No one asked Qin Gong what this blood locust was, and just hearing the name made people feel a little embarrassed.
At this moment, for the sake of our own lives, all of us didn't care about that much, and said offended to the dried corpse in front of us in our hearts, and then stepped over from it one after another.
The situation was critical, and even though the eggs had not yet hatched, we walked fast, but in a few moments we were back in the same chamber where they had fallen.
Because it was a trot, I accidentally fell on the smooth graveyard floor, and at this moment my elbow was already a little blue, and I also wiped off a large piece of skin, which was very painful.
Not only did I fall while running, but the other people were not much better, and there were inevitably some collisions in the narrow graveyard.
"Qin Gong, what kind of blood locust did you just say?" After everyone had entered the tomb, I asked Qin Gong breathlessly.
It's the first time I've heard of such a thing as a blood locust, and since Qin Gong can recognize at a glance that the half-hatched eggs that burrow out of the dry corpses are blood locusts, he must have seen them somewhere.
"The blood locust is a kind of locust, to be exact, it is a certain genetic mutant of the locust, which was later discovered by some caring Gu keepers, and was eventually bred into a Gu worm." Qin Gong said.
"I still don't understand too much, since the blood locust is also a type of locust, what are we afraid of, don't the locusts eat grass and leaves?" I said.
"Blood locusts are good locusts, but they are fundamentally different from ordinary locusts in that they do not eat leaves and grass, but eat flesh and blood. No grass grows when locusts cross the border, no people or animals are left behind when they cross the border, and those who have not really seen the blood locusts do not know how terrible they are. Qin Gong said with a solemn expression.
"Have you ever seen a blood locust? If you haven't seen it, how can you know so well about such a thing as a blood locust? I asked, a little confused.
Ever since I met this guy Qin Gong, he has given people a very mysterious feeling, and now that I have this opportunity, I naturally want to get some words out of his mouth.
"No, the people who have seen the blood locusts have died, and I saw the relevant records in an ancient book handed down by Gu cultivators, and the book happened to be accompanied by a picture, so I could recognize at a glance that the things that came out of the dried corpses were blood locust eggs." Qin Gong shook his head and said.
While Qin Gong was talking, I had also been secretly observing the expression on Qin Gong's face, and saw that his expression was indifferent, not like he was lying at all.
But even so, I still don't quite believe what Qin Gong said, just by the illustration in an ancient book, I can recognize at a glance that it is a blood locust that comes out of the dried corpse, which is too nonsense.
"If you don't believe what I'm saying, then I can't help it, anyway, I've already told me everything I know." Qin Gong seemed to see that I was suspicious of him, and said again.
"No, I'm thinking about how to deal with those blood locusts, since you have seen relevant records about blood locusts in ancient books, it should also describe how to deal with blood locusts, right?" Naturally, I refused to admit that I was doubting Qin Gong, and said after hearing this.
"There are some records, but it says that the only way to deal with the blood locusts is to burn them with fire, and each blood locust must be burned continuously for a quarter of an hour before it can be completely burned to death, and we obviously do not have that condition now." Qin Gong said with a frown.
"Can't you just kill you?" I asked.
"Of course, the hardness of the body of the blood locust is actually not high, and it is not much different from ordinary locusts, but the vitality is relatively tenacious. But once the blood locusts appeared, they were all thousands of them together, who could have the way to kill them directly? Qin Gong said
"So what should I do, I can't just wait here to die, right? Otherwise, we'll turn back and trample the blood locusts to death before they're fully hatched. I thought about it and said.
"It's a good way to make rice cakes, just trample them all to death while those blood locusts haven't grown yet." Xiao Yue on the side raised his hands in approval.
"This is a good idea, there are nine of us here, and there are only six dried corpses in the stone room, so if you move quickly, you should be able to do it in time." Li Huiyan also said.
"No, if the eggs of the blood locusts rot in the water, they will be highly poisonous, and then we will be poisoned and die first, let alone killing them." Qin Gong seemed to have known that I would have this proposal, and shook his head and said.
"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, so what do you say." Xiao Yue, who was the most impatient, rolled her eyes and said.
"Nothing can be done, and the only way to deal with the blood locusts is to burn them with fire. But it is impossible to find enough firewood in our current conditions, not to mention that the ancient tomb is full of stagnant water, and even if we find firewood, there is no way to make a fire. Qin Gong sighed and said.
"Do you really want to die here?" I said with a chill in my heart.
Qin Gong didn't speak, and seemed to have a bit of a headache about this matter.
The appearance of the Blood Locusts was completely unexpected by all of us, and no one expected that we would suddenly encounter these things, and none of the people present had seen them with their own eyes, let alone had any experience in dealing with them.
"Qin Gong, did the ancient book you read mention the lifespan of these blood locusts?" Just when everyone was frowning and didn't know how to respond, Li Huiyan suddenly asked Qin Gong.
"The lifespan of a blood locust?" Qin Gong lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems that I have mentioned it, but I can't remember it for a while." ”
"You hurry up and think about it, how can you be so capable on weekdays, why is your head not bright when it comes to a critical moment." Xiao Yue shouted on the side.
"Xiao Yue, don't speak, let Qin Gong think quietly." Li Huiyan said to Xiao Yue.
Qin Gong kept his head down, frowning and recalling, looking at his appearance for a while, he couldn't think of anything.
"Let's find a way to save ourselves, I don't know how fast those blood locusts hatch, we can't really just wait here to die." At this time, Qin Gong had already walked to the corner of the tomb by himself, and no one bothered him, I thought about it and said to everyone.
"How can I save myself, can I install an anti-theft door here?" He Zitong said.
"Yes, why didn't I think that there was a tomb door outside the stone room over there, if we closed that tomb door, those blood locusts would not be a threat to us for the time being." Hearing He Zitong's words, I said with a flash of inspiration in my mind.
Just now, because we were in too much of a hurry, we didn't even think about closing the tomb door when we escaped, and I only remembered this when I was reminded by He Zitong.
"If you want to go by yourself, I won't go anyway, maybe those strange insects have already hatched, and if you run over now, you may be gnawed into bones immediately." Hearing this, He Zitong hurriedly said.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been afraid of insects since I was a child, and once I see these things, my whole body will be weak." Hao Xiaojun also followed suit.
"Me too, me too." Yuan Mu refused to be left alone, and said.
"Greedy for life and afraid of death." Xiao Yue sneered very unceremoniously.
I also deeply agree with Xiao Yue's ridicule. Now that we are encountering such a predicament, instead of wanting to work together to tide over the difficulties, He Zitong and the three of them have shown such a greedy appearance of life and fear of death, which is really disappointing.
"Okay, you all stay here, I'll go to close the tomb door alone, anyway, I've been cheap since I was a child, and I can't compare to you young masters and ladies who were born with golden keys." I said, and walked straight out of the tomb door towards the tomb path.
"Three years of Zhang, wait for me." Li Huiyan quickly followed.
Not only that, in addition to He Zitong, Hao Xiaojun and Yuan Mu, the Dong family twin brothers and Xiao Yue also followed. Qin Gong may have been too involved in thinking about things and didn't notice what was happening on our side.
"What I just said wasn't aimed at any of you, so don't take it to heart." I turned around and said to Li Huiyan and the four of them.
Although I don't get angry for no reason on weekdays, but just now after hearing the words of He Zitong and the others, I was really angry, and they all reached this life-threatening situation, and He Zitong and the three of them would only think about themselves, which was really contemptible.
"We all know that we are not angry because of what you just said, and the reason why we followed up was also to help you." Li Huiyan said.
Hearing this, the Dong family sisters and brothers and Xiao Yue also nodded again and again, and Dong Shuang said: "Zhang Sansan, what you said just now is really good, it is He Zitong who has gone too far." ”
Time was urgent, so I didn't dwell too much on this matter, and said again: "It's just a tomb door, and you don't need everyone to follow." In this way, Xiao Yan will go with me, and the rest of you will pick up some burial goods in the tomb, and when we come back, we will use the burial goods to seal the door of the tomb at the back, which is safer. ”
"Alright then, be careful yourselves." Xiao Yue said, and the Dong family brothers and sisters also advised.
Without saying anything more, Li Huiyan and I hurried to the hexagonal stone chamber.
Because we don't know enough about the blood locusts, we don't know when they will hatch from the eggs, and the only thing we can do now is to hurry up and try to close the tomb door before the eggs hatch.
When Li Huiyan and I felt out of breath outside the stone room, we had already seen hundreds of densely hatched blood locusts crawling on the floating dried corpses.
But in appearance, the Blood Locust is indeed very similar to an ordinary locust, but it is larger.
I don't know if it's because they have just hatched, the bodies of these blood locusts are obviously extremely fragile, and they are lying on the dried corpses softly and constantly biting the dried corpses.
Among them, there are also some blood locusts that hatched earlier, and they are already flapping their wings, trying to fly.
As soon as they saw me and Li Huiyan coming over, the blood locusts became irritable at the same time, and some sharp and ugly screams came out of their mouths, wanting to rush towards the place where Li Huiyan and I were.
"This is the hatched blood locust, and it is as bloodthirsty as Qin Gong said." As soon as I heard the screams coming from the mouth of the blood locust, my scalp couldn't help but tingle a little, and I muttered to myself.
Fortunately, we arrived in time, those blood locusts have just hatched and do not have the ability to fly, if we come a few minutes later, we may be greeted by the blood locusts that can already fly.
"Zhang Sansan, don't look at it, hurry up and come over to help." Li Huiyan shouted at me.
Hearing this, I hurriedly ran over and began to close the tomb door as Li Huiyan said.
The growth rate of these blood locusts is extremely amazing, when we came here just now, there was not a single flying blood locust, but in just a minute or so, there are already more than a dozen blood locusts that can barely fly half a foot high.
At this rate of growth, I'm afraid that in less than five minutes, these blood locusts will be able to fully fly, so we must close the tomb door before that.
Regarding the ancient tomb, Li Huiyan obviously knows more than He Zitong, since He Zitong can know how to open the tomb door, Li Huiyan's people also know how to close the tomb door.
Half a minute later, with a rumbling sound, the half-foot-thick tomb door slowly fell, completely isolating us from the blood locusts in the stone chamber.
