The next morning.

After everyone had breakfast, Chu Feng accidentally found a black stone statue under the sand, and hurriedly asked everyone to check it out together.

Everyone threw away the sand around the statue and found that the black statue was very special. The head was always as big as two people, and their eyes were surprisingly large. There was no crown on the top of their heads. They only had two flat buns tied up. The expression was very peaceful and there was no joy or anger.

Sadi Peng turned on a gas lamp to light the stone statue. Professor Chen looked carefully and said to Hao Aiguo next to him: "Aiguo, have we seen this stone statue somewhere? It looks very familiar."

Hao Aiguo put on myopia glasses, went closer and looked carefully, and suddenly realized, "Ah, it's true. A thousand-coffin tomb was unearthed in Xinjiang before. There were many such giant-eyed stone statues around the cemetery, with big heads and prominent eyes."

Professor Chen nodded and said, "Yes, this giant-eyed stone statue has been unearthed in many places. There is no way to verify its origin. However, many experts and scholars pointed out that this should be a god worshipped by the Mongols. According to historical records, Kublai Khan is in the depths of the desert, there is a palace called (Incense Palace), which enshrines many such giant-eyed stone statues."

Seeing that the teacher was explaining archaeological knowledge, Sardipeng and his students quickly took out the notebook and listened carefully to Professor Chen's explanation.

Hao Aiguo and Professor Chen told them some knowledge related to this.

Suddenly! The big eyes of the stone statue moved, and the person next to him was shocked. He thought this thing was alive, so he jumped aside quickly.

Soon, an ant that was about the size of a little finger crawled out of the big eyeball. It was all black, but its tail was red.

When everyone saw that it was an ant, they breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something was wrong with the statue.

The fat man walked forward, grabbed the ant, threw it on the ground and stepped on it to death.

Everyone stayed in the castle for two more days, and the wind and sand outside finally stopped.

Because of the delay of two days, they had already drunk all the water on their bodies and had to rush to Xiye Ancient City as soon as possible to replenish them.

Without further ado, Chen Hao asked everyone to pack their equipment and prepare to leave.

At this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly came from my mind.

"Ding! Elite-level creature was detected: Marine Ant Queen, with a strength value of 5, and you can get an achievement point when you kill it!"

Chen Hao's heart moved and knew that the army of marching ants was about to come out, and he could take the opportunity to make a profit. The army of ants was not worth mentioning to him.

Everyone hurriedly packed their equipment. Before they could leave the castle, suddenly a big bag surged out of the ground, and countless big ants were sprayed out like a fountain!

"ah!"

Ye Yixin was shocked and hid behind Chen Hao.

"No, this is the desert marching ant. Wherever you go, no grass will grow! Go quickly!" Xueli exclaimed.

Without her reminder, the old guy An Liman immediately changed his face when he saw these ants. He ran out of the castle like a rabbit with something, without even saying hello.

"You guys go quickly, we will cut off the rear!" Chen Hao shouted loudly.

Everyone was frightened and quickly ran out of the castle with their things.

Fatty, Chen Hao, and Hu Bayi covered everyone, took out the engineer shovels, and slapped countless big ants that rushed up to death.

At first, there were not many ants in this wave. Dozens of them could be killed by slaughtering them with one shovel. When the ants were about to be destroyed by everyone, countless "fountains" suddenly surged up on the ground around them, and big black ants like tides surged out, like a black tide, making people's scalp numb.

"Fatty, Ah Hao, let's go!" Hu Bayi shouted loudly.

Everyone did not dare to neglect and quickly ran out.

When they came outside, everyone was immediately startled by the terrifying ants tide. They saw a large number of ants rushing out from every corner of the ancient city, countless, at least hundreds of millions!

Professor Chen and his team ran out first, but were blocked by a large number of ant colonies. They had to climb to a roof to hide.

The animals below ran around, some of whom had no time to avoid the ant colony were instantly submerged by the black tide, and within a few seconds it turned into a white bone!

Everyone was frightened to see it, and then they understood why there was no flesh on the corpse I had seen before, and it must have been gnawed by these ants.

There were more and more ants, almost covering most of the ancient city, and a large number of ants were pouring out under the roof where everyone was.

An Liman, the old guy, moved quickly and actually led the camel out of the ancient city. He was greeting everyone not far away, saying that he would wait for them in front of him.

The fat man cursed: "Damn it! The old guy is really unfaithful. He said it well before. Everyone is brothers and sisters, and they will never leave him under any circumstances. As a result, they run faster than a rabbit when they encounter danger!"

Hu Bayi hurriedly said, "Don't worry about him, hurry up and take out the fuel. I heard that ants are afraid of fire. Let's use fire to resist it for a while and see if we can find an opportunity to run out!"

After hearing his words, everyone took out fuel from their backpacks, either used food packaging bags, or packed a little in canned food, and then lit them and threw them away.

The ant colony is indeed afraid of the fire source. As soon as the fire source approaches, they will automatically disperse.

Seeing that this move was indeed effective, everyone quickly used fuel to form a firewall under the house to block the ants' attack.

Chen Hao didn't care about this. He stood on the roof and beat the beams around, trying to find the ant queen.

Because ants are a large group, if you capture the thief and the king, as long as you kill the queen of the ant, the other ants will be defeated without attacking and will run around like a piece of loose sand.

After waiting for a while, suddenly a big bag emerged from a wall not far away. After the mud and stones fell off, an ant as big as a lamb was squeezed out!

This big ant actually has several pairs of transparent wings, and its appearance is not much different from other ants. It is just that its size is more than a hundred times larger than that of ordinary ants, and it looks very terrifying. This big guy is the queen of this group of marching ants!

"My God, no wonder there is no one in this ghost place. It turns out to be the nest of an ant. We are in a miserable state now!" the fat man exclaimed.

"Catch the thief and capture the king, Ah Hao! Let's find a way to kill that big ant!" Hu Bayi reminded.

Needless to say, Chen Hao had already taken action, and used his light skills to float on the water. He stepped on the roof and flew towards the big ant.

When the members of the archaeological team saw him flying in the air, they all looked at him like monsters, looking in disbelief. Chen Hao's light skills simply subverted their understanding of the laws of physics.
