would be meaningless, and if he didn't go to the tomb of Prince Gumo to replenish fresh water, then everyone's water storage at this time must be sufficient, at least enough to support everyone to reach the next water replenishment point.

"Well, the direction is off the original route, but it's not too far, and it takes about half a day to find the original route!" After observing for a long time and comparing the map, Anliman finally came to a conclusion.

"Okay, then let's adjust the direction immediately, after all, time waits for no one, the sooner you arrive at the Exquisite Ancient City, the better, what do you think?" Shao Shan looked around and asked.

"Good!" "Okay, then listen to Comrade Xiao Shao!"

……

Everyone set out on the journey again, and although the environment became worse and worse in the next few days, there were no more accidents along the way.

On this day, after a night's journey again, everyone's faces were tired, the sun gradually rose, and the scorching sun scorched the sand, giving people the illusion of walking on the stove, Shao Shan and Hu Bayi beckoned everyone to stop and rest here, and then set off when the sun set.

Shirley Yang sat under the tent, took out the map and Walt's notebook and double-checked, and was delighted to find that everyone was close to the edge of the exquisite ancient city, and would be able to reach the vicinity of Cishan by tomorrow at the latest.

"Lao Hu, Brother Shao, come and see!" Suddenly, the fat man's babbling voice came from behind a small sand dune, where he had just been.

Shao Shan jumped up, glanced at Hu Bayi, and quickly walked in the direction of the fat man, Shirley Yang followed closely behind.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on!"

Professor Chen, Professor Hao, and An Liman were in a daze, when they were suddenly woken up by the fat man's scream, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

Shao Shan was the fastest, and he took the lead in climbing the sand dunes, and when he looked around, he saw the fat man standing below, and kept waving at him.

Seeing that the fat man was fine, Shao Shan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and slowly slid down the sand dune, while Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang also caught up.

"Fatty, what's going on, you're yelling!" Hu Bayi glared at the fat man angrily, and he had a posture of not giving up without explaining clearly.

"Look at that!" The fat man smirked and pointed behind him.

But I saw a pile of burned fire remnants left not far away, a breeze blowing, and a little soot drifted away with the wind.

"Fire, there's someone nearby, just left!" Hu Bayi instantly understood the meaning of the fat man, and blurted out his debut.

"Yes, the desert is constantly windy and sandy, and the terrain changes quickly, any traces left behind will be quickly erased, and this fire can still be left here, most likely from last night!" Shirley Young said.

"The most important thing is that these people's purpose is the same as ours!" Shao Shan said in a deep voice, he understood that these should be the four foreigners that An Liman brought into the desert, but he didn't expect everyone to increase their speed but catch up with them.

Shao Shan's words made Shirley Yang's face change: "You mean they are also here to find the Exquisite Ancient City!" ”

"This is already in the depths of the Black Desert, a place that even a living map like An Liman would not want to enter, what is there other than the Exquisite Ancient City that is worth the risk of these people?" Shao Shan asked rhetorically.

"No, we must not let them get a head start!" Shirley Yang's face was cloudy, and he quickly ran towards the campsite.

"Let's go, let's hurry back!"

After Shirley Yang's introduction, Professor Chen and others also understood the seriousness of the matter, and Hu Bayi also got the other party's situation from An Liman's mouth, four people and four guns, and the others are unknown.

Everyone discussed, but there was no practical way, although Hao Aiguo shouted to fight the other party to the end, but he couldn't really let him go up to block the gun.

"Now the situation is unknown, I can only take one step at a time and adapt to the situation!" Shao Shan looked at everyone and said, "That's it, I'll explore the way ahead for the next journey, and notify everyone in advance of any danger!" ”

"Brother Shao, let's take turns!" Hu Bayi said that he was very good at being a soldier.

"Okay, that's it!"
