The members of the archaeological team, all of whom were young and strong young men, saw that Poplar was a newcomer, but they were pointing fingers there, and everyone was a little unconvinced, but no one dared to disobey the orders of the leading experts, so they could only raise their shovels one by one and dig hard.

Bai Yang and Tie Niu also picked up shovels and followed the digging, while Ding Lingling and Hong Xing helped transfer the turned soil.

Soon the planing reached nearly two meters, and the leading expert told everyone to stop and said: "Several other figurine pits have been dug so deep at most, but now I can't even see the rammed earth layer below, and it is estimated that there can be no figurine pits!"

"Not really!" a young member of the team immediately said, "Didn't we do a survey around here before, so what kind of figurine pit is there?" I don't know on what basis this new comrade said that there is a figurine pit here!"

As he spoke, he slammed a shovel on the ground.

Unexpectedly, this pinch really touched something hard, which made his palms numb, and hurriedly shouted: "It seems that I really dug something!"

When the leading expert heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "Then dig down and dig again!"

didn't want him to say anything, and the strong guy suddenly jumped up with a "oops" shout.

Everyone was startled, and the young man jumped on one leg, clasped one foot with both hands, and cried out again and again, "Something bit me! Oh my god, he seems to have gotten into my calf!"

While screaming, he couldn't help but sit on the ground, holding one foot and screaming.

Poplar was closer to him, and hurriedly walked over to look, and happened to see a small black insect half an inch long, which came out of the soil, and tried left and right, and actually drilled a small hole in the trouser leg of the little young man who was sitting on the ground holding his feet and exhaling in pain, and directly drilled into the thigh of the little young man.

The young man immediately freed up one hand to grab his thigh, and screamed even more sharply and harshly.

Poplar was taken aback, and suddenly thought of what it was.

That's a corpse cockroach!

From his grandfather's mouth, he had long heard that the corpse cockroach was a very terrible kind of small insect in the ancient tomb, with a hard shell all over its body, and a particularly sharp head, which could easily burrow into the hard soil.

This corpse cockroach originally ate carrion, but if a living creature infested it, it would also burrow into the body of the living creature in an instant, causing the living creature to suffer and die.

"Corpse roaches, there are corpse roaches down here! Only corpse roaches will drill into human flesh, everyone go up quickly, hurry up!"

Poplar screamed as he reached out to drag the young man who was sitting on the ground screaming.

But the young man's whole body was about to collapse on the ground, and Poplar didn't hold him anywhere.

Fortunately, the Iron Bull jumped over in one step, picked up the young man with Poplar from the other side, and desperately handed him up.

Although the two armed policemen didn't know what was happening, they hurriedly put down the flamethrower and dragged the young man up.

Several other archaeological team members who participated in the excavation didn't know what the corpse cockroach was, and they were all stunned when they were called by the poplars.

Until Ding Lingling shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, come up quickly!"

A few people came to their senses, shouting and hurriedly jumping up the pit.

But it was already a little late at this time, and one after another small black insects came out from under the soil, and another archaeological team member screamed "oops", and they were about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, the Iron Bull was right next to the man, reaching out and grabbing the man.

At the same time, Ding Lingling picked up a flamethrower put on the ground by the armed police, threw it at the poplar below, and shouted: "Old Bai, breathe fire quickly!"

Poplar caught the flamethrower, but he didn't know how to use it in a hurry.

At this time, several other archaeological team members had jumped up and climbed up the edge of the pit, and only poplar, iron bull, and another archaeological team member who was supported by iron bull and screamed in pain were left in the pit.

Countless small black insects that had just come out of the ground quickly surrounded the three of them.

The three of them could only keep jumping their feet to avoid being penetrated by small insects.

Even the team member who was supported by the iron bull jumped on one leg while exhaling in pain, and he was so frightened that he was about to cry.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, one of the armed policemen above lifted another flamethrower and jumped into the pit, quickly opened the safe, and began to breathe fire towards the ground.

The corpse cockroach was originally a thing in the ancient tomb, and it was also afraid of light and fire, and when it was sprayed with a musket, it immediately re-burrowed into the soil.

"Hurry up, jump up from here, hurry!"

The armed policeman shouted as he continued to breathe fire on the ground.

Bai Yang and the other three hurriedly jumped to the part that had just been swept by the flames, and it was still Bai Yang and Tie Niu who worked together to hand the archaeological team members who had burrowed the corpse cockroach into the flesh first.

The people above hurriedly picked up the archaeological team member.

The Iron Bull jumped up and grabbed the edge of the pit.

I didn't want the poplar to scream "oops", so I sat in the pit with soft feet.

Tie Niu was taken aback, and immediately let go and jumped into the pit again, shouting, "What's wrong with you, Lao Bai?"

"I've got a corpse cockroach in my leg, too!"

Poplar screamed as he inhaled in pain.

But he knew that he would delay for a while, but he was afraid that the iron bull would also get into the corpse cockroach, so he could only endure the pain of drilling his heart, and stood up with the strength of the iron bull, and jumped up on one leg, and the iron bull grabbed his waist with his hand and sent it away, and the poplar grabbed the edge of the pit with both hands and was pulled up by the people above.

Immediately after the iron bull climbed up, only the armed police were left in the pit.

However, in this way, the armed police did not hesitate to breathe fire, and only after all the corners and corners of the pit were smoked aside, did the armed police turn off the flamethrower and throw it on the pit, and jumped up with it.

Poplar was pulled to the pit, and immediately sat down on the ground, and pinched his knee tightly with his hand to prevent the little insect in his leg from continuing to drill up.

Ding Lingling snatched it, quickly took out a sharp dagger from her body, slashed it on the leg of the poplar's trousers, and then tore it with her hand, and immediately tore a big hole in the poplar's trouser leg.

Seeing that there was something on the poplar's calf and belly, Ding Lingling gritted her teeth and stabbed the poplar's calf with the tip of the dagger.

Poplar's calf immediately flowed blood, Ding Lingling quickly put the tip of the knife into the wound, picked out a black insect and threw it on the ground, and slashed it into two pieces with a clatter.

The other two members of the archaeological team, who had been bitten by the corpse cockroach, were already screaming hoarsely.

Ding Lingling asked people to help hold down one of them, and also picked out a corpse cockroach from his leg, which was smashed to pieces by Hongxing with a shovel.

But the first member of the team to be bitten by the corpse cockroach, although Ding Lingling picked out a corpse roach from his leg and buttocks, there was a third corpse roach that burrowed into the person's body.

Ding Lingling couldn't pick it out directly with the tip of the knife, so she could only quickly find a car and send the team member to the hospital.

The leading expert's face turned pale, and he kept muttering, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"

Several other archaeological team members all looked at the poplar with resentment, feeling that it was because of the poplar that there would be such a mess.

Poplar himself also felt guilty in his heart, so he could only remain silent.

Tie Niu was very angry for Bai Yang, and said: "What are you all looking at Lao Bai? Lao Bai said that there is something here, and there is indeed something here, and he is not wrong! Moreover, he also said that it is very likely to be dangerous, and you yourself do not think so!"

The team members were reluctant to come forward to fight with the iron bull, but the resentment on their faces still did not dissipate.

The leading expert came back to his senses, grabbed Poplar's arm, and said, "What the hell is going on? You said there is a figurine pit here, but ...... Why didn't you dig the figurine pit, but so many strange insects came out......? It's okay not to die, just in case...... Is it my responsibility that my student was sent to the hospital and was rescued, or is it your responsibility?"

Poplar has nothing to say.

Tie Niu couldn't help but defend Bai Yang again, Ding Lingling hurriedly gave him a look, signaled him to be calm, and then stepped forward and said: "All corpse cockroaches will not be naturally generated, but someone deliberately kept them in the tomb to prevent someone from robbing the tomb." From this, it can be determined that there is something buried in the place that has just been dug up, even if it is not ...... The kind of colored figurines made of the human body will also be ...... Something very valuable. ”

The reason why the leading professor was so abnormal was that he was frightened, and he was worried about the safety of his students.

At this time, listening to Ding Lingling's detailed analysis, he slowly quieted down, let go of Baiyang's arm, glanced back at Ding Lingling, and said for a long time: "I used to ...... I always thought that the so-called corpse cockroaches were made up by tomb robbers, but I didn't expect that there really was such a terrible thing. ”

This veteran expert joined the archaeological line when he was young, and now he can be said to be the Taishan Beidou in the archaeological world.

But he only went to investigate and study after the tomb was discovered, and he never entered any of the original tombs.

Therefore, although he has heard of the strange spirits in the tomb, he does not believe it very much.

Now seeing it with my own eyes is like a nightmare.

Ding Lingling could understand his mood, and nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, these strange things, if you don't see them with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe!"

The old expert took another breath and calmed down, and said, "You said that place ...... There could be something of value, what could it be? But now it's all ...... Those horrible little bugs, how can we get rid of those little bugs and dig up some treasure buried underneath?"

Ding Lingling thought for a while and said, "That's it, teacher, you better go to the No. 3 figurine pit first, and leave the affairs here to us, and when we find a way to get rid of this little insect, then ask the teacher to come over!"

The old expert opened his mouth to ask her what method she was going to use, but he held back, sighed and led a few young team members away.

Ding Lingling said to the two armed police soldiers who had been guarding the side: "If you two don't pull a cordon here, as long as you don't let people get close to this place, this corpse cockroach won't take the initiative to get out and hurt people!"

The two armed police soldiers nodded together and said, "When you can use us, just ask!"

Ding Lingling nodded, and left with Bai Yang and the other three first.
