Chapter 289 Something unexpected happened
“Kakaka...”
As the cracks on Tao Yong’s thighs became bigger and bigger, pieces of pottery began to break away from Tao Yong’s body. , revealing a string of thumb-sized, oval-shaped eggs inside Tao Yong's body.
The egg-shaped object in Tao Yong's body lost the restraints of the pottery fragments. After a piece of pottery fragment fell off, it finally lost its balance and "crackled" tilted out of Tao Yong's body, all piled up. At Tao Yong's feet.
And there were more and more, and soon a small mountain was piled up, blocking the holes in Tao Yong's thighs.
"Crack~"
The sound of breaking eggshells suddenly sounded.
The last egg was on top, and it suddenly broke.
The broken egg squirmed.
A dark leg poked out from the gap in the egg.
The next second!
A ferocious head emerged from the egg.
It turned out to be a black beetle as big as a thumb.
The black beetle bared its teeth and claws for a while.
Make a "buzzing" sound.
The beetle flapped its wings and flew up.
As this Beetle takes off.
A dense "rustling" sound came from the pile of eggs.
Then the egg pile began to collapse.
One by one, the beetles fluttered their wings and flew out.
Together with the first beetle, they kept wandering around the guard burial pit.
As time goes by, more and more black beetles emerge from Tao Yong's body and join the wandering army of beetles.
No beetles crawled out until Tao Yongzhong.
All the insect eggs accumulated on the ground hatched, and then these beetles flew towards the eighteen sarcophagi. The densely packed black beetles surrounded one of the sarcophagi airtightly.
“Crack, click, click…”
"Rust, rustle..."
A dense sound came from among the beetles, converging into a strange noise that made people's scalp numb.
As these beetles continued to vibrate, an egg-sized beeswax plug on the side of the sarcophagus was eaten away by the beetles, revealing a passage leading into the sarcophagus. A strange fragrance emitted from the passage , instantly filled the entire burial pit.
Smelling this strange fragrance, the beetles went crazy instantly. One by one, they scrambled to crawl into the sarcophagus along the passage that emitted the strange fragrance.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of large beetles all poured into the sarcophagus, as if they had never appeared before. There were only the hollowed-out Tao Yong and the withered yellow body inside Tao Yong's body. The skeletons are silently telling their past experiences.
...
Fang Xiaocao and the others, led by Taotie, quickly left the area of the bodyguard pit and arrived at another tomb.
This tomb is still a burial pit.
However, it is no longer a burial pit for guards.
It is a burial pit for livestock.
To be precise, it is a burial pit for war horses!
The number of war horses buried in the war horse burial pit is equal to that of the previous soldier burial pit.
Eighteen real horse skeletons were scattered neatly in the burial pit. Behind the eighteen war horse skeletons, there were as many Tao horses as Tao Yong.
However, these pottery horses are obviously not as exquisite as Tao Yong’s workmanship. The workmanship can be described as shoddy. Some pottery horses have long been unable to withstand the erosion of time and have become incomplete and even collapsed. For a piece of pottery.
“This is also a burial pit. It is used to prepare war horses for the bodyguards and guards. Even in the underworld, they can turn into Yin soldiers and Yin horses and fight with the owner of the tomb.”
Taotie smiled and introduced the other party, Xiaocao and the others.
"If I guessed correctly, the next tomb should be a weapons warehouse."
Taotie made a judgment based on his own experience.
“Weapons arsenal?”
“Don’t those Tao Yong have weapons in their hands?”
Fang Xiaocao asked doubtfully. "Those are just conventional weapons. There were quite a lot of various weapons that were needed for fighting in ancient times."
Taotie explained.
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao nodded as if he understood.
No need to worry too much about these.
After wandering around the war horse pit and finding nothing worthy of attention, Fang Xiaocao lost interest. Seeing Fang Xiaocao's expression, Taotie knew that Fang Xiaocao was not interested here, so he headed towards it again. Go to the next tomb.
That’s it!
Tom's steps suddenly stopped, he turned his head with a solemn expression and looked behind him.
Then Taotie turned his head sharply and looked behind him.
Humming Bird was the last one among the three to react. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Fang Xiaocao behind his back.
Seeing Tom and the others facing formidable enemies, Fang Xiaocao was startled for a moment, and then she realized that there might be some movement in the tomb behind her.
There is a high probability that some enemy is following.
Thinking that there might be an enemy, Fang Xiaocao also pulled out his gun, loaded the gun with a click, and held a few steel nails in his other hand.
Compared to her marksmanship, Fang Xiaocao is more confident in her steel nails.
“Hummingbird, can you tell if it’s a human or an animal?”
Fang Xiaocao asked in a low voice.
"It should be a person, the footsteps are very heavy."
The hummingbird answered in a low voice.
Fang Xiaocao nodded and did not ask again.
Tom rolled his eyes and glanced around quickly.
He said: "Hummingbird, take Her Royal Highness the Princess and hide behind those pottery horses. Don't come out unless you have to. Listen to the footsteps. There is only one person on the other side. Taotie and I will deal with it."
Hummingbird nodded at Tom's instructions.
Without waiting for Fang Xiaocao to react, Hummingbird pulled Fang Xiaocao and hid among the buried pottery horses.
"Old Tom, you hide too."
"Use a gun to cover me!"
"There is only one person on the other side, and I am afraid of fraud."
Taotie said to Tom in a deep voice.
Tom hesitated and nodded.
He felt that Taotie's concerns were reasonable.
Tom looked around again and found that there was a beam above the head of the tomb. Tom simply took out his flying claw and hoisted himself onto the beam.
Tom followed the flying claw and climbed onto the beam.
Tom just squatted on the beam, pulled out his gun, and made an OK gesture to Taotie who was looking at him below.
Taotie withdrew his gaze and stared at the door of the tomb.
Tightened the spear in his hand.
"Tap tap tap..."
Heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Taotie frowned when he heard this, always feeling a little weird. Listening to the footsteps, this man must weigh three hundred kilograms.
Besides, there was also the sound of metal collision among the footsteps, which made Taotie couldn't help but wonder, could this guy coming here be some kind of robot?
There was a loud "bang" and the tomb door was pushed open.
A tall figure wearing a black full-body armor, holding a gleaming Mo Dao, and wearing a metal mask with a grimace on his head, appeared in Taotie's eyes.
"What the hell?"
"What the hell?"
Seeing this figure, Taotie's eyes widened instantly and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
