"It's ...... Tree pattern bronze man! He opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time. As soon as this thought appeared in his heart just now, Chen Tao felt that his brain was buzzing, like thunder.

"What are you doing? Have a good flashlight! Yang Lixuan's voice pulled Chen Tao back to reality from the shock in his heart, looked at the circle of light on his forehead, and hurriedly shone the flashlight on the corpse's chest.

"No...... Sorry, distracted. Chen Tao said to Yang Lixuan with some apologies, but his heart was a mess, and he thought secretly: "I hope it's a coincidence, the tree man is something that is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period or even earlier, this Japanese has only been dead for a few decades, how can the two be so long...... If it really has anything to do with the Treants, it's outrageous! ”

"When I have the chance, I'll have to study the bronze man again, and maybe I'll find something else."

No one knew what Chen Tao was thinking just now, even Uncle Long looked at him with some puzzlement.

Retracting his mind, Chen Tao looked at Yang Lixuan intently. I saw that he used the dagger to gently cut a small bulge from the side, and there was no blood and nothing else flowing out.

Then, Yang Lixuan used the tip of a knife to cut the skin around the bulge, like digging out a cover, and cut off a layer of skin that wrapped the bulge, revealing what was under the bulge. Chen Tao looked at it and saw that it was black.

At first, Chen Tao only thought it was a dried blood clot from the corpse, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. He looked at the black things carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little familiar, and when he recognized what they were, he couldn't help but feel numb all over.

It was a bloodthirsty black worm, wrapped in a heap like a snowball, motionless, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

After receiving the dagger, Yang Lixuan reached out and took the flashlight from Chen Tao's hand, and said according to the pile of bloodthirsty black worms: "I think I know why he committed suicide." ”

Everyone was looking at him, although they knew that they must have nothing to do with these black worms, but they still wanted to see what Yang Lixuan would say.

"When I came down, everyone saw the things on the gravel pile, and combined with the previous rumor, the group of miners blew up the black rock formation, causing the bloodthirsty black worms below to escape. And this factory is located under the rock formation, that is, those bugs that they blew up, ran out from here. ”

Looking at the corpse, Yang Lixuan continued: "Although I don't know what these Japanese are doing here, they should have also encountered bloodthirsty black worms, this person should have been attacked by the insect swarm, and the black worms burrowed into his body. ”

"So, he's locked up?" Chen Tao asked.

"Well, it's possible." Yang Lixuan nodded and said, "Why he was locked up here, I can't judge, judging from the circumstances of his suicide, he didn't completely lose his mind." But...... Bugs should be the most direct cause of his suicide in despair. ”

"That'...... What's going on with these bullet marks and bullets all over the floor, and these open ammunition boxes. Uncle Long asked.

Yang Lixuan shook his head: "I think, either he destroyed it himself when he went crazy, or ......" Yang Lixuan looked at the bullet marks and bullet casings around him and said:

"Here...... And something else! ”

"Something else?" Everyone wondered.

"Well, it's speculation, but at least it's clear why this man committed suicide. The group of Japanese should have known about the bloodthirsty black worm, and after knowing that he was attacked by the black worm, they locked him up. Maybe he went crazy in this alone, or he was shooting something else with a gun, and finally the whole person fell into fear and despair, hid in this corner, and ended his life. ”

But why did the black worms gather in front of him? And they're all so big......" Chen Tao asked.

"These are adults. If my guess is correct, this Japanese must have been attacked by swarms of black insects before his death, and most of these insects in his body are males, and the female worms in them have not yet laid eggs. From the time the black worm burrowed into his body to the time he shot himself, it would not take more than a day before and after. ”

"When the black worms entered his body, they quickly drained his blood. Bloodthirsty black worms have a habit of going into dormancy if a parasitic host dies suddenly and they don't have time to find a new one. Yang Lixuan pointed to the large and small sarcoma bulges on the corpse and said:

"To protect the female, the male black worm will wrap the female, and their secretions will form an egg-like shell in the host's flesh, as you see now. During this time, they secrete a substance that allows the host's corpse to remain for a long time without decomposing. ”

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Chen Tao couldn't help but rub his arms,

"That'...... Will the boy at the commissary end up like this? ”

"No, it won't." Yang Lixuan shook his head, "In the boy's case, the host is still alive, and the body is full of female worms, which will only lay eggs and then hatch, and the larvae will leave when they grow up and find a new host." The black worms in the boy's body are for laying eggs, and the Japanese are foraging for food, and then enter a dormant period, which may have something to do with the external environment at that time. ”

Yang Lixuan explained, Boss Zhang on the side grabbed the dagger, as if he wanted to pierce the other sarcomas to take a look, but Yang Lixuan grabbed his wrist, and the tip of the knife stopped less than a centimeter away from the surface of the corpse.

"Don't move, they're alive! The bloodthirsty black worm that awakens from dormancy can't be stopped even if there is a potion. Yang Lixuan said in a deep voice.

"What! Still alive? Boss Zhang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retracted his hand, he didn't want to be infected with these insects.

"Little brother of the Yang family, what should I do now?" Uncle Long looked at Yang Lixuan and asked.

Yang Lixuan didn't speak, took out a small black bottle from the backpack behind him, took it in his hand and shook it. Because of the relative proximity, Chen Tao noticed that it seemed to be a liquid inside.

Waving his hand to signal everyone to retreat, Yang Lixuan opened the cap of the bottle and poured the black liquid inside on the bare upper body of the corpse.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the black liquid did not flow to the ground, but slowly spread along the surface of the corpse.

The part covered by the black liquid is clearly seen in the body in a slight depression. The black liquid continued to spread, and finally wrapped the entire corpse.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, the corpse gradually shrank and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a puddle of black water, leaving only the empty yellow-green military uniform and the yellowed tattered armor outside.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that those clothes once belonged to the corpse of a Japanese who had been dead for decades.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and spit out a few words from his mouth: "It's the corpse addict Gu of the Wu Clan...... Surnamed Yang, you guys are really good at it! ”

Yang Lixuan glanced back at him, the two looked at each other, but they didn't speak. Placing the empty bottle in his hand on the cuff of his military jacket, the black liquid actually separated from it and burrowed back into the bottle. got up and glanced at Uncle Long, and said, "It's been dealt with, there's nothing to stay in here, pack up your things and go." After saying that, he took the bottle and walked towards the iron gate.

"He ......" Boss Zhang swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yan, looked at the somewhat emaciated back in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, let's go out too." With that, he lifted the backpack on his shoulder and walked by himself. Boss Zhang and Brother Ah Cheng looked at each other in pairs, and Boss Zhang sighed and said, "Alas, let's go." ”

Haozi looked at Yang Lixuan and didn't say a word, Chen Tao noticed that his hands were a little shaky. patted Haozi on the shoulder, and saw that the people in front of him had already left the iron gate, Chen Tao asked:

"What was that just now?"

"That's a kind of Gu worm of the Wu Clan, which is specially used to dispose of corpses, and I also heard your grandfather mention it once. This kind of thing has been extinct for thousands of years, how can he still have it? Uncle Long looked at Uncle Wang.

"I don't know, I can only contact him, but I don't know anything about him. This person suddenly appeared in recent years, and no one knows his background and strength, only that he is a member of the Mo family. ”

Chen Tao wanted to ask something more, but Uncle Long waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go out too, and we'll talk about this matter later." ”

Chen Tao looked at Uncle Long's back a little weakly, and for the first time he doubted himself.

What kind of family do you live in?

Relatives, friends, and the bits and pieces of these years, everything seems so harmonious, simple, but so confusing.

What kind of secrets are hidden in this family......
