Chapter 22

scattering the thick fog.That's when.At a glance, I saw Hong Jie lying on the lawn two or three hundred meters away, stretching her limbs as if she had just woken up."Red Sister!"I ran quickly downwa...Looking at the dark hole, I said with lingering fear: "Big brother, you don't know, I dug out a human bone from down there. That day there was a stench, but today for some reason, it's gone."

“

"Hey, Big Brother, there are bite-inducing Corpse Fairy down here. Don't reach in and touch them!"

Sun Lao San asked in puzzlement, "What's that Corpse-corner fairy Isn't it a snake that bites you"

"No, no, it's not," I shook my head like a metronome.

"It definitely wasn't a snake, I could feel it."

"Xiao Yunfeng, what you said.... is it a beetle with a white horn on its head Kind of like a bigger rhinoceros beetle" Aunt Jade glared at me.

I didn't see the thing that night, but Liu Po told me it had white tentacles. Doesn't that match what she said

I thought about it and said, maybe.

Seeing me nod, Jade Sister and Yao Wenci's faces instantly turned pale, the change very obvious.

"What's wrong, Yao girl" Sun Lao San asked her.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at me and said, "You can call it Corpse-horned Fairy if you like. My uncle told me that thing only lives for two or three months and can only survive by eating rotting flesh. It's a very rare, burrowing venomous insect."

”

"This can only mean one thing," she said, her face as cold as ice as she pointed to the pottery jar. "Down there, ninety percent chance we have dead bodies, and the time of death is definitely no more than three months ago."

">

"Move aside," Yao Wenci pulled out a steel tube from his bag. It wasn't very long and had an eye on top, I didn't know what it was for.

He then stuck the end of his stick into the bottom of the tank.

After more than three minutes, like fishing, he carefully reeled in the rod.

The stick bug, surprisingly, brought along two flat rhinoceros beetles!

Everyone was startled because this beetle looked strange, unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. No one knew what it was.

These two flattened beetles have many legs, rivaling centipedes. Besides their mouthparts, their heads also sport a white antenna about an inch long, resembling an old man's white beard. The whole thing looks both ugly and strange.

"Be careful, don't get bitten, this thing is poisonous," Jade reminded.

A man with a flat head, Yao Wencai, swung his truncheon and stomped on it.

The two beetles were crushed instantly, and some yellow-green juice squirted out, smelling foul.

Sun Lao San swallowed nervously and said, "What do we do next Are we going to dig down through this"

The diameter of the tank is huge. I eyeballed it, and unless it's someone really big, a normal sized man or woman should be able to fit inside. I even thought to myself, could it be that Second Brother went in himself

"Are you crazy! Don't you have any sense These beetles are poisonous, and who knows how many more there are down there. Going down there is like asking for death!" Yu Jie shook her head, sarcastically reprimanding Sun Lao San.

Sun Laosan might be a little angry. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Oh, Miss Yao, I wonder what your esteemed opinion is”

Yu Jie let out a cold snort and said, “That's right, I took money from Wang Ba Tou. But the reason me and my brother came is all because of my uncle's face. I'm here to help find someone, not to come here and risk my life with you lot.”

“

"This hole, you guys have to go down it, my brother and sister definitely won't be going down."

"It's okay, you guys were fine just a moment ago. Why are you suddenly arguing" Seeing the tense atmosphere between them, I hurried out to mediate.

"What if... what if we start a fire Maybe we could burn all these nasty bugs to death" I suggested.

That night.

On the halfway up Fei'e Mountain, a strange and beautiful sight appeared.

I wonder whose ancestors' graves are smoking.th a smile, "Old Su Qin, you're quite old now, still running around for the association. People care about you, so you went all the way to Shun De just to tie up this millennium-old zongzi I think you...
