“Old Hu, Fatty, save them!”
Shirley Yang said coldly.
She took out several cylinders from the backpack hanging on the camel.
“Save them if you can, don't force it,”
“It's not worth losing your own life for this!”
By the end, Shirley Yang's tone was cold and somewhat… impatient!
She seemed to be annoyed by the way Hao Ai Guo and his group kept dragging their feet!
She didn't call Han Li.
Because they had agreed beforehand that Han Li wouldn't save them.
So…
She had to do it herself.
Han Li stood there, watching the three people go to the rescue.
When Shirley Yang threw out several tear gas canisters, thick smoke billowed up!
Attracting a large number of army ants in the surrounding area to gather…
Han Li's dantian sank, he circulated his celestial energy, and formed a hand gesture—
Ruin!
The cloth bag hanging from the roof beams bulged slightly…
The next moment!
It ignited spontaneously!
Nearly a hundred fire bugs swooped down, following the giant stone statue's eyeballs, and entered the ground below!
The ant nest underground was empty!
The army ants left behind to guard it couldn't put up any resistance!
The fire bugs directly charged into the ant queen's nest!
They pounced on it!
“They're retreating, the army ants are retreating!”
“Cough… Damn it, those imperialistic tear gas canisters are really strong!”
“Wuwuwu, Sister Yang, I thought I would never see you again!”
…
Seeing the army ants suddenly scatter.
Shirley Yang, whose rescue went much smoother than she had expected, felt a bit puzzled.
Old Hu, who was beside her, also felt something was wrong.
Tear gas does have the function of driving away army ants…
But in the face of flames that can burn them directly, the army ants would still charge forward without fear of death!
Why were they suddenly retreating now?
Doubt was doubt.
But being able to successfully rescue them was naturally a good thing.
When everyone came back.
A small bump appeared again on the desert!
It immediately scared everyone to the point of panic…
Boom!
The sandbag burst open, and more than ten familiar fire bugs flew out!
Under the sunlight, these fire bugs had a silver shimmer on their shells that they didn't have before!
In addition!
These fire bugs were all slightly larger, and the teeth on their upper jaws were also noticeably bigger.
This evolution was destined to be cruel.
Although they had directly attacked the empty ant nest under the premise of 'luring the tiger away from the mountain'.
But nearly a hundred fire bugs, facing the queen, only these ten or so survived in the end.
However!
The results were also gratifying!
Obvious evolutionary characteristics!
Given time, they might really become terrifying creatures like the golden-eating insects!
Seeing Han Li put the fire bugs into his sleeve, this scene once again shocked everyone!
“Brother Han… no, the three who walk together must have a teacher among them, even though I'm a few years older, I still have to call you Brother Li!”
“From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say!”
At this time.
A complex expression appeared on Chu Jian's face.
As if he were renouncing darkness and turning to the light, he expressed his attitude:
“Right, it wasn't that I wasn't listening, it was the teacher…”
“The teacher thought that the path we were taking attracted most of the army ants' attention, so he took a different path!”
Ye Yixin, who was crying with red eyes, also sniffed and said:
“Yes, it wasn't that we weren't listening, it was the teacher who dragged us there!”
Hao Ai Guo, who had been silent and looked dusty, angrily said, “You two…”
“Alright, Ai Guo!”
Professor Chen shouted!
Everyone could feel the anger of the usually gentle old professor at this moment!
“If you want to make a mistake, don't implicate your students!”
“Little Chu, Little Ye are both very young, don't harm them!”
Faced with the merciless scolding of his mentor in front of everyone.
Hao Ai Guo's face turned green as he hung his head low.
His cheeks twitched, as if he had been slapped several times in public!
“Alright, alright, let's all get on our way.”
Old Hu stepped forward to smooth things over and urged everyone to continue on their journey.
“Not good, we were running too fast, we dropped a lot of supplies!”
“Where's my water bottle? Little Ye, did you see my water bottle?”
“I'm out of water, pour me some more!”
Just then.
A big problem arose during the inventory of supplies before they continued their journey.
Whether it was the black sandstorm or the army ants—
They were all rushing to escape for their lives.
They had lost a lot of supplies!
Especially water resources, they were already scarce, they had to replenish their water resources.
“Uncle Anliman, see if there's any place nearby where we can replenish water.”
Old Hu, being the guide, took the initiative to ask Anliman.
After all, Anliman was a living map of the desert, only he knew the desert environment like the back of his hand.
“I don't know either!”
The Fatty immediately rolled his eyes when he heard that, “Old man, don't joke!”
“I'm not kidding you, with Han Xiaoge here, I dare not lie to you even more!”
Anliman felt wronged, he spread his hands and said, “It's the windy season now, the sand dunes are shifting quickly…”
“Unless it's a stable water source that has been there for years!”
“Otherwise, once the wind blows sand, there might have been water last year, but now it might be buried under sand!”
Restlessness once again spread among the archaeological team.
In the desert, even a little less water is uncomfortable, if you don't have water to drink…
You'll probably be roasted alive!
“Is there really no way? Should we turn back?”
Chu Jian pursed his dry lips and said, “If we really can't hold on, we can still kill the camels!”
Chu Jian's words instantly reminded the archaeological team, everyone's eyes lit up again!
Yes!
They could still kill camels, as an emergency measure!
“No!”
“You can't kill my camels!”
Over here.
Anliman shouted nervously and fiercely.
These camels were his treasures!
Moreover.
Back then, if it hadn't been for meeting the legendary white camel, leading him to find a water source, and saving his life.
He would have died long ago!
Camels had a special meaning in his heart!
If anyone dared to touch his camels, he would fight that person to the death!
“Uncle Anliman, don't be nervous, we won't kill your camels!”
Old Hu spoke, trying to calm Anliman down.
“I don't believe you, I don't trust you!”
Anliman shook his head repeatedly.
He also nervously looked at Han Li…
He was afraid that Han Li would agree to kill the camels!
“Anliman is just your guide, these camels are his personal property, they have nothing to do with the archaeological team!”
Han Li's face was calm, he said flatly, “And, I have to tell you something…”
“Anliman is now my man!”
“Killing his camels is like killing my camels!”
“Don't blame me for being ruthless, it's your own fault that things have turned out this way.”
“After entering the desert, I reminded you of the preciousness of water resources!”
When he finished speaking.
Hao Ai Guo's lowered head couldn't be raised even more.
The others also looked ashamed.
Old Hu and the Fatty exchanged a grateful look.
They had followed Han Li's example and secretly kept a watchful eye, their current water supply was enough for them to survive for seven or eight days, no problem.
“Han Xiaoge, thank you, heaven will bless you!”
Anliman was overcome with gratitude, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply in prayer.
“Uncle Anliman, we won't kill your camels.”
At this time.
Shirley Yang spoke, “But you're the guide, I hope you think about it, and try to help find a source of water…”
