Professor Tang's explanation was a little too brief. After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the shower room.
I didn't know where he was going, so I hurriedly chased him and asked him what he meant by what he just said? What are worms? Those people didn't look like worms at all.
Who knows, Tang Jiao suddenly told me that he could give me more explanations, but the most important thing for us right now is to stop Officer Hu and others before they go to the secret passage. Otherwise, not only
Officer Mu, Li Shengli, and everyone who went to the secret passage, including Lin Qianyi, may be replaced by those Gu insects!
"What?" Professor Tang's words really shocked me. I didn't dare to guess whether he was trying to scare me or if he was serious about it, so I could only follow him obediently.
I thought Professor Tang would go all the way into the ruins, but who knew that he led me to a temporary camp first? I asked him if he was not in a hurry, why did he go there first?
Professor Tang told me that he was going to the camp to find some food first. This made me a little surprised, because according to what Li Shengli said, wasn't there food stored in the secret passage? Why did Professor Tang tell me that it was ready?
How many days have you not had enough to eat?
I was just about to ask him this question, but Professor Tang pointed at me and said, "And you, are you going to move around with your butt naked all the time?"
I was startled by Professor Tang's words. It was only then that I came back to my senses and remembered that all my clothes had been taken away by that monster. I smiled awkwardly at Professor Tang, then rushed in front of him and ran back first.
A temporary camp was set up.
When I changed my clothes and walked out of the tent, I saw Professor Tang roasting something by the campfire. It was the piece of Jinhua ham that I found from the warehouse for Officer Mu.
When Professor Tang saw me coming out, he tore half of the ham with a fork, handed it to me and said, "I have to go on my way soon, so you should eat some too."
In fact, I had just eaten breakfast not long ago, but the encounter with the counterfeit just now made me consume a lot of energy. Now I was quite hungry, so I didn't refuse, and after taking it, I wolfed it down.
In order to seize the time, no one of us spoke during the meal, and it took us seven or eight minutes to finish eating. Although it took a while, we finally regained some of our energy.
After eating, Professor Tang walked around again, found a few useful things, such as a flashlight, a shovel, etc., put it into a small bag, put it on his back, and then took it.
Then I left the temporary camp and went to the depths of the ruins to find the whereabouts of Officer Hu and others.
After walking out of the camp and crossing the city wall, Professor Tang suddenly stopped and looked up at a certain section of the city wall in front of him. I asked him what was wrong? Professor Tang pointed to a place and said, "Don't you want to know about those Gu insects?"
What's going on? Let me take you to see something first."
After saying that, Professor Tang passed through the city wall, but he did not go straight into the depths of the ruins. Instead, he walked up a stone staircase close to the city wall I just passed through.
This place looked familiar, but before I could remember where it was, a body fell on the city wall appeared in front of us.
Only when I saw the appearance of that body did I realize, isn't this the corpse with the facial features that was damaged that I found when I first arrived here?
"Professor Tang, what is this?"
"This person..." Professor Tang stared at the corpse and sighed, "This person is Li Shengli..."
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I almost shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible! Isn't Li Shengli always with us?"
"Are you referring to the corpse without internal organs? Didn't I tell you that it is actually a Gu insect sealed in this ruins?"
Oh my God! It turns out that the real Li Shengli died long before we got here, and the one who has been with us for several days is actually Li Shengli disguised as a monster?
Professor Tang said: "The ones that killed Li Shengli were the bugs I just mentioned. The so-called bugs are a legendary man-made monster. The method of making them is to put various insects and animals in a sealed container.
, let them fight with each other, and the last remaining one is called a Gu. And what you just saw is a special kind of Gu cultivated by the ancient Dian Kingdom for their dream of immortality.
"
"Immortality..."
"Yes." Professor Tang nodded. He took one last look at Li Shengli's body, and then began to walk down the city wall and continue towards the depths of the ruins.
I followed closely behind him, silently listening to Professor Tang's explanation.
I originally thought that Professor Tang would tell me the key points directly, but maybe because the secret in his heart had been hidden for too long, he actually directly explained to me the history before the fall of the Dian Kingdom. But what surprised me was that what he said
This piece of history is related to what I experienced not long ago.
I saw Professor Tang looking around at the surrounding ruins while rushing on the road, and said to me: "This entire city is actually a logistics base specially built by the ancient Dian Kingdom to facilitate the cultivation of that special kind of Gu insects.
.”
"According to my research, around the 1st century BC, the history of the ancient Dian Kingdom came to an end. At that time, the ancient Dian Kingdom learned about the existence of the Han Dynasty and knew that the last king of the huge Dian Kingdom in the Han Dynasty, because he knew
Unable to fight against the huge Han Dynasty, he turned his ambitions to the pursuit of immortality. Under his order, the people of Dian Kingdom all devoted themselves to the study of immortality tactics."
"At that time, although the technology was backward, the Dian Kingdom mastered a special technology because it was located in the southwest. This technology was considered evil and vicious by the ancients, so it was called evil magic. This evil magic
, is to raise voodoos. According to my point of view, if you look at the art of cultivating voodoos from a scientific perspective, you will find that this kind of evil magic is very similar to today's biological hybrid cultivation technology. They both use different species and interact with each other.
A combination of methods to cultivate new species. However, the art of cultivating voodoo in Dian Kingdom is far beyond the imagination of modern people. By cultivating voodoo, they can cultivate many voodoo insects with special functions. Among them are
There are highly poisonous poisonous insects, and there are also poisonous insects that can kill people alive and turn them into bones. The purpose of the ancient Dian Kingdom was to use the art of cultivating poisonous insects to finally cultivate a kind of poisonous insect that can make people live forever!"
I followed Professor Tang closely, not even daring to make a sound, because I knew that the mystery that had been bothering me since I came to this ruins would finally be solved.
Professor Tang continued: "Almost a week ago, deep in the ruins, we discovered a volcano tunnel leading to another cave inside the volcano. In order to investigate the situation in the other cave, I personally took the lead and organized a
The five-person investigation team went deep into the volcano tunnel and finally came to the cave. Halfway through the tunnel, we found a set of huge murals, which detailed the purpose of the ancient Dian Kingdom's coming here, as well as their
Experiments done in the past.”
"From the murals, the road of cultivating voodoo in ancient Dian was not smooth sailing. They initially used traditional vood-raising techniques to cultivate voodoo worms, but found that although the voodoo worms cultivated by ordinary methods could cure diseases and wounds,
But it is far from being able to make people live forever. At that time, a priest from the Dian Kingdom accidentally discovered a new method of cultivating voodoo, which was to make a voodoo that needs to be cultivated in water to eat human flesh every day.
.This kind of human flesh-eating Gu insect grows several times faster than ordinary Gu insects. The most important thing is that every time it eats human flesh, it will lay eggs, and the eggs are used to cook soup.
It can make people live longer.”
"The discovery of this sacrifice made him immediately summoned by the King of Dian, and he was appointed as the high priest of the Dian Kingdom, with full authority over the cultivation of new Gu insects. In order to improve the effectiveness of the Gu insects, the King of Dian specially summoned the people to gather in a nearby village.
A voodoo village was built at an underground hot spring, and slaves were collected from all over the place, imprisoned in the village, and fed as voodoo feed."
After listening to Professor Tang's words, I immediately thought of the monster I met in Changshou Village, and the underground village I found when I discovered the monster. I originally wanted to speak to Professor Tang to verify whether that place was the place he had just visited.
The village I mentioned, but because I was afraid of disturbing Professor Tang’s thinking, I gave up in the end.
While I was thinking wildly, Professor Tang continued: "At that time, King Dian originally thought that he would become immortal soon, but he didn't expect that when the slaves were asked to experiment with the effects of the new species of Gu, they...
I learned that that kind of poisonous insect has strong side effects. Although its eggs can prolong life, people who eat the eggs can no longer live without the eggs. Once they stop eating the eggs, they will suffer.
's death."
I remained silent behind Professor Tang. I connected the things he just said. Although I dare not make a conclusion, no matter how stupid I am, I can make a rough estimate at this moment. The poisonous insect mentioned by Professor Tang is indeed my longevity.
