Chapter 3 Stone figurines, water pig bees

"Pause."

Shirley Yang shouted, then craned her neck to observe the nearest terracotta figure.

The stone figurine had fallen from above and lay sideways beside the river.

"Although we can't see the specific appearance of these terracotta warriors, judging from their clothing and accessories, they should be from the Han Dynasty."

"I'll go down and take a look."

As she spoke, she had already jumped into the river.

Just as she was about to touch the stone figurine, Hu Bayi shouted, "Put on gloves, be careful not to get contaminated by the ancient germs on it."

Shirley Yang put on gloves as instructed, took out the paratrooper knife, scraped the terracotta twice, and leaned in to smell it.

"Don't smell it! This figurine is not made of stone."

Gu Bai reminded.

Fatty Wang turned his head in surprise: "What else could it be but a stone?"

When they came to Zhalongzhai, the bus hit a terracotta warrior, and the shell did not look like it was made of clay.

"This is a human figurine, made from a living person!"

Gu Bai touched the green snake's head and spoke softly.

"what?"

Fatty Wang exclaimed.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang also frowned.

Subsequently,

Shirley Yang deftly scraped off a small piece from the figurine.

After scraping off the stone skin, the rotten dead maggots inside were revealed.

Seeing these things, Shirley Yang's stomach churned and she almost vomited.

She suppressed her nausea and stabbed the terracotta warrior several times with her paratrooper knife, revealing a body full of insect eggs and dead insects.

Shirley Yang frowned and said, "The witchcraft of the ancient Dian Kingdom is really vicious and evil."

This cave is densely packed with human figurines, which shows how many innocent people are buried here.

The group stayed for a while and soon set off again.

"Brother Gu Bai, you seem to know a lot about those terracotta warriors." Hu Bayi looked at Gu Bai and asked curiously.

Gu Bai nodded.

"Although these magic techniques are cruel, the insect eggs inside are good food for breeding Gu."

"I'm lucky this time. There are so many insect eggs. I don't have to look for them one by one."

When Hu Bayi and the other two heard this, their hair stood on end.

Others would try to avoid this thing if they encountered it, but he actually took the initiative to look for it?
What kind of person is this Gu Bai?
"puff……"

"Crash..."

Suddenly, the bamboo raft shook, and there seemed to be something in the water, and many bubbles began to float up.

The terracotta warriors tied with iron chains moved strangely, making creaking sounds.

"Oh no! We might have run into some trap!"

Hu Bayi and the other two turned pale instantly.

That old man, King Xian, has always been vicious.

The traps he set up are most likely to cost lives!

"Thump...thump..."

At the same time, sounds of stone figurines falling from the stone walls could be heard all around.

And it was so dense that it seemed as if all the stone figurines in the cave had fallen into the water.

"It's over. These human figurines will turn into water ghosts and come to take our lives!"

"Damn it, it wasn't Fatty who harmed you. If you want revenge, go find that old bastard King Xian!"

The fat man cursed himself while taking out the prepared weapons from his backpack.

Hu Bayi also felt uneasy and looked around vigilantly.

It’s just that it would be fine if you didn’t look at it, but once you do, it’s even more creepy.

There were countless human figurines hanging densely in front of us. It seemed that some mechanism was triggered and these human figurines fell into the water one by one, which made people's scalp tingle.

"Oh my god! They are all human figurines!" "Quick, row quickly!"

Several people were shocked and moved forward at full speed.

But at this moment, the water surface seemed to be boiling, and large clusters of bubbles began to emerge.

Hu Bayi shone the flashlight over there.

The strong light shines on the figurines.

The moment the originally dry terracotta warriors came into contact with water, countless bubbles emerged from their bodies.

As the soaking time went by, the skin of the figurines began to crack, and countless insect eggs were brought out by the bubbles and floated on the water surface.

When these insect eggs come into contact with water, they expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like a dry sponge meeting water, and in the blink of an eye they become insects the size of a fingernail.

This worm has something like a fish ball growing on its body and it swims very fast in the water.

They were all very purposeful and were heading towards Gu Bai and his group's bamboo raft.

"This...what the hell is this!"

Fatty Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He picked up a bamboo pole and started beating the insects, trying to drive them away.

Seeing this, Gu Bai couldn't help but remind him, "You better be careful, this thing is a bug made by magic, it's poisonous."

The fat man was startled and stopped moving.

"Brother Gu Bai, what exactly is this magic?"

"The art of witchcraft is a kind of sorcery. The power of the art of witchcraft depends on how cruel the method of making the witch figurines is. The more cruel the method, the more poisonous the insects cultivated will be!"

Gu Bai pointed at the figurines and said:
"Before they died, these people were trapped in a gruel and then sealed alive."

"Look, they were still struggling in agony before they died."

Hu Bayi and the other two were already feeling uneasy, and now after hearing what he said, they became even more frightened.

"After being swallowed, the insect eggs will quickly hatch and in three to five days they will have eaten all of a person's internal organs, leaving them an empty shell. As time goes by, they will slowly turn into a petrified pupa."

The fat man was horrified when he heard this: "What...what are these bugs used for?"

"They love to suck human blood, and they are extremely poisonous!"

Hu Bayi observed the bug carefully and said, "Don't be too nervous. I know this bug."

"This is a water pig wasp. Although it is very powerful, it can't fly. As long as we don't fall into the water, we don't have to be afraid of this thing."

But just as he finished his words, the bamboo raft shook and seemed like it would capsize at any time.

I saw those water boar bees, all piled up under the bamboo raft, trying to pull the raft into the water.

"Oh my god! Are these bugs really spirits?!"

Fatty Wang was still frightened.

Hu Bayi took a deep breath and said:

"Don't worry, even though there are a lot of bugs, this bamboo raft is stable and won't be dragged into the water!"

However, just as he finished speaking, Gu Bai suddenly pointed forward.

"Not always."

At this time, all these water boar bees gathered on one side of the bamboo raft, constantly destroying the balance of the raft.

Just when Hu Bayi and others had just regained their balance, they quickly broke away again.

As a result, the bamboo raft swayed from side to side again and was in danger of capsizing at any time.

Hu Bayi and the other two turned pale.

The three of them immediately frantically used bamboo poles, engineering shovels and other items to beat the water boar wasps and drive them out.

Gu Bai glanced at his wet trouser legs and frowned slightly.

Then he reached out and touched the green snake coiled around his shoulder.

"Go."

“If you don’t eat the food that’s delivered to your door, you’ll lose it!”

"Hiss..."

The green snake's eyes lit up and it immediately spit out its tongue excitedly.

Hu Bayi was shocked to see the green snake jump into the water.

"Brother Gu Bai, these water pig bees are not easy to deal with. No matter how powerful this bamboo leaf green snake is, two fists cannot beat four hands!"

Gu Bai shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, that's its food."
