Master Liang gestured to his face with the mask, "It seems like you have to open your mouth to wear this mask."
Wu Xiaoxie looked at the mummy. His mouth was really wide open. There were two dry and sunken black holes in the eye sockets. The skin was so dry and cracked that the texture of the muscles could be seen clearly. It looked like...a human!
The hot wind blew by, and Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but shiver, and quickly turned his face away, not daring to look again.
Master Liang felt that there might be something fishy in the snail shell, so he took out a pen from the inner pocket of his jacket, inserted it into the small hole in the snail shell, pried hard, and with a click, the snail shell shattered, revealing a piece of crab inside.
Something like legs.
Master Liang pulled it out and found that it was a beetle that he had never seen before. It looked weird and looked a little scary.
"It seems that this mask was forced to wear it. You see, the patterns on it are exactly the same as the cloud and thunder patterns on the bronze tree pole. It must be related to the person who cast the bronze tree." Master Liang said.
Lao Itch said "Eh", "This... this insect seems to be missing half of it."
Where did the other half go?
The three of them looked at each other and turned to look at the mummy on the ground.
All I could see was the large, dark mouth, with the other half of the worm attached to the tongue. The dry worm body extended all the way down the throat. If you didn’t look carefully, you would mistakenly think that it was a dried out shrunken tongue.
Master Liang screamed fiercely, which made Lao Chi tremble in fear. Just when he was about to curse, he saw Master Liang's face was very frightened. He threw the mask far away with a wave of his hand and muttered, "Quick!"
Move quickly! This insect may be alive."
The mask fell into the darkness, hit the branches below, and shattered into pieces.
A rustling sound came from the silent space, coming from all directions.
Suddenly he remembered the fear of being dominated by the zombie swarm in the Qixing Lu Palace. Before he had time to ask, Wu Xiaoxie and the three of them rolled and crawled to avoid the mummies and climbed up.
While crawling, Master Liang gave Wu Xiaoxie and Wu Xiaoxie a brief introduction to science. It turned out that this strange bug was called Chi Gu, which was a type of ancient voodoo. This bug was hidden in the cavity of the mouth behind the mask and penetrated deep into the throat.
They parasitize, affect the nerves of animals or people, and control them to attack foreign organisms. They can also reproduce in the host's body. After the host dies, they will fall into a deep sleep, waiting for the next host to approach and wake them up with the breath of fresh flesh and blood. The sound of claws rubbing against the tree trunk became louder and louder, as if it was all around them. They were surrounded!
The flashlight was not bright enough to see the surroundings clearly, and they could not find the enemies hiding in the dark.
Lao Itch took out his flare gun and shot straight upward.
The flare fell and crossed this area.
For a moment, the rustling sound became louder, and on the branches visible to the naked eye, countless protruding and strange masks were moving rapidly, avoiding the scorching light source, or laughing sinisterly, or ferociously, or crying, which made people's hair stand on end.
.
"Mom!" Old Itch exclaimed, "Oh my god, what a shame!"
Master Liang really wants to give himself a mouth and let you talk nonsense, but now it has come true.
"Two... two brothers, what should we do?" Mr. Liang's calves were trembling. He had lived for most of his life and had never seen such a terrifying scene. It would be a good thing if he didn't pass over it on the spot. p>
Wu Xiaoxie was also panicking. There were too many of them. At a glance, there were densely packed beetles with human faces on their backs everywhere.
