Chapter 119: Ancient Corpse Worm
The kid stared at me for a moment, then grinned and disappeared into the thick dust particles, and the moment he grinned, I could clearly see that his teeth didn't look like human at all, not straight teeth, but serrated teeth, very sharp serrations, if I really want to say, a bit like shark teeth.
After a while, the dust splashed by the fall of the tomb door gradually dissipated, and the Seventh Master shouted, "How are you doing?" Are you all right? ”
The three of us looked at the seventh master's shoulder almost at the same time, and found that the child was gone, so we immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're okay, we'll be fine." ”
The Seventh Master didn't know what we were referring to, so he just nodded and said, "Damn, I've seen the tomb door that opens upwards, the tomb door that sinks downward, and the tomb doors that open on both sides in the past, and this tomb door that falls directly backwards is really the first fucking time I've seen it." ”
I fanned the dust in front of me with my hand, and I was so frightened that I inhaled a lot of dust and choked on me.
Gradually, the smoke and dust dissipated, Huzi turned on the flashlight and shone into the tomb, only feeling that the tomb was very large, and the light of the flashlight alone could not illuminate the entire tomb.
Zhang Wuxing is a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, raised his feet and stepped in, after entering the tomb, the four of us raised torches, looked around, suddenly, the faint cry sounded again, and the people who listened were terrified.
Huzi scratched his head and said, "Hey, I said, is the female corpse we met before we came in crying?" I wanted to bury her in the ground, but we were chased by the worms, and we were so frightened that we forgot about it, was the female corpse angry? ”
The seventh master stretched out his hand and slapped the back of the tiger's head, scolding, "Damn, don't scare yourself by looking for trouble!" ”
Huzi also nodded, not refutating, but hearing him say this, I always felt that there was a knot in my heart that had not been unsolved.
As he was walking, he heard Zhang Wuxing shouting, "Oops! What is it! I hurriedly approached him, and by the light of the torch, I took a closer look, and saw a lot of mucus on Zhang Wuxing's pants, green and yellow, sticky to the trouser tube.
Zhang Wuxing wanted to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by the seventh master, "Don't touch it, maybe it's poisonous or corrosive!" After speaking, the seventh master pulled out the saber, and the blade was attached to Zhang Wuxing's warehouse pipe, so he scraped off the mucus, and shook it casually, throwing the mucus aside.
Then the blade of the saber was close to his nose, sniffed it carefully, and said, "Damn, this is an ancient corpse worm!" ”
Huzi and I have both seen this kind of insect in the ancient books of the Seventh Master, and when we heard the Seventh Master say this, we immediately became nervous.
The size of this ancient corpse insect is usually very large, generally about ten to twenty centimeters, it belongs to carnivorous insects, it is good at diving to hunt food, usually they eat some fish and amphibians, when hunting, they are often stationary, and will cover some camouflage on the body, and when the prey is close, these huge beetles will spray a powerful digestive saliva from their mouths, and then suck the liquefied thick corpse remains, their saliva is almost corrosive and sulfuric acid, but only reacts to the skin and flesh, It liquefies the body's muscle tissue in a matter of seconds.
When they feel threatened, they play dead and eject a liquid from their anus that, once splashed on a person's skin, makes them feel nauseous and vomit.
The mucus that appeared on Zhang Wuxing's trousers just now should be the digestive juice spewed out by this ancient corpse worm!
"Damn, it's a big problem now!" Huzi didn't dare to move with a torch, this ancient corpse insect was originally very good at camouflage, and now we are in a very dim environment, and there is no way to judge where this ancient corpse insect is.
However, judging from the amount of mucus on Zhang Wuxing's reservoir tube, this ancient corpse insect should not be too big, it belongs to the larval stage, if it is really an adult ancient corpse insect, then it is estimated that one of Zhang Wuxing's legs just now should be gone.
The seventh master said in a low voice, "Keep your feet on the ground and slide forward." ”
After speaking, I followed the method of the seventh master, the soles of the feet did not leave the ground, little by little moved forward, the tomb itself is very large, and using this method of walking, we walked for almost two minutes, only to the wall on the side of the tomb, I reached out and touched it, only to feel that about ten centimeters above my head, there is a bulge, judging by my experience, it should be something like a lantern, so I hurriedly reminded Huzi "Huzi, there is something on it, you are tall, see if it is a lantern?" If it is, set it on fire. ”
The tiger answered, and soon the bulge above my head was lit, and I looked up, and sure enough, it was an ever-bright lamp, and the shape of this ever-bright lamp was very peculiar, it was a child with a smiling face, half of his body embedded in the wall as a support, and the child was holding a long lantern in his hand, which contained lamp oil, and after it was lit, the flames came out of this lantern.
When I saw the appearance of this lantern, I immediately had a number of minds, since there was a lantern on the wall, there would never be only this one, so I beckoned the fat man to start looking along the wall of the tomb, and in about half an hour, we lit up all the forty-nine lanterns in the entire tomb.
After the everlasting lamp was lit, the outline of the entire tomb was illuminated, and the Seventh Master said, "Be careful, quickly find that ancient corpse worm!" It must be in this burial chamber, and it won't be far! ”
Huzi and I picked up our shotguns and began to look in the tomb, only to see that this tomb not only has a very large space, but also has a lot of burial goods, but most of them are pots and pots, neatly placed in the middle of the tomb.
We walked cautiously towards those pots and pots, most of the creatures like insects like to hide in the corner, this kind of pots and pots, especially suitable for them to hide.
Huzi came to the pile of pots and pots, flew up with a kick, and kicked one of the clay pots to pieces, only to see a lot of slimy things flowing out of it, I looked down and looked carefully, it turned out to be rice, but because the age is too old, this rice has become paste.
Immediately afterwards, Huzi kicked all these clay pots one by one, only to see an ancient corpse insect the size of a bowl pop out, and at the same time as it jumped out, a stream of mucus also spewed out.
Huzi and I hurriedly dodged, and when we turned around again, we found that the ancient corpse insect was actually on all fours, turned out of its white belly, and lay there motionless pretending to be dead.
Huzi scolded, picked up the shotgun, and fired a shot at the ancient corpse worm, and the ancient corpse worm was instantly blown up by the shotgun.
While loading the bullets, Huzi said, "The bugs are dead, let's go and see the coffin, I noticed it just now!" ”
When he said this, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw that there was indeed a coffin on the southwest side of the tomb, and it was already covered with green ferns.
