Tomb raiding live stream: Starting as the mute Zhang
Chapter 30 The Stone Gate Opens, Corpse Beetles Emerge
There was no lock on the stone door, only two copper rings. Lin Guoce reached out and grabbed the copper rings, pulling hard backward. The stone door was heavy, making a harsh grinding sound, and slowly opened inward.
It was pitch black behind the door.
The first thing the flashlight beam illuminated was a terracotta figurine.
Dozens of terracotta figures stand in two rows, facing each other. Each figure is as tall as a person, wearing Han Dynasty armor and holding a spear. The faces of the terracotta figures are painted in various colors, with black holes for the eyes, making them look particularly eerie under the flashlight beam.
"Terracotta Warriors?" Professor Zhou Xu'an excitedly tried to rush inside, but was stopped by Lin Guoce.
"Wait a minute." Lin Guoce picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the terracotta warrior formation.
The stone rolled across the ground and came to rest at the feet of the terracotta warrior.
Nothing happens.
"It should be safe," Lin Guoce said, but he still cautiously went in first.
The others followed behind him.
Wu Sansheng walked in the middle of the group. As he passed the terracotta figures, he glanced at them. The terracotta figures had tiny cracks on their surfaces, and the cracks were black, as if there was something inside.
He frowned, but didn't say anything.
Passing through the array of terracotta figures, you enter a larger space. In the center is a stone platform, upon which rests a bronze box. The box is unlocked, and the lid is ajar.
Liu Changfu had just had his tooth knocked out by a pebble, and his mouth was still swollen, causing him to speak with a lisp: "There must be treasure in the box! Go open it quickly!"
He rushed over and reached out to lift the lid of the box.
"Don't move!" Wu Sansheng shouted.
Liu Changfu's hand froze in mid-air. He turned around and glared at him: "What is it now, Uncle Wu?"
"There's powder on the lid." Wu Sansheng walked over and pointed to the edge of the lid. "See that? White powder. That's phosphorus powder; it ignites on contact."
Liu Changfu looked closely and indeed saw a layer of extremely fine white powder. He quickly withdrew his hand: "Then... what should we do?"
Wu Sansheng took out a piece of cloth from the tattered canvas bag, wrapped it around his hand, and gently pushed open the lid of the box.
The lid of the box is fully open.
There are no treasures inside.
There was only a pile of black, shriveled things.
It looked like dried herbs, or the corpse of some kind of insect.
"What is this?" Kun asked, leaning closer to look.
Wu Sansheng's expression changed: "Step back!"
But it was too late.
The black things inside the box suddenly started moving.
It wasn't a general movement, but rather ripples on the surface. Then, from the black mass, countless tiny insects surged forth.
It is about the size of a palm, with a glossy black shell, a pair of huge mouthparts on its head, and six long, thin legs, allowing it to crawl at an extremely fast speed.
Corpse beetle.
Same as the one in the ancient tomb last time.
The sheer number of them was terrifying, like a black tide surging out of the boxes and spreading outwards.
"Run!" Lin Guoce roared.
Everyone turned and ran.
But the array of terracotta warriors blocked their way.
To make matters worse, the terracotta figures began to crack.
The crack widened, and corpse beetles emerged from it. It turned out that the terracotta figurine was hollow, and corpse beetles were kept inside.
A pincer attack from both sides.
The carrion beetle swarm surrounded them.
"Fire!" Lin Guoce ordered.
The special forces opened fire, bullets striking the carrion beetles' shells, some penetrating them and splattering black blood. But there were too many carrion beetles; they simply couldn't run out of bullets.
A carrion beetle jumped onto Kun Ge's back and bit his neck.
Kun Ge screamed.
Wu Sansheng reached out, pinched the corpse beetle with two fingers, and squeezed it hard.
The carapace shattered, and black blood splattered out.
He threw the body on the ground.
But even more corpse beetles surged in.
A young special forces soldier was entangled by several corpse beetles. He tried desperately to shake them off, but the beetles bit his leg and crawled into his trouser leg.
"Ah—!" he screamed and fell to the ground.
The swarm of corpse beetles immediately overwhelmed him.
A few seconds later, the screams stopped.
The first person to die has appeared.
Liu Changfu turned pale upon seeing this. He looked around and saw Chen Man right next to him, being pulled back by Wang Yihan.
His eyes darted around, and suddenly he reached out and pushed Chen Man forward.
Push them towards the carrion beetle swarm.
"You block it!" he shouted.
Chen Man exclaimed in surprise and lunged forward.
They were about to fall into a pile of corpse beetles.
A hand reached out from the side, grabbed the back of Chen Man's collar, and pulled hard.
Chen Man was pulled back and thrown to the ground.
It is Wu Sansheng.
After pulling Chen Man back, he didn't even look at her, but turned to look at Liu Changfu.
His eyes were as cold as ice.
Liu Changfu felt uneasy under his gaze and took a step back: "What...what are you doing?"
Wu Sansheng remained silent.
Take a step forward and lift your foot.
He kicked Liu Changfu in the chest.
That kick was extremely powerful.
Liu Changfu was sent flying, covering a distance of three meters, before landing in the swarm of corpse beetles.
He landed, and before he could even get up, the corpse beetles had already engulfed his body.
"Help! Help!"
The screams lasted only two seconds before turning into chewing sounds.
Wu Sansheng stood there, watching the carrion beetles devour Liu Changfu's corpse, and said calmly:
"People like that are a waste of their lives."
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it.
The live stream chat exploded:
[ID is dead! Liu Changfu is dead!]
[That was the kick from the middle-aged man! He's a pro!]
[That ID deserved it! Pushing and harming others!]
[ID Chen Man almost died!]
Lin Guoce stared at Wu Sansheng in shock.
The pull and kick just now were so fast they were almost invisible. This is definitely not something an ordinary middle-aged feng shui master could do.
After the carrion beetles finished eating Liu Changfu, they surged towards the crowd again.
The quantity has increased.
Wu Sansheng frowned as he watched the swarm of corpse beetles approaching.
Then he did something that surprised everyone.
He put two fingers in his mouth.
It emitted a series of sounds.
"Giggle...giggle...giggle..."
The sound was strange, like bones grinding together, or like the call of some kind of bird. The pitch fluctuated, with a peculiar rhythm.
The carrion beetle swarm suddenly stopped.
They seemed to have heard something terrifying and began to back away.
The backward speed is faster than the forward speed.
Within seconds, the carrion beetle swarm retreated back into the box and terracotta figurines and disappeared.
All that remained on the ground were the skeletons of Liu Changfu and the special forces soldier, along with a few scattered corpses of beetles.
The space returned to quiet.
Only heavy breathing could be heard.
Everyone looked at Wu Sansheng.
Wu Sansheng lowered his hand, his expression returning to its usual simple and honest look, as if nothing had happened.
He rubbed his hands together and said to Lin Guoce, "Captain Lin, shall we continue?"
Lin Guoce stared at him and asked, word by word, "Who exactly are you?"
Wu Sansheng chuckled, "I am Wu Sansheng, a feng shui master."
"That sound just now..."
"It's an ancestral insect-repelling technique," Wu Sansheng said. "Everyone in the countryside knows it; it's used to scare away mosquitoes."
Deworming techniques?
To swat away mosquitoes?
That sound could frighten and scare away a swarm of corpse beetles?
Ghosts believe.
But Lin Guoce did not ask any further questions.
He took a deep breath and looked at the white bones on the ground.
Two dead people.
Liu Changfu brought this upon himself, but that special forces soldier…
He clenched his fist.
"Pack up and let's move on."
The group bypassed the skeletons, passed through the array of terracotta warriors, and headed towards the other side of the space.
There is a small door there.
Wu Sansheng walked last.
He glanced at Liu Changfu's skeleton as he passed by.
His eyes were indifferent.
There was no emotion whatsoever.
Then I walked past.
In my mind, a system notification sounded:
【Ding】
[The host's behavior closely matches Zhang Qiling's character: decisive in killing, eliminating evil and saving lives]
[Current role-playing level: 25%]
[Reward: Ghost Whistle Ability (Beginner)]
[Ghost Whistle: A secret technique of the Zhang family, using special frequency sounds to repel insects and ward off evil spirits. With increased proficiency, it can control more powerful creatures.]
Information flowed in.
This section discusses how to control the vocal cords with breath, how to produce specific frequencies, and how to adjust the pitch for different evil spirits.
He got it.
In this world, no one knows that this ability belongs to Zhang Qiling.
Only him.
The group passed through a small door and entered another passage.
Kun sidled up to Wu Sansheng and whispered, "Uncle Wu...you were...amazing just now."
Wu Sansheng glanced at him: "What's so amazing?"
"That kick to Liu Changfu, and that sound..."
"Oh, that one." Wu Sansheng chuckled. "A country bumpkin, very strong. He learned his voice from his grandfather, used to shoo away bugs in the fields."
Kun was skeptical, but didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Man walked over and bowed to Wu Sansheng: "Uncle Wu, thank you for saving me."
Wu Sansheng waved his hand: "Just doing it."
"If it weren't for you, I would..."
"It's over," Wu Sansheng interrupted her. "Look ahead."
Chen Man nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Wang Yihan put her arm around her shoulder and gave Wu Sansheng a grateful look.
Lin Guoce walked in front, but kept his ears open to the sounds behind him.
This Wu Sansheng is definitely not simple.
That skill, that voice...
Is it...
An absurd thought popped into his head.
But he shook his head, suppressing the thought.
impossible.
Xie Linyuan has that kind of temperament, that kind of height and build.
Wu Sansheng was a bald, middle-aged man with a hunched back and a rustic accent.
totally different.
but……
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
At the end of the passage was another stone chamber.
This time, the walls of the stone chamber were covered with inscriptions.
Professor Zhou Xu'an rushed over, his hands trembling with excitement: "This is...this is an epitaph! It records the life of the deceased!"
He shone his flashlight on the paper and read it aloud, word by word:
"Tomb of Huo Yun, General Who Guards the South during the Han Dynasty..."
"Huo Yun..." Jiang Shouyi murmured, "Historical records state that he was a general during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, who distinguished himself in the conquest of the southern barbarians. But the records say he was buried near Chang'an, so how could he be here?"
The professor continued reading: "...Having obtained a secret treasure for immortality, he incurred the suspicion of the royal family, faked his death, went into hiding, and was buried here..."
The secret to immortality?
Everyone was taken aback.
Wu Sansheng walked to the wall and looked at the words.
longevity.
It's about achieving immortality again.
How many secrets about immortality are hidden in this world?
The Qilin tattoo on his shoulder blade started to heat up again.
