Xiao Ling saw that the crockpot was still intact by his side, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up the crockpot again.

The others saw the crockpot Xiao Ling was holding in his hand and hurriedly gathered over.

Everyone and his general thoughts, since Xu Fu left a bamboo slip to warn future generations, if he really left a solution, he must have stored it in a clay pot with this bamboo slip and kept it, but just now Sun Tao took it out after seeing the bamboo slip placed inside, and also carefully searched the clay pot, and saw that there was nothing in it and put it aside, everyone's attention was attracted by the bamboo slip, ignoring the clay pot itself.

Xiao Ling looked into the crockpot, empty and empty, nothing.

"Impossible, if Xu Fu really has a solution, what better place to preserve it than here? Could it be that there are other crockpots? Xiao Ling didn't give up, took out the flashlight, and shone it into the crockpot to observe carefully.

"Do you see anything?" Li Zhibao opened his mouth to ask, although everyone returned to their original appearance again, they all felt weak and weak, and the situation was very bad, if it goes on like this, maybe this time it will pass out again, and it may not be able to wake up again next time.

Xiao Ling used a flashlight to shine inside, including the bottom of the crockpot and the side wall, but he didn't find anything, let alone any other objects placed inside.

He told him what he had discovered, Li Zhibao groaned slightly, took the crockpot in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then put it down as well, muttering, "Strange." ”

Originally, everyone thought that Xu Fu would leave something in the crockpot, which might save everyone's lives, but now it seems that there is nothing in the crockpot, and everyone's hopes are in vain.

"Vermiculite can be solved, can this vermiculite solve our dilemma? But this vermiculite ...... And where is it. Hu Shengzhe frowned and pondered.

Li Zhibao didn't see anything, Yu Tingting took it again, first looked carefully, took the crockpot in her hand and shook it, listened to something, and then measured it outside with her hand, and then measured it inside, everyone couldn't figure out what she was looking at, they all thought that there was nothing in this crockpot, and they could see the bottom at a glance, but what she was doing.

"No, the inside of this crockpot is much shallower than the outside, so it seems that the bottom of this crockpot is very thick, at least five centimeters thick, which is a little wrong." Yu Tingting suddenly spoke.

Xiao Ling's heart moved: "Sister Ting, do you mean that there is a compartment at the bottom of this crockpot?" ”

Yu Tingting nodded.

Li Zhibao said: "There is not much time, whether there is or not, I can only smash it open and take a look." ”

The others also nodded at her, and when Yu Tingting saw that everyone agreed, she lifted the crockpot and carefully smashed it on the black rock on the side.

The pot shattered, the bottom cracked, and sure enough, there were two layers, and when it shattered, it revealed a very delicately made flat bronze box.

Seeing the bronze box, everyone's spirits lifted, it seems that this Xu Fu really left a back hand, but sealed it at the bottom of this clay pot, if it is not for everyone to observe carefully, it is really difficult to find, he has the heart to save the later destined people, but left this means, it seems to be intended to test everyone, people can't guess this Xu Fu's thoughts back then.

Everyone did not open the bronze box rashly, but retreated to the side one after another, only Sun Tao stepped forward alone, took matters into his own hands, and carefully opened the bronze box with a military waist knife.

The box opened, Qin Yang approached with a searchlight, and under the light, only the small flat bronze box was filled with dense white particles like sesame seeds, which looked like white sesame seeds.

"What is this? Is it for eating? Sun Tao was a little stunned.

Xiao Ling, Li Zhibao, Zhou Kesheng, Yu Tingting and others all gathered around and looked at the white particles placed in the box.

Li Zhibao showed a look of understanding on his face, and asked for the saber in Sun Tao's hand and cut his left index finger.

Blood poured from the wound, and he reached into the bronze box.

Everyone took a deep breath a little nervously, gathered around, and watched quietly, the light of several flashlights shining on the bronze box.

Blood dripped onto the white particles and quickly penetrated into them.

Strange to say, the white sesame-like particles that had been soaked in blood suddenly came to life, as if they had come to life from their original dead silence.

Li Zhibao looked shocked, picked up his fingers, and everyone saw that there were many white sesame seeds stuck to the wound on his broken index finger, and these white sesame seeds were slowly expanding and wriggling, and they had become living creatures.

As it continued to expand, everyone quickly saw what kind of sesame grains this was, but a white worm, like a leech, sucking the blood from Li Zhibao's wound.

As the blood is drained, their bodies seem to be inflated and are slowly expanding.

"I see, this is vermiculite, the essence may be some kind of special leech, they are now in a state of dehydration, they look like dead things, they are called vermiculite, as long as they are nourished by blood, they can come back to life, they will absorb the parasites in our bodies, this is the salvation that Xu Fu left for us back then."

Yu Tingting also fully understood, and also picked up the saber, carefully cut a small wound with her index finger, and then put the bleeding index finger into the bronze box, and then there were also a few white insects that came alive on her finger wound, slowly expanding and getting bigger.

Everyone followed suit, but fortunately the vermiculite in this box was enough for them to use, and each of them carefully cut a small wound on his finger and used vermiculite to attach to the wound.

Xiao Ling looked at the vermiculite, which was originally like a dead thing, and came back to life after absorbing the blood, sucking on the wound on his finger, his body continued to expand and grow, like an inflated balloon, getting bigger and bigger, getting whiter and whiter, and finally his whole body was white, faintly shining, and suddenly, one of them seemed to reach the limit and fell from the wound of his index finger.

After landing, the front end of the vermiculite's body slowly gushed out a faint white light juice, and its body slowly contracted and became smaller.

Xiao Ling looked at this cloud of light juice glowing with pale white, and thought to himself, could this be the lighthouse ghost jellyfish? Or is it the water recorded in the ancient books that Wang Lei said?

The vermiculite adsorbed at the wounds on everyone's fingers fell down one after another, and Zhou Kesheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

In the past, every fifteen minutes or so, everyone would start to age again, and eventually pass out because of the extreme aging.

Looking at the time now, seventeen minutes have passed, and everyone still maintains their original appearance, showing no signs of aging.

Soon twenty minutes passed, and there was still no change.
