Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 78
Yeah!

After a while, Gan Hongxin cried out in surprise, and took out a jade bracelet from under the woman's body. The emerald green jade was glowing with a faint green light. There was no flaw in the jade, and it was the best jade at first glance.

"This is mine!" Gan Hongxin was not polite, opened the front of his clothes, and put the jade bracelet close to his body.

"Bastard, you're so unkind!" Song Mingqiu cursed secretly, and stretched out his sinful hand.But what he touched was the front of the female corpse, and he took out a pair of jade earrings from the chest of the female corpse in two or three strokes, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.This guy is very wretched. While touching the treasure, he also touched the firm chest of the female corpse, and said with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, it's very flexible!"

Professor Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't you two boys think about taking it all for yourself. The treasure you find will be shared equally with everyone. This is not your personal discovery, but the discovery of the entire team!"

Han Jing nodded: "I agree, this is only fair!"

"Whoever dares to swallow it alone, I will kill him!" Hao Mengkang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his tone was cold and without any emotion.If the guy doesn't talk, we'll pretty much forget about him.

Gan Hongxin and Song Mingqiu looked at Hao Mengkang's stern gaze, but they didn't dare to say "no", they honestly took out the treasure they put in their pockets and put it on the ground.

Song Mingqiu giggled dryly: "Don't take it seriously, how could I take it all by myself, it's just talk!"

Gan Hongxin also echoed: "That's right, we still understand the rules in the world!"

Gu Meidi pulled me and asked quietly: "Do you really want them to steal these ancient relics?"

I said: "Professor Ye has already acquiesced, what can we say? Turn a blind eye and close one eye, it will not be easy for others to follow us to the desert!"

Gu Meidi probably also felt the reason, sighed slightly, and said nothing more.

"Strange, how did this woman's belly get bigger?" Song Mingqiu's hands had already touched the woman's swollen belly.

"The stomach is getting bigger? How is it possible?" We leaned over to take a look, and felt that the belly of the female corpse seemed to be really swollen.

"Oh my God!" Song Mingqiu screamed suddenly, retracting his hands like an electric shock, his teeth rattled: "She... her stomach is moving..."

This woman has been dead for more than a thousand years, why is her stomach still moving?
"Could it be... Could it be a ghost fetus?" Gan Hongxin also backed away involuntarily.

In our archaeological business, I have heard of all kinds of strange things, and I have also heard the legend about ghost fetuses.It is said that some women who died of pregnancy had a lot of resentment, and the resentment in the body could not be dissipated after death, and all the resentment was absorbed by the fetus in the stomach.The fetus in the stomach grows slowly relying on this resentment, and finally breaks out of the body, turning into a terrifying ghost fetus.At this moment, when Gan Hongxin suddenly mentioned ghost fetuses, my heart was still slightly trembling.

Under our surprised eyes, the belly of the female corpse is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like something is about to break out.

We took out our weapons at the same time and surrounded the female corpse. As long as there is any ghost thing coming out, it will definitely be wiped out in an instant.

The bottom of the tower was very quiet. We watched the female corpse with bated breath, not even daring to breathe.

Suddenly, with a bang, the female corpse's stomach burst open, and a black tide gushed out of the female corpse's broken belly in an instant, and came to our feet in a blink of an eye.

We were startled suddenly, and looked down at our feet. It turned out that the black tide on the ground turned out to be countless dark brown insects.This kind of insect looks a bit like a spider, but its body is thin and long like an ant. Its short front legs have shovel-shaped claws, which is weird and ugly.

The knowledgeable Gu Mei flute called out the name of the insect at once: "Mole crickets! These are mole crickets!"

I suddenly thought of a question. One of the guesses in the mystery of the disappearance of Loulan is that the invasion of mole crickets caused the demise of Loulan. At this moment, there are so many mole crickets here. Could it be that the demise of Loulan is really related to this insect?As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help feeling cold all over my body, and I retreated while pulling the ancient flute.

These mole crickets are much larger than ordinary mole crickets. They crawled very fast in the sand and soon covered the entire bottom of the tower. We had no place to stay.These mole crickets are extremely aggressive. They raised their claws and clamped our trouser legs. We never thought that there was a nest of insects in the belly of the female corpse, and we were at a loss for a while.

Professor Ye said in a deep voice: "Get out of here quickly! These mole crickets crawled out of the woman's corpse, and they may contain corpse poison. Don't be bitten by them, or you may be infected with corpse poison!"

Fortunately, the military boots and combat uniforms we wore were of good quality, and those mole crickets couldn't bite through them for a while.But what's terrible is that both of our arms are exposed to the air, and these mole crickets are winged insects. They flew up with a buzzing sound, like a black whirlwind rising from the flat ground. Just surround us in the middle.

We were a little panicked, and the weapons in our hands were useless, so we could only wave our arms desperately to drive away the mole crickets flying in front of us.Thousands of mole crickets flew around inside the pagoda, making a dense buzzing sound, which sounded even more frightening than the sizzling sounds of the snakes outside.

In a critical moment, the experienced Professor Ye had a solution. He pulled out a cold light stick, beat it twice, and threw it into a far corner.The cold light stick instantly lit up, and the light attracted those mole crickets. With a buzzing sound, hundreds of mole crickets rushed over at once, covering a thick layer, swallowing up the light from the cold light stick.

We were pleasantly surprised that this was a good idea, so we quickly took out more cold light sticks and threw them in all directions.The mole crickets flying around us buzzed away and rushed towards the cold light sticks respectively. The dangerous situation was finally temporarily relieved.

"Go!" We must take this opportunity to escape from the pagoda.

The climbing rope can only go up one person at a time, but fortunately there are pulleys on the rope, and the speed of ascent is quite fast. We climbed out of the pagoda one by one, and we never wanted to stay here for a while.

"Song Mingqiu, what the hell are you still doing down there? Come up!" Gan Hongxin came out of the cave, turned around and shouted at Song Mingqiu at the bottom of the pagoda.

But Song Mingqiu seemed deaf to Gan Hongxin's call, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked towards the female corpse, picked up the golden mask from the mole cricket crowd, and put it into his arms in a panic.

Gan Hongxin scolded: "You really want money, not your life!"

"I'll come up now..." Song Mingqiu happily waved his hand up, but just as he opened his mouth, a mole cricket flew into his mouth.

"Uh..." Song Mingqiu threw away the golden mask violently, and wrapped his hands tightly around his neck, with a painful expression on his face.The mole cricket slid down his throat.Song Mingqiu's trachea was blocked, and he couldn't breathe immediately, his face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, and he turned over and fell to the ground.

Before Song Mingqiu got up from the ground, a group of mole crickets flew over and covered Song Mingqiu's body in a dense layer. They used their claws to cut open his skin, and burrowed into his body. Soon Song Mingqiu stopped moving. It became a worm full of holes, and there were mole crickets constantly crawling in and out of his body, and its appearance was extremely terrifying.

"Wow!" Gan Hongxin couldn't hold back for a while, and vomited out in disgust.

Dawn rose above the horizon in the early morning, and the edge of the sandy sea was dyed blood red by the morning light. The sky began to brighten, and the group of rattlesnakes under the tower slowly dispersed, and the ruined ancient Loulan kingdom returned to dead silence.

Lao Luo extinguished the dry tobacco: "Let's go, we can go down!"

Before leaving, Professor Ye poured two cans of liquid fuel into the pagoda, lit the windproof lighter and threw it down.The liquid fuel was ignited, and the stupa suddenly burst into flames, and pieces of mole crickets rolled and crackled in the sea of ​​flames.

We left the pagoda, looked back, and saw billowing thick smoke coming out of the cave above the pagoda, emitting a foul smell.Song Mingqiu's death was still floating before our eyes, we quickened our pace and quickly walked out through the city.

We hardly rested all night, and felt very sleepy, our bodies were like the soft sea surface, and all the strength in our bodies seemed to be drained.After walking in the desert for a long time, we were a bit overwhelmed, so after discussing, we decided to take a nap and keep our energy before moving on.

I was indeed exhausted, and soon I closed my eyelids and fell into a drowsy sleep.

I had another dream. I dreamed that I fell into the water. The water was extremely cold. I struggled desperately to get out of the water, but my limbs seemed to be frozen and I couldn’t even move. I can only watch myself slowly sinking into the dark water bit by bit...

At this moment, I heard Wang Dongyu's high-pitched voice: "What the hell is this weather? Why is it snowing?"

What?Snowing?
I was slightly taken aback, trying to open my heavy eyelids, the originally crimson sky had now turned into a gray patch, and the fiery red sun was also hidden behind the clouds and disappeared without a trace.The snowflakes all over the sky fell down one after another, like white butterflies flying all over the sky.The snow came fiercely, and the yellow desert was soon covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost. The sky and the ground were pure white.

This sudden blizzard made us dumbfounded. Why is it snowing like goose feathers in this furnace-like desert?If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it was all true.It is so strange that there is heavy snow in the desert, which completely violates the laws of nature!
