Caught In Grave Robbery: Is It Illegal To Dig Up My Own Ancestral Grave?

Chapter Six: Octopus Tree! Another dead end!

The words fell.

Qin Chuan retreated quickly.

He never expected it.

The second floor of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor turned out to be that kind of thing!

pity--

It's too late!

Bo, bo...

The sound of breaking ground continued to sound.

Suddenly vines sprouted out around Qin Chuan.

Each vine is as thick as an adult's arm and surrounds Qin Chuan one by one.

"Octopus tree!"

Qin Chuan looked solemn and pulled out the black gold ancient on his back.

This thing is extremely difficult to deal with.

The attack power is not strong.

However, this thing is often the nest of corpse crickets!

The octopus tree also has several names.

One is the Devil's Tree.

Another one is snake cypress!

The prototype of the hydra cypress is the octopus tree.

Qin Chuan was still curious before.

Why are there plants in this second space?

It turns out it’s because of the existence of the octopus tree!

Octopus trees can entangle creatures and kill them.

The rancid smell then attracts insects to spread pollination.

These plants must have been brought by those insects.

Naturally, it cannot grow without the octopus tree.

What is the favorite thing about corpses in a tomb?

That must be a zombie!

Corpse crickets grow up eating carrion. Where there are corpses, there are corpse crickets!

The octopus tree uses carrion to attract insects, and naturally it can also attract corpse flies!

And corpse frog dung——

The poop will become the nourishment of this area!

The two coexist!

Thus creating this green space!

The sound Qin Chuan heard before was not a bell at all.

It's the cry of the corpse cricket!

only--

The sound is uneven, so it sounds like the sound of a bell.

really!

next moment--

The rustling sounds kept ringing.

Densely packed corpses emerged from the ground!

Swarming towards Qin Chuan like a tide of insects!

"Cut it off!"

Qin Chuan swept out with the ancient black gold sword.

The blade cut through the space and struck the octopus tree with a whistling sound.

Ding dong!

Unexpectedly, there was a sound like the collision of steel!

certainly.

Two vines broke at the sound.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but frown.

Something's wrong!

Something is very wrong!

The sharpness of the black gold ancient sword cannot be overemphasized.

But it is impossible to make the sound of steel colliding when it is cut on the vines.

so--

There's something wrong with this vine!

but.

Reality did not allow him to think too much.

The corpse locust is approaching.

He had to fight his way out.

Otherwise, you will be besieged by zombies, and the consequences will be disastrous!

Holding the black gold ancient sword, one after another the vines were cut off.

Qin Chuan also took advantage of the opportunity to break through the blockade of the octopus tree.

He stepped a little further.

The body rose into the air and landed in another place.

Look again at the place where you were standing before.

Already occupied by zombies.

The vines cut off by Qin Chuan were eaten up directly.

"There's something wrong with this corpse cricket..."

Looking at the corpses, Qin Chuan's face became a little solemn.

Corpse crickets are generally mainly black.

Of course there are also some dark red ones.

but--

The corpse crickets here are actually silvery white.

Thinking of the sound of steel clashing when the vines were cut just now.

soon--

Qin Chuan knows what’s going on!

mercury!

There is a huge amount of mercury in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor!

This mercury seems to be a means of preventing theft.

actually--

There is another meaning!

Widow Qing’s cinnabar was mentioned earlier.

This is known as the first Chinese medicine.

It is a mixture of sulfur and mercury.

In the Qin Dynasty, it was the elixir of immortality.

Zulong used to take it all year round.

so--

In the eyes of the people of Qin Dynasty.

The fairy of mercury can live forever.

The huge amount of mercury in the First Emperor's Mausoleum was intended to control the Fountain of Immortality.

Although Qin Chuan doesn't know which layer the mercury is on.

but--

These corpse crickets and octopus trees must have mutated after absorbing mercury!

The octopus tree becomes tougher.

The zombie's defense level must have also been improved.

Some people may say that mercury is poisonous and cannot be absorbed.

This is indeed the case.

but--

There is a word called adaptation!

When a species is in a special environment.

You may begin to feel unfit or even die.

But again, the body structure of the species changes.

Adapt to changes in special circumstances.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor dates back more than two thousand years.

Two thousand years are enough time for corpse crickets and octopus trees to adapt to the mercury environment!

In other words——

These octopus trees and corpse crickets have evolved in a sense!

Evolved to be able to ignore the toxicity of mercury! !

Swish, brush, brush!

There was a sudden sound like a strong wind blowing the trees.

All the octopus trees shook violently.

then--

The fruits that looked extremely thirst-quenching actually burst open!

Inside the fruit——

It’s rows and rows of spikes!

They look just like teeth!

Every fruit is the same.

The teeth are all pure silver.

Anyone with intensive phobia would probably be scared to death if they saw this.

call out--!

Those fruits seemed to turn into snake heads and kill Qin Chuan.

The popped fruit looks like a snake's mouth.

The pure silver thorns flashed with cold light.

You can tell at a glance that he is not easy to mess with.

However, Qin Chuan was unfazed and calm.

He was as light as a swallow as he shuttled between the vines.

At the same time, he raised his knife and cut off the vines.

but--

Weird things also happened.

Fruits from cut vines.

After landing on the ground, it took root directly!

Then he ate the corpses like crazy.

As the number of corpse crickets gnawed increased.

It grew like crazy.

It turns into a small tree in the blink of an eye!

This scene--

Even the well-informed Qin Chuan was a little confused!

He was sure.

As long as there are corpse crickets as nourishment.

Then it only takes one day to transform the fruit into an octopus tree!

"Another dead end!"

moment!

Qin Chuan's expression became extremely solemn!
