Chapter 30: The Temple
The word sand chrysalis was shouted, and Ruiz didn't have the slightest change in expression, because he didn't care, and Chen Xi didn't have the slightest change in expression because he didn't understand!
Sukawa, who was retreating again and again, stopped, and in a panic, he began to check his hands, and only after a moment did he breathe a sigh of relief and stopped!
At this point, the place began to darken as the barrier above was gradually re-covered with sand.
Sukawa, who had recovered from his composure, took a torch from Reze.
"What is a sand chrysalis?"
Looking at Sukawa, who stood up, Chen Xi asked.
Probably according to the name, Sukawa was frightened again, and his body trembled slightly before he spoke slowly.
"It's a special kind of bug in the desert! Feed on the bones of dead creatures, and the adult worm is a worm the size of a grain of rice, and they are not many in number, and they are often snacks for sand swimmers!"
Chen Xi did not find the reason why Sukawa was so afraid in this explanation, and he was still a little puzzled.
"This bug can only spread according to the faint dust of sand in the air, and can only live on animal carcasses that have turned into bones, but this is only normal times!"
Speaking of this, Sukawa paused slightly, and was a little scared again. Shook his body.
"If you're unfortunate enough to come into contact with an adult of this bug, then you're going to have to die!
"This kind of bug, as long as it is touched by his adult worm, except for the sand swim beast, which can rely on the mucus under the skin to resist, any living creature will inevitably be invaded by its larvae!"
"After that, their larvae will burrow into your bones, and you will feel a strange itch in your body, but no matter how much you scratch it, you can't stop this strange itch, even if the skin is broken, even if the flesh is blurred!
"And this time is only for a week, after that, this itch will quickly spread to the whole body, making you feel like being gnawed by countless ants! Slowly, the itch will turn into pain, as if lying on countless thin needles and rolling! Finally, you will find that your body is getting weaker and weaker, softer and softer, and even like it will become a puddle of mud!"
"Of course, before you turn into a puddle of mud, you'll die!"
"The whole process depends on the number of sand chrysalis larvae entering your body, ranging from one month to three months, and most people don't live more than two weeks before they commit suicide!
"Is there no cure?"
Listening to Sukawa's answer, Chen Xi also felt a chill in his body, and couldn't help but shiver.
"No! The only theoretically feasible way is to remove the bones of the whole body, but it is obviously more impractical!"
"Two months after the death of these people, the sand chrysalis will die quickly because they can't break through the human skin, without the nourishment provided by the living body, and can't devour flesh and blood!"
After the final message of the sand chrysalis, Sukawa breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's okay! It's good that I'm turning over the armor! There's no chrysalis on it!"
At this time, Ruiz had already walked in front of the two armors, the torches in his hands were raised forward, and under the flames, maggot-like things kept jumping in the gaps in the armor, seeing this, Sukawa gritted his teeth, as if there was some great enemy in front of him, and ran up again.
"Die!"
The flames spread through the cracks in the armor, and there was a crackling sound inside, like the sound of fat dripping oil on the fire, and soon, the armor was pitch black, and under the armor, a disgusting pale green liquid slowly flowed out!
"Let's go!"
Glancing lightly at the two skeletons that were about to be devoured, Ruiz said that he had seen a lot of such scenes.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xi responded and followed, while Sukawa spat at the armor before following.
After these two episodes, Chen Xi didn't have the indifference he had before and didn't speak, I don't know if it was because of his curiosity about and found new hope.
The entire tower ended between the spiraling staircases, and several armored corpses were found on the way, and Sukawa still did not give up and took a wooden stick from Ryze, but when he stabbed it open, it was a white silk mesh and a faint surge of bugs!
On the armor, there were some scattered Ascendant symbols that he naturally didn't dare to take, after all, no one joked with life!
However, Sukawa was a little annoyed that he could not get the treasure in his hands, and he could only vent his anger on the chrysalis, and set fire to the armor with torches, but despite this, he still did not dare to collect the emblems.
Below the tower, there is an old street market, above the market, the prosperous scene seems to be still yesterday, but you can also see countless traces of panic here, countless corpses scattered on the street, including the corpses of soldiers.
The long and short knives, the brown rust on them all show the panic here, they are killing each other!
Frowning, Ryze continued walking, it seeming that the city had been spared before the disaster, but had also been buried deep underground from the beginning.
With no food, no water, and a riot soon after, countless people died, and the rest died from the depletion of resources, and a huge pile of sand in the distance told the Ryze that someone had tried to break through the barrier, but in exchange for endless sand.
Covered by the sand, the people of the city have nowhere to escape, but the remains of the ancient city of Shurima are intact, and Sukawa feels sorry for these people at the same time, but also sighs for the glory that belongs to Shurima!
Looking for wealth, Sukawa couldn't take it with them, so they simply abandoned the houses that belonged to the commoners and went straight to the more noble places in the city.
At the end of this street, there is a temple, which belongs to the unique temple of Shurima, the temple of seventy or eighty meters high looks like a stone church, but it is far more magnificent than the church, and a vast aura pierces people's hearts from above!
In front of the temple, a round of sun disks only a few meters in diameter was carved and hung on it, ancient runes flickered, and subtle golden rays flew out in all directions with this as the center.
The light disappeared not far away, but Chen Xi could predict that this should be the core of the entire barrier!
This temple is undoubtedly the most sacred place in the city, and it is also the place with the highest exploration value here, Sukawa couldn't wait the most, he ran over with a torch first!
"Don't move, if you don't want to be buried in the sand!"
Behind him, Chen Xi said in a cold voice that he didn't want to die here!
"Don't worry, I'm a veteran mercenary, I won't make such a low-level mistake!"
