Chapter 31: Jade Wall Termites

The faint light illuminated my path, and I could see a lot of messy footprints on the ground.

"Follow these traces, you should be able to find Xiang Ji and them." I thought to myself. "There is still that group of people in front, I don't know if they collided together."

Worried in my heart, my pace couldn't help but speed up a little, and I felt a little abnormal as I walked. Originally, the overall structure of this tomb is bluestone, and it feels cold and cold when you start it, and it is still underground, although I don't know how deep, but the temperature here should not be very high, I am bare-chested, and I feel cold, but now the wall I am holding on to is not cold, but a little warm.

This discovery immediately made me stop, and I took a closer look at the lighter, what it was, and why it was still hot.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you're going to be scared to death when you see it, where is this still the bluestone in front, this is jade.

I still can't believe what I found. "If this small area I see is full of jade walls, what about the front?"

I've been walking this passage for a long time, and I don't want to go back to see it, so I quickly ran forward for more than ten meters, stopping to watch again. Unexpectedly, the wall here is also made of jade, and the size of the jade bricks is the same as that of ordinary bluestone bricks, and I don't know what was used in the middle to build up the jade wall.

Although I don't know about jade, from the perspective of my years in the antique business, the jade here is all good jade. I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run.

The jade bricks here are smooth to the beginning, delicate like a girl's skin, and there is a trace of heat to the touch, wearing it on the body, it is definitely a good thing to warm in winter and cool in summer, it is said that the best jade also has the effect of repelling insects and avoiding evil, and I don't know if it is true.

After feeling the luxury of the tomb owner, I didn't linger too much. It's not that I don't want to get a few jade bricks out, but the reality doesn't allow it. As soon as I didn't have any tools, I only had the mysterious wooden box left on my body except for the lighter in my hand, let alone knocking a few jade bricks down, even if I succeeded in the end, I didn't have anything to load.

"Hey" I sighed as I walked, not to mention how aggrieved I was. "Anyway, the third brother, I am also a master in this industry, and now I have fallen into such a realm, I haven't even arrived at the main tomb, and the equipment on my body has basically fallen off, and even the clothes are not guaranteed."

I walked in front of me, and I didn't bother to observe the jade wall, if I were more serious, I would find that something inside the jade wall was slowly following me. The white one is about the same color as the jade wall, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see it. Although the danger was approaching me, I didn't realize it, and I was still holding on to the jade wall, walking unhurriedly.

The lighter in my hand has been burning for a long time, and this kind of lighter that can burn continuously for more than an hour is really not covered. But although it can last for more than an hour, it will be hot, and my hands are flesh and blood, so I can't stand this temperature.

In desperation, I had to extinguish the fire and wait for it to cool down, but the work under my feet did not stop. Touching the jade wall and continuing to hurry, this time it is all smeared, I can't see anything, for the primitive fear of darkness, I don't have a better way, here I don't dare to roar a few loudly to strengthen my courage, not for anything else, just because of the echo, it is estimated that I screamed, I have to listen to my own enduring echo.

But I'm not always discrediting and moving forward, after a certain distance, I will turn on the lighter and see if there is a fork in the road or something. Luckily, the passage is straight and unobstructed, without the slightest fork in the road and steps. Imagine building such a jade passage, and the manpower and material resources spent can be imagined. If you still want to make decorations such as steps, it will be too much waste of money and waste, in fact, the construction of this ancient tomb is like that.

The only thing I feel safe about now is the heat on my fingers, it makes me feel comfortable and lets me know that I'm not the only one here, but that the temperature.

After walking for a long time, about half an hour or so, I didn't estimate it very accurately, it was absolutely dark, absolutely silent, it made my mind confused, I lost my sense of direction and the concept of time.

After walking for a while, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the sensation coming from my fingers, not as smooth as it had just been. Now it feels uneven, as if there are many small bumps on the jade wall.

I let out a "huh", frowned, and immediately lit the lighter to see what was going on with the strange feeling in my hand.

In the light of the fire, I saw that there were not many small bumps, as I had imagined, but there were many small holes, and the whole wall was densely packed, and it stretched out, and now I am standing here, where the two meet. The jade walls on the upper and lower passages in front of me have those small holes, but behind me are intact jade walls.

"It's such a small hole, I guess only ants can get into it," I thought to myself, feeling more and more weird. "Are there termites here?"

But then I denied my idea that if there were termites here, then I wouldn't be seeing this scene now. I still understand the reason why the embankment collapsed in the anthill, although it seems that only termites can bite these jade, but as the proverb goes, termites eat all these jade, then there will definitely be a butterfly effect, not to mention other places, here will definitely collapse.

But now look at here, where there is a precursor to collapse, it's not good. Although I have scruples, there should have been someone stepping on the 'landmine' in front of me, so I should not be too cautious, just pay attention.

I exhaled a breath of turbidity, focusing on safety, lit the lighter and continued on my way, hoping to find Xiang Ji and Jingxiu soon.

After walking a few steps, he found a faint light at the end of the passage, which was a light and not a fire, "Now there is a light in this ancient tomb, it seems that there is only the portable lamp in Xiang Ji's hand." ”

"Well, that's how it should be." I suddenly became happy, a smile appeared on my face, and I was not cautious, and I ran towards the point of light.

Constantly shouting: "Camera, unlucky girl"

As soon as I shouted, there was a rumbling echo that resounded throughout the passage. It is impossible for the owner of that point of light not to hear it, and even if he doesn't hear my shout, the echo can always be heard. But it still didn't respond, and it followed me on its own.

This discovery diluted my excitement, and my mind suddenly became cautious, and after many inverted battles, I was told that everything that happened in the tomb was inevitable. In other words, everything can be traced to the bottom of the matter, so the current situation is very intriguing.

A person or several people who have been walking in the dark for a long time and suddenly hear a human voice, his first reaction should be to shout, just like I just did. In this way, the two of them have something to rely on, no matter what the final result is, even if they die, there is no one to accompany them on the Huangquan Road.

If he doesn't answer you, then there's only one explanation, and that it's not human, can't understand you, or can't hear you at all.

My cold sweat suddenly flowed, now I don't have any weapons, although the wooden box or a baby, but now it's hard to say if I can save myself, the first three times were passively triggered, and now I can't be sure if I save myself again.

Now I have no turning back, the road behind has been destroyed by the explosion of corpse oil, only by moving forward can you find a way out, the most important thing is that there is your own partner there, or that sentence, if you want to die, you have to have a companion, how boring it is to go on the road alone, from the first time I started fighting, I understood a truth. None of the people who do our job can die well, and they may die here the next moment.

"it, I'm not afraid of anything, I still have fists without weapons, even if my hand is broken, I still have teeth." I thought viciously, and when I was ready to face a zongzi, I strode towards the depths of the passage.

I'm walking, it's walking, neither of them is very fast, but it's going in the opposite direction, and soon I can see its outline.

The first thing I can be sure of is that it is a person, or that it used to be a person, but now I don't know what it is, why do you say that, the reason is simple, it walks without any sound, as if it is floating.

"Is it soft brown?" I wondered, but wasn't sure for sure.

I had no choice but to take a closer look, I was very tacitly in agreement with it about ten meters away, stopped, I looked at it, and it looked at me.

It gave it a very strange feeling, and at first it could not see its face, or even any of its flesh and blood, because they were all wrapped in fabric, and there were no gaps in it.

And I feel that it is soft, as if it has no bone support, it can fall down at any time, twist and turn, if there is really one object to describe it, it is instant noodles.

We looked at each other for a moment, and just when I thought it was going to attack, a funny scene happened, it fell, still backwards, just as I imagined.

I was stunned, I thought there was a bad battle to be fought, but I didn't expect it to fall like this now. My face was full of doubt, and I didn't dare to come closer, trying to see what the hell it was up to.

Just when I was waiting impatiently, and was about to lift my foot closer, it flattened down all at once, yes, it flattened, as if it were made of water, and all at once it was gone.

In its place came a dense mass of small white bugs, swooping down on me like ocean waves.

"Ah, you're not so cheating like you." I screamed, and instead of retreating, I used my amazing potential, rushing at the speed of a 100-meter flyer, and picking up the light source by the way.

Because I saw what they looked like, isn't this a termite, and if they are targeted, I'm finished. The group of termites didn't seem to have come back to their senses, and they didn't expect that someone saw them, and instead of turning around and running, they rushed towards their 'knife edge'.

It was such a small daze that allowed me to gain a critical time, and I ran through the termite colony like a gust of wind, and when they reacted and started to pursue, it seemed a little late.

This is not important, the most important thing is that the small holes in the jade wall also began to appear dense with termites, crawling all over the passage, chasing me behind, no matter how much I run, there are always more termites on the jade wall to join the chasing army.

Run, my only thought is to run, I don't want to be eaten by them, I just have to run faster.
