Chapter 77: Life and Death (2)

Feeling the slight tremor on the ground, Leng Qi, who was originally about to resist, put down the hand holding on the silver whip again, glanced at everyone and sighed slightly: "It's too late!" ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Feizhu was obviously a little panicked, looked left and right and asked urgently, "What, what's too late?" ”

Leng Qi leaned over to listen to it again, and then his face became even more ugly, and he raised the longan flashlight and shone it towards the way several people came. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the white light of the flashlight, I saw that something seemed to be about to move in the passage in the distance, sweeping like black sea water, and the speed was jaw-dropping.

After only a few seconds, those black sea waters were already more than ten meters closer, and it was only then that I could fully see that those black waves like ink were not some strangely colored liquid, but countless black beetles. They were stacked on top of each other, and six pairs of short legs and feet swayed rapidly, and from a distance, they looked hesitant like a monstrous wave, which made people shudder.

It's not the first time we've seen a swarm, but it's the first time I've felt trembling all over my body just by looking at it. The previous few beetles had caused everyone to flee in embarrassment, not to mention the tens of thousands of swarms now. The eight people stood there and stared blankly, so shocked that they forgot to run away and didn't know where to run.

Seeing that the insect swarm was approaching, Leng Qi bypassed Bruce Lee and shouted as he ran: "Throw away all the burdens and go to the bottom of the pyramid!" As he spoke, he pulled the silver whip out of his waist, lightly slammed it on a large stone, and jumped into the big pit that had just been blown out of the ground with a dragon's eye flashlight.

According to the map markings, there are two exits from this stone chamber, one is the passage where we came, and the other is the passage on the other side of the opposite side. The two passages, one on the left and one on the right, all lead to the ground, but judging from the three-dimensional tremors around them, the swarm must have entered from both sides. The only place where everyone could escape was out of the closed stone chamber at their feet, and Leng Qi went down first, most likely to buy time to find other exits.

The rolling insect waves were in front of him, and a step late could cause them to lose their lives in an instant, so a few people were no longer stunned, except for carrying a flashlight in their hands, they threw aside everything such as backpacks, tools, weapons, etc., and rushed to the edge of the hole with all their strength following Leng Qi's pace, not caring how deep it was, closing their eyes and jumping down like dumplings in the pot.

The opening is about four meters above the ground, and the actual height is less than three meters due to the large number of broken stones falling and piling up during the blasting before. Several people fell in a string on the pile of rubble, although it hurt to lay their butts down, but it was not a big deal.

The space on the last floor is exactly the same as the space at the spire of the tower, with a human-shaped burial coffin on the left and right, and a lifelike pyramid in the distance, and the main coffin at the back of the pyramid.

Leng Qi stood quietly to the side, the expression on her face was very light, it was obvious that she had searched around the entire stone room, but did not find an exit.

At the bottom of the floor, the sounds of the beetles became more pronounced, and we completely lost our minds, and stood stupidly waiting to die.

Among the few people, only the bald head was greedy and did not change, and when he fled for his life, he did not forget to bring the backpack full of antiques. At this moment, he was also standing aside with a pale face, panting slightly.

I turned my head to look at it, and laughed with a crying voice: "Dead bald, the people who are about to feed the insects, why are you still carrying these things." ”

The bald head and face were covered with sweat, and he said seriously: "Bald master, I don't have to worry about food or clothing when I am alive, and I can't be too shabby when I die, even if these objects are the funeral goods of our brothers, I can bring them down to give the Lord of Yama meaning, and let him arrange for us to reincarnate a few rich and noble families......"

As he spoke, the rattling noise became louder, and Rum, who had remained silent, seemed to realize the danger, and crawled and barked at the opening above his head.

And Ouyang Feizhu's father and daughter were directly dumbfounded, and their eyes were dull and they didn't know what to say......

In the face of such a desperate situation, no one can do anything, but can only wait for death slowly. So we also gave up the struggle, resigned ourselves to fate, found a higher place to huddle together, and waited for the beetles to come in the sky.

But more than ten minutes passed, and although the rattling sound never stopped, there was no beetle falling from the opening above the head, not a single one!

The bald head frowned, handed the backpack to the bone, walked to the bottom of the opening and raised the flashlight to shine it, and suddenly said suspiciously: "What's so special...... I can't describe what the situation is, I can't describe it......"

Leng Qi and I also walked side by side, and we were stunned when we looked up at the flashlight. I saw that tens of thousands of beetles had already rushed to the edge of the opening, but they did not come down, as if there was an invisible barrier around them, and countless beetles were stacked on top of each other to a height of more than one meter, and none of them could cross over.

In the ancient tombs in China, almost every tomb owner will build an insect belt around his main tomb, using special methods to prevent the tomb from being eroded by insects and ants, and it is not excluded that the Egyptian pharaohs will also try similar methods. But even so, in the case of a large number of insects penetrating into the tomb, due to gravity and inertia, some of them will enter the burial chamber, but they will die later. But what we've seen so far, countless thumb-sized beetles are piled up in layers, and although they look precarious, none of them have fallen. This situation is a bit supernatural.

It's impossible to explain, but the situation is in our favor at the moment, as it won't be swallowed up by the swarm right away. I breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and glanced at the bald head and Leng Qi: "What should I do now?" ”

The bald head shrugged his shoulders: "What else can I do, it's up to fate, since the swarm doesn't come down, sooner or later there will be a time to disperse, we can only wait." ”

Leng Qi's eyes kept staring at the insect wall that was high above, and his expression was still a few heavy: "If they don't come down, they may be afraid of some kind of insect repellent, or they may not want to come down now!" ”

"Don't want to come down now?" The bald head snorted: "Could it be that this insect also has three meals a day, and is ready to come down to 'eat' when it arrives?" ”

Leng Qi ignored his joke and sighed heavily: "Perhaps, they are waiting for something else to come......"
