Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 287 Explanation
The impact of the cannonballs knocked the long beetles back for a certain distance, and they were only about forty meters away from them, but they were pushed back a few meters.

"Da da da da..."

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of the Chicago typewriter and the Lee-Enfield rifle sounded at the same time after the explosion, and the underground river was suddenly full of noise.

The beetle worm was beaten to the point where yellow water splashed in all directions, pieces of flesh flew across its body, and it trembled all over. The powerful kinetic energy of the bullet prevented it from moving forward, and it was almost rubbed against the opposite wall of the cave.

And as it was continuously shot by dense bullets, the long worm's already rotting mouth continued to spew out red mist. Both Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle noticed that the spewed red mist was gradually fading in color as time went by.

Seeing this, Luo Changfeng yelled: "Keep working harder, this big bug is about to die."

When everyone heard this, the movements of their hands were a little faster. In order to ensure the output of firepower, the soldiers with stronger hands pulled out the grenade and pulled it out when the gun was hit by a bullet and handed it to the wrestlers and swordsmen behind them to reload. After dropping the drawstring, he threw it into the red mist.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Bang bang..."

"Da da da da..."

The sound of guns and guns was endless, yellow juice, accompanied by countless finely minced meat, danced endlessly on the other side of the river, the red mist gradually dissipated, the opposite side couldn't help twisting, trying to rush towards the other side, the bronze armor couldn't help rubbing against it. The long worm of the voice, the movement gradually became quieter.

As the wisp of red mist dissipated, it could already be seen that the long worm's carapace had turned black, not as bright red as it was when it was first seen.

Slowly, the long worm finally stopped moving, and lay on the opposite rock formation, only slightly twitching and shaking.

"Cease fire." Luo Changfeng yelled loudly, and the gunshots stopped abruptly, only the gunpowder smoke floating on the river, telling how violent the firepower output was just now.

The completely shattered mouth of the worm lying on the ground suddenly became several times larger than before, and it kept making "cuckoo" sounds.

The next moment, I saw the huge worm opening its mouth, spitting out a large pile of floating corpses that had been swallowed by it before.

These floating corpses have all turned dark brown, without the cold shadow on the surface, and there are still many viscous liquids on the corpses.

After spitting out more than a hundred pitch-black female corpses, there was another violent grunting sound, and a huge square object was spit out from its mouth and fell heavily on the ground.

The surface of the object was dripping with juice, and there were many large uneven copper nail caps. It seemed to be a bronze box or a large copper coffin.

After spitting out the bronze box, the long beetle's head fell to the ground again, curled up, and remained motionless.

Everyone waited for a while and saw that the worm was not moving anymore, so they looked at Luo Changfeng one after another, and Chen Yulou said, "Changfeng, explain, what is this thing?"

Luo Changfeng nodded his head and said, "The scorpion beetle is a kind of undead insect from the ancient times. Its nerves and flesh are separated and exist alone, so it does not feel pain."

"Unless it is eaten by something bigger than it, completely digested and absorbed with gastric juice, or completely burned to ashes by fire, as long as the nerve does not die, it can continue to divide and grow by itself, and eventually return to its original shape."

"So this thing can only smash it, make it lose too much blood, lose the ability to move, and can't be killed at all."

"However, changes in the oxygen content in the air can also cause it to die. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should have been extinct tens of millions of years ago. I didn't expect there to be one here."

"It should be that the environment here meets the conditions it needs to survive, but it doesn't matter. Now this long worm has no threat to us, at least within a few months."

Luo Changfeng didn't explain in detail either. After all, although Chen Yulou and the others understood some scientific things, they didn't know much. do not understand.

So he just explained it to them in a more traditional language, letting them know the characteristics and origin of this thing.

After Luo Changfeng explained the long worm, Partridge Whistle asked, "Just now you said that the long worm was the source of the poisonous miasma above, but you don't know why?"

Luo Changfeng pointed to the floating corpses scurrying around in the water, and said, "It's the glowing things on those floating corpses. I can't tell what it is, but you see, those corpses spit out by the worms, the surface is Black."

"These seemingly white floating corpses are actually black. There is an unknown thing growing on their body surface. After swallowing these floating corpses, the long worm digests that layer, but these corpses cannot be digested, so they can only vomit. come out."

"In this way, those floating corpses will slowly grow that kind of unknown thing, which is why after 2000 years, these floating corpses can never be eaten up."

"As for the things on the floating corpse, after being digested by the long worm, it will form a poisonous miasma. If I guessed correctly, the body of this long worm must be connected to the cave wall, and it is restricted here and cannot leave. The second half of its body It produces poisonous miasma, rises from the ground, and finally rises from the ground to mid-air."

Luo Changfeng's explanation was reasonable and logical, but there was one more question, which Chen Yulou asked: "But how did the glowing white substance on these floating corpses come about?"

Luo Changfeng looked at the floating corpses, and said, "It's not surprising, the key problem is the back of those floating corpses, which is the kind of thing that moves them."

"The reason behind this may be very profound and complicated, but we don't really need to delve into it. We have only two goals in dedicating the king's tomb this time."

"One is to look for Muchen Beads, the second is to find the funeral objects offered to the king, and the others, as long as they don't hinder us, don't worry about them."

"After all, the work of exploring the truth of history is done by archaeologists. We only need to find what we need."

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement. Chen Yulou laughed and said, "It's true, we just look for things, we don't care about his strange magic, but Changfeng, you can infer so many things, it's not easy. .”

Luo Changfeng smiled, and said no more, Luo Laowai tentatively said: "Then let's go over now? Although the mask was blown to pieces, it's still such a big piece of gold."

"Looking at the size, at least it must be a few hundred catties. When I took it back, it melted a lot of large yellow croakers. I don't know what's in that bronze box."

Luo Changfeng didn't object to this proposal. These tomb robbers are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. If they see something like a bronze box, if they don't open it to take a look, they will feel stuck in their throats and feel uncomfortable.

The team turned around at the moment, and this place is only a few minutes away from the small waterfall. You only need to go back and circle from under the waterfall to the opposite rock formation.

Originally there were many bamboo rafts on the river, but those floating corpses were running around, and the bamboo rafts would also be bumped and floated everywhere, and they couldn't be fixed at all, so they couldn't form a pontoon bridge.
