Chapter 480 Taboo, Poisonous Insect Mark
Chapter 480 Taboo, Poisonous Insect Mark
Fatty, Xinxin, and Yang Mi walked over.
"These people must have violated the taboos of the tomb owner and died in an unexpected disaster." The fat man said regretfully.
"No matter what, they died because of us, and I feel really guilty."
Ye Bai squatted in front of a corpse to examine it, and suddenly found a mark on its abdomen.
The mark was dark red and looked like it was left by some kind of poisonous insect crawling over it.
He took a stick and pried open the corpse's abdomen, only to see a pitch-black insect egg.
“It’s a Gu.”
When Yang Mi saw the appearance of the insect eggs, she couldn't help but gasp.
"What is a Gu worm?" The fat man looked confused.
"The Gu worm is also called the Corpse-Eating Gu," Yang Mi explained. "It's unique to the Wu Clan. It can burrow into a person's stomach and live there, sucking out their nutrients and energy, causing them to die suddenly."
Ye Bai picked up the eggs and muttered to himself, "No wonder I always feel uncomfortable."
The eggs smell a bit fishy, and the mucus is extremely disgusting and makes people want to vomit.
"How could something like this survive?" The fat man curled his lips with a look of disdain.
Yang Mi sighed, "It's said that the Gu worm is very powerful. It can take away a person's lifespan, strengthen the body, increase strength, and even cast illusions through Gu magic, making it impossible to defend against it."
"Aren't we in danger then?!" the fat man said in panic.
Ye Bai smiled mysteriously: "I have seen more terrifying poisonous insects, so dealing with them is not a problem."
When everyone heard what he said, they pricked up their ears.
"Brother Ye, what exactly do you do? Do you know a Gu Master?" the fat man asked excitedly.
Ye Bai nodded slightly: "I graduated from medical school and studied with a Gu Master for a year."
Everyone suddenly understood, and their eyes turned to Ye Bai with admiration and awe. He was simply an idol-level figure.
The fat man rubbed his hands together and said with a shameless face, "I heard that Gu Masters are very powerful. Can you teach me a few tricks?"
"Get lost!" Ye Bai glared at him and changed the subject, "Let me see what's in these boxes first."
He walked over and opened one of the boxes, and found it was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, which was dazzling.
Ye Bai casually picked out a jade bracelet and put it on his wrist, saying with satisfaction, "Although this jade bracelet is not a rare treasure, it is worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan."
The rest of the people were envious and jealous, especially Yang Mi and Fatty. They were so depressed that Ye Bai had taken away so many treasures.
Ye Bai ignored them, walked to the stone gate, raised his leg and kicked somewhere on the stone gate.
thump—
The stone gate shook violently.
"What the hell, what are you doing?" The fat man was so scared that he took two steps back and hid behind Yang Mi.
"This is a fake door. Kick it open and you'll find the main door."
Ye Bai kicked the stone door away, revealing the dark space behind it.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Yang Mi couldn't take her eyes off it instantly.
Behind the stone gate is a narrow corridor, at the end of which is a huge and magnificent palace.
The furnishings inside the stone chamber are extremely gorgeous, with carved beams and painted buildings, glazed jade disks, coral trees, agate and jade wares... every piece is priceless.
There was a huge coffin in the center of the stone chamber. The lid of the coffin was overturned. The person inside had long since rotted away, and the bones emitted a foul stench.
"What's in here?" The fat man stared at the skeleton in the coffin in surprise.
"I guess there's a corpse inside. Maybe some emperor died, and the burial objects were rich." Xinxin interrupted.
Yang Mi frowned: "If this is really the emperor's mausoleum, then aren't we in danger?"
Although she was an ordinary person, she also knew how dangerous the emperor's mausoleum was.
The fat man chuckled and patted Yang Mi on the shoulder: "Don't worry about it, I believe Brother Ye can lead everyone out of here safely."
"How do you know?" Yang Mi asked puzzledly.
The fat man said mysteriously: "Because Brother Ye is a god."
"Are you mentally retarded?"
"Brother Ye is not only extremely powerful, but also extremely intelligent. He is an absolute master!"
Ye Bai rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to the fat man.
He looked around carefully and found that there was no danger in the stone chamber, so he walked to the coffin to study it.
The texture of this coffin is very special, it seems to be made of pure copper and feels very solid.
He reached out and knocked on the coffin, and it made a banging sound, and it felt very solid.
"Everything here is intact, it doesn't look like they have been stolen." Ye Bai muttered and continued to study the coffin.
At this moment, the fat man suddenly shouted: "Damn, there are words here, it's a cipher!"
"Do you understand?" Ye Bai glanced at him.
"I..." The fat man's voice weakened: "I don't understand..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi moved closer to the coffin.
Sure enough, there were ancient and obscure words engraved on the side wall of the coffin.
Ye Bai read it carefully and found that this should be a secret code left by an ancient Miao Gu Master.
The ciphertext was not complicated and was quickly deciphered.
"King of Gu..." After Yang Mi finished reading the last line, her pretty face turned pale, as if she was greatly stimulated.
Everyone gathered around.
"What is the Gu King?" the fat man asked doubtfully.
Yang Mi pointed at the coffin and said, "The most important food for Gu worms is babies."
"What?!" The fat man was so scared that he almost jumped up.
"This Gu King is the mother of the Gu worms, specializing in breeding larvae."
Yang Mi pondered for a moment and said, "The stone door just now is a mechanism leading to another space."
The fat man asked nervously, "Do you have a way to break the mechanism?"
"The mechanism is difficult to break. We must gather the strength of four people." Yang Mi said.
Ye Bai walked forward, glanced at the totem on the stone wall, and said, "Let me try."
He walked forward, placed his hands on the totem, and practiced the "Soul-Devouring Art".
"Hey, it seems like the spiritual power in my body has been extracted and flowed onto the stone wall." Ye Bai said in surprise.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
"The totem seems to be responding to what you did." The fat man looked at the totem and saw a pattern emerging from the totem, lifelike and vivid.
This pattern is exactly a green dragon!
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon roared towards the sky with overwhelming power.
Click!
Suddenly, the totem broke and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
Ye Bai squatted down and looked carefully at the broken totem.
He found that there was a sunken area in the center of the totem, with some mechanisms arranged inside, which were consistent with the pattern in the stone chamber.
He tried to touch the depression with his palm, but found it was motionless.
So he once again mobilized the spiritual power in his body, rushing it towards the depression, trying to fill it up.
Om-!
The spiritual power was injected into the pit, immediately causing a roar.
The patterns in the stone chamber flickered, and a strange wave spread out.
The originally intact tomb suddenly collapsed, and countless debris flew out.
The tomb was buried hundreds of meters underground and suddenly collapsed, causing an earthquake.
