Chapter Twenty-Five: The Giant Beetle

The beetle looked very much like a scarab, and it looked like a shell, and the shells on their outside were all bronze color, and some jade color, flashing greenish-blue under the light of the flashlight, and all these sand piles were such beetles, only the sound of the shells was heard, and the sand piles had all been removed and spread on the ground.

When Wang Dashan and Abu saw this, they were both shocked and annoyed, and Wang Dashan also scolded: "Damn, this is a nest of insects!" ”

Abu also shouted: "My mother, why are there so many shells! ”

But what kind of shell is that, this kind of beetle is obviously left by the ancient people of Loulan, and I don't know why, it has survived under this sand pile for so long.

The crow was now standing with a sapper shovel in his eyes, and stared blankly at the beetles crawling out of the sand, and beads of sweat the size of beans were constantly dripping from their foreheads, and these beetles seemed to see us standing more sparsely at the moment they crawled out, as if they were discussing how to go that way.

Wang Dashan pulled the crow and immediately ran towards us, no matter what kind of monsters those beetles were, the three of them directly threw the shovel into the beetle pile, and they didn't even care about the tools, they just wanted to get away from those beetles as soon as possible.

Master and I were also looking around, and found that only these beetles were in the sand piles in front, and the left and right sides were relatively safe, so I didn't panic, but I heard the master say, "Don't panic, run to both sides." ”

When Abu and Wang Dashan heard this, they looked at both sides, and they were going to run over to fight with us, but they didn't know that the beetles had already isolated us on both sides, they couldn't get by, we couldn't get by, and besides, the sand pile that Abu and the crow king Dashan shoveled was not a sand pile, Abu was on the right, and the crow and Wang Dashan were on the left.

Fortunately, we have passages on both sides, although I don't know if there are anything else in the passages on both sides, but the burning eyebrows only look at the eyes, that is, there are 10,000 zongzi waiting to eat people inside, so I don't go in, I saw Abu on the right, and directly called the master to run to the right passage, and the crow and Wang Dashan saw that the beetle blocked the way back, and there was no way, nothing, straight to the left passage.

"Old lady, go this way!" I saw that the old lady was closer to me and the master, so I said to her, and the old lady didn't say anything, so she followed closely behind me and the master, and ran to the passage on the right.

When Abu saw us coming, he shouted, "Hurry, hurry! They're coming. "But I saw that Abu was noticeably slower, and that the beetles were so close to him that they were about to catch up with him.

Abu just shouted, "Ahhhhhhh Why are they climbing so fast?"

Only then did I realize that Abu was not slow, but that he had too many things on him, and his speed was not half as fast as ours, and even the old lady was much faster than him, and the master also saw that Abu was running too slowly, and of course he knew the reason, and shouted to Abu: "Lose the bag!" ”

Abu was not happy at the moment, and shouted as he ran, "Lost? It's my life! ”

I really didn't expect this fool to take into account the gold and silver treasures he had obtained in that temple at this time, and I cried out again: "You have so much gold on you, it's no wonder that you are not eaten by worms!" ”

Abu screamed and felt uncomfortable, as if he had figured it out, he wouldn't do anything that had a life to earn or not to spend, although he didn't want to lose it, but behind it were all insects that wanted to eat people, and he didn't care about anything.

Abu didn't reply to me, but just threw his backpack and smashed it on the beetle behind him, and his trouser pockets and the pockets of his clothes were full of gold, and he grabbed the gold one by one and threw it on the ground, and as he ran, he still sprinkled the gold on the ground and fell to the ground, and then he heard some of the unfinished gold on his body clattering and banging on his body.

"That's right!" I shouted to him again, and his speed also increased, and he quickly left the pile of beetles behind, but at this time we were far away from Wang Dashan and the crows, Zhang Yuntian and Qianyu because they were closer to the passage on the left, and they also followed Wang Dashan and them into the passage on the left, and when I looked back, I couldn't see them for a long time, and it seemed that they had already entered the passage before us.

And these beetles behind us suddenly reminded me of the scarab beetles of ancient Egypt, Egypt even used the scarab beetle as a totem, and when the pharaoh died, the pharaoh's heart would be taken out and replaced with a stone decorated with a scarab beetle in place of the heart.

And this Loulan was precisely in the Western Regions in ancient times, maybe the king of Loulan used these beetles to have some special effect, looking at the huge mound, maybe there was someone buried underneath.

In the past, the Xiongnu and the ancient country of Loulan were in contact, and there were many envoys who came and went, although there was no special historical explanation, but there were always some special cultures introduced to the middle of this exchange, and the Western Regions was no exception.

Of course, it is certain that this beetle is not the totem of Loulan, their totem is the sun and the phoenix, the phoenix is the ancestor of the birds, and the peacock is born from the phoenix, which shows the relationship between these two.

Without further ado, we are now waiting for Abu in front of the passage, and after Abu threw away all the gold and silver treasures, he ran in front of us in a short time, and the master stood in front with a halberd, letting Abu come in first, and then swept away the beetles that were surging madly behind.

But these beetles don't seem to be finished, they are still crawling out of the sand in the middle of the tomb, and more and more, seeing that the passage in front of them is pitch black again, if they get to this passage, and these beetles follow them, I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to save them.

But only the front is the way to live, and the back can only become a meal for these beetles, and it is no wonder that the color of this beetle is so bright and not poisonous.

When I looked back, a relatively large beetle was almost approaching the passage, and I saw that there were two antennae on the top of its head, almost as long as its body, and its size was clearly visible at this time, at least fifty or sixty centimeters, but there were two mouths and jaws at the corners of its mouth.

Abu didn't care about anything, just drilled into the passage, the old lady had already entered the passage, I was still looking at the huge beetle outside, it seemed that it was the leader of this group of beetles, the master was also a little panicked at this time, and he was there to tell me to run into the passage, and I came back to my senses.

But when I just ran into the passage, the largest beetle at the front had already crawled onto the feet of the master.
