Chapter 33 Three-Eyed Tower Belly
The fat man used a flashlight to carefully observe the bugs in the coffin. They were shriveled up like dried sea cucumbers. Their backs were covered with sharp thorns, and their abdomens were covered with pyramid-shaped gastropods.
Interspersed with fine black hairs.
Its head has a sucker-shaped mouth, which is filled with small and dense fangs. There are three slender eye stalks above the head, and there is a yellow eyeball at the top of the eye stalks.
The fat man squeezed it with his hand, and the insect slowly twisted its body like a cicada, and its eye stalks were constantly twisting, but its three eyes were always staring at the fat man.
"What the hell is this?" The fat man's face was full of disgust.
"This is a three-eyed tower-belly. It lives by sucking blood and injecting venom to cause hallucinations. Over time, people will lose consciousness and become a living dead without thinking. It will also help it find a new host..."
Xiao Ran recited the information about the strange insect in front of him as if he were reciting a text, like a biologist.
He said these words completely based on the instinct of muscle memory. The moment he saw Fatty Wang holding the squirming little monster and heard him asking questions, the memory of this three-eyed tower belly suddenly flooded into his mind.
In his mind, people with skeletal shapes and zombie-like shapes appeared in his mind, walking aimlessly in the muddy river valley with swaying limbs, green mucus constantly flowing out from the cracked skin.
On the lake in the distance, a creature as huge as an island in the middle of the lake is standing upright with eye stalks as thick as a tree trunk. Three huge eyeballs shine yellow in the moonlight, and the roots that surface are covered with huge spikes.
The mud, rags and fragments of human or animal bones were like a living forest of death.
The three eye stalks seemed to have discovered his presence, twisting one by one, and slowly turned towards him. The giant three-eyed tower-belly scorpion as big as an island opened its cave-like mouth and roared at him, steel needle
The densely packed teeth flashed with a cold light.
The living dead oozing green pus, as if they had heard the order, turned to him one after another and staggered over.
Suddenly a burst of bright light flashed, as if the sun was rising. The huge three-eyed pagoda in the center of the lake had disappeared, leaving only the blisters and ripples on the lake. The skin and flesh of the living dead were also torn apart by the sunlight, slowly.
Slowly turning into pools of green sludge.
"Boss Xiao...Boss Xiao..."
A confused voice woke up Xiao Ran. He saw that it was Hu Bayi shining a flashlight on his face. Fatty and Yingzi also had concerns on their faces.
"Boss Xiao, do you even know this thing? It seems that there are some unfriendly memories, and I was stunned." The fat man said.
Xiao Ran slapped his head. Since time traveling, his memory of this life has never been completely restored. He often has to see certain people, things, and things before he can recall the relevant details.
But the memory image of the Three-Eyed Tower Belly Owl just now was like a football that suddenly broke through the window. Except that it was in his mind, Xiao Ran couldn't remember the source and whereabouts of this knowledge at all. He could only see the ground.
of fragments.
He had no choice but to smile and say, "I've seen it in books before, and I can be considered a miscellaneous person..."
"Is this what caused us to hallucinate just now?" Eiko asked.
Hu Bayi picked up a dead bone and turned over the corpse in the coffin, and said: "I guess this is just one of the reasons. When we opened the mezzanine, we saw a person with a fresh face and breathing. Now this
The sub-frame is covered in dust. It couldn't have become like this in an instant. I guess this Onmyoji has arranged more than one layer of mechanisms. We should have fallen into his trap as soon as we opened the mezzanine, and then were unknowingly attacked by these bugs.
Climb on it, it’s double insurance.”
Xiao Ran nodded and said to the fat man: "Fat man, I have some knowledge of these guys before. According to the legend of the Japanese, this type of onmyoji will use some messy methods to recruit some demons and ghosts. They are the shikigami I told you before.
.
"There are two copies of the Japanese letter. Some of the content in the Japanese letter is different from the other one. It mentions a word called 'luoxinfu', which is said to be a spider-shaped monster that can turn into a woman to confuse people."
, is it a bit similar to the scene we just saw?"
Hu Ba nodded and added: "Boss Xiao is right. When I read the Japanese letter from the little Japs, it probably said something that only the Japs could understand, such as the fact that I made a bride as a defense method, and
These are the ways to break the hallucination. The other letter was written specifically for our people. Whether it is our army, ordinary people, or other tomb robbers who read that letter and were confused by him, this is the result we just had.
Or even worse..."
The fat man cursed bitterly: "Damn it, if sister Yingzi hadn't hit her by mistake, we would have explained everything here today!"
He looked at the worm that was still wriggling in his hand, threw it to the ground and stomped on it a few times.
But the strange thing is that no matter how hard you step on the insect, it starts to twist again after a while, and it seems difficult to kill it with ordinary human power.
"Fat Master, this thing is barely a kind of slug, but it has stronger vitality than ordinary slugs. Unless your foot is a hydraulic press, you really can't crush it..." Xiao Ran said.
"Then what should we do? It's such a harmful thing, why don't we just throw it away?" Yingzi asked.
Xiao Ran smiled and said: "It's not that complicated to kill it. This thing is afraid of salt, fire, and dehydration. I guess the Onmyoji used his own blood to feed this thing, but after so many years, it is almost dead.
As long as you don’t let it live in a place with sufficient water, it will not be so flexible, it will not grow up, and it will dry out on its own after a while.”
"Can it still grow up? Then let's give it a ride!"
After the fat man finished speaking, he took a few steps back and shot the three-eyed tower worm. The thing was immediately beaten into mud. Then he followed the same pattern and "physically transcended" several other living three-eyed tower worms.
It seems that all fear comes from lack of firepower. This is always true.
After dealing with these bad bugs, the fat man's mind became active again and asked: "What kind of hermaphrodite letter said that there are some treasures hidden in this underground fortress that I haven't had time to take away. Do we have to look for them again? Don't put them in front of us."
All the cooked ducks were missed.”
Hu Bayi was still carefully fidgeting with the bones in the coffin. When he heard the fat man say this, he raised his head and asked, "This little devil is full of tricks. How dare you believe what he says in the letter? Aren't you afraid of falling into his trap again?"
The fat man smacked his lips and turned to Xiao Ran: "Boss Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Ran remembered what was mentioned in the letter, as well as the hallucinations just now, and said: "If there is really nothing hidden, this Onmyoji feeds worms with his body and deliberately arranges double mechanisms to deceive those who come, which is a bit redundant. Ask me
Said, we should still explore more..."
"Okay! Lao Hu, Boss Xiao and I are on the same side, let's just let the minority obey the majority!"
After the fat man finished speaking, he pulled the confused Yingzi to his side, indicating that the camp was further expanding.
Hu Bayi didn't respond to him and raised his head to greet the people: "Look, what is this?"
