Volume 1 The Beginning of the Tomb Search Chapter 32 The Bone Eater Firefly

The cry was so clear that it seemed to be not far away.

Bai Yang immediately stood up straight, shone a flashlight, raised his voice and asked, "Who the hell is crying, come out quickly!"

"What's wrong with Lao Bai?" Iron Bull immediately asked.

Instead of answering immediately, Poplar shone his flashlight on all sides while listening carefully.

After making sure that there was no figure in sight and no more crying, Poplar replied, "It's okay!"

After that, he didn't dare to turn around and walk back directly, but turned sideways, paying attention to the movement behind him, and walked sideways back to the mountain nest.

It wasn't until Tie Niu reached out to take the dry firewood he was holding that Poplar quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongxing had already lit the fire, and the flickering light of the fire was projected on Poplar's face, and it could be seen that his handsome face was quite frightened.

"Are you...... What did you hear again?" Hongxing blurted out.

"It's okay!" Poplar smiled reluctantly and shook his head, "Anyway, let's respond to all changes with the same and stay up until dawn tomorrow!"

"I'm afraid of ......" Hongxing spit out two words, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and she didn't dare to finish her words.

The three of them were all terrified in their hearts, and for a while no one spoke, but sat down next to the fire.

Poplar and Iron Bull both carried military kettles, Hongxing also carried a plastic bottle for water, and the other three all carried some dry food such as biscuits.

So the three of them silently ate dry food.

Tie Niu wanted to make Hongxing happy, and was racking his brains to say something happy, Hongxing suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I've heard a lot of people say a lot about it...... Big dumplings and the like, I think since these things can be restrained by salt, or black donkey's hooves, then there is nothing to be afraid of! But now, ...... Obviously, there are no ancient tombs in this place, in the end...... What did we encounter?"

"Didn't Lao Bai say it, he's sure there's an ancient tomb here, but we haven't found it yet!" said Tie Niu, looking back at the poplar.

Poplar, however, did not seem to hear him, and turned his head sideways to look at the hollow at the very top of the nest.

"What are you looking at, Lao Bai?" Iron Bull asked immediately.

"There, you guys really...... Didn't see anything?" Poplar asked, gesturing toward the place.

"What do you see, Lao Bai, don't deliberately scare people, okay?" Hongxing said, moving her seat closer to Tie Niu.

Tie Niu Fang wanted to defend Poplar, but when he saw Poplar take a breath, he finally turned around.

"Lao Bai, have you seen it again...... What did you say?" Iron Bull asked immediately.

"Yes!" Poplar nodded, "It's just that the light is too bright during the day, and I can't see it very clearly, but it's just ......."

"Did you see it clearly? What is that?" Iron Bull asked.

"That's a kind of ...... Small bugs, lots and lots of them come together, shining brightly, a bit like ...... Fireflies, but much bigger than fireflies! and...... That kind of green light, it's really like ...... Legendary Ghost Fire!"

Poplar carefully chooses the words and speaks slowly and slowly.

Hongxing was a little frightened again, and couldn't help but shrink back and asked, "What are you talking about, Lao Bai?"

"It's not a fantasy, it's not a dream!" Poplar shook his head, "You can believe it or not, but ...... When I found the tomb of the Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty before, I saw it...... Some illusions that no one else can see!"

"Yes, yes!" Tie Niu immediately said, "Hongxing, this is true, when Lao Bai said that he saw two ...... A lot like a wolf and a dog and it turned out to be ......"

"As a result, we found the tomb of the Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty there!"

Bai Yang immediately caught Tie Niu's words, avoiding that Hongxing also knew that "Blood Wolf Guarding the Tomb", once it was talked, no matter how careless Tie Niu was, he couldn't help but have a knot in his heart.

Hongxing looked at the poplar with a suspicious face, then looked at the iron bull, and then turned her head to look at the place where the poplar had just looked.

Tie Niu simply stood up and walked over, took a flashlight and shone it again and again, and then walked back and said, "There is still nothing there! Lao Bai, the last time you saw that thing that looked like a wolf and a dog, it turned out that something really bit me! This time I saw it again...... It's a firefly-like thing, it's not going to be ...... This firefly-like thing can bite people too!"

He said as he deliberately laughed.

He was trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed, but when Bai Yang and Hong Xing said the last sentence, they had already trembled together, and Hong Xing blurted out first: "Bone Eater Firefly, Lao Bai saw it...... Could it be the legendary bone-eating firefly?"

"Yes, it's a bone-eating firefly!" Poplar called out.

Tie Niu was stunned by the two of them, closed his mouth with a smile all of a sudden, looked at this, looked at that, and said, "What kind of bone-eating fireflies, why are you two so unified this time?"

Hongxing moved her lips, but she didn't speak, just looked at Poplar.

Poplar took a breath and said, "According to my grandfather's notebook, there is an extremely strange little flying insect in the ancient tomb, which glows green and feeds on rotten human bones, so the Inverted Dou Realm calls it a bone-eating firefly. However, the bone-eating fireflies are afraid of light and fire, and are extremely rare in nature, and can basically only survive in ancient tombs that do not see the light of day. Therefore, some tomb builders will deliberately place a large number of bones in the ancient tombs to generate bone-eating fireflies to help guard the ancient tombs from being stolen and excavated. ”

"Guarding the ancient tomb, meaning this bone-eating firefly is still very powerful?" Iron Bull asked again.

"It's not just powerful, it's terrifying!" Poplar sighed, "Legend has it that this bone-eating firefly stings people like a wasp, but it doesn't kill people immediately after it bites, and it doesn't make people feel painful, but it does make people see some extremely terrifying visions! and...... The harder you are bitten, the more often you see this kind of vision! Although two of the four inverted fighters escaped, one went crazy and the other committed suicide, and it is possible that they ...... I just can't stand the torture of illusions!"

Tie Niu was stunned when he heard this, and turned his face to look at Hongxing, but saw that Hongxing's face was pale, and he rolled up his legs, rested his chin on his knees, and shrunk his whole body into a ball, staring at the fire in a daze.

"It's not as terrible as Lao Bai said!" Tie Niu immediately comforted Hongxing, "Besides, we didn't go to the grave, and ...... Didn't Lao Bai say that thing is afraid of light and fire? We have this fire here, and that thing doesn't dare to fly up and bite us!"

Hongxing suddenly looked up at Bai Yang and asked, "Lao Bai was not ...... by this Bone-eating fireflies bite, why do you see such visions?"

"As I just said, when I found the tomb of the Taoist priest of the Qin Dynasty before, I had already seen the illusion, and if you ask me why I saw it, I myself am also very confused! But it is precisely because I have seen the things that will be in these ancient tombs that I am so sure that there must be ancient tombs here!"

Hongxing looked at him, took a long breath, and rested her chin on her knees again.

But soon she raised her face again and said, "It's still not right! Even if there is an ancient tomb here, there is indeed a tomb in it...... Bone Eater Fireflies, but as you just said, Bone Eater Fireflies are afraid of light and fire, and they can't come out of the ancient tombs, so why did several villagers in Guopo Village also see terrible sights? And two of them fell to their deaths in the ravine, and two of them went crazy and sick?"

"This ...... I don't know!" Poplar could only tell the truth.

"Could it be ......" Tie Niu spoke, but suddenly stopped.

Poplar and Red Apricot all looked at the Iron Bull.

Tie Niu scratched his scalp and said, "It's me who is cranky, you didn't say it to me?"

Poplar actually understood what he was trying to say, so he didn't ask anymore, just looked at the red fire in front of him.

Hongxing looked at Tie Niu with two eyes, suddenly sighed faintly, and said, "You want to say...... Those people in Guopo Village, could it be that they have met ...... I know you're afraid of me, but if you don't say it, won't I be afraid?"

Tie Niu looked embarrassed and had nothing to say.

Hongxing reached out and took her backpack, took out a roll of thin rope from it, and took out a sharp knife from her waist, cut the rope in two small pieces, and then used the two small pieces of thin rope to tie the trouser legs tightly.

"What are you doing?" Tie Niu asked stunned.

"When I first heard Comrade Bai mention the bone-eating fireflies, whether it was true or not, I was always cautious! So I tied up my trouser legs so that they wouldn't get in through my trouser legs! If I really encountered them, I just had to take care of my head!"

Tie Niu heard her say this, firstly, in order to show his support for her, and secondly, to take precautions, he hurriedly asked for Hongxing's knife to cut off the thin rope a few more times.

The knife was very sharp, and its shape was thin and pointed, very different from a normal dagger.

"Hongxing, your knife is so sharp, why don't I see this kind of knife on the market?" Tie Niu asked, flipping through the knife with it.
