Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Meng Lian and others laughed together.
"Xiao Bai, right? Don't worry, we still know how capable you are, so we don't expect you to find any big tombs for us."
"We are not tomb robbers, but we just like to explore some truths left over from ancient times."
"Okay, let's go. We are still far away from our destination this time. Don't waste time here."
Hearing the leader's words, Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment. He didn't need to find the tomb by himself? Then why do you want to find yourself? It's a bit strange.
But obviously, no one would answer him.
Fortunately, although the four of them used a little cruel means, knocking him out and then waking him up, they did not show any malice toward him in the forest.
A few people were just chatting while walking through the forest. It was already noon.
During lunch, Meng Lian took out two boxes of self-heating hot pot from his backpack and threw them to Xiao Bai.
"Now, eat. If everything goes well, we will probably arrive at our destination tomorrow afternoon. Don't worry, this is a society ruled by law. We will not take your life."
Hearing this, Xiao Bai sighed lightly.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. At this moment, his mobile phone has been taken away. In this deep mountain and forest, there is no place for him to run even if he wants to.
What's more, just one morning of high-intensity walking has already made his legs extremely sore.
The four people in front of me obviously often traveled through the mountains and forests. It was basically impossible for me to slip away from them in this place.
Xiao Bai took two boxes of self-heating hot pot and was not polite. He heated them up three times and started eating.
And seeing that Xiao Bai didn't take this opportunity to escape, Meng Lian had a smile on his lips.
Yes, he was worried that Xiao Bai was a fool and would run away regardless of opportunities, which would ultimately waste the time and energy of the small team.
After finishing lunch and resting for a while, the five of them got back on the road.
When it got dark, Meng Lian led the team to stop and prepare to set up camp.
In the tent, Meng Lian looked at Xiao Bai picking up the blood blisters on his feet and couldn't help but smile.
"Are you in good health? You've walked about seventy kilometers in the mountains and forests this day, and now you're not blushing or out of breath. It's pretty good."
Hearing Meng Lian's words, Xiao Bai looked sad at the moment.
Not blushing or out of breath?
hehe.
He is obviously pale now and can hardly breathe. This can help him avoid blushing and being out of breath.
"I said, Boss Meng, where are you going? Isn't there a shorter way?"
"After traveling seventy kilometers, shouldn't they all be out of the country?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Meng Lian shook his head gently.
"No, we are not heading outside the country. That place is indeed a bit far away."
"Okay, kid, don't ask so many questions."
"Let me tell you this, our destination this time is probably an ancient ruins."
"But whether it exists or not, we can only roughly judge from satellite images. We still don't know the specific conditions of that place and what's inside."
"The reason why we brought you here this time is not because you study archeology, and we don't expect you to know anything about astrology and earth veins. The main reason why we brought you here this time is because your body may be special."
Over the years, you are not the only one who has come into contact with the bronze seal, but you are the third one who can successfully activate the Gu insect.
And you are the only one who can resist the death of the two small seals.
Hearing this, Xiao Bai suddenly felt shuddered.
The third?
What about the first two?
Is that human skin with strange patterns painted on it one of them?
Seeing Xiao Bai's pupils trembling, Meng Lian chuckled.
"As you might imagine, that human skin is one of them, but you don't have to be afraid. It's very old, at least two to three hundred years old."
"Now that electronic technology is so advanced, there is no need to skin people for records."
"What about the other one? Who is the other one?"
Seeing the confusion on Xiao Bai's face, a trace of bitterness appeared on Meng Lian's face.
"The other one, the other one also died not long ago. It has been exactly one year since he was parasitized by that insect."
"So, you are here not only to help us, but also to help yourself. If you don't untie this insect, you may only have less than a year to live."
Hearing Meng Lian's words, Xiao Bai shook his head.
"You don't have to scare me, I won't die in a year."
"He will die because he is not smart enough, but I insist on taking deworming medicine every day!"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Meng Lian was suddenly stunned.
"Pesticide?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"efficient?"
"It's effective. Although I can't completely kill all the bugs, I can kill some every day. My totem expands very slowly."
Meng Lian was stunned when he heard Xiao Bai's words.
After a while.
"Hahahahahaha."
"Pesticide, insecticide, this is really a way I never thought of."
"My brother!"
Seeing Meng Lian's crazy look, Xiao Bai couldn't help but shrink back to the corner of the tent.
Now he finally knew who the other person was who was parasitized by the bug.
I'm afraid this man's brother is a bit stupid. He is infected by bugs. Isn't it normal to take anti-worm medicine?
After a period of madness, Meng Lian regained his composure and sighed.
"It would be great if I could get this answer sooner."
"Hey, my poor brother..."
After a while.
Under Meng Lian's narration, Xiao Bai finished listening to a story that may be both true and false.
more than a year ago.
Also in Yunling, a small earthquake cracked an ancient tomb.
Meng Lian's half-brother is seven years old, an age that still doesn't understand anything.
Out of curiosity, he went down the crack into the ancient tomb and touched the small seal in the tomb.
Then a totem grew on the chest, and as the totem got bigger and bigger, it slowly expanded from the chest to the entire front chest.
His health became worse and worse. In less than ten months, he went from a seemingly healthy child to a breathless child.
Originally, his family was from a minority group and had some knowledge of the art of witchcraft and poison. However, no one in the nearby villages knew about such a strange poison.
Some old people have mentioned that this may be some kind of ancient insect poison technique, but that's all. Nothing else can be said at all.
Just when he fell into despair, an old man found him and gave him two maps, human skin patterns and the small bronze seal.
According to what the old man said, the solution to this insect poison may be buried in the location pointed by the map.
But unfortunately, when Meng Lian and the others found the first address on the map, it had been completely destroyed by the earthquake.
