Chapter 103: The rotting corpse is not rotten
What is this?
Everyone looked at the box and was stunned, they never thought that there was such a thing hidden in the stomach of this huge monster, who deliberately put it in, or did this beast swallow it by mistake?
"Brother Ze, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Luo Fatty's eyes stared at the box in a daze, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Kill the monster to get the treasure, is this the harvest after the legendary dragon slaying!" Alice was a little excited and called out in English, and Jiang Yan translated for her to Wu Ze and Luo Fatzi.
"The treasure of the strange centipede, so there should be a treasure in it!"
Although he had just gotten rid of the danger, Luo Fatzi quickly returned to his original greedy and lustful dead appearance.
This bronze box looks extraordinary, and the volume is not small, if it is really a treasure inside, I am afraid it is worth a lot of money, and everyone is interested in what Alice said.
Luo Fatzi held a sapper shovel in his hand, and hurriedly came over to help, cleaning up the corpses near the box and the vomit of the strange centipede, and preparing a shovel to pry the box open to see what was inside.
And at this time, Wu Ze's eyes were attracted by those corpse pieces, these corpse pieces spit out from the mouth of the monster centipede, that is, those unclothed corpses in the water, although they were digested by the monster's stomach acid, but the shape was still wrong, the skin of those corpses in the water was as new as new, like people who had just died. The most \\fast\\more\\new\\just\\in the black\\rock\\ pavilion
However, these corpse pieces are wrinkled and turned black, and there are even some signs of carbonization on the surface!
With a bang, Luo Fatzi saw what Wu Ze was observing, stopped the shovel, kicked a head that had been bitten off to the cliff, bounced back and rolled to Wu Ze's feet.
Wu Ze's gaze was attracted by the human head under his feet, this human head was completely different from the human face he had seen under the water before, the whole dark skin was wrinkled, and it didn't even look like a human being, the face was extremely hideous.
"Did you find anything?"
The surface of this corpse was coated with a layer of something, Wu Ze reached down and touched it, it was smooth and slightly hard, as if it was coated with a layer of wax, but it was not like wax, and he didn't know what substance it was, causing these corpses to float in the water for thousands of years without rotting.
"These corpse pieces spit out of the mouth of the strange centipede are very strange, Wu Ze, what did you find?" Jiang Yan asked on the side.
"The preservation method of these corpses is very strange, as if the corpses are coated with some special material, it is certain that this is definitely not a stone maid, or a wooden figurine, I saw it under the water before, there are men, women and children, as if the entire tribe was exterminated, and they were all made into this kind of corpse figurines that have been preserved for thousands of years and are intact, that is, the ingredients of strange centipedes!" Michiko said calmly on the side.
Luo Fatzi saw everyone staring at those corpses, the deformed heads, ignoring the bronze box under his shovel, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing with some disgusting things, it's worthless, let's think about how to open this treasure chest!" ”
"Don't worry, fat man, come step by step, the box is in your hand, and you can run away with long legs? Now the strange centipede doesn't know where it is, and we haven't found a way to escape yet, we have to find clues from everything we find, and these clues will be checked one by one, and we will have more confidence in our hearts! ”
Wu Ze said this, and the sapper shovel in his hand pried the bronze box vigorously, but it didn't move at all, so he went to the water's edge and cleaned his hands soiled by the strange centipede vomit.
Jiang Yan, Wu Ze, and Michiko, surrounded by those corpses, as well as many human heads that had been bitten off and had not been chewed up, looked at them carefully, but they were a little frightened.
Because these corpses died in a very tragic state, when he first saw their limbs being folded backwards, Wu Ze knew that these sacrifices, which served as food for the monster centipedes, must have suffered hardships, and when they were underwater, they focused on their gray eyes, and the transparency of the water was not very high, so he didn't see the expressions of the corpses.
Now where the heads are arranged, the face is still coated with another layer of oily embalming, and the expression on the face is painful and terrifying, you can imagine what kind of torture they have suffered before they die.
Perhaps it was the broken limbs alive and the embalming substance poured alive, and that look of pain and hatred and despair, even if it was seen thousands of years later, was enough to make people feel creepy.
The sapper shovel turned down again, and found that there was a female corpse that was relatively well preserved, as if it had been swallowed directly by a strange centipede, and her body had not been torn or chewed.
The female corpse also folded backwards, and the whole person showed a strange direction curled up, the joints were broken, and behind her appeared something the size of half a basketball, translucent silkworm cocoon!
Wu Ze pulled out the paratrooper knife and stabbed it, and found that this translucent object like silk was very tough, and with a slight stab, the sharp paratrooper knife had no way to pierce it.
"What is this?" The strong flashlight in Jiang Yan's hand shone through, and she found that there was a shadow inside, moving as if it was a larva or something.
"Isn't it something like a corpse snake again?" Michiko shouted.
In this way, it can explain why these corpses have survived until now, and the corpse snake will secrete anti-decay substances after parasitic on the corpse, so as to ensure that the corpse does not decompose, and then control the corpse to walk.
So could the larvae inside this tough cocoon be a variant of the corpse snake?
The curiosity of several people was completely aroused, and they looked around the strange thing behind the female corpse, maybe the waxy embalming layer on those corpses was precisely because of this bug.
"Wu Ze, you cut it open and take a look!" Jiang Yan said on the side.
Wu Ze nodded, and the paratrooper knife in his hand cut fiercely on the silkworm cocoon, but only cut a shallow dark mark, not a cut.
"I said Brother Ze, what is the use of your knife to kill chickens, or is it really a big guy in my hand!"
Luo Fatzi, who came back after washing his hands, saw Wu Ze retreating, picked up the sapper shovel high, and chiseled it into the cocoon fiercely, and sure enough, half a basketball-sized cocoon was torn open by him.
The larvae-like black shadow inside suddenly emerged from the opening, something like a cow's tongue, somewhat similar to a corpse snake, but much smaller in size and darker gray in color.
Wu Ze beckoned to Luo Fatzi, intending to withdraw this thing directly, although he knew that this larva was very slippery, and its movements were countless times more sensitive than imagined, so it jumped out at once, and it was about to fall to the water's edge.
