Chapter 124: Breeding Corpse Insects

By the time the coffins in the tomb were all burned, the sky was already a little dark, and although Wu and a few people didn't worry about corpse insects, they were more or less bitten a few times, and in order to prevent being infected by corpse poison, several people went to a temporary health center to get vaccinated.

After the wound was cleaned and bandaged, it was already completely dark, and it was obviously too risky to check the situation in the grave again, so after some simple discussion, several people were taken by the police to the house of a local villager to settle down first, and prepared to go again tomorrow morning to find out if there was anything else worth studying in the grave pit.

Wu and a few people gathered around a dining table, and there were a few hot dishes fried by the villagers on the table, but a few people, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't move their chopsticks. The insecticide war just now was really disgusting, although several people washed their bodies and changed into clean clothes, but there was still that foul smell between their noses, and no one had an appetite.

Wu Yi checked the second external task in the system interface'Check the tomb pit of Xiangcun in the Ming Dynasty', the task still shows that it is still continuing, obviously, there is another mystery in this tomb pit that has not been discovered, it is definitely not as simple as a large number of corpse insects in the coffin.

Xiao Octagonal put down the chopsticks in his hand again, sighed and said,

"Blind senior, little Wu, fat man, thank you for your help today, if you hadn't helped at that time, those students might not have been able to survive the rescue team, and they would have ......"

The blind man waved his hand and said,

"Tsk, if you want to thank you for this matter, you still have to thank our Wu Ye and Fat Ye, thanks to them, regardless of their past suspicions. The old man couldn't see anything, and he didn't help much, but according to the old man, it was best for you to let go of the matter of this tomb pit first, and wait for the archaeological team in the city to come and make plans, those corpses and insects ...... The old man suspects that it doesn't seem to have grown up the day after tomorrow, but it seems that when he was buried in these coffins, he was raised together. ”

Little Octagon also heard a lot of deeds about the blind man from the mouth of the octagonal grandfather, and knew that the blind man was well-informed.

"Blind senior, can you give us a detailed explanation of your opinion."

The blind man nodded, and after a moment of silence, said,

"This corpse worm, the old man doesn't know how much you know, so let's start from the beginning. The corpse insect is a rare thing, it is a special kind of beetle that feeds on corpses...... Oh, when the old man was archaeological research antiquities, he didn't encounter a few corpse insects in total, and there were very few of them. But this time, everyone has seen it, and the number of old men doesn't need to be said, in short, it's huge! With such a large group, it is difficult to appear so many unless it is artificially farmed! ”

The fat man smiled when he heard this, and said,

"What's that? You say those corpse worms were raised by people? What are you doing with this thing? Is it buried in the ground for thousands of years to dig up and drink wine? ”

The blind man's words reminded Wu Yi of the countless Vietnamese bird-catching spiders he encountered the last time he went down, and thought about it and said,

"Could it be that these corpse worms are also used to prevent tomb robbers?"

The blind man nodded approvingly,

"Not bad! Master Wu, you are growing up much faster than the old man expected! In fact, when you said earlier that there was not only one human bone in the coffin, the old man had some guesses that those bones might not be placed together for joint burial, but to provide food for the corpse insects raised in the coffin! Corpse insects don't have a big appetite, so they only eat a little at a time, and then they fall asleep in a cold and damp environment. The many corpses in that coffin are probably the food for the corpse worms after they wake up! When those corpses are eaten, a batch of corpse insects has grown into one, and when they die, their corpses will be used as food for the mouths of the newborn corpse worms, and so on and so on, and the number of corpse worms will become more and more, so that the scale we see today. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Bajiao nodded thoughtfully on the side, but then a new question came, and she asked,

"If it is really like what the blind predecessors said, these corpse insects are used to prevent tomb robbers, then there must be a coffin of a noble person in this tomb pit, but today we have all seen it, the coffins dug up are all very ordinary coffins, and they are all corpse insects, and there is no tomb owner worth preventing theft at all?"

When the blind man heard this, he smiled and said,

What the little octagonal girl said is very true, and this is something that the old man has not yet figured out. If these corpse insects are really a means used by the tomb owner to scare off the tomb robbers, then there must be something worth guarding underground! But so far, we haven't seen anything. That's why the old man said earlier that there is another mystery in this tomb, and there must be something we have ignored that has not yet been discovered. The old man has a hunch that this will definitely not be a good thing! After all, you haven't been officially co-opted by the authorities, and we can't fight hard for this matter, so you better wait for the city's archaeological team to come and let them take care of the aftermath! ”

Wu Yi also agreed with the blind man's words, this task of 'checking the tomb of the village in the Ming Dynasty', the difficulty given by the system is one and a half stars, after several practices, Wu Yi also knows the difficulty of this star and a half, it will definitely not be a good stubble, maybe there is any danger lurking in the dark, or wait for those archaeological teams to come, let them go to the thunder is safer.

Little Octagon is not a brainless person, she knows that the blind man is kindly reminding herself, so she nodded and said,

"Blind senior, don't worry, tomorrow I will tell the police department, first block the scene, and when the people in the city arrive, we will make another plan."

The blind man nodded and said with a smile,

"That's very good."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and several people were stunned, and before they could ask who it was, the person outside the door just pushed the door and strode in!

The person who came was none other than Brother Zhang from the police department who went to pick up Xiao Bajiao and Wu Yi.

Brother Zhang's face was a little anxious at this time, and after seeing the little anise, he didn't have time to say hello, so he opened his mouth directly and asked,

"Little Octagon girl, do you remember how many students there were in the intern archaeology team that came here?"
