Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 270 The poisonous insect attacks, I will pave this road for you

The top of the stone pile is about thirty meters square, which is not very big.

We quickly found the robbery hole in the center.

The pebbles were scraped away, and a hole about 45 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide was chiseled out in the giant tree below.

The hole is so small that an adult of standard size would have to hunch their shoulders to get in.

People with a small belly will get stuck when going down.

The hole is so small, either the opponent is short on time or is relatively small in stature.

In addition, the other party did not intend to take out the important weapons that might be in the tomb.

Because heavy objects are usually large, such a small hole cannot be used to transport large items out.

I held up the emergency light and shone it into the tunnel.

The light dispels the darkness and illuminates the space below.

There are densely packed skulls piled on the ground!

It’s impossible to count how many there are.

Each skeleton had a broken spine, with the upper body folded back along the broken spine and the head tilted back towards the sky.

His arms were swung behind his back like wings, and his leg bones were broken and twisted into an S shape.

They were arranged to look like birds flapping their wings as if they were about to take flight!

I am very familiar with this.

Previously, in the tomb of the king of Bi State, human sacrifices were arranged in this way.

What puzzles me is why human sacrifices are arranged like birds?

Is it that the deity being worshipped likes to eat birds, or is there some other reason?

"The appearance of these bones..."

Cui Hao's face turned ugly as bad memories were brought back to him.

"hiss!"

"Brother, my back hurts."

"The area at the back of my chest where the curse is is swollen and numb."

"Ouch!" Cui Hao's cheek twitched violently.

He bit his lips hard with his upper teeth, and blood beads came out from the bitten lips.

Then he covered his heart with his hands and sat on the ground with his body tilted.

"What's wrong with you, Mouse?!"

When I supported Cui Hao, I also felt something was wrong with the back of my chest.

The feeling of swelling and numbness came over me in waves.

Soon, the left half of my body was invaded by a strong numbness.

I dare not move my left arm and the left half of my body because it will go numb and cramp if I move.

The feeling is like squatting in the toilet for a long time, and the legs feel numb due to poor blood circulation.

"hiss!"

I gasped and sat down next to Cui Hao.

Then came a sharp pain in the heart.

It felt like countless knives were stabbing into my heart at the same time.

The pain made me curl up and bite my back teeth hard, and cold sweat broke out.

"It hurts!"

"It hurts to death!"

I couldn't help but scream, trying to relieve the pain.

Cui Hao was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"what!!!"

The severe pain made time pass very slowly.

It feels like every second feels like an age.

I really wish I could pass out from the pain.

Once you pass out, you won't feel anything.

But neither of us could faint from the pain, and we could only endure the pain that was so painful that it was worse than death.

As the pain gradually subsided, both of us had lost our voices from shouting.

His body was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

"Brother, I feel like I'm almost dying."

"Don't talk nonsense... The God's Tomb is right down there. If we find the scales or bones of the Baon snake and send them back, we can break the curse."

When I was comforting Cui Hao, I felt a bulge in the back of my chest.

This reminds me of Grandpa Tuo.

I think of the big bulge on Camel Uncle’s back!

The big bump that broke and a two-legged snake came out!

The curse between Cui Hao and I must have taken effect just now.

That snake-like curse may be sucking our blood!

Otherwise why would my heart hurt so much!

Cui Hao forced a smile, but it looked uglier than crying.

"Brother, stop comforting me."

"I felt like the curse behind me came alive. It just got into my heart and sucked my blood."

"Perhaps before long... it will suck all the blood from my body and then crawl out of my mouth."

As Cui Hao spoke, he turned over and faced me with his back.

She lifted up her clothes to expose her back.

"Help me check if there is a bulge."

There was a palm-sized bump on his back.

The whole bag is purple.

The snake-shaped curse that had once been like a birthmark beneath the skin now came alive and was slowly swimming within the bulge.

It seems that what Taoist Master Zhang and Ma Si said before was correct.

This thing is actually a poisonous insect!

There are usually two ways to use Gu worms.

One type is when adult poisonous insects are released to bite people.

The other method is to use insect eggs or young insects to parasitize the human body.

The former has an immediate effect, while the latter has a latent period.

If the poisonous insect grows too fast, Cui Hao and I might lose our lives!

"elder brother?!"

"Why aren't you talking?"

Cui Hao's words brought me back from my thoughts.

"oh oh."

"There's a small bump on my back, but it doesn't look like a big deal."

"Stop comforting me. I can feel that thing moving inside me."

Cui Hao looked me straight in the eyes and said very seriously, "Brother, we can't both die here."

"I have an idea and I think I can try it."

"Hmm?" I frowned.

I vaguely feel that Cui Hao's idea may not be very reliable.

Then he said, "I thought of cutting open the skin and taking that thing out to see if that would break the curse."

"Brother, use me as an experiment!"

"I'll find the dagger and give it to you..."

Cui Hao reached into his bag to grab the dagger, and I quickly held him down.

"Are you going to die?!"

"Not to mention the possibility of infection, even if you cut the skin open, you may not be able to remove that thing."

"If you don't do it right, you'll really die!"

"Hehehe." Cui Hao smiled innocently and then lowered his eyes.

"It's so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable when it happens!"

"I don't want to live another life worse than death."

"If I have to choose, I would rather die for our chance to live."

"elder brother!"

"Even if we can get the things back, that damn thing won't necessarily let us live!"

"What's in our bodies are poisonous insects, the same kind as that two-clawed snake!"

"Will it kill its own kind for a promise?"

"In my opinion, it wants us to do the work, and also wants us to hatch its own kind like Grandpa Camel!"

"It's better to believe in ourselves than to believe its lies!"

I was silent.

What Cui Hao said makes sense.

That thing was lying to us the moment it told us that the red snake shape was a curse.

Calling the poison a curse... is just to confuse us.

Let us work hard to break the curse.

Swish.

Cui Hao pulled the dagger out of the leather sheath.

"elder brother."

"You've been protecting me since I was little."

"To protect me, you fought with others, and even when your head was broken and bloody, you still protected me."

"Today, it's my turn!"

"I'll pave this road for you!"

"If I die, it means I, Cui Hao, have bad luck!"

Cui Hao stuffed the dagger into my palm and held my hand tightly.

He looked at me with a determined gaze.

"bring it on!"

"Stab me in the back!"
