Gu Xiu took a deep breath, and slowly probed the knife into Liu Guang's heart, if I saw that there were insect eggs in the human body, I was absolutely frightened, because that creepy feeling would be devastating, but Gu Xiu didn't care so much, he slowly picked out those insect eggs with the knife head, because the insect eggs were very densely connected, so no matter how careful Gu Xiu was, he still picked them off. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info These are just exposed insect eggs, and there are more in Liu Guang's body, and this description reminds me of the corpses that I saw in the tomb of Princess Chu at that time, which were used as snake containers.

Lao Qi and You Hua didn't want to see the disgusting scene and lowered their heads. Master Qin covered his eyes with his hands, but he couldn't help but be curious, and dared to peek at them, and when Gu Xiu was looking at the insect eggs up close, he suddenly put down his hand and exclaimed, "Ah, don't get closer, this thing is a 'droplet'!"

Gu Xiu was screamed at the first glance, and instinctively threw out the insect eggs on the tip of the knife.

Speaking of this "droplet", Bao Cai also made a stir, he knows a lot about insects, and he has read a lot of ancient books, which is our encyclopedia. He said that "droplets" like to fly collectively, and when they fly, they are like catkins foam, a large patch, so the people in the Western Regions have given it a nickname "Droplets", in fact, the name of this insect is "thorny cricket".

"Spiny grass" needs to grow in a decaying and wet environment when it is young, and when it is an adult, it can adapt to a dry environment, so this insect has a characteristic of preferring to burrow inside the carcasses of animals and humans.

"Droplets" are also extremely aggressive flying insects, similar to the fireflies we encountered. They have bee-like spines, but the spines are not hard, but soft, like the stings of caterpillars, poisonous, but the most frightening part of it is not the toxins secreted in the thorns, but it loves to burrow into the mouth, nose, wounds and wounds of people or animals, and then lay eggs.

This kind of insect treasure is said to be only available in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions are vast, sparsely populated, and mostly deserts, so it is difficult for "droplets" to find suitable hosts to breed, and they are called rare species by the locals.

He had read ancient books that there was once a nobleman in the Western Regions, in order to preserve his wealth, he found a local witch to cultivate this kind of worm, and the way to cultivate it was through animal and human corpses. It is said that the old witch knows the habits and nemesis of the "droplets", so after these insects are raised, they are really used by them and become a weapon to kill.

Listening to what Baocai said, on the one hand, I think there are too many poisonous insects and poisonous weeds in the Western Regions, all of which are unheard of, weird and abnormal, and make people feel cold all over the body. On the other hand, I feel that the ancients' thinking is too ignorant, and insects are insects, which are used to attack their own kind, which is really perverted.

Old Man Gu didn't expect Baocai to know so much, and after showing a surprised expression, he nodded in approval. He said that Master Qin also said the same thing at that time, saying that the "droplet" was definitely not something that ordinary people could control, and most of the people who controlled it were old wizards who knew witchcraft, so the people who did something to Liu Guang's corpse were not only Geda, who killed people without blinking, but also a master behind them.

And Master Qin reminded Gu Xiu not to get too close to the "droplets" because it also had a special feature, especially because after its eggs felt the warm popularity, they would break out early. It's like in our time, there is such a thing as a ripening agent. And this gave birth to an inexplicable thought in my heart: "In addition to being deliberately cultivated by someone, this kind of insect may also be a trap, a trap hidden in the corpse, if Gu Xiu hadn't been reminded by Master Qin at that time, he might have been attacked by those "droplets" a long time ago." ”

Just when we were listening to it with relish, Baocai thought of something, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "Qin Baichang, I remember!"

I was confused by his startling, and hurriedly said, "What Qin Baichang?" When I pronounced this name, for some reason, I got goosebumps on my arm.

There was a slight fire in Baocai's eyes, and he said excitedly: "Do you remember what I said earlier about "The Hundred Insects of the Western Regions"?"

I didn't know what he was trying to express, so I nodded blankly, and he didn't care about my reaction, he turned his fiery gaze to Old Man Gu again, and asked, "Old man, is Master Qin's name Qin Baichang?"

Old Man Gu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Bao Cai muttered excitedly: "It turns out that it really is! The author of that strange book is really him! I thought it was all fabricated out of thin air." As he spoke, he raised his head again and asked Old Man Gu: "Then he should have been in the Western Regions for a long time and experienced a lot of things, so he was able to write "The Hundred Insects of the Western Regions". ”

Old Man Gu had never heard of the title of this book, but he recognized Baocai's words, saying that although Qin Baichang was pedantic, he was well-informed, recognized the deadly poisonous insects, and saved the lives of his ancestors, so in the later days, this Qin Baichang has been by his ancestor's side, in addition to playing the role of the Qingwu Warlock, he also recognized some poisonous insects and poisonous weeds for him......

Of course, about Qin Baichang and the "Hundred Insects in the Western Regions" he wrote, it is all a digression, and it is also a follow-up, back to business:

After Gu Xiu inspected Liu Guang's corpse, he listened to Qin Baichang's words again, and knew that his team was more than lucky, and someone deliberately killed them, so it was impossible to avoid it.

The four of them hurried through the dense forest, and the mist that lingered among the trees was faintly glowing red, it was a bloody mist!

Gu Xiu was stunned in his heart, and quickly ran out of the blurry dense forest, and when he saw the scene in front of him again, he took three steps back, his expression changed, and then the three people from the Thorn Tomb Gate who followed were also shocked and exclaimed.

The place where they had taken refuge was a clearing, with wild flowers by the brook and firewood from the soldiers' shelves for roasting fish, but now there was blood all over the ground.

When Gu Xiu saw Geda wearing the cloak of the Han army, he had a premonition that something was wrong, he imagined that something would happen to the Han army encamped, but he definitely didn't expect such heavy losses.

Although he was cold, his heart trembled when he saw that shocking picture. With trembling hands, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva raw, and staggered between corpses.

These people were hideous, the flesh on their faces seemed to have been gnawed by something, and the pits were full of blood holes. And the dried blood stains that had solidified on their faces were like a spicy web of blood, making their panicked eyes even more terrifying. From his point of view, these tragic deaths seemed to be fearing something.

In addition to the incomplete skin, some of the skulls of the Han soldiers were flattened by huge stones, like watermelons crushed by a stick, and their brains flowed to the ground, some had their throats cut off, and some had their chests and abdomen cut open...... When ordinary people see so many corpses, they will definitely be so frightened that their souls are not possessed, let alone die so miserably?

The bleak environment was filled with a strong disgusting smell, Gu Xiu covered his mouth and nose, forcibly endured the nausea, and turned over the corpse that seemed to have been attacked by the epidemic, trying to find a living mouth, but there was no one. These people's bodies are incomplete, how can they still have a chance to live?

He counted the corpses in a panic, a total of more than ninety, more than ninety corpses, such a number, it was definitely not something that Geda could kill alone, there were other people! )
