Professor Tang looked at this stone wall and said to me: "This stone wall was built by the last warriors of the ancient Dian Kingdom with their lives. Opposite this stone wall is the nest of the deformed Gu insect. You
look……"
As he spoke, Professor Tang shone a flashlight on the small hole, and the footprints near the entrance were clearly visible under the light.
Professor Tang immediately frowned and said, "Oh no, Officer Hu and the others should have already gone in."
Hearing what Professor Tang said, I suddenly became anxious. Thinking of the dangers in the nest, I became worried about Lin Qianyi's safety. So I said: "Then what are we waiting for? Professor Tang, let's go in too.
Find them?"
As I said that, I bent down and was about to crawl into the hole, but Professor Tang grabbed me and said, "Comrade Lin, you have to be mentally prepared. It may be too late for us to go in now, and maybe Officer Hu and others
We have already encountered an unexpected situation. I think it is better for us to stay here."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Professor Tang, what you are talking about is just a possibility. Officer Hu and others have guns, and my colleague is also very alert, so it is possible that they are safe and sound until now?"
Professor Tang glanced at me: "Since you insist on going in to find them, that's fine. But you must remember that once you go in, even if you find them, you must keep your distance from them. The imitations of those deformed Gu insects
There are almost no flaws in their ability. Whether it is appearance or memory, they will become the same as the real person. So even if we take them out of here, we must keep a distance from them. Then we will find a way to confirm who is the real person.
Before the Gu worm changes, we absolutely cannot trust any of them!"
I nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Professor Tang, I understand, let's go in first and talk about it later!"
Professor Tang glanced at me, shook his head helplessly, and did not continue to speak.
After drilling through the hole in the stone wall, the Gu insect nest mentioned earlier appeared in front of us.
There is no light in the dark lair. We can only see the road ahead clearly with the flashlight in our hands. But because of the water vapor in the lair, the light of the flashlight can only see a few meters in front of us. Any further away, it is completely invisible.
It turned into a vast expanse of white, as if there was heavy fog in the cave.
Professor Tang reminded me at this time: "Comrade Lin, pay attention to the small holes on the rock walls on both sides."
Small cave? Where are the small caves? I looked along the light of Professor Tang's flashlight, and found that on the cave wall around us, there were indeed small caves of different sizes. These caves were densely packed and looked like
It's like lotus pod milk. Although I don't have trypophobia, I was still quite frightened by the number of caves.
When I raised the flashlight to see what was in these caves, Professor Tang grabbed me and said, "Comrade Lin, are you crazy? Didn't I remind you to pay attention to these small holes?"
"No..." I pointed to the caves and explained, "I just want to see what's inside..."
Professor Tang said: "No need to look, there is nothing in those small caves now, but according to the murals outside, those deformed Gu insects lived in these small caves thousands of years ago!"
"What? Are those monsters in these small holes?" I was shocked. I took a flashlight and looked around again. I found that it was not just the place that Professor Tang illuminated just now, but also around me, basically except under my feet.
They are all small holes with bumps and bumps. There are probably tens of thousands of them. With so many small holes, even if there is only one deformed Gu worm in each cave, it is impossible for us to cope with it, right?
Fortunately, Professor Tang told me at this time that probably because of the passage of time, all the Gu insects that originally lived in these caves have long since died. Only in the deepest part of this nest can there be Gu insects.
Insect infestation.
"So we must hurry up, otherwise if Officer Hu and the others have entered the innermost part, they will be really in danger."
We speed up Gabu and keep moving forward.
After walking for a while, I suddenly discovered that the shape of this Gu insect nest might be a gourd shape, because the further I walked, the surrounding space became larger and larger. I asked Professor Tang how big it was here, and he told me that
, according to the depictions of the ancient Dian people on the murals, this cave is probably one-third the size of the cave outside.
"What? It's just a nest for raising poisonous insects. Are those Dian people crazy or something? Is it necessary to find such a big place?"
As soon as I finished complaining, something hard suddenly fell on my head. The thing was not light, but not heavy either. It was just like a ball of thread used by ordinary people to tie sweaters at home.
portion size.
The thing rolled over my head for a while and then fell to the ground. But when I shined a flashlight over it to see what it was, the thing suddenly crawled away from the ground!
"Professor Tang, that is..."
I was just about to ask Professor Tang if he had seen the thing clearly, but I saw him raising his hand towards me and saying, "Wait a minute, Comrade Lin, did you hear any sounds around you?"
sound?
I pricked up my ears, and sure enough I heard a series of strange sounds around me. The sounds sounded very small at first, but in the blink of an eye they became numerous and kept echoing around us. It sounded like many people were whispering.
Same, it makes people's skin crawl.
I tightened my throat, and just when I was trying to find the source of those sounds, in an instant...
"Oops, run!" Professor Tang suddenly raised his voice and shouted in my ear. Then, it seemed like it was raining heavily, and countless small black shadows fell from the sky, pattering down.
They were countless small black bugs. These small bugs looked like ladybugs, but their bodies were completely black. These small bugs began to crawl all over the ground around us, and then climbed onto our shoes.
, and climbs up along the legs of our trousers.
"This is……"
"Hurry! Drive them away! These are the monster crustaceans we encountered!"
Hearing Professor Tang's words, I quickly stretched out my hand to knock off the bugs on my pants, but just as I swept away dozens of bugs, suddenly, a bug jumped onto my outstretched palm, and the next moment
, I felt a stinging pain in my hand. When I looked at it with a flashlight, I discovered that a small piece of flesh had been bitten on my palm.
Oh my gosh, these little ugly bugs are actually carnivorous! Only then did I understand why the archaeological team at that time was in confusion when they encountered these bugs.
On the other side, Professor Tang also kept sweeping away the bugs with a flashlight. He swept away the bugs crawling on his body and trampled them to death. Then he shouted to me: "Go quickly! You can't stay here!"
There were more and more bugs around. Even if I didn't have time to shine a flashlight, I could still hear the crawling sounds of those little bugs. They were so densely packed that it made my scalp tense.
Seeing the insects around me quickly swarming around me, I didn’t even think about it. I took off my backpack and used it like a broom to sweep through the insect swarm. At the same time, I didn’t dare to look in which direction I was facing, so I just kept my head down.
Run forward.
At this time, more and more bugs were falling from the sky, and these bugs were still clumping together. Hundreds of them fell densely together at a time, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
In order to avoid these descending insects, Professor Tang and I were forced to get farther and farther away during our escape. When I saw that Professor Tang’s flashlight was getting farther and farther away from me, I wanted to call him out.
, everything is too late.
After I avoided another group of insects falling from the sky, the light of the flashlight in Professor Tang's hand completely disappeared from my eyes.
Only then did I realize that I had become separated from Professor Tang.
"well!"
I stamped my feet in annoyance, knowing that it was impossible to meet up with Professor Tang now, so I continued to run forward with my head buried in an attempt to avoid the attack of these black monsters behind me.
In the darkness, I didn't know how far I ran. Suddenly, I found that the crawling sounds of the little bugs around me seemed to have disappeared.
