Chapter 392: Cryptoptera
"Whew......"
Just as I was about to hold on, the beast suddenly let out a scream, gave up its attack on me, and stood upright from the stone platform; I wiped the mucus from my face and looked at it, only to see that the back of the beast's neck was bitten by a monkey's head, and the beast let go of me in pain. It seems that Lao Shibi released the monkey head at a critical moment, which saved me.
"Brother Tian, hurry!"
Lin Zi shouted to me from afar!
I also knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so I hurriedly propped up my body that was about to be crushed by the beast and rolled down from the stone platform, and then staggered to the forest where they were!
The numbness and pain in my body had been completely left behind at such a time, and all I could do was rush to the forest with all my might to seize a glimmer of life for myself.
"Boom!"
The stone gate was slammed shut by the forest with a loud bang! Rushing into another burial chamber behind the stone door, I instantly lost all my strength and collapsed to the ground; Lao Shibi is the same, he has already lost too much blood, and at this time he manipulated the monkey head to save me, and he was already exhausted, and he had not even had time to take back the monkey head outside and fell behind the stone gate like me.
After Lin Zi closed the door of the tomb, he hurriedly knocked down the two huge white stones standing on both sides of the stone gate and blocked the stone door!
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
The beast pursued from the outside of the tomb, and slammed into the stone door from the outside, and there was an earth-shattering sound, but fortunately, the weight of the two stones was not light, and it could not enter in a short time.
But at this moment, my eyes were drawn to the scene in this tomb!
As far as the eye can see, although the tomb in front of you is about the same size as the one outside, what you see and hear inside is completely different!
I don't know what gems or something are embedded in the surrounding walls? Densely covered the entire wall, and a burst of red fluorescence illuminated the entire burial chamber. In the middle of the burial chamber is a stone platform on which stands a huge white stone.
The white stone was more than a man tall and more than two meters wide, and the surface was smooth and flawless, and from a distance, it looked like a giant goose egg! And in the clearing around the huge white stone, there were also white stones one after another, but they were much smaller than the giant white stone, and at best a little bigger than a basketball.
Large and small white stones are paved on the ground, which looks exquisite, as if you have come to the showroom of a giant goose egg; It's just that although these oval-shaped white stones in front of me are different in size, I can now all have one thing in common, that is, the stones are carved with some words that we can't read.
"Ancestors bless...... Ancestors bless you......"
On the contrary, it was the old Shibi, who suddenly knelt on the ground after seeing these white stones, kowtowed to the white stones in front of him, and muttered in his mouth to pray for the blessing of his ancestors, even ignoring the injuries on his body.
After Lin Zi blocked the stone gate, he bandaged it briefly for me and Lao Shibi, and after some inquiries about Lao Shibi, we learned the role of these white stones from Lao Shibi's mouth!
It turned out that these white stones contained all the ashes of their ancient Qiang ancestors, and those words were Qiang script, and what was written on them was the identity and name of the deceased in the white stone, so he would kneel and kowtow and pray! As for what's inside that biggest white stone? Old Shibi told us that he didn't know either.
However, after some narration by the old Shibi, I realized that these white stones were not like what we saw in front of us; The inside of the stone is hollow, and although the old Shibi doesn't know what's in the biggest white stone? But judging by the size of the giant white stone, I think it should contain a corpse, after all, it is not necessary to use such a large white stone just to hold the ashes, and the reincarnation flower is very likely to be in the giant white stone.
As for the red fluorescent stones on the walls, we didn't study too much, because the movement of the stone gate was getting bigger and bigger, attracting our attention, and it seemed that these two stones would not be able to stop the beast soon!
There are still a lot of gravel on both sides of the stone gate, which we all moved over and piled up behind the stone gate; As for the white stones containing the ashes of the ancient Qiang people, we will not touch them, after all, it is not a good thing to disturb the peace of the dead!
"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
The impact of the beast became more and more ferocious, and as a last resort, Lin Zi and Lao Shibi had no choice but to carry the stone gate on our shoulders; But this was not the way to go on after all, so I hurriedly scanned the tomb, hoping to find something to use!
But when I looked around the tomb, I noticed a strange phenomenon! The gems that I had thought were set in the wall suddenly moved, and they moved along the wall in the direction we were.
"Damn, what bites me?"
At this moment, the forest next to him screamed and pulled a worm from his neck.
When I looked at it, I saw that the insect looked like an ant, but it was much larger than an ordinary ant, the size of a bottle cap! Moreover, its body is red, its head, thorax, and tail are iron blue, and the red part of its body also emits a red fluorescence!
"This ...... This is the ...... of the green-rumped worm."
When Lao Shibi saw the insect in Lin Zi's hand, he immediately screamed; I knew it wasn't the bugs that it was screaming, but the larger numbers of bugs that were moving towards us along the walls, and it would be silly if I could still think of them as gems set in the walls!
"Quick, go and hide in that white stone!"
After hearing Lao Shibi's words, I instantly remembered what is the origin of this green-waisted worm?
The green-rumped worm, also known as the cryptoptera and shadow worm, is similar to flying ants! Cryptoptera is usually toxic, but it is generally not fatal.
But what we're seeing now is different! Strictly speaking, I'm not sure! Because the reason why I didn't recognize this insect before was because they were several times larger than the kind of cryptoptera commonly seen outside, and they were able to emit this weird red light on their bodies.
At this time, let's not talk about the toxicity in their bodies. The sheer amount of what we see in front of us could kill us hundreds of times! And it is clear that, judging by the trajectory of their movement, they are indeed coming at us!
