The sandstorm was indeed a little smaller the next day. As expected, the archaeological team had another accident. They dug out a giant-eyed figure. Several nerds gathered around to study it. An Liman told them many times that the thing could not be moved. They How can I listen? Professor Hao made another great point, and Amway was so angry that he walked out of the room and stayed with us. I saw that the storm had subsided a bit, so I asked Amway if we could hit the road again at noon. An Liman looked at the weather and said, it should be fine. The storm is almost over.

While we were talking outside, something happened inside the house. The archaeological team members and Shirley Yang were surrounded by many large ants, and everyone was beating on them. Seeing that the situation was not good, Fatty Lao Hu and I took out the medicinal powder, sprinkled it inside and tried to get as many people out as possible. Fortunately, the medicinal powder worked. No ants came after us where we sprinkled the medicinal powder. Everyone jumped on the roof. Only Chu Jian was still rolling and screaming. I had no choice but to jump down. When I walked in, I saw Chu Jian. One of his feet had been eaten by ants until only bones were left. I couldn't care less, so I sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on Chu Jian, then picked up Chu Jian's clothes and threw him out of the hole in the roof.

Lao Hu and the others dragged Chu Jian away to a place where there were no ants. Everyone was horrified when they saw his injuries. I have Qinglong bloodline, and those ants have not attacked me for the time being. I returned to the outside of the house while spreading the powder. At this time, everyone had already run away, and An Liman also led the camel to a safe place. I sprinkled the pesticide powder as I walked, and the ants did not chase me again, but launched an attack on the animals hiding behind the earth wall.

We all saw helplessly in the distance that a few wild wolves and yellow sheep were eaten until only their bones were left. Perhaps because they had enough food, the group of ants retreated back to their original house. Only then could we sit down and rest for a while. I took out the medical kit from my backpack. No matter what, we have to treat Chu Jian's injuries first. Chu Jian has fainted now. Chu Jian's injuries are very strange. There is no flesh and blood at all where the bones are. The places where there is flesh are no longer bleeding. It seems that it is ants. When eating prey, it also secretes formic acid, which erodes the flesh and blood, so no blood is visible. But I think it won’t take long for the eroded flesh and blood to begin to rot. Now all I can do is temporarily seal the blood vessels in the leg with silver needles. I can only wait until I get to a big hospital for amputation. I bandaged him temporarily. Then he took out a powerful anesthetic pill from the medicine box and gave it to him to take, which would ensure that he would not wake up from pain. No one can bear the pain when formic acid enters the human body.

After doing this, I walked up to Professor Chen and told him that Chu Jian's injury needed to be treated in a large hospital as soon as possible. I could only deal with it temporarily now. What should we do now? Should we go back? Professor Chen's face was filled with regret. I shouldn't have brought these children into the desert. How should I explain this to their parents? Professor Chen and I told him that if we go back now, we might be able to save Chu Jian’s life. At this time, Shirley Yang said, you go back, I must go to Jingjue Ancient City.

I know she has a reason to go. Now we can only divide the troops into two groups. I told Professor Chen that I have an idea, that is, you and your students will go back together with Amway, and I will accompany you and Fatty Lao Hu. Shirley Yang continues to patrol the ancient city of Jingjue. Perhaps the scene just now really scared these students. They were not saying that they must go to Jingjue Ancient City. Their eyes were filled with the desire to go home. Professor Chen looked at his students and then made a decision. Xiao Hao took the students and Amway back. Why should I take a look at the ancient city of Jingjue? I am already old, and it would not be unjust to die in the desert. You are different. You will still have plenty of opportunities to enter the desert when you are still young.

Professor Hao did not insist this time. He could not watch something happen to his students. So he agreed, we distributed water and food, and then asked Amway to take them out of the desert. We will give him the money back when we get back. An Li was happy to hear that he didn't need to move on anymore, and promised us to get him out of the desert safely.

The reason why I have the confidence to continue walking with Shirley Yang is because when I was in La Anliman yesterday, I copied his memory and his ability to find water in the desert. Otherwise, I just want to go home now. I will not go into the desert without safety protection....

Seeing Professor Hao taking away all the students, Lao Hu told me, Xiaobei, are you sure? If not, let’s go back. I looked at Old Hu and said, Brother Hu, do you believe me? Lao Hu looked at my sincere eyes and thought of my magical abilities. He nodded,"I believe you, let's move on." The fat man came over and patted both of our shoulders and said,"Yes, there is Xiaobei, and the big baby is facing me." We were waving, so Lao Hu and I turned back to glare at him, then pulled the remaining camels and moved on. I looked at the sky and took out the compass, then pointed in the direction, let's go.

We walked very easily without the burden. Judging from Shirley Yang's current expression, she may also feel that it is too tiring to carry several children. Now she can speed up the pace. We only need to take care of Professor Chen. I would also take out pills for Professor Chen from time to time on the way, so he was still in good condition after walking all day.

It was almost evening, and we saw ancient ruins appearing in front of us from a distance. I said that the ancient city of Xiye should be in front of us. We can spend the night here tonight. I heard that there are ancient wells in this ancient city that are not dry all year round.

Professor Chen seemed to come alive when we entered the ancient city. He excitedly talked about the origin of this ancient city and that it was a treasure of Western Region culture, but none of us were interested in this. I said that European explorers visited this ancient city in the last century, and in the following hundred years, countless explorers came here to rob tombs. It looks fine from the outside now, but in fact there is nothing left inside. When Fatty Wang heard that there was nothing left, he suddenly lost interest. Professor Chen also sighed and said it was too late to protect him.

We found a relatively complete house in the ancient city and planned to rest here. We also found the well nearby. There was indeed water in the well, and the water was relatively clean. We can get some dried meat and make some soup tonight. We have been in a state of water shortage along the way. If we could not replenish water here, we would have to go back home.

After dinner, I took another look at Professor Chen's body. After confirming that the little old man's physical condition was okay, I gave him a pill to let him have a good rest. I told Shirley Yang that she should go to bed early and that the three of us would stay overnight. Then I gave her a pill. Shirley Yang curiously took the pill and asked what it was. I smiled and said, this is a secret recipe passed down from my family to replenish qi and blood. You will know the effect after eating it.

Watching Shirley Yang take the medicine and get into the sleeping bag, I also left the house and saw Lao Hu sitting on the sand in a daze, so I walked over and sat with Lao Hu while the fat man walked around the city and looked at When there was really nothing left, he just said goodbye to us and went back to the house to sleep. He was scheduled to be on the last shift today, so he had to go to bed early. Before he left, I handed him a pill. When I gave it to him, he asked what kind of medicine it was and just put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

Lao Hu smoked a cigarette and said,"This job is not easy to do. I don't know what dangers there are if we go further in. Should we still go?" I smiled and said, we have collected the money, so we have to stay with us until the end. Besides, I also want to see what Jingjue Ancient City is like.
