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. The mouth was really wide open, and 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 clearly seen. It looked like... a human!
The hot wind blew by, and Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but shiver, and quickly turned his face away and stopped looking.
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 strange and scary.
"It seems that this mask was forced to wear. Look at the patterns on it, which 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 "Hey", "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 big black mouth, with the other half of the worm attached to the tongue. The dried worm body extended all the way down the throat. If you didn't look carefully, you would mistakenly think that it was the 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!" Come on! This bug might be alive."
The mask fell into the darkness, hitting the branches below and shattering.
A rustling sound came from the silent space, coming from all directions.
Suddenly remembering the fear of being dominated by the zombie swarm in the Qixing Lu Palace, Wu Xiaoxie and the three of them rolled and climbed to avoid the mummy before they could ask.
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 poison. 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 scraping 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 fired a shot straight up.
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!" Lao 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 comes true.
"Two... two brothers, what, what should we do?" Master Liang's calves were trembling. He had lived for more than half 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.
Wu Xiaoxie was also panicking. This was too much. At a glance, there were densely packed beetles with human faces on their backs.
