Chapter 16: What happened next?
This time, the sound didn’t stop after the first time, but kept calling continuously. Several people looked uncomfortable, but Han Niu was relatively calm. He reached into his bag and put on a pair of leather gloves.
This is Han Niu’s standard “equipment,” because Han Niu is the one who touches the contents of the coffin. What could be in a coffin that’s been there for so long? Rats, spiders, centipedes… What if there’s a vampire in the coffin and it bites someone?
So these soft cowhide gloves are very useful.
After putting on the gloves, Han Niu seemed to have more courage. He gave a wink to the others, who nodded back at him. Han Niu then shouted, “Open it,” and without hesitation, he began to forcefully open the lid of the jar.
The lid was really tight, and Han Niu had to use all his strength and his neck turned red before he heard a “clang”.
The jar opened, but because he had used too much force, the solid half rolled over, and Han Niu was holding a lid full of holes.
“It’s nothing,” said Guo Erxin, but the next moment he saw a white shadow crawling out of the jar.
Since he couldn’t see clearly, Guo Er flashed his flashlight over, and the next moment, he saw the bug.
“It’s a worm!” Guo Er shouted, and everyone looked over with his flashlight. Wasn’t it a worm?
It was exactly the same as the relief on the wall, fat and soft, like a roundworm, but a hundred times more hideous than a roundworm.
But even if it had grown into a monster, the men would not have been nervous. Bugs, country people see them all the time.
At this point, the worm had completely crawled out of the jar. There was another strange cry, but everyone was not afraid. A worm called to heaven, but it was still a worm.
“Han Niu, kill it.” Guo Er let out a sigh of relief, said in a relaxed tone, and reached into his pocket. Guo Er was even about to light a cigarette.
Han Niu replied, picked up his shovel and walked over, ready to kill the bug with one shovel.
At this moment, something strange happened. The bug stood up half its body like a snake and kept hissing at the ox.
The sound of the call was really annoying, and the way it stood up was even more hideous.
Guo Er was annoyed and yelled, “Hanniu, kill it.”
But the ox didn’t seem to hear him. It didn’t move at all. The look on its face was so vacant that Guo Er was furious. He took the shovel and went up himself. At that moment, the head of the worm suddenly turned towards Guo Er and began to hiss at him.
At this point, Guo Er finally understood how the ox felt. He felt that the bug was calling to him, and he couldn’t move at all. He felt that his thoughts were about to stop, and his mind was blank.
Perhaps the bug was calling to Guo Er, and the pressure on the ox was greatly reduced. He shouted, “This bug is weird. It makes people dazed when it calls.”
At this point, Jiang Yao Mao couldn’t hold back any longer. He wasn’t very brave, so he grabbed a handful of black dog blood and threw it at the bug. He didn’t know much, but he knew that the bug was evil, and black dog blood was useless for anything else, but it was just to ward off evil.
With a ‘pop’, the black dog blood in the bag spilled out. When he threw it, Jiang Yaomao pinched a hole in the bag, and with the impact, the bag split open.
The black dog blood spilled all over the bug, and the bug stopped screaming and went limp.
Guo Er looked at Jiang Yao Maoye with a grateful look. In fact, he had some regrets about bringing Jiang Yao Maoye earlier because he was timid and his skills were useless after he went underground. Jiang Yao Maoye seemed to be a useless person, so Guo Er regretted it.
But today, Jiang Yao Cat has played his role. It seems that his own considerations were correct at the time. Underground things are too evil. It is always good to have someone who “knows the ropes.”
With a grateful glance at Jiang Yao Maoye, Guo Er no longer hesitated. With a “pop,” he swung his shovel at the strange bug. Guo Er used all his strength with this swing, thinking that when he took the shovel away, the bug would be smashed into a muddy mess.
But when he took the shovel away, he found that the bug had not been smashed into a puddle of mud as he had expected, but had only been flattened.
It was flat like a piece of paper.
Guo Er looked at it for a while, didn’t think much about it, and didn’t care if it was rotten or flat, as long as it was dead. He wanted to quickly pack up and leave this ghostly place, because at this time he remembered two things.
First, they had been walking in the tomb for 6 or 7 minutes, but they hadn’t seen the boss yet. How big was the tomb? The bigger the tomb, the more evil it was. This was what the tomb raider had taught him.
Second, he remembered the strange laughter. They had been delayed for so long, and he was afraid that the main character was coming up.
But at that moment, Han Niu shouted, “Brother, the bug is still alive.”
Han Niu is a man with no emotions, and he is even less likely to be surprised. Since he came into this room, he has yelled twice, which shows how strange things are.
Guo Er heard this and his face twitched. He couldn’t say what he felt, but he turned his head back in a daze. He saw that the flatworm was indeed wriggling, and its body was still recovering.
“Han Niu, chop it up with a shovel,” said Guo Er, grinding his teeth.
The edge of this small shovel is very sharp and can be used as a kitchen knife. Han Niu was also very talkative and went straight to chop it with the shovel. Lao Du also came up to help, and Jiang Yao Mao even took the black dog blood that had been divided among the people and sprinkled it on the worm.
Everyone was extremely angry, because they were driven to extreme anger by the extremely strange things, and their anger was so extreme that it was almost crazy.
But after a short while, just a short while, they all fell into a state of despondency. Han Niu was the first to throw down his cleaver and sit down.
Because the bug was as tough as cowhide, and couldn’t be chopped up.
Guo Er was a little numb and said, “Forget about it. We’ve got what we came for, let’s go.”
After he said that, he stood up first, but as soon as he stood up, something strange happened. The bug was surrounded by black dog blood, and it was also covered in black dog blood. The white bug was dyed red.
But at this moment, the red color on the bug began to fade rapidly, and the black dog blood around it also began to decrease rapidly.
“Fuck it, motherfucker, fuck it, it’s sucking blood,” Old Du ranted incoherently, a sign of extreme fear.
Guo Erhong looked at all this with one eye, watching the blood decrease, watching the bug slowly swell up and become round again, watching it even grow longer and bigger, Guo Er finally said with clenched teeth, “Go, don’t take anything, it’s too evil!”
Guo Er saw that Lao Du had taken the canvas bag that contained the jar.
Guo Er wanted to yell at Lao Du, but when he thought of his stupid son, he opened his mouth but said nothing.
The few people ran out of the room in a panic. The last one, the stupid cow, looked behind him and said angrily, “Hurry up, it’s coming after us.”
Guo Er heard this and his chest tightened. He couldn’t help but turn around and take a look. The bug was really chasing after him.
What a fucking shame! A few grown men were being chased by a bug less than half a meter long, but what could they do?
The bug was too fast. Within a minute of running, Guo Er and the others saw the bug leap from the top of the wall and directly in front of them, standing half-way up and blocking their path.
Guo Er, who was running at the front, didn’t care about anything. He was so desperate that even a clay figure would have some earthy nature. Without thinking, he raised his shovel and tried to hit the bug.
But at this moment, his body was no longer under his control. He first heard a neighing sound, then a strong dizziness came over him, and Guo Er fainted on the ground.
At the same time, he noticed that the other people were also falling over and over.
“This is the end. I’m going to die here.” This was the last thought in Guo Er’s mind before he fainted.
“What happened next?” Su Rou was stunned and it took him a while to react. He asked, “What happened next?” He was so immersed in the story that he apparently forgot that Guo Er was still lying here, which meant that they had escaped.
Faced with this question from Su Rou, Guo Er’s face became a little strange. He said in a muffled voice, “Later? I don’t know what happened later.”
