The bearded man was very strong and soon dug up most of the sand near the dead man.
The deceased was a man with unfamiliar features and no one recognized him.
Uncle Kremu, who had the courage to squat next to the corpse, said in surprise: "This man's body has not yet dehydrated and turned into a mummy. He looks like he has just been dead for a day or two."
Some people were also surprised and said: "Who could bury people here?"
"Could this person be another victim in Hamuti's caravan? They fled all the way back, and this person died halfway, so Hamuti and the others casually buried him in the sand, and we happened to camp next to the corpse.
superior?"
The bearded man didn't say anything. He continued to dig in the sand, and the body gradually emerged.
But when everyone saw the body clearly, everyone around the sand pit took a breath, and someone yelled with astonishment on his face: "He, his belly..."
The male corpse under the sand had a bulging belly like a ball, as big as a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant.
But before the man finished shouting in surprise, suddenly, the belly of the male corpse covered by the khaki robe began to squirm.
Hissing, Uncle Keremu was almost frightened and fell to the ground: "My belly, my belly is moving!"
In fact, he didn't need to say anything, everyone saw it, and several people were immediately scared away. Only Big Beard and Jin An were left frowning and squatting by the sandpit to carefully look at the body.
Ahem, Uncle Keremu coughed in embarrassment, and was a little angry. He felt that his surprise and behavior just now were too cowardly and had embarrassed the warriors in the desert. Did he see the bearded man and Jin An?
He backed away, so he came back shamelessly: "Could the thing moving under the clothes be a poisonous snake or scorpion? Was this man bitten to death by a poisonous insect in the desert?"
No wonder he said this.
The man in front of me turned black all over after death, and it looked like he died of poisoning.
Jin An's eyes were thinking: "This man was poisoned to death."
"Corpse poison?" Everyone present was stunned.
Jin An nodded and reminded: "This dead man is covered in corpse poison. He is a poisonous body. Try not to come into direct contact with him."
At this time, the belly under the robe was still squirming. Jin An was not afraid at all, and he boldly wanted to reach out to untie his belt and robe, but was stopped by the bearded man, who said: "I'll do it."
The scimitar in the bearded man's hand was very sharp, and he could easily cut off the belt. Then he used the tip of the knife to lift open the robe and lining one by one, finally revealing the round belly of the male corpse.
The belly of the corpse has been stretched to the extreme. You can see that the belly has become very thin, and there are horizontal stripes that look like obesity lines. There seems to be something squirming in the belly. The belly is bulging one after another, and it continues.
Expansion.
"No, get away quickly!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jin An thought of the scene of the giant temple rotting and exploding. He grabbed Kremu and quickly backed away. While walking back, he did not forget to pick up the blanket that Aliza had left aside and cover the body.
Just as a few people took a few steps back, Peng!
Corpses explode!
Corpse poison miasma spurts out!
at the same time!
Check it out!
Countless black corpse crickets that looked like dragon lice spewed out from the man's corpse. They crawled out overwhelmingly, filling the sand pit in an instant and covering the sand near the bunker. These corpse crickets that looked like dragon lice were like the tide of black water.
It spreads outward crazily, biting people, camels and other living creatures it can see.
The people who were standing in the distance and watching curiously were all frightened by this scene and fled away.
"Run away!"
"Help, help!"
The desert was in chaos, completely in chaos. There were panicked sounds everywhere. People were running away crying and screaming. This sudden change happened too suddenly. People were frightened and ran around in all directions.
There was a stampede, and even the camels were frightened and fled in all directions.
There were screams everywhere.
There were screams of people and camels.
Thanks to Jin An covering the corpse with a blanket, the poisonous miasma and corpse miasma were prevented from being rushed into the sky by the huge impact of the corpse explosion. Otherwise, the sky would have been filled with corpses raining and the rapidly spreading corpse poisonous miasma.
.
Even so, there is only one fearful thought in everyone's mind: the caravan is going to be finished, and everyone will die here today.
At this time, even the brave bearded man could not protect himself. At this time, he grabbed a few people around him and quickly retreated. How could he be faster than these little black things on the ground?
Just when the bearded man looked desperate and the poisonous corpse crickets released from the corpses were about to crawl onto him, a cold voice shouted: "Get out!"
"Collect the poison from the plague! Sweep away the filth! In the spring plague, Zhang Yuanbo is the general of the green-robed warriors, in the summer plague, Liu Yuanda is the red-robed warrior, and in the autumn plague, Zhao Gongming is the general of the white-robed warriors. In the winter plague, Zhong Rengui is the black-robed warrior.
General, the general history and literature industry of the plague is proud of the yellow-robed warrior, general, and the plague-dispelling talisman is opened!"
Then, Big Beard saw a scene that was unbelievable in his life!
The countless black bugs that burst out of the dead man's belly seemed to be collectively frightened, and the corpse bugs on the desert retreated back to the dead man in the sand pit like a tidal wave.
At this time, Jin An pulled off the cowhide wine bag from Keremu's waist. He was the only one who did not retreat but advanced among the panicked crowd. He calmly ran to the sand pit and poured all the kumiss into the sand pit.
The last fire lit all the corpses.
Seeing the kumiss that he couldn't bear to drink being poured out, Uncle Kremu felt so distressed that he covered his heart with both hands.
Those corpse crickets were burned by the fire and squeaked loudly, but facing Jin An who was standing by the sandpit, they were like lambs meeting their natural enemies, tigers. Even if they were burned to death in pain, they did not dare to take a step further. Soon word spread.
The aroma of barbecue comes out.
The three-time imperial plague-repelling talisman on Jin'an's body is the biggest nemesis of these zombie pests.
Avenue induction!
Yin Deyi!
Yin Deyi!
…
When the flames in the sand pit gradually burned out and all the zombies had been burned to death, Jin An took advantage of the chaos and gave himself a breath-taking technique.
Yin De!
1 thousand two hundred and thirty!
These corpse crickets brought him a thousand virtues.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you...this, this..." The bearded man looked at the back of the Taoist priest standing by the blazing sand pit, his face full of surprise.
"It's easy for people to lose their way if they get separated in the desert. Since the people and the camels haven't strayed far apart yet, let's quickly find the people and the camels who were separated in the chaos just now. We'll talk about some things later."
Jin An waited until the fire was extinguished and then helped go out to find people.
The desert was too big, especially at night when the visibility was not good. The entire caravan had been busy all night without rest before finally finding all the separated people and camels.
Fortunately, except for two people who were slightly injured in the panic stampede at the beginning, and one person who was riding a camel to escape, the camel was frightened and fell off the person and broke one of his legs. No one was seriously injured or died. It is considered unfortunate.
's lucky.
As for that silly sheep.
From beginning to end, he slept calmly in Jin'an's tent. Jin'an didn't run around, and he didn't run around either. This sheep is very smart.
But a whole night of not sleeping, a whole night of fear, and a whole night of running around looking for someone made everyone exhausted.
It wasn't until dawn, after the caravan had been appeased, that Big Beard and the others finally turned their attention to the dead people in the sand pit.
At this time, the dead man in the sand pit had been burned beyond recognition by the fire. The body was blown into two pieces from the middle of the belly, and all the internal organs were eaten away by corpse crickets, leaving only some bones and a thin layer of flesh and blood.
"Taoist Master Jin An...what were those bugs last night?" Uncle Keremu hid behind Jin An with some lingering fear, timidly taking a look at the burnt black corpse in the sand pit.
Smelling the aroma of meat that had not completely dissipated in the air, he had not closed his eyes after a busy night, and he actually had the absurd idea that he was hungry. This frightened him so much that he did not dare to look at the dead people in the sand pit again.
Meat.
Jin An squatted by the sand pit to inspect the scorched corpse and said without thinking: "That's a corpse cricket. It's highly poisonous. It usually only lives in dark, humid and sinister tombs. It feeds on rotting corpses, so it's highly poisonous all over its body."
, ordinary people will die if they touch it."
The first time he saw a zombie was at the Tomb of the Dragon King in Wuzhou Prefecture.
Uncle Keremu and the other people who gathered around curiously looked at Jin An in surprise: "Taoist Master Jin An, you, have you ever seen a corpse cricket?"
What kind of experience does this Taoist priest Jin'an have? Looking at his young age and delicate features, why does he feel like he knows a little bit about everything?
He is not afraid of dead people, he knows corpses, and he can do autopsies. If you think about it carefully, why do you feel that the knowledge of the Jin'an Taoist Association is all related to dead people and corpses?
Although the bearded man was also surprised as to why Jin An knew the corpse cricket, his mind was more delicate. He looked at the scorched corpse in the sand pit and heard the hidden meaning of Jin An's words: "Taoist Master Jin An, what do you mean?
The corpse of a dead man, as well as the corpses hidden in the dead man, were deliberately buried in the camp where we rested?"
The bearded man humbly asked for advice.
This was also the second time Jin An had seen corpse crickets. It was the first time he had seen corpse crickets being raised inside the human body like poisons and multiplying in large numbers inside the human body.
It is estimated that the real cause of death of this man was that his internal organs and flesh and blood were eaten away by corpse crickets.
He replied to the bearded man: "According to common sense, the climate in the desert is dry and the sun is strong, which is completely inconsistent with the living habits of corpse crickets. Unless someone deliberately cultivates corpse crickets using living people as a breeding ground, and then buries them in advance where we camp to rest.
place."
"As for the purpose..." Jin An rubbed his chin, his eyes flashing coldly.
"It's nothing more than wanting to kill people and silence them."
"Buried here in advance? We randomly selected a place to rest. How could anyone know in advance where we would camp overnight?" Someone shouted in disbelief.
Jin An glanced at the person who shouted in his ear and interrupted his thoughts, and said calmly: "Based on our driving speed, it is not impossible to calculate where we will arrive before sunset and where we will camp to rest.
matter."
The person who spoke hesitated and said: "If someone wants to harm us, who will harm us? We have never had any grudges with anyone along the way... Could it be that we are overthinking, and this person just happened to die here?
It happened to be buried by the wind and sand, and we didn't find the body immediately?"
Jin An glanced at the other party: "There are so many coincidences, do you think you can believe them?"
The man opened his mouth several times, trying to continue to argue, but finally shut up and remained silent.
yes.
There are too many coincidences.
At this time, even the bearded man, Uncle Keremu, and the others were silent with ugly expressions on their faces.
"Could it be that the sand bandits are targeting us? Seeing that there are so many of us, they use these dirty tricks? Only sand bandits who have been abandoned by the desert gods will use these shameful dirty tricks in the desert." Another person looked surprised.
He guessed uncertainly.
But no one answered him, and he was left alone to continue making random guesses to himself.
…
Worried that something might happen next, Big Beard ignored everyone's cries and didn't sleep all night. After counting the number of people and camels, and fixing the wounded, he hurriedly urged everyone to continue on the road and try to reach Yueqiang Kingdom today.
.
Encountering strange things one after another, he suddenly had a very bad feeling that something big was going to happen in the desert!
Only by rushing to Yueqiang Kingdom as soon as possible can we get more information!
Next, the camel team continued on the road.
Before setting out on the road, Jin An used the Plague Expelling Talisman to help Aliza and the three of them detoxify from the corpse poison. All three of them were poisoned by the corpse poison, but Alizabumu, who had direct contact with the corpse, was more seriously poisoned.
Fortunately, he only touched the corpse and was not bitten directly by the corpse cricket, so he would not die immediately.
We didn't sleep all night, and everyone was sleepy and tired. After the camel team was on the road for half a day, the sun reached its hottest height. Everyone was thirsty, tired and sleepy due to the sun, and everyone was in severe pain from the jolt... Finally, after dark
After driving through the night for another hour, the caravan finally arrived at Yueqiang Kingdom successfully.
