Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

The archaeological team made final preparations overnight. Except for one person who stayed at Zhou's house to collect and manage data and archives, the other ten people were divided into two groups and went into the deep mountain for investigation.Wu Qi and Ghost Wu also joined the group led by Zhao Guai. There are five people in this group including Zhao Guai. The survey area is also farther and wider. The two of Wu Qi followed the archaeological team and they didn't have any opinion. It just happened that the team lacked a team doctor, so the problem was just solved, and the number of people and strength was not a bad thing for them. Of course, the most important thing here was Zhao Guai's authorization. .

A group of twelve people walked for a whole morning before they arrived at the huge cliff called Dragon God Wall by the locals. The blade of the ax split the mountain from the middle, and opened two extremely steep forks. Along the bottom of the cliffs of the forks, piles of bones were scattered, including human beings and animals. For thousands of years, It is through these two forks that mountain people enter the deep mountains to collect medicinal herbs and other things.Maybe in a certain period, this road is like the road of hell, if you walk in it, you will never come back. The archaeological team was divided into two groups here, and they took the left and right forks respectively. The group Wu Qi joined was mainly engaged in archaeological exploration, conducting intuitive search and textual research on the ancient relics in the mountains.Another group of people mainly carried out surveys and collections of terrain, local flora and fauna, and minerals, so as to systematically study the possible ancient relics in the local area.

However, the weather was not good. As soon as a group of people made a survey plan, the rumbling thunder came over, and after a while, dark clouds covered, and then a strong wind blew up. "Hey! This God is enough to save face. I have seen the sun for a few days in my leisure time, and I enjoy yellow soup as soon as I go out. Come on, I am still looking for a chance to take a bath!" Ertiao, the chatterbox in the archaeological team Seeing this, he couldn't help but shouted while twisting his thin body. The summer in the southern mountainous area is generally redundant. It is normal to encounter such a situation, and there is no way to do it.But the mountain wall is extremely smooth, there is no place to shelter from the rain, and the passage of the entire mountain wall is at the position of the wind, so the wind can't even fix the tent, the situation of the group is very embarrassing.However, some equipment cannot enter the water. Team Feng of the archaeological team gave an order, and several people quickly packed up the equipment. Together.

The rumble of thunder reverberated incessantly in the mountains, sending out bursts of weird echoes. The whole mountain seemed to be a scene full of random performances of various musical instruments, and the sounds were too chaotic to be heard.Coupled with the piles of dead bones all around, the whole valley instantly turned into a feeling of hell on earth. "Hey! Look, what's going on?" A group of people gathered together, some teased and some scolded, suddenly a young man named Du Fan in the archaeological team pointed at the opposite cliff and said in surprise. He rubbed his eyes with his glasses, as if he didn't quite believe what he saw.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and a look of astonishment immediately appeared on their faces. Although they were all people who had seen the world, they all opened their eyes wide in fear, obviously not believing everything in front of them.I saw a huge pattern on the originally smooth and unmarked huge cliff on the opposite side. At first glance, the pattern looked like a strange pagoda!And this pattern is still changing, becoming bigger and bigger, extending along the cliff wall, becoming more and more clear, and slowly taking shape.Looking again, a few long hands grew around the pagoda, like tentacles, and the pagoda gradually became fatter, and it felt more like a gourd after a while.This situation is exactly the same as what the local mountain people described before.

"What is this? The local legend of the mountain god's apparition?" Er Tiao shrunk his head and said, "What? You think we are disturbing the tranquility, so give me two warnings first?" "Don't fucking talk nonsense, the white-collar workers have learned the materialism education in the past two years, how can there be such a mountain god!" Captain Feng spit out the sand that he blew into his mouth, knocked Ertiao on the head and said: "It's all gone! Useful, don't force me to go back and give you a punishment, this is a goddamn miracle, the camera is waiting..."

Before Team Feng could finish speaking, Li Xiaomeng couldn't help but took out the camera and took a shot, for fear of missing every detail.At this time, Wu Qi stared at the pattern on the cliff with his eyes wide open, without blinking. This sudden impact really made everyone panic for a while, but at this time his performance was even more serious. , because he suddenly felt that the pattern on the cliff was not unfamiliar, and he actually had a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before! "No!" Ghost Wu frowned, raised his left hand flat, and rubbed his right hand on his arm, but when he heard a "chirp", a beam of fire shot towards the opposite cliff, embedded in the mountain. on the rock.Immediately, the black pattern burst into flames, and a gap was quickly opened where the ghost five sleeve arrow shot. As the fire spread, it became bigger and bigger until the fire was extinguished, and the gap slowly returned to its original shape. .

The sharp-eyed among the group of people immediately called out: "It's ants! These things are ants!" Only then did the group of people see everything in front of them clearly, and when they looked around, they saw that the cliff was covered with black and red deep mountains. The red ants, it is their gathering, formed that weird pattern.Everyone was amazed, and couldn't help but be awed by the weird miracles created by these little creatures.Legend has it that in the cliffs of the subtropical jungle in the south, there will be "a long snake showing its body" and "a crouching dragon returning to the sky". It is extremely strange, but in fact it is the forest ant colony that is doing the mischief, but the colony of ants like today can Spontaneously organized to form such weird and complex patterns, I am afraid that subtropical forest ant colonies will be far behind.Li Xiaomeng let out a wow, and quickly took a few more shots.

After a few thunder explosions, the surrounding air was filled with a burnt smell, which was very unpleasant, and almost suffocated for a moment.The ant colony on the cliff also blew up their nests, and soon became out of shape, and slowly spread to the surroundings in batches. "Not good!" Captain Feng pointed at the groups of ants and exclaimed, "Here we are coming!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a strange itching all over their bodies. , I don’t know when red ants the size of a grain of rice came out, and they burrowed in along the trouser legs, gnawing on human flesh unceremoniously.

Everyone hurried out of the tent and tried their best to shake off the ants that had crawled on them, but the more terrifying situation was yet to come.The giant ant colony on the cliff seemed to smell the scent of human flesh here, and divided into dozens of segments, spreading towards this side like big snakes. Wu Qi thought of the numerous bones on the two sections of the cliff fork, and realized the seriousness of the problem at the moment. After being attacked by such a huge group of red ants, within ten minutes, there would be a few more bones under the cliff. "Quick! Go to a higher place!" Captain Feng didn't dare to neglect, seeing the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, as if he heard the sound of countless ants eating his own flesh, his face turned green, and he shook off the ants on his body A group of people waved their hands and motioned for a few people to climb up the cliff.However, he was obviously acting out of desperation and reason in a hurry. The surface of the cliff was extremely smooth, with only sporadic protruding rubble. Except for Ghost Wu, I believe that no one could climb the cliff and escape under such circumstances.

Er Tiao was thin and extremely flexible, so he didn't care about anything at the moment. He grabbed two rocks and climbed up, but he fell freely after a few hits. I don’t think this idea is to teach people to escape for their lives, I think it’s simply letting the brothers climb high and jump off the cliff to die heroically!” "Don't you fucking talk nonsense, is this the solution? In the current situation, don't you show some fearlessness? It's a waste of a life here, brothers, try harder!" Captain Feng stabilized his position and said as he spoke. Shivering, he lit a cigarette, which was his habitual action when he was anxious. When Er Tiao saw the fire, he was overjoyed immediately, and cursed in the direction of the ant colony: "Damn it! Your second master has no meat and you still want to grab it. Today, my master directly roasted you bastards!" While speaking, he dug out a torch and a barrel of gasoline. "Impossible!" Ghost Wu was shocked when he saw this, he hurried forward and knocked Ertiao to the ground, Feng Dui also stepped forward and patted Ertiao's head, "You bastard, you have been following me for so many years in vain, You haven't been gnawed by insects yet, why do you want to destroy it humanely first!" Team Feng is indeed not alarmist. At this time, everyone is in the low-lying part of the valley. After the thunderstorm, due to the rapid change of ionization in the air, a large amount of carbon dioxide will be deposited at the bottom of the valley, and the oxygen concentration will drop sharply. The miasma was stimulated.Ignition at this time, according to the topography of the bottom of the valley, there is no way to escape, even if it is not submerged in the sea of ​​flames, it will be suffocated to death, what's more, it is very likely to provoke those combustible gases, which will directly cause an explosion. The situation was severe, and there was no good way for everyone at the moment. Seeing the black ants swarming up like a tide, they were forced to a tiny corner of Yishan, and there was no way to retreat. Li Xiaomeng was even more frightened. His face turned pale, and he sobbed uncontrollably. Wu Qi glanced at Ghost Wu, he seemed extremely calm, but his brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't know why the ants were afraid of his weird physique or what, but none of the ants invaded him. The person who can escape alone does not know what he is thinking at this moment. "Let me come!" Zhao Guai stretched out his hand to signal everyone to lean back, took a step forward, turned to Wu Qi and said, "Help me, the silver needle goes down to Yangguan, Jianzhen, Quze, Neiguan, Laogong, Zhongchong acupoint, move fast!" While speaking, his right hand conjured up a black stone the size of an egg like a magic trick, and he tried his best to gather it tightly, and it was immediately crushed into pieces, and he held it tightly in his hand. Wu Qi didn't know why, but the situation was urgent right now, so he didn't bother to ask any more questions, and hurriedly followed Zhao Guai's intention, took out the silver needle and pointed it at the acupoints he designated, and inserted the needle accurately.For a moment, Zhao Guai's outstretched arm trembled suddenly, and wisps of white smoke came out from the middle finger of his left hand that was holding the black stone tightly.
