Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 13 The Terrifying Hanged Man Figurine
  Ever since he saw the giant beast, Hu Bayi had been turning on the strong searchlight, feeling a little uneasy.

The speed of the river also became rapid.

"Look! Those look like human figurines."

Hu Bayi pointed forward with one hand and said to Wang Ye and the others, with some surprise in his tone.

Several people heard the news and left.

Through the light beam of the strong searchlight, you can see countless ancient human figurines hanging behind the beast door.

After looking carefully for a while, everyone discovered that these hanging figures were actually the stone figurines they had seen on the mountain road before!
  Now several people already know that these stone figurines are not solid.

Inside the thin shell are countless writhing worms.

Thinking of this, Hu Bayi and others couldn't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

Wang Ye is looking forward to it very much.

The human skin figurines hanging upside down in front are all full of worms.

There are so many worms.

A big wave of experience points is coming.

Although the realm and ancestor dragon bloodline upgrades require much more than the first time, we also know from the number of hanging human figurines that the number of worms is also greater than that on the highway.

Hope to become stronger again.

In this way, you can use more powerful skills and face the dangers that follow.

Wang Ye thought secretly in his heart.

Seeing that the bamboo raft was about to enter the mouth of the giant beast, it was like entering the underworld from the human world.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were both extremely nervous. They held on to the bamboo pole with both hands for fear that it would accidentally tip over.

Shirley Yangsu clenched her hands tightly, and she was a little nervous.

In addition to the searchlight, a wolf-eye flashlight was used to scan around.

Finally, the bamboo raft became faster and faster and rushed into the mouth of the giant beast.

After crossing the giant mouth, Shirley Yang in front of the bamboo raft shouted, "Get down quickly!"

It turns out that there is a drop of about one meter in the water before and after the giant beast's mouth.

The bamboo raft tilted and its head plunged into the water. After a while, it took a while to raise its head and regain its balance.

Thanks to Shirley Yang's reminder, several people did not fall into the water.

Just when Hu Bayi and others wanted to raise their heads, they found that they couldn't lift their heads at all.

It turned out that the human figurines of the Hanged Man were now only more than one meter high from the water.

As long as a few people straighten up, they may bump into the human figurines.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang could only squat down and kept pushing their pennies toward the bottom of the water, trying to slow down.

Unexpectedly, after entering the mouth of the giant beast, the depth of the water suddenly became extremely deep, and the four-meter-long bamboo pole could not hold it to the bottom.

Just when a few people wanted to take a closer look at their surroundings, the searchlight in front of the bamboo raft flickered a few times and then went out.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Probably because the front of the bamboo raft plunged into the water just now, the searchlight entered the water and short-circuited.

Shirley Yang shot the searchlight several times, but there was no response.

There was no other way. Several people could only use headlamps and flashlights to check the surrounding environment.

Soon I discovered that behind the giant beast's mouth, there was a very narrow waterway, about four or five meters wide.

Moreover, the entire waterway is almost straight. I don’t know how long it is, and the end can’t be seen at all.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang immediately used their bamboo poles to prop up the stone walls on both sides to slow down.

The bamboo raft quickly rushed to the surface of the water where the human figurines were hanging upside down.

Several people couldn't help but look at the human figurines that almost passed each other face to face.

These human figurines all have their hands behind their backs.

The surface has turned dark brown and is covered with an unknown moss-like thing.

Judging from the posture, it looks like he is tied up.

His facial features were blurred and he could not see clearly.

However, Wang Ye could still feel the pain from his posture.

Shirley Yang directed Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang to stop the bamboo raft. She walked to the edge and looked at the waterway. There was a stone figurine that fell off the copper chain and fell to the ground. Shirley Yang pointed at the stone figurines and said: "Lao Hu, Fatty, Wang Ye, although these stone figurines are vague in appearance, from the outline of their hair and clothes, they look a bit like those from the Han Dynasty. I feel something is wrong. I'll go down." have a look."

As she spoke, she adjusted the headlight circle of her mountaineering helmet to make the light more concentrated, then jumped off the bamboo raft and squatted down to look at the stone figurine on the ground.

"Commander Yang, put on your gloves. There may be bacteria left by poisonous insects on these figurines."

After these few days of life, several people were familiar with each other, so Wang Ye followed Hu Bayi and called Staff Yang.

He threw over a white glove.

Shirley Yang, with sharp eyes and quick hands, took the gloves and said with a smile: "We, Wang Ye, are more careful, thank you."

Then, she jumped to the shore, squatted next to the figurines, took out her paratrooper knife, and lightly scratched the figurines.

The human figurines on the shore are the same as those that were hit by cars on the side of the road. They also have only a thin shell.

After being cut open, it was filled with shriveled maggots and eggs.

It looks dense and quite disgusting.

Wang Ye also walked over, ready to release the dragon pattern on his palm, but unfortunately, these beasts seemed to be dead and had no energy to swallow them.

Wang Ye secretly said it was a pity and shook his head.

"These human figurines don't seem to be made of stone."

Shirley Yang said something.

Fatty Wang asked curiously: "It's not made of stone? Is it still made of mud?"

"It was made by a living person."

Wang Ye opened his mouth to tell the truth.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang who were sitting on the bamboo raft were shocked when they heard this.

"Cousin, don't scare me. Was it done by a living person?"

"So cruel?"

Wang Ye nodded.

Before setting off, several people studied in detail the records about King Xian of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

King Xian was the witch king of the Dian Kingdom in ancient times. He was best at all kinds of witchcraft and sorcery.

The most famous of them is the art of 狗.

The so-called black magic is black magic that uses the soul of the deceased as a medium.

Moreover, the more painful the death of the undead is, the more powerful the evil spell will be.

At this time, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang both came over. After looking at it for a while, Hu Bayi quickly deduced that these human figurines should be the product of evil spirits.

It involves tying up a person, instilling evil spirits, and then sealing the seven orifices of the person's body with special materials.

After processing, these people were hung upside down on the copper chains at the top of the cave.

Most people will be suffocated to death.

But the terrible things didn't happen until these people died.

Those who suffocate to death are all lucky, and those who are still alive are the really miserable ones.

The swallowed parasites are actually the eggs of the parasites.

These eggs hatch in the human body and turn into worms that devour the flesh, blood, and juices in the human body.

The worms hollow out the human body bit by bit, and finally only the human skin remains.

Because the seven orifices of the corpse are sealed, the worms inside are in a state close to a vacuum, so they will not continue to grow, but will begin a long dormancy.

That is to say, all the hangings in these caves are human skin figurines.

After listening to Shirley Yang's description and looking at the densely packed human skin figurines, even Wang Ye, who knew the truth, had goosebumps on his body.

"It's so disgusting. This King Xian is really nothing."

Fatty Wang cursed fiercely into the air.

"Come on, I have a bad feeling."

Hu Bayi urged everyone.

Shirley Yang nodded in agreement. Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang immediately held up the bamboo rafts with all their strength, trying to cross the river full of hanging human skin figurines as soon as possible.
