Regarding Zhang Lin's anomaly, Professor Chen finally stood up and asked: "Comrade Xiao Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Lin packed up his luggage, pointed outside and said: "Didn't we agree last night that we would run for our lives when the sandstorm stopped? If you don't run for your lives quickly, why are you still caring about the gods here? If you are not afraid of death, just investigate slowly here. I am afraid of death.
, take the first step.”
Wang Kaixuan heard this and said: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we have guns. I can knock down those jackals, tigers and leopards with one shot. I will give you a meal then."
"Hey..." Zhang Lin smiled, turned around and climbed out of the cave, and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye. Soon he heard the sound of someone driving a camel.
"My camel..." An Liman quickly picked up his felt and ran out.
As soon as everyone saw the living map, they all left and packed up and left the house. They each grabbed the camels that were running around and rode on them, chasing An Liman.
Hao Aiguo followed Professor Chen, looked at the house behind him, shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's such a difficult discovery, and I haven't investigated it carefully yet."
"Yes!" Professor Chen also said with regret: "Maybe there are some clues about Jingjue Country. It seems that we can only come back next time when we have a chance."
When Shirley Yang heard this, she urged her camel and caught up with Zhang Lin who was at the front: "Do you know something?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Lin looked at Shirley Yang in confusion and said, "Boss, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Stop pretending!" Shirley Yang said: "When you rescued Hu Bayi and the others at Kunlun Glacier, I knew you were definitely not human, that big water polo..."
"Look, what is that?"
Before Shirley Yang finished speaking, Sa Di Peng's trembling voice came from behind. Everyone heard this and rushed over to take a look.
The house they were in just now was filled with densely packed red things squirming. A few yellow sheep were overtaken by the things after running a few steps, and turned into a pile of white bones without even making a sound.
It is hard to imagine the consequences if An Liman did not come to chase his camel and they did not come out to chase An Liman.
Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva and said: "Damn it, what is this? How did those bones come from?"
Ye Yixin said: "It's too scary! Brother Zhang, did you know this a long time ago?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin Youyou rode the camel and said: "I only know that if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. When Hu Bayi said that the bones were weird last night, I knew that there must be something in that house, or in the stone city.
The existence of something made that corpse look like that.
That thing can turn people into bones without even realizing it. There is not much chance of struggle. It must be far more terrifying than jackals, tigers and leopards. And what is even more terrifying is that the stone city is their territory."
Shirley Yang said: "How did you know?"
"I guessed it based on experience!" Zhang Lin said with a smile: "First of all, if you have ever fed dogs or other small carnivorous animals, you know that they all like to chew bones. After eating, they like to take the bones to different places to hide and chew them slowly.
.Because bones can sharpen their teeth very well, which is the same as when humans used teething sticks to grind their teeth when they were young."
Hu Badi said: "But the bones from last night had no signs of being chewed, so the white bones were not made by wolves, leopards, or even mice."
"Not bad!" Zhang Lin said: "The pile of bones is basically complete and too concentrated, indicating that he did not die from a large carnivore.
The absence of any tooth marks on the bones indicates that he was not bitten before or after his death. From this, it can be inferred that he must have died in his sleep.
Moreover, after his death, no other animals had touched his bones except the first predator. Because if other carnivores or scavengers had set foot in that room, then his leg bones and the like would have been destroyed.
Take away and we'll only find some sparse ribs.
After all, food is extremely scarce in the desert, and the energy brought by one human being is enough to trigger a small-scale fight.
This shows that there is an owner there, which is enough to deter surrounding creatures, even social creatures such as wolves, from entering.
That's why I left as soon as the sandstorm stopped."
Sa Di Peng said: "Brother Zhang, why didn't you run away last night? You were still able to sleep..."
"Sleeping so soundly?" Zhang Lin said with a smile: "Facing such a big sandstorm, any living thing will tremble, and everything everywhere is no exception.
If they were hunting when the sandstorm was raging, then we would have been attacked when we first entered.
Since it was okay to go in when the sandstorm first started, what could happen if the sandstorm didn’t stop last night?”
"Brother Zhang, you are so awesome!" Chu Jian said with a notebook: "I want to write down everything you said. We will definitely use it when we go to other places for archeology in the future."
Zhang Linda said: "What, you want to learn from experience?"
"Yes!" Chu Jian said: "Brother Zhang, you observe so carefully. You must have been traveling all over the country for many years!"
"I can't tell you in detail, but if you want to learn, I can teach you a practical lesson."
"Really?" Chu Jian said, "That's great. Speak slowly and I'll write it down."
Zhang Linda said: "You don't need to remember this, you just need to remember one thing - everything has animism."
"All things have animism?" Ye Yixin asked: "What does this mean?"
"What Comrade Xiao Zhang said is that all living things have spirituality and their sense of danger is stronger than that of humans.
Just like before an earthquake or volcano erupts, rats and cockroaches will flee in panic, right?"
"Professor Chen is right." Zhang Lin said: "Animals' perception of danger is generally more than ten times that of humans."
"Just like last night, if our camels did not enter Stone City alive or dead, it means that it is very dangerous.
And just now, as soon as I came out, I saw the camels abandoning us and running away, which also means that Stone City has become dangerous and we cannot stay for a long time."
Professor Chen said cheerfully: "It turns out there is so much truth to it. It seems we have lost our minds in the archeology exam!"
"Look at how proud I am!"
Wang Kaixuan followed Hu Bayi and was very unhappy when he saw the archaeological team surrounding Zhang Lin asking questions.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi smiled and said: "Fat man, it's thanks to him this time, otherwise we would all have to feed those bugs at the back."
"That's not a bug, it's a desert army ant! I've seen it in the Amazon River Basin. It's a creature as famous as the piranha, the deep-water crocodile and the forest giant. It's more dangerous than the three, and the places it passes are full of bones.
Their bodies can secrete a kind of formic acid, which will paralyze ordinary creatures and make them unable to move when touched, making them their food."
After taking some photos of army ants, Shirley Yang explained the origin of those insects to the two of them.
"Army ants?" Wang Kaixuan said: "You said those are ants? Damn, ants can be so ferocious."
Hu Badi said: "Have you learned a lot this time?"
Wang Kaixuan nodded in confusion and said: "It's grown, it's such a big ant!"
Everyone followed Fatty Wang's gaze and saw an ant the size of a millstone appearing in the stone city. Shirley Yang said: "That's the queen ant!"
"You said it's the queen ant?" Wang Kaixuan said: "It's the damn ant spirit!"
Seeing the queen ant appear, Zhang Lin said: "We'll talk about it later. Everyone, hurry up, otherwise you'll be targeted soon and you'll have to run away."
