People are in Zong Tomb, Unloading Robbers Chapter 301: Things in the Box continued
Chen Ziyan saw that there were no items in the debris that could prove the identity of the skeletons, so he had no choice but to remind him:
"Since there are many contradictions in this skeleton, could it be another creature that looks like a child?"
"Shaped like a child... huge head... long arms... short legs..."
After Chen Ziyan’s suggestion, Shirley Yang thought of something and immediately said:
"This reminds me of a legendary creature - the mandrill. According to records in ancient books, this forest spirit has a huge head, long arms and other characteristics, which is quite consistent with the bones in front of me."
"It is indeed possible, but mandrills have always been illusory creatures and have never been proven to actually exist." Hu Bayi was a little doubtful, thought for a moment and said, "It is said that this thing can also spread wind and rain in the mountains and forests.
, itself has a wide range of mythological colors. If this is true, wouldn't it be more like a mountain god than Huo's undead insect?"
This was what Chen Ziyan was waiting for, and he immediately asked: "Why can't the mandrill be a mountain god?"
"Mandrill..." Hu Ba immediately wanted to refute, but then he thought of what Chen Ziyan said at the altar, and whispered to himself: "Were there really two mountain gods?"
"Isn't this an obvious thing? How could King Xian recognize the mountain god worshiped by the Yi people? After conquering this area, he would definitely choose a new 'clean' mountain god, which would also be very good for his rule.
"Consolidating effect." Chen Ziyan gave a convincing reason.
Any ruler would make such a choice.
Shirley Yang also followed up and said: "It was very common in ancient times for mandrills to be regarded as mountain gods, and it is consistent with the images we have seen. So the truth of the matter is probably that these mandrills were originally mountain gods worshiped by the Yi people, but in
After King Xian captured this place, they were replaced by Huo's undead insects that also lived in this area."
This also makes sense why the mandrill's bones were put into an animal skin bag with incantations printed on it, and were so solemnly stored in the body of the Huo's Undead Worm.
Because King Xian, who firmly believed in the existence of souls, was the culprit of their deaths, they were suppressed in this way.
"That's true." Hu Ba nodded.
This inference was so reasonable that he had no choice but to believe it.
"Okay, hurry up and take a look at the next thing." Chen Ziyan said upon seeing this.
Now that the matter has been explained clearly, there is no need to waste too much time on this matter.
After putting the mandrill's bones and other debris back into the animal skin bag, Chen Ziyan looked at the last grid in the copper box.
Placed in this grid is a small copper box that is very similar to a copper box. On the lid of the box is cast a ferocious ghost head. Not to mention the ugly appearance of this ghost head, there are also a pair of bone wings on both sides, which is quite a bit like a patrolling yaksha.
The charm of.
After a brief inspection and confirming that there was no problem, Chen Ziyan opened the copper box.
As the lid of the box opened, a cold blue light emerged from it, and what came into view was a three-legged toad that also had a blue color.
This blue, three-legged toad is as big as a human head and has a plump body. It naturally shows a proud look when it raises its head. No matter what materials it is made of, its lifelike appearance can be said to be rare.
A masterpiece, if coupled with this obviously unusual material, it is undoubtedly a divine object.
Chen Ziyan did not touch the three-legged toad rashly with his hands. Instead, he took out a short stick and tapped the object. From the clear knocking sound, he judged that the material of the object was probably stone.
"It seems that... let's call it Feitian Yaksha Bronze Letter for now. It should be the toad palace that supports these three-legged toads." Chen Ziyan looked at the copper box in his hand and said slowly.
"Speaking of which, we have seen many similar things along the way. It seems that this toad must have a unique significance in the Zhelong Mountain area." Shirley Yang thought of the toad logo on the mausoleum tree and the giant toad in front of it.
, said so.
Hu Ba nodded and said: "Toad has been one of the representative animals of the Moon Palace since ancient times. Isn't there a word called 'Toad Palace Wins the Crown'? It means that people in the world have become prosperous. From this, we can see that toads are the most important creatures in the moon palace."
Status in the eyes of the ancients."
"Then this three-legged toad is the most valuable treasure here!"
After hearing these words, Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.
He doesn't know much about appreciation, but in terms of appearance, among the three items in the copper box, the three-legged toad is undoubtedly the most outstanding, even the slightly mysterious bluestone bottle is slightly inferior.
"It's really possible. This three-legged toad is enough to be called a sacred object." Hu Ba nodded.
After receiving his affirmation, Wang Kaixuan clapped his hands vigorously: "This is really a blessing cultivated in the previous life!"
Shirley Yang didn't care too much about the value of the three-legged toad, but calmly analyzed its role: "I think compared to the price of this three-legged toad, its ability deserves more attention. The various strange things that appear in this cave
, the root cause most likely comes from this."
When talking about the latter part, her eyes moved to the bluestone bottle.
Although she only mentioned the three-legged toad, the bluestone bottle was also a suspect, and it was also the target of her suspicion.
But judging from the current situation, the three-legged toad is more likely.
However, before Shirley Yang could finish her words, a harsh baby cry suddenly sounded.
In such an underground cave, no one would think that the cry was really from a baby, so as soon as the sound sounded, everyone reacted accordingly.
Chen Ziyan, who had expected this, was the quickest to respond. At this moment, he quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the pool.
He heard clearly that the piercing cry was coming from the pool.
When Chen Ziyan's eyes fell on the shore of the pool, the first thing he saw was a wet strange baby lying there.
But if you look closely, you will find that this strange baby is not lying down, but that its lower limbs are not human bodies at all, so it gives the illusion of lying down.
This strange baby has a strange shape of half human and half insect. The upper body is still barely humanoid, but the lower limbs are completely insect-like. There are no legs at all. From a distance, it looks like a mollusk.
"What the hell is this!" Wang Kaixuan exclaimed immediately after seeing the appearance of this strange baby.
He dared to use Hu Bayi to guarantee that he had never seen anything uglier or more evil than this in his life.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Hu Bayi said warily.
There is no need to verify it. Just looking at such a weird and ferocious appearance, you know that it is definitely not a good thing.
And just when everyone was shocked by the strange baby, the strange baby on the shore howled and jumped up, rushing towards Ding Sitian who was closest to it.
At the same time as the strange baby jumped up, with the help of the light, everyone could clearly see that the strange mouth split into four pieces at four diagonal angles, and the inner wall of each piece was covered with anti-zagged barbs.
Just like the mouthparts of some insects.
But the mouthpart pales in comparison to the strong visual impact of its shattered head.
Faced with this sudden attack, Ding Sitian subconsciously waved the flashlight in her hand and reached for the gun hanging on her chest with her other hand.
But the strange baby was extremely fast. Before her finger could even touch the trigger, the mouthparts dripping with turbid mucus were already right in front of her eyes.
Just when the strange baby's barb-like fangs were about to touch Ding Sitian, a long stick came first and landed hard on the strange baby's waist and abdomen, sweeping it down.
The ground.
Without waiting for the strange baby to get up, Hu Bayi, who had already rushed over, slashed at it like a violent storm with an engineering shovel.
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Although the blade of the engineer's shovel was not very sharp, in the hands of the furious Hu Bayi, it exerted extraordinary power. In just a few strokes, the strange baby who had just bared his teeth and claws was chopped into pieces.
"Okay, okay, Lao Hu, he's already dead." Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan quickly stepped forward to stop Hu Bayi, and kicked the mangled corpse of the strange baby aside.
Hu Bayi was blocked by him, and the anger in his heart had been vented, so he was freed from the control of emotions.
But he didn't make a sound, he just panted and walked to Ding Sitian, causing Wang Kaixuan to pout behind him.
Hu Bayi has no regrets at all for turning the strange baby into this state. This thing dared to try to hurt Ding Sitian. Cutting it into pieces was already considered a sign of mercy from him.
"Wow wow wow——"
Just when everyone thought things would come to an end temporarily, a series of babies crying sounded again.
Everyone with chills in their hearts followed the sound and found that several strange babies appeared again at some unknown time next to the body of the strange baby.
These strange babies were currently swirling around the corpse of the same kind, and they kept making piercing howls, but they did not attack them.
"Are these weird things scared?" Wang Kaixuan asked secretly when he saw this scene.
"Afraid? It's unclear whether this thing has emotions or not." Chen Ziyan rejected his speculation without hesitation.
He knows very well the nature of these strange babies, and they may not even be considered insects.
"Be careful, everyone, they are calling for their companions!"
At this moment, Shirley Yang seemed to have thought of something and quickly reminded her.
Thinking of the dense group of ferocious babies in the original plot, Chen Ziyan also shrank and immediately said: "Let's do it together, we can't let them continue."
Although others did not know the origin of these strange babies, seeing Chen Ziyan's solemn expression at this moment, they knew that the matter was not simple, so they immediately pulled the trigger on the strange babies on the shore.
Although these monster babies look very scary, and they are the kind of horror movies that don't require makeup, they are still defenseless when faced with the rain of bullets, and they are all torn into pieces in the blink of an eye. After confirming that there were no living strange babies on the shore, Hu Bayi finally couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Chen, what on earth are these?"
From Chen Ziyan's reaction just now, he already knew that the other party knew something about these strange babies.
"I probably know something..." Chen Ziyan breathed out lightly.
While responding, his eyes fell on the water not far away, and quickly locked on one of them.
Although Chen Ziyan answered simply, he actually didn't think about how to explain it. At this moment, after seeing what he was looking for, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because...
The reason he wanted was found!
Where he looked, he saw a mutilated female body floating.
Hu Bayi had been paying attention to Chen Ziyan's movements, and when he saw his eyes fixed on the pool, he followed him.
But when he saw the female body there, he couldn't help but frown.
The female corpses he had seen before were all on their backs, so he had never seen the back of the female corpse, so he was a little surprised to see it now.
The female corpse's limbs, broken at incredible angles, were seen holding an olive-shaped translucent object, which looked like a giant insect cocoon.
But at this moment, the cocoon is broken, and there is a gap directly above it, but it looks like something came out of it.
"Did those weird things come out of here?" Wang Kaixuan's voice almost trembled.
Not only Hu Bayi saw the female corpse on the water, but everyone else also saw it. After seeing the female corpse and the cocoon, he naturally knew the origin of those strange babies.
Thinking of the almost countless female corpses in the water, even with Wang Kaixuan's character, he couldn't help but feel a little scared at this time.
"Obviously." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly.
This is why he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the female body, because he knew very well that after seeing the body, others would naturally understand why he wanted to stop the strange baby.
Because... everyone knows how many female corpses are in the water.
Shirley Yang tentatively took two steps forward and shined a flashlight at the cocoon. Then she saw layers of secret spells engraved on the broken cocoon shell.
The moment she saw these secret spells clearly, her expression changed. After she came back, she immediately said to the others: "This is a bad spell!"
"The art of evil? Is it the same as the human figurines we encountered before?" Wang Kaixuan asked.
"They are both the same but different. Both are containers, but the things they carry are different." Shirley Yang thought for a moment and said.
Although the things conceived in the human figurines we met earlier are also dangerous, they are completely different from the ferocious babies inside these female corpses.
After recalling the information she had read, Shirley Yang said: "These strange babies we saw should be the babies cultivated by King Xian using the magic technique."
If she hadn't read relevant records, she probably wouldn't have recognized the identities of these strange babies.
Of course, the content of the information she read was also very limited, otherwise she would not have truly recognized the identity of the baby until she saw the 'container'.
"Don't worry about these strange babies for now, let's go to the exit first." Chen Ziyan reminded.
He thought he wouldn't encounter a baby this time. After all, they didn't take the initiative to provoke those female corpses, so they ran out anyway.
