"Are you alright?" Professor Jia raised the flashlight in his hand and shone it on us. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I looked at him with a faint smile on his face, a little surprised that he was able to get it back, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't separate the murderous aura in his eyes from the smile that was slightly happy at this time. He looked at the three of us, and finally looked at me again, and said heavily, "Brother Xiaohuang, are you all right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "We're fine, but during the day he broke his head and his bare foot looked like he had fallen." ”

Professor Jia nodded and said, "It's okay, just now we ran to the front and counted the number of people only to find that you didn't follow, so we came back to look for it, I'm afraid it's still not safe here, it's better to leave quickly." After speaking, he told the foreigner to carry the daytime on his back, and he himself carried the day's backpack.

I thought of the horror of those bugs, my heart trembled, and I strode forward with him.

"Professor Jia, those bugs, what do you call fruit flies, what are they? Can a person's body decay in an instant? "As I walked, I couldn't help but ask the questions in my mind.

In the dark, I saw that Professor Jia's face was still pale, his brows were furrowed, and he said: "Do you remember the purpose of this trip I told you before, if these carrion fruit flies really exist, I am afraid that it will confirm my point of view even more, and there must be the tomb of the king of Nanyue buried in this underground." ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect these insects to have anything to do with the ancient tombs, but I listened to Professor Jia continue: "Although the Nanyue Kingdom has not existed for a long time in history, there are some places that people have to marvel, one of which is some of the tortures it performed. I have seen in some documents that the South Vietnamese State made good use of insect punishment against traitors, that is, they put prisoners in sealed places, drove insects and flies in, and let insects and flies eat their flesh and blood and die, and the death was extremely terrifying. One of these insects and flies is the carrion fruit fly. ”

Thinking of the deaths of those people before, this ancient punishment is really cruel, otherwise it would not be able to deter the people and maintain the status of the ruler, but no, if this carrion fruit fly is really a product of the era of the Nanyue Kingdom, can it live for thousands of years in this invisible earth, I should tell Professor Jia what I think in my heart.

Professor Jia thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly how it is, but I guess that the eggs of these carrion fruit flies have the ability to sleep in a specific environment, and they will only hatch under a certain external force." The people in the vanguard we met earlier, somehow disturbed the dormant carrion fruit flies, they also died under the strong corrosive ability of these carrion fruit flies, alas, all blame me, I should have noticed a long time ago, carrion fruit flies usually lay eggs on the carcasses after the bodies of carrioners, we turned those corpses, they must have hatched out......"

I didn't speak, still digesting Professor Jia's words in my heart, marveling at the ability of this species to reproduce against the sky. It's just an instant, how many lives are gone, this underground is really full of dangers, it seems that we really despised this rescue trip before.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Professor Jia coughed dryly and said, "Once the carrion fruit fly touches the flesh, it will immediately secrete strong acid to corrode the flesh and lay eggs in the bones, and the only way to destroy them is to burn them with fire." If it is not burned immediately, in less than a quarter of an hour, countless carrion flies will hatch......"

He probably wanted to explain why he was spewing fire at the archaeological team at that time, no wonder we approached the passage earlier and found that the mountain wall was full of traces of fire, but I am afraid that Luo Dascar's first team also encountered this terrible insect, and they were shocked, and they didn't know who was the first to burn it with fire, so that the others had time to escape.

After walking for a while, we saw other people, each with the exhaustion of fear on their faces, but they could not see the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, who could guarantee that they would go forward and not encounter some terrible things again.

Everyone rested for a while before Professor Jia urged everyone to leave. It's just that everyone has a gloomy face, just hoping to find the rest of the vanguard team and leave here, and they have long lost the mood when they set off.

Going down the mountain road in the dark, although it is not more difficult than the previous road, but it is frightening step by step, everyone squeezes the guy in their hands tightly, for fear of jumping out of the dark again, all the way to the hard work, the physical fatigue is fine, the mental tension is fatal.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly Professor Jia, who was leading the way in front, stopped, but everyone twitched in their hearts, thinking that they had encountered something again, but they didn't think about it, but they heard him say that there was an underground river in front of him.

As soon as he said this, I heard a thin sound of water in front of me, and when I got closer, I found that there was no way to go down the mountain road, and I had to row a boat to go any further. I looked at the dark water, and the light of the flashlight did not even reflect sporadically, as if swallowed by the darkness. The thought of paddling on such a surface of water, only afraid of the fear in my heart, can already scare myself to death.

When I was still looking around, Professor Jia had already asked the two foreigners to take out the inflatable rafts from their backpacks and quickly inflate the two rafts. I didn't expect the archaeological team to be so well prepared, they even had rafts, and I was just about to go up to help, but I heard Professor Jia say that the advance team also had the same equipment, and they must have gone from here, and according to the direction of the current, they must also go downstream, and we have to chase after it quickly.

Professor Jia also said that he didn't know how far he had to go, so he asked everyone to check their equipment. Mangohead and I still have backpacks, but nothing but some improvised life-saving tools and some food. When Professor Jia and his archaeological team checked, they found that there was not much food and water left, because most of the backpacks containing food and water were on the two foreigners who died and an archaeological team member, and the backpacks on their bodies during the day did not even have food and water.

There were ten people when we went underground, and now there are seven of us left, and I sat on an inflatable raft with Mangotou, Professor Jia, and a foreigner to open the way, while another foreigner, the injured Bai Day, and the bespectacled archaeological team member followed, and the two rafts were tied with a nylon rope.

I sat on one side with Mango, holding two oars and paddling gently, I found that although the underground river looks calm on the surface, in fact, the speed of the flow below is not slow, I didn't use much force, the inflatable raft has been rowed far away, you must know that the fat boy Professor Jia sitting in front of me has a lot of fat.

The inflatable raft paddled slowly in the quiet underground river, and the silence around it was terrifyingly quiet, and everyone's nerves were tense for fear of what would happen. The top of the head was originally wide, but as we went, it became lower and lower, until finally, we had to bow our head slightly before we could pass.

By the light of the powerful searchlight of the foreigner in front of me, I saw that the mountain wall above my head actually had traces of flooding, once the underground river rose, it must have submerged all here, and now we can pass smoothly, which can be said to be extremely lucky.

Xiang'an crossed a section without incident, the mountain wall above the head is getting higher and higher, and the two sides are getting wider and wider, I believe that we have just crossed the narrowest section, I am slightly relieved, but at this time, I heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water behind.

Mango Tou and I stopped what we were doing, and turned our heads to look behind us, only to see the water splashing on the water, a person struggling desperately in the water, and the sound of "gurgling" constantly drinking water. By the light of the powerful searchlight in the hands of the foreigner in front of us, we saw that the man was actually the archaeological team member wearing glasses, and somehow, he actually fell into the water.

The foreigner who was in the same boat with him was leaning out, raising the oars and shouting for him to catch, although the archaeological team members caught it, but for some reason, the foreigner couldn't pull him, and the inflatable raft was shaking, just afraid that if it continued like this, the boat would capsize. During the day, his face was pale, and he was so frightened that he clung to the raft and did not dare to move. Since the two rafts were connected by ropes, even ours shook under their influence.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, I threw the oars in my hand, quickly narrowed the distance between the two rafts, jumped over in the air, and worked with the foreigner to pull the archaeological team member. As soon as I got into it, I realized that the man was as heavy as a plumb sinker, as if there was something under the water that was holding him tightly to us.

Seeing that the archaeological team member was drinking water and the whites of his eyes were about to turn out, a hand suddenly stretched out from my side, and Professor Jia's white and chubby hand grabbed the man's other hand, pulled him hard, and finally pulled him onto the raft. Everyone sat on the raft panting, and the archaeological team members were lying in the raft spitting water, afraid that if it was too late, drinking water would kill him. Fortunately, this raft is an eight-person raft, which is wide enough, otherwise this toss would have turned over a long time ago.

"What the hell is going on? Why did he fall into the water when he was so good? I asked the foreigner, the foreigner muttered in English, spoke quickly and urgently, how could I understand, and asked the day, it took him a long time before he said that he didn't know, he was resting with his eyes closed, and he heard the sound of falling water.

"Uncle, look at his feet, what is that?" Mango was lying on another inflatable raft and held a flashlight in his hand to shine on one of the man's feet.

I looked at the feet of the archaeological team member, and saw that one of his shoes had gone somewhere, probably fallen into the water, but there was a layer of swarthy things stuck to the feet, and the flashlight could reflect the light. I had the audacity to dip my hand into it, but I couldn't shake it off, and I had to wipe it vigorously on the raft to wipe it off.

"Oil!" During the day, he dragged his injured leg over and said.

There is oil in this underground, I really didn't expect that, according to the principle of oil generation, if there was this Nanling land, it should have been discovered by the country a long time ago. However, there are no absolutes in the world, and it is difficult for us to inadvertently discover it.

"No," Professor Jia took a flashlight at the feet of the archaeological team member and said, "This is corpse oil!" ”

"Corpse oil? You mean the kind of oil in the human body? I was shocked, and even asked strangely, but Professor Jia understood, he nodded, and said: "It's that kind of oil, the corpse oil is heavier than the proportion of water, it sinks to the bottom of the water, and it is extremely viscous. ”

I opened my mouth wide in shock, not because he fell into the water, but because I thought that if the underground river was full of corpse oil, how many people would have to die to accumulate such a thick layer?

I picked up the flashlight and shone it under the water, it was still dark, just now I accidentally encountered the river water, but it was very cool, but when I thought of the bottom of the river there was a layer of corpse oil, I felt creepy, even the white sweat dripped down.

"He's awake." During the day, he suddenly shouted, only to see the bespectacled archaeological team member (referred to as glasses) spit out a mouthful of water and woke up faintly.

Professor Jia picked up a backpack, raised his head, and asked him how he fell into the water, he coughed twice, saying that he was paddling with a paddle just now, and suddenly saw a little light in the water, he reached out to grab it, but as soon as he poked out, he fell down. Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed, and he said that the soles of his feet were very painful.

The foreigner took off the socks on his feet in two or two times, and found that under his feet, he was actually sucking a few small fish-like things, which were shining with a faint green light in the dark.

Professor Jia picked out all the small fish-like things with a dagger, and found that they actually had barbs, as if they were sucking blood. The foreigner stepped on them hard, but he didn't trample them to death, and he was still jumping hard.

"These things originally lived in this underground, and they may have been invading this corpse oil for a long time, and they have become particularly sensitive to the oil and gas in the human body. Professor Jia said.

The glasses may have just seen the light emitted by these small fish-like things in the bottom of the water, and I don't know if they were under evil and carried them headlong.

Seeing that the glasses were fine, Professor Jia told everyone to hurry up, saying that the front might be almost there, and he didn't say anything.

Ever since I knew that there was a layer of corpse oil underwater, I suddenly felt that the originally cool river water had become extremely gloomy. Could it be that the king of Nanyue is a demon king who kills people without blinking, and he killed all the people who built his tomb to form this corpse oil layer?

Suddenly, the lights in front of him dimmed, and it was the foreigner who put away the searchlight, saying that it was to save electricity, and used a strong flashlight to illuminate it instead, which made the hearts of everyone who had been rowing in this dark ground for a long time even more depressed.

When the underground river reached this section, it suddenly became much more urgent, and we had to control it hard to avoid capsizing, and when everyone struggled to move forward in the river, the current gradually slowed down, and it turned out that the underground river channel made a bend here, and when we paddled through the bend, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
