Chapter 38 New clues
Hula, like it was raining, the white slurry in the sky was sprayed directly, without any surprise, all sprayed on these giant ants.
The moment these ants were stained with the white slurry, they were as if they were shocked by electric shock. They fell to the ground one after another and began to twitch continuously. After a while, they fell to the ground and could no longer move.
Fatty and I stood there and stared at the scene in front of us. No one could speak. It was so terrible. This scene was beyond our imagination. Looking at the piece of venom not far from us, I swallowed hard. Fortunately, the fat man pulled me away just now, otherwise I would not even know how I died.
"Run! Run!" As if he had thought of something, the fat man hurriedly pulled me to run away. I had just reacted. The toad had just killed all these giants and was very likely to turn the gun head to deal with us. While it had just fought, it had not reacted yet. If it didn't run away now, when would it be waiting?
However, after running for no more than two steps, I heard no movement. I turned my head and looked quietly. All I saw was the toad's golden butt. It turned out that they were too lazy to pay attention to us when they were full. They croaked and left a deep pit in place and left directly.
After seeing this scene, the fat man and I breathed a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from our heads. This scene was really thrilling and exciting.
Back to where we lived, now, the tent was gone, and the horse was turned into a bone frame by the army of ants. We could only walk to the ancient country.
"You just said that you discovered the ancient country, what's going on?" I asked the fat man.
The fat man reached into his arms, took out a map from it, pointed to the end of the map and said to me: "You see, this is the area we are currently in, and this may be the location of the ancient country, but because the ancient country disappeared for too long, it is very likely that it has been buried in the desert, so the location we are now in is very likely to be near the ancient country!"
"What does it mean? Do you mean we are digging holes in the desert to find the whereabouts of the ancient country?" I stared at the fat man in a daze. This is too unreliable. Such a large desert can never be found after digging for ten lifetimes.
"You idiot, don't you see any words on it?" said the fat man, pointing to the end of the map, and there was indeed a line of small words on it.
However, I am too young and my handwriting is too old, I don’t know it at all.
"Idiot, what it says is that the ancient sacred country is guarded by the golden toad and the sky snake is the enemy!"
"What does it mean?" I touched my head and looked at the fat man in confusion.
The fat man shook his head and sighed, patted me on the shoulder, "When our matter is over, you should go back to study quickly and don't mess with me. It's too embarrassing. It's terrible to be uneducated!"
After saying this, I was so angry that I just wanted to beat the fat man up, but looking at the strong figure and looking at my thin appearance, I immediately gave up this idea, and I still begged the fat man to explain to me what this is.
"The protection of the golden toad means that there is a protection of the golden toad in the ancient country. The so-called heavenly snake is the enemy of the ancient country. In other words, the heavenly snake is the enemy of the golden toad. You understand, stupid melon!" The fat man said and gave me a blank look.
After hearing the fat man’s explanation, I suddenly realized that the golden toad was guarding. Could it be that the big toad just now was the so-called golden toad? Isn’t that just by following the big toad, you can find the ancient country?
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase the toad!" I looked at the fat man anxiously.
The fat man gave me a blank look and said, "You need to say it, Fatty, I have been there a long time ago. It was because I accidentally disturbed the toad and was chased by the toad!" The fat man said and sighed.
"So have you found anything?" I asked anxiously.
"If I find out, I'll discuss something with you? I'll just go there. Now I'm having a headache. How can I find the location of the ancient country?" The fat man said angrily.
I said oh, but there was no choice but to sit next to me and wait for the fat man's idea.
Now the fat man, holding the map in his hand, looked left and right, and took out the compass from time to time, looking at it repeatedly, and didn't speak for a long time, very seriously.
I felt a little sleepy before I could tell, so I lay on the desert and started to sleep. After all, I didn’t sleep well last night and I was rushing on the road all day long. I was so tired that I was so tired.
But just when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt a pain in my scalp, as if someone was pulling my hair. I thought it was a fat man, so I called him, "Don't make trouble, fat man."
"I'm making trouble for you sister, get up quickly and get ready to leave!" The fat man shouted at me directly.
And even when the fat man yelled, I woke up. The moment I opened my eyes, I suddenly became suspicious. The fat man was sitting almost five meters away from me, packing his travel bag, so how could he come to grab my hair?
The monk was confused and simply stopped thinking about it. He got up and wanted to follow the fat man. But just now, his scalp hurts again, and my hair seemed to be caught tightly, so he couldn't get up at all.
"Go on, go quickly!" The fat man yelled at me after packing his travel bag.
"I...I..." At this moment, the pain became even stronger. The thing that grabbed my hair was like pulling my hair off, making me in pain. I wanted to shout, but there was no sound in my mouth. I could only look at the fat man anxiously, hoping that he could find my embarrassment.
However, after calling me, this fat man actually carried a travel bag and turned around and left. He shouted to me without looking back: "I have new clues, please keep up quickly!"
"I'm quick, your grandma, I'm your uncle!" I shouted in my heart and cursed the fat man more than ten thousand times. How could there be such a top-notch in this world?
Gradually, not only was my hair caught, but my hands and feet seemed to be tightly locked by something, and I couldn't move at all. Moreover, I felt that my body seemed to be sinking.
At this moment, I immediately thought of something terrible in the desert - the desert trap.
The so-called desert trap is like a swamp. The harder you break free, the harder it will be to break free, and it will fall deeper and deeper, and will gradually be buried alive in the desert trap. If no one rescues you, you will die in it.
"Fatty... Fatty... Come and save me!" I shouted loudly in my heart, hoping that the fat man could look back at me, but the fat man walked faster and faster, and gradually ran...
"Damn fat man, do you uncle, fuck your eighth generation ancestor!" I was greeting the fat man's family in my heart, looking at the fat man's back, and even suspected that the fat man was intentional and deliberately leaving me here and ignored him.
But no matter what, these are useless. I can only sigh at the fat man's back as he walked away. The fat man went further and further away, and he did not look back.
Gradually, the yellow sand covered my thighs and my whole body, leaving only a head. At this time, I still didn't forget to look at the fat man, but I could no longer see anything. My body was covered with yellow sand, and the same was true in my vision. Gradually, I felt a strong sense of suffocation, and there were many hallucinations in my mind, including Ning Qiyu, Fat man, March grass, Xiaoyu, Xiaohei... At some point, I felt my eyelids were heavy and I felt drowsy. Then I closed my eyes, leaving only a piece of darkness.
In the dark space, the black trees exuded a smell of decay. On the ruins, the gravel and rotten tiles more than ten meters high even told the glory of this place. Not far away, there were scrapped vehicles that had decayed into iron slag. I don’t know what era it was.
When I opened my eyes, this kind of scene came into my eyes. What is this? Where am I? A bunch of questions has caused countless question marks in my mind.
Is I dead? Is this in the underworld? I was suspicious and slapped myself hard in the face, trying to tell whether I was dead or alive or dreaming.
The moment my palm touched the skin, a warm feeling came, and then a burning pain came. This was indeed my dream, and it was not a dream. What I saw in front of me was real and it also scared me.
Looking up, it was pitch black and I could not see anything. You know, I could see things in the dark. Now I can’t see the scene above. There are only two explanations. One is that my ability to see things in the dark has disappeared in this place. Another explanation is that the color above is originally pitch black and has nothing to do with my vision.
In order to verify the guess, I looked towards a dark place, and there was a 28-bar permanent bicycle that I didn't know how long it had been flying. This pig iron bicycle was already rusted at the moment, and the tires were also made of each piece, which was very messy. This also proved my guess that my ability to see things in the dark has not disappeared, which means that the above of my head was originally black.
I was even more confused. I remember that I was trapped in a desert trap and was forced torn off by something. How could it be black above my head? It should be the color of the sand and golden.
What makes me even more confused is, what about that big hole? Since I am trapped in, there should be a hole. Could it be like a swamp? After I trapped in, the sand automatically replenished the hole?
The confusion in my mind made me unable to understand my thoughts, I didn’t know how to get out, and I didn’t know which direction to go. Fortunately, my backpack fell down with me, so I don’t have to worry about food at the moment, which is a blessing in disgrace.
When I saw the backpack, I suddenly felt a little hungry, so I opened the backpack and took out a piece of dry, hard bread and mineral water from it, and then the jerky beef started to swallow it.
While eating, I started thinking about what to do now. Now the fat man is no longer by my side. Everything must be dependent on myself, and there is not even a person who discusses it.
Now I haven’t thought about whether I will be trapped here forever. As long as I have food and drink, it is not a desperate situation. After all, I am also a person who has experienced many things and is not as fragile yet.
After eating and drinking, I stood up from the ground and, with intuition, walked along a not-so-wide path ahead.
Is this the ancient country that Fatty mentioned? I don’t know, but I guess it is not, because according to what I imagined, that ancient country should be like the Qin emperor’s tomb or the cemetery of princes and nobles in the TV series, which is extraordinary, or like Dunhuang, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and long-lastingness.
But what I saw in front of me was completely different from what I had imagined before. It was like the doomsday scene after a disaster in the United States. There were scrapped cars, bicycles and other modern things, and the gap between it was really too big to what I imagined ancient country.
Walking forward, I suddenly heard a crisp sound under my feet, as if I had stepped on something. I suspiciously looked down. It was a rectangular black thing covered with dust. I lowered my head and picked it up. I held it in my hand and felt a familiar feeling. I didn't care about the dirt. I hurriedly wiped off the dust on it with my clothes and restored its original appearance. I was shocked. It turned out to be a mobile phone. I accidentally broke its screen just now.
Looking at the large-screen phone with the XC mark, I couldn't say a word for a long time. Where is this place? How come there are so many modern things? Looking at the decaying car, the rusty look, it makes people feel that it can be decayed to this extent, at least for thousands of years. Did our ancestors already have the current civilization thousands of years ago? Or were there someone making pranks?
After thinking of the prank, I couldn't help but laugh first. Not to mention whether anyone is so bored, who can have this ability alone? How long does it take to build such a world under the desert, and how much manpower and material resources are needed. This is just for a prank, which is simply funny.
Grasping this phone, I continued to walk forward, rows of broken high-rise buildings appeared in front of me. I was intimidated and thought to myself, if all this was redecorated, then this might be another bustling city. The more I looked, the more I was amazed. This jump path seemed to have no end, and I didn’t know where to lead. I had no choice but to walk forward like this, and intuition told me that there must be something waiting for me at the end of this road.
However, just after walking a few steps, a loud bang shaking my eardrums, which scared me and turned my head to look at the source of the sound.
