Chapter 131: Brain Eater

The soldier's screams attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him in pain, listened to his screams, and didn't know what was going on with him. The soldier started with his hands on his ankles, then slowly moved his hands upwards as if something was moving up his ankles.

In a few seconds, the soldier's hands moved up from his ankles to his throat, and then Chen Ziyang saw a scene that made him unbelievable, only to see that the soldier actually put his right hand into his mouth, as if he was about to pull something out of his mouth.

But the soldier's hands were too big. He couldn't put his whole hand in, his thumb and little finger were stuck outside his lips, but the soldier continued to stretch his hand into his mouth as if he didn't know the pain, Chen Ziyang saw that his thumb and little finger were bent outward as his whole hand went deeper, obviously this person reached out too hard, and actually broke his thumb and little finger.

The soldier pressed his left hand on top of his head, pressing his head down, while his right hand continued to reach into his mouth, the corners of his mouth had been torn open, and blood flowed down the cracked corners of his mouth. Immediately afterward, the soldier's eyes widened, his whole body convulsed, and he kept his hand in his mouth, and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing unconscious.

Seeing this soldier's posture, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered that in the village above the tomb, among the corpses of those members of Zhang Tianhao's scientific expedition team, there was a corpse whose posture seemed to be exactly the same as the soldier's current posture, and he also put his hand into his mouth, is it a coincidence?

Before anyone else could go over to check on the soldier, another soldier let out a scream. All the people were so frightened that they stood still and didn't know what had happened to them, and the second soldier also covered his body with his hands, but the place he covered was different from the first soldier, he put his hands behind his back, and moved them up little by little, until he covered his hands on the left and right sides of his head, and then the soldier screamed, his eyes moved from side to side, as if he was looking for something.

After that, he saw the golden horn copper coffin on the side, so he rushed over desperately, pressing his head with both hands and slamming into the corner of the coffin of the golden horn copper coffin. His actions made everyone even more confused, did he want to commit suicide?

The soldier slammed his head into the corner of the coffin three times in a row, blood flowed from his forehead, and his whole face was covered in blood. Then the soldier straightened up, shouted, and once again slammed his head into the corner of the coffin, this time with such force that it completely shattered his skull, and red blood and white brains splattered out, staining the yellow bronze coffin red and white. Then, the soldier's body slowly collapsed.

Looking at the soldier's smashed Tianling Gai'er, Chen Ziyang once again remembered that there was a member of the scientific expedition team before, and there was such a big hole in the head of his corpse, could it be that he also hit it himself? What was the reason for such an abnormal behavior of these two soldiers, could it be that when the members of the previous scientific expedition team were brought here, they were all alive, and they died after suffering the same experience as these two soldiers.

At this moment, Chen Ziyang saw a black beetle the size of a ping-pong ball, crawling out of the soldier's broken head, still stained with the soldier's brain and blood.

The beetle's head was pointed, in the shape of a pointed triangle, with jagged teeth on both sides, and its entire body was spherical, black at first glance, but it was actually a dark blue color when you looked closely. Several long, thin legs dragged its bulky body and crawled to the side.

Thinking back to the performance of the two soldiers just now, he looked carefully at the shape of the beetle. Chen Ziyang knew what this bug was, and he also knew why the two soldiers before had such a weird behavior, and it was all because of this bug.

"Brain-eating worms! This is a brain-eating worm, everyone be careful, don't let it touch your body! Chen Ziyang hurriedly warned the members of the scientific expedition team.

In fact, Chen Ziyang had never seen this kind of insect before, but he always felt that the scene of the death of these two soldiers seemed familiar, so he recalled a record in the "Civil Engineering Collection", when a Yuling wrestler found an ancient tomb and gathered eighty-seven companions to rob the tomb, only to encounter a large number of this brain-eating insect outside the tomb door.

Eighty-seven people lost most of their efforts with a stick of incense, and in the end only three escaped alive, and the rest were all folded in the tomb, and later one of these three people, that is, the Yuling Lux who discovered the tomb, was lucky enough to get the "Civil Engineering Collection", and recorded in detail the shape of the insect and the way it attacked people, as well as the performance of people after being attacked by insects.

What kind of insect did the brain-eating insect evolve from, Chen Ziyang didn't know, and he didn't know if the scientific name of this insect was really called this name, the name of the brain-eating insect was given by that Yuling Lux, but this kind of insect likes to eat human brains the most, for sure.

If the brain-eating worm touches the human body, it will use its pointed head to burrow under the human skin, then crawl along the skin to the human brain, and finally burrow into the human brain from the roof of the human mouth and begin to suck the cerebral marrow. That's why the first soldier would hold his ankles all the way up until he covered his head, and the bug must have gotten through his ankle and crawled all the way into his head.

But looking at the movements of the second soldier, the bug should have gotten into his back, and why? Could it be that this worm fell from the top of the tomb? Chen Ziyang suddenly thought of this possibility, and looked up at the top of the tomb.

The top of the burial chamber was occupied by a large amount of smoke from the gas cutter's reaction with the brass because of the previous melt of the golden horn copper coffin by the gas cutter. At this time, after a long time, the smoke dissipated a lot, and Chen Ziyang saw that he didn't know when it started, and there were a lot of brain-eating insects on the roof of this tomb.

Although it is difficult to see clearly through a layer of smoke, the black shells of these insects will still be faintly revealed when they move under the smoke. Before he had time to think about where these brain-eating worms came from, Chen Ziyang hurriedly reminded everyone to pay attention to the top of their heads, and then took a few steps over, trying to trample the worm that came out of the second soldier's head to death.
