Chapter 28: Arrow Ants Show the Way
The fat man flipped out the photos in his camera and carefully compared them with the Arabic stone piles in front of him.
"Hey, this one." Panzi cried out.
The fat man zoomed in and took a closer look, and immediately scolded, "Hell, this fucking is really the same."
Pan Zi was a little annoyed, "Then what now, the longer we delay here, the more dangerous it will be for the third master."
The little brother proposed, "Change direction and go again."
"That's all there is to it, this time we'll carve a mark." Pan Zidao.
Half an hour later, they circled back here.
The fat man found a flat stone and sat down, fanned the wind with his hand, and sighed, "This hellish place is really a lame man's ass, we have all changed directions, and the fuck still can't get out."
Pan Zi was not discouraged, he kept looking for direction with a compass, and suddenly scolded his mother, "***, there is a magnetic field in this ghost place, and the compass is a lie to us."
The little brother and the fat man also hurriedly took out the compass and tried it, and sure enough, the compass was completely out of order here.
Since the compass is useless, the only way to get out of here is to wait for the stars to come out at night.
The fat man waved his hand for Pan Zi to sit down and rest for a while, and put his hand on the Arabic stone pile, "Old Pan, don't hang around, sit down and rest for a while, save some strength, let's have a good night...... Oops!"
The fat man suddenly screamed in pain, took a look at it with his hands, and found that there was a small earthy yellow ant lying in his fingers, probably the fat man was blocking its way, so it bit the fat man.
Looking further to the side, more small ants climbed up one after another from the bottom of the Arab stone mounds, as if they were marching and fighting.
The fat man flicked the ant in his hand and wondered, "The ant is moving? It's going to rain? I can't."
Pan Zi walked over, squatted beside him, picked up a small stone and picked up an ant to look at, and said, "This kind of ant is very common in the desert, called arrow ants, which are very resistant to high temperatures, but there is no arrow ant nest next to this stone pile, where did these little things crawl out."
"It doesn't matter where it came from, you just say whether this thing is poisonous or not, why is the fat man's fingers itching." The fat man shook his hand, puffed out his cheeks and blew on the redness and swelling of his fingers.
"There is no poison, it's similar to being bitten by a mosquito, some people are swollen to the hospital, a little bit of, it depends on the physique." Panzi took out the antipruritic agent from his backpack and threw it to the fat man and asked him to spray it.
The little brother walked over, stretched out his hand to chase away a small lump of ants gathered together, touched a handful of sand on the edge of the stone pile, put it under his nose and smelled, "It's sweet."
After speaking, he took out the dagger and scraped the handful of sand and soil away, and there were nicks underneath.
"Hey." The fat man screamed, "Isn't this damn sign of a wooden fish, why did you bury the sand?"
Panzi picked up the stone, poured a little water and wiped it clean, revealing the complete seal fish character, and the carvings were very fresh.
The fat man was excited, "The wooden fish has left a mark, let's follow this, at least we can find one."
Pan Zi was also a little excited, "Muyu has a smart head, he may be able to understand this Arabic stone pile, let's follow the mark, maybe we can find him and the third master."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up, I can rest assured that we can find their fat master as soon as possible." The fat man jumped up, dragged the little brother and the two walked forward.
At the next fork, I focused on looking for ants, and finally followed the mark to the makeshift camp when it was dark.
"Here."
The fat man turned on a flashlight, flicked the little bit of fruit candy left over from the melted mound with a stick, and heheed, "I'll just say, it's not raining or windy, how can the ants go out en masse, it turns out that they are eating sugar."
Pan Zi looked at the candy picked on the fat man's stick, and then looked at the small mound of earth arched by the ants on the edge, and was also happy, "The marks left by this kid Muyu are so special, who would have thought that this special mother would use sugar to attract ants to guide the way."
The little brother went to the tent to check it out, and walked out to the two of them
"No."
Panzi nodded, "It is estimated that Muyu first found the temporary camp they set up, and then followed the traces to find people, let's hurry up and leave."
The three of them followed the mark and continued to walk towards the depths of Devil's City.

On the other side, after Zhang Qixun found the ten copper coins in the small pit sunken in the stone mountain, he found a small stone at the bottom, piled up arrows in the direction he was going, engraved marks, and put sugar on them to make triple insurance to ensure that the little brother could find a location.
After walking for almost ten meters, he found the second copper coin, which seemed to be not far from Wu Xiaoxie's position.
Finally, in a shallow soil pit, Wu Xiaoxiao and the two were found dehydrated and fainted.
"A Ning" was still resting on Wu Xiaoxie's stomach, and Zhang Qixun stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push her aside.
didn't look at it, took off the backpack and took out the water bladder, removed a candy and shook it inside, then inserted a straw at the mouth of the bottle and put it on Wu Xiaoxie's mouth, and lifted his head, "Innocent, wake up, get up and drink water."
In a daze, Wu Xiaoxie felt as if he was hallucinating, as if he had heard the sound of a wooden fish.
The dry mouth suddenly felt moist, and something cold flowed into the mouth, and it seemed to be a little sweet.
Subconsciously wanted to lick my lips, and when my mouth opened, more sweet liquid flowed in.
Yes! Wu Xiaoxie thought to himself, could this be the legendary Yangzhi nectar that brought back to life in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea?
The body reacted before consciousness, and when Wu Xiaoxie came back to his senses, he was already sucking with a straw in his mouth, and the cool sweet water went straight into his heart and spleen, flowing into his limbs and hundreds of remains, making people have an endless aftertaste.
The burning sensation in his throat and lungs faded suddenly, and he felt like he was alive again.
His eyelids were too heavy for him to lift no matter how hard he tried, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he bit the straw and fell asleep.
Zhang Qixun moved Wu Xiaoxie into a sleeping bag, moved him to a sheltered place to make a fire, set up a small iron basin, poured water into it and boiled millet porridge, and then he had time to take care of "A Ning".
Looking at this face that was exactly the same as A Ning's, Zhang Qixun sneered in his heart, reached out to break her jaw, stuffed the water bladder with a straw into her mouth, dragged the person to a place three meters away from Wu Xiaoxie, and left her alone.
While stirring the rice porridge with a small spoon, sprinkle the dried meat and nori torn into thin strips and stir it well.
After a while, there was a choking cough from "A-Ning", apparently awake, but after a while there was no movement.
Zhang Qixun glanced over there, and said in his heart, the small one is quite capable of pretending.
