Chapter 128: The Giant Pupil Stone Statue and the Marching Ant
It was another morning, and Shirley Yang and Ye Yixin woke up from the tent! The two ladies were given special care and not only stayed in the biggest tent! Still in the middle of other people's tents!
The second daughter got up, walked out of the tent, and saw that Chaoxia was red, Ye Yixin smiled and said, "Sister Shirley, you see that today's Chaoxia is so beautiful!" ”
"yes, it's really good-looking! Wait, I'll take a picture with my camera! ”
It's true that Shirley Young is a special guest reporter for National Geographic, so this kind of valuable photo shoot is subconsciously done!
Jiang Youwei walked over and saw Chaoxia, but his face was a little bad.
Ye Yixin has been paying attention to Jiang Youwei since he saw Jiang Youwei, seeing that Jiang Youwei's face was not good, he hurriedly asked: "Youwei, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly, is it because you haven't slept well?!" ”
Jiang Youwei shook his head and said: "No, this Chaoxia is too red, it's not a good phenomenon!" ”
Shirley Yang walked over with a camera and asked, "Oh, is there any basis for saying that?!" ”
Jiang Youwei explained: "There is a proverb that says that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles, which is still very reasonable, because the bright red morning glow appears before and after sunrise, indicating that there is a lot of water vapor in the atmosphere, and the clouds have begun to invade the region from the west, which is a sign that the weather is about to turn rain." At the same time, the morning temperature is cooler, and as the temperature rises, the atmosphere gradually becomes more unstable, making convective clouds more susceptible, resulting in subsequent rainy weather. Of course, this is a desert, and I'm afraid the weather will be even worse, and storms are possible! ”
Shirley Yang and Ye Yixin glanced at each other, both half-convinced!
At this time, An Liman came over and said: "The clouds in the sky are bleeding, God is probably angry that the wind is going to rise again in this desert, there is going to be a very big wind, it is estimated that there will be a black sandstorm, we must hurry as soon as possible, and find a better haven before the black sandstorm comes!" ”
The guide said this, and the second daughter no longer doubted, and hurried to prepare for the pack and prepare to go.
Soon, the crowd continued on their way, this time noticeably quickening their pace.
But on the contrary, Anlim has to kneel down and pray every once in a while! Everyone couldn't say anything, so they had to wait for An Liman!
As the sky grew overcast and the wind blew stronger, everyone realized that there was a real possibility of a black sandstorm! Hurriedly beckoned An Liman to hurry away immediately.
Anriman turned a deaf ear, still prayed, and then began to drive the camel forward at a rapid pace!
After praying, An Liman seemed to have a better ability to discern the direction, and soon led everyone to a ruin!
There are houses and shelter, enough to withstand the Black Sandstorm!
Everyone was also secretly surprised, but the black sandstorm was rolling in behind, and they didn't care about asking anything, so they hurriedly found a place to hide from the black sandstorm.
The black sand covers the entire ruins, and a lot of sand is rolled up to the sky, and you can see many houses here, which seems to be an ancient city with ruins.
And Jiang Youwei and the others had already found a big earthen kiln to hide in before the black sandstorm came.
Listening to the roar of the black sandstorm outside, everyone was also secretly glad to have found a guide like An Liman, if they entered the desert by themselves, I am afraid that they would all be swept up to the sky now!
The black sandstorm roared non-stop, and after everyone found some firewood in the earthen kiln and lit it, the black earthen kiln finally lit up.
After a week of inspection, everyone found a lot of bones in the earthen kiln, human bones and animal bones.
Aliman explained: "Black sandstorms are very common in the desert, and once they appear, no matter what kind of animal they are, they need to find shelter everywhere, and the earth kiln here is obviously the best shelter. When these animals or humans hide here, they have been watching for the black sandstorm, but when the black sandstorm passes, they will suddenly wake up, maybe a sheep and a wolf are together, or maybe a few people and a few jackals, tigers and leopards are hiding together! That's how these human and animal bones remained! ”
Everyone listened to the heart, but fortunately this time it was only them, and there were no other animals.
Only Jiang Youwei disagreed, maybe there was the kind of situation An Liman said, but Jiang Youwei was familiar with the plot and knew that there was an ant colony of desert marching ants hidden underground here, so I wonder if these bones were marching ants who came out and ate those animals or people!
Of course, he can't be sure, because in the plot, it was Professor Chen who found the giant pupil stone statue, and they had to dig up the giant pupil stone statue, which alarmed the marching ants and was attacked by the marching ants!
If the giant pupil statue is not moved, maybe the marching ants will not attack them?!
When Jiang Youwei thought of this, Professor Chen and the others also found the giant pupil stone statue, and they had already photographed Professor Hao and they began to excavate!
Jiang Youwei hesitated and did not dissuade!
However, he deliberately took Ye Yixin to the closest place to the exit, and once the marching ants appeared, he could leave with Ye Yixin as soon as possible.
When Shirley Yang saw this scene, she looked at Jiang Youwei thoughtfully.
Professor Hao's side of the crowd worked together to dig out the upper half of the giant pupil statue, and the giant pupil stone statue was engraved with an unknown Western Regions script, which made Professor Chen and them very interested.
Chu Jian and the others are already copying these words, and they plan to leave them for future research to find information!
"Hey, how can there be such a big ant in this stone statue!?"
Professor Hao saw a thumb-sized red ant emerge from one of the eyes of the giant pupil stone, and then crawled in from under the eyeball.
"What, what about that?!"
Someone said this, looking at the stone statue, but unfortunately saw nothing.
Professor Hao said that he had climbed into the eyeballs of the stone statue, and everyone did not take it seriously.
It was this time that made them suspect that the entire stone statue might be hollowed out! To confirm this suspicion, they planned to dig up the entire statue.
They were in a hurry, Jiang Youwei's eyelids twitched, and he was really caught! It's no wonder that the marching ants came out to attack, you want to dig people's nests, and it's strange that people don't attack you!
As Professor Hao and their excavations had not yet been excavated, red ants the size of thumbs had already emerged.
Everyone felt weird and finally stopped digging.
Shirley Yang walked over to take a look and said in surprise: "This is a desert marching ant, it can devour all the creatures it sees, we must get out of here quickly!" ”
"Some ants are just that, are they so scary?!"
There are people who don't understand marching ants and don't think so.
Shirley Yang explained: "Marching ants are very powerful, there are two or three million in a colony, they fight in groups, and they will even outflank and encircle when they encounter targets, if they surround you, it won't take you a few minutes to turn you into a pile of white bones!" ”
"I'll go, won't I, these white bones, can't they all be done by those marching ants?! What else did this An Liman say just now...... What nonsense! ”
Wang Fatzi complained.
