Each of us reacted extremely quickly!

We lowered the torch to the lowest level, and there was a loud, rattling sound like pebbles rubbing against each other.

With us as the center point, the densely packed corpses dispersed like the tide, and after a while, the previous calm returned.

The knife handler stood up and sighed, "It belongs to his second uncle! I just said there is something evil here!"

I brought the torch closer to the dead corpse and took a closer look. It was indeed a weird insect. The whole body was covered with scales that had begun to petrify. Hair-like hair grew out of the gaps in the scales. However, it is easy to break. The eight thin legs are coiled in the depressions on both sides of the body. The head is covered by shorter and denser hair. I don’t know what kind of face it looks like.

Because it was so smelly, I quickly stood up and fanned myself in front of my nose.

"What is this corpse bile?" Li Qianni asked curiously. It was obvious that she did have an innate interest in the field of biology.

Han Xiaoer glanced at Wang Pailong, wondering whether he should say it or not. Wang Pailong was silent for a while but nodded.

Only then did Han Xiaoer tell the truth. He said that when he first saw these stone-like corpse gallbladders, he just thought there was something strange about them and did not immediately recognize them because they were so big. The last time I entered Daji's tomb in Shaanxi, I encountered this thing. However, this thing was only the size of a human fingernail. It was not surprising at the time. It was often found near underground rivers with carrion and dark and moist places. It would explode when exposed to fire. It dispersed with a bang. It should belong to a kind of shellfish soft-bodied creature, but it didn't exactly look like a guy who often stayed in the water. Later, when I went home and consulted ancient books, I found out the origin and true identity of this thing.

This guy is very evil, with a normal lifespan of a hundred years. This thing specializes in eating dead meat. It is a method used by the Yankhan tribe of the ancient Xixia Kingdom to punish prisoners. They usually imprison prisoners in round-bellied pottery jars. At night, The stone at the bottom of the tank came to life and ate the prisoner's skin and bones. Because it looked like a human gallbladder, it was named corpse gallbladder.

After hearing what he said, I had goosebumps on my legs. This was such a life-and-death situation. I touched my hair casually and said, "They seemed to be sleeping just now. Don't they like to eat human flesh? Why are we here?" They didn’t react at all?”

I stared at Han Xiaoer suspiciously, wondering whether this guy was right or not. Wang Pailong and the others were still trying to trick me. I saw Han Xiaoer frowning and actually answered. If he didn't come up, I immediately quit, pointed at him and cursed: "Bald guy, aren't you blowing on the weasel's ass? The more you blow on the weasel's ass, the more it smells. Can you be more serious? If you continue to talk nonsense like this Goodbye, I'm going to use your face as my butt!"

When Wang Huizhen heard me scolding her, she couldn't hold it back and pursed her lips.

Feilong patted me on the shoulder, "Lao Guo, I can't compliment your swearing skills. Why did you bring me along with you, good guy?"

Han Xiaoer snorted coldly and said nothing.

It made my face feel hot all of a sudden. Fortunately, it was dark and lit by crackling torches, so no one else noticed how ugly I looked, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Liu Qiang squatted down and picked up a handful of soil with his hands. It looked like mud. He said: "These corpses are too bold. There is only one possibility. Why don't they come to eat us? It's possible that they are full. You Look at this handful of soil, it’s too moist, there should be a water source not far from here.”

As he said that, he turned to look at the flower monkey. The flower monkey immediately climbed to the ground to investigate. In an instant, it raised its head and said, "It's true that there is water. I'm afraid they are not full, but are hiding from a more terrifying master!" All around us!”

"What the hell is it?" Fei Long asked.

Wang Pailong waved his hand, "Don't ask anymore, please put out the torches quickly."
