Notes on Tomb Raiders of Liu Bowen's Descendants

Chapter 11
Corpses, corpses everywhere.

Densely packed, about ten thousand people, these corpses are lined up in the entire passage, each one maintaining the posture before death.Apparently, they had experienced unbearable pain during their lifetime. All of them were bloody and bloody. Their discolored facial features were distorted and struggling, as if they were screaming and cursing. Very deep.

The most gloomy thing is that these people don't even have an inch of skin on their bodies. It is not rotten, because there is no rotten flesh and smell in the whole passage. Their muscles and blood vessels are exposed to the air. The color of the muscles is The faint yellow is exactly the color of the corpse wax.

The middle-aged man frowned, and asked his subordinates to go over and remove the corpses blocking the way.Those desperadoes who were fearless for a few days lifted the corpse in front of them, and suddenly felt the tentacles were cold and slippery, and a kind of fear and loathing surged in their hearts.

The corpse in the front was obviously a man, who died standing up, his undecomposed lower body was directly pressed against the back of a man's hand, his wide open mouth seemed to twitch strangely, as if he was laughing.A few people felt trembling and walked back in a panic. The middle-aged man looked at them coldly and said, "Why, you've been cowardly since you came in? Are you afraid of a dead person?"

One of them, who seemed to be the leader, couldn't bear the ridicule, so he laughed dryly and said, "Afraid? What are you afraid of? It's true that it's a bit disgusting. I wonder if you would like to pay more?"

"Deal!" Although the middle-aged man was indifferent, he was straightforward. He didn't seem to care that these people took the opportunity to raise the price.Encouraged by the money, several people immediately walked over again, but this time they moved hard, but the corpse did not move at all.

Several people looked at each other, and one of them waved his hand and said, "There must be something tricky, otherwise let's dig up the ground above his head and under his feet." This place is no longer a bluestone ground, but looks like a natural cave.This group of people obviously also brought a shovel, and dug up the ground above the head and feet of the corpse with a few strokes.

There was nothing in the ground under the feet, but in the soil of the corpse's head, a black, hose-like thing could be clearly seen extending from the soil into the skull of the corpse.Or it can be said that something similar to vines was planted in this person's cranial cavity. Because the air humidity was normal, it germinated and grew out, and the roots were deeply rooted in the soil. No wonder it was difficult to move.

A few people did not give up, and continued to move forward to move other corpses, but no matter whether they were sitting or standing, lying or lying down, there were black things growing on these corpses, some on their stomachs, some on their backs A big hole came out, and another one was on the face. A hose like this suddenly appeared between the eyes and the mouth, and the expression on the face looked even weirder.

Several people screamed, and where the corpse was close to the tube, the surrounding muscles could be seen squirming gently, as if a person was breathing.

Finally someone couldn't help it, turned around and ran wildly.

The middle-aged man was really surprised when he saw the countless black tubes exposed in front of his eyes.He wondered in his heart, how did the few people in front walk through this road, and why have they disappeared at this moment?

"Damn, where is this, is it hell?" Chang Sheng vomited until there was nothing to vomit in his stomach, and he still felt sick, and he continued to walk forward while cursing.

In fact, not to mention Chang Sheng, even the experienced Guo Laosi also changed his face, he couldn't hold back a few times, and just vomited for a long time.

Walking carefully through the waxed corpses in front, under the reminder of Guo Laosi, he did not touch those corpses.When entering a tomb, one thing more is worse than one thing less. For unknown things, it is best to avoid them as much as possible.It took the three of them about half a day to come all the way, and all three of them were suffering from backaches.

The three people who had just breathed a long sigh of relief immediately smelled the smell of decay. They had already entered a bigger cave. The three people climbed up a big rock and looked into the distance, only then did they realize what hell is called.

There are rotting corpses everywhere, the abdomens and legs of the corpses are swollen very high, each of them looks like a full-term pregnant woman.Guo Laosi observed for a long time, but found no mechanism, so he walked over with two people.A closer look reveals that only a thin layer of skin remains on these protruding abdomens, thinner than the thinnest paper.With the light of the flashlight in his hand, he could clearly see some black things wriggling like bugs inside.

Walking through the gaps between the corpses, white maggots crawled out of the nose of a corpse, as if greeting Chang Sheng.Chang Sheng retched, he couldn't even spit out the bile in his stomach.

When the white maggot stretched its body triumphantly, a black beetle quickly jumped out of the corpse's mouth. This beetle looked about the size of a thumb, but when it crawled in front of the white maggot, it didn't know Why, it actually got into the belly of the white maggot.The white maggot was stretched into a deformed skin bag by the beetle. In an instant, the beetle crawled out of the maggot's stomach. Obviously, the maggot's flesh and body fluids were swallowed up by the beetle, leaving only a piece of skin hanging on the nose of the corpse, like a corpse. A shrunken white slip of paper.

"Swallowing insects!" Guo Boss yelled, "Don't move, don't let it touch you." Hearing what he said, Chang Sheng also knew how powerful he was, and immediately jumped back and forth to dodge the insect. He stepped on the belly of a corpse next to him, and the belly burst open like a balloon being pricked by needles, but no flesh and internal organs splashed out, only hundreds of devouring worms appeared on the ground in a dark mass. above.

Chang Sheng stomped his feet frantically, and Guo Laosi shouted hoarsely for him to come to himself and Liu Ji.The two stood on a relatively high ground. Guo Laosi poured out some sulfur powder mixed with realgar from his backpack, sprinkled it in a circle, and then quickly ignited the sulfur powder. A scorched black man appeared beside the two of them. The circle exudes a peculiar smell.

Because he had to pay attention to his feet while running, Chang Sheng's speed was a little slow. When he was about to run to the edge of the circle, he yelled, fell to the ground with a plop, then hugged his legs with both hands, and started rolling back and forth!
Seeing that the distance was not far, Liu Ji and Guo Laosi ran out and dragged Chang Sheng into the circle, followed by devouring insects like a flood, and advanced a few meters away from the circle, as if they saw something frightening and did not move at all. It stopped there without moving.

Guo Laosi let out a long breath and said: "Look at this kid's injury quickly, otherwise the devouring insects have entered the blood vessels, even if a god descends to earth, he will not be able to save this kid's life!" After finishing speaking, Guo Laosi was surprised. Did not hear Liu Ji's response.He looked up, only to realize that Liu Ji was looking towards where they came from.It was as if the sun had come out there, and the bright light was flickering, which was extraordinarily dazzling.

Liu Ji sighed, "I know, those corpses are kindling seeds, but why did they suddenly light up?" Guo Lao Si was stunned and understood what Liu Ji said.The reason why the ever-burning lamps seen in the ancestral hall and the track leading to the ancestral hall are able to last is probably because of the supplementation of these corpse wax-those pipes are probably directly connected to the corpse, and the heat of combustion is used to cooperate with other mechanisms to pressurize the pipes , Continuously extracting corpse wax to replenish lamp oil.As long as these corpses are not used up, those lights will not go out.

"Someone followed?" Guo Lao Si suddenly said with a dark face.This means that someone will share half or more of the kiln.

And the time these people pinched was just after the three of them entered the tomb passage.From this point of view, it is likely to be prepared.

Obviously, this raging fire could not have started by itself.If the place was so poorly designed that the fire could burn itself, it would be impossible for this ancestral hall and mysterious cemetery to survive to this day.

Everyone secretly guessed, each with their own thoughts.In the corpse tunnel, the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses no longer had the composure and indifference before. He jumped and cursed loudly: "Idiot! A bunch of idiots!"Several people went up and down again, and found that no matter how they moved, they still couldn't do anything to these corpses.Impulsively, someone directly chopped over the corpse with a shovel, and a viscous yellow liquid flowed out from the wound of the corpse, which shocked several people. They hurried back to observe for a long time before they were assured that this thing was disgusting and harmless to people. harm.

One of them lit a cigarette, walked over and said, "Damn, I thought it was so powerful, isn't it just some dead people?" After finishing speaking, he casually threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and the red cigarette When it touched the viscous liquid, a blue flame suddenly burst out.

Caught off guard, this person was caught in the fire and set his trouser legs on fire, and hurriedly exited the fire scene. Several brothers had already come up to help him extinguish the flame, but the blue flame immediately stuck to the hands and bodies of these people as soon as he was slapped. The human skin burns more vigorously.

The burning area on several people's bodies was getting bigger and bigger, and the fat in their bodies seemed to be being drawn out continuously, and finally turned into burning skin sacs covered with bones. They all turned into fat, oil and water, and were burnt to nothing like a large lantern.

The middle-aged man and the secretary turned their heads and vomited wildly. In an instant, the people who fell on the ground spread out together with the viscous liquid that had been burning bigger and bigger. Tens of thousands of corpses were ignited one by one, like large candles. , and there was no smoke, it burned quietly, and finally turned into pools of water.

The temperature in the entire passage suddenly rose, and the middle-aged man and the secretary couldn't resist, and retreated quickly. "Idiots! A bunch of idiots! This delay may delay my big event!" The middle-aged man shouted angrily.

Seeing his fury, the secretary followed behind him without saying a word, holding his pistol tightly in his hand.

Guo Laosi tore off Chang Sheng's pants and asked, "Boy, do you feel any discomfort now? If so, use your hands to pinch the muscles there!" Chang Sheng's lips were blue and his face was pale. On a piece of paper, on the position of the calf, there is a walking bulge under the muscle, like a little mouse crawling inside his body, slowly moving upwards.

"How is it?" Liu Ji asked Guo Laosi, Guo Laosi staggered backwards so that Chang Sheng could not see his movements, he shook his head, meaning to tell Liu Ji that it was too late.

There was a gloomy look in Liu Ji's eyes, and he gestured for Mr. Guo to go aside and talk to him.Guo Laosi took out the bandages from his bag and firmly tied a knot on each of Chang Sheng's calves. Then he got up and walked towards a corner next to him.

Devouring worms, also known as devouring worms.

Although this thing is small in size, it has a remarkable origin.Before the Song Dynasty, there was no record of this insect in any classics left by Tu Xing.This shows that this thing appeared after the Song Dynasty.
