Chapter 85 The Three-legged Toad
"These two holes are oddly shaped, could they be keyholes?"

Hu Bayi pointed to the two holes on the bronze box and said curiously.

Xu wished with a chuckle, and said, "Fatty, bring the sacrificial vessel of the dragon-tiger staff that you took out of the jade coffin."

"That's right, these two holes seem to be very similar in size to the dragon's head and tiger's head of the scepter!"

Shirley Yang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in surprise.

Seeing that the fat man excitedly took out the dragon and tiger short staff from his bag, his hair was about to go in.

Hu Bayi hurriedly stopped him, "Fatty, don't worry, we still don't know whether the correct answer is dragon head or tiger head."

"If it is inserted wrongly, maybe it will trigger something like poisonous smoke from the mechanism?"

Yes!

The fat man immediately calmed down, and then looked at the wish, after all, it was proposed by the wish, and in his mind, the wish is omnipotent.

"It's the leader!"

After making a wish and pretending to observe, he said affirmatively.

At that moment, the four of them no longer hesitated, but to be on the safe side, they hid behind the vajra umbrella propped up by Shirley Yang.

Only then slowly pushed the other side of the faucet into the slot, only heard a "click", the bronze box shook, the mechanism operated, and the box lid opened without any accidents.

Seeing nothing, the four of them put the searchlight in.

I saw that the inside of the box was divided into three compartments, most of which were soaked in black water, and three strange things were soaked in it.

Fatty couldn't wait a long time ago, picked up the probe claws and plunged into the black water in the first grid, and fished out the contents.

This is a wax egg.

After knocking off the outer shell, inside is a dark blue clay pot with multiple layers of protection.

When I opened it, there was a pool of clear water soaking a fist-sized abnormally delicate green jade fetus.

"what is this?"

Hu Bayi asked out loud.

"This should be the oldest artifact used by the local barbarians of Zhelong Mountain to worship the mountain god."

"In the barren frontiers in the past, most of the barbarians had the custom of reproductive worship, which is related to the harsh living environment in remote areas in ancient times."

Wishing lightly explained that he was not interested in this thing, and as he said that, he picked up the paw and touched the thing in another grid.

This is a big skin bag, the skin is the fur of a clouded leopard, and there are gold and silver threads tattooed on it, all of which are patterns of spells and secret words.

When I opened it, there were scattered skeletons of some humanoid mandrills inside.

The four of them naturally had no interest in these things, so they threw them aside.

Wishing turned his attention to the last grid, which contained a small copper box.

He knew that there was what he was looking for, the three-legged toad.

Just when they opened the copper box with their claws, revealing the blue three-legged toad inside, a familiar crying sound exploded in their ears.

The corner of Wishing's mouth twitched, what should come, really can't escape.

Look back.

I saw a baby insect that hatched at an unknown time, with its four petals of ferocious mouth wide open, and rushed towards Shirley Yang.

Swish!
At the critical moment, the Seven Star Longquan Sword in Wishing's hand had already been swung out, and the cold sword light lit up.

Disgusting turbid blood splattered, and when the baby insect was still in mid-air, it had already been split in half by the wishing sword.

"Brother, why do I feel something is wrong? You said earlier that those insect babies were hatched from the cocoons behind the female corpses, but there are thousands of female corpses around here!"

Seeing this scene, Hu Bayi woke up suddenly, and cold sweat fell from his head like a waterfall.

He has realized something.

It is certainly not a coincidence that the baby worms encountered in the first half of the underground space and the baby worms that popped up now.

After Hu Bayi's reminder, Shirley Yang and Fatty also realized something, and looked at the female corpse that was constantly floating towards them in horror.

From their point of view, those countless glowing female corpses were no longer corpses that did not threaten them, but thousands of insect babies that were enough to gnaw all the bones they gnawed.

Those are all life-threatening brats!

"I think that these baby insects were dormant quietly in the cocoons behind the female corpse before. It should be that the red mist spewed by Huo's undead insects has special ingredients in it to make them sleep peacefully."

"But now Huo's Undead Worm is half dead, and has no strength to spit out the crimson mist anymore. In other words, the baby insects held by those female corpses are about to wake up from their deep sleep and hatch out."

Wishing with a grin, he returned quietly.

This situation is expected.

"Then why are we still here?"

"The big worm blocking the road can't move anymore, and the baby in its belly has been taken out. If it doesn't run now, when will it be?"

Fatty looked at the brightly lit exit about 200 meters ahead, and couldn't help urging anxiously.

No matter how brave a person is, in the face of thousands of human-eating insect babies, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to resist it head-on?

"Then here comes the problem. If we don't want to kill tens of thousands of insect babies, even if we find Muchen Bead from Xianwang's Tomb, how will we go back then? Crossing the dangerous and unpredictable poison barrier of insect valley?"

Wishing lightly snorted, weighing the three-legged toad in his hand.

Suddenly, under the astonished eyes of the three people, Wishing threw the three-legged toad into the air.

Bang bang bang!
A muffled gunshot rang out, and the seemingly expensive thing was smashed into pieces by the wish!

"Brother... Could it be that the three-legged toad is related to these baby insects?"

Before Lao Hu and Fatty exclaimed, Shirley Yang asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, I just observed that the ecological environment here is the same as in ancient times. It should be the problem of the three-legged toad."

"I once read it in an ancient book. It is a strange ore that can affect the environment in a certain range of space and maintain the high-oxygen environment of the Triassic."

"The creatures here, including Huo's undead worms and insect babies, have adapted to the environment here for thousands of years."

"Once the thing is destroyed, the environment will change suddenly, and we don't need to do it. By the time we return the same way, they will all be dead."

"Otherwise, [-] insect babies are enough to drag us to death, and we won't be able to kill them even if we are exhausted."

While speaking, Wishing had already signaled several people to pack their bags and go into the water to swim towards the exit ahead, while he naturally walked on the water.

Hu Bayi and the others are no strangers to this kind of ability. They have already explained to the three of them by making a wish just now.

At this time, the cocoons behind the female corpses in the water and the bottom of the water began to hear dense cracking sounds that made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

The four of them knew that it should be the thousands of baby insects that were about to hatch.
