Chapter 73: Corpse Cockroach

The place where the jar rolled down happened to be at Huizhen's feet, and he inadvertently kicked it with his foot, and suddenly there was a sound of the bottle breaking, which startled us.

Hui Zhen hurriedly jumped away, opened his eyes and looked down, the terracotta figurine jar may have been very fragile because it had existed for too long, and it directly split into several pieces, oozing out a puddle of black liquid that emitted a foul smell, which was particularly unpleasant.

"What's the problem?"

Hui Zhen immediately covered her nose, pulled me back a distance, frowned, and said, "Why does it smell like a corpse?" ”

I glanced at it nervously, and said calmly, "This thing should be corpse water, fat man, let's stay away from it." ”

Hui Zhen was just about to agree, but at this time, the corpse liquid in the jar had almost leaked, and a crumpled thing was revealed under the blackened corpse fluid, which attracted Hui Zhen's attention.

He found a wooden stick, carefully rummaged under the corpse liquid, and after a while, he picked up a yellowed human skin with the wooden stick, held it directly in the air, and exclaimed,

"This skin must have been peeled from a living person, and it is still intact."

I looked closely, but no.

The human skin is hollow, and there is black hair stuck to it, which is supposed to have chopped off the head of a living person and forcibly stuffed into this terracotta figurine, after hundreds of years, the flesh and bones inside have been corrupted, and only the human skin and hair remain.

"Fatty, throw it away, it's disgusting!"

I couldn't stop a chill and asked Huizhen to quickly throw away this human skin.

Hui Zhen immediately complied, stood up and said, "I thought there might be something good in the jar, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting, it is estimated that it is a funeral object used by the ancients to sacrifice, these guys are really cruel." ”

Hui Zhen said as he clasped his hands together and silently recited Amitabha.

But just as he was chanting the sutra on the human skin, I suddenly noticed that the corners of the human skin's mouth moved strangely, as if something was covered underneath and was crawling strangely.

"Something is wrong with this thing!"

My eyelids jumped, and I quickly pulled away from Hui Zhen, intending to leave here, but Hui Zhen asked me with a puzzled look What was wrong?

I didn't look calm, pointed to the crumpled human skin and said, "Just now...... It seemed to move. ”

"Are you mistaken, how can human skin move on its own?"

Hui Zhen was stunned, lowered her head in confusion, and looked at the human skin with me.

He soon confirmed my claim, that the human skin was indeed slowly wriggling, as if something was about to crawl out underneath.

"Damn!"

I was so shocked that I couldn't help but burst out at the same time, and took two steps back in unison.

Then there was a soft "pop" sound under the human skin, and the skin under the eye socket was held up by something, forming a bulging dot that slowly squirmed to the position of the black eye socket.

It didn't take long for a worm the size of a fingernail emerged from the eye sockets of the human skin oozing corpse fluid, with an oval back crawling with small gray spots, covered with a carapace, the shell was hard, spread out like wings, and made a "buzzing" vibration sound.

Huizhen and I opened our mouths wide at the same time, and before we could figure out what this thing was, it suddenly jumped up from the human skin, spread its wings and buzzed and circled, and then revealed a pair of small eyes like mung beans, which fixed on my and Huizhen's faces without moving.

This thing is not large, but it exudes a strong corpse odor all over its body, and there are four pairs of insect hooks under the abdominal cavity, which are sharper than knives, and with the buzzing and flapping of its wings, a black smoke actually comes out of its body, and the rich stench makes people feel disgusting at the same time, and it also becomes chilling.

"Corpse Cockroach ......" Hui Zhen seemed to think of something, and his face turned white with a "swish", revealing an expression that was even more ugly than his dead father.

I also showed an extremely frightened expression, legend has it that the corpse cockroach is cultivated from the corpse, because it has been growing up by eating the carrion of the dead, so it is extremely poisonous, and the body is accompanied by a large amount of corpse poison, and ordinary people are bitten and there is no cure at all!

I was still in a daze, but the fat on Hui Zhen's face shook violently, pushed me and shouted, "Zhou Xuan, run!" ”

The moment we turned around, the corpse cockroach that had been hanging in the air also vibrated its wings faster, and with that strange "buzzing" sound, I looked back and saw that the thumb-sized thing had flown towards us.

The corpse cockroach flew quickly, like a bolt of lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced in front of it with a fishy smell.

As the distance closed, I smelled an extremely strong smell of corpses, and I felt my head swell, and I almost forgot to dodge.

Fortunately, Huizhen reacted in time and dragged me hard from behind, my body lost its center of gravity, the back of my head hit the stone wall, and tears of pain were about to rush out.

There was no time to cry out in pain, the corpse cockroach pounced in the air, its body skillfully turned in the air, circled around, and pounced on us again.

"Damn it!"

My scalp was numb, my hands were groping on the ground, and suddenly I touched something sharp, and I didn't think about it, so I chopped it down hard.

It wasn't until I was cut down that I realized that what I had touched in the chaos was actually a rusty dagger, which was probably what the owner of the tomb used for burial.

The material of this dagger is very hard, and it has not been corroded by patina for so many years, so it can be seen that it is not made of ordinary materials.

But when the dagger smashed the corpse, there was a "click" sound similar to a steel collision in his ears.

The shell of this bug is so hard?

I was frightened, and when I looked at it again, I had lost the trace of the corpse cockroach, looked around left and right, and did not find the whereabouts of the corpse cockroach, and was wondering where the corpse cockroach was hiding, but there was a panicked shout from Huizhen in my ears,

"Zhou Xuan, it's lying on top of your dagger!"

As soon as Huizhen's words fell, I felt the dagger in my hand jump, looked down at the edge of the dagger, and found that the corpse cockroach was not chopped by me, but opened the hook, lying on the tip of the knife, and the cross-shaped mouthparts were open, and it was gnawing frantically on the dagger.

I immediately felt that the blade was uncontrollable, and almost fell to the ground, and every bite of the corpse cockroach would gnaw a gap in the dagger, and in just a few seconds, the bladed dagger had several more holes.

What a hard tooth this must be!

I couldn't imagine the consequences of being bitten by a corpse cockroach, so I turned pale with fright, threw my dagger and ran forward.

Click, click!

As Hui Zhen and I ran, there was the sound of more jars breaking in the tombway, and I used the candlelight to find that the entire stone hall was covered with this kind of black jar.

As the tank cracked, one after another human skins "jumped" out of it.

Under each crumpled human skin, a thumb-sized corpse cockroach is wrapped!

These beasts were rampaging under the human skin, some crawling out along the eye sockets, and some simply flew into the air with the human skin, and saw from a distance, and the sight was full of dead people's faces, how scary it was.

"Run!"

My scalp was numb, and Huizhen's facial features were almost deformed with fright, so without saying a word, I ran into the depths of the graveyard.
