Chapter 59: The Deadly Moth
"Okay, they're all from Chongqing, be straightforward, don't ask us too much, we'll only help you get the artifact." The short man who had few words spoke.
"Okay, be straight." I said suddenly arrogantly.
Yesterday I was aggrieved by someone at gunpoint, Wan Camel betrayed us, and there is a dangerous future, I really don't want to worry about other things.
"Then we have to know what your name is." Landmine said.
The tall man introduced himself, "My name is Li Ming, and his name is Wednesday. ”
These two names sound the same as Mark Martin, they are aliases, and then the tall man also smiled, "The name is a code name, or call us Zhang San and Li Si, just like you, the boss stool, the mine, Lacey, the old squad leader, Xiao Shuai, Niangniang, isn't it the same code name?" ”
Empress? This tall guy even knows my nickname for Zi Fei?
It seems that they know us very well, and if they haven't been secretly observing us for a long time, they were sent by my dad, because Lacey reported all the members of our group to my dad. It's just that I joked with Zifei in private and called Niangniang a few times, how did he know? Lacey categorically wouldn't even report this, thinking of what Wang Yan said, I have to be a little more careful, beware
Their bigger plans.
From then on, everyone was safe and sound, and they went all the way to the oasis, and Li Ming and Wednesday still disappeared at night and appeared in the morning. Everyone and the old demon are careful and careful, but these two people are still as soon as they enter the tent, the people are gone, and in the end, there is no way, who calls people higher than us.
Two days later, we saw the oasis again, and the closer we got to the oasis, the more excited we became, but when we walked to the place where we were involved in the thousand-year ban last time, we didn't react at all, no one was involved, could it be that the ban had been broken by the Four Seas Gang?
I don't know, we all think that I am afraid that the Four Seas Gang helped us wade through the mines and break the formation.
As I continued walking, large and small graves began to appear around me, many coffins were directly exposed to the ground, most of the coffins were so broken that only a few wooden planks remained, but the bones in the coffins were not rotten. A large number of coffin slabs and bones were directly exposed to the sand.
"This site is very similar to the Xiaohe cemetery, huh?" The old squad leader said.
Before we went into the desert, we had a lot of knowledge about the history of the Taklamakan and if these cemeteries were seen by thousands of camels, they might have to make a fortune looking for antiques. In recent years, tomb robbery has gradually become rampant, and there is even a slogan "If you want to get rich, dig ancient tombs." "I often hear rumors that someone has made a fortune because of the theft of an ancient tomb, plus the treasures that were distributed in the Great Khan's Mausoleum last time, Wan Camel was caught by us and persuaded him to pay a high amount of antiques.
The mine is also in urgent need of a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, and the boss stool is also a money slave, after hearing that the treasure distributed by our Great Khan Mausoleum was sold for a lot of money, the two of them had to stick their heads into almost every exposed cemetery they passed by.
I met Bai Xue the day before yesterday, and I was in a low mood along the way and didn't have time to accompany them to go crazy, so I walked unhurriedly with the camel. It wasn't until the boss's stool and the mines shouted loudly that I came back to my senses.
We rushed over in three or two steps, and in front of the mine and the boss's bench, a coffin that was about to fall apart was stuffed with the bodies of several people, two of whom were somewhat like local villagers.
What's going on!
"The Four Seas Gang." Lacey said calmly.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"There were these two people in the picture that the old demon showed me that day." Lacey pointed to the two men on the coffin and said, "One is their guide, and the other is from the Four Seas Gang." ”
I only remember two people in the picture that the old demon put out, one is Bai Xue and the other is Fire Yama. But Lacey remembered almost every face that appeared in that picture, and this is the gap between people.
When I think of Bai Xue, my heart is a little confused, the people of the Four Seas Gang are piled up in the coffin in such a hurry, why? Are they in any danger? Could there be the corpses of 10,000 camels or even Bai Xue in this coffin?
I was scared when I thought about it.
"Will there be 10,000 camels down there?" I asked unconsciously.
Suddenly, someone tapped me on the right shoulder, which startled me.
"Don't scare me." Zifei said.
"You just tapped me on the shoulder and scared me." I say.
"Pull it out and take a look." Lacey said.
The mine and the boss's stool were pulled out with the feet of several corpses, and a total of five corpses came out, all of whom I didn't recognize, so I was relieved.
The two mysterious old men who were originally staying next to the camel with Wang Yan also came over and looked at the corpse, and the tall Li Ming said, "The face is full of black gas, this is poisoning and death, but after death, the corpse is thin and has no corpse spots, and the skin is dry, as if the blood has been sucked dry after death." ”
"You did the autopsy," said the boss, "I think it was poisoned and bled out, and he died of too much blood." ”
Lacey looked at the corpse and said: "If you bleed to death after poisoning, there will also be corpse spots, after the person's heart stops beating, the blood circulation in the body stops, and there must be a large amount of blood left in the corpse to form corpse spots, even if the person is hung upside down and bled will not be so clean." ”
"Their death here shows that the situation of the Four Seas Gang has changed, will Wan Camel and Bai Xue be in danger?" I asked.
"Let's go, hurry up and catch up." Lacey said.
After burying our heads in the road and no longer looking at the ancient tomb ruins on the side of the road, our speed increased a lot, and we slowly entered the oasis realm. The surrounding trees began to increase, and occasionally snakes and other animals could be seen crawling, as well as snake skins, which indicated that there must be some spells or prohibitions in the vicinity to keep this land unaffected by sandstorms and maintain the same ecological environment as the inland.
It's been a long time since I've felt like I'm stepping on soft soil, and there are more water molecules in the air, and my nose is no longer so dry and uncomfortable.
It seemed that the lake with sunlight could be seen in front of it, but at this moment, several dead bodies appeared on the side of the road again.
Before he could check, a very low black cloud in the sky quickly swept by.
Lacey's eyes were sharp, "It's a big swarm of moths." ”
The moths looked like they were scary, and after a few seconds the moths pounced on us.
"No, run." It was the old man named Li Ming who spoke.
"What are moths afraid of?" Landmine asked.
"This moth is poisonous, and the poisonous powder on its body will be poisoned when it falls on people, and this moth will suck blood if it bites people." Li Ming ran behind him as he spoke, and he also ran that Wednesday.
When he said this, we ran back as fast as we could, and the camels were left alone.
Looking at Li Ming's running posture, I was reminded of Lu Wu blocking the road when I went down to the Great Khan Mausoleum, and the second senior brother also ran away at such a trot.
Li Ming said to Wednesday beside him as he ran, "I should have thought of seeing those dead bodies just now." ”
"You're to blame." That Wednesday joked.
"Blame me, blame me." Although Li Ming said it, he ran fast on his legs.
The two of them were dressed lightly, unlike us, except for the supplies on the camel's back, no one had a dozen catties to thirty catties of different weights on their bodies.
As we ran, the moths flew very fast, and they passed the camels and did not attack the camels, but only chased after us, and when they were about to catch up, they actually divided into half and went out quickly in front of us, and surrounded us on both sides.
Lacey had already taken a few cans of high-concentration mosquito repellent and lit the spray directly with a lighter, and the flames with high temperature immediately burned the swarms of moths, and the moth's corpses fell like rain. But this only stopped a few times, and then more moths flew over.
"Xiao Shuai, quickly call your old demon out." That Wednesday was shouting.
What, they know this, too?
I didn't want to release the old demon immediately, but the old demon was also shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, and immediately transformed into his true appearance, and dense vines began to grow.
We are surrounded by an army of moths!
The sky was densely packed with moths, and the exposed skin began to sting like a burn.
"Ahh Zi Fei screamed in pain, I hurriedly rushed over, but saw that the old squad leader had already pressed Zi Fei down, and the old squad leader's entire body was blocked above Zi Fei, but the back of the old squad leader's neck was exposed.
I saw that the old squad leader was shocked, and two bullae quickly appeared on the back of his neck, as fast as blowing bubble gum.
I was moved in my heart, and at the same time, there were several cries around me, and the back of my own hand was tingling, and I looked down to see that there was already a bullae.
"Old demon, quick."
The rattan in all directions was woven into a large net and immediately surrounded us, we were wrapped in a huge round ball composed of rattan, the rattan was still stretching, countless tiny rattan also grew out, dense and solid, the space we were in was in a darkness, in order to plug some small holes, some green vine leaves also grew.
"Boss, this moth's poisonous powder is really uncomfortable sprinkled on your body, what should I do?" The old demon asked.
"Digging tunnels?" I asked.
"There are too many people, I'm too big to dig up." The old demon said.
Lacey said decisively, "Don't worry about it for now, go in the direction of the oasis." ”
I immediately said, "Okay." ”
If it really doesn't work, you can still foresee the Four Seas Gang, and if the Four Seas Gang doesn't help, they will lure the moths to them, and then find a way to take the snow and run away.
"You pull tight, I just have to roll over, I can't grow any more feet." The old demon said.
"Well, I know you've done your best." I comforted the old demon, so I stretched out my hands and grabbed a rattan stick, and my feet were already entangled by a few rattans that the old demon had grown
。 Once everyone was ready, the giant rattan ball rolled.
