Lost in Southern Sichuan Chapter 44 The terrifying black worm

Lao Ma wondered, "Gensheng, what do you mean?" Why are you shaking your head so firmly? ”

I couldn't tell him what I had seen, so I could only dodge and reply, "Don't ask, I can tell you for sure that the gold leaf box is not in this burial chamber." ”

The old horse was a little helpless, but when he saw my sincere eyes, he didn't say anything, and could only sigh.

At this time, the thin man said again: "Even if you are not here, you see that there are so many chests here, there must be a lot of treasures, why don't we bring some back ......."

At this time, Captain Yu suddenly shouted: "Zhang Xing! What nonsense are you talking about, have you forgotten all the rules of mercenaries? Don't mess around! ”

Zhang Xing shrugged his shoulders and said: "Team Yu, you know that I have always been silent, but in the current situation, Wang Cheng is dead, Zhang Mingjun has scratched his belly again, our losses this time are really heavy, if you just point to those honorariums, we will lose a lot, besides, didn't you also receive the benefits of others just now?" ”

I know that this thin man is talking about the golden wrench that Dong Lao gave to Captain Yu.

Captain Yu's other team members actually began to echo it.

"Yes, Team ......"

"Team Yu, let's just take a few things, otherwise it's too much of a loss......"

"That's right, we almost fought for our lives this time......"

……

Captain Yu also seemed to be a little shaken, he turned his head to look at me, I looked at Dong Lao again, after winning their opinions, I smiled and said: "It's okay, let's get rich together, this thing was not discovered by our Sanbaozhai ourselves, and those who see it have a share." ”

Captain Yu smiled gratefully at me, then nodded at his teammates, who cheered one by one, like a group of dirt buns entering the city.

The thin man stepped into the room first, and when I turned my head, I saw it, and instinctively shouted, "Slow! ”

The thin man's leg was fixed in mid-air, and he stared at me blankly, probably wondering why I had stopped him.

I don't know why I stopped him, but everything here made me nervous, and I just reflexively shouted at him.

But now he stopped and just looked at me.

I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, I shook my head, and he didn't care about me anymore, and just stepped in.

"Everyone's focused their flashlights on that burial chamber."

When the thin man took that step, everyone concentrated their flashlights in the tomb.

The whole burial chamber was brighter in an instant, and my eyes were constantly looking at every corner, and my spirit was already extremely tense.

Suddenly, something black appeared in my peripheral vision.

Whatever it is, it's not a good thing to be here.

I hurriedly shouted, "Come back!" ”

The thin man's reflection was also astute, and it was estimated that his nerves were also in a relatively nervous state now, and when he heard my shout, he jumped out directly.

The old horse said: "I said what are you doing here, you were scared stupid just now, right?" Shocked. ”

I'm sure I'm not mistaken, there must be something strange about this burial chamber, but I can't explain it to them.

What can I do, they'll think I'm dazzled.

The thin man looked at me intently, and I read some suspicion in his eyes.

I had an idea, and suddenly thought of the scene where Zhang Genhuo used pork to test the mechanism before.

I walked up to Zhang Genhuo, ripped off a larger piece of pork from him, walked to the door and threw it in.

Everyone's eyes were on the piece of pork, including the skinny man who took a step forward and was called back by me, and everyone's eyes followed the pork in a perfect arc and saw it fall firmly to the ground.

The moment the pork hit the ground, a large black patch suddenly poured out from the cracks in the stone slabs of the burial chamber.

That's right, that's it!

When I looked closely, it turned out to be small insects the size of mung beans, pitch black, and they were crowded together, like a pitch-black river.

The movement speed of those little bugs is not slow or fast, I estimated, it is about the same speed as a human running, but fortunately these things are not very fast, otherwise the thin man just now would be dangerous.

Because those bugs directly surrounded the piece of pork, they instantly wrapped the pork like a wave.

In just a few seconds, they dissipated like a low tide.

Along with the piece of pork, it was gone, not a trace of blood was left.

The thin man sat down on the ground and stammered, "Eat, eat, eat?" It's just, it's gone in a moment? ”

I could feel his shock from his words and frozen expression, and his reaction was stronger than all of us, because he had just walked around the ghost gate, and if I hadn't called him back, he would have been gnawed into a pile of bones by this time.

No, maybe there are no bones left, and who knows if these little bugs will eat bones or not.

I suddenly remembered a video I had seen on Animal World before, where an antelope encountered a marching ant and was eaten in an instant.

At that time, the video was very shocking to me, and now I see a similar scene live, and a chill runs down my tail vertebrae and goes straight to the top of my head, which is really scary.

Lao Ma sighed: "Fuck, such a big piece of meat, I'm afraid it weighs three or four catties, and it's gone in an instant, it's faster than sulfuric acid......"

Zhang Genhuo muttered in a low voice: "Brother, you lost my pork, you can't buy me the latest mobile phone this time......"

I glared at him, when has this been, and is still pretending to me.

I gazed at the stone slab in the burial chamber and always felt like I had some clue that I needed to grasp, but I couldn't, what was it......

At this time, I suddenly saw Tony crouching in the doorway, observing something.

I walked over and asked, "Brother To, what are you squatting here for?" ”

Tony didn't look up, groping his fingers for something on the ground, and he said, "Haven't you ever thought about why such a powerful insect would only attack in the tomb?" ”

It was like I had an initiation, and then I realized that something was different.

Yes, this insect only attacks when it enters the tomb, and if they had walked around at will, wouldn't we have died eight hundred times ago?

But why? Why do they only stay in the burial chamber? It suddenly occurred to me that some insects have a unique territorial awareness, they will only move within a certain range, and at the same time will attack any creature that invades their territory, is this too strong territorial awareness?

I asked, "Brother To, have you found anything?" Let's hear it. ”

Tony said, "You'll know if you hit the flashlight here. ”

I shone the light of the flashlight on the ground where his hand had just fumbled, the doorway.

When I looked closely, I realized that there was a thick layer of sand-like soil, which was spread all over the doorway.

I asked, confused, "What is this?" ”

As he speaks, he touches it with his hand.

Tony blocked my hand with a folding fan and said, "This is a powder made from some medicinal herbs, we think those bugs never came out of the tomb, it must have something to do with these powders, if you rashly touch these powders......"

If you compare those bugs to a flood, then the powder is probably equivalent to a dam, imagine if I accidentally punch a gap in the dam...... I shuddered just thinking about the flooding scene.

"Are you saying it's insect repellent powder?"

Tony nodded and said, "That's right, it's a funeral item, we think the owner of the tomb definitely doesn't want his hard-earned family property to be taken away by someone of unknown origin, so he left these mysterious bugs." At the same time, the insect repellent powder is put away, and if you are not greedy for those treasures, you will not suffer from this unwarranted disaster. ”

I deeply believe that if you don't kill all the tomb robbers, the owner of this tomb is already benevolent and righteous.

So he turned to everyone and said, "I suggest we don't want the treasure here, I don't want us to make too many sacrifices here, after all, if we accidentally release the bugs, we will be wiped out." ”

It's not that I'm instigated by these words, to be honest, the house full of gold, silver and jewelry, I do have an itch in my heart, but the current situation is that our bodies have been supporting ourselves at full load for too long, and now we are in a situation where we are running out of food, there is still some food, but the water has been drunk.

In such an embarrassing situation, it would be nice if we could easily get some treasure, but if we still had to fight for our lives to get it, I felt that even if we were able to get out of it this time, we would be at the end of our crossbow, and we would have no power to resist any other danger.

And looking at the current situation, trying to get those treasures unscathed is tantamount to a fool's dream. Besides, this time we have obtained two pieces of the valuable Tongue Suppressor Jade Cicada, and it is not considered to be empty-handed, the most important thing at the moment is to find the gold leaf wooden box and bring it back with the least cost.

Everyone seems to have done a great ideological struggle, especially Dong Lao, his old job is to turn salted fish, he is the master who wants money and does not want to die, and now a lot of treasures are placed in front of him, can he not be moved?

But Dong Lao still nodded and said, "Shopkeeper, I listen to you, it turns out that your decision is correct, the old man believes you." ”

Dong Laode is highly respected, as long as he agrees, the rest of the people in Sanbaozhai will not have any opinions.

Captain Yu also said in due course: "I agree with the egg master, let's find the gold leaf wooden box first, and then if we have extra strength, we are thinking about other issues, after all, it is still a question whether we can escape." ”

Whether I can escape or not, I am not very worried at the moment, because in Dong Lao's opinion, this tomb is extremely poorly built, and according to the current progress, we should have explored most of this tomb. And until now, we have not found the bodies of any of the craftsmen, which proves that there is a good chance that they have escaped.

In other words, we also have a good chance of escape.

Everyone agreed, I clapped my hands, called Zhang Genhuo, and pushed open the stone door that was not very heavy.
