Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 86
Chapter 86 Carnivorous Insects
Jiang Feng and Yanhong pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus with the jade slip. In order to make a plan, Jiang Feng jumped into the sarcophagus first.
Jiang Feng stayed in the sarcophagus for about two to three minutes. After confirming that there was no problem, he waved to Yanhong.
“You can come in as well.”
Yanhong nodded and reached out to press the edge of the sarcophagus. She jumped into the sarcophagus.
Jiang Feng picked up the jade slip in the sarcophagus and looked at it. He even secretly used his Dao Yuan Force to feel it, but he didn’t notice anything strange. Perhaps the most mysterious thing about this jade slip was the contents of the words on it. Jiang Feng threw the jade slip into his small wooden chest. Then he looked at Yanhong and said, “Hold me tight.”
“Yes.” Yanhong wrapped her hands around Jiang Feng’s waist and hugged him tightly.
Jiang Feng took a slight breath and reached out to press the protruding stone button. As expected, the bottom of the sarcophagus suddenly opened. Jiang Feng and Yanhong’s bodies were weightless as they quickly descended.
The two of them screamed loudly, but it didn’t take long for Jiang Feng to feel that he had landed on the ground. He glanced at Yanhong, who was still hugging him tightly, and asked, “How is it? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Yanhong shook her head and her body trembled. She smiled and said, “Why is this place so soft?”
“Because there’s someone on the ground …”
“Ah!”
Yanhong, who had been with Jiang Feng the entire time, suddenly heard a voice from a third person and was shocked. She jumped to her feet, and at the same time, Jiang Feng straightened himself up.
“Master Yuan?” Yanhong blinked her beautiful eyes, her face full of surprise.
Jiang Feng looked up and found that Lu Ren, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Wen were looking at him dumbly. Yanhong also noticed them and immediately cried out in surprise, “Young Master Wen, Lu Ren, Young Master Da.”
Xiao Ding nodded and asked Jiang Feng indifferently, “Are you alright?”
Jiang Feng shook his head and stabbed the sword in his back into the gap between the box and his back. “How are you?” Xiao Ding asked.
“It’s fine.” Xiao Ding replied simply.
Xiao Wen’s eyes, which were hiding behind the golden-rimmed spectacles, paused on Yanhong and Jiang Feng for a moment. Finally, Xiao Wen shouted faintly, “Yanhong, come here.”
“Yes, Young Master Wen.” Yanhong secretly glanced at Jiang Feng and walked to Xiao Wen’s side.
Xiao Wen gestured to Lu Ren, “Give her a dress.”
“Yes.” Lu Ren felt that he took a camouflage gown from his backpack and gave it to Yanhong. After putting it on, his graceful figure was instantly covered. Jiang Feng couldn’t help but shout in his heart, “What a pity.”
Jiang Feng sized up his surroundings. This was not a big stone room. The stone room was empty, as if it was a completely sealed space.
Jiang Feng was also a little dumbfounded. He couldn’t figure out where he was in the tomb. He asked Xiao Ding, “Why are you here?”
“The four of us have been here since we fell from that palace. We searched the entire stone room, but we couldn’t find the mechanism.” Yuan Suanzi stood up and rubbed his old waist as he replied on behalf of Xiao Ding.
Jiang Feng walked to the wall of the stone room and knocked on it. Xiao Wen said, “We have knocked on it, including the ground. It is solid.”
Jiang Feng ignored him and continued to beat him inch by inch.
Everyone stood at the side and looked at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng knocked on every single place very seriously. After about an hour, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped. He first knocked on the stone wall in front of him, and then knocked on another stone wall. The two voices sounded very similar, but Xiao Ding said with certainty, “The voice is different!”
Jiang Feng nodded his head and directly pulled out his sword from his back. Then, the tip of the sword aimed at the spot where he had just struck and pierced into it.
Kaka! The stone wall split open, and the sword in Jiang Feng’s hand trembled. A small round hole appeared on the stone wall that was only enough for two fingers to reach in. Jiang Feng stretched out his right index finger and middle finger and touched the small round hole.
Very quickly, Jiang Feng pulled out a bronze ring from the small round hole with his right hand.
At the same time that Jiang Feng pulled out the bronze ring, three square stone pillars rose from the center of the stone room. On the stone pillars were three white jade boxes.
The three white jade boxes were square, with auspicious clouds carved on the outside, and a word written in Zhong Dingwen in the middle.
Jiang Feng pointed at the three white jade boxes and asked Xiao Ding, “What is written on it? Can you recognize it?”
“The word’death ‘.” Xiao Ding replied.
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and immediately understood.
It was said that King Zhou was tempted by Da Ji to kill Minister Xin Yi at the end of the Shang Dynasty. However, he was afraid that he would fall into the name of brutality, so he set up this life and death lot. Just like now, the three boxes allowed Xin Yi to choose “life” to avoid death. If he chose “death”, his head would fall to the ground.
However, at that time, King Zhou’s three jade boxes were all filled with the word’death ‘. I just don’t know how this is now. ”
With that, Jiang Feng sent out his wandering soul to explore the three jade boxes. However, wandering soul Xiao Qiang circled around the three jade boxes, but he couldn’t find a crack that he could enter.
Jiang Feng was deep in thought, trying to find a perfect method to accurately find the lot box that could “live”. However, Xiao Wen walked directly to a jade box and said indifferently, “Since there is a chance to live, then no matter what, we have to fight. It’s better than being trapped here alive.”
Xiao Wen opened the jade box in the middle, and a green shell beetle the size of an adult adult’s thumb crawled out of the jade box. The beetle looked like a shovel beetle, with two antler-like teeth on its head. Its tip was exceptionally sharp, and its inner side was like a thin blade.
There were only two differences from the spade beetle. One was that its shell was green, and the other was that it had a row of slender teeth between its two large teeth, which seemed to be quite sharp.
After climbing out of the jade box, the green shell beetle directly jumped off the stone pillar. Xiao Wen snorted coldly and stepped on the green shell beetle. At the same time, he said with a disdainful expression, “I thought it was so powerful. Originally, it was just an inconspicuous insect.”
“Kabiu” The insect’s back shell was crushed, and the sound of its corpse turning into a puddle of meat came from the moment Xiao Wen put his foot down.
Jiang Feng was shocked and shouted at Xiao Wen loudly, “You idiot! This is a carnivorous insect, and it’s also a female carnivorous insect! You actually trampled it to death!”
“Is mother’s carnivorous insects very precious?” Operator Yuan couldn’t help but ask. It seemed that he didn’t move what this corpse-eating insect was.
Before Jiang Feng could reply, the white jade box that had crawled out of the Corpse Devouring Insect suddenly emitted dense bug cries. This sound made people want to go crazy, want to go crazy, as if their scalps were about to crack.
“Fire! Fire! Hurry!” Jiang Feng urged loudly. Lu Ren quickly took out a few bottles of zippo oil from his backpack and threw them to Xiao Wen, Jiang Feng, and Yanhong.
Jiang Feng quickly opened the bottle of zippo oil in his hand and poured it on the ground. He touched it on his body and couldn’t help but curse, “Fuck! Where’s the lighter!”
Suddenly, dense, black carnivorous insects crawled out of the white jade box. The female carnivorous insects were green shells, and the male insects were all black shells. There were countless new carnivorous insects, and Lu Ren, who was closest to them, had just finished sprinkling zippo oil in front of him, preparing to ignite the fire.
However, he took out his lighter and didn’t hit it twice. The carnivorous insects had already climbed up to him. Lu Ren hurriedly stepped on it. He could have killed seven or eight corpse-eating insects in one kick.
Unfortunately, the insect crawled into his trousers’ legs along his feet. Then Lu Ren screamed loudly and kept saying, “It’s in, it’s in the flesh!”
Lu Ren’s right foot went limp and fell to the ground. Countless carnivorous insects quickly covered his body.
Kaka, Kaka, Kaka … The sound of teeth chewing on flesh and blood, bones continuously rang out.
Another wave of Corpse Devouring Insects crawled towards Jiang Feng and the others. Jiang Feng had no other choice but to slash the ground with his sword. The spark from the sword immediately ignited the zippo oil on the ground. A fire belt appeared in front of Jiang Feng and the others.
The moment the carnivorous insects came into contact with the fire, they were immediately charred. However, they did not seem to have any idea of death. The carnivorous insects in front of them were charred, and did not hinder them from continuing forward in the slightest.
Soon, many corpses of carnivores piled up in front of the fire belt, and the smell of charred carcasses permeated the entire stone room. Lu Ren cried out in extreme sorrow. Xiao Ding pulled out a pistol from his waist and shot at Lu Ren’s head, but it caused him pain.
Xiao Wen did not look at Lu Ren from beginning to end. Instead, he carefully used zippo oil to fill the fire belt, afraid that the fire would break somewhere.
Yanhong looked at Lu Ren’s slowly disappearing corpse, tears streaming down her face.
But she did not cry, as if trying to keep herself calm.
As more and more corpse-eating insects appeared, Jiang Feng’s and the others’ fire belts had already turned into a circle. There were all corpse-eating insects outside the circle. It was unknown how many corpse-eating insects had survived inside the stone pillar. In any case, there were still corpse-eating insects crawling out of the stone pillar.
The entire floor of the stone room was almost filled with corpse-eating insects. If a person with dense phobia saw this scene in front of them, they would definitely go crazy.
Jiang Feng looked at the zippo oil in his hand and shook his head. “This is not the way. We have to gather all the zippo oil and slowly burn the fire to get close to the three life and death lots. There are still two lots left. We can only gamble half of the time to see if we can find the passage mechanism to escape from the stone room.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you!” Xiao Ding nodded.
Jiang Feng glanced at Xiao Wen and Xiao Wen nodded. Jiang Feng couldn’t help but glance in the direction of Lu Ren’s corpse. Aside from a pool of blood on the ground, there wasn’t even a bit of bone residue left.
