Chapter 445: The Dead Man Turns Over, The Soul Returning Insect
Fear is something that cannot be predicted. When it comes, there are no signs
At this moment, Liu Shiba and Liu Qian are about to collapse
Everything I saw before my eyes was beyond the bottom line of human nerves.
Under the light beam of the miner's lamp, endless mummies were seen, densely packed, like an army, filling the entire cave.
The endless mummies were actually not enough to scare Liu Shiba and Liu Qian so much. After all, they had gone through some frights and were already different from ordinary people.
What really scares people are the red worms covering the surface of the mummies
Only then did Liu Shiba realize why the mummy he had just acquired was so cold.
Because these dried corpses have lost all water, all the blood and water in the trunks have been sucked dry by this red worm that has lived for unknown ages.
In fear, Liu Shiba's heart flashed
I remembered the mural I saw earlier in the corridor above. The man in the barrel who was suspected of being Kublai Khan was covered with black bugs.
Those black worms are the red worms on the countless mummies in front of us.
This place is not only a burial cave, but also an insect nest.
Densely packed mummies, countless
The red worms, as if disturbed by Liu Shiba and the others, slowly began to squirm on the mummy.
Lame...Liu Qian seemed to be frightened and stood there dumbfounded.
Liu Shiba turned his head and glanced at Qin Da, who was still calm.
"What is this? How many people must be killed to fill this cave? The Mongols are really beasts."
Liu Qian trembled and closed his eyes, trembling and cursing.
The corpses in the grotto were both male and female, and most of them had different heads. Just relying on the weird murals before, Liu Shiba had no reason to give up.
The forest of mummies showed a strange black color, and each dead mummy looked like a standing black iron pillar.
The empty space in the middle of the group of corpses was only about thirty meters away from Liu Shiba and the others.
The three people, inch by inch, moved quietly into the group of corpses, fearing to disturb the red worms that seemed to be hypnotized.
At a distance of thirty meters, Liu Shiba felt as exhausted as if he had run a marathon.
Half an hour later, the three of them finally stood in the empty space among the corpses.
He didn't realize it from a distance, but when he got closer, Liu Shiba discovered that there was a square black altar in the empty space among the corpses.
The altar is only a few meters high, and the top is carved with countless grooves.
"This is the altar. This is what was painted on those murals."
Liu Shiba said calmly.
“What are these lines on the surface of the altar for?”
Liu Qian asked curiously
"I don't know what the purpose of these lines is, but I know that after these people were tied up, they were fixed with molten iron.
At this time, these mummies were not dead yet, so they released red worms to suck the blood and water from their bodies."
Liu Shiba explained softly.
"You have to go to such trouble for being sacrificed and buried alive. Do you think these people can come back to life?"
Liu Qian whispered something
When Liu Shiba heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Return to Soul"
Liu Qian's unintentional words made Liu Shiba's mind flash.
"Could it be the soul-returning insect that has long been lost and extinct?"
Liu Shiba couldn't believe it and muttered
At some point, Qin Da was very close to the altar.
Qin Da seemed to be very interested in this altar. Seeing Liu Qian and Liu Shiba looking at him blankly, he said doubtfully:
"Watch what I do. I just see that the pattern on this altar is good. Master, look at this. There is a slot in the middle."
Liu Shiba looked stiff, looked at Qin Da and Liu Qian who looked puzzled and said softly:
"This is the blood tank, used for bleeding."
Liu Qian added strangely:
"Didn't I just say that these people were killed by worms? There was no blood anywhere in the corpses."
"I didn't say this altar was used to bleed people."
Liu Shiba shook his head fiercely
Liu Qian bulged his eyes and showed an incredible expression
Liu Shiba looked at Liu Qian and nodded:
"You guessed it right, this altar is used to store the blood of red worms."
Liu Shiba stared at the strange lines on the altar, vaguely depicting a wolf totem.
"The existence of these mummies is to allow these disgusting soul-returning insects to suck blood and then come to the altar to drain the blood."
Liu Qian said stupidly.
Liu Shiba ignored Liu Qian, who had a stiff face, but walked a few steps along the altar, then slowly returned to the place where he was, saying with an ugly face:
"I don't know how these billions of soul-returning insects can bleed obediently."
Liu Shiba shook his head in confusion.
Liu Qian asked strangely:
"Captain, you haven't said what the Soul-Returning Insect is yet."
Liu Shiba had a strange look on his face, as if he had thought of something incredible. A trace of ferocity appeared on his face. He looked at Liu Qian and said with a ferocious smile:
"The soul-reviving insect, as the name suggests, is an ancient strange insect that can turn the dead back to life.
Regarding the allusion to the soul insect this time, my grandfather told me that there were ten strange insects in ancient China.
Among them, this soul worm is the most mysterious. When it is young, this worm slowly sucks the blood of living people and can extract the blood essence from the blood essence of living people.
The most terrifying thing is that this time the soul worm can inject the refined blood essence into another dead person.
The blood essence refined by countless soul-returning insects is enough to bring the dead with incorruptible bodies back from the underworld to the earth again."
Liu Qian was dumbfounded as he listened to Liu Shiba's nonsense and grinned:
"I don't believe there are such evil insects in the world"
Qin Da also stuck out his head, finally couldn't help but retched, and breathed in:
"I don't believe it either"
Liu Shiba was silent for a long time after hearing the words, staring at the bottom of the altar, as if there was a tube extending into the darkness.
After a long time, Liu Shiba's eyes narrowed, he was frightened and uneasy, and said with a ferocious face:
"But, I believe it"
After saying that, Liu Shiba turned his head with difficulty, looked at Qin Da who looked miserable and sick, and added:
"Qin Da, seeing you vomit is more difficult than seeing a soul-returning insect vomiting blood."
