Chapter 6: The Strange Story of the Sand Sea
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day, when Qi Yuan woke up, the sandstorm had stopped, and looking at the sky, it was almost clear, and when he rubbed his eyes, he saw Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo organizing his students to dig stone statues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The stone statue is not tall, almost about two meters, and after a while, the whole stone statue is revealed, with its arms drooping, and its body is full of symbols, like some kind of text, and the most special thing is that it has a huge eyeball on its forehead.
Qi Yuan listened for a while, and had to admit that the professor at this time was not called a beast, this old man was very knowledgeable, very level, holding a magnifying glass to carefully observe the patterns and symbols on the stone statue, and then explain to several of his students, the students' own ideas, he will also make corrections.
Shaking his head, he was not interested in listening, and as soon as he had eaten a few bites, he heard several people around the stone statue shouting, "Ah...... How can there be so many big ants? ”
Someone shouted again: "There are also here, oh my God, why are there so many!" ”
Qi Yuan was shocked, and slapped his thigh fiercely, oh no, how could he forget about it, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a big bag of sand at the foot of the stone statue, gushing out countless big ants like a fountain.
Hu Bayi slapped with a shovel, and killed hundreds of them at once, but at the same time, thousands of big ants poured out, the pitch-black body exuded a cold light, and the red tail looked extremely demonic, emerging from the big hole like a tide, densely packed and countless.
Qi Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and get out, this ant will eat people." ”
Shirley Yang was well-informed, and also shouted: "Yes, this is a desert marching ant, if you walk slowly, you will be gnawed into a bone frame." ”
When everyone heard this, they trembled with fright, and then they remembered that they were afraid that the white bone yesterday was probably their masterpiece, and even Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi showed frightened looks, not to mention a few intellectuals. But here, Qi Yuan wants to give a thumbs up to An Liman's old man, this old man's reaction is not ordinarily fast, and he jumped out all of a sudden, and then this group of intellectuals reacted.
After Qi Yuan and Hu Bayi, the two of them took turns to shoot with the sapper shovel, but they were far from catching up with the speed at which the ants came out, this kind of thing is different from jackals, tigers and leopards, although they are small, they can't stand the large number, and the tigers have to flee when they see them.
Cold sweat kept breaking out on the heads of the two of them, but it seemed like a long time had passed for a while, and finally when everyone had escaped, Hu Bayi and Qi Yuan hurriedly ran outside.
was running, I saw Hu Bayi suddenly turn back and kick the fire away, animals have a nature, that is, they are afraid of fire, although the fire is not big, but it is scattered, but it also slightly hinders the way forward of the ants, Qi Yuan secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being the protagonist, and his psychological quality is really strong enough.
The sandstorm outside has stopped, some yellow sheep, wild camels and other animals have scurried, some slow runners, immediately covered by marching ants, thousands of gnawed together, even elephants can't stand it, only a white bone is left in a moment.
Everyone hurriedly climbed to the roof, although it was safe for the time being, but it was not a way after all, one by one's faces turned pale, Ye Yixin was even more frightened and cried, and the old man An Liman, who had always been calm, had no idea.
At this moment, a broken wall collapsed, and an ant the size of a lamb crawled out, this is the queen ant, with six pairs of transparent wings, the whole body is pitch black and translucent, exuding a cold light, extremely terrifying.
Seeing the momentum of the queen ant, everyone changed color, Qi Yuan even thought in his heart, whether to take them into the space, but then gave up this idea, this is the first time he has crossed, and he has not yet figured out the specific situation, in case he stays in this world forever, the space leaks out, it will definitely be a big trouble.
Don't talk about others, Professor Chen's political consciousness will definitely be reported to the country, and then he will be sliced and studied, is it possible that Qi Yuan can still kill everyone, his heart is not so ruthless, and he will not do it.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shirley Yang shouting loudly: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, hurry up and shoot it with a gun"
When the fat man heard this, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, his marksmanship was very accurate, and he just hit the queen ant, but the caliber of the gun was too small and the power was limited, so it was difficult to pose a threat to the queen ant.
When the fat man was stamping his feet in a hurry, he watched Hu Bayi take off the scarf that blocked the wind and sand, wrapped all the remaining solid fuel, and then ignited it and smashed it into the queen ant as an incendiary bomb.
This desperate approach unexpectedly had a miraculous effect, the "incendiary bomb" just fell on the body of the queen ant, the fire borrowed the wind, the more it burned, the queen ant suffered pain, and kept rolling in the desert. Unfortunately, this solid fuel is not easy to extinguish, and it can burn for more than ten minutes as long as it is a little bit, but after a while, the queen ant will be buried in the fire.
The marching ants around suddenly blew up the camp and rushed towards the sea of fire, and everyone took advantage of this effort to quickly disperse the scattered marching ants around them, leading the camels to run out, and there were animals running by from time to time, and they couldn't take care of it at this time, and they all ran desperately.
After escaping for about a few hundred meters, the team gradually stopped, and when I looked back, I saw countless marching ants rushing like sea water, drilling out of the ground, black pressure covering the entire ruins, only a small part just appeared, fortunately killed the queen ant, otherwise, all would have to turn into a pile of white bones.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, sighing secretly that they didn't know what danger they would encounter next, except for Qi Yuan, of course.

The ruins of the West Night City are an important part of the route, located in an oasis in the vast desert, like emeralds adorning a golden plate, and from a distance, a black ruin stands in it.
The group had just experienced a sandstorm and marching ants, and their physical strength had reached their limit, so they decided to repair in this ruin for two more days, and Qi Yuan didn't mind, his ultimate goal was to ensure the safety of the group, as long as people didn't hang up.
In these two days, an incident happened, Hu Bayi's celestial star feng shui is indeed magical, and when observing the stars at night, he accidentally discovered that there is an ancient tomb here. Professor Chen and the others were immediately overjoyed, and after making sure that there was no danger, they led the students down to the ancient tomb one after another.
But it's a pity that this ancient tomb has been destroyed, and it looks like the situation is not a few days different from another group of tomb robbers, which also makes everyone a little worried, tomb robbery is illegal, and those who can do this are not good stubble, in case they meet, except for Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, Qi Yuan and a Shirley Yang, the rest have no power to fight back.
Qi Yuan wanted to say, you think too much, these buddies can't die anymore, but he still wisely didn't say it.
Although the ancient tomb was destroyed, it was not without a little gain, Shirley Yang was careful and found relief carvings on the walls of the stone chamber, all of which were exquisite and colorful murals, and the organization was very clear.
Professor Chen was so excited that he trembled and said, "This is ...... This has something to do with the Absolute Country. ”
Qi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to ask for advice, if he didn't ask for advice, he couldn't do it, who told him to make up a dream to fool others.
Professor Chen said: "This is about the prince of Gumo, he wants to lead the people of Gumo to rebel against the **** ...... of the Exquisite Queen."
Qi Yuan was not interested in listening, he already knew what was going on, but he still had to pretend, but Shirley Yang's words aroused Qi Yuan's thoughts, she said: "The painting on it, the Exquisite Queen may be a monster......
Monsters, since ancient times, have countless legends in the land of China, both good and bad, including some touching stories, but for the vast part, monsters themselves represent a kind of evil.
That's right, but there are hundreds of millions of people in the land of Shenzhou, and there is a person who has really seen monsters, but if not, there is no way to explain some strange things, otherwise, there will not be so many legends and stories that have been handed down to this day.
Qi Yuan thought in his heart, maybe the little white, black cloud, and jade bee in his space can be called monsters, and they have broken the limits of life and put them in the real world, I don't know how much turmoil they will cause.
"Crossing space" is very magical, in Qi Yuan's view, it is no different from "natural space", this is the first time he has experienced crossing, Qi Yuan can be sure that there will be a second, third or even more times in the future, only his strength is stronger, there is a glimmer of hope to figure out what the reason for the two spaces is.

After three days of repairing the ruins of the West Night City, the archaeological team continued on the road, and although it was hard to walk next, it never encountered such dangers as sandstorms and marching ants.
More than ten days later, two huge black magnetic mountains stood opposite each other in the afterglow of the setting sun, like two ancient warriors in black armor, silently guarding the ancient secret, Zagrama Mountain, finally appeared.
The atmosphere of the team is a little strange, more than 20 days, after suffering a lot, this ancient secret is about to be revealed, Qi Yuan also began to be vigilant, because next, people began to die, Hao Aiguo was the first, and then there were three students, but because of "glucose", the people in the team were in good physical condition, not as tired as in the original book, and Ye Yixin did not have a fever.
Shirley Yang said to Hu Bayi: "The two sacred mountains have arrived, and the next thing is to see your Tianxing Feng Shui, find the exquisite ancient city, and the reward will be doubled." ”
Hu Bayi immediately came to his senses as soon as he heard this, 40,000 US dollars was a considerable fortune in the eighties, he waved his hand, full of momentum, and took the lead in entering the sacred mountain.
The two sacred mountains are indeed weird, as soon as Qi Yuan stepped on it, his body felt a chill, this is a kind of intuition of danger, after getting the natural space, this intuition is even stronger, and the judgment of danger is very accurate.
The mountains were undulating, and there were black stones everywhere, which contained magnetism, and the compass and the watch were all useless, and I don't know how long they had walked, when the camels' breathing suddenly became heavy, and their emotions became obviously uneasy, and they could not be quiet even if they were whipped by the old man of Anliman.
