Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Chen Hao didn't force it, so he had to take the money back. After thanking the peacock again, he put the equipment on the bamboo raft at the back, and the one where everyone was sitting in front rowed into the dark cave along the water flow.

"Rumble..."

At this time, there was thunder outside, and after a while, it began to rain heavily.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. The weather in these places is very strange, especially if they are in such a dark and narrow waterway. If the water rises, they may encounter a lot of trouble. It's better to pass here as soon as possible.

Chapter 394 Stone Figurines

The road in front of the water cave is very spacious, but there is a big difference in height and height, which requires extreme care to control the direction of the bamboo rafts so as not to hit the hidden stones in the water.

This is a natural cave. Under the light of the wolf-eye flashlight, everyone saw a large number of jagged rocks, which looked like people and things, and looked a little creepy in the dark.

For safety, Chen Hao sat alone on the bamboo raft carrying the equipment, and the three of them, Sydney Hu Bayi, sat on the bamboo raft at the back. People behind can retreat in time if they encounter danger, and Chen Hao can also Tackle what's ahead with ease, without your hands tied.

There are upside-down stalactites everywhere in the cave. In order to avoid smashing their heads, everyone had to wear tactical helmets. It happens that there are also tactical spotlights on the helmets, which can be used for lighting.

Chen Hao installed a strong light in front of the bamboo raft for lighting. This kind of strong light can only be illuminated for 1 minute at a time, and it must be turned off because the power consumption is too strong, and it cannot be illuminated for a long time.

"Finally here, Fat Lord, I can't wait to receive Old Xian Wang's Phantom Artifact!" The fat man rubbed his hands and said.

Hu Bayi joked: "Why is it so urgent? The Tomb of the King Xian is in the Valley of Insects. If you go an hour or two late, you can still run with long legs? Xiaopang, you are too impatient. Your perseverance is a bit disappointing to the organization. nourish."

Seeing that the two were arguing again, Xue Li hurriedly said, "Stop arguing, you two, can you learn from my brother and be calm and calm? Every military operation in our side will have a code name, which makes the plan more purposeful. It is easier to complete. What do you think is the best code name for this project?"

The fat man said: "You guys like to engage in this kind of thing. In my opinion, we are here for the ghost weapon, or we can call it the operation of touching the ghost weapon. It's so straightforward!"

Hu Bayi said: "Xiao Pang, your code name is too vulgar. I think we can choose a more elegant code name. Since we are here in the name of catching butterflies, I think it is called Operation Butterfly!"

"agree."

"Operation Butterfly? The name sounds nice, and I agree!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the name Hu Bayi thought was better.

Chen Hao sat on the bow of the boat smoking a cigarette, remained silent, and did not participate in the discussion of the crowd at all. For him, the code name was not important, the important thing was that he had to sign in to complete the task, and then help everyone to bring Muchen Bead out. .

The road ahead was relatively peaceful, but the bamboo rafts made everyone a little tired, so they had to slow down and let the bamboo rafts swim down the water.

After advancing into the water cave for more than ten minutes, in the darkness in the distance, some faint blue phosphorous fires can be seen from time to time. Obviously, this dark water cave is not a restricted area for life. There used to be some animals. .

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Hao couldn't help but think of the scene where he went to Qixing Lu Palace with Wu Xie and others in the world of tomb robbers. It was so similar to the scene in front of him that he felt like revisiting his old place.

He stretched out his hand to touch the water of the river, only to feel it was bitingly cold, and felt that the water was snow water flowing down from the top of Zhelong Mountain.

At this time, the water flow suddenly became turbulent, and the speed of the two-leaf bamboo raft became faster and faster. Under the flickering illumination of the strong searchlight, the surrounding strange rocks were faintly visible, and disappeared before they could be seen clearly. It looked grotesque.

Everyone's hearts suddenly became tense, for fear that the bamboo raft would bump into some hidden rock and overturn, or encounter some strange things.

At this moment, a small hole suddenly appeared in front of it. The shape of the hole was formed by a natural karst cave, but the shape looked like a huge beast's mouth, giving people a feeling as if they were about to be sent into the mouth of a giant beast. oppression.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, they wanted to turn around but it was too late, they slid into the narrow beast's mouth along the water flow.

After entering the beast's mouth, there is an even bigger cave inside. What's creepy is that there are countless disgusting stone figurines that I saw on the way hanging in this cave.

The fat man said: "Damn it, why are there so many stone men in this ghost place? Why does this old rice dumpling like King Xian like playing with these crooked things?"

At this moment, the bright searchlight suddenly went out, and the world in front of them was once again plunged into darkness. In the darkness, everyone faintly passed by that kind of stone figurines many times, and their scalps went numb in shock.

Everyone hurriedly turned on their flashlights to illuminate the surroundings, so as not to bump into stones, or these disgusting stone people, that is not a good thing.

Entering the huge karst cave, the water flow suddenly became gentle again, the speed of the two bamboo rafts suddenly slowed down, and the surrounding things were clearly visible.

What came into view at this time were countless stone figurines hanging upside down, suspended in the water cave by an iron chain, in strange postures, and men and women could not be distinguished. In short, it made people feel very strange.

Sydney used a flashlight to carefully watch the stone figurines, wanting to check how these things were different from those seen outside.

Hu Bayi hurriedly asked her to put on gloves to avoid being infected with any virus or bacteria.

Xueli asked everyone to stop the bamboo raft, pulled out the parasail knife from his waist, approached one of the stone figurines, and cut the stone skin of the stone figurine.

After the stone skin was planed open, a large piece of insect eggs rolled out of it, a large piece of white flowers, some of which were still wriggling non-stop, people who watched it were very disgusted.

Xueli asked suspiciously: "Do you think these stone figurines are real people or stone figures? If they are stone figures, how could these bugs reproduce in the stone, and what nutrients do they rely on to survive?"

When everyone heard what he said, they couldn't help frowning. What Xue Li said was very reasonable. For any oviparous animal, there is a lot of nutrient solution in the egg liquid, which can maintain the hatching of an egg.

While everyone was thinking, those insect eggs fell into the water at once, and then a strange scene appeared.

As soon as those eggs fell into the water, countless small insects like water spiders hatched one by one. When those small insects encountered the water, they immediately started to swim flexibly!

"My god, what the hell kind of bug is this? It's been thousands of years, yet it's still not dead?" the fat man exclaimed.

Xue Lixiu frowned slightly and said: "It seems that my previous deduction is correct. These stone figurines are not made of stones, but real people, otherwise these eggs would not be able to hatch!"

"Puff! Puff!"

While she was speaking, there was a lot of sound of falling into the water suddenly. Following the sound, I saw those stone figurines hanging upside down suddenly fell into the water without any warning, splashing a large amount of water.

In an instant, dozens of stone figurines fell into the water. These things seemed to come alive, and everyone's scalps went numb from fright.

Chapter 395 Suppression of Bugs

What's even more shocking is that after all the stone figurines fell into the water, all the bugs in their bodies hatched out, swimming in the water, and a large group of white flowers gathered in groups, which made people feel terrified.

Xueli said with a pretty face, "Not good! These bugs are a kind of insects of Xian Wang. They eat insects, don't eat them, and they can't be eaten. They can't be eaten by a widow. Knocking on the brain and drums, Lai Mengwei's skirt, huge simmer, and collision with the school

The fat man said, "Damn it, so these insects grew up eating dead human flesh, will they bite people?"

Hu Bayi frowned and said, "If it's just an ordinary bug, it definitely won't bite people, but this kind of bug is blown out of the mold of a falcon. Please forgive me

While everyone was talking, they saw countless white worms swimming by under the water, and even attached to the bottom of their bamboo raft all at once.

Seeing that everyone was nervous, Chen Hao comforted him and said, "Don't panic, the worms in these stone figures are a kind of Gu worms called water hornets, which live in water. I checked a lot of information and learned that these worms It's just a kind of aquatic insect, we don't have to worry about what the insect will do to us on the bamboo raft."

After hearing his words, everyone felt a little relieved, Hu Bayi looked back at the countless stone figurines around him, and cursed: "Damn it, these ancient princes and princes really don't treat people as human beings, these slaves and captives even oxen and horses It's not as good as he actually used it as a tool for raising insects."

Hu Bayi looked at the fat man again, and said, "Little Fatty, if you are a slave to the king, you can at least be a sacrificial leader, one of the three!"

Fatty saw the countless bugs swimming by at the bottom of the water, and he also felt scalp. He patted the tactical spotlight on the top of his head, took a photo of Hu Bayi and cursed: "Fuck you, old Hu, you just say that!" It fully exposed your true face of ignorance. As far as I know, it was a very honorable thing to be selected as a sacrificial person in ancient times. I heard that the selection conditions were extremely strict. Three generations of ancestors, political background No problem at all.

I think it's most appropriate to take an active guy like you to light the sky lanterns. At that time, how many people wrote blood letters to beg to make funeral objects, but they didn't agree. You will definitely call me to sacrifice to the sky. I am the most suitable for lighting sky lanterns, everyone is waiting for the news that I have successfully sacrificed to the sky! "

Xue Li scolded: "You two have never finished, don't you find that this road is different from what the inn proprietress said? Did we go the wrong way?"

Before departure, the proprietress told them that this water hole seemed to be dug out by ancient quarrying, and it could go all the way to the Snake River Valley. She didn't say that there would be these things in the middle, obviously they might have gone the wrong way. .

The fat man said: "Why don't we turn around and go back, it's like a maze inside, maybe we've gone the wrong way long ago, we don't have much dry food, so don't wander around here."
