Chapter 5 The necromancer

Li An and the others descended more than ten meters along the rope and arrived at the tomb on the third floor underground.

The buildings around this burial chamber seem to be able to absorb light sources, illuminating a large area of LED miner's lamps in the darkness of the flat ground outside, placed in it, as if trapped by an invisible lampshade, the light is firmly locked in a small range and cannot illuminate further places.

Li An's foothold was exactly in the middle of this tomb, and there were stone troughs scattered on the ground around them, and a ghost blood agate was placed on each stone trough.

Ang Lee thought that this should be some kind of mysterious ritual, and after seeing this situation, Ang Lee warned the other team members not to touch the things here and look for the person who fell first.

They carefully searched around with miner's lamps and shouted the man's name, hoping to find the fallen teammate. After searching for a while, they didn't find any figures, and while they were wondering, there was a sudden scream of "ah" from the group.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see a student covering his face with his hands, and the whole person was bowing to the ground and howling in pain.

I saw the student covering his face and rolling on the ground, and the sound of howling gradually became muddy and hissing.

Li An and the others pressed the student to the ground and fixed it, then took out some emergency medicine tools from the first-aid kit, and broke the student's hands, and he had to figure out the situation before he could save people.

After the student's hand was broken, he didn't continue to struggle, but his eyes looked at it in a daze, there seemed to be something in his mouth, and Li An used a flashlight to shine it, and found a dark red object in the student's mouth, isn't this the ghost blood agate?

Its form changed, there was a black dot floating left and right in the middle as if it was alive, and from the surroundings of this ghost blood agate, countless red silk flocculent objects grew all over the student's entire mouth, and it seemed that this thing continued to grow deep into the throat, so the student didn't make much noise, more air out, less air in, and it should be hopeless.

"He just touched that damn ball! That must be the devil's eyeball! It turned out that the person who was recruited took advantage of the fact that the others were looking for the missing student, and he thought to himself that these things would have to be studied later, so he took a ghost blood agate and picked it up, wanting to see what it was.

He exhaled at the ghost blood agate, then wiped it, put the right side of his face against it, and pressed it against the flashlight to see what was going on, who expected that the ghost blood agate actually got into this person's throat with a slight tremble, and all this happened to be seen by another student, and then it was Li An and what they saw.

"Hell, I don't want to stay here anymore, this is the graveyard of demons! I want to go home! Seeing this, the other students made a fuss.

Li Anke is not only a university professor, but also participated in the excavation of many monuments in Central and North America, and has seen all kinds of scenes, seeing this situation, he asked the other students to calm down, and then told them that they should go to the ground first, and tell the local authorities about the situation here, this kind of thing happened, it is no longer their archaeological team can deal with it alone.

He instructed the other students to carry the person who had the accident back the same way, and just as they were about to use the lifting rope to return to the second basement floor, "He~~~" The mad voice came from the invisible darkness again.

Li An and the others stopped, and shot in the direction of the sound with the wolf's eye flashlight, and they were surprised to find that the student who had fallen before was standing not far away in a strange posture.

They shouted the man's name, but the man didn't seem to hear it, and moved towards them in a puppet-like motion. The incident was weird, Ang Lee asked the others not to act rashly, and when the person slowly approached and entered the range of the light, he found that the person's entire body, skin, and even bones had shown an irregular twist, his eyes were pitch black, and his limbs were adsorbed by several tentacle-like objects.

"Teacher, is he still alive?" Looking at the scene in front of them, the students asked Ang Lee. Li An didn't speak, but pulled out the machete, asked the others to control the light source, and cut off the "tentacles" attached to the person from the side, and with a muffled sound, the person should be cut down.

"Grunt, clatter~~~" There was a piercing roar around him, accompanied by a monster sound similar to the movie "Alien", and a huge black shadow appeared in front of everyone.

What a big worm! And it's a giant worm full of tentacles! Where the light source can be seen, only a small part of the insect body can be seen, at least five meters in diameter! How long you can't see!

When I heard this, I had completely understood that this TM was not a ghost blood agate at all, but a corpse marrow worm! There are clouds in ancient books: corpse marrow worm, young egg-like, when angry, enter the dantian, turn into a corpse puppet, take the essence, and get immortality.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Taoist law flourished, legend has it that a Taoist priest once found this insect in a deep mountain, he used it to study the art of immortality, whether it was successful or not no one knows, and finally it was regarded as an evil demon by the orthodox alchemy sect after all, so after a flash in the pan, this thing disappeared, and the only record that can be found is this word.

I also heard my grandfather mention it by chance when I was a child, but I didn't expect this corpse marrow larva to be exactly the same as the ghost blood agate, is it a coincidence or providence? This big worm should be the corpse marrow motherworm, but such a large female worm may have never been seen in the whole world, right? Whose grave is this? Could it be that the owner of this tomb is also seeking immortality?

Time is pressing, so let's return to Ang Lee's story.

At the same time as the tentacles of the corpse marrow mother worm were cut off and roared, more tentacles were thrown out of the corpse marrow mother worm and shot towards everyone, the length of the tentacles was obviously much beyond their cognition, so they could only dodge in embarrassment.

I don't know why the huge body of the bug didn't move forward, but just kept reaching out to grab them. Ang Lee and the others prepared to move diagonally against the wall to see if they could get out of the tentacle's attack range.

However, something even worse happened, the student who was dragged down by the tentacles at the beginning began to slowly get up from the ground, his eyes turned red, and a line was dragging at his navel, and at the end there was a corpse worm egg that should now be called a corpse worm falling, roaring and rushing towards them, this person must have been completely eroded by the egg-like larvae and became a corpse puppet, and it just blocked Li An's retreat.

The corpse puppet and tentacles attacked this group of people at the same time, so that Li An and they gave birth to a complete sense of powerlessness, this corpse puppet's body does not look strong, but it is extremely flexible, this group of weak intellectuals who have not undergone any combat training, slashing it can't hurt them in the slightest. Seeing that slashing with a knife was useless, Li An's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. "Teacher, are these the demons of the East?"

Li An saw that the others were already on the verge of collapse, and frowned, thinking that the local department had issued a small can of fire oil to each of them, originally this fire oil was used to make simple torches from local materials, or to quickly light a fire when needed, but now looking at this situation, since the physical attack of this thing is ineffective, it is impossible to say that this fire oil can only be used as a "fire attribute attack" to try.

Li An immediately took out the canister of fire oil and shouted to the rest: "Listen to me, no matter what it is, God will bless us, now I need someone to help me destroy this ghost thing, I will pour this ignited oil on this unfortunate man, you help delay his action, I will light it!" Then it will be possible for us to save ourselves. ”

The others were originally led by Ang Lee, and after hearing these words, they were not so flustered for the time being, and they all agreed in unison.

After Li An finished speaking, he unscrewed the lid of the oil tank and threw it at the corpse puppet, the two students on the left and right beat it with shovels to resist the corpse puppet, and the others simply picked up the insect eggs on the ground and threw them at the corpse marrow mother, the mother worm seemed to know that this was its own offspring, and with a burst of roars, she caught these eggs with her tentacles, but gave Li An time to concentrate on dealing with the corpse puppet.

Li An saw the opportunity, took out the fire fold and stabbed it into the corpse puppet, fortunately, the fire attack worked!

Just as they watched the corpse puppet move under the flames, several tentacles struck again quickly, wrapping a person and quickly dragging it away, and then the corpse marrow mother worm also disappeared without a trace. Everyone was shocked again, and Li An beckoned the others to quickly move away, leaning against the other side of the wall and trying to stay away from the corpse marrow mother worm first.

After dragging another person away, the big bug disappeared again like the first time, as if it had never appeared, if it weren't for the burning remains of the corpse puppet on the ground, Li Ang and they would definitely think that it was just a nightmare.

Seeing the loss of another person, Li An's face became even more gloomy, and he decided that everyone should go out first, and then find a way to figure out everything here, and not let the two students die in vain.

But when they returned to the location of the lifting rope, they found that there was no way to go back, the rope that went up did not know when it was broken, and from the passage, even the lifting frame was dragged down.

At this critical moment, all the communication equipment failed, whether it was a mobile phone or a walkie-talkie, it was unusable.

Li Ang shouted loudly at the passage, hoping to get in touch with the staff on the ground, but no matter how they shouted, the shouts were like stones sinking into the sea, and all they answered was the silent darkness of the dark passage.

Li An and the others took advantage of this limited peace time to find that there was another way in the three underground floors in addition to the place where the big worms came out, and what about moving forward immediately, Li An was thinking.

Now two team members have died, and in addition to Li An, there are three team members, and their spirits may collapse at any time.

I don't know how far away it is, and I don't know if there is a way out or if there is something more dangerous waiting for them in front of them, so Li An decided to take the initiative to kill the corpse marrow motherworm, even if they can't kill it, at least they have to find a way to trap it here, so that they can have no worries and continue to find a way to get out of the predicament.

Ang Lee told the rest of the people what he thought, and when he saw his companion being killed by the big bug, they were not only afraid but also angry, and most importantly, they were more reluctant to be caught by the tentacles behind him who didn't know when they would appear when they were walking forward, so everyone agreed with Ang Lee's idea.

Li An took out the bag of mine explosives that had been prepared a long time ago, which was safe, stable, easy to preserve, and controllable.

Then they gathered all the light sources, searched for a while near the direction of the corpse marrow mother worm, and after making sure that it was safe at the moment, they quickly laid the main medicine pack around, and planted an explosive bag at intervals, so as to ensure the linkage of the martyrdom, in order to achieve the expected explosion effect, and the only way to deal with this insect is to use explosives, Li An will not be naΓ―ve to think that just a machete can solve this big guy.

Ang Lee was very skilled, and soon he had all the mine explosives bags arranged. Just as he was pulling the fuse and preparing to ignite it, the familiar and terrifying roar reappeared, and as a large black shadow peeked out in front of him, one of the team members (the one who dragged me and the stallion down and was then burned to death, named Dean) suddenly screamed wildly, and then ran off the other road without looking back.

Li An greeted the other two team members who stayed where they were and didn't know what to do, and told them to hurry up and find a safe place to meet in front, and he lit the explosives and followed.

After seeing the other two team members leave, Li An looked at the big bug's face with a touch of hideousness: "Come on, damn the big bug, let you go to God!" ”

Bang! Bang! There was a loud bang, and with a violent tremor, the ground happened to the ground when I was at the bonfire with the stallions.

The distribution and quantity of explosives were arranged by Li An after analyzing the geological structure here, and he would not bury himself underground, so Li An could not do such a stupid thing.

He didn't know if he had blown up the corpse marrow worm, and after lighting the fuse, he went after the other team members. But think about the size of the bug, the length will definitely not be short, and if you are lucky, you may be able to blow the bug into two pieces, so that you can completely avoid the trouble.

That's all the details of what happened to Ang Lee before they met me and the stallion. I've written a long story, but it's only a matter of minutes.

We are now outside this cemetery, looking at the relief on the door. After Ang Lee's narration, I have been able to grasp some of the situation of this ancient tomb as a whole, and I vaguely feel that the things in this tomb should be the key to the entire ancient tomb, and there should be something terrible in it, but it is impossible to judge whether the evil is auspicious.

Li An said: "Two Chinese friends, why don't we go in first, otherwise things may get worse later." ”

I saw that the stallion seemed to be deep in thought, and was about to speak, when there was another roar from the direction we had run, and the corpse marrow mother should have crawled out of the pit and chased after it.

What's worse is that there was another loud noise, and the passage for Li An and the others to come was also blocked by falling rocks. As the roar got closer, flying tentacles and huge shadows could already be seen.

"Why are you still stunned, let's go in, or wait for this crazy bug to come and eat us? Such a big movement didn't kill this bug, and it seems that the explosives of this US imperialist are not very good! Seeing this big insect dumpling so excited, we are KFC family buckets for it! The stallion suddenly screamed.

Damn, the ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws after all! Let's go in! Everyone pushed the door together, rumbling~ As the dust on the door fell, the door of the tomb, which had been sealed for thousands of years, was slowly pushed open by us.
