Chapter 221: Corpse Firefly Cave
Master Mao took Luo Hui into the main hall of the palace, although the furnishings in the main hall have decayed for thousands of years, but several stone carved columns are still standing, showing the world the glory of a thousand years ago.
At the end of the main hall there is a trapezoidal platform, about three meters high, on which a large bed-like dragon chair throne is placed!
The two climbed to the platform and found that the dragon chair throne was carved with insect totems, although after thousands of years, the color of the throne had turned black, and the insect totem was also missing, but it was still surprising.
"This stone chair is a complete piece of white marble, and the insect totem carving on it is extremely complex and valuable." Luo Hui said with emotion.
Master Mao said: "Insect worship culture is extremely rare in our country, like this insect totem as a symbol of the emperor is even less, as the saying goes, rare is expensive, this chair should be a national treasure-level cultural relic." ”
Luo Hui replied: "By the way, master, you said that you have made an important discovery, shouldn't you mean this Dian King Worm Chair?" Although this worm chair is indeed a major discovery, this is a cultural level, and we are not archaeology, so it is not an important discovery for us, and you are ....... ”
Master Mao raised his eyebrows: "Cat team, of course I don't mean this insect chair when I say the major discovery, you try to sit and watch." ”
Luo Hui sat on the stone chair with doubts, his body suddenly sank, he was frightened and quickly stood up, and repeatedly inspected the stone chair, which seemed to have a spring installed under the stone chair.
"Get out, I'll demonstrate." Master Mao motioned for Luo Hui to retreat to the side, and then sat down with his buttocks, holding down the armrests on both sides of the chair with both hands, on the armrests were two stone snake heads, Master Mao pressed the snake head with both hands, only to see a stone screen behind the platform make a dull sound, and gradually moved to both sides and separated, a wide stone ladder appeared down behind the stone screen, and oil lamps were suspended on both sides of the stone ladder, and it was pitch black below.
"I didn't think there was a secret passage here?!" Luo Hui was surprised.
Master Mao said: "I have checked, this secret road is not recently built, it should be built in the era of the King of Dian, the ancient hierarchy is strict, this chair is the throne of the King of Dian, no one dares to sit except the King of Dian, sitting is equivalent to committing a rebellion, it is a great crime to exterminate the clan, so this is a secret road that only the King of Dian knows......." ”
Luo Hui checked carefully, and found that there was not much dust on the stone staircase, and even the footprints could be clearly seen, it was obvious that someone had walked by, and the oil in the oil lamps on both sides of the secret passage was almost new and had been lit recently, so he interrupted: "Not necessarily." ”
Master Mao nodded and said, "Indeed, there have been people entering and exiting this secret passage recently. ”
Luo Hui frowned tightly and muttered: "Except for the people of the Chiyou organization, I don't think anyone will know about such a secret passage, I don't know if the base of the Chiyou organization is under this secret passage, this is indeed a major discovery!" ”
Master Mao said: "Regardless of whether the base of the Chiyou organization is below or not, at least we have to go down to see what is going on, what do you think of the Cat team?" ”
Luo Hui nodded in agreement, but he wanted to wait for everyone to come down together, after all, what is down here is still unknown, the two of them are weak and it is easy to have an accident, but Master Mao has a different opinion, he thinks that the two should go down first, if it is really where the base of the Chiyou organization is located, it is better to explore the way for the big guys, so that the big guy can reduce the danger, because the danger is carried by the two of them.
Luo Hui thought about it and felt that what Master Mao said made sense, so he left the mark and code of the Investigation Bureau on the stone chair, and made a flashlight with Master Mao, risking his way to explore it.
After walking down the stone staircase, the eyes suddenly opened, the space was huge, the two took a flashlight, and opened their mouths at the same time, there is actually a big karst cave below, the top of the cave is full of upside-down stalactites, the ground is full of stalagmites, it is very spectacular, but what is more spectacular is the insects in the cave, whether it is stalactites or stalagmites, there are groups of dense insects attached to them, and people get goosebumps when they see it.
Luo Hui frowned and said, "These insects ......." ”
Master Mao said: "It should be Gu worms, maybe they have been breeding in this dark place for thousands of years, so much so that they cover the entire karst cave, hmm...... Cat team, turn off the flashlight! ”
Luo Hui didn't know what Master Mao had found, but since he said so, he had to turn off the flashlight first, and when the two of them turned off the flashlight, the surroundings fell into darkness, but soon the two were shocked by the scene they saw, only to see that the surroundings gradually lit up with fluorescence, looking like a starry sky, the two of them suddenly felt like they were in the vast universe, magnificent!
Luo Hui reacted suddenly, and immediately became nervous: "It's a corpse firefly!" These bugs are corpse fireflies! ”
Master Mao said with a stern expression: "That's right, it's indeed the corpse firefly, it turns out that this is where the corpse firefly's lair is located, the cat team, don't act rashly, once these corpse fireflies perceive our existence, they will definitely attack them in groups, and then we won't be able to hide at all, and we will be burned to ashes by the corpse fireflies in a few moments!" ”
Luo Hui asked, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Master Mao's sideburns left a cold sweat, I saw him look towards the depths of the cave, although the cave is very dark, but Master Mao has long practiced the ability to observe in the dark, he has already seen the cave behind the cave, and said: "There is still a cave in the depths of the cave, no matter whether the base of the Chiyou organization is still in the depths, even if there is only one percent of hope, we should figure out the situation and pave the way for the big guys, and there is also a corpse firefly often used by the Chiyou organization here, which greatly increases the hope, so we must go deeper!" ”
Luo Hui said: "I understand this truth, but it's just ......." ”
Master Mao intercepted: "The corpse fireflies here may be the sentinels of the Chiyou Organization base, but there are too many, even hundreds of millions, if you want to clear the past, it is an impossible task at all, and we don't have so much time, the only way is not to disturb them, and then pass through this cave!" ”
Luo Hui said: "The method is good, but it doesn't seem to be possible, we have all seen the power of the corpse firefly, the slightest mistake will turn into ashes, right now we haven't entered the cave, haven't aroused vigilance ......." ”
Just as Luo Hui was speaking, Master Mao quietly took out a copper coin and pinched it in his hand, and gently threw it into the cave, only to see that the copper coin had not yet landed, and a large number of corpse fireflies noticed it, and swarmed up, directly around the copper coin burned into a fireball, the scene was very brutal, until the copper coin landed and stood still, he stopped attacking, only the copper coin was burned black and smoking!
This scene stunned Luo Hui, this is also too keen, it is even stronger than the sensing ability of infrared, it is too difficult to pass through quietly!
