Chapter 27: Fire Beetle + Army Ants = Gold-Eating Worm? Sherry Yang Withheld Information!
Facing An Li Man's charade, Han Li smiled silently.
His divine sense sensed the massive ant nest buried deep beneath his feet.
Each army ant emanated a powerful life signature...
Especially at the bottom.
The ant queen, protected and surrounded by the army ants.
The life signature it displayed was no weaker than the prehistoric giant salamander!
To outsiders, these desert army ants were terrifying creatures that threatened life.
But to Han Li...
He couldn't wait for these army ants to emerge from the ground!
Because these were good materials to help the fire beetles evolve!
The fire beetles that had eaten the prehistoric giant salamander and survived were no longer afraid of water.
If they ate army ants.
Gaining the army ants' ability to 'dig' and the even more terrifying ability to 'gnaw' -
Fire beetle + army ant =...
Gold-Eating Worm?!
At least it would be evolving towards the direction of a Gold-Eating Worm!
Therefore...
He allowed everyone to fuss over the giant eye statue.
As for whether they would get into trouble...
That was their own doing.
Moreover -
He wanted to find an opportunity to observe this giant eye statue...
To see if he could gain anything, comprehend the next inheritance of Han Tianzun.
...
“You don't understand, we are conducting scientific research, not messing around!”
Over here.
Hao Ai Guo seized the opportunity to coldly retort to An Li Man.
“Old brother, don't worry.”
Professor Chen smiled kindly:
“But you, you are first talking about the Great One, then spirits, then gods... what do you actually believe in?”
An Li Man replied matter-of-factly: “Whoever is good to me, I believe in them. Anyway, we just can't touch it!”
“Okay, okay, we won't touch it!”
Seeing An Li Man's increasingly agitated reaction, Professor Chen played it safe:
“Everyone is tired after a day, let's get some rest.”
However.
He still gestured to Hao Ai Guo, Chu Jian, and Ye Yi Xin with his eyes.
To continue looking for opportunities to study this giant eye statue archaeologically.
“Good night!”
“Everyone, rest up!”
After a day of ups and downs.
Everyone was exhausted and soon crawled into their sleeping bags and drifted off to sleep.
At night, they took turns on watch duty.
In this matter, Han Li undoubtedly had special privileges...
If he didn't want to, everyone here... except for Hao Ai Guo, would probably agree.
However.
Han Li didn't crave this little 'privilege'.
He could take advantage of the quiet night with no one bothering him and observe that giant eye statue.
“Little Han, you go get some more sleep.”
Han Li took over from Old Hu.
Old Hu smiled and waved his hand: “You were running around in the black sandstorm all day...”
“Old Hu, I'll sleep a little less, it's okay.”
“But if you sleep less and get drowsy... you'll need me to save you, that will waste my energy.”
Facing Old Hu's kindness, Han Li acknowledged it and declined in a teasing tone.
His words came out.
Old Hu was taken aback, as if he found it reasonable.
He shook his head and got up, walking towards his sleeping bag...
Before he could lie down.
The Pangzi beside him seemed not to be asleep yet, sensing some movement.
He winked suggestively -
Old Hu curiously looked over.
He saw Sherry Yang waking up on the other side and walking towards Han Li.
“Go to sleep, don't spoil Little Han's good time.”
Hearing Pangzi's whispers, Old Hu chuckled and crawled into his sleeping bag.
Han Li, who was staring at the giant eye statue in the distance, raised an eyebrow slightly.
He glanced at Sherry Yang who was walking over, a little surprised...
She had taken a little nap.
Her curly hair was fluffy, her eyes were sleepy, but it made the cold beauty look even more lazy and charming.
“Chat?”
Facing this suggestion.
Han Li, who hadn't comprehended any inheritance from the giant eye statue, nodded without refusal.
At the same time, he was also curious...
What did Sherry Yang want to say?
“Ever since my father disappeared, I've been having the same dream almost every night.”
“I always dream of a dark hole, with a coffin hanging in it, inscribed with Ghost Hole script...”
“There's something lying on the coffin, whenever I try to see clearly, I suddenly wake up.”
“For the past six months, I've been repeating the same scene in my dream!”
“I feel like it's my father sending me a dream...”
“I'm curious, what has been attracting my father to research Ghost Hole culture and search for the ancient city of Jingjue all these years?”
Sherry Yang said, her beautiful eyes looking at Han Li: “Before we came here, you seemed to understand Ghost Hole script, obviously you must have seen some materials or done some research!”
“I'd like to ask, do you have any clues you can tell me?”
Han Li smiled.
Sherry Yang's beautiful eyes were bright, looking at him expectantly.
However, Han Li's smile was a little playful...
“Miss Yang, don't you really know... what attracted your father?”
“Or are you really just here to find this reason, to embark on this archaeological journey to find the ancient city of Jingjue?”
The words fell!
The wind howled!
The bonfire flickered, casting shadows on Sherry Yang's pretty face.
Her beautiful eyes shifted from anticipation to coldness!
