Chapter 173 Scary

"Send a signal! Send it quickly—"

The man in the baseball cap roared hysterically and kicked away the waves of insects surging around his feet.

When he took out his cell phone tremblingly, a centipede as thick as a finger appeared on the screen, its dark red shell shining strangely in the sunlight.

The centipede suddenly raised its head and opened its poisonous jaws, which scared him so much that he screamed and the phone flew out of his hand more than two meters away.

The situation is even worse for thin people.

He pressed the emergency button on the satellite phone with trembling hands, but felt something cold drilling into his ear.

In the dim light, he saw that his shoulders were covered with dense black beetles, some of which were trying to crawl into his nostrils.

"Boss! Something's happened in the underground canyon!" His voice was already tearful. "I wonder if that woman knows Miaojiang witchcraft! She attracted them!"

A cold sneer came from the other end of the phone: "Waste, you can't even handle a woman properly.

The sound seemed to come from an ice cellar, making the thin man feel cold all over.

The insect swarm suddenly erupted at this moment.

Thousands of poisonous insects swarmed out from the cracks in the rocks, instantly submerging the two men's knees.

The thin man's cry for help turned into a heart-wrenching scream. He slapped his body frantically, but it only allowed more bugs to crawl in through his sleeves.

The situation of the man in the baseball cap was not much better. More than a dozen scorpions had crawled into his trouser legs, and their poisonous stings pierced his flesh mercilessly.

In less than a minute, the two were wrapped into wriggling black mummies.

The man in the baseball cap wanted to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, several centipedes took the opportunity to crawl in.

The venom mixed with extreme fear caused the two men's eyeballs to roll uncontrollably, and eventually they fainted completely.

They fell to the ground like two puppets, and the weapons in their hands fell to the rocks with a clang.

The silence lasted for about ten minutes.

Suddenly, the swarm of insects seemed to have received some silent command, and they retreated to both sides with a rustling sound, leaving a one-meter-wide path on the sand.

Xu Ying walked slowly towards him in his Martin boots, the soles of his boots making a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound on the sand.

She squatted down and skillfully checked the hunting rifle on the ground. There was not a single bullet missing in the magazine.

"It seems your boss is quite generous."

Xu Ying frowned. These people's weapons were much more professional than those of the poachers before.

When she untied the rope from her tactical belt, her movements were clean and neat, obviously she had received professional training.

Xu Ying had previously experienced large-scale tribal armed conflicts while rescuing animals in Africa, so he was not afraid of these things.

In less than three minutes, the two tomb robbers were tied up like dumplings. Xu Ying shook the knot with his hand, and the two were dragged like dead dogs towards the off-road motorcycle parked not far away.

Passing by the quietly waiting Bactrian camel, Xu Ying showed a rare gentle look.

She touched the camel's furry head and said, "Mountain, wait for me here."

The mountain rubbed her palm gently, then turned and disappeared into the shadow of the canyon.

Xu Ying said to the large group of "Five Poisons" in the canyon: "Thank you everyone, I will come back to see you with food!"

[Just come back to see us, no need to bring gifts!]

[We will protect this big camel!]

"So good!" Xu Ying praised, then got on the dune scooter.

The motorcycle engine roared like a beast, and Xu Ying drove into the depths of the desert carrying two unconscious captives.

The two people in the back seat were soon awakened by the bumpy ride.

The thin man regained consciousness first. He struggled to raise his head, his face a strange purple-blue color due to the poison.

"You bitch!" His voice was hoarse like sandpaper. "You're dead. The boss's men are on the way."

The man started coughing violently before he could finish his words, and white foam with blood came out of the corners of his mouth.

The man in the baseball cap was in a worse state, but he still forced a ferocious smile: "Let us go now, and I can leave you with an intact body."

His pupils had begun to dilate, but he was still making a final struggle, "There are dozens of people, fully armed, you can't escape."

Xu Ying didn't even turn his head, but just gently turned the accelerator.

She was going to meet up with military support.

On the motorcycle's dashboard, a tiny locator disguised as a tachometer was blinking regularly. In the rearview mirror, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from the distant skyline.

Twelve modified off-road vehicles appeared in sight like a pack of hungry wolves.

In the leading vehicle, a bald, muscular man with a face full of flesh leaned half of his body out of the window, and the double-barreled shotgun in his hand spewed out dazzling tongues of fire.

"Bang!" The bullet whizzed past the motorcycle wheel and carved a hole the size of a bowl in the hard Gobi Desert.

"Hahaha! Another shot!"

The man in the baseball cap sitting in the back seat suddenly became excited, his bound body twisting like a maggot. "See? That's the boss's henchman, Black Bear! You're done!"

Xu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly. Through her Bluetooth headset, the soldier was already reminding her to pay attention to the helicopter landing.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the nearest car was within 150 meters.

Another gunshot rang out, and this time the bullet accurately penetrated the rear fender of the motorcycle, sending metal fragments flying everywhere.

At this critical moment, a rumble like thunder suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up involuntarily - three dark green Z-10 attack helicopters swooped down from the clouds in battle formation like the mythical golden-winged Roc.

The rocket pod under the wing shone coldly in the sunlight, and the 30mm machine gun had locked onto the ground target.

“Oh shit.”

The bald man's hunting rifle fell under the car with a clang, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.

The ground was shaking more and more violently. Suddenly, two ZBL-09 wheeled armored vehicles rushed out from behind the sand dunes on both sides. The huge 8×8 tires rolled over the gravel, making a terrifying crackling sound.

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the roof slowly turned, and the black muzzle was aimed directly at the tomb robbers' convoy.

What is even more despairing is that behind each armored vehicle are twelve fully armed special forces soldiers, wearing black helmets and holding automatic rifles in ready position.

"Everyone listen!"

"Drop your weapons! Surrender now!"

A clear warning came from the loudspeaker on the armored vehicle, and the sound echoed in the desert.

The entire tomb-robbing gang was instantly thrown into chaos.

I've never seen such a scene!

This is treating them as enemies!

Who is this woman? Why does she know the legendary Miaojiang witchcraft and has the support of the military?

Some people knelt on the ground with their hands raised high, while others slumped in their seats and muttered to themselves: "We are just digging for some antiques. Is it really necessary to send out armed helicopters?"

One of the younger tomb robbers was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried out, "This is like a counter-terrorism drill!"
