Chapter 1407 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 7
[Mr. Shu, weren't you supposed to be the appraiser? Why are you out on the ground?]
[Boss Shu...]
Shu Jiao's face is quite well-known.
He was quickly recognized by the viewers in the live stream.
The live chat became even more lively.
However, at this moment, none of the archaeologists were in the mood to pay attention to the comments. They were all struggling to get up after being detoxified, staring at the two sharp fang marks on their wrists and lost in thought.
Then, they all turned to look at Shu Jiao.
"Jiaojiao, did you come alone?"
Chi Yu looked at Shu Jiao hesitantly, then at the muscle lines visible beneath her tight vest, and fell into even deeper confusion.
Haven't seen you in a while...
My dear girl, I didn't know you were so strong!
"That's right. If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been stuck here?"
Shu Jiao slowly and gently swayed the black fan that looked quite heavy, her posture relaxed and composed.
He looks like a veteran player from the tomb.
But Chi Yu thought for a long time and still couldn't remember when her friend had gone down into the tomb.
Just as I was about to ask a question, I saw Shu Jiao tilt her head slightly as if she had heard something. "Let's go, there are some little ones catching up behind us. Quite a few."
Having said that, he lifted his foot and walked forward.
It wasn't the first time anyone had been to the fields, so they all understood what Shu Jiao meant. They quickly packed their things and silently followed behind her.
Upon seeing a half-open tomb door so close at hand, the group felt no excitement whatsoever. Instead, their minds began to flash back to the tragic fates of their companions who had died one after another after the doors had been opened in the past.
The alert level is immediately set to maximum.
What kind of "surprise" will the tomb owner give them this time?
"It's the Stone Gate."
Those in the team who were good at working with mechanisms stepped forward to explore and figure it out.
The stone gate is a single, solid piece, three meters high, with densely carved lines on it, leaving an extremely narrow gap, as if waiting for someone to push it open.
"There are no mechanisms."
After thoroughly examining the stone gate and confirming that no problems were found, the person in charge of the organization replied.
To open or not to open?
Just as the professors were hesitating, they heard a rustling sound coming from behind them.
Turning my head to look...
My ancestors!
I was so scared I almost flew out of my skin.
A fiery red mass rushed toward them, and when the light shone on it, all they could see were crimson insects they had never seen before.
They resemble beetles in appearance, but their shells are red and shiny. Each one is about the size of a thumb and has a pair of serrated antennae on its head. There are so many of them that you can't see the end of them.
The equipment they couldn't take with them, which remained in place, was completely destroyed after the insects crawled over it.
"Push open the door! Quick, get in!"
At this point, they no longer cared what was inside the tomb.
All they knew was that if they didn't find somewhere to hide, they would be devoured by these insects until they were nothing but bones.
"crunch~"
A group of people worked together to push the stone door open and then close it.
The insects didn't get in.
But the tomb was pitch black.
"what is that?"
"Who knows? How come there are so many strange things in this tomb?"
Several team members, panting heavily, leaned against the door that had just been closed as they talked.
"That's called a Skull Gu."
Shu Jiao leaned against the door. "They are social creatures that eat everything except copper, jade, and stone. Of course, their favorite food is fresh flesh and blood. If they don't eat flesh and blood for six months, they will remain in a deep sleep."
"Until I was awakened by the blood and qi again."
As for where the blood and qi come from?
Weren't they all injured at the flying needle trap just now?
The smell of blood is so strong. These skeleton worms haven't eaten fresh flesh and blood for who knows how many years. Wouldn't they chase after it to death if they smelled it?
When everyone realized what was happening, they couldn't help but feel alarmed.
Good heavens!
They were almost all eaten!
Clutching their trembling hearts, the group turned on the lights they carried with them.
"pat-"
After a few sounds, the pitch-black tomb was finally illuminated.
"Holy shit!"
"sky!"
After seeing the contents of the tomb, some people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Several elderly professors couldn't help but frown, their eyes scanning their surroundings, their brows never relaxing.
The tomb chamber is quite large, about 100 square meters.
The ground was made of the most common blue bricks, and on the blue bricks stood rows of human-shaped cocoons wrapped in black silk threads. The cocoons were linked together vertically by iron chains, and the place where the feet stood was fixed by two thick wooden nails.
The surrounding area was pitch black.
Those familiar with working in the tomb know that those are dried bloodstains.
In the very center of the tomb chamber, a high platform was built, upon which sat a dark wooden coffin bound with iron chains.
Forty-eight bronze lamps were placed on the surrounding walls.
Above each lamp, a human-shaped cocoon wrapped in black silk thread hangs upside down.
"What are all these things?"
"Buried alive? How can there be so many?"
"This is too eerie..."
The members of the archaeological team discussed the matter, all with a sense of foreboding.
At the same time, the viewers in the live broadcast room finally saw the situation in the tomb chamber and couldn't help but hug themselves tightly.
mother!
Help!!
Where did this come from?
[It's better to go out and face those bugs; who knows, I, Boss Shu, might have a way. I've never seen these things before.]
[You've already sent me to the underworld before I'm even supposed to die?]
Mom, protect me!
[Are they all real people?! This is absolutely outrageous!]
We weren't mentally prepared enough.
The audience was also discussing it, wanting to watch but also afraid, so they could only half-cover their eyes and stare intently at the screen, their faces practically screaming "bad at playing games."
At this moment, the members of the archaeological team endured the pain of the needles piercing their bodies and began to explore the tomb chamber.
no way.
The needle is stuck deep in my flesh, and there's no way to remove it now, so I might as well get back to work.
Some went to check the air quality in the tomb, some to observe the murals, and some to examine the lampstands and the corpses.
The upside-down human-shaped cocoon on the bronze lamp, in particular, gave everyone an extremely heavy sense of oppression.
Shu Jiao stood in the corner, looking around.
"It's not really a trap, it's just kind of cute."
003 said after checking it once.
Upon hearing this, Shu Jiao's gaze drifted lightly to the coffin, then looked at Chi Yu, who was cautiously approaching the corpse. Chi Yu had already taken out a lighter, preparing to light the bronze lamp.
"clatter."
Shu Jiao gently pressed the fan in her hand against the back of Chi Yu's hand. "Don't light it."
Chi Yu: ?
Although he didn't understand, he obediently put away the lighter and then asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Ok?
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Shu Jiao.
"Ah."
Shu Jiao nodded slightly, "Let the insects hollow out a person's internal organs and flesh, and make them into lamp oil. With the help of a secret method, the human oil can flow down little by little through the hole in the top of the skull and onto the candlestick."
"This is called a human candle lamp."
"When lit, it emits a hallucinogenic fragrance."
Chi Yu: ...
He quickly tossed the lighter into his pocket.
Archaeological team members: ...
Oh my god, there's a pervert here!
Viewers in the live stream: ...
[This gave me goosebumps.]
[My goodness, to be eaten alive by bugs, that must have been incredibly painful!]
The person who buried this tomb is truly inhuman.
