I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

Looking at the empty red coffin with no corpse at all, the four of them stopped in front of the coffin.

Eggplant scolded:

"Grass, how many fake tombs did this old boy King Zhao make?"

Ji Han retorted:

"No, King Zhao, as the last monarch whose country was destroyed and his family perished, should not have that strength. It would be good to be able to make such a tomb. But why is there no corpse?"

Saying that, Ji Han picked up the bundle of bamboo slips in the coffin.

I opened it and found that it was the third volume that was missing from the box of "Worm of Worms" I just read, so I started to read it.

Chen Ke checked the coffin and found that there was a small flap attached to the inside of the coffin lid.

"Look, there is indeed an agency here."

Song Qian and Eggplant looked at it, but they couldn't see where the mechanism was connected to this small flap.

"Indeed, but there is no change in the surrounding area. Could it be that the mechanism is broken? Or it was activated, but we didn't find it?"

At this time, Ji Han said to himself:

"Damn it, it's actually like this!"

As he spoke, the bamboo slips in his hand fell to the ground, and the rotten bamboo strips were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing Ji Han's shocked face, the three of them didn't understand what happened.

Song Qian had never seen Ji Han's face so ugly before, she stepped forward and asked:

"Brother Han, what's the matter? What did this bamboo slip say?"

Ji Han swallowed and said:

"We were all deceived by the old bastard Zhao Wangdai!"

After that, explain the content of this volume in detail.

It turns out that what is recorded in the third volume of "Chong Wu Jing" is the characteristics and usage of the insect called "red".

However, it is different from what is written on the wall of the blood pool in the tomb of General Daliao outside.

"Red" insects are divided into worker insects, male insects, and queen insects. The division of labor among the three is the same as what is written on the outside, and there is no difference.

The worker insects cut up the corpse to build a nest, the male insect controls the corpse to defend the nest, and the queen is responsible for producing "red" insects.

In the legend of the Land of Southern Witches, the "red" worm is indeed related to immortality. But in terms of specific usage, only the first half is written on the wall of the blood pool.

That is, after killing 999 people, use their blood to breed "red" worms, and the queen will live among the uninjured corpses in the blood pool.

But it doesn't mean that if you let the corpse that the queen lives in soak in the blood pool for thousands of years, and then leave, you can become a fairy and live forever.

Because after a thousand years, although the worm queen perfectly absorbed 999 kinds of blood essence, she gained the strength of nearly a thousand people and the ability to live forever.

But the corpse that the queen lived in couldn't resist such high-intensity blood corrosion, so after a thousand years, the corpse would be completely corroded, and together with the queen's body, it would become something like cotton wool.

Then at this time, provide the queen with an uninjured corpse, so that the two can truly fuse together, resurrect the dead, and obtain a near-perfect eternal life.

Moreover, the older the corpse, the stronger its strength after fusion.

After listening to Ji Han finish explaining the contents of the third volume of "Chong Wu Jing", everyone also understood the meaning of it.

Eggplant scolded:

"Grass, that is to say, the old boy King Zhao made up a fake immortality scheme, tricked this general of Daliao into killing nine hundred and ninety-nine people for himself, filled the pool of blood, and used his own body to kill nine hundred and ninety-nine people. The worm queen who raised the 'red' worm. In fact, all this is to make wedding clothes for Zhao Wangdai? So that I can directly pick the fruit in the end and get real immortality?"

Ji Han nodded.

According to the current situation, this is indeed the case, and everything seems to be proceeding according to King Zhao's plan.

Song Qian remembered the blood man who attacked her in the blood pool before, and asked:

"Could it be that the blood man who attacked me in the blood pool was General Daliao who had been corrupted by the queen of the 'Red' worm?"

Ji Han frowned and replied:

"This should be,

Unexpectedly, this General Daliao, who dreamed of immortality, killed thousands of people, but ended up like this himself. "

Chen Ke searched for this idea and said:

"Then this Zhao Wangdai only needs to fuse his thousand-year-old corpse with the worm queen, so that he can be resurrected again and live forever?"

No one responded. After all, facing such a big reversal, it was a bit difficult to accept, but the facts were right in front of us, and the answer was yes.

Ji Han took a deep breath and said:

"The key now is where is King Zhao's body?"

Song Qian stared at the empty coffin and said:

"Not only the corpse of King Zhao, but also the divine pillar is not in this coffin."

As soon as he thought of the divine pillar, Ji Han habitually looked at the divine pillar detector on Song Qian's waist.

It turned out that the detector lights had gone out.

"Song Qian, is your Shenzhu detector broken?"

Song Qian also looked down before realizing it, took it off and looked at it:

"No, the detector is not broken, it's just that we have distanced ourselves from the divine pillar."

No, shouldn't the Divine Pillar be carried by this King Zhao? Why can't I see it after going deep into his tomb?

Suddenly, Ji Han realized something, and hurriedly asked:

"When we just came down from the hole in the wall opposite the blood pool, was the light of the Shenzhu detector on?"

Song Qian nodded, and everyone remembered.

Ji Han raised his head and looked towards the place where everyone had just come, there was still standing the lamp that made the four of them turn around in circles.

Then Ji Han gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Fuck, the four of us have been tricked!"

Everyone didn't understand what it meant, and Eggplant scolded:

"Wardfa, let me tell you, Ji Han, tell me what's going on! Don't play charades with us, okay?"

Ji Han took out the mechanical crossbow, installed the burning arrow, and explained:

"First, after we went down to the tomb, the further we walked in, the detectors showed that the distance from the divine pillar was farther away, indicating that the divine pillar was behind us, that is, where the earth murals were."

"Second, we saw that there are six small openings in the low pit next to the blood pool. If the wall of the blood pool really collapses as written on the outside, then blood will pour into those openings. The positions of the six small openings , just above the back of the earthen wall."

"Thirdly, this coffin is obviously a decoy. It touched the mechanism of the small flap just now, but there was no trap nearby. If my expectation is correct, it is because the mechanism is connected to the place where we came down. , the mechanism that controls the wall of the blood pool. If the mechanism is activated here, the wall of the blood pool over there should have been broken."

"So you said, where is King Zhao's body?"

Chen Ke immediately understood.

"Just where it came down, behind the earthen wall with the murals?"

Ji Han nodded, holding up the mechanical crossbow while aiming in the direction of the lamp, he explained:

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the blood has already been poured into the real coffin behind the earthen wall, King Zhao's body may have fused with the 'Red' Queen Chongchong."

As soon as the words fell, the four of them heard a "boom" and the sound of the wall breaking.

Then I saw that at the farthest place where the four people came down, the two lamps there suddenly went out.

Ji Han aimed at that direction and shot out the burning arrow with a "whoosh".

The flaming arrows illuminated the distance, but the distance was too far, and only a black figure could be seen standing in front of the broken wall, and the blood in the wall was continuously pouring into the tomb.

Ji Han smiled wryly and said:

"Everyone, it seems that we are going to kill the immortals."
