30.Chapter 30
The flames continued to burn in the sarcophagus, and the bones and countless corpses slowly turned to ashes with the flames.
Li Laosan held the scabbard with both hands, and the hands of the bones on the scabbard finally let go, fell to the ground and shattered. At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing in the tomb passage on both sides of the tomb, two winds, and the feeling of this wind blowing on the body was warm, not the kind of biting yin wind that could be felt in the tomb in the past, which made Li Laosan feel very surprised. But he didn't have much time to think about it, for there was a strange sound in the passages on both sides of the chamber, like a lot of people whispering, and when he listened closely, the voice suddenly rose in pitch and became like the roar of a wild beast.
"There is a situation, everyone be vigilant!" Li Laosan reminded.
"Third brother, look, bugs, there are so many big bugs!" Anzi, who was standing at the entrance of the tomb, suddenly shouted loudly. Li Laosan took three steps and walked over in two steps to see that a large group of corpse insects on the tomb road were slowly crawling towards the tomb. Li Laosan turned around and walked to the other entrance of the tomb, where the tomb was already densely covered with corpse insects, which were far larger than those in the sarcophagus.
Li Laosan frowned and felt a little uneasy. He knew that these must be adults who had gone out to forage, and the ones they had just burned to death were just larvae, and those larvae sent a signal for help before they died, so this army of adults rushed back.
"How much graphite powder and glutinous rice flour do we still have?" asked Li Laosan.
"Not much!" the GI summed it up in just two words.
"It's all sprinkled on the intersection, be quick, let those insects in, and we'll all have to leave it here!" Li Laosan said in a deep voice, he knew what it meant that there were not many words in the soldier's mouth, but there was no other way to do it at this step.
The GI had already set off to fetch the remaining powder, and Anzi stepped forward to help, while Lin Jun and his men stood in place at a loss. Soon, Anzi and the soldiers used graphite powder and glutinous rice flour to set up a blockade at the two entrances to the tomb.
The army of corpse insects finally arrived outside the cemetery, and they stopped outside the blockade as expected.
"It's done!" Lin Jun, who was hiding in the corner, said excitedly when he saw this scene.
"Don't be too happy, even if they can't get in, think about how we can get out!" Li Laosan said expressionlessly.
Lin Jun immediately showed a look of astonishment again, thinking about it, this was really a tricky problem.
The corpse worm team stopped in front of the blockade line, and several corpse worms tried to cross the line, but as soon as their bodies touched the powder on the ground, they immediately convulsed, and then turned into pus. They stopped moving, but in just a split second, dozens more corpse worms broke away from the ranks and rushed to the blockade.
"Oops!" Li Laosan didn't expect that these insects were not only big in size, but also had such an aura, they were going to use part of the corpse worm's body to break through the blockade first! Thinking of this, Li Laosan had already walked to the entrance, and the pus turned into the body of those corpse worms had already broken through the blockade line with a hole more than ten centimeters wide. Several smaller corpse worms also crawled into the burial chamber.
At this time, Li Laosan held the scabbard snatched from the bones in one hand, and held the steel drill in the other hand to cut the corpse insects that crawled into the tomb one after another into two pieces.
At the other entrance to the tomb, the corpse insects were breaking through the defense line in the same way, and the GI and Yasuko stood at the entrance to fend off the corpse insects that crawled into the tomb. Lin Jun and his subordinates also went up the mountain in two waves to help. But soon, the entire line of defense was breached, and thousands of corpses poured into the tomb, forcing everyone to retreat one after another.
"Quickly retreat to the edge of the sarcophagus!" Li Laosan said calmly, and the movements of his hands did not stop. The group "fought and retreated" towards the sarcophagus, but there was a guy who was not flexible enough to be too flustered, and he actually fell into a dog and ate at such a life-and-death time, and the next second, his body was crawling with corpse insects, and the guy screamed, and there was no movement after just one sound. More and more corpse worms crawled up his body, and in a short time, they sucked him into a dried corpse. At this moment, except for Li Laosan's master and apprentice, the rest of the people were extremely frightened, for fear that they would end up like this next.
"What should the third brother do now?" asked Anzi.
"Drag it out as long as you can!" Li Laosan said in a deep voice.
"And two more gasoline bottles!" said the GI suddenly.
"Where?"
"I'm afraid this ......," the soldier said hesitantly, pointing to a corner of the burial chamber, which had become the territory of corpse insects, and in the middle of the vast sea of insects, there was a military green backpack.
"I'll go!" it was Anzi who spoke, and as he spoke, he rushed out like an arrow from a string, jumping nimbly on the ground full of corpse insects, and soon arrived at the place where the backpack was, and after grabbing the backpack, he immediately turned over and ran back. The whole process only takes a dozen seconds.
Anzi handed the backpack to Li Laosan, only to find that the backpack was full of corpse insects, Li Laosan took the backpack and quickly took out the two gasoline bottles in the bag, and threw the backpack out.
Anzi was standing on the side panting, and was suddenly slapped on the back, and when he looked back, he saw that the soldier was taking a huge corpse worm that had been slapped into flesh from his back, and Anzi was shocked into a cold sweat.
Li Laosan put the scabbard and steel drill in his hand in the sarcophagus on the side, and the soldier handed over the matchbox, and Li Laosan began to light the fire, but after a few matches, it was extinguished after just a spark. I finally lit one, and before I could lean on the gasoline bottle, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the tomb, and it went out again.
"Bring it!" the soldier suddenly shouted to Anzi, who understood and reluctantly took out the lighter he had just snatched from the soldier from his pocket and returned it to the soldier.
The soldier glanced at Li Laosan, Li Laosan nodded lightly, and then smashed the two gasoline bottles out, the gasoline bottles were instantly shattered, and the gasoline splattered all over the ground. The GI swiped the flint with his thumb, and the lighter lit up a flame, and he threw it casually, and the flame arced in the air, and then landed, and the ground immediately burst into flames.
The moment the fire started, the corpse insects stopped advancing, and countless corpse insects began to roll and hover in the flames, turning into ashes. It's strange to say that those corpse insects that were not burned by the flames actually crawled into the flames one after another, like moths to a fire, turning into small fireballs.
