Chapter 149: Corpse Silkworm
Tianli tried to keep his composure, not because he was so scared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the scene in front of them was so permeating and disgusting that they looked like a funeral room in front of them. However, this burial chamber is different from other burial chambers, but a large square pit.
What is buried under the pit has long been impossible to tell. The only faint outlines can be discerned are a few stone statues under the pit, which appear to be carved with wild beasts. However, because it was a little mutilated, I couldn't tell what kind of beast it was.
Apart from this stone statue, there is only one thing under the pit. Corpse silkworms, dense corpse silkworms.
Looking up, the deep pit was full of corpses and silkworms. Layered on top of each other, because the place was too small, they could only crawl on each other's bodies, constantly writhing.
Corpse silkworms are different from ordinary silkworms because these corpse silkworms feed on carrion and bones. So these corpse silkworms are all black, with jagged teeth on their mouths.
Tianli didn't understand, the Qin Dynasty didn't know how many years it had been. Even if there were corpses here, they should have been eaten by these corpse silkworms a long time ago, and what did these corpse silkworms rely on to survive until now.
Looking into the distance, there is a deep pit. Less than thirty meters away from them, there was a hole in the wall that was the same as where they were standing.
It was only thirty meters away, and they could jump over. But between the two holes hung something, a huge white silkworm cocoon.
The size of the cocoon is surprisingly large, and just such a cocoon actually occupies half of the room. At the top of the cocoon, there are only a few seemingly thin silk threads attached to the top of the wall, and they shake as if they will break at any time.
Needless to say, Tianli also knew that the silkworm cocoon must be the silkworm king, in fact, Tianli didn't want to meet an alien like Xiang silkworm.
In the eyes of Buddhism, silkworms are sacred beasts, because the cocoon of silkworms into butterflies is very similar to Buddhism's nirvana.
However, there is also a legend that the silkworm is the guide of hell. Some people say that silkworms are dead the moment they form cocoons, and that the butterflies that emerge from the cocoons are ghosts that lead people to hell.
If you look closely, you will see that the pair of wings of a butterfly are viewed together. The pattern on the butterfly's wings is like a grimace, and legend has it that if you follow the butterfly all the time, you will be taken to hell.
Therefore, Tianli has always wanted to provoke these aliens, but now they have no choice, and if they want to go to the other side, they can only pass by the giant cocoon.
But just when Tianli and Shui Ruo had just jumped, the huge cocoon suddenly writhed. The thin silk at the top of the cocoon finally seemed to be unable to support the weight of the giant silkworm, only to hear a click The silk suddenly broke.
Looking at the giant cocoon that suddenly fell, there was a bad premonition in the sky. But if he and Shui Ruo were already jumping in the air, they had no other choice, and Tianli could only pray that something would happen when they jumped over.
But things always backfired, and the giant cocoon fell into those corpse silkworm groups. The giant cocoon was already heavy and huge, and suddenly countless silkworms were knocked into the air.
The rest of the corpse silkworms also seemed to be very afraid of the giant cocoon, and quickly crawled towards the front of the surrounding area.
The corpse silkworms were not big, only about the size of a child's finger.
Seeing those corpse silkworms that were knocked away, Shui Ruo's face changed slightly. Just when they were still a few meters away from the exit on the other side, Shui Ruo suddenly grabbed Tianli's shoulder and flew to the side.
At the same time, several corpse silkworms flew almost against their faces, because the corpse silkworms were very close to them, so Tianli could see that the corpse silkworms that had been knocked out of the air seemed to be spitting something out of their mouths.
The slender and long ones are like the saliva of those corpse silkworms, but they have never been broken in the mouth of the corpse silkworms.
Tianli suddenly flashed a word silk in his mind, and those things that were like saliva should be the silk of those corpse silkworms.
Thinking of silk, Tianli couldn't help but shake his body, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared.
Shui Ruo looked at Tianli, whose expression became a little nervous, and some didn't know why. Tianli always stared at those silks, and seemed to care very much.
"Do you want those corpse silks?"
Shui Ruo asked the sky softly.
Who knows, Tianli hurriedly shook his head after hearing Shui Ruo's words. Corpse silk is very rare, but Tianli doesn't dare to ask for it.
Although corpse silk is the best way to make soft armor and other things, it is very rare even in the cultivator world. But the corpse silk Tianli didn't dare to ask for it, because the silk protruding from the mouths of these corpse silkworms was highly poisonous.
The longer the corpse silkworm survives, the better the corpse silk it spits out, but the more toxic it is.
I don't know that the corpse silkworm that has survived for hundreds or thousands of years is estimated to be poisoned to death if it is touched.
Shui Ruo dragged Tianli to float above the giant pit, Tianli felt really embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped next to Shui Ruo.
Tianli simply hated the giant cocoon, because of its sudden fall, they were trapped here. The surrounding walls were almost crawling with zombie silkworms, and most of them had been hit by giant cocoons.
So the corpse silk in their mouths was connected from the deep pit to the wall where they landed, and countless corpse silks were woven into a huge net in the air.
Heaven and now they are like butterflies that have accidentally broken into a spider's web, and it is simply a dilemma.
Fortunately, those corpse silkworms didn't seem to care much about them and didn't attack them.
The eyes of the two ordinary black beans of those corpse silkworms stared straight at the giant cocoon under the deep pit, and they seemed to be very afraid.
Tianli looked at the bottom of the pit and suddenly startled him. There were originally dense corpse silkworms under the deep pit, but now there is not a single one.
There was a huge cocoon left under the pit, but it looked a little empty. At this time, Tianli really saw what was under the pit and nothing.
Nothing but a black, unidentified liquid. Probably all of them were eaten by these corpse silkworms, except for a few stone statues that could not be eaten.
At this time, there was no sound in the whole room, and they didn't want to alarm those corpse silkworms, and those corpse silkworms didn't dare to disturb the giant cocoon.
Suddenly, there was a thud from under the pit, as if someone had torn a piece of cloth.
Listening to that voice, Tianli could feel his heartbeat quickening.
The silk on the surface of the cocoon began to peel off little by little, and the whole process was very slow. Slow to the point that Tianli could clearly feel that his heart would tremble with every time the silk peeled off.
But after a while, silk was already scattered all over the ground under the deep pit. But the cocoon only got a little smaller, and the contents still didn't come out.
