Chapter 690: The Punishment of Insect Devouring [1 Update]
O'Connor suddenly stared at the broken soldier's throat and exclaimed, "Oh my God, the flesh between the throats is gone, only an empty shell remains, can it be said that all the flesh and blood have been eaten by these strange insects?" ”
You can clearly see the corpses of several soldiers on the ground, and the fatal part is the throat part, one was cut open by Marquis William, so everyone saw the flesh and blood composed of strange nematodes that were picked apart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be precise, it must have been made up of a large number of strange insects, and after landing, the flesh and blood wriggled and finally became a series of worms like thin lines.
"What kind of bug is this, and how can this bug appear in the bodies of these soldiers?"
A few soldiers who were lucky enough to escape subconsciously touched their throats at this time, as if they were worried that such a strange and deadly bug would suddenly appear between their throats.
At this moment, Evelyn, who had been staring at the thin thread-like insects wriggling on the ground in a daze, suddenly spoke: "I thought about it, I know what the origin of these insects is. ”
After listening to Evelyn's words, everyone suddenly looked at Evelyn, if Evelyn really knew the origin of these insects, then wouldn't they be able to defend against them.
Evelyn frowned and said, "I also saw a record of this insect in an ancient book, in which it is recorded that this insect is called a blood nematode, and these insects themselves appear in the form of insect eggs, and the most important thing is that these insect eggs are very small and slight, attached to the stone wall or stone door of the tomb, and once someone pries open the door of the tomb, these insect eggs will fall from the stone door." ”
Saying that, Evelyn looked at the shattered stone door and said: "Those insect eggs drifted away with the explosion just now, and these tiny insect eggs entered the human throat when those soldiers breathed, so they attached to the throat area, quickly hatched, and then began to frantically absorb nutrients......"
Many of them had a look of horror on their faces, and if it was really what Evelyn said, then it would explain why it was the soldiers closest to the stone gate who had the accident.
It was because the soldiers were the closest to the stone gate, so when they breathed air, they sucked in most of the scattered eggs.
O'Connor was stunned for a moment when he heard Evelyn's words, "I forgot to take the gas mask, if I had taken the mask mask, maybe these people would not have died." ”
There were already rudimentary gas masks in this era, but neither O'Connor nor anyone else had thought of preparing them.
Looking at the entrance to the pyramid that looked like a monster was entrenched there, Marquis William said to O'Connor, "O'Connor, do we want to go deeper into it?" ”
O'Connor said, "Naturally, we have to continue, although there is no gas mask, but we can make one easily." ”
As he spoke, O'Connor found a towel from his backpack, poured water from the kettle on top of the towel, wet the towel, and with a stabbing sound, the towel was torn in half, handed it to Evelyn and said, "Honey, remember to cover your mouth and nose." ”
The others followed suit, digging out the towels in their backpacks and dousing them with water to cover their mouths and noses.
Marquis William did not make any move, but walked towards the open pyramid first.
A faint invisible light flickered, and Marquis William directly held his breath, with his cultivation, even if he held his breath for an hour or two, it was not a problem.
Marquis William opened the way in front, and everyone hurriedly followed, entering the pyramid one by one.
Not long after, Fang Xiaoyu's figure appeared in front of the pyramid, his gaze swept over several corpses on the ground, and Fang Xiaoyu's expression was calm.
It's also a pharaoh's pyramid, and if you're not careful, it's not uncommon to lose your life.
Fang Xiaoyu's heart moved, and his whole body was full of energy, and he stepped into it without hesitation.
Marquis William and the others, who entered the pyramid first, walked between a narrow road, which was not high, but it was enough for one person to stand, and it could accommodate one person.
The footsteps of several people echoed through the silent corridors, and the darkness was lit by torches in their hands.
Suddenly, Marquis William, who was walking in the front, felt a slight vibration under his feet, and then there was a sound of breaking the air in front of him.
"Be careful, everyone."
After Marquis William's warning, he subconsciously drew his sword, but in this narrow corridor, it was a little difficult to turn around, let alone draw his sword.
The most important thing is that the sound of breaking the air in front of him has already reached the front, and Marquis William can only reach out and grab at the thing that is shooting at it.
A cold feeling came from his hand, and with the help of the firelight, Marquis William could see that what he was holding in his hand was a spear, which was covered with patina, and he didn't know how long it had existed.
Looking at the bronze spear held in his hand, Marquis William was vigilant in his heart, he had never taken the so-called Egyptian pyramids to heart, wasn't it just a pharaoh's tomb, could there be any existence in it that could threaten him.
But first the accident at the entrance, and then the encounter in this corridor, made Marquis William realize that this Egyptian pyramid was not as simple as he thought.
The power contained in the bronze spear in his hand is not weak, that is, his strength is strong, if he is a strong person at the innate level, let alone take the bronze spear, I am afraid that he will be pierced on the spot.
If such a spear cannot be stopped, then in this narrow corridor, it can definitely directly penetrate the bodies of several people.
With the spear in hand, William continued to walk, but he was a little more vigilant as he walked, and he was almost a few feet away, when suddenly the sharp blades on the four walls of the road burst out.
The very narrow corridor itself, the sharp spikes that burst out from the left and right, the top of the head, and the feet, if you can't dodge, you are afraid that you will be stabbed to death.
"Drink."
With a snap, the bronze spear in Marquis William's hand slammed down on the spikes that sprang out from the four walls.
The sound of clattering gold and iron was heard, and the bronze spear seemed to suddenly become a divine weapon under the power infused by Marquis William, directly smashing all the protruding spikes around it in an instant.
But even so, Marquis William can at most protect the distance of more than a zhang in front of and behind him, and as for the farther away, the bronze spear in Marquis William's hand is not long enough.
Terrible screams echoed through the corridors of China, and it was the bodies of several soldiers who were lagging behind that were pierced through the bodies by the spikes that suddenly burst out.
Not to mention that the power of the spikes directly pierces people, even if it cuts a little flesh, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky, because who knows how long these spikes have existed for an unknown amount of time are covered with rust, whether they are contaminated with germs and the like.
There were more than a dozen people in a group, except for a few people who died at the entrance because of blood nematodes, there were ten people left, but there were only five people still standing at this time, and the other five people were pierced through their bodies by spikes at this time.
There were terrible screams behind him, but O'Connor, Marquis William and the others had no way to save a few people.
Stomping his feet, Marquis William said, "Let's go." ”
Gradually, the screams behind him disappeared, and the few people who were buried in their heads knew in their hearts that those people must have lost their breath.
This has not yet entered the pyramid, and the group has already lost most of it, if you enter the pyramid, the resting place of the pharaoh, I don't know what kind of danger there is.
The voice of the Marquis William sounded in O'Connor's ears: "O'Connor, follow closely, otherwise if there is any accident, I may not be able to protect you." ”
At this time, O'Connor's expression was solemn, and O'Connor couldn't help but be careless, just him, and the key Evelyn also followed into this dangerous pyramid, and he didn't want to go out with Evelyn's body at that time.
Fortunately, there was no danger in the future, and the road gradually became much more open.
Suddenly, there was an open space in front of him, a space that was almost hundreds of square meters, and the surrounding scene could be faintly seen by the light of the fire.
Marquis William suddenly threw out the torch in his hand, and saw that the torch was smashing on an oil lamp, and the sparks on the torch were splashing, but those splashed sparks fell on the oil lamps around him, and suddenly the dark space of thousands of years suddenly brightened.
Everyone's eyes lit up, but suddenly they were a little uncomfortable.
Squinting their eyes, everyone could see the surrounding scene clearly, and they saw that in this space, there were guards standing there all around, and there were dozens of these guards.
However, considering that this is the tomb of the pharaoh, it is not unusual for dozens of guards to appear here.
Evelyn was looking around curiously, the stone wall was full of carvings, and the carved patterns on them were a little vague, but the contents of the carved patterns could be roughly seen.
Standing in front of the stone wall, Evelyn looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Come and see, everyone!" ”
O'Connor walked up to Evelyn and asked curiously, "Honey, what's wrong?" ”
Evelyn pointed to the mural in front of her and said, "O'Connor, look at this carving. ”
O'Connor's eyes fell on the mural, and soon O'Connor was surprised: "Hey, this mural seems to be punishing a person, looking at this person's attire, it seems that the identity is also very noble, well, and this seems to be a woman, but she seems to be dead......"
Evelyn combined the vague Egyptian inscription on the side with the content of the mural and said, "This is supposed to be the torture of worms, and if this text is correct, the tortured person turned out to be a high priest." ”
