Chapter 149: Desert Army Ants
The black sandstorm in the desert is really terrifying, and it will never end once it arrives. According to Wu Liang's speculation, it should last for a whole day and night. And everyone, like the original work, only discovered the stone statues in the house on the first night, but Just when those scholars wanted to dig it out for research, not only An Liman but also Wu Liang stood up and stopped them. Just kidding, it was good that it was sandstorm time, but if they were to disturb the desert army ants below, then this place would be Are you still there?
When Hao Aiguo heard this, he was shocked and said: "Brother, are you serious? We are really staying on a huge ant nest."
Not only Hao Aiguo, but everyone who heard what Wu Liang said looked at Wu Liang in horror. Seeing this, Wu Liang said: "I can sense that there are a large number of life forms under this house. They should be those desert army ants. But don’t worry, as long as the black sand storm doesn’t pass for a day, they won’t show up for a day.”
The fat man heard this and said, "Are you kidding? Don't worry. Don't worry. We are actually staying on an ant nest, and it's the desert army ants you mentioned." As he said this, he also pushed Hu Bayi with his hand. , said: "Old Hu, do you know what desert army ants are?"
Hu Bayi shook his head when he heard this, saying that he didn't know.
Yang Xueli, on the other hand, frowned and said, "Brother, are you sure those underneath are desert army ants? If so, we will be in danger."
Professor Chen heard this and said to Shirley Yang: "Shirley, do you know about these desert army ants?"
Hearing this, Yang Xueli nodded and said, "You know, I once saw a set of pictures in a magazine. It was a small town that was ravaged by desert army ants. After the desert army ants retreated, the town All the animals, plants, humans, poultry, and even everything edible inside were eaten up, the animals and people were chewed alive into bones, and the town became an empty city."
When Wu Di heard this, he was horrified: "Are you such an awesome ant that can chew a person alive into bones? How big is that?"
Hearing this, Yang Xueli said: "The smallest desert army ants are as big as a soybean, and the most terrifying thing about desert army ants is never their size. Generally, there are one to two million in a group. They are migratory ants, and Unlike ordinary ants, they do not build nests at all. They have been constantly moving, discovering and eating prey since they were born. This kind of ants has strong jaws and the bite force is much stronger than ordinary ants. When hunting, they Different attack groups will be formed to cooperate and fight, just like professional soldiers with strong weapons, so it gets its name.”
Hearing this, Hu Bayi said: "So these desert army ants also take refuge here."
Wu Liang nodded when he heard the words and said: "Well, that's why I say you don't dig down there. Once we alert them and make them mistakenly think that we are a threat, the consequences will be disastrous."
After hearing this, the students all stopped exploring and did not dare to dig any more. Fatty and Wu Di even walked lightly, fearing that a bunch of ants would emerge from under their feet in the next second.
Seeing this, Wu Liang was relieved. If we talk about normal desert army ants like those in the TV series, Wu Liang would not be afraid. However, according to Wu Liang's induction, the size of the desert army ants hidden underneath was huge. Not the ones as big as fingers, but all of them are as big as mice. This is not the most terrifying thing. According to Wu Liang's perception, the largest army ant below is as big as a calf. It must be the queen ant, so after Wu Liang sensed it, he stopped their digging behavior as soon as possible. Fortunately, all this did not alarm the desert army ants underneath.
After stopping them from touching the statues in the house, the intellectuals on the archaeological team felt a lot more at ease. Especially after knowing that there were desert army ants under the house, they did not dare to mess around. The disadvantage was that they were scared to do anything. They were all cautious and worried all day long. Seeing this, Wu Liang would not say anything. After all, what these archaeological experts like most is to seek death. Wu Liang would not put himself in danger for them or scare them. It's okay, it saves you messing around all day.
Fortunately, the black sandstorm finally passed the next morning, and the sky officially cleared up. This time, Wu Liang didn’t need to urge them. As soon as the sky cleared up, they immediately packed up and left the house. After getting on the camels, They feel at ease. However, is the queen ant really willing to leave the expedition team?
Sure enough, after everyone followed An Liman's route, several giant sandbags suddenly bulged out from the sand behind the team. As everyone was stunned, they suddenly exploded into groups of desert army ants the size of mice, chasing everyone. Come.
When An Liman saw this, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and said: "Sir Hu Da, what are these? Are there such big ants?"
Seeing this, the fat man kicked An Liman's camel and said, "You want to die, why don't you run away quickly?"
Hearing this, An Liman reacted and took everyone away quickly. The desert army ants were also very fast, and they bit behind the team. Seeing this, Wu Liang said to Shirley Yang: "Miss Yang , Don’t you have tear gas? Hurry and throw it back.”
Wu Liang didn't know that tear gas would not be effective against the desert army ants as big as mice behind them, but Wu Liang couldn't think about the current situation. After all, this sea of ants was too terrifying.
When Yang Xueli, who was in front of Wu Liang, heard Wu Liang's words, her eyes lit up and she immediately took out two tear gas canisters from her backpack. After pulling the safety button, she immediately threw them behind her. Suddenly, bursts of thick smoke erupted from the sea of ants. It actually slowed down the ant colony that was chasing after them a little.
Seeing that the tear gas was effective, Wu Liang immediately said to Yang Xueli: "Ms. Yang, are there any more? This tear gas is effective."
Hearing this, Yang Xueli looked at Wu Liang with an expression that was about to cry but had no tears, and said: "No, I only have two."
Seeing this, Wu Liang was speechless. He could only turn around and take out the grenades he had obtained from the Japanese fortress from his pocket, and threw them behind him one by one. Suddenly the ant colony was blown up everywhere, but for the huge ants As far as the group is concerned, those ants killed by the explosion are nothing.
A group of people were galloping in front of them on camels. Behind them, there was an overwhelming swarm of desert marching ants that would not let go. Wu Liang had thrown all his grenades and fired all his firearms and bullets, but the ant swarm behind him did not seem to decrease at all. When everyone saw this, their faces turned bitter. Wu Di was so frightened that he lay on the camel and said to Wu Liang: "Brother Wu Liang, whatever means you have, use them. Otherwise, if this continues, we will all be killed by these things." The ants ate everything till nothing was left.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Liang with hope. Seeing this, Wu Liang said: "No, I only had so many firearms and ammunition in the Japanese fortress. They were all used up. What's left is just We can rely on ourselves now, Mud, what’s going on with this ant colony? It’s been chasing us for more than ten kilometers and it still won’t retreat.”
After Wu Liang finished speaking, he pulled out the Bie Yun Sword on his back. When Luo Tuo was sad, he summoned his spiritual energy and struck it with sword energy behind his back.
Immediately, a five or six meter long sword energy was thrown out from Wu Liang's sword and landed on the ant colony behind him. A wide opening of five or six meters long was immediately cleared. Seeing this, everyone was fired up again. There was hope for survival.
This sword energy used 1% of Wu Liang's spiritual energy, and it recovered in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Wu Liang's tense heart also relaxed slightly, and said to Celia in his mind: "Celia "What's going on with these desert army ants? Why are they biting us and not letting go? If we want to talk about food, there are more animals in our hiding place. Why are they chasing us?"
Hearing this, Celia said calmly: "Have you seen the queen ant again? She just went to deal with those animals. After she eats, she will come up to deal with you. You can just take care of yourself."
When Wu Liang heard this, he immediately leaned closer, then looked at the slowly recovering ant colony behind him, his heart suddenly became fierce, and then he violently bombarded the ant colony behind him with sword energy as if he wanted no money, killing the ant colony behind him hard. A gap was created, so that the ant colony behind him did not dare to pursue it for a while, and Wu Liang was so tired that he took advantage of the time when the ant colony stayed to lie on the camel to recover his physical and spiritual power. Fortunately, Wu Liang's The body's physical condition is still there, and as long as you bask in the sun, your physical strength and spiritual power will recover quickly.
Wu Liang's ferocity also stunned the archaeological team members in front, and Professor Hao opened his eyes wide and could not say a word.
When Hu Bayi saw that the ants behind him were not chasing him, he slowed down his camel and came to Wu Liang's side, saying: "Brother, it seems that I have underestimated your strength. Such a large sea of ants is so hard." You have been able to create a gap in life, so awesome."
When Wu Liang heard this, his tense face did not relax. Instead, he said to Hu Ba: "Stop talking nonsense and speed up the camel. The real big guys haven't arrived yet. These are just pawns." Wu Liang After Liang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to recover his spiritual power, letting the camel lead him forward quickly with the team.
When Hu Ba saw this, he stopped talking and hurried on at full speed.
There was not much time left for Wu Liang to recover his strength, only half an hour, and the physical strength of the camels also dropped rapidly while they were running at full speed. Sensing the speed of the camels dropped, Wu Liang opened his eyes and looked behind him. Fortunately, the sea of ants was no longer visible, and after half an hour of recovery, Wu Liang's spiritual power also recovered to the fourth level. Seeing everyone stop, he slowed down the camel and joined the team.
After everyone stopped, An Liman began to feed the camels fodder and bean cakes to restore their strength, and everyone also took the time to eat and rest.
Seeing that five years had passed, Professor Chen quickly stood up and thanked Wu Liang: "Thanks to you again, little brother, for blocking the ant colony. Without you, we would have been just one of the dry bones in the desert." Well, thank you very much."
When Wu Liang heard this, he waved his hands and said nothing. Instead, he sat down and ate to regain his strength. The previous bombing was satisfying, but after the excitement, it brought about both mental and physical fatigue. He recovered on the camel. In half an hour, although most of the physical strength was restored, the mental exhaustion could not be recovered in a short time.
When everyone saw Wu Liang closing his eyes and recovering his mental strength, they stopped disturbing Wu Liang and confirmed the route with An Liman. After all, although An Liman led the way, who knew in the panic whether he had gone wrong.
An Liman looked at the map, and then after comparing the surrounding environment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to his camel: "Xiao Hong, do you remember this place? Does the surrounding environment look familiar? ah"
As soon as Hu Ba saw this, he immediately asked: "Old man, do you know where this is? We don't have much water, and we must confirm how long it will take to get to the next supply point."
An Liman saw this and said: "I think this place looks very familiar. It reminds me of the place where the white camel was my life. There should be a water source nearby."
When Hu Bayi heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "How to get around here?"
Hearing this, An Liman climbed up to the highest sand dune with Hu Bayi, looked at the surrounding environment, and said: "Go straight ahead, pass the sand dune in front, and there will be the ruins of a city over there. There is a well”
Professor Hao heard this and said excitedly: "Then go quickly, what are you waiting for?"
But at this moment, Wu Liang, who had been keeping his eyes closed, came to the back and said: "Everyone, hurry up and get on the camels and go to the ruins the old man mentioned. The big guy is coming."
When everyone heard the words, they immediately heard a buzzing sound, and then looking in the direction where Wu Liang was looking, they immediately saw a small dot on the horizon flying in the direction of everyone.
Seeing this, Yang Xueli took out the telescope and took a look. After just one look, she was so frightened that she threw down the telescope in her hand and stammered: "What is this? How can there be such a big ant?"
When Hu Bayi heard this, he immediately picked up the telescope that Yang Xueli had thrown down, looked at the black spot, then silently put away the telescope, and said: "Everyone, hurry up, leave this place to the little brother, let's not drag him down, stay here It will only become a burden.”
After hearing this, everyone quickly got on the camels, while the fat man rushed to Hu Bayi and said: "Old Hu, what did you and the American girl see? What is this buzzing sound about?"
Hearing this, Hu Bayi said: "It's better that you don't know and leave quickly."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he looked in the direction Wu Liang was facing without giving up. At this glance, he saw a scene that he could never forget in his life. It turned out that the little black dot was a flying ant the size of a calf. Judging from the shape, it should be a queen ant. Although he didn't know why a queen ant grew so big, it didn't stop him from being scared to death and desperately holding the camel's belly to make the camel speed up and speed up.
Wu Liang, at this time, once again drew out the Bie Yun Sword on his back, and fired a sword energy at the approaching queen ant, complaining: "Damn it, isn't this the ancient city in the game's counterattack?" Is that queen ant in the dungeon a part of the drama? Do you know?"
Although this sword energy was fast, the Queen Ant nimbly dodged it, and then charged towards Wu Liang waving her sharp front claws in the air.
Seeing this, Wu Liang could only raise the Bie Yun Sword to resist.
"boom"
The claws and swords intersected, and the huge force immediately drove Wu Liang into the sand. Wu Liang quickly turned over to avoid another impact from the queen, and then saw the right moment and fired a sword energy at the queen's back, and immediately knocked the queen away. One of the two pairs of huge thin wings was chopped off, preventing it from taking off.
After losing his air superiority, Wu Liang was no longer afraid of the queen ant. Instead, he stood still and slapped the queen, knocking off its front claws with one strike of sword energy, and then chopped off its legs with another strike of sword energy. Let it turn into a calf-sized maggot, lying round and neighing in the sand.
Seeing this, Wu Liang walked up to it, Bie Yunjian patted its big head, and said: "I let you chase me, let you be awesome, let you pretend to be cool, you are stupid, now it falls into my hands Here, I still want to live.”
With that said, Wu Liang raised his sword and wanted to chop off its head to end its life, but Celia stopped him and said: "A-Liang, don't kill it, it can still be useful if you keep it."
