Chapter 140 Corpse turtle?!
Upon closer inspection, Wu Liang discovered that this "black tide" was actually made up of hundreds or thousands of fist-sized black... Let's call them turtles. The oval body shape was indeed somewhat similar to a turtle.
"Let me go, am I a corpse turtle in the future?"
Wu Liang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
When he first read about the tomb robbers of later generations, Wu Liang, like many readers, became curious about the mysterious and terrifying tomb creatures called "corpse turtles".
At that time, this creature still caused heated discussions on the Internet, and netizens speculated what kind of creature it was.
Some people say that the "corpse turtle" is an arthropod marine creature in the ocean. The Chinese name is "Oriental horseshoe crab", also known as "horseshoe crab".
Some people say that the "corpse turtle" is actually the dung beetle, which is what we commonly call the "dung beetle".
Because the description of dung beetles in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is very similar to the description of "corpse turtles" in tomb robbers. They both like to suck blood and meat, and they also like cold and cold places. Moreover, it is said that they were domesticated by southern wizards.
A kind of worm.
But until Wu Liang traveled through time, such speculations were still speculations, and all of them were untenable.
Therefore, Wu Liang has always regarded it as a mysterious creature made up by the author. At most, it is only some adaptation based on a certain creature.
and.
After carefully reviewing the information, Wu Liang actually discovered an insect that is closer to the "corpse turtle" than the "oriental horseshoe crab" and "dung beetle"...
"It's over! It's all over!"
Seeing this horrifying scene, Yu Ji was so frightened that he cried and shouted, "I have long said that this tomb must not be buried. This ferocious insect wave must be the corpse aura and resentment of the tomb owner and those corpses.
Driven by the power of the Eight Evils, now they want to eat our flesh and our blood. It's over, my life is over... Wuwu!"
Halfway through what he was saying, Dian Wei couldn't stand listening anymore and immediately slapped the old man's mouth, looked at Wu Liang and asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
It can be heard that Dian Wei is also a little unsure at this moment.
No matter how powerful he is on his own, there is absolutely no way he can compete with hundreds of monster insects. What's more, the monster insects that don't know their details at all can't be killed, right?
Otherwise, he might not ask Wu Liang what he should do, but directly ask Wu Liang whether he should do it or not.
"Jingjing!"
Wu Liang also felt chills in his chest at this moment, but as the backbone of this tomb robbing team, he immediately forced himself to calm down, turned around and said to Bai Jingjing: "Isn't your ventriloquism capable of driving away ferocious beasts? See if you can drive these monsters away.
Worm expulsion!”
"Ah...oh!"
Bai Jingjing was frightened by the scene in front of her. She finally came back to her senses after hearing Wu Liang's words and quickly acted as he said.
"Boohoo!"
"Chirp, no, chirp!"
"Cack!"
"Quack!"
"..."
Unfortunately, in the end, Bai Jingjing even abandoned the image completely and imitated the sounds of hens and ducks, the natural enemies of the insects. However, this strange insect remained unaffected and moved forward indomitably.
And with the difference in running speed, the distance between the two has shortened to five or six meters, and they are about to be overtaken.
"Damn, it's completely useless!"
Wu Liang felt very desperate, and cold sweat was already flowing down his temples.
However, he immediately thought of something else!
It was the mysterious little drum that he always had on his chest. Wu Liang had always thought that it might be the "Kui Niu Drum", which could boost morale and intimidate the enemy when certain conditions were met.
Although after it came out of the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, this mysterious little drum never played a role again.
But it’s a fact that its drumbeat scared “Jiang” away in the first place!
That's why Wu Liangcai always carried it with him, always thinking that it might come in handy at some point.
So now!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Wu Liang had no other option now, so he immediately beat the small drum on his chest with the idea of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"Crack, click, click..."
"Crack, click, click..."
The group of strange insects didn't even react, and still rushed towards Wu Liang and others like a "black tide" with their heads down.
"It's completely useless?"
Wu Liang began to despair. Could it be that this kind of strange insect had no hearing organ at all, so neither Bai Jingjing's ventriloquism nor his drumming had any effect?
But at this moment, he doesn't have time to think about these things...
"Crack, click, click..."
The distance between the strange insect swarm and Wu Liang and others continued to close at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing that there was only two or three meters between the two sides, it would take at most a few breaths to catch up.
"Ci'ao, is this time-travel journey going to end so soon?"
Wu Liangliang was reluctant, but he was not regretful.
If he was given another chance to do it again, he would still choose the same lifestyle as before, but he would definitely be more prepared before excavating the tomb of Marquis Haihun, for example: find ways to get some tools that can launch fire attacks
, or use existing materials to develop some insecticides or repellents, which may be able to deal with the current situation.
but.
He is not the kind of person who would give up resistance and surrender when faced with a desperate situation.
Like many people, whenever he is faced with such a situation of no return, he will be inspired to bring out the bloody nature hidden in his bones, just like the reaction of many people in later generations who were suddenly frightened when they entered a haunted house.
Instead of running away or huddled in a corner motionless, but...
You know, the sign at the entrance of the haunted house that says "No beating of haunted house staff" is not just for casual talk.
Anyway, Wu Liang was fined when he went there for the first time. With the mediation of the police uncle, he not only apologized profusely, but also compensated the staff for medical expenses and lost work expenses.
"Dian Wei! Damn it, stop running away! Fight them to the death!"
Wu Liang gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped, pulled out a spare engineering shovel from behind Dian Wei, turned around and got into position to face the surging swarm of insects.
"Master!"
Dian Wei's expression changed, and he immediately threw Yu Ji on the ground, pulled out two engineering shovels with his backhand, and stood next to Wu Liang.
"I also want!"
Another slender arm stretched out from the side, it was actually Bai Jingjing?
"?"
Wu Liang and Dian Wei looked at the girl in surprise.
"Don't forget your promise. If you die here, Suihou Zhu will be returned to the Bai family. I hope you have made a will, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Bai Jingjing's expression became calmer, and she looked at Wu Liang with a sweet smile on her face, "I knew that you, a scoundrel, would eventually be punished. Now is the retribution coming?
Chapter completed!
