Almost overnight, several of Du Weiguo's backyards were all on fire, and the fire was so violent that it was simply earth-shattering.
However, Du Weiguo, who was trapped on Skull Island by the fog, was naturally ignorant of all this. At this moment, he was playing the immersive role of Captain Touching the Gold and exploring the temple.
This triangular-shaped temple is only about 50 meters above the ground. It is not very majestic, but the underground part is quite amazing, with a vertical depth of hundreds of meters.
Apart from the endless skeletons, there were no mechanisms. Along the sloping corridor, stepping on mountains of bones, Du Weiguo walked for more than ten minutes without reaching the end.
"Damn, this is too mysterious. What methods did these Mayan primitives use to cut the rocks, and how did they move them?"
Hundreds of meters deep underground, each piece of volcanic rock that serves as the foundation stone is too big to look like, even beyond the scope of description. It is still square and square, with smooth and neat cuts.
Du Weiguo stopped and couldn't help but knock on the wall and sighed.
In front of us is the end of the temple corridor. There is a huge black stone door. It is roughly estimated that the height is at least 15 meters, the width is more than 10 meters, and the thickness is unknown.
The stone door is polished very smoothly and has a simple style. There are no patterns on the surface. Of course, there are no handles or pull rings. But think about it, who can pull it?
The door was not completely closed, but was left ajar, revealing a gap, as dark as ink, like the entrance to hell.
The darkness behind the stone gate was strangely dark, as if it was filled with a black mist that was so strong that it could not be broken away. Even with Du Weiguo's abnormal eyesight, he still couldn't see through it.
It can only be barely distinguished that these black mist are composed of countless tiny particles that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, suspended motionless in the air.
"Tsk, I really don't want to go in!"
If the stone door was closed, Du Weiguo would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word. I don't know how thick the stone door is, but a door weighs several thousand tons at least. Not to mention pushing and pulling, even an explosion may not be able to break it.
But here, the restlessness in the system space became more and more violent, urging them all the time.
It was as if there was a peerless beauty behind the stone gate who had already posed with her bare buttocks in a vacant position. Du Weiguo's heart was beating like a drum and his mouth was dry.
"Damn it! Even though I didn't sense any danger, why do I still feel so nervous? System dad, please don't cheat me."
After hesitating for a long time, Du Weiguo still didn't sense the danger, so he muttered reluctantly.
Finally, he put on his gas mask, put on his diving goggles and tactical gloves, bravely walked toward the gap, and then resolutely plunged into the unknown darkness.
At this moment, the moment Du Weiguo entered the stone door, the black mist inside immediately started to move, pouring out of the passage like thick smoke, and then penetrated into the hole in the wall without stopping.
Almost at the same time, the black beetles that seemed to have been dead for an unknown period of time suddenly moved in the cavity on the outer wall of the temple.
At this moment, Du Weiguo, who was plunged into absolute darkness, knew nothing about the changes outside. He touched the darkness and walked one foot deeper than the other.
Du Weiguo was fully armed at the moment and wrapped himself very tightly.
In addition to the high-tech gas mask from MI6, he also specially wore diving goggles customized by MI6, and even his ears were tightly plugged with bullet casings.
This black mist looked strange. Although he could not sense danger, he was definitely not a kind person. Du Weiguo did not want this unknown thing to penetrate his body through his eyes or ears.
Under the obstruction of the black fog, Du Weiguo could barely see a few meters ahead, and could only move forward slowly and groping step by step.
The abnormal fluctuations in the black mist were naturally sensed by him. Du Weiguo immediately stopped and leaned against the wall to concentrate on alert.
However, the black mist just surged toward the door, making no move against him, and he didn't know how to react.
Soon, about half a minute later, the black fog in the space suddenly faded, and the vision suddenly became clearer.
A huge square appeared in front of Du Weiguo. How big it was, it was almost as big as several football fields.
The square is square, and the dome above it is at least dozens of meters high. Every few dozen meters, there is a thick volcanic stone pillar standing upright from the sky to the ground.
In the center of the square, there is a circular place that looks like an altar, with a solitary coffin-like object on top.
Other than that, the entire square was empty, with nothing but dust. The source of the throbbing in the space was the "coffin" on the altar.
"I'm sorry, I've been fussing for a long time. Is this a tomb? But this tomb is too ugly. There are no murals, no inscriptions, and no storage rooms around. There is only a long tomb passage. Tsk, it's just a tomb for sacrifices. There are quite a few living people, and the lineup is quite large."
Du Weiguo wore a mask and commented angrily, then stared at the coffin a hundred meters away without blinking, his eyes serious under the hidden lens.
This "coffin" is also made of volcanic stone. It is rectangular in shape, with sharp edges and corners, and is integrated into one body.
There is only a thin, almost invisible gap near the cover, which divides the coffin into upper and lower layers. It is consistent with the style of the giant door. It also has no patterns and is simple and unpretentious.
The length of the coffin is approximately 12 meters by visual inspection, the width is 8 meters, and the thickness is almost 8 meters. This size is definitely considered huge for the coffin, and it is estimated that there is a huge thing inside.
However, Du Weiguo has recently seen countless giant creatures on Skull Island, and he has become numb.
Compared with the monsters outside that are often as big as a hill, the thing lying in the "coffin" is already quite small.
"Damn it, are you trying to force me to lift someone's coffin? Do you want me to light a candle in the northeast corner first?"
After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see Zi Wu Mao You coming, and my eyes were a little sore from staring at it. At this moment, the black fog in the space had been completely cleared.
"Forget it! I will open the coffin today and take a look. Who is lying inside? How can such a huge array be put up!"
Du Weiguo made up his mind, cheered himself up, and strode towards the coffin.
The distance of a hundred meters was approaching in an instant. Du Weiguo came to the coffin and raised the Kusanagi sword in his hand without hesitation.
"Pfft~"
There was a dull sound, and the unrivaled sharp Kusanagi sword, like a hot knife piercing butter, inserted into the gap with extremely silky smoothness, and was completely submerged.
The Kusanagi sword has a total length of 1.06 meters, a blade length of 84 centimeters, and a handle length of 22 centimeters. At this moment, it still has not completely penetrated the sarcophagus.
Du Weiguo frowned. If it was so thick, the entire coffin lid would weigh at least a dozen tons, which was definitely not something he could lift.
His current strength has greatly increased. At the limit, he can lift a weight of 3 tons, which is definitely a superhuman level. However, it is still not enough for this giant coffin.
There is nothing to hesitate. We have already reached this point. Even if the Queen Mother is lying inside, we still have to lift the coffin board today and measure her cup.
"Uh-huh!"
A shrill cold light lit up, and Du Weiguo swung his grasshopper sword and immediately cut off a corner of the coffin.
The situation was unclear, and Du Weiguo did not dare to use explosives. He was afraid of causing unpredictable changes and destroying the treasure in the coffin, so he could only choose the clumsiest method, cutting it raw!
"Dong~"
The cut-off corners of the coffin hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise that echoed in the empty square like a war drum, which was thrilling.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
However, Du Weiguo became fierce and continued to wave the Kusanagi sword in his hand without hesitation. In the cold light, the giant coffin was chopped to pieces in an instant, stone chips flew everywhere, and a gap was about to be exposed in one corner.
At this moment, Du Weiguo suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the door, because he suddenly sensed danger.
"Wow~"
Du Weiguo's ears were blocked by bullet casings. Even so, he still heard a strange sound like a surging ocean tide.
Following the sound, a raging black wave surged outside the door, and this wave was clearly made up of countless black beetles.
The black beetle is about the size of a thumb, its body is pitch black, even its eyes are black, and it has two pairs of protruding fangs in its mouth, resembling the legendary corpse cricket.
These are not the key points. The key point is that there are so many of them that they are overwhelming. The most terrifying thing is that they are extremely fast. They are approaching Du Weiguo in almost the blink of an eye.
"Holy shit! This thing really came to life!"
Du Weiguo didn't care about opening the coffin at all. He suddenly threw out the Nine Nether Lock, nailed it to the nearest stone pillar, and jumped up like a big bird.
"boom!"
The tide of beetles was like a real wave, slamming into the coffin without stopping. Countless beetles were smashed to pieces in an instant, and some were thrown into the air.
"Shuashua~"
Du Wei was in mid-air, but the Kusanagi sword in his hand kept flying up and down, and countless sword flowers appeared in an instant, flying away the beetles that could reach him.
However, even though Du Weiguo's movements were fast enough, so fast that the shadow was already drawn out, a few beetles broke through the shadow of the sword and landed on him.
"Hiss~"
The next moment, Du Weiguo staggered a little and stepped on the stone pillar to steady himself. Veins popped up on his forehead. He gasped, and then he couldn't help but scream.
"Ah~"
He swung the Kusanagi sword in his hand again, and while flying away a few beetles, he also cut off several pieces of flesh on his body.
pain! Excruciating pain! Indescribable, unbearable pain!
Since his debut, Du Weiguo has gone through hundreds of battles and suffered countless major and minor injuries. In the most serious time, he was even cut in half.
To put it bluntly, except for the pain of childbirth and beheading, Du Weiguo has basically experienced all other pains and has long been numb.
But the wound caused by the black beetle still hurt Du Weiguo so much that he almost couldn't bear it.
The most bizarre thing is that the flesh and blood were cut out immediately along with the beetle, and even the skin and flesh of the injured area have been restored.
However, the indescribable pain was still there, like a tarsal gangrene, which had not eased at all. The pain made Du Weiguo tremble like chaff, and he was so weak that he could hardly hold on to Jiuyou Suo.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this? Is it a neurotoxin? Why does it hurt so much!"
Du Weiguo was so hurt that his voice trembled and he was sweating like rain. He looked at the endless tide of insects at his feet with fear in his eyes.
You know, he is immortal now, so he should have no taboos.
Not to mention the mere toxins contained in the beetles, even if you stuff potassium cyanide into your mouth one spoonful at a time, it will probably only make you feel uncomfortable in your stomach and dilute it with a few diarrhea.
After more than ten seconds, Du Weiguo's whole body was completely wet with sweat, and then he felt that the severe pain had slowed down a bit. Although it had not completely disappeared, it was barely bearable.
There was a rustling sound, and at this moment, the stone pillar where Du Weiguo stood was covered with black beetles like a tide.
Du Weiguo was immediately horrified and quickly jumped up to find another place to stay. At the same time, he inserted the Kusanagi sword into the stone pillar to stabilize his body.
"Hu~hu~"
Wiping the sweat on his face and panting heavily, Du Weiguo turned his head and looked at the coffin that had been completely covered and submerged by the insect tide. His scalp was numb and he was a little unable to move forward or retreat.
This beetle was so cruel that Du Weiguo still felt severe pain in his body and his hands and feet were weak until now.
Based on the level of pain just now, it is estimated that if an ordinary person is bitten, it will be painful to death. Anyway, he never wants to be bitten again.
However, although this black beetle is ferocious enough, it is not difficult for Du Weiguo to exit safely now, but he is already here, and the treasure in the coffin is right in front of him.
Entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed, leaving empty-handed like this is a bit unwilling after all.
But if you don't leave, you have to kill these beetles. It's not easy to kill these beetles. There are so many of them that they almost cover the entire square, and they are still pouring in from outside the door until now.
Another point is that this thing is so fast that it would be extremely difficult to burn them to death with incendiary bombs. Besides, I don’t know if this thing is afraid of fire.
"Damn it, don't worry, let's try it first!"
Thinking of this, Du Weiguo suddenly climbed up the stone pillar like a big monkey. When he was approaching the dome, he threw an incendiary bomb directly at his feet.
"boom!"
The familiar white light shone, and countless beetles were instantly burned to ashes by the high temperature.
Ouch, there is a door! Du Weiguo suddenly felt happy.
But the next moment, his smile froze. Not only did the beetles not hide away when they saw the flames, but they rushed over like crazy, like rolling waves.
The ferocious white phosphorus fire shrunk almost visibly to the naked eye, and was extinguished in less than a minute, burning a few hundred beetles to death in total.
Du Weiguo quickly made a calculation in his mind:
Assuming that an incendiary bomb can kill 300 beetles, there are more than hundreds of thousands of beetles in front of you, and they are still pouring in outside the door.
Then, he needs to throw at least thousands of incendiary bombs to completely empty this thing. This method seems a bit stupid, right? If you hit it with bullets, that would be even more ridiculous~
"hiss!"
Just as Du Weiguo was stunned, another sharp pain came from the place where his calf was close to the stone pillar. A beetle suddenly came out of the hole in the stone pillar and gave him a hard bite.
Du Weiguo quickly picked the insect away, endured the pain and flew up, changing to a stone pillar again. While rubbing his calf, he turned his head and stared at the hole where the beetle had just drilled.
"Nah! These volcanic stones must be hollow."
Thinking of this, Du Weiguo seemed to feel something, and quickly looked up. Sure enough, the smooth stone walls of the dome were already covered with dense beetles, and they were quickly gathering towards the stone pillar where he was.
"grass!"
Du Weiguo's dead souls appeared in great numbers, and the entire square was made of volcanic stones. In other words, everything was surrounded by beetles from all directions. Going one step further, the entire temple was, to put it bluntly, an insect house!
The reason for the formation of those strange white bones in the corridor is self-evident.
But the biggest question now is, how can Du Weiguo leave this "worm house" without using teleportation?
"Crack!"
At this moment, the stone pillar where Du Weiguo had just rested suddenly cracked a large area where it had been burned by the incendiary bomb.
"Um?"
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows. This stone pillar is obviously made of volcanic stone. Is it so intolerant to burning? Is it because it is hollow?
Thinking of this, Du Weiguo's heart was filled with excitement. An idea flashed in his mind, and a very bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind!
The next second, Du Weiguo changed the stone pillar he was living on and threw out more than a dozen incendiary bombs. Each one hit the sarcophagus accurately and exploded. The huge white flame almost lit up the entire square.
"boom!"
The black beetles from all directions suddenly exploded into their nests, almost all at once, and rushed towards the sarcophagus at the same time.
Even the beetles on the dome didn't care about chasing Du Weiguo and rushed straight towards the central altar.
"Damn, it turns out these beetles are not afraid of fire, they are trying to set fire to my coffin!"
Du Weiguo's eyes were gleaming, a smile appeared on his lips, he shook his hands violently, and more than a dozen incendiary bombs flew toward the altar like meteors.
"boom!"
The flames near the sarcophagus instantly shot up into the sky, so fierce that it seemed to burn the sky and boil the sea, and it was difficult to suppress it.
Power works wonders, and so does fierce fire!
Dozens of incendiary bombs exploded in a concentrated manner, with astonishing power. It was simply not something that the black beetle could extinguish in a short time with its mere flesh and blood.
"Crackling~"
Just a moment later, the sarcophagus made a sound like exploding beans. It was almost deformed visible to the naked eye. Countless cracks were exposed on the surface, and pieces were hanging down.
At this moment, these beetles no longer cared about Du Weiguo. No matter where they were, they all rushed towards the fire like crazy.
It's really a bit of a sacrifice of life and death, and the posture of fighting one after another makes the scene look a bit tragic.
There is a saying that insects are the most disciplined and obedient of all known creatures on earth, and they must fulfill their true mission.
Needless to say, the beetles risked their lives to put out the fire, and the effect was indeed good. The fire that had just started was weakened almost visibly to the naked eye.
"Ha! Play with me like a moth to a flame, and we are united as one, right? Okay, then I will play with you!"
Seeing that the flames were about to be put out again, Du Weiguo's eyes sharpened and he lost his temper.
With a sudden struggle of arms, he threw a whole box of unopened incendiary bombs directly towards the sarcophagus, followed closely by more than a dozen meteors flying towards the moon.
The white phosphorus grenade used by Du Weiguo is Citi's special M34 jungle model. A box is full of 48 grenades, plus a dozen scattered ones, nearly 60 grenades.
"boom!"
Under his precise control, these white phosphorus grenades exploded almost simultaneously the moment they came into contact with the sarcophagus. At the same time, they also ignited the entire box of grenades, and flames shot into the sky! (End of chapter)
