"Fat man, if you want to go out, you can go out by yourself." Hao Shuai rolled his eyes at Fatty Wang and said, "If you go out, you will definitely die. If you don't go out, you will not necessarily die. Make your own choice!"
"Am I worried about those desert army ants?" Fatty Wang said with a sneer.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't dig the sand to disturb them, they won't come out now. After all, ants can sense the black sandstorm outside and know the danger." Hao Shuai comforted the frightened people.
The reason why Hao Shuai told them about the situation here was mainly because he was afraid that Professor Chen and other archaeological team members would dig up the stone sculpture like in the plot while Hao Shuai was asleep.
Although Hao Shuai has an invincible golden body and is not afraid of desert army ants, he really doesn't want to wake up with ants crawling all over his body.
"Okay, everyone, let's go and rest. We will retreat as soon as the black sandstorm stops." Hao Shuai saw that everyone was no longer so scared, so he asked them to rest early.
After they all lay down, Hao Shuai pulled Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, and the three of them came to the corner and said: "Old Hu, Fatty, the three of us will take turns on duty tonight. First, make sure that the entrance of the cave is not covered by sand.
Well, the second is to prevent those archaeological teammates from digging randomly and provoking desert army ants."
"Understood."*2
After that, Hao Shuai and the other two decided on the order of duty, with Hao Shuai first, Hu Bayi in the middle, and Fatty Wang last.
After making the decision, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang went to bed first, while Hao Shuai sat cross-legged by the campfire to practice his magic.
It stands to reason that there should be no spiritual energy in the Age of Dharma Ending, but perhaps because of the existence of supernatural phenomena in this world, Hao Shuai can still sense traces of spiritual energy. Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he just practices to pass the time!
Soon, a few hours passed. Hao Shuai woke up Hu Bayi, who took over, and got into his sleeping bag to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Hao Shuai vaguely heard the sound of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang chatting. It seemed that they were still up late at night talking about life and ideals just like in the plot.
This made Hao Shuai wonder: Shirley Yang went to Hu Bayi instead of chatting with him? Is it because he is not handsome enough or strong enough?
Hao Shuai fell into self-doubt, and then nothing happened. He had no interest in Shirley Yang anyway, so he turned over and continued to sleep.
In fact, it was not that Shirley Yang had never thought about chatting with Hao Shuai, but when she thought of Hao Shuai's elusive behavior and strange abilities, she gave up decisively out of fear of the unknown.
When Hao Shuai woke up, it was already six o'clock the next day.
The sandstorm outside has been blowing all night and has not stopped, but the wind is much weaker than before. It seems that this devilish sandstorm is finally coming to an end.
Hao Shuai knew that as soon as the black sand storm was over, the desert army ants would come out to look for food. In order to avoid being in a hurry, Hao Shuai woke up everyone first.
After getting up, everyone did not wash up. They directly heated up the mutton soup from last night and had breakfast with dried meat and dry food. After that, they packed up their things, sat and chatted, waiting for the black sandstorm to end before running away.
This wait lasted for more than three hours. It was around nine o'clock in the morning when the black sand storm gradually weakened.
"Look, there are ants here." Fatty Wang, who was counting ants out of boredom, actually found an ant on the sand.
Everyone looked around and saw a red ant as big as a knuckle with a black body and a blood-red tail at Fatty Wang's feet. It was the desert army ant that Hao Shuai had mentioned.
Hao Shuai, who originally wanted to wait until the black sand storm became smaller before setting off, immediately shouted: "Come on, the desert army ants know that the black sand storm is about to stop, and are starting to prepare to come out to look for food."
After hearing Hao Shuai's words, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they all ran out with their luggage.
Fortunately, due to adequate preparation, the group of people quickly left the temporary shelter before the large army of desert army ants came out.
When everyone left the broken house, they found that most of the ruins of the ancient city had been buried in the yellow sand. Perhaps after one or two big sandstorms, this nameless ancient city would be completely buried in the desert!
But now everyone didn't care to sigh about this. Under the leadership of Hu Bayi, the group hurriedly climbed onto the camels, and then led the way by An Liman and ran quickly towards the distance. Now only Hao Shuai was left.
Standing there alone.
Everyone was not surprised that Hao Shuai was left alone. They knew that he was very capable and no one was worried about his safety.
…
At this time, Hao Shuai, who was standing alone in the desert, didn't care about Hu Bayi's itinerary. He was focusing on sensing the situation in the desert.
It's a pity that Hao Shuai's telekinesis can't penetrate objects yet, and he hasn't developed his spiritual consciousness yet, so he can't detect the situation underground. He can only vaguely sense that there are countless things surging underground and about to break out of the ground at any time.
Suddenly, more than a dozen large holes appeared on the sand surface, and countless desert army ants spewed out like fountains. They were so densely packed that it made people's scalp tense. This made people with trypophobia probably have symptoms on the spot when they saw it.
Within a short time, desert army ants had already swarmed the entire ruins of the ancient city. Many animals fleeing from the sandstorm escaped from those dilapidated houses. Wild animals such as gazelles, wild camels, wild wolves, and gerbils were all running for their lives in a panic.
Some animals ran a little slower and were immediately covered by the tide of desert army ants. In almost a blink of an eye, they were chewed into skeletons.
Fortunately, Hao Shuai had already used his telekinesis to get ten centimeters off the ground and successfully avoided the ants. However, Hao Shuai, who was very curious, still leaned down and put his right hand into the ant pile.
In just an instant, his right hand was crawling with hundreds of army ants. Hao Shuai only felt that there were ants crawling over his right hand, but there was no feeling of ants gnawing or formic acid corrosion.
It seems that my invincible golden body is still very awesome! Even the desert army ants can't bite through my skin, and then I spit it out with all my strength, killing all the ants on my right hand!
At this time, Hao Shuai sensed that something big was about to come out from behind a broken wall. Sure enough, within a short while, a lamb-like desert army ant crashed into the broken wall and got out.
With such a large body and six pairs of large transparent wings, the queen ant probably comes out to let out air and replenish nutrients.
Seeing that his target finally appeared, Hao Shuai did not hesitate and directly used his telekinesis to control the queen ant in mid-air, and then flew in the direction where Hu Bayi and the others disappeared.
The desert army ants on the ground suddenly fell into chaos because of the disappearance of the queen, as if the headquarters of an army had been taken away.
When Hu Bayi and the others saw Hao Shuai running quickly to catch up with them, they were no longer surprised, but they were all interested in the queen ant that Hao Shuai killed in his hands.
After all, this is the first time they have seen an ant as big as a lamb.
"When we get to Xiye Ancient City, I will roast ants for you to eat and give you protein." Hao Shuai got on his camel and tied the queen ant to the hump.
"Hao Daozhang, can you still eat these ants?" curious baby Sa Di Peng asked.
"Don't you know this? This ant is a treasure house of micro-animal nutrition. It contains trace elements, amino acids and multiple vitamins necessary for the human body. It can also cure many diseases, effectively increase appetite, help sleep, relieve fatigue, and improve health.
It nourishes the spirit, replenishes energy, beautifies the skin, strengthens the muscles and bones, resists aging and prolongs life. It can be said that the whole body is full of treasures!”
Hao Shuai's popular science made everyone suddenly feel a little excited.
