"Poof", the strip of cloth burst, and a red smoke erupted from the mummy's mouth. The altar was the closest, and it was almost hit by red smoke, if he hadn't reacted quickly and avoided it, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.

The red smoke shot up into the sky, hovered around the coffin, and gradually gathered into a cloud and rushed down towards us. The direction is right, the goal is accurate, just like having eyes.

"Run!" I didn't bother to look at the jar and glasses, because the red smoke came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had caught up with me. I turned my head to look, and saw a red patch following behind me. Suddenly, I stumbled under my feet, and one fell to the ground. It turned out that when I turned around, I didn't look at the road, and I tripped over Lao Bai who suddenly came over.

I thought I was going to give an account of this time, but the red smoke turned around and rushed towards Lao Bai, falling on it one after another. I shone it with a flashlight, and then I saw that it was not red smoke at all, but a kind of transparent strange worm, and their stomachs were filled with a red liquid, like mosquitoes sucking blood, and their bodies were red and swarmed, making them look like a puff of red smoke.

The insects that stung Lao Bai's body became transparent again after pouring all the red water in their stomachs into Lao Bai's body. Lao Bai kept rolling and wailing on the ground, and his face was distorted to the point that it seemed to be in great pain, and the sound it barked at all did not look like a dog could make.

Lao Bai soon lay on the ground, dying. After another dozen seconds, he didn't move again.

Mercuric sulfide! The red liquid in those bugs is supposed to be mercury sulfide! The fact that a bug carries such a small amount of liquid, even if many of them add up to only one or two milliliters, can kill a large dog in an instant, is enough to show that it contains highly poisonous.

This kind of bug doesn't seem to be interested in dead animals, because the bugs that came later only circled around Lao Bai's corpse, didn't stop too much at all, and came directly at me.

I quickly pulled out a simple pine torch from my backpack and sprinkled it with pine oil stolen from the village and lit it with a lighter, all in one go, faster than I could have imagined. By this time, the bloodworms had already flown in front of my eyes, and I hurriedly raised my torches to meet them. Sure enough, as I expected, these strange insects avoided them after encountering the fire.

"Jars, glasses, these insects are afraid of fire!" I shouted as I waved a torch to drive them out.

The jar and glasses over there were running away while covering their heads and faces with their clothes, and when they heard my warning, they quickly lit the torches as if they were grasping at a life-saving straw. Then, the three of us got together, back to back, to watch out for the strange insects. The bugs didn't dare come near us, but they didn't leave easily, and they circled over our heads. Fortunately, we had plenty of pine oil belts in our hands, and each person carried three bottles in their bags, so the flame never went out, and as the pine oil continued to burn, the smell produced had filled the entire tomb. The strange insect didn't seem to like the smell, and soon flew out through the main entrance of the tomb. We hurriedly closed the gate to prevent these strange insects from returning.

Seeing that the danger was over, the glasses and the jar sat down on the ground and gasped. I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and I couldn't help but rejoice that I had escaped.

The altar looked at Lao Bai who was dead over there, and said with palpitations: "What's the matter with these insects? It's scary! ”

"It is supposed that the owner of the tomb put the half-hatched eggs into the hollowed-out corpse after his death, and once there is a disturbance from the outside world, these insects will break out of the cocoon. Although the wooden coffin is waterproof, the mercury sulfide solution gradually seeped into the coffin and the corpse after years of erosion, and the eggs gradually absorbed the solution into the body after coming into contact with the solution. I guessed, "But it's amazing what kind of insects these are that they are not afraid of the poison of mercury sulfide, and that they can spit out the poisonous water again." ”

Speaking of which, I inadvertently saw the seven coffin nails thrown on the ground again, and another name immediately appeared in my heart - Seven Star Corpse Raising Technique! The legend of this spell is developed from the method of preserving the corpse of Maoshan magic, and it is an evil method. Its layout is roughly similar to the Tiangang Beidou corpse method, but it is different from yin and yang, one good and one evil, one good and one evil. The Beidou distribution of Tiangang Beidou corpse fixing method is to nail into the corpse from head to toe, in the shape of a Beidou; The Seven Stars Corpse Raising Technique is from the feet to the head, showing the appearance of the Seven Stars being reversed. Due to the different props and specific usages of the Seven Star Corpse Raising Technique, the effectiveness is also different, but the only thing that is the same is that all the corpses that have been raised by the Seven Star Corpse Raising Technique will undergo mutations, and those red monster insects may be one of them.

"I'd better take a look at my treasure chest, don't break it just now, then I'm going to die of distress." Jar stood up and said.

Glasses hurriedly stopped him and said, "You better not mess around, if you hadn't been so reckless in carrying the box just now, maybe we wouldn't have encountered those bugs." I think I'd better go! ”

"Okay, okay, you can go as you go, but you have to be careful not to drop it again!" The jar sat on the ground again, but his mouth was repeatedly telling his glasses. I stood on the edge of the jar and said, "Then you don't have to worry, the glasses must be more attentive to the box than you." Ay! Glasses, be careful! "I haven't forgotten the Seven Stars Corpse Cultivation Technique, so I gave a special advice to my glasses.

The glasses had already reached the stone coffin, and he ignored the two of us, just stared intently into the coffin.

"Hey, what's in that box?" The jar asked.

The contents of the golden box had been scattered, piece by piece, like shriveled persimmons. After careful identification, the glasses finally found the answer: "It's the internal organs!" ”

"Entrails?" The jar and I screamed.

The glasses must say, "It's the guts." Those small pieces should be the brain, liver, kidneys, etc. after pickling and dehydration, and the black and slender one should be the large intestine of the tomb owner! ”

"How is this possible?"

"How is this impossible?" Glasses asked rhetorically, "The ancients attached the most importance to filial piety, as the so-called parents of the body, plus they believed in reincarnation, and the whole body naturally had to walk with the whole body." Just like the eunuchs in ancient times, even if they have to exchange the gold and silver accumulated over the years for their treasures, it may be because of such an idea. If it were you, you wouldn't want your body to be mutilated when you go to the grave, right? ”

The glasses looked at us as he spoke, but what he saw on our faces was not an expression of understanding, but a look of fear. He followed our gaze, and saw that the yellow light in the four stone lamps had quietly gone out at some point, and the light in the tomb was much dimmer.
