Chapter 168: Open the Tomb Door
At that time, it was Li Zhuang who fainted one step ahead of the qin girl, and the qin girl knew that Li Zhuang was as careful as a hair, and had the ability to help me take off the insects on my body. That's why at that time, he stopped Cui Hao from impulsively helping me pull out the worm directly.
It's just a pity that she fainted in the end, and before she passed out, she saw me wake up and wanted to explain the cause and effect to me, but time didn't have time, and she also passed out because of force majeure.
It's just that before she fainted, she knew in her heart that Li Zhuang would definitely find a way to find the problems on our bodies, and successfully helped us remove the insects on our bodies, so she fainted with confidence.
It's just that Qin Nu didn't expect that Li Ba actually had such an ability to help us take off the worms on our bodies, and we woke up a few minutes earlier than she expected.
After several of us rescued us, the bugs were finally removed from our bodies and successfully restored to their original state.
After the rest of our lives, we were finally able to gather together more, and when we saw the insects on the ground, we trampled them all down.
After making sure that all the bugs were dead, we breathed a sigh of relief and stayed back in the tomb for a while before recovering again.
And just as we stayed in the room to rest, the four guys in the corner suddenly straightened up, looking at us with a little indifference in their eyes.
"Why, why?"
Their voices were cold and came from all sides, enveloping us and closing the distance between us, and their mouths were filled with questions as if we had sabotaged their plans.
I was stunned, and when I looked at their faces again, I noticed that all the faces of these guys had changed.
Li Ba also exclaimed when he saw them, and immediately took a few steps back.
"Uncle Li, how did you become like this?"
This Uncle Li is his housekeeper, and I saw that Uncle Li's muscles were bulging all over his body at this time, and his eyes were staring coldly at our position.
The moment I saw him like this, I suddenly realized that this guy must also have those parasites attached to his body. I hurriedly said my guess, and Li Ba immediately became energetic.
"That means that we can get rid of the parasites on him, and maybe my Uncle Li can return to normal."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the piano girl shook her head at us.
"No, their bodies have been sucked dry. I didn't see that something was wrong with them just now, but now I can see that they do have a problem. If it were these facial bugs, then their bodies should have been sucked dry a long time ago, and even their faces could switch and change freely, which is enough to prove this. ”
The moment I heard this, I was immediately stunned.
Actually, I've heard the name of this bug, but when I first encountered these bugs, I didn't associate these black insects with human face worms.
Isn't this just a legendary thing? I never thought that they would actually exist around me, and even show the same appearance as they just looked.
The so-called human-faced worm can actually be regarded as a continuation of a method of immortality, or a special method of evil. Among the special evil arts in ancient times, there is a way to make people live for a long time, and that is to use human face worms.
After a special concoction, the human face worm will store the memories and face of the living person in this bug, and then these bugs will be sent to the cold underground and stored underground for a long time.
Because of their small bodies and the single way to absorb nutrients, these insects can live for a long time like pines and cypresses, enough to survive for tens of millions of years without necessarily dying.
Because they have survived long enough, when the descendants come back, these insects will inhabit these people in their special way with parasitic abilities. At the same time, it will change the physical appearance of these people, so that they will be exactly the same as the original owner, and even inherit the thoughts and ideas of that person.
But I never thought that the human face worm stays on the human body in such a parasitic way, using its long tentacles to penetrate the human body and act as a medium for his substitute.
Now that I think about it the other way, I find that this thing is indeed exactly the same as the legend, and if this thing can be switched at will, it means that it is completely parasitic.
Moreover, the original thoughts in the body of the parasitic host will also be completely refined, knowing that it is mixed with the thoughts of the parasite, and then the memory will be confused, and it will be difficult for the person to have his own clear consciousness and thoughts.
It will turn into a hybrid of two personalities, and the mix will be seamless, and even the face can be switched at will, except that this person is no longer really alive.
I shook my head, thankfully I had just taken the bugs down in time, otherwise we might all be like this by now.
At this time, the four monsters came to our side again, but they were all a little cautious when facing us. Obviously, they all knew that a few of us were very capable, and we had just stepped on a few insects on the ground, so when they looked at us, they naturally had a little fear.
Finally the four of them rushed to our side, and suddenly all of them poured out of their bodies with slender tentacles, and they slammed towards us like whips.
"Insect carving skills."
The piano girl sneered, threw out a few strings, and entangled with it. She could manipulate dozens of strings by herself, and she was barely able to cope with it until it turned into a one-sided suppression.
The tentacles couldn't resist the nimble strings of the piano girl, and in the end they were all defeated, scattered and fled, and then disappeared after four escapes.
I don't know where these guys are hiding, but since I promised Li Ba that I would follow him to retrieve the jade pendant, then I won't break my promise.
After the two of us took the jade pendant, we quickly came to the side of the stone gate, and several of them also stayed on the left and right of the stone gate, carefully observing the surface of the stone gate with us.
This time, a few of us don't dare to act rashly, so as to avoid touching the mechanism above again, and there will be another accident.
Fortunately, after some scrutiny, I finally found a trace of blood in the lower right corner of the stone gate. It is obvious that the traces left by the living should be the marks of their hands that they inadvertently imprinted here when they opened the stone door.
"The way to open the door should be here."
I winked at them, and immediately followed them to reach for the corner of the door panel, ready to open it.
After a few more researches, we realized that in the lower right corner of this stone slab, there was a groove there, and there was a snap mechanism in it. As soon as something pushes up against this mechanism, the stone gate will be opened.
When I actually found this groove, most of them would touch the door panel, and there were countless small mechanisms on the door panel, and when I looked closely, I realized that there were many touch buttons on it.
If you accidentally touch any of them, you will directly touch the mechanism on the door, and smoke or other objects will come out, causing you to fall unconscious.
And in addition to that, in the corner of the stone door of the room, there was a hole the size of a fist, just enough to pass through those strange human face worms.
Presumably, after we passed out of our coma, the worms came out of this hole and immediately attacked us.
After figuring out their cause, I immediately glanced at a few people, and then they followed me to find some slabs and stones from the corner, and directly blocked the hole.
In any case, these things must not be allowed to come out and harm people again, otherwise they will definitely parasitize on other people's bodies. Although according to legend, these things are afraid of the sun, so it is absolutely impossible for them to return to live on land.
But if a parasite were to escape from the ground to the surface, it would inevitably cause a stir.
Once we've done everything, we flip the switch. The door in front of him was opened, revealing another burial chamber in the back.
A few of us breathed a sigh of relief, but none of us expected that the moment the stone door was opened, there was a sudden explosion of shouting from the tomb.
"Who are you?"
It was so dark in front of us that I couldn't see where the person was making the sound was, but the next second I felt a strong wind coming towards me.
I immediately threw myself backwards, and at the same time knocked down several people behind me, who fell to the ground with me, and only then did I dodge the oncoming hidden weapon.
I then got up from the ground, quickly took out the Shang Fang sword, and then pushed the flashlight and pointed it forward, looking into the depths of the tomb.
At this time, the hollow was empty, and there was no one at the location where the secret weapon was sent to us just now, and we used a flashlight to search the entire chamber of the tomb, but found nothing.
It was as if everything was our illusion, but when I turned around, I saw a silver needle stuck horizontally on the ground, the length of a finger of mine, about the thickness of chopsticks, and there was a black gas on the surface, which was obviously poisoned.
If I hadn't dodged fast just now, when this silver needle pierced into the bodies of several of us, we would all be finished.
