Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 180 Going deep into the hinterland of the ancient country
"Damn it, what kind of bug is this? Why does it look so disgusting?" The fat man said with a look of disgust.

As he said that, he suddenly felt an unbearable itchiness in his thigh, so he lifted up his trousers and took a look.

On the fat man's thighs, there were blood packs protruding one by one. If you looked carefully, you could find that those blood packs were exactly the stomachs of the bugs. They were full and looked very disgusting.

"What the hell kind of bug is this? Why is it still sucking human blood?" the fat man said cursingly.

This is a small bug that looks a bit like a spider, and no one knows what it is. The fat man stretched out his hand and wanted to crush the bug, but Aning stopped him.

At this time, Tian Zhen also felt an unbearable itching from his buttocks, he quickly scratched it with his hands, and found that there was a lump on his buttocks, and his heart skipped a beat.

Except for the two of them, the others didn't feel anything unusual.

Aning quickly said: "This is a grass tick. They are bloodthirsty. They like to lurk on plants. When animals pass by, they will suck blood from animals. The amount of blood they eat can exceed five or six times their body weight. Their mouthparts have sucked the blood of many animals, and often contain a large number of germs, so they must not be pulled out directly, and they must be scalded to death with a high temperature after the knife is burned red."

As he said that, Aning pulled out his dagger, then took out a candle and lit it, and used the candle's fire to roast the dagger, and when it was almost red, he burned the grass ticks.

Under high-temperature ironing, grass ticks die instantly, and before dying, they will actively pull out the head and mouthparts that have been pierced into the meat, so as to avoid infection.

"Such a terrible bug, it's really wronged that it wasn't included in the review of the four pests!" said the fat man.

"Everyone check whether there are such bugs on their bodies, and if there are any, clean them up quickly, otherwise there will be some sequelae, and they will not be able to go anywhere in the future when they are old." Ah Ning reminded everyone.

No one dared to be negligent, they hurriedly checked each other, except for Tian Zhen and Fatty, everyone else was fine.

Naive must be embarrassed to clean up the bugs on his butt in front of everyone, so he pulled the fat man aside, and the two helped each other to burn the bugs on their bodies to death.

It took a full ten minutes to get it done.

"Miss Aning, how do you know this kind of bug? Have you seen it before?" asked innocently and curiously.

Aning nodded: "I used to see this kind of bug when I went abroad to inspect the project. It was in a remote village. It happened to be raining at that time, and a villager's cow was injured I was injured, and the blood attracted all the grass bugs nearby."

"We happened to pass by there at that time, and saw that the cow's body was covered with blood packs, and its body was several times smaller. The blood in its body was sucked dry by the insects, leaving only a pair of skinny bones."

"Later, I learned from the locals that this kind of bug is called grass tick. They are bloodthirsty and will directly kill the host, and then lurk on the remains of the animal, waiting for the next unlucky egg."

Aning looked at the dead python next to him again: "It must be the snake's blood, which attracted the nearby grass ticks. Our camp is relatively close, and some insects crawled into the tent by accident. It may be the two of you. This blood is more to their liking."

"These bugs are too disgusting, let's get out of here quickly." Tian Zhen said with lingering fear.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise he might not know how much blood would be sucked out of him, just thinking about it would make his scalp tingle.

"That's right, let's not waste time here, we have to meet up with the third master." Pan Zi said.

Then everyone packed up their equipment, ate something casually, drank a little water, and continued to set off in the direction of the signal smoke.

Before leaving, Tian Zhen glanced back at the big snake's body, and saw a terrifying scene. The big snake's body was already covered with dense grass ticks, and some insects couldn't occupy the space, so they hurriedly Round and round on the side.

There are also countless insects smelling blood, coming from all directions, the number is frightening!
After walking a few hundred meters, Pan Zi climbed to a tree again, looked at the direction of the signal smoke with a telescope, and frowned: "The signal smoke is about to disappear, there are still about three or four hours to go. , we must find it before the smoke disappears."

The journey of three to four hours is not too far for them. If they hurry up, they can even get there before 12 noon.

So everyone no longer hesitated, and hurried forward.

After walking forward for another hour, the swamp in front suddenly became open, and there were few trees around.

"Look, there are footprints here, it looks like they should be left by your third uncle!" The fat man suddenly pointed to the ground and said.

Everyone hurried up to look at those footprints, and found that there were indeed many footprints, and they were very messy, with at least a dozen people.

Careful Aning found that one of the footprints was very special, obviously smaller than the others, and seemed to be left by a woman.

"This should be a woman's footprints. Are there any women in your third uncle's team?" Aning asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm sure! There are no women in the third master's team. After all, this is not a tour. Wouldn't it be a hindrance to bring a woman?" Pan Zi said with certainty.

"Yes, yes, I came with them. Can I not know if there are any women in the team? By the way, whose footprints belong to?" the fat man asked curiously.

Knowing that this footprint was left by a woman, Naive subconsciously looked at the little brother, and found that the little brother was also looking at him.

Before setting off, the old lady Dingzhu Zhuoma had passed Wenjin's message to them, saying that Wenjin would be with them in Tamutuo, so Tianzhen quickly guessed that the footprints were left by Wenjin.

And the little brother obviously realized this, so the two of them looked at each other quite tacitly.

"This should be Wenjin's footprint!" Tian Zhen said with certainty.

Now here are all her own people, and there is nothing to hide. Aning is only one person, even if she knows this, she can't change anything, so she said it innocently.

"Ah, from Wenjin? How can you be so sure?" The fat man opened his mouth wide and said in great surprise.

"That's right, little third master, how do you know that the teacher's wife is here too? I haven't seen her for more than ten years..." Pan Zi said.

"Because she sent me a message that she would wait for me here, so she should be around here?" Tian Zhen looked around and said.
