The movement inside the terracotta became louder and louder, and the man was a little scared. He looked at the wall and found that there were transparent silk threads on the wall, and countless bells were connected to the other side.

Most of those bells are hung on the wrists and feet of the figurines. If you touch one, the others will be touched one after another.

The clanging sound echoed in the stone chamber, making people's scalps numb.

Professor Bai's face changed and he shouted, "Get out! Hurry up and close the stone door! Those stone moths are coming out."

As they were talking, corpse moths kept coming out of the terracotta warrior's mouth, flapping their wings and about to fly down. Everyone didn't care about anything else and ran outside, turning the turntable to close the stone door.

But the stone gate fell too slowly. Seeing that the corpse moth was about to come out, Su Chen took out a fishing net from the bag of space talisman on his waist and threw the other end to Chen Cheng.

"Come on, pull the net aside to block it."

Chen Cheng endured the tingling sensation on his scalp and pulled the net open. He looked at the corpse moth flying into the net with some worry: "What should I do? Should I kill it or burn it to death?"

Professor Bai shouted, "Catch them first. We can take them back to study them and see if they've mutated or something. Be careful not to get them into your mouth."

“…How terrifying.”

With a bang, the stone door was finally closed. The two men met up to tighten the net and seal it. The white moths in the fishing net flapped their wings constantly, looking very ferocious.

Professor Bai moved closer to observe, and thinking of the moths recorded in history books, he nodded: "It's a corpse moth. Fortunately, it's not the breeding season, otherwise these moths would be even more terrifying."

"Huhu, we've only just come this far and we've already encountered these things. It's probably going to be even more dangerous if we go any further in. Let's take some pictures and take them up with us."

"Please ask the higher-ups to send more people down. We are not enough to handle the danger. Master Su, do you have any talismans to deal with the things in the ancient tomb?"

Su Chen hummed, "There are ways to deal with evil spirits, but the most effective one is the Sky Thunder Talisman. However, ordinary people don't have spiritual power, so they can't activate the Sky Thunder Talisman even if they have it."

Professor Bai sighed and said helplessly, "Then we can only ask the Xuanmen people to come together. I can break the mechanisms down there, but I can't deal with those ghosts and monsters."

"Well, if you want to buy some talisman paper, I can draw some more for you. If you can't use the Thunder Talisman, you can also use the Speed ​​​​Up Talisman, the Power Talisman, the Exorcism Talisman and so on."

"Okay, thank you Master Su."

Li Fumei squatted down, looked at the moths eagerly, and whispered, "Master, these moths are so white and plump, can we fry them and eat them?"

Everyone: "...??"

"Uh, that's not possible. These are corpse moths that grow by eating corpses."

"Oh, but these moths are the same as the ones we ate in our village, just a little bit smaller. The village chief likes to eat this kind of moths very much."

When Li Fumei said this, several people gasped and looked at her in disbelief: "This... where did you catch this thing that your village eats?"

"It's in the back mountain. Our village is very poor. We only eat meat once a month. In order to have meat, the villagers like to eat insects."

"The insects in the bamboo, and the flying moths, the village chief said that eating these insects can make you immortal and are very good for your health."

"Oh, he's 110 years old. He's very convincing, right? So the villagers believe it very much. When they see a big one, they will catch it and eat it."

The others looked at each other with complicated expressions.

If this is true, I'm afraid the moths were raised on corpses. As for whether the villagers know about it, it's not clear. It's rare to see a 110-year-old man.

Professor Bai said, "These corpse moths are usually found in ancient tombs. Few people would specifically use corpses to raise these moths. It's hard to say whether there are any ancient tombs in the young lady's hometown."

Chen Cheng said, "Professor, why don't we go to that village and see what the so-called secret of longevity is? Are those moths raised on corpses or caught from ancient tombs?"
