A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

Chapter 153 Water Crisis

Clearly, these desert army ants offer exceptional benefits to white-skinned individuals.

Whitey was searching for the location of the desert army ants when suddenly, as if he had found something, he manipulated all the little white ants to rush towards a certain location.

The cave that the desert army ants had just crawled out of was now being swarmed into by countless tiny white insects.

Before long, an unusually large sand dune appeared on the ground. Finally, when the sand dune had risen nearly two meters above the ground, it suddenly cracked open, revealing the figure inside.

Bai Jing was startled the moment he saw the figure among them.

Because it turned out to be a giant ant that was half a meter in size, and a large group of ants that were the size of a fist.

Clearly, the little white worm has found the command center of the desert army ants.

Unsurprisingly, none of the queen and king ants of these desert army ants were a match for the white worms. In no time, the ants were completely devoured by the white worms.

As the queen and king ants were killed by the white ant, the other desert army ants instantly fell into chaos.

Under the control of the white skin, these desert army ants were chased around by the white insects, running around like headless flies.

Finally, the battle lasted for about ten minutes from start to finish.

The desert army ants on the ground were almost completely wiped out by the white skin.

As Bai Pi summoned all the little white worms back, Bai Pi, whether from overeating or something else, snuggled into Bai Jing's arms and fell fast asleep.

This was something Bai Jing had never encountered before.

However, this should be a good thing for Bai Pi, so Bai Jing straightened his clothes and prepared to catch up with the archaeological team.

Bai Jing had only taken two steps when he saw a figure running rapidly forward in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and he chased after the fleeing figure like a cheetah.

What did Bai Jing see?

It is a gazelle.

Bai Jing was very fast, after all, he had several times the explosive power, while the yellow sheep hadn't even had time to accelerate, plus Bai Jing's superb throwing skills.

Ultimately, the story ends with Bai Jing knocking the gazelle unconscious and then carrying it back to the group.

Meanwhile, Hu Bayi and the others were waiting for Bai Jing in a safe area not far ahead.

Before long, Bai Jing was seen carrying a yellow sheep, happily heading towards everyone.

Seeing that Bai Jing was alright, everyone was overjoyed. Then they saw the yellow sheep that Bai Jing was carrying, and their joy deepened.

Fortunately, the camels had already used up most of their supplies on the way, so adding a gazelle to the team was more than enough.

Everyone has decided to eat the gazelle when they go camping that night.

Let's get going now.

That evening, thanks to the presence of the gazelle, everyone enjoyed a good meal and even had a bonfire party.

However, perhaps because of this, it seems like everyone's good luck has run out.

Along the way thereafter, Bai Jing and others

Not to mention animals, not even a single plant was seen.

As the team progressed, the water consumption increased.

By this day, the entire team had only one 20-liter bucket of water left.

Normally, a person needs to drink two liters of water a day, but because we are in the desert, even though it is only late April, we have already experienced the intense heat of the desert during the day.

It can be said that to maintain good mobility, a person needs to consume about four liters of water a day, but obviously, people don't have that kind of condition now.

Even with the minimum consumption, at one liter of water per person per day, everyone could only last for a maximum of two days.

In other words, if the team cannot find a water source within two days, the entire group will be buried in this vast sea of ​​sand.

At this moment, Bai Jing's innate ability to sense danger suddenly came into play.

He felt a sense of hidden danger in the surrounding environment from all directions.

However, when Bai Jing saw a certain direction, he didn't feel any palpitations in that direction.

What does this mean?

This means that moving in any other direction carries the risk of death, and only the direction where there is no perceived danger is where life lies.

Immediately, Bai Jing found An Liman and asked, "Uncle An Liman, which direction should we go? Are you confident that we can find a water source?"

When Anliman heard Bai Jing's question, he was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he could only reply, "We have already deviated from our original direction. If we had followed the original route, we would have found the water source in just one more day, but now I'm not so sure."

Bai Jing expressed his understanding of this.

Hu Bayi then took the map. Anliman looked at the map, drew a circle about forty or fifty kilometers in diameter on it, and said, "I can only say that we are roughly in this area now."

Following that, Anliman pointed to the water source marked on the sign and said, "If we are in the place closest to the water source, we can get there in less than two days. But if we are in a place far away from the water source, it may take three days to get there."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing Anliman's words.

But the next moment, Bai Jing gritted his teeth, then pointed in a direction and said, "My intuition tells me that the way out is there. We're out of options now, so let's take a gamble. Everyone, follow me!"

After saying that, Bai Jing mounted the camel and headed towards the southeast.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.

There's no other way now, we can only try anything as a last resort.

Although Bai Jing's ability was previously only to foresee danger, what if it is?

Besides, no matter where they are now, they can only survive by continuing to move forward. If they stay where they are, they will only face certain death. They should set off now, and the sooner they set off, the greater their chances of survival.

Everyone quickly understood the gravity of the situation and immediately followed Bai Jing.

Along the way, everyone tried to minimize noise to reduce water evaporation.

Bai Jing glanced at Bai Pi in his arms with some concern. Since the day he encountered the desert army ants, Bai Pi had not made a sound for many days.

But he couldn't worry about that now; Bai Jing resolutely moved forward in the direction he felt he should be heading.

Chapter 154: Water Found

More than a day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now the afternoon of the second day.

By this time, the last water source had been completely exhausted.

Everyone knew that if they couldn't find water today, none of them would survive until tomorrow.

Bai Jing walked at the front, lying on the camel. Although he was now somewhat weak due to dehydration, he still guided everyone in the direction he pointed.

Time passed bit by bit.

After the caravan crossed a sand dune, Anliman, who had been lying on the camels and was already somewhat exhausted, seemed to see something and suddenly shouted.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

As he spoke, Anliman jumped off the camel, climbed to the top of the sand dune, and looked around.

Seeing Anliman's actions, everyone else mustered their attention and looked at him.

Finally, after a moment, Anliman, who was standing on the sand dune, suddenly jumped up and down. Then, he ran back and said happily, "I've been to this place before, many years ago. Our team encountered a black sandstorm, and I got separated from the rest of the team. But when I was thirsty and hungry, I saw white camels on these sand dunes right in front of me."

It was truly a blessing from heaven! The white camel was much bigger than ordinary camels. Guided by it, I walked and walked, and then I saw the ruins of an ancient city, and there I found water.

Hearing this, the fat man was somewhat skeptical and immediately asked, "Old man, is it really that miraculous?"

Upon hearing this, Anliman looked around again to confirm, and said, "I only remembered it when I saw what the surroundings looked like just now."

Shirley Yang quickly asked, "When will it arrive?"

Anliman looked at the sky and said, "We should arrive before dark."

Bai Jing glanced at his watch. It was around 5 p.m., and it got dark quite late in the Western Regions. It was April, and it was around 8 p.m., which meant that it would take about three hours to get there.

Moreover, this incident has once again proven that my abilities are indeed impressive.

Since we're almost at the water source, let's not delay. Everyone, quickly get on the camels and head towards the water source.

This time, Anliman was leading the way, and Bai Jing confirmed that the direction he sensed was the same as the direction Anliman was leading them in.

And so, everyone sped up their journey and walked for about two hours. In the distance, they saw an ancient ruin appear before them.

Upon seeing the ruins, Anliman excitedly exclaimed, "Did you see that? Did you see that? That's the site of an ancient city. The ancient city is buried under that yellow sand, and beneath the city, there must be a water source."

Hearing An Liman's words, the archaeological team became excited. Looking at the ruins, they felt an even stronger connection than if they were seeing their own mother. Even the usually stern Professor Hao excitedly exclaimed repeatedly, "I see it! I see it!"

"We saw it all!"

Seeing this, Bai Jing immediately encouraged everyone again, shouting, "Then let's speed up! Although the ruins look close, we don't know how long it will take to get there. Let's hang in there a little longer!"

The fat man shouted excitedly, "Everyone, speed up! Victory is just ahead!"

After shouting, the fat man steered his camel toward the ruins.

Seeing this, everyone's camels began to speed up.

As the team got closer to the ruins, Bai Jing noticed that, apart from the yellow sand, some vegetation was beginning to appear.
