After confirming that there were no centipedes, Chen Yulou and the others continued to advance deeper into the underground palace.
After walking for over a kilometer, they discovered a huge stone door blocking their path.
"Open the door and go in to take a look."
Chen Yulou glanced at Lin Changqing and Zhe Gushao who didn't speak, so he let Kun Lun and his brothers push open the heavy stone door.
"Boom!"
The moment the stone door opened, a rotten aura gushed out. A dark tomb tunnel appeared in front of them. It was unfathomable, and the light of the engineer's lamp could not reach the end.
"What is this place? Could it be that it leads to the Hall of the Dead?”
Everyone was curious. They held torches, flashlights, and guns as they walked step by step into the tunnel.
The brothers of Xie Ling carried lime and scattered it in front of them to open up a path to prevent the centipede from appearing again.
"What is this?"
Suddenly, someone noticed drops of sticky liquid falling from the top of the tunnel, landing on the ears or cheeks of the soldiers and the Xieling brothers.
"This thing is strange. Don't touch it!”
When Lin Changqing saw the flower spirit suddenly reach out to catch a drop of liquid that was about to fall, his expression changed and he pulled her back.
"Brother Changqing, did you discover something?”
Hearing Lin Changqing pull the flower spirit back so nervously, the others 'hearts thumped, and they immediately revealed an uneasy expression.
Especially the soldiers and Xie Ling brothers who were stained with the liquid, they frantically rubbed their skin and wiped off the liquid.
"This thing looks very strange. It's better not to touch it easily. I suspect that it's the secretion of a poisonous insect.”
Lin Changqing was also embarrassed to directly say that this was a centipede egg. He could only vaguely remind them not to touch this liquid.
"Senior Brother, come and take a look. There are so many murals here.”
At this moment, the old foreigner who was walking in front noticed that there were all kinds of strange patterns on the walls on both sides of the tomb. One of the murals actually had a pattern that looked like an eyeball.
When everyone heard that there was a mural, they did not continue to dwell on Lin Changqing's words that the liquid might be poisonous. They surrounded it one after another.
Chen Yulou and the others raised their torches and carefully examined the murals on the wall. Chen Yulou also explained the burial customs of the Pre-Qin Dynasty to everyone.
"Shixiong, do you think it looks like the Mu Chen Pearl? Perhaps the Muchen Pearl that your clansmen have been searching for a thousand years is in the bottle.”
The flower spirit leaned over and took a look at the picture on the mural that looked like an eyeball, its face filled with excitement.
"This must be the Muchen Pearl. There's finally news.”
Francolin Whistle raised his torch and stared at the eyeball-like pattern on the mural. A rare smile appeared on his cold face.
"Chief, Francolin Whistle, don't talk about customs. Let's just go in and find the Yuan person's coffin. Won't everything be revealed? Brother Zhe Gu will take the pearls while we carry the treasures. It's killing two birds with one stone.”
Old crooked Luo was already one-eyed. Coupled with his lack of culture, he could not understand such abstract murals at all. He was only thinking about the treasure.
"Ahhhhh!"
All of a sudden, a change occurred.
One of the brothers from Xie Ling screamed as if he had epilepsy. His entire body twitched, and he covered his face before falling to the ground.
Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, the soldier's face rotted and turned into a skull. A large number of small centipedes crawled out of the skull.
"Ah!"
Before anyone could react, a soldier let out a miserable cry. His face twisted and began to melt.
"Save me!"
He didn't die immediately. He stretched out his hand and looked at Chen Yulou. He was like a ghost that crawled out of hell, screaming to save me.
"Hurry up and retreat!"
"Bang!"
Chen Yulou took out his gun, closed his eyes and shot the soldier dead.
"Centipede, there are centipedes here. Let's retreat quickly and get out.”
Everyone knew how powerful the centipede was. They did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly retreated.
"Ah!"
On the way, another person fell to the ground, his face rotten.
At this moment, everyone who was stained with the liquid felt their hearts collapse. They frantically rubbed the parts of their faces that had come into contact with the liquid, wishing they could rub off the skin.
"What happened?"
Aunty Hong and the others were excavating the murals of the palace and moving the treasures. When they saw Chen Yulou and the others rushing out in a panic, they asked curiously.
"Ahhhh!"
All of a sudden, Chen Yulou noticed that another brother's face was starting to rot.
Chen Yulou's expression changed drastically. He directly thrust his spear at Xie Ling. In an instant, his face was completely devoid of flesh and blood, turning into a skeleton. Centipedes crawled out of his facial features.
Old Crooked Luo did not hesitate. When he saw his soldiers change, he immediately took out his revolver and shot them.
The soldiers and Xie Ling brothers outside the palace felt their hair stand on end when they saw this terrifying scene.
It was only after a while that the chaos calmed down.
"The mucus from before should be a centipede egg. It landed on the body and entered the human body through the five senses. It absorbed the essence of the human body and finally broke out of the cocoon. Those were people who had only touched their skin, so it was fine if the eggs did not enter their five senses. Their lives were not in danger.”
Chen Yulou examined the corpse and concluded that the mucus was the centipede eggs.
"Men, go in and set fire to the eggs!”
After knowing that the mucus was centipede eggs, Chen Yulou calmed down and ordered everyone to burn the eggs.
"Brother Changqing, thank you for saving me again.”
The flower spirit came to Lin Changqing's side and said carefully. Her face was a little red as she looked at Lin Changqing with admiration.
"It's fine. It's just a small matter. Remember not to touch anything when you're in the lower tomb.”
