Chapter 118: Horseshoe Crab
As soon as I approached the sarcophagus, I felt a cold and cold aura rushing over my face, and I couldn't help but shiver twice.
Before, this sarcophagus was covered with a coffin lid, and I didn't feel anything abnormal.
But as soon as I put my head into this sarcophagus, it was as if my head had been stuck in the freezer of the refrigerator, and it was cold from the bottom of my feet.
There was blood in this sarcophagus.
How could there be so much blood in this sarcophagus? It looked like a huge fish tank, but instead of water, the liquid flowing in it was bright red, with a glare of blood.
"This ...... How could there be so much blood! I looked at him in a daze.
There's something wrong with that.
When the thousand-year-old zombie jumped out before, its body was dry, if there was blood in this sarcophagus, it couldn't be that it was still dry, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously from my heart.
However, at this moment, the blood in the entire sarcophagus suddenly boiled, like boiling water.
"Stand back!" When he saw this, he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me back two steps.
Although my movements were fast, I was still hit by the heatwave, and my face suddenly hurt hotly, and I felt that my whole face was going to be cooked.
I was so frightened that I touched my face with my hand and felt several small blisters.
Damn, if it hadn't been for the quick reaction of the master to pull me away just now, I guess I wouldn't have been able to have this face.
It took less than half a second to get a few blisters from this heatwave, and if it was a little later, I really couldn't imagine what would have happened.
"Master, this blood water ......"
"Something's coming out!"
I was about to ask Ye why this blood water suddenly boiled, but Ye quickly interrupted my words, staring at the tumbling blood water vigilantly.
Something else?
I gasped, this was endless. Just killed a thousand-year-old zombie, why is there another one?
"It's not a zombie this time!" Seeing me standing nervously, he couldn't help but turn his head and say to me.
"Not a zombie?" I was stunned.
"Hmm!" Ye nodded, "Perhaps, this is the real guardian of this tomb." ”
Guardians?
These three words are not a good thing when you hear them.
Many tombs will have guardians, or guardian spirits. They exist to protect the tomb from the tomb robbers, and to protect the undead.
My expression froze, and I kept swallowing my spit, wondering what the Guardian was about to appear.
Suddenly, a frightened sound quickly spread all around.
The next thing I saw was something that my doctor couldn't forget.
An overwhelming mass of small insects flew out of the bloody water.
These little insects look a bit like flying ants, only the size of flying ants, but their two wings are extremely large, and they are more than ten centimeters open.
Obviously only 2 centimeters of body has such a big pair of wings, it looks very awkward.
What's even more terrifying is that the flying ant has a blood-red eye on its wings, which is as red as the blood.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, took the Soul Slaying Sword in my hand, and looked at the group of flying ants hovering in the air in shock.
There are human eyes on the wings, what the hell is this?
"I don't know!" Ye shook his head, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
I don't know?
"Then they won't attack us, will they?" I felt a little uneasy.
Not to mention whether these things attack us or not, they hovering densely over our heads can crush us visually.
For the unknown, people are afraid of the unknown, which has nothing to do with fear, it is caused by human nature.
My father and I didn't move, and the group of flying ants seemed to not see us, just hovering in the sky, unwilling to leave.
As if in an instant, we seem to have entered a world where there are only flying ants, overwhelming the sky with flying ants, and everywhere the eye can see, there are only flying ants.
Every day, the black-pressed flying ants fly unscrupulously, fluttering and flapping their wings.
There are so many flying ants flying in the sky, and the sound they make when their wings stir up should be very loud, similar to that of a helicopter.
But I couldn't hear a single sound, as if they had mufflers on their wings.
Suddenly, a flying ant slammed into me.
My eyes were bloodshot, and I didn't feel the imminent attack of flying ants.
I was really dumbfounded, thinking about why this group of flying ants fanned their wings and there was no sound, and I forgot to dodge even the attack on me.
At the last moment, the master waved the bronze sword in his hand violently.
"Zizi ......"
This flying ant was directly seen in two by the sword of the master from the air, and fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound.
Its corpse seemed to have been burned by a large group, emitting white smoke, and was quickly burned to ashes.
This...... This flying ant can catch fire on its own?
I turned my head to look at me in shock.
"Even this kind of thing came out!" When the master saw this scene, he snorted coldly, with a thick surprise in his voice.
"Master, do you see what this is?" I swallowed, my hands holding the Soul Slayer sweating.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ghost of the undertaker!" Ye's voice was full of anger and extremely cold.
The soul of the mourner?
I paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered what I said in "The Twelve Brocades of the Heavenly Destiny Master".
It is recorded in the book that after death, ordinary people may become various animals, most commonly moths or snakes.
These relatives were too concerned about their children and grandchildren to leave, so they turned into moths and flew to visit their families.
Therefore, if you see a moth or snake entering the house within two or three days after the death of a loved one, you can't fight it.
All you need to do is burn some paper money and incense in the room of the deceased loved one, and the moth or snake will leave on its own.
If the master said that this group of flying ants is really the soul of the undertaker, then we will be in real trouble.
According to the book, in ancient times, in order to prevent tomb robbers from entering their tombs, the owners of ancient tombs would do everything possible to stop tomb robbers.
There is a method called hou, and the process of making this horseshoe crab is so vicious that it is almost mad.
When people are alive, they starve for three days and three nights, let them eat and drink when their spirits are about to collapse, and then they are poured into a small room, which is airtight and has no light, and then they are put into it and slowly torture their spirits, and when they are close to collapse, they are released to run wildly.
And so on and so on for a month.
The purpose of this is to make them mentally break down and make people into a nervous disorder.
Because some people say that the soul of a nervous disorder is the purest and most unpolluted, and the horseshoe crab made of such a soul is even more fierce.
Then he gave this person a small hammer and an iron nail, and used the inducement to make them hit the nail on the heavenly spirit cover, of course, all this was watched, and they would definitely not die.
Then someone tied the man's hair with a red rope (the red rope must have been rubbed little by little by the hands of an unemployed maiden), and after the man was hung by the hair, he was induced to pour mercury himself through the small hole in the top of his head.
The mercury is heavy and sinks down, and the man is hoisted again, and when enough mercury is poured in, the man dies, and when he dies, his whole human skin is automatically stripped of his body.
The skin of this man was peeled off and used to make a dragon, and the mage asked the mage to put the soul of this person into the dragon, and after refining it by secret method for 7749 days, a corpse horseshoe crab would be born in this dragon.
To put it bluntly, it is to make a person into a worm alive and use it to guard the tomb.
However, the appearance of this corpse horseshoe crab is not recorded in "The Twelve Brocades of the Heavenly Fate Master", because Ma Liang's master has not seen it.
Looking at the flying ants flying all over the sky, coupled with the words of the master, eight or nine are not far from ten, and these flying ants hovering above our heads should be the legendary corpse horseshoe crab.
There is a sentence in the book about the horseshoe crab that describes it like this...... "One horseshoe crab is enough to settle the grave!" ”
What does this mean?
It represents a horseshoe crab that can make tomb robbers go and never return.
But now there are not thousands of corpse horseshoe crabs flying in the sky, but hundreds, right?
Could it be that we are really going to die today......
