"Such big eyes, Boss, do you think my future kids will have eyes this big?"
Fatty looked at the unearthed stone statue and couldn't help but ask.
"Facts prove that most of a child's facial features are inherited from the father."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty instantly fell silent.
Thinking about if he were to have a daughter in the future, and she looked like him...
Fatty dared not think further.
But if she didn't look like him, wouldn't that be strange?
"I've seen this stone statue in Professor Chen's research materials."
"There are traces of them appearing in areas like Zangxi."
Shirley Yang said, and Hu Bayi looked at the stone statue and slowly spoke.
"Since this stone statue is distributed over such a wide area, its meaning must be profound."
As he spoke, they all gathered around the statue to study it.
Zhang Tian guessed that this statue might be related to the Ghost Cave Tribe.
Perhaps this was carved by people for the Ghost Cave Tribe.
"There's nothing here, no need to look, let's go to sleep."
Fatty waved his hand, lay down on the sand, and decided to get some sleep first.
Zhang Qilin's gaze was fixed on the stone statue.
"There's something inside."
Zhang Qilin spoke, and Zhang Tian naturally sensed it as well – desert marching ants.
However, the marching ants were not attacking at the moment; their activity seemed to decrease at night.
And what desert marching ants feared most seemed not to be fire, but gas bombs.
They seemed to have a sense of smell.
An Liman sat outside, gazing at the stars. Hu Bayi, holding his compass, also went out of the hut. He was very curious if there were any tombs in this city.
Shirley Yang followed him.
Soon, Zhang Tian saw Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi talking from afar.
"Boss, look, that's love."
Fatty was chewing on a piece of flatbread and said with blinking eyes.
"Fatty, you've skipped the dating stage altogether, and that's pretty good."
Zhang Tian patted Fatty on the shoulder.
Fatty's face turned dark.
"Boss, the sky is vast and the wilderness is boundless, can't Fatty just want to fall in love?"
Fatty looked dejected. As he spoke, a figure in red appeared behind him.
Wang Fei grabbed Fatty by the ear.
"Fall in love? With whom? Also, if I ignore you for a while, I plan to go see that little vixen."
Wang Fei said aggressively, and Fatty quickly put on a smile.
Since An Liman, Shirley Yang, and the others were not in the house, Wang Fei could come out and wander.
"Feifei, Fei, the most beautiful Queen, I just want to fall in love with you."
"Besides, I am loyal and truer than the heavens."
As Fatty spoke, Wang Fei snorted and released his ear with one hand.
"I just went down and saw it, there's an ant nest below. The ants are huge, be careful, there seem to be three large ants inside."
After Wang Fei finished speaking, she disappeared back into the house.
"Fatty, what's your wife been up to lately? She's so elusive."
"Not at all reserved."
Zhang Tian squinted at Fatty.
"I don't know. She says she's practicing some kind of magic, I don't understand. But Fatty discovered that Feifei has become even more beautiful recently. Indeed, Feifei is the most beautiful woman."
Fatty blinked his eyes.
Zhang Tian swallowed. Ever since he saw the rotten face of Wang Fei's true form, he felt that Fatty indeed had a peculiar taste.
"Should we eliminate them?"
Zhang Qilin asked from the side, clearly referring to the ant nest below.
"According to Wang Fei, there are three large ants below. If that's the case, there must be a large cave here."
"However, Wang Fei didn't mention any tombs, so this might just be an ant nest."
"Not for now, we can't go into the desert to look for ants, can we?"
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and Zhang Qilin nodded.
"These ants should be resting at night, so they didn't attack us. We'll rest briefly and set off tomorrow morning."
Zhang Tian said. In fact, he also wanted to set off at night, but the danger level of the desert would be even greater at night.
Thinking this way, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Setting off at dawn tomorrow should be fine.
An Liman also came in from outside.
"Well, it's too cold outside, already minus ten degrees. Fortunately, we found this place, otherwise, the temperature at night would be too low and people would freeze to death."
An Liman said, and then made a gesture of prayer on his chest.
"Boss, this guy just went out to pray. Really, your mouth is too foul. Fatty doesn't advise you to pray anymore."
Fatty said, looking at An Liman.
"Well, this young brother, Heaven will punish you."
An Liman said, and then prayed again in front of him.
"Well, I hope nothing happens this time, I hope we will be safe."
He prayed, even kneeling down.
"Boss, why do I have a bad feeling?"
Fatty's mouth twitched.
"I do too."
Zhang Tian also had a bad feeling, just like Fatty.
The next moment, a rustling sound came from beneath the sand.
At the same time, large ants began to emerge from the eye sockets of the giant stone statue.
Red ants directly pushed out the stone statue's eyeballs.
An ant as big as Zhang Tian's fist emerged from the stone statue.
"Boss, such a small hole, how did it get in when it's so big?"
Fatty muttered in amazement upon seeing this.
An Liman, seeing this, directly ran towards the back.
"This is damned, Heaven, are you playing a joke on me?"
An Liman was completely flustered.
He prayed once before and encountered a black sandstorm. Now, after praying again, he encountered desert marching ants.
It was simply outrageous.
An Liman was already preparing to escape.
At this time, Hu Bayi outside saw An Liman running out constantly and quickly stopped him.
"What are you doing?"
Hu Bayi frowned slightly.
"Marching ants, I'm going to get the equipment!"
An Liman said quickly. Hu Bayi frowned slightly, exchanged a look with Shirley Yang, and they both hurried back to the hut they were just in.
"Boss, can I step on these ants?"
Fatty asked. Zhang Tian gave him a side-eye.
"Fatty, this is sand, what do you think?"
"Let's go first. These ants are poisonous, and there seem to be more and more of them."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty quickly nodded.
"Swish."
At this moment, Zhang Qilin slashed twice, and a path was cut by his blade.
"Splat, splat, splat, Boss, did you see? Second Brother is so powerful."
Fatty said, but Zhang Tian ignored him. The group flashed twice and exited the place where they had started the fire.
"What's going on? So many ants?"
Hu Bayi frowned slightly, looking at the ants emerging from the sand behind them.
"Old Hu, you don't know, Fatty has met someone with an even fouler mouth than Fatty's."
"He prayed twice, and encountered danger twice. Fatty really wants to eat his camel."
Fatty said indignantly.
"Stop talking, all the ants are out."
Shirley Yang said from the side, and at the same time, she took out a tear gas from her backpack and threw it.
The pursuing marching ants were dispersed for a moment.
"Let's go first, there are three ant queens inside."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi's eyebrows rose. He quickly ran outside.
Behind them, swarms of ants continuously emerged from the sand.
These ants were nothing like the red ants Zhang Tian had seen on television. They were many times larger.
They were as big as fists.
And not long after the group ran out, the sand behind them suddenly became a flurry of dust.
Three fiery red giant bugs emerged from the sand.
The bugs were easily two meters tall, and there were three of them. They had no wings and looked very strange, their appearance unclear in the night.
"Holy crap, Boss, I thought we didn't provoke them, so why are there such big things?"
"And that scoundrel ran quite fast, don't let Fatty catch him."
Fatty grumbled, while Zhang Tian's expression was serious, as an ant king had already emerged from the sand in front of them.
"Next time, remember to gag An Liman's mouth."
Zhang Tian said calmly, and the group prepared for battle.
An Liman's mouth was truly too foul.
