Chapter 25 Corpse Worm Riot
"You also heard that voice, right?" Shu San and the others didn't dare to move, and I confirmed with them whether I had misheard the voice just now, or what.

"We heard it too, like the sound of the coffin lid falling to the ground." Shu San swallowed, they all heard it.

I took a flashlight to shine in the tomb passage, and a small figure flashed in the light of my flashlight in the tomb behind us, and it disappeared at the corner of the tomb passage in a flash.

We don't know how many turns we have turned now. If we chase this kid, we might get lost, so we should just go straight ahead.

Shu San and I told them what I meant, "You can also say what you think, we are grasshoppers on the same rope now, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Why don't we just ignore it." Li Jian was the first to speak. I knew what he was thinking, and I wanted to find the funeral objects inside as soon as possible.The previous series of events had already made him panic.

This time, everyone had almost the same idea. They felt that the little ghost was not a threat, and they still had to track it down. They didn't know that it would be a waste of time. They might as well take advantage of this time to find the main tomb.

We discussed and moved on. The current tomb passage is a little different from the previous one. There are many large and small holes on it, some of which are as big as a fist. I took a flashlight to see that there is something inside!
I didn’t expect that my boring actions would lead to a small worm curled up in these holes, some big and some small, but judging from the structure of their bodies and the hard shell on their backs, these worms should be corpse turtles up.

From a cursory look, there are probably thousands of such holes on this wall, some of which are particularly large, but luckily they are all asleep.

I took a few steps back cautiously, Shu San and the others were vaguely headed by me now, seeing me like this, they quickly moved a little away from the wall.

"Be careful. If you have wounds on your body, don't let the blood flow out. These corpses can eat you up in an instant." I glanced at the man who was still in a coma. Fortunately, the smell of blood on his body was not very strong.

"Then why don't they come out now?" Xiaotong was still a little curious. Master once introduced this kind of insect to us. He only said at that time that this insect lives by eating carrion and is naturally afraid of fire.

"Because the temperature is not enough, they all fell into a deep sleep. If we had lit the torches, they might all be eaten up by now." I shook the flashlight in my hand, modern technology is still somewhat effective.

Walking all the way, this wall should be specially made, and the materials on it are made of sand that can make holes for corpse turtles.

If a tomb robber comes in, they will definitely be eaten up after passing here, just like the corpse we see now.

I don't know why this person came here, but the bones on his body are still intact, and there are actually small gaps in the bones, which seem to be gnawed by those corpses.

This gave me another level of understanding of their fighting power. They can even bite off the bones. This kind of corpse turtle is simply a fighting machine, and there are so many keys.

I glanced at the wall like a beehive, feeling a little queasy, I'd better get out of this place as soon as possible.

Soon we came to the end, there is only one tomb here, and there is no other way.

Could this be the main tomb?No, it's impossible. I denied my guess in my heart. Although we just turned a lot of corners, we didn't even reach the inner tomb. There must be some mechanism in the tomb that allows us to continue walking.

After entering the tomb, the place is much more luxurious. There is a bronze coffin in the center. Coffins made of this material were rare in ancient times. Why is there a coffin here?
Is this really the main tomb?Something wrong with my guess?
"Ah..." The man's terrified cry pulled me out of my contemplation.

My flashlight was reflexively directed at the source of the sound, and now even I took a breath, what a crazy person can do.

I took photos of the four corners of the tomb, and sure enough, there were four children’s corpses kneeling in the four corners of the tomb. They were rubbed with antiseptic spices and mercury, and a thin white pillar protruded from their heads. Eternal Lantern Boy!

At that time, all the nobles believed in the theory of reincarnation, and they all hoped that they would become immortals, so when someone died, they would buy some children from everywhere to use as lantern boys.

Lantern Boys are also divided into several levels, such as Lantern Boys, Eternal Light Boys, Corpse Oil Lantern Boys and so on.

What is presented before our eyes is the most insane kind.

The most common lantern boy is to cast a child into a bronze statue and place it in the corner of the tomb to represent following the owner of the tomb.

Those children are all knocked out before they can become the lantern boy. Because the kids can't control their expressions and movements, it's only when they're knocked out that they can pose as they want.

Corpse oil lamp children want the soul of the child and the oil in the body. Generally, the child is raised to be extremely fat, and then the oil in the child's body is slowly squeezed out.

When children die in pain, their souls will also exist in the corpse oil. At this time, as long as the lamps are lit, those children will come out, which is also one of the ways to prevent tomb robbers from stealing.

However, very few tomb robbers would foolishly light those corpse oil lamps that look wrong, so my master said that this kind of lamp boy is rare.

The last type is Changming Lantern Boys. This kind of lamp boy children are killed alive, and copper pipes for placing lamp oil are inserted into their heads, and these children have their heads.

Then pour the hot lamp oil. At this time, the children are the most painful. They will also be coated with a thick layer of mercury to prevent corrosion. Now we can see that the lamp on the head of the strange lamp boy can still be lit.

And the most important thing is that their souls will be trapped in the body, and we will also have hallucinations after staying in the tomb for a long time.

Seeing the appearance of those four children, Shu San and the others were startled, they had never seen such a weird lampstand, and Li Ming wanted to touch it, but I sternly stopped him.

The mercury in those children has certain toxins, and their resentment accumulated for thousands of years will definitely explode once they meet strangers. We are not enough for him to drink a pot.

Just as we were looking for the entrance of the inner tomb, a burst of children's laughter made our hair stand on end.

Now not only me, even Shu San and the others can hear clearly.

The child's laughter was slowly approaching, followed by the sound of carapace rubbing against each other.

No, I suddenly thought of the corpse turtle outside, and rushed out with a flashlight. Sure enough, at the other end of the corpse turtle corridor, there was a child in white with weird blush on his face and a smile on his mouth. Eyes without half of the white of the eye are like the pupils of the devil.

Seeing me come out, it threw the corpse of the zombie we killed before against the wall in its hand, and the sound of carapace rubbing came from the hole one after another, these corpse turtles are about to wake up!
I regret it a little now. I knew that I should have caught this kid first. Now I am really in a dilemma. Some fast-moving corpses have crawled out. The corpses on the ground have attracted their attention. We still have a little time.

The kid smiled again, and then disappeared around the corner where we came. I sighed helplessly, and then ran back.

Now I just hope that we can find the entrance quickly, otherwise, the corpse turtle will soon come over when it senses the aura of strangers. Thinking about thousands of corpse turtles swarming over, we can't stop it at all.

"Just now that kid caught up again and released the corpse turtle. Let's look for the entrance everywhere, remember not to touch those lamp boys." I explained, Shu San and the others quickly distributed into the tomb and began to find the entrance. .

I was also looking around for loose stones on the wall. At this moment, Jun Siyan suddenly said, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

"What do you mean?" I was a little confused, the most dangerous place is the safest place?
Where is the most dangerous place here... the coffin!Bronze coffins are the most dangerous!By the way, we are all limited by our own solidified thinking. There may be zombies in the coffin, so we dare not open it, let alone it is bronze.

This brought us to a stalemate, no one thought of opening the coffin under the impact of the corpse turtle!

After I figured it out, everything was easy to handle. Small corpses had already started to enter the tomb, but my mood improved a lot.

"Shu San, come and help me open this bronze coffin." I called them over, Shu San and they didn't understand what I'm doing now, but I don't have so much time to explain to them now, the corpse turtle will come over soon .

Shu San and the others saw that I was not joking, so they gritted their teeth and began to work. There are also coffin nails on the bronze coffin, which are a little rusty due to long-term oxidation, and it is easy to pry them up.

As expected, Shu San and the others specialize in doing this, they have all kinds of tools, and they pried open all the coffin nails in a short while.

Under my instruction, Shu San and the others worked together to push the lid of the coffin away, and I felt a little nervous. If there was a powerful zombie inside, we would really be hurt.

There are more and more corpses outside, there is no other way, I can only block it with kerosene at the door with Xiao Tong, the flames are so bright that even the corpses who are afraid of fire dare not come in again.

The lid of the coffin was pushed open by a third, revealing a dead body, my pupils shrank suddenly, this dead body was strange, white feathers grew on its body!

For a while, no one dared to speak, so I calmed down and remembered what Master said to me at the beginning, the ancients pursued immortality, so it is very important to choose a good Fengshui position.

The position of the yin eye is a big ominous one, but as long as the yin eye can be blocked, the owner of the tomb will be nourished by the yin energy, and the corpse will not rot.

Now it seems that the location of the corpse should be Yinyan, and the coffin lid suddenly moved at this moment.

I secretly thought it was bad, this zombie must have felt the breath of a living person and revived.
