What makes people nervous and inexplicable is that the skeleton is completely fresh, and the time of death was only about a day. The clothes on his body are still well preserved, but there is no trace of flesh and blood on his body.
As soon as I saw this corpse, I felt something bad. I guess he might have been eaten by the ghost poison here. If this is the case, wouldn't we be in a dangerous place now and might die at any time?
Wang Kui and the others also thought of this and hurriedly urged them to leave here quickly. Just as they were about to leave, the fat man suddenly screamed and jumped up in fear like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and then looked at his feet in panic.
I saw a pale human hand sticking out of a messy pile of jars. It was still trembling and stretching, as if it was trying to catch something. It was probably because the fat man was caught by it that he was so nervous.
This was a living person. We quickly pulled him out of the pile of jars and found that he was a man in his thirties, with a thin build and a mustache. His face had turned blue-black, and his eyes had lost their sparkle.
When he saw us, he said with trembling lips: "Help, help me."
I was about to ask him what happened, but Wang Kui on the side said: "Don't bother, he is hopeless." After that, he bent down slightly and asked the man: "You were the one who activated the mechanism just now, right?"
Did the leader of the Seven Stars send you here?"
The man was startled for a moment, then nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his body suddenly started to tremble, and he made a gurgling sound in his mouth, which looked very uncomfortable. Suddenly his mouth suddenly opened, and we were horrified to find a black...
The worms crawled out of his mouth, and when he looked at the man again, he was already dead.
"It's ghost Gu, run quickly." Wang Kui screamed, turned around and wanted to escape, but stopped as soon as he took off his feet, looking around with a fearful expression.
"Why don't you leave, old boy..." The fat man couldn't continue after half a sentence, and his eyes widened. It turned out that at some point, we were surrounded by insects, and it was so dark that we couldn't count them.
Unclear. Moreover, these bugs are quite strange. They are not eager to attack us. They just surround us like an army and are in good order.
We didn't understand what was going on, and we didn't dare to act rashly. Finally, the old lame man said that they might have a king. We all know that everything has a king, and these creatures should be no exception. Only their talents make them obey orders.
Their encirclement is getting tighter and tighter, getting closer and closer, everyone's heart is in their throats, these things are highly poisonous, and one bite can kill people. Now there are so many of them surrounding us, this
It gives people a feeling of being unable to escape.
We can't wait any longer. If we continue like this, we will have no chance at all. I cheered up, suppressed the fear in my heart and slowly took a few steps forward. But what was surprising was that those ghost Gus were all gone.
They all stepped back, the distance was about the same as the few steps I had taken.
This is a surprising discovery, but people can't figure out why. "Quack, little prince, are these things different from the ones we saw last time? Those who saw us last time rushed towards us like drunkards seeing fine wine.
, these are hiding, are they afraid of people?"
After the fat man finished speaking, he wanted to walk over, but was held back by Wang Kui: "Don't be impulsive. It's not that they are afraid of people at all, otherwise the person would not have died."
"Really? I don't believe it, Mr. Gua." As he said that, he walked forward without hesitation. But before he could reach the ghost Gu, those damn bugs all raised their two huge pliers in front of them, eager to try.
Moving forward, the fat man was so frightened that he jumped back. "Damn it, are these damn things still picky about food and impatient because I have so much meat?"
"If my guess is correct, these ghost Gu are afraid of people, but they are only afraid of Wang Fo." Wang Kui and Lao Laizi said as they helped Xiao Liu come over.
"Isn't it possible? Could it be that the young prince is a god descending to earth?" The fat man said with disbelief on his face.
"That's not true. There should be something about him that makes them wary."
Seeing them all looking at me strangely, I also became confused. I remembered that I didn’t bring anything with me because I came directly from Beijing this time. I didn’t expect this operation at all. Normally, I didn’t bring anything with me.
Everything I brought was left at home.
Just when I was about to explain, the fat man suddenly pounced on me and tore off my package. The fat man was very curious, so I didn't stop him. Anyway, I was also filled with strong curiosity.
The fat man took out the things one by one. Apart from food and water, there were rope tools and some self-defense weapons. There was nothing special. When I thought they were wrong, the fat man took out something from the package.
A delicate wooden box was held in the hand and looked at curiously. "Little prince, what is inside this?"
I felt a little bad when I saw the box. The old man specially asked me to carry it with me anytime and anywhere. It is my biggest secret. "Fat man, you can't open that."
But it was too late, and the anxious fat man had already opened the lid. "Hey, why is there a turtle shell inside?" The fat man curiously took out the keel inside and looked at it.
"Look at those ghost Gu." The old lame man screamed at the side.
I subconsciously turned my head and looked around, and found that the ghost Gu began to become restless, crawling back and forth on the ground, looking a little restless.
It is already obvious that the problem is with this box, but I think it is not the function of this keel. There is another thing inside, but I dare not tell them.
"Haha, it seems that this turtle shell is what it is for. Little prince, what is this? How can it make these bugs scared?"
I didn’t know how to answer, so I thought, since he thought it was the function of the dragon bone, it would be better to let them think so than to dig out the contents. But Wang Kui is a very smart and knowledgeable person.
, he recognized what it was at a glance and said: "That's a dragon bone. It should be something used by wizards in ancient times for divination. It seems to have some secrets and is a good thing. However, it is not the reason. At best, it is
It is just a carrier that records some information and secrets from ancient times, and has no effect on these ghost poisons."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. The fat man thought for a while and said: "This box is very heavy, it should have a mezzanine! Little prince, there should be something underneath it, right?"
