Master Cao watched my movements, and he quickly took out a sanitary napkin from his backpack and lit it and threw it into the air.

These flying insects are really afraid of fire, and in order to avoid the "fire burning sanitary napkins" we throw, the speed has been slowed down a lot, buying time for Gao Zheng and them.

When Gao Zheng ran into the ice cave, I lit all the sanitary napkins and threw them at the entrance of the ice cave.

The sanitary napkins would emit thick black smoke when they burned, and the flying insects were so smoked that they could barely enter the ice cave, but a few of them still rushed in.

Gao Zheng was unambiguous, put Professor Chen on the ground and leaned against the ice wall, then took out the pickaxe from his backpack and swung it fiercely in the air a few times.

The flying insects that flew in were actually crushed to death by him with a pickaxe, which made me stunned.

"Xiao Gao, you've practiced more or less..."Master Cao couldn't help but say.

Gao Zheng just chuckled, then picked Professor Chen up again, and we continued to walk deeper into the ice cave.

Strange to say, it stands to reason that if we burned those sanitary napkins, the black smoke should drift in, and we must be able to smell the smell of the bathroom being burned. But in this ice cave, instead of smelling the stench, I smelled an indescribable aroma.

It's a bit like the smell of some kind of memorial incense that I smelled in a rural ancestral hall when I was a child.

And the ice cave felt a lot warmer, just like the contrast of suddenly walking out of the snow into an air-conditioned room.

Something was wrong with this ice cave, so I couldn't help but look at Master Cao, only to find that he was standing next to the ice wall, shining a flashlight on the ice wall.

I leaned over to him and said, "Mr. Cao, what are you looking at?" ”

Because of Professor Chen, I had to call Master Cao a teacher.

"You look at the ice wall, there are a lot of small bugs."

Following Master Cao's gaze, I did see a lot of black dots the size of sesame seeds, and when I shone from the side with a flashlight, I could clearly see that these black dots were actually small insects.

Takamasa was also attracted by our actions, and he took out a magnifying glass from his jacket pocket and observed it inside the ice wall as we did.

He just looked at it for a few seconds, his face changed instantly, and he stepped back a few words in horror: "This, this, this...... Get back of your way, be careful! ”

"What's wrong? These insects are freezing in the ice wall, what are you worried about? I couldn't help but ask.

Gao Zheng waved his hand, as if shocked by his own discovery, and was speechless for a long time, but handed me the magnifying glass in his hand and motioned for me to look at it myself.

I took the magnifying glass, stuck it on the ice wall and looked at it carefully, and I instantly knew why Gao Zheng was frightened.

The little black insects on the ice wall are miniature versions of the flying insects that fly out of the stone figurines outside, and they are still in the larval stage.

"Strange, why are these ice walls full of those bug larvae?" I handed the magnifying glass to Master Cao again.

These bug larvae are as small as mosquito larvae, and it's hard to imagine how they grow to the size of a fist.

This kind of difference between the larvae and the adult stage is hundreds of times, and it is reasonable to say that it cannot appear in insects.

After seeing the larvae in these ice walls, Master Cao couldn't help but shudder: "Could it be that this ice cave is full of these larvae, then isn't this innermost insect nest?" ”

As soon as Master Cao said this, Gao Zheng's face turned pale: "No wonder those flying insects chased us desperately when we were about to come in just now, it turned out that they were afraid that we would take their nests!" ”

Gao Zheng and I almost always thought about it, and subconsciously wanted to retreat outside, but when I thought that the outside was full of adults, my legs and stomach became weak.

At this time, Professor Chen, who was already in a semi-comatose state, coughed a few times and stood up with great difficulty.

"It's nonsense, this can't be a hive..... According to my judgment, the flying insects in those stone figurines must have been found in these ice walls by the people who made them, broke the ice walls and dug out the larvae from them, and then raised them in the stone figurines as human beings. ”

After Professor Chen finished speaking, he looked at the larvae in the ice wall and continued: "These insects can be frozen in the ice wall and still survive for a hundred or even thousands of years, so they must have very tenacious vitality...... The people who made those stone figurines must have wanted all the people who came here in the future to die in this tomb. ”

When I heard Professor Chen mention the ancient tomb, I felt a "chuckle" in my heart, how did he know that there was a tomb here?

But then I thought of the tomb kui I met earlier, although Professor Chen is not a native master, but the tomb kui is not only known to tomb thieves. Presumably, he also studied the tomb leader, and after seeing the tomb leader, he judged that this was an ancient tomb, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After Professor Chen finished speaking, he leaned weakly against the ice wall and said, "Go inside, there won't be any big problems inside.....

Master Cao also nodded: "Listen to Professor Chen." ”

We cautiously continued inside, and along the way I saw the frozen larvae on the ice wall, and my scalp still tingled.

Who is this tomb owner who would keep these larvae in captivity in such a vicious way as a stone pit?

Although Qin Shi Huang is also a tyrant, at least the terracotta warriors and horses made are in good order, and there is a human bone in the body of the thousands of stone figurines here, where did the tomb owner find these thousands of people, and let them be willingly sealed in the body of the stone figurines, let be eaten by larvae?

The deeper I walked into the ice cave, the stronger the fragrance in the air became, and I felt a little dizzy and drowsy when I smelled too much.

Generally speaking, poison gas can't be incense, so we didn't cover our mouths and noses, worrying about whether the fragrance was poisonous or not.

As I walked, my eyes suddenly went dark, and I was instantly startled, and I shouted, "The flashlight is out of power? ”

The atmosphere was also silent for a second, and Master Cao pulled my arm with his hand: "There is electricity, ....."

I made a questioning voice, and before Master Cao could speak again, Zhao Miao also shouted in panic: "I can't see it either!" ”

At this time, I reacted instantly, it seemed that it was not that the flashlight was dead, but that Zhao Miao and I lost our vision at the same time!
