Chapter Fifty-Eight: Stone Figurines
This is a huge karst cave with good air circulation, and when you calm down, you can feel that there is a wind blowing from afar.
Traces of artificial excavation can be found in the cave, and the stone figurines in the distance are the best proof.
Near the underground river, there were all black and smooth boulders, and after a while, the ground leveled out, and plants began to appear, first some mosses, and then ferns that resembled prehistoric ferns, which were visibly gigantic, and a tendril was the thickness of a human arm.
There are also moss-like plants that glow with specks of light, which is the source of light in the cavern.
Such an environment is obviously not what should exist on earth.
A clear trail of giant beast activity led from the fern-infested ground to the depths of the cave, and it was obvious that the overlord salamander and his family might have crawled out of it.
However, at this time, there were no animals or insects in this cave.
Everything is silent.
Finally, the four of them came to the front of the stone figurines.
Wang Chao didn't pay attention to this stone figurine at all, because in his perception, this thing was a dead thing at all, just a stone!
But Yi Xiaochuan stopped, because Liu Genwang had whispered to him: There are dead souls roaring in some stone figurines......
This is what Lao Liu kept for the big guy!
He knew that the big guy had been eating ghosts, and the souls in this stone figurine were also ghosts, although they were certainly not as nutritious as ghosts.
But after all, it's still a ghost.
Big guy, this is the contemporary Zhong Kui!
"What's wrong? Is there anything unusual about this thing? Isn't it a stone sculpture left behind by the man who dug this cave?"
Wang Chao also stopped, puzzled, in fact, his nerves are still quite big.
"Brother Chao, do you read novels?"
"Look! I've watched "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" several times. β
"Do you see the tomb robber?"
"What's there to see about that thing, I only look at the hot-blooded martial arts ......"
"There is a description of this thing in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". β
"What? So the author has been here?"
"......" Xiao Yi and Lao Liu and his wife both ignored him anymore.
I saw that these stone figurines all turned their hands behind their backs, posing in a tied posture, due to the damp and cold environment of the cave environment, the surface of the stone figurines has been gray-brown, the outline of the facial features is completely blurred, it seems to be covered with a layer of "quinone" on the surface, which is a mildew substance produced by the rock in a special environment, non-toxic.
In terms of appearance, it is basically impossible to identify the male and female appearance of the stone figurines, only from the point of view of the figure, there are tall and short, fat and thin, it seems that in addition to the prime of life, there are some teenagers who have not yet grown up, and they are not shaped according to the uniform standard of the system.
However, instead of the green copper chains hanging from the cave, the figurines stand or kneel in the cave full of ferns.
"Then what is this?" Wang Chao tapped with his fingers, his voice was a little muffled, it seemed to be hollow, but the shell was very hard.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's called a stump in the novel! an ancient, evil, and notorious art in southern Yunnan!"
"But we are in southern Anhui, in Jiangcheng, and it is very far away from southern Yunnan. What's inside? It's like a hollow ......."
Wang Chao's fingers were suddenly forced, and the head of the stone figurine was completely shattered, indeed there was only a layer of stone shell outside, and the middle was all empty, and the inside was densely packed with white insect eggs, and people with dense phobia were absolutely disgusted to vomit.
"Can anyone explain? Also, what about these bugs?" Wang Chao swallowed, and then took a few steps away, really disgusting.
Lao Liu didn't know when he lit the dry smoke, took a deep breath, and then spewed a puff of smoke at the insect egg, and immediately saw that the white insect that was gradually reviving and wriggling in the air quickly turned black and rotten.
γAbsorb a little energy......γ
Sure enough, you can get a lot of energy points under the dungeon!
Xiao Yi looked around, eighteen stone figurines!
As you can see, the figurine's skin is tough, but it has only a thin shell, and it is full of rotting dead maggots and eggs. This evil art is known as the three major evil arts in Southeast Asia, along with Gu art and head lowering ......"
Wang Chao looked at the other stone figurines and said, "Gu art is not an evil art, right! There are a few people in the organization who have awakened this kind of ability......
"If you use it rightly, you will be right, and if you use it evilly, you will be evil. However, this is definitely an evil technique, and the person who has been subjected to the hemorrhoidal technique will reproduce a large number of eggs in his body, which only takes about three to five days, and the eggs are laid more and more, and the flesh and blood and internal organs in the human body have all become the nutrients of the larvae, and they are filled in instead. Because it loses moisture quickly in a short period of time, human skin will quickly dry up, as hard as the bark and stone shell of a tree. In the shell formed by the human corpse, when the eggs suck up all the juice and bone marrow in the human body, a vacuum environment will be formed, and the eggs will not become adults without seeing air, and they will always maintain a state of hibernation. In a cool environment, it can be maintained for thousands of years, do you say evil or not?"
"It's cruel enough, so what are you doing here? There's got to be a reason!"
"Only the devil knows ......"
Liu Zhangshi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
And the distorted soul sealed in this is completely unable to communicate, only the perverted insect nature, parasitism and reproduction......
The soul has been completely united with the worm egg in countless years of sealing.
Yi Xiaochuan smashed these stone figurines one by one, but nearly half of them have completely decayed, becoming a handful of loess, and only seven stone figurines have insect eggs that have survived for endless years.
From ancient times to the revival of Reiki today.
No matter what, it's still quite fun to harvest seven points of energy.
After cleaning up all the stone figurines, Wang Chao seemed to remember something, and asked, "This thing should be a kind of Gu, right? If you give it to those brothers who have awakened the Gu technique, can it be cultivated? I seem to have seen some bugs mutating just now, wouldn't it be a pity to kill them like this?"
"......" Yi Xiaochuan was silent for a moment, although there is not much energy at all, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!
"Kill all of them, don't think about it so much! And who knows if there is a virus, we awakened people have no effect, ordinary people can say for sure, if it causes Resident Evil, we are sinners. Besides, we are exploring the unknown world behind the cave, and we can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons......"
"Okay! Let's continue, inside we had gone about five hundred meters or so before, and retreated due to a sudden change in a few fighters. This time we don't want to gain much, safety is the most important thing, and I will still open the way......"
Yi Xiaochuan smiled at Lao Liu and his wife, and then nodded.
It's really good to have this kind of little brother!
