Chapter 6 The Glowing Underground Corpse(2/2)
Thank God, this time we entered Ying Kunlun Feng, we were prepared for our eyes. We were covered with light and sealed water lids. Wearing plastic anti-virus gloves, soft-soled boots on our feet, and gas masks on our faces. If we were to Wangling last time in Guangchuan, we wouldn't have any equipment, so we would have become the nutrients of these corpse insects long ago.
As soon as the girl shouted, before I could make any moves, the young master rushed over and blocked the girl. However, the red clouds in front came too quickly, and I knew something was wrong in my heart, so I hurriedly shouted, "Young master, take the girl back first." Huang Zhihua was dancing military bayonets in his hand, and put away the pistol in a neat manner. At this time, he probably understood that the guns seemed to have no effect on corpse worms.
I held up the bronze ancient sword and danced in a mess at the corpse worms coming from the shop. Unfortunately, I am not the master of swordsmanship in modern flawless movies. Although I relied on the wind power of the bronze ancient sword, I knocked down some red light beetles, but countless red light beetles rushed over.
Huang Zhihua opened his mouth and called me, but just called "Old Xu", he quickly closed his mouth. There were too many red light corpse insects this time. If the corpse insects just now were considered a forward, the corpse insects that massaged the current corpse insects would be a real army - the army was approaching.
I smiled bitterly, my mind was circling quickly. What should I do? What should I do?
Seeing the opportunity, the young master had already pulled the girl backwards. Although Huang Zhihua and I were holding her in front, there were too many corpses and insects, and they were overwhelming.
"Think about it quickly." Huang Zhihua finally couldn't help but roar, and his voice was low and hoarse through the gas mask, echoing in the empty tomb chamber.
How? I looked up in a hurry. Since the passage of the stone chamber had been opened, we were wearing miners' hats on our heads, and the light was dim and shady, but we could probably see clearly that there should be a stone chamber outside the stone chamber. However, unlike the stone chamber just now, there were broken limbs and broken bones everywhere on the ground. There were countless red light beetles crawling between the white and dry bones.
Sure enough, these beetles were all born with corpses, but why are there so many corpses here? While waving the bronze ancient sword in my hand in a panic, I couldn't help but think - this place doesn't look like a burial pit, and the burial pit doesn't look like that, so why are there so many corpses here? And the corpses are all incomplete?
Incomplete corpse? I was shocked suddenly. When I was leading to the high platform of the real tomb in the Guangchuan Royal Tomb, I had a similar situation in the founding of the country, with broken limbs and broken bones all over the ground
No! I couldn't help but shake my head. This corpse worm is different from an ordinary corpse worm. An ordinary corpse worm will never attack living people so violently? There is only one situation. The corpse worms here are raised by the owner of the tomb as needed. Then in the way to the main tomb, there must be insect prevention settings. Otherwise, I am afraid that the corpse of the owner of the tomb will not be preserved and will become the feces of the corpse worm. Perhaps no one wants to become the food for the worm after he dies?
Once I figured out this point, I didn't care about anything else and shouted loudly: "Everyone follows me, let's rush over..." As I said that, I waved the bronze ancient sword in my hand and rushed forward.
Huang Zhihua waved the military bayonet with one hand, protected the young master and the girl, and rushed forward after me.
In fact, I take great risks because I don’t know how long this road is, where is the forbidden area for these corpse worms? And how long can the water on our bodies resist with a mask?
As I stepped into the stone chamber covered with corpses, I had already fallen into a sea of red light. The red corpse worm that had not tasted fresh flesh and blood for a long time. It was like snowing, sweeping towards me. My whole body was covered with dense corpse worms. If it weren't for the support of survival, I was afraid no one would be able to support me.
Even so, I still feel my arms are getting heavier and heavier. Although the corpse worms are light, they gather in small quantities. These corpse worms, which are denser than the snowflakes in the north in winter, are rushing towards us one after another...
My feet are getting heavier and heavier—the steps are difficult, and too much load is almost impossible for me to bear.
"Ah..." Behind me, the screams of the young master and the girl came from. I had to look back and saw that the young master and the girl fell to the ground. Now I could no longer see clearly what they looked like. Only dense corpse insects were spread all over the two of them, constantly squirming and looking for a breakthrough.
I didn't care about myself, so I turned over and tried my best to help the girl slap her. The young master let go of the girl and rolled around the ground, trying to crush the red light corpse worm attached to her body.
"Damn..." Huang Zhihua roared angrily. Now he is covered with corpse insects. Even our miner's lamp is covered with corpse insects, making the light that is not very obvious even darker, in a daze, with ghosts...
The ground is full of corpses of our same kind, and the hungry bodies are already covered with insects. It won’t take long to use their perseverance to bite the water on our bodies and suck our flesh and blood...
Are we destined to bury our bones here today? The shadow of death is getting closer and closer to me, and I have even given up resisting, but instinctively waved the ancient bronze sword to drive away the corpse insects in front of me...
The young master rolled on the ground a few times, finally shaking his body and stood up, waving a dagger like a madman. Unfortunately, even his dagger was filled with dense corpse insects, as if it had no effect at all...
Lao Xu...what to do? I seemed to hear Huang Zhihua call me.
What to do? I raised my head and the darker the light of the miner's lamp was, it was blocked by all the corpse insects...
Light? At this moment, I saw a ray of dawn in the darkness. Why did these corpse insects attack us so clearly? They are not intelligent bodies, so - their purpose of attacking us is because of light? If there are other lights that can lead them away, wouldn't we be saved?
In the dark underground world, they are light bodies themselves, so they should not be light-taping, because they have been in the dark for too long and have no light, which leads to vision deterioration and eventually loss of all.
But these red corpse worms are different. They are light and live in groups, so they naturally have vision functions. Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted: "Flats... fast... flares..."
Huang Zhihua rushed out the flare from his backpack, took off the gun from his back, and after installing it, he shot hard towards the darkness in the distance without my instructions.
The flares were drawn in the empty underground world, and they were falling into the distance. Then I felt that my sight was briefly blind. In the distance, there was obviously a dazzling white light igniting, but at this moment, I vaguely saw two gray shadows shaking in the distance, and it was a human being.
Like many phototaxial insects, the red light corpse insects rushed over and became quick.
The red corpse worms that were originally entangled around us also rushed over, and we were relieved. Although there were still corpse worms stuck to our bodies, they were not that heavy. I pulled up the girl, and almost at the same time, Huang Zhihua had already grabbed the young master and shot a flare in one direction again.
This time I could see clearly that there were white stone steps spreading up more than ten meters in front, but on the stone steps, I clearly saw two gray figures flashing and disappearing...
However, there was no time to consider anything for us. The light of the flares would not last long, and soon the corpse worms would come back again. The four of us were panic like a stray dog, running towards the opposite side quickly, even if there was greater danger on the opposite side, something even more terrifying was waiting for us.
We have no choice!
Our degree was very fast, and it was about ten meters away. There were rows of white stone steps. When I first stepped on the stone steps, the red corpse worms that were originally stuck to me seemed to have suffered some blows and flew back in time. They fell directly to the ground and turned into black liquid, which was extremely disgusting.
Sure enough, there are also powerful insect-proof facilities on the passage leading to the main tomb chamber. When these corpse insects arrive here, they no longer have lethality.
We stopped on the white stone steps and gasped heavily. The young master and the girl were so scared that they were scattered. Although it was not long just now, it was only three or five minutes, we had already been back from the gates of hell.
"Old Xu... How do you know that those corpse insects are eye-catching? I heard the old man say that underground corpse insects are usually without vision... Huh..." Huang Zhihua pressed his hands on his knees, bent over, and panted.
"Damn!" I cursed angrily, knowing that the old man he mentioned must be the old man Nan Chuizi. I believe Huang Zhihua had been preparing to follow us into the ancient tomb, so he asked the old man in advance, but could he believe the old fox and old man?
Those corpse worms are light, and their vision will not deteriorate in another thousand years! I explained.
I held the girl in one hand and the bronze sword in the other, looking around. I don’t know what material the stone steps here are built with. Under the illumination of the miner’s lamp above our heads, they appear to be translucent, like mutton fat jade, just like the material of the Yellow River dragon coffin, and the same material as the platform on the pool in the Guangchuan Royal Tomb. When I saw this, I could already confirm that the lord of the tomb with the eyes of the Kunlun Feng was bound to have some connection with the Yellow River dragon coffin.
Maybe, we can really find the answer here?
We rested on the white stone steps for a while, and the young master finally replied, panting and asked me: "Old Xu, why do you think this underground creature is actually so bright? We have seen corpse worms before, but this is not the case?"
I glared at him fiercely, but I was wearing a gas mask on my face, and my eyes were not lethal at all. Seeing that the girl was also looking at me curiously, she immediately explained that it was naturally a corpse worm that someone deliberately cultivated.
Someone deliberately cultivated corpse insects? Huang Zhihua jumped up on the spot and asked, "Who is so bored, are you crazy?"
I sneered, "You are crazy, others may not be crazy. This is a must-have game. No matter who you are, as long as you enter the tomb, as long as you are a normal person, whether you are an ancient or modern person, lighting tools must be brought, but these corpse insects will rush to see the light. If we hadn't had the excellent equipment this time, even if you knew in advance that there were such a perverted corpse insect inside, you wouldn't be able to overcome such a level."
In fact, I don’t know when this ancient tomb was built. No matter who it was, what he thought of was the tomb robbery facilities at that time. I would never have any exquisite equipment thousands of years later. And ancient people would never have water, plastic gloves, gas masks, etc. Even if they entered here in metal armor, the corpse insect event in front would definitely not be able to get through.
There are so many corpses here, it is very likely that the tomb owner killed someone and deliberately abandoned them. The main purpose is to raise these red light corpse insects, making it the most powerful guardian of the tomb chamber.
Of course, another group of people may also be greedy tomb robbers who have entered this place and become nutrients for corpse worms.
