Chapter 104: Mass Grave Poisonous Corpse Worms
When Zhou Xuan shouted, Li Yong and another police officer in front walked side by side, Zhou Xuan shouted, Li Yong reacted quickly and quickly retreated.
But at this moment, the stone under his feet suddenly fell down.
Li Yong stepped back, but he was still on top of the fallen stone, and another police officer was in front of him, and he fell below without any reaction.
Fang Jianjun was right behind Li Yong, reaching out and grabbing his arm, and struggled to lift it out.
Fortunately, when Li Yong heard Zhou Xuan's shout, he stepped back a little, Fang Jianjun just reached it, and he couldn't do anything about the policeman.
Lan Gao and Li Jinlong and others quickly stepped forward and used a strong light to shine into the pit that appeared from the fallen, and they couldn't help but be surprised!
This pit is more than ten zhang deep, and it seems to be at least twenty meters deep, and the length and width cannot be seen at all, because every ten meters there is a stone pillar built up, and I don't know how many stone pillars there are.
And the most frightening thing is that the pit is full of dead people's bones, everywhere, there is no head in sight, how many people have died here?
Seeing that everyone was shocked, another police officer shouted by the pit: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, did you hear me call?" ”
Xiao Liu, the police officer who fell, didn't even hear a cry, and several people on the edge of the pit shone a strong light into the pit, and finally saw Xiao Liu's backpack directly below.
However, people can no longer see that it is a person, a pair of hands stretched out in the air and raised upwards, and the body is full of black and dense small beetle-like things.
Xiao Liu's mouth was wide open, but what poured out of his mouth were countless such insects, and when the bright light of the blue high-level light shone on him, only the hands stretched out in mid-air and flesh remained, and then those insects swarmed into their hands, and where the insects went, they turned into white bones!
What is this situation? What's this weird thing?
It is estimated that several people on the edge of the pit are stunned!
Li Jinlong exclaimed: "Yes...... It's a corpse worm, everyone get out of the way, get ...... quickly"
The blue senior also saw that the corpse worm that had eaten up the flesh and blood of the police officer climbed up the pit on his side along the stone pillar, and the speed was not slow, and it could not fall down on the smooth stone surface!
It is estimated that the few people watching there immediately knew the danger, and they all stood up and quickly retreated.
Li Jinlong had actually only heard of such things as corpse insects, but had never seen them, and tomb robbers like them and the Wang Qiang brothers had studied them.
At present, there are also corpse insects in the world, but the species and number are relatively small, only in North America, there are generally two names, one is called burial insects, also known as hammer beetles, belonging to the largest order of insects - Coleoptera, burial insects. There are about 175 species in the world. Most of the dead and decaying carcasses of insectivores are buried, and they are transformed into substances that are easier to recycle in the ecosystem, like scavengers in nature, which play a role in purifying the natural environment. Some of them live in hive nests that resemble bees; In particular, some species live in caves and eat bat droppings.
But this kind of corpse insect in the tunnel now is by no means any of the one hundred and seventy-five species in existence, this is the legendary corpse king worm of the ancient tomb robbery series, and the body of any living or dead animal will be devoured in less than a minute under this corpse worm, and only a pile of white bones remains.
If the corpse worms in this pit of ten thousand corpses ran into the passage now, then the sixteen of them would only be left with a pile of white bones in less than a minute!
Professor Yang Guang even understood that he was really frightened and excited in his heart, those creatures that have been living in ancient legends, today he saw two kinds!
But although I saw it, I also understood the power of these things, and if one is not good, it may add a white bone to the underground pit!
Everyone was a little flustered, and there were only a few people in front of them, such as Li Jinlong and Lan Gao, who saw the corpse insects, they stepped back, turned around and shouted: "All quit, hurry up!" ”
Zhou Xuan naturally knew that there was danger, but his ice qi couldn't be detected that far, but he measured that the fallen stone just now was empty, and there was a mechanism under that place, as long as people stepped on it, they would fall into the deep pit below, but he didn't know that there was this kind of corpse insect in the pit below.
Zhou Xuan saw that the expressions on the faces of the senior Lan and Li Jinlong were frightened, and their movements were flustered, so he knew that something was wrong.
In his mind, Lan Gao has always been calm and calm when he encounters trouble, and nothing seems to make him panic, but his current expression is quite flustered, could it be that there is something terrible in the pit? Or even something far more terrible than the poisonous "cockroach"?
But think about it, because the cockroach can only survive in the pool, as long as it does not touch the water in the pool, then there is no danger, so although the cockroach is extremely poisonous, the danger is actually not very great.
Lan Gao rushed to the back and shouted directly to Wei Haihong and Zhou Xuan: "Third child, Xiao Zhou, ...... Come on! ”
Although Wang Qiang and Wang Sheng's brothers have never seen this kind of corpse insect, they know a lot about some legendary ancient monsters handed down by the ancestors of tomb robbers, and there are many tombs that have been robbed, but they have never really seen these things, but just now they clearly saw the power of this corpse insect, so they quickly turned around and ran.
When the corpse insect was about to go up to the passage above the pit, Zhou Xuan's ice qi was felt, his face changed, and he hurriedly handed the strong light to Wei Xiaoqing, who was empty-handed, and shouted, "You take it!" He dragged Fu Ying with one hand and Wei Xiaoqing with the other, and said to Wei Haihong: "Brother Hong, hurry up, don't stay!" ”
To be honest, it won't work if you don't run, because everyone has run away from here, and only the four of them are left at the end.
Wei Haihong looked behind him as he ran, those black whisking beetles were very fast and numerous, although they were only in this passage, they gave people the feeling that they were all over the mountains.
In the time to run back, he couldn't think about it at all, because the speed of the corpse insect was very fast, and it was only six or seven meters away from Wei Haihong at the back, Zhou Xuan shouted while running: "Brother Hong, hurry up...... Hurry up! ”
Wei Haihong's feet flashed when he ran, maybe he was too nervous, or maybe he was too fast and tired, this time he fell into the passage, but the corpse insects were only less than three meters apart!
Zhou Xuan was in a hurry, and immediately let go of the hands holding Fu Ying and Wei Xiaoqing, and shouted, "You two run!" After speaking, he quickly turned around and pressed his hand to the stone slab, and the ice qi was transported out with all his strength without hesitation, transforming the corpse insects within six or seven meters behind Wei Haihong into golden insects!
Zhou Xuan's ice qi was used too violently, and his brain was dizzy, but he tried to hold back so that he didn't faint, and when the corpse insects in the range of nearly six or seven meters turned into golden insects, he pulled Wei Haihong up and dragged him away, but when they were together, they saw that Fu Ying and Wei Xiaoqing didn't leave, but turned to stare at him, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Look at what, run!" ”
At this time, thousands of more corpse insects in the back rolled over from the golden insect face, and the situation was even more critical.
Zhou Xuan's use of ice qi is too powerful, and the consumption is very large, originally the ice qi is the largest consumption of transformation molecules, and those corpse insects seem to be endless, but his ice qi is not endless!
Running back much faster than it had come, passing through the entrances of several passages and then back into the small stone chamber with six entrances.
Everyone else stayed there, because they didn't know which passage was safe, Li Jinlong was even more anxious and sweated out, the mechanism and danger of the Nine Songs and Eighteen Caves he had heard from the older generation, left, every road to the left, which side is the left?
Fu Ying and Wei Xiaoqing ran in first, then Wei Haihong and Zhou Xuan, and the people inside were shining with strong lights, and they had already seen that the corpse insects were already fifteen or sixteen meters away!
Zhou Xuan took a few breaths, and then said to Professor Yang Guang: "Professor Yang, give me your jar!" ”
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?" ”
When Li Jinlong heard Zhou Xuan's shout, he immediately understood, and quickly pulled Yang Guang in front of him, ripped off the backpack on his back, opened the zipper and took out the sealed jar.
Yang Guang immediately understood what Li Jinlong and Zhou Xuan meant, and hurriedly said, "No...... Don't open it...... Don't open the jar......"
After Zhou Xuan took a breath, he said angrily: "Pedanty! ”
These professors and scholars have always valued research more than anything else, but they don't want to think about the current situation, when the corpse worm arrives, everyone will become white bones, can he still live?
Li Jinlong carefully opened the sealed bag, opened the mouth of the jar, and looked at the corpse insects in front of them, which were only four or five meters away from them.
Li Jinlong looked at the place, and then threw the jar over, and the water in the jar poured out and flowed horizontally on both sides of the passage, and the two claws were bounced on the stone slab without water.
The corpse insects that came up from behind paused slightly when they came to the edge of the water, and they seemed to be a little afraid of the water, but there were too many corpse insects in the back, and the front ones couldn't stop and didn't go, and the back ones stepped on and turned over, layer by layer, and collapsed in front of them, and they were planted in the water stains, and the lights of everyone in the stone room shone here, and they clearly saw the purple smoke rising, and the corpse insects turned into smoke in an instant.
The two mantisses flicked and fell into the corpse insects, and the smoke rose up, with the body of the mantis as the center, a circle of corpse insects turned into smoke and rose and disappeared.
The people in the stone room were all relieved, they stopped the corpse insects for the time being, but they were worried, if they didn't quickly find a way to retreat and escape, the water would dry up and disappear, and the corpse insects would cross over sooner or later, and then it would be the time for all of them to die!
Li Jinlong was so anxious that he shouted: "Left, left, which side is left?" ”
Lan Gao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't think about it, let's go to the third hole, the second hole is excluded, because the left side of the passage we came to is the correct way, the first one is the passage with corpse insects, then this is not the road we came from, and it is not the correct passage, so the second one is ruled out, there is no time, hurry up, the water is about to dry!" ”
