Chapter 258 Black Cloud Peeling (2)

After confirming that there was no mechanism, everyone stood up and began to study the stone box in front of them. The art of the Indians was simple and rough, and the workmanship of the stone box was simple and simple, without any decorative patterns. Pucci', of course, we don't understand what it means.

The stone box was not locked, and the gap was red. Xu Kaiyi was wearing gloves, touched it with his tentacles, and said, "It's tree wax."

Xiao Zuoju looked excited and said, "Open it and have a look."

Xu Kaiyi took out the dagger and scratched along the slits of tree wax. This tree wax should be used to isolate the air and prevent oxidation, but it has no effect on preventing theft.

I thought to myself: If the sun scepter is really so awesome, is it still afraid of oxidation?

While thinking, Xu Kaiyi slowly and cautiously opened the stone cover.

The stone cover was only half opened, and the rest of us were lighting up the surroundings. Before we could see what was inside, Xu Kaiyi suddenly let go of his hand as if he saw something terrible, and the lid of the stone box fell off again immediately. down.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Kaiyi said: "Fake! It's been tricked!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that there was something moving inside the stone box, and he trembled himself, and the stone cover was pushed up. , as if some living thing was exerting force inside.

Xu Kaiyi suddenly stretched out his hand to press the stone cover, and immediately shouted to me: "Prepare the musket! It's a driller!" Driller?What is that?Although I didn't know, Xu Kaiyi knew something was wrong with his face, and immediately went to get the musket in his equipment bag.

Qin Min's expression on the other side changed drastically, and he said, "Driller! Hurry up and roast it with a musket!"

As I loaded the musket, I said anxiously: "What is that? A bug?"

Qin Min quickly said: "It's a very, very small bug that can penetrate into human skin. It's nothing to be afraid of if you encounter a large group of it! It also has another name called 'skin bug'. Drilling into the skin layer of an animal, the whole skin can be separated in a blink of an eye!"

I go?so smart?
I finally know why Xu Kaiyi put me on the musket, he wanted to roast these bugs in the stone box.

Although it's called a bug, it's really strong enough. Xu Kaiyi pressed the stone box with both hands, and he couldn't hold it down.

I immediately hit the musket, and the orange-red flame sprayed out from the nozzle. Just as I was about to use the musket to roast the stone box, I saw a stream of black water flowing out from the slit!
Take a closer look, where is the black water? It is clearly an insect smaller than a sesame seed, crawling out from the cracks connecting the stone boxes. Xu Kaiyi pressed the stone box, but it was useless!

It turned out that the red tree wax was actually used to block the peeling insects!

The worm was so small that I couldn't see the exact shape, and it flowed out from the cracks on all sides of the stone box like black water. Because Xu Kaiyi was pressing the stone box, the skinning worm that was close to him turned around and headed towards him. Climb on hand.

I turned on the musket and swiped at the left side of the stone box. Xu Kaiyi's hand was on the right side, but I couldn't.These peeling insects, once burned, not even ashes are left.

They were very fast, like flowing water, as soon as they approached Xu Kaiyi's hand, although Xu Kaiyi hid quickly, he still crawled onto his hand.

At this moment, the little chrysanthemum that also had a musket also opened the musket, Xu Kaiyi withdrew his hand fiercely, and shouted: "Concentrate the firepower!" As soon as he withdrew his hand, all the peeling insects inside would definitely come out. When they go out, it will be bad.

The moment Xu Kaiyi let go, the two muskets of Xiao Zuoju and I swept on the stone box at the same time, one left and one right, and the whole stone box was wrapped in flames.Xu Kaiyi stepped back quickly, took off his coat, and followed the posture of undressing, using his sleeves to bring the stripping insects down.

Under the scorching fire, no more peeling insects crawled out. Just when I thought they were about to be burned, the stone cover suddenly slammed into the sky and fell to the ground beside it. At the same time, a cloud of black mist suddenly rose from the stone box and quickly dispersed in the air.

Jin Le next to him shouted, "Cease the fire, there's nothing inside!"

Little Chrysanthemum and I turned off the musket, and the stone box was scorching hot, and the bottom of it was actually empty!
"This is a cover. The stone box is empty, and there should be a lot of space underneath. I don't know how many peeling insects are hidden there." Jin Le turned the light into the stone box, and the light shone down along the rectangular hole, but It can't be photographed at all.

At this moment, in the light, on the four walls below, there was another wave of sleepy people crawling up from below.

"Damn!" I couldn't help but swear, and immediately aimed the gun at the top of the stone box, and turned on the musket again.

After a round of sweeping, the black tide disappeared immediately. However, before I could take a break, another wave came again. This happened many times, and these peeling insects seemed to be endless.

Our muskets are not big, and the fuel filled inside is also limited. If it is a person or an animal, one shot can set him up, so it is logically enough.

But at this moment, the musket could no longer support the small but endless bugs.

In desperation, I immediately said: "I said, put the lid on quickly, let's get something, and then plug those seams? The musket is about to fail!"

Qin Min said: "It's useless, these peeling insects can live for so long because they will sleep, just like cicadas."

Like a cicada?My scalp tingled, and I remembered what Jian Weizhong told me about ancient funerals when I was in Tarim.

Cicadas are just cicadas. In ancient times, cicada-shaped objects were used as funerary vessels, because cicadas have a very remarkable ability, that is, they can sleep.It only appears for a short time in summer and then disappears, and then goes deep into the soil to lay eggs and lay eggs for a whole cycle. In the second summer, it emerges from the soil again.

Therefore, the ancients gave cicadas the meaning of immortality and rebirth, and cicada-shaped utensils have been unearthed in many ancient tombs.

And Qin Min said that the peeling insects are dormant like cicadas, so even if we plug up the slits, it will not help, because they have already woken up from dormancy!Not surprisingly, the red resin is the key to the Incas making the skinning insect dormant and living below it until now!
