"Over there! They two are in charge of that area!"
Karasuma Kei immediately pointed in a direction.
"What about the mercenaries protecting them?"
Tianwang Lu Boshi asked immediately.
“Missing too!”
The leader of the mercenaries came over, also looking unhappy.
His two subordinates also lost contact with him.
"Did we encounter some quicksand?"
Tianwang Lu Boshi couldn't help but say.
"If it was quicksand, it would be impossible for it to swallow four people at the same time! And my men are all very experienced people. It is impossible for them to be swallowed by quicksand without sending a rescue message!"
The leader of the mercenaries shook his head, looked at the sky, and said:
"It will be completely dark in half an hour! We only have an hour at most to find them!"
"In the dark night of the desert, we can only stay here for half an hour at most! This is the experience we have left behind!"
"Understood! Let's do as you wish!"
Tianwang Lu Boshi nodded.
Agreed with the mercenary leader's opinion.
"Then Tony, Ethan! You go back with the two mercenaries first! It's too dangerous at night, we can't drag you in here!"
King Lu Boshi looked at Tony and Ethan again and said worriedly.
"No way! With two more people, it will be easier to find!"
Dr. Eason is a nice guy.
When you see someone missing, you become anxious for them.
When Tony saw Dr. Ethan staying, he also spread his hands and prepared to stay and look for it together.
So the more than 20 people present immediately formed a search and rescue team and began searching for the missing person.
"The search area of the two of them is right here! But the footprints are gone. It's hard to leave traces in the desert!"
Everyone looked ahead.
It's all desolate desert!
It's endless, and there's no place for anyone to hide!
"Could it be that we really went underground?"
Mixed in the crowd, Tony couldn't help but squat down and grab a handful of sand.
The sand began to grow cold.
This means night is coming!
"It's possible!"
The face of the Heavenly King Lu Boshi was extremely solemn:
"The ground under many deserts is actually hollow! It's just that the gap between the desert and these holes is relatively small, so the desert doesn't sink!"
"Yes! Because there is tension between the grains of sand!"
Tony nodded in agreement:
“Sometimes leaving a hole doesn’t allow the sand to go down!”
“But if someone gives these sands a force, such as wind blowing, earthquake, or someone stepping on them!
The sand will sink down!"
King Lu Boshi and Tony explained the formation of quicksand one after another.
"Once you're caught in quicksand, you're basically buried alive!"
The king Lu Boshi shook his head, his expression very solemn:
"I'm afraid the four missing people..."
Although he didn't say it out loud, everyone could sense the depression in Tianwang Lu Boshi's tone.
So everyone hung their heads, looking dejected.
But at this moment.
"what!"
A scream rang out among the crowd!
Everyone turned around immediately.
But all he saw was a female employee of superstar Lu Boshi sinking downwards!
"Help! Help me!"
The female employee is also a person.
At this moment, she was trapped in quicksand. She was suddenly panicked and struggled desperately.
"Idiot! Stop struggling! Relax your body! The more you struggle, the faster you sink!"
[Extract group 975632&41/0 The leader of the mercenaries couldn't help but scold her, and then the two men beside him immediately threw out a prepared rope.
The female employee immediately grabbed the rope.
With the two big men's strenuous dragging, the body was finally pulled out of the quicksand!
"Help!"
But at this moment.
Someone started calling for help again!
Everyone looked over in panic.
I saw whirlpools appearing under five or six people, attracting their bodies to sink to the bottom of the desert!
There are employees of the king Lu Boshi, and also a few mercenaries!
"What's going on? There's something wrong with this quicksand!"
Looking at the scene in front of me.
Even though he was an experienced mercenary leader, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He only knew that quicksand came in pieces, but he had never seen the quicksand appear one by one in front of him!
It just appeared right under everyone's feet and dragged them under the sand!
"Save them quickly!"
The king Lu Boshi was panicked.
Come to the rescue immediately!
but.
A whirlpool suddenly appeared under his feet, dragging him down into the sand!
"Fuck! What the hell happened?!"
Tony and Dr. Ethan looked at the sudden scene in front of them, cold sweat running down their foreheads.
I didn't know what to do for a while.
"Something's wrong! There's something!"
At this time.
The sharp-eyed mercenary leader seemed to have seen something.
Immediately raised the gun and shot to one side!
Boom!
Gunfire rang out.
Suddenly, in the sand pile not far away, there came a sound similar to the sound of metal clashing!
"There's something in the sand!"
Many people reacted immediately.
It is impossible for sand alone to make such a sound when hit by a bullet!
"Hey! Did you find me?"
really!
In the horrified eyes of everyone.
A figure suddenly emerged from the sand pile!
It is like an insect that has become a spirit, walking upright.
The whole body is dark brown, very similar to the color of sand.
The head is small, but the pair of compound eyes are well developed and protrude on both sides, and the mouthparts are of the chewing type, which looks very ferocious!
The abdomen is long and thin, but there is a small belly! There is also a belly button!
The hands and feet have insect-like claws.
At the same time, there are some small thorns on its body similar to those of ants!
"It seems like... an antlion!"
The moment he saw it, King Lu Boshi couldn't help but speak.
"That's right! Congratulations, you got it right! My name is Antlion!"
The antlion hybrid laughed, and its laughter was full of ill intentions.
"No way, my Lord, this is what you are looking for?"
Tony looked at the antlion hybrid in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked:
"This doesn't look like a tarantula! It doesn't look like a rescuer!"
"Of course not! It's definitely not that!"
King Lu Boshi shook his head and said:
"But I don't know what it is!"
"Who are you? Are you responsible for the disappearance of my two men?" The mercenary leader on the side could not help but question the antlion in front of him.
"That's right! Who wants them to discover my existence? There is no way, Master Aurora said so!
This action cannot be known to anyone!
All those who know about this must be killed!"
The antlion hybrid laughed, its tone full of cruelty.
It seemed that what were killed were not four people, but four ants.
"Aurora...are you from the museum?!"
When they heard the name of the antlion hybrid, everyone's pupils shrank.
"That's right! I am a subordinate of the museum's special envoy, Aurora-sama - the Antlion hybrid!"
The antlion hybrid proudly introduced itself:
"Originally, I was planning to kill those four and then stop! But you guys just happened to find this place...
no solution anymore!
In this case, I can only get rid of you all!"
The antlion's mixed tone suddenly became ferocious:
