Chapter 86 Liu Bo's Secret
The pungent and unpleasant odor became more serious, but when I covered my nose and wanted to retreat, the insect had already taken the initiative to attack while I was relaxing my guard, biting my neck, and the insect body slapped my abdomen!
The moment I was bitten by it, I didn't feel anything. I saw Lao Zhong and the others' faces turned blue, but I looked at them in a daze. Then the next second I was suddenly thrown by the huge corpse worm. I was so strong that I almost twisted my neck off. The back of my neck was aching. I fell to the ground and was still in a state of fear.
At this moment, the place where I was bitten suddenly became unbearable. After a while, I felt numb on my feet and almost lost my sense of touch. I must have been poisoned.
At this time, I saw Lao Zhong and the others running towards me anxiously and roaringly. Lao Zhong waved his long sword and hit the beetle that bit my neck with one blow.
More beetles rushed towards us, so I could only get up and drive away the insects like Lao Zhong. All the equipment I brought was left with Chen Yun. We only had a knife in our hands, and there was no way to deal with it.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a messy footsteps came from behind, and then a voice came, "I don't know if you live or die, this is a corpse worm, hurry up and cover your nose!"
The sudden sound made me stunned for a moment. When I turned around, I saw a figure that I absolutely could not imagine standing behind us. What followed was a dark object thrown from his hands, forming a parabola in the air, passing over our heads and falling into the tide of insects in front.
Yeah?
Bang!
Before I could see clearly what that thing was, the black solid that landed on the ground had exploded. While a muffled sound came, there was also a rich white smoke on the surface.
Then the figure behind me ran towards us frantically. Within three seconds, the entire space was covered with the white smoke. I took a sip and felt a choking smell of sulfur that could not be blocked.
Old Zhong also coughed with a choking sound, turned me and ran towards the place where the black shadow appeared just now. Until both sides touched their heads, Ge Zhuang immediately exclaimed, "Brother Liu, why are you here?"
The one who appeared in front of us and relieved our crisis was not someone else, but the old man who was guarding the door we met at Professor He’s house before. However, compared to the previous timid imagination, Liu Bo’s momentum was very different at this moment. He was wearing a black tights, and the tights were covered with a black coat, dressed like a black gold warrior in the "Matrix".
"Go away quickly, don't ask!" Uncle Liu pulled us and ran into the cave. Lao Zhong and I looked at each other, and could only follow him with a tough bullet.
After passing through the cave where these stone statues were met, Liu Bo turned to run into a smaller crevicle of the rock, and behind it was thick smoke that kept filling the black bugs, which did not dare to approach us easily.
After finally getting rid of the beetles behind me, Uncle Liu came to disinfect my wound. My face turned blue with pain on the ground, and I couldn't help asking, "Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
After a while of running wildly, everyone was panting and leaning against the stone wall to rest. At this time, we no longer knew where we ran into the mountain belly. Liu Bo first wrapped his wounds with gauze for me, then raised his head, looked at me and said, "You guys are so embarrassed to ask, I came for Lao He at that time."
"You said Professor He?" I asked.
Liu Bo’s tense face turned into a piece of cold iron, saying that if it weren’t for him, how could I have spent a good life in retirement, but I came to this place through mountains and rivers?
I smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Liu, it seems that we underestimated you. I didn't expect that you are so capable and know how to control those corpse insects." After Liu Bo applied the poison to me, he said that there was nothing strange about it. Snakes, insects, rats and ants were afraid of sulfur. As long as you sprinkle sulfur, these insects would not dare to approach them rashly.
Seeing that the injury to my calf was not serious, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned and said, "Those corpse insects are the legendary Bayonet centipede insects, and the surface of their insect bodies is extremely poisonous... It is a blessing for you to meet me. If you don't have these first aid antidotes, you may have been poisoned and died in less than two hours."
I said strangely, "Brother Liu, why do you know these insects so well?"
While packing up disinfection tools, he looked at me with a serious look on his face, "When Lao He and I were young, I have been to this southern Xinjiang once before and have dealt with many local indigenous residents. This method of deworming was taught by an Yi Gu master!"
I had many questions in my mind. Since the crisis had been temporarily in contact, I looked at Liu Bo's face and said, "Brother Liu, you don't look as simple as it seems."
He smiled, looked up at me and said, "What, is there anything wrong?"
I said, are you keep following us? Liu Bo shook his head and said, "Fuck, I still need to follow you. I saw Lao He's notebook earlier than any of you. I knew that Yelang's ruins would be here."
I said, is that Xiao Zhang suddenly was attacked by someone in the hospital before, and that person wanted to steal the record book left by Professor He. Did you do it?
Hearing my words, Uncle Liu looked up at me and said, "You guy is quite smart, how did you know?"
I said it was just a guess, but you are not asking for your own advice? Uncle Liu, I am very grateful for your rescue, but what is your purpose of coming here with us? Can you tell me? Also, why should you rob the record book we found in Professor He’s study?
Uncle Liu smiled and raised his head and said, "Why, are you starting to interrogate your savior?"
I said you can't say anything, but you should be alone. No matter whether you are here to save Professor He or have other ways, without our help, you will never be able to accomplish anything.
Uncle Liu reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself. Then he took a deep breath, stared at me with his dark sperm, saying that I had knocked Xiao Zhang out before, because I didn't want you to get involved in this mixed water. Who knew that by accident, he didn't steal Lao He's record book, but asked you to find the clues, alas!
I said why do you want to stop us?
Uncle Liu asked without answering, "Boy, I was like Lao He back then, both archaeological experts in the organization. Do you know why I was later jailed and deprived of all my professional titles?" I said it was for the sake of a fight, right?
He said it could be said yes or not. In short, the hidden secrets of the two countries of Guba and Shu are too big, and there are many people participating in the investigation, but once some are announced, they are likely to subvert our understanding of the world. I also participated in similar investigations back then, so I knew very well that if you let you continue to investigate, you would definitely cause trouble. If it weren't for hiding these secrets in history, I wouldn't have been to jail.
I said, what history have you concealed? Can you tell me it?
Uncle Liu smiled but said nothing, saying that some secrets can only be broken in his heart and could not tell anyone. In short, I kindly remind you that it is best not to continue investigating. After finding Lao He, you can go home.
Intuition tells me that Liu Bo prevents us from approaching the ancient Yelang site like this, and there must be too many secrets hidden in his stomach, and these secrets are probably the direction Chen Yun is going to investigate. He is not a simple person.
