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

Chapter 371 Ten Thousand Years Anti-Theft Mechanism
  Therefore, some people regard the locust as the vanguard of the locust god during the locust plague.

Extremely fierce.

The reason why there has been no large-scale damage in history, and there have been reports of locusts devouring humans and animals, is mainly because the number of these things is relatively small and they cannot cover the sky like the East Asian migratory locusts.

If so many locusts really appear, they will not only devour crops and fields.

These locusts can eat people directly.

Wherever he passed, there were piles of bones.

However, the sound-guided locusts that are not easy to breed in the Central Plains are relatively easy to breed in the Wuxia Coffin Mountain area.

The vegetation here is dense, the climate is humid, and there are many caves suitable for locusts to lay eggs and reproduce.

But the most terrifying thing, and what shocked Shirley Yang, was the densely packed caves on the cliff in front of her, as well as the murals she had seen before.

Shirley Yang was still working on most of the murals that appeared on the Baibu Bird Trail.

Others really don't have this strength.

Locusts appeared in many of the images.

There are even scenes of locusts devouring humans and animals, leaving white bones on the ground.

However, Shirley Yang did not think about guiding locusts at that time.

After all, it is too bizarre for locusts to eat humans.

It is difficult for ordinary people to directly imagine such a thing.

At that time, I thought it was the ancient ancestors who used some symbolic meaning when they painted.

After the locust plague, it feels like the bones are exposed in the wild.

But I never expected it.

The murals left by ancient ancestors are not symbols at all.

People are just realistic.

The locusts here really eat people.

"No, everyone, be careful inside those caves..."

Shirley Young’s reminder was too late.

Before Chief of Staff Yang finished speaking, he heard a series of strange sounds.

Like the sound of friction between metal and glass, the sharp mirror is harsh and heart-wrenching.

Wang Ye looked inside with his piercing eyes and found that those thatched figures wearing Taoist priest clothes seemed to be alive.

Constantly swaying on the cliff.

The colored hood on the head looked extremely ferocious and strange in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, several golden threads flew out from the caves on the cliff.

If you look closely, they are all palm-sized locusts.

Each locust is covered with golden armor, its wings flap, and it flies very fast.

Wang Ye's eyesight was so good that he could even see the sharp teeth on the locust's thigh.

There was a sound of sucking in cold air from behind Wang Ye.

Chief of Staff Yang mentioned just now that these locusts are relatively large and eat not only plants, but also the flesh and blood of humans and animals.

But no one thought that the locusts here could be so big.

One is nearly half a foot long and an inch wide.

They no longer look like locusts, but rather like some kind of small bird, even bigger than some small sparrows.

Even worse, there are a lot of books.

There are thousands of caves on the cliffs on both sides.

Thousands of giant golden-armored locusts emerged from every cave.

For a time, the entire valley above the Shinto was covered with dense locusts.

These locusts seemed to be attracted by some force and began to gather together.

Then flew out of the valley.

Shirley Yang's face turned pale when she saw it, and she quickly shouted, "Everyone, hide now!"

Then everyone ran towards the scare stage.

But the area of ​​the scare platform is not that big.

And there was no place to hide. Those black sheep stone beasts are only two meters high and cannot stop these locusts at all.

There were expressions of despair on the faces of several people.

Wang Ye smiled.

In Wang Ye's view, these golden-armored monster insects that cover the sky are experience points flying all over the sky.

"Quick, there are swift caves on the cliff below the scare platform. Some caves can hide people."

Wang Ye shouted.

Then I realized it immediately.

The Swift Birds, Shadowless Immortal Bridge, and Golden-armored Maoxian here must have been made by the Guanshan Taibao who originally arranged the Dixian Village.

Good guy, what a big deal.

These huge locusts are controlled by the grass fairies at the entrance of the cave and usually do not come out.

Or it won’t come out that much.

At a certain time, some locusts will be released from the cave.

The swifts outside the scare platform are far away from the sea. There is not so much food to live here, and they cannot form such a large number of gatherings.

It is precisely because of the existence of these locusts that these two swallows settled under the frightening platform.

With these locusts as food supplements, hundreds of thousands of swifts can gather together without worrying about running out of food.

At the same time, locusts will continue to reproduce and will not migrate away due to a large population explosion.

If a tomb robber comes to the Soul-Scare Platform through the Shadowless Immortal Bridge and rashly enters the Shinto.

Some kind of exquisite mechanism will be triggered, allowing those grass fairies to activate and attract all the locusts from the cave.

These locusts will swarm out.

Grave robbers in Shinto will be eaten until no bones are left.

Even tomb robbers with extraordinary skills, including powerful masters such as Mojin Xiaowei, Faqiu Tianguan, Banshan Taoist, and Xiling Rikishi, are faced with an overwhelming number of tomb robbers.
  There is no special way to guide locusts.

Unless you know in advance that there are similar arrangements here, and you carry a large amount of anthelmintics, poisons, etc. with you.

Wang Ye thought for a moment and immediately knew that even so, he might not be able to escape the attack of the swarm of locusts.

The locust swarm in this world line has also obviously strengthened.

It turned into a monster half a foot long and one inch wide, with an evil aura on its body.

The most amazing thing about this mechanism is not its power.

In fact, there were many extremely lethal traps in ancient tombs.

Some of them are definitely not as powerful as the locust swarms.

But these traps have a huge flaw.

It just ages.

It will not be able to withstand the erosion of time.

No matter how strong the trap is, after thousands of years have passed, it will decay and rust, and its strength will decrease.

Most of them will fail.

Unless it is a large tomb like the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, where a mountain of earth is directly created and crushed by force and engineering work.

But the excellence of the traps at Dixian Village's Haunting Station lies in their persistence.

Locusts continue to breed in caves.

As long as the number is large, they will come out and become food for the golden swifts.

Those swallows will restrict the locusts so that they will not escape and can only live in this canyon of the Shinto.

Even formed an ecosystem.

As long as the climate does not undergo earth-shaking changes, this trap can even continue to be effective and will not change for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Because this trap is alive!
  It's so breathtaking,

It is actually possible to use nature and the mutual restraint between animals to create a stable ecosystem specifically designed to prevent theft.

This kind of mechanism is truly a ten thousand year mechanism.
