"What's that?"
"It seems to be a bug."
"Why do I feel like it's a cockroach?"
"F * ck, have you ever seen a cockroach bigger than a mouse?”
"Ahhh, I have trypophobia. I'm really going to faint from all these bugs.”
The viewers in the livestream room, who were still confused about the situation, were scared to death when they saw the swarm of insects crawling out from under the coffin.
Tens of thousands of black insects were densely packed together, like a pitch-black cloud.
It surrounded the bronze coffin and the female corpse almost instantly.
Even though Su Bai was used to horror, his heart was still beating wildly when he saw the swarm of insects.
"Definitely not a cockroach."
Old Zhu, who rarely spoke in the live broadcast room, suddenly said with certainty.
"If it's not a cockroach, what is it? Bro, don't just say a paragraph. It's making us feel bad.”
"That's right. What is it? Brother, if you know, just say it.”
"We have a type of insect here called the black beetle. It specializes in eating rotten meat. I think the insect group should be the black beetle.”
Old Zhu answered when he saw everyone asking.
"Black Scorpion?"
"What the hell is a black scorpion? Why haven't I heard of it before?”
Some people raised their doubts, mainly because the name Black Ghost was really strange. They had never heard of it before.
"Everyone, quiet down and listen to me."
Su Bai carefully studied the swarm of black bugs that came out of the ground. He waved his hand at the camera and signaled for them to keep quiet.
"Old Zhu is already very close to the black beetle. Although I don't know what a black beetle is, the black worms in front of me are indeed a terrifying creature that lives on rotten flesh. In the old saying of tomb thieves, they are called corpse bugs.”
Su Bai said seriously.
"Corpse bug? Master Bai, are you talking about the corpse bugs that Wu Xie and the others encountered in the tomb notes?”
"F * ck, do corpse bugs really exist in this world?”
"That's impossible. I remember Third Uncle saying that corpse bugs are a type of bug that he made up and shouldn't exist.”
"Master Bai, did you remember wrongly?"
When Su Bai mentioned the corpse bug, the bullet screen was filled with doubts from the audience.
"Corpse bugs do exist, not just in Third Uncle's novels. According to the thousand-year-old oral legend of the tomb people, corpse bugs have always existed, especially in those old tombs that have not been opened for hundreds or even thousands of years.”
Su Bai explained.
The sudden appearance of the corpse bug disrupted half of Su Bai's plan.
The bronze key in his hand hadn't even warmed up yet, and now the corpse bug, the legendary terrifying tomb creature, had appeared again. Su Bai had a headache.
He put the bronze box into his backpack.
Although Su Bai still didn't know the meaning of the bronze key, he had a thought in his mind that there was a great secret in this bronze key.
Su Bai didn't notice this on the way to the tomb.
Until the two tomb thieves who died tragically in the tunnel and the fear in their eyes that they couldn't erase even before they died, and then the appearance of the Green Fox Saintess and the bronze key, Su Bai was more and more confused.
There was definitely a huge secret hidden inside.
"Chief Bai, I still find it hard to believe. Cao Cao's tomb hasn't been opened for thousands of years, and even the tomb thieves haven't entered the main tomb. How did so many corpse bugs survive? Don't they know how to eat food?"
A Maine Coon called Old Cheng asked.
"That's right, there are at least tens of thousands of corpse bugs here. I don't believe that they have been eating soil for so long.”
"Master Bai, please explain. I feel like this is a bug.”
"This is indeed a little unexplainable. Master Bai, please explain.”
"Corpse bugs live on rotten flesh. I have a guess as to why thousands of corpse bugs can survive and reproduce under Cao Cao's tomb.”
Su Bai hesitated.
"What guess?"
"Master Bai, hurry up and tell us. Don't keep us in suspense.”
Su Bai couldn't hide it anymore as the audience was asking questions on the bullet screen. He directly told them his guess.
"An City has always been a battlefield from the Three Kingdoms to the Northern, Southern, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then to the Anti-Japanese War. A few years ago, a grave was excavated in a mountain valley more than ten miles away from Feng Village, and it was filled with people who were killed during the war.”
Su Bai paused and then continued.
"So I guess that the reason why these corpse bugs can survive under the tomb is because there might be a dead man's pit nearby.”
Su Bai had some ideas about this when he went to the tomb.
The closer they got to the tomb, the more abnormal the frequency of the compass needle's rotation became.
The movement of the compass came from the magnetic field. If the corpses of people were piled up together, they would form a huge magnetic field.
Of course, the movement of the compass might have come from the mine.
However, when combined with the existence of the corpse bugs, the most likely explanation was still the death pit.
"A dead man's pit?"
"F * ck, is that true? Master Bai, please don't scare us.”
"Could it be that there's also a mass grave here?”
As soon as Su Bai finished his words, the people in the live stream were boiling.
"Whether or not there really is a dead man's pit, this is just a guess of mine. I still need to excavate it before I can verify it.”
Su Bai shook his head and said seriously.
Such a guess was too big. Su Bai couldn't guarantee it with 100%.
"Master Bai, I believe you."
"I also believe in Master Bai."
"Master Bai, I think it's better to kill the wrong person than to miss it. When you come out of the tomb, it's best to inform the city's archaeological unit. After all, the death pit is not a small matter.”
"That's for sure."
Su Bai nodded.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the devils had killed too many civilians. Until now, most of the death pits had not been discovered. If there was really a death pit near Cao Cao's tomb, Su Bai would have informed the archeological department.
"Everyone, look."
Su Bai was chatting with the audience in the stream when he saw something shocking.
In just a short while, the almost perfectly preserved female azure fox corpse had been completely devoured by the corpse bugs, leaving behind only a bronze mask and a skeleton.
At the same time, those tens of thousands of corpse bugs seemed to have smelled the scent of Su Bai's fresh flesh and blood. They suddenly changed their route and pounced at Su Bai.
