From the standstill of time, across the heavens

###391 Chapter Six Winged Ant Queen Enters the Pot###

"Fatty, if you want to go out, go out yourself." Hao Shuai gave Fatty Wang a white look, and said, "If you go out, you will definitely die. If you don't go out, you may not die. You can choose yourself!"

"Aren't I worried about the desert army ants?" Fatty Wang laughed.

"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 that it's dangerous to come out." Hao Shuai comforted the frightened crowd.

The reason why Hao Shuai told them the situation here was mainly because he was afraid that Professor Chen and other archaeologists would dig the stone sculpture like in the plot when Hao Shuai was asleep.

Although Hao Shuai has an invincible golden body and is not afraid of the desert army ants, he really doesn't want to wake up with ants all over his body.

"Okay, everyone go to rest, we will retreat as soon as the black sandstorm stops." Hao Shuai saw that the faces of the people were no longer so scared, so he asked them to go to rest early.

After they all lay down, Hao Shuai pulled Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang over, and the three of them came to the corner and said, "Old Hu, Fatty, the three of us will take turns to be on duty tonight. First, be careful not to cover the hole with sand." The second is to prevent those archaeological teammates from digging indiscriminately and provoke the desert marching ants."

"Understood."*2

After that, the three of Hao Shuai decided on the order of duty, Hao Shuai first, Hu Bayi in the middle, and Fatty Wang last.

After the decision was made, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang went to bed first, while Hao Shuai sat cross-legged by the campfire to cultivate his mana.

It stands to reason that there should be no spiritual energy in the Dharma-ending Age, but perhaps because of supernatural phenomena in this world, Hao Shuai can still sense a trace of spiritual energy.

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 voices of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang chatting, thinking that they were still the same as in the plot, staying up in the middle of the night talking about life and ideals.

This made Hao Shuai wonder: Shirley Yang went to Hu Bayi instead of chatting with him?Could it be that he is not handsome enough or strong enough?

Hao Shuai fell into self-doubt, and then there was no more. Anyway, he had no interest in Shirley Yang, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

In fact, it's not that Shirley Yang never thought about chatting with Hao Shuai, but when she thought of Hao Shuai's elusive behavior and strange abilities, out of fear of the unknown, she gave up decisively.

When Hao Shuai woke up, it was already six o'clock the next day.

The sandstorm outside has been blowing all night without stopping, 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 sandstorm was over, it was when the desert army ants came out to forage, so Hao Shuai woke up everyone first in order to be in a hurry.

The people didn't wash up after getting up, they directly heated up the mutton soup from last night, and solved the breakfast problem with jerky and dry food. After that, they packed up their things, sat and chatted, and ran away when the black sandstorm was over.

This wait lasted for more than three hours, and the black sandstorm gradually weakened after nine o'clock in the morning.

"Look, there are ants here." Fatty Wang, who was bored counting ants, really found an ant on the sand.

Everyone searched for the reputation, and saw under Fatty Wang's feet, a red ant with a black body, a blood-red tail, and the size of a knuckle. It was the desert marching ant that Hao Shuai had mentioned.

Hao Shuai, who originally wanted to wait for the black sandstorm to calm down before setting off, immediately shouted: "Go, the desert marching ants know that the black sandstorm is about to stop, and are starting to come out to look for food."

After hearing Hao Shuai's words, everyone's face changed drastically, and they ran out with their luggage.

Fortunately, due to adequate preparations, the group quickly left the temporary shelter before the large army of desert marching ants came out.

When everyone left the dilapidated house, they found that most of the ruins of this ancient city had been buried in the yellow sand. Maybe after one or two big sandstorms, this unknown ancient city would be completely buried in the desert!

But now everyone can't care about feeling these things anymore. Under the leadership of Hu Bayi, a group of people hurriedly climbed onto the camel, and then quickly ran to the distance under the guidance of An Liman. Now only Hao Shuai is left alone. Standing alone.

Everyone was no stranger to Hao Shuai staying alone. They knew that he was capable and strong, 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 trying his best to sense the situation in the desert.

It's a pity that Hao Shuai's telekinesis can't penetrate objects, and he hasn't cultivated spiritual consciousness yet, so he can't detect the situation underground. He can only vaguely perceive that there are countless things surging underground, ready to break through the ground at any time.

Suddenly, more than a dozen big holes popped up on the sand surface, and countless desert army ants spewed out like a fountain, densely packed, making people's scalp tense. When people with trypophobia saw this, they probably had symptoms on the spot.

In just a short while, the desert army ants had densely covered the entire ruins of the ancient city. Many animals escaped from the sandstorm, such as gazelles, wild camels, wild wolves, gerbils and other wild animals, all running for their lives in panic.

Some animals ran a little slower, and were immediately covered by the tide of desert army ants, and were gnawed into skeletons almost in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Hao Shuai was already ten centimeters away from the ground with his thoughts, successfully avoiding the erosion of the ants, but the curious Hao Shuai still bent down and put his right hand into the ant pile.

In an instant, the right hand was covered with hundreds of marching ants. Hao Shuai only felt the feeling of ants crawling over his right hand, but there was no feeling of ants gnawing or formic acid corrosion.

It seems that his invincible golden body is still very powerful!Even the desert army ants couldn't bite through their own skin, and when they vomited forcefully, they killed all the ants on their right hand!

At this time, Hao Shuai sensed that something big was coming out from behind a broken wall. Sure enough, a lamb-like desert army ant crashed into the broken wall and got out after a while.

Such a big body, with six pairs of transparent large wings, should be the queen ant who comes out to let the wind out and supplement nutrition by the way.

Seeing that his target finally appeared, Hao Shuai didn't hesitate, and directly controlled the ant queen in mid-air with his mind, and then flew towards 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 fast to catch up with them, they were not surprised, but they were all interested in the ant queen killed by Hao Shuai.

After all, it was the first time they had seen ants the size of lambs when they grew up so big.

"When we get to Xiye Ancient City, I'll roast ants for you to eat and supplement your protein." Hao Shuai got on his camel and tied the queen of ants to the hump.

"Hao Daoist, are these ants still edible?" asked the curious baby Sa Dipeng.

"Don't you guys know this? This ant is a treasure trove of micro-animal nutrition. It contains essential trace elements, amino acids and multi-vitamins. It can also cure a variety of diseases, and can effectively increase appetite, help sleep, relieve fatigue, and improve blood circulation. Spirituality, strength, beauty, strong muscles and bones, anti-aging, life extension, it can be said that the whole body is a treasure!"

Hao Shuai's science popularization made everyone suddenly have a meal.

###392 Chapter Xiye Ancient City###

According to An Liman, Hao Shuai and the others were still more than half a day away from the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye at this time, so in order to feel the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye before dark, Hao Shuai and the others decided to travel during the day.

You must know that in the desert, people with some experience know that they can't travel during the day, but there is still plenty of water, and they can replenish fresh water when they reach West Night City, so they marched in the desert under the scorching sun.

The desert is vast and boundless. If it weren't for the long footprints behind me, I wouldn't even feel that I was moving forward.

Finally, at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the ruins of Xiye Ancient City.

The ruins of Xiye City are well preserved, and the city is relatively late. It was not destroyed by war until the end of Tang Dynasty, and it has been abandoned until now.At the beginning of the [-]th century, German explorers discovered this place and looted most of the murals and statues in the ruins and other cultural relics of artistic value.

There is only this empty city left in the desert, the oldest ancient channel of the Kongque River, and it ends here.Since ancient times to the present, underground water veins have passed through the city all year round, so it has become an important supply point for travelers in the desert.

After setting up camp near a well, Hao Shuai said while roasting the queen, "We will rest in this ancient city for two days before setting off. Everyone, try to eat and drink as much as possible to store up your energy in these two days."

An Liman and Hu Bayi first agreed to Hao Shuai's suggestion. An Liman felt sorry for his camel, who had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

But Hu Bayi was really worried that Professor Chen and the others would not be able to take it anymore, let alone them, Hu Bayi himself felt almost exhausted.

Although Professor Chen and the others wanted to act quickly, they all knew Hao Shuai's uncompromising character after getting along during this time, and they knew that he was doing it for everyone's benefit, so they agreed.

"It's delicious!"

As the ant queen gradually turned golden yellow, the fragrance gradually wafted out, causing Ye Yixin to cry out, and the others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Come on, let's all taste how the six-winged ant queen tastes."

Soon, the queen ant was finished roasting, Hao Shuai did his part to share one-third, and Hu Bayi and the others divided the remaining two-thirds among themselves.

"Kah~~ It's so delicious!"

This queen ant is fat and fat, and her body is basically full of protein and fat. After one bite, there is a fragrance in the burnt yellow, oily but not greasy. meat.

Even the emperor Hao Shuai rarely tasted this kind of delicacy, after all, such a big queen ant is hard to find.

A group of people just gathered around the campfire, eating barbecue, drinking the vegetable soup contributed by Shirley Yang, and chatting, especially Fatty Wang bragging there.

But when Fatty Wang brags, he gets carried away, and almost reveals their fight in Niuxin Mountain. Fortunately, Hu Bayi reacted quickly, and immediately reminded Fatty Wang with a cough, so he didn't say anything.

It's a pity that Hu Bayi and the others can't hide it from Professor Chen and the others, but they can't hide it from Shirley Yang, who was born in the Duodou family. At this time, Shirley Yang has already looked at the two of them suspiciously.

Seeing this, Hao Shuai at the side felt that there was an opportunity to call these three people out in the past two days, and have a frank and honest talk, because the two sides were always so suspicious of each other, which affected the unity of the team.

Hao Shuai also wanted to train Hu Bayi, the Iron Triangle, and when he became interested in the future, he would come to this world to fight with the three of them, hunt for treasure or something, and relax.

This is also the reason why Hao Shuai didn't dare to behave unscrupulously. He was afraid that the relevant departments would think about him, so he couldn't go out and mess around.

After eating and drinking, everyone started to wash up. Because of the problem of water resources, everyone didn't care much about washing up, especially the two women Ye Yixin and Xueli Yang, who didn't know how long they hadn't showered or washed their hair. .

Now that there is Gujing, he boiled water to wash without any scruples, and only Hao Shuai and Fatty Hu Bayi remained indifferent.

Hao Shuai doesn't need it. With his current strength, it is a basic operation to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and he often finds time to go to other worlds to take a bath.

Fatty Wang also wanted to wash up, but was dragged by Hu Bayi to smoke on the sand dunes not far away. Hao Shuai knew that it was Hu Bayi who went to educate Fatty Wang.

After the two chatted for a while, Hu Bayi hurried back, took out the compass from his package and placed it for a while, looking up at the stars in the sky from time to time.

Hu Bayi's behavior immediately caught the attention of Professor Chen and the others who were about to go to bed. They gathered around Hu Bayi one after another. Professor Chen asked curiously: "Comrade Hu, what did you find?"

After looking at it for a while, Hu Bayi replied: "Professor Chen, there should be a large tomb here, which is where a treasure land is located. Jumen star, Zuofu star, Youbi star, and three stars shine, arranged in an equilateral triangle, with the sun in the center. Xingtaiyinxing is obvious, what a group of Qianjiajinjixing."

None of the people present could understand the latter words, except Hao Shuai, a fake Taoist priest, but everyone really listened to the previous sentence 'there is a big tomb'.

"Where is it?" Hao Aiguo asked eagerly.

"It's in that well!" Hu Bayi still wanted to make calculations, but Hao Shuai directly said the answer.

"Aiguo, Xiao Chu, hurry up, get the tools, let's go to that well."

After getting the position, Professor Chen hurriedly ordered loudly, and then ran to Gujing with his legs free. Good guy, Professor Chen ran, even the two strong young men Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang Can't catch up with him.

Other members of the archaeological team also quickly ran to the ancient well with tools.

Hao Shuai slowly followed after seeing the team, which was full of morale all of a sudden, as if it had been beaten to death.

In fact, Hao Shuai thought that in order to save time, he planned to influence Hu Bayi and prevent him from discovering the ancient tomb in the well. Later, seeing that the team had been in the desert for so long, they had no gains for a while, which gradually weakened the morale of the archaeological team, and even caused They felt negative emotions, so they wanted to use the ancient tomb to stimulate Professor Chen's morale.

Now it seems that the effect is leveraged!

After some research, everyone determined that there was an underground river under the ancient well and a large tomb next to it, so they decided to go down to find out.

However, An Liman strongly opposed Professor Chen's digging of ancient tombs, and always believed that they were here to rob the tomb. No matter how Professor Chen explained that they belonged to the national archaeological team and not tomb robbers, it would not help.

Hao Shuai, who was watching from the sidelines, said to An Liman: National Archaeological Team?That's not the same as tomb robbery.I deeply agree with this statement, it is indeed the same, the only difference is that the archaeological team is legal.

In the end, after Professor Chen and the others painstakingly explained for a long time, An Liman angrily allowed them to go down.

However, out of safety considerations, Hu Bayi suggested that he go down to explore the road first, and after confirming that there is a tomb, organize Professor Chen and the others to go down the well.

Regarding Hu Bayi's safe opinion, Hao Shuai agreed. Although Hao Shuai also knew that there was no danger down here, he deliberately made unnecessary moves in order to let Professor Chen and the others know how to obey the arrangement.

Hu Bayi was very efficient, and completed the pathfinding work within ten minutes, confirming the existence of the ancient tomb below.

At this moment, Professor Chen and the others couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately prepared tools and planned to go down the well.

"Everyone is tired today, get a good night's rest first, and go down tomorrow morning!" Hao Shuai stepped forward to stop them.

"Hao Daoist, this~~" Professor Chen was a little anxious.

But when he saw Hao Shuai's unconsulting eyes, he could only say helplessly: "Okay!"

###393 Chapter Open and Honest Conversation###

The next morning, when Hao Shuai routinely woke up early to practice exercises, he found that Professor Chen and the others had already got up, set up their equipment, and were ready to go down the well.

Hao Shuai saw their spirits, and guessed that Professor Chen and the others must have been excited all night before getting up early in the morning.

For this, Hao Shuai was speechless and somewhat admirable.

Why did Hao Shuai want to protect Professor Chen and his party to go deep into the desert and explore the exquisite ancient city?

This is not the Holy Mother of Hao Shuai, who wants to be a nanny.He simply admired Professor Chen and the others.

The experts and professors at this time are not just the kind of rotten street bricks called beasts in the back. The intellectuals of this era have their inherent patriotic sentiments, full of the spirit of sacrificing their lives for the cause of the motherland.

So even though he knew that the people on the archaeological team were cheating and busy, Hao Shuai still patiently protected them all the way.

……

The tools were all ready, so Hao Shuai didn't worry about them not taking a good rest as he asked.

Knowing through the plot that the ancient tomb below is not dangerous, and that Professor Chen can't open the coffin, Hao Shuai just let them go, and didn't bother to follow along to join in the fun, so he went straight to find a place to practice martial arts.

After Hao Shuai finished warming up, he saw Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang coming out. Out of curiosity, Hao Shuai asked, "Old Hu, Fatty, why did you come out so quickly?"

"Hey ~ don't mention it, there are no treasures below, and the coffins are not opened, just listening to their stories there, I'm almost bored to death." Fatty Wang complained.

"God stick, don't listen to what the fat man said. It's Professor Chen and the others who are studying murals there. We are afraid that you will be bored, so we come up to accompany you." Hu Bayi said.

look~~

The same people who came out of the nine-year compulsory education, why is there such a big gap between people? !

The same thing, the words spoken by people who can speak are comfortable to listen to, even though they know it is false.
