Just as the Man-eating Fireflies were about to pounce, the clothes in Jiang Yi's hands were set ablaze.
The weak flame emitted a pungent smell, and wisps of red smoke quickly dissipated, filling the air.
The first man-eating firefly seemed to have been provoked and instantly dodged. Then, the second, the third…
More and more man-eating fireflies began to retreat.
"Hey, hey…Old Hu, did you see that? These damn things are really afraid of fire."
The horrified Fatty Wang was instantly delighted and grinned.
"They're not afraid of fire. There's Jiang Yi's blood on the clothes…" Eighth Hu said with a solemn expression.
"Hmm?"
Only then did Fatty Wang wake up from his dream. He once again sized up Jiang Yi in astonishment, and he was stunned.
The fire gradually grew bigger under his clothes, and the smoke it emitted also began to become thicker. It was dense in the huge cave, and the smell was even more pungent.
The man-eating fireflies that blotted out the sun began to retreat rapidly. The fastest one was already inside the cave wall.
"Brother, how do we get rid of this thing?”
Seeing this, Eighth Hu was the first to react."If the clothes are burnt out, won't these insects fly out again?”
"As long as the smoke doesn't disperse, we're still safe.”
He could finally put his heart at ease. After the countless Man-Eating Glowworms returned to the cave where the wax corpses were stored, Jiang Yi found a place and hung his half-burnt clothes in the air.
Finally, he clapped his hands and re-examined the black monster.
"We still have to think of a way to get out. Before we figure out what tomb this is, we definitely can't stay for too long.”
Jiang Yi scratched his head with one hand on his waist and was about to turn to look in the other direction of the cave.
All of a sudden, he heard a faint strange sound. Jiang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes widened. His heart jumped to his throat.
Perhaps it was because of the smoke, but the temperature in the huge cave became higher. The entire row of wax corpses began to melt.
Layers of wax oil mixed with the dust on the corpses rolled down. Almost every wax corpse had this phenomenon.
"This…"
Fatty Wang obviously saw it too, but before he could say anything, Eighth Hu's heart tightened.""Run! Run…Run now."
"What's wrong?"
"If you don't want to see the corpse transform, you can only run.”
After saying that, Eighth Brother Hu patted Jiang Yi's shoulder and turned around to run.
Jiang Yi knew better than anyone else.
The wax was made of an unknown material and sealed the corpse. Once the wax melted, it was unknown whether the corpse would change, but the poison sealed in the wax would definitely be released along with the air.
"But where are we going?"
Fatty Wang swung his fat butt and followed behind Jiang Yi and Eighth Hu. He did not dare to ask for details and could only run blindly.
He could only blame the son of a b * tch system for not even giving him a suitable weapon. He did not even prepare an oxygen mask.
Everyone continued forward, running for a thousand meters before stopping.
There was nothing they could do. The situation was completely different from before.
It was bright behind them, but the sight in the cave ahead was getting dimmer and dimmer. Most importantly, the three of them had to cross a narrow tomb passage that was more than a hundred meters long before they could reach another cave.
The catacomb was at most one meter wide and two meters high. The space was extremely limited.
Moreover, the walls of the tomb were inlaid with some unknown green bricks, and all kinds of patterns were carved on them.
"We can basically see the layout of this tomb.”
Jiang Yi tried his best to calm himself down."If I'm not wrong, after passing this tomb passage, even if it's not the main tomb ahead, we should be close to it.”
"Whose grave is this?"
Eighth Hu was still struggling with this question."This is the first time I've seen the murals in the tomb. My guess is correct.”
"Sealing the corpse with beeswax to form a human insignia to restore the dignity of the deceased when they were alive. The owner of this tomb is either the Son of Heaven or the Duke of the country.”
Jiang Yi wasn't in a hurry to enter the catacomb ahead. He turned around and looked at the place where the man-eating fireflies had appeared."To be able to raise man-eating fireflies and preserve them for thousands of years, there are even tomb guarding beasts. According to historical records, who could do this during the Western Zhou Dynasty?”
"The Western Zhou Dynasty is close to prehistoric times and has yet to enter the Spring and Autumn Period. Witchcraft is rampant. It's hard to guarantee that it's not done by some kind of witchcraft.”
Eighth Hu was also commenting,"However, are we still going to walk through this tomb?"”
"Wait a minute. I'm afraid that if we enter like this and guess a mechanism, we'll be trapped inside.”
Jiang Yiqian smiled and clapped his hands. He bent down to pick up two larger stones and threw them into the catacomb.
A dull thud sounded as the stone rolled on the ground. Two or three seconds later, the stone suddenly stopped in the middle of the tomb.
Immediately after, the ear-piercing sound of giant wood being squeezed rang out. Jiang Yi and the others watched as the stone walls on both sides of the catacomb actually moved.
The three to five square meters of the cave wall quickly pressed inwards. After the two walls collided, they began to retreat again.
"Good boy! There really is a trap…"
Fatty Wang widened his eyes and smacked his lips."The designer of this ancient tomb is also an awesome person. He can f * cking play so many tricks.”
"This is just the beginning."
Jiang Yi stared at the ground in the middle of the catacomb and squatted down.""My guess is correct. The mechanism here should be related to the green bricks on the ground. If we're not careful and step on them, we'll probably die here today.”
"There's more?"
"It's alright, I'll go find some stones first." Fatty Wang suddenly came to his senses.”
