Li Yang discovered a blind spot.
The Azure Scaled Python was not featured in the web series!
Ada originally told these things to remind everyone that the underground river was very dangerous and that they should not go astray.
But to his astonishment, he found that these leaders from other places were all incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Let's take this river route!"
"That's right, if you just get through the game smoothly, there's absolutely no sense of adventure!"
"Are there really piranhas here? My Qi has never come into contact with these little guys before, I wonder if they're easy to control!"
"I want to break off the fangs of that giant snake and keep them!"
"When I took leave before, my colleagues kept asking me for local specialties. The stone figures hanging upside down in the cave are quite unique and would be a good choice for local specialties!"
Li Yang looked at Hu Yifei, who had said those words, with a speechless expression.
If you actually bring a human cocoon back with you, your colleagues will be incredibly unlucky!
Chapter Eighteen: Human Pupae and Water Pig Bees! The Invaluable Power of Immunity to All Evils!
The group worked together on the shore to cut bamboo and make a raft, then rowed the raft with the current into the cave.
The temperature inside the cave was completely different from the outside temperature.
Despite the outside temperature being over 30 degrees Celsius, everyone was only wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt, but once inside the cave, they shivered from the cold and hurriedly put on thicker clothes.
Li Yang tentatively put his hand into the water; it was icy cold.
Bright searchlights illuminated the dark cave, revealing the interior to everyone.
Everywhere there were jagged rocks, like malevolent demons baring their fangs from hell.
When they reached the fork in the road that Ada had mentioned, the group abandoned the calm river and instead rowed the bamboo raft down the river where they would encounter the stone caterpillar and the giant snake.
There is a huge natural red bead on the top of the rock wall here.
Behind the red bead is a huge cave entrance shaped like an animal head.
The beast's head opened its blood-red maw and continuously devoured the underground river.
The river has become much more turbulent.
With this speed boost, the group quickly arrived directly beneath a group of upside-down stone figures!
These stone figures are all hanging upside down on the cliff face at the top of the cave, with their hands behind their backs and bound by bronze chains.
Perhaps due to the cold and damp underground environment, the facial features of the stone figurines have become completely blurred, making it impossible to tell whether they are male or female.
Li Yang only glanced at them briefly, but there were no fewer than a thousand stone figures in front of him!
In addition, some of the bronze chains have clearly come off, and the bound stone figures have long since fallen into the water. There may be more than three thousand stone figures here!
That Prince Xian deserves to die! He's guilty of a thousand crimes!
This guy actually wants to become an immortal?
He deserves to suffer in hell for all eternity!
Because these stone figurines were all made from living people!
As a soul ferryman, Li Yang can see the twisted souls attached to the stone figures, who are wailing in agony...
They wailed for two thousand years, yet could never find relief!
The gasps of surprise from the guys at Love Apartment and the excited shouts of Professor Chen's team echoed from all around.
They planned to stay here for a while and study these stone figures carefully.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were preparing to remove the stone figurine closest to the water for Professor Chen to study.
at this time.
Professor Chen looked around at the stone figures with great excitement, saying, "Although the outlines of these stone figures are already blurred, judging from their hairstyles and clothing, they should be in the style of the Han Dynasty..."
Shirley Yang stepped forward and gently scraped the surface of the stone figure twice with her paratrooper knife, smelled the powder on the tip of the knife, and frowned slightly.
"These terracotta warriors don't seem to be made of stone..."
"If it's not a stone, could it be mud?"
aside.
Old Meng suddenly warned, "Everyone be careful! I can sense with my Qi that there are many leech-like insects sleeping inside these human cocoons!"
“Each stone pupa contains thousands of these insects!”
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were so frightened they almost dropped the stone figurine they were holding.
"Holy crap, I'm terrified of leeches, those things suck blood!"
At this time.
Li Yang slowly began to speak: "Everyone be careful not to let these human pupae get wet, otherwise the water slugs inside them will awaken from their dormant state!"
"And Shirley Yang is right, these human cocoons are not made of stone or mud, but are made from living people!"
Everyone was shocked to hear Li Yang say that.
"Comrade Xiao Li, are you saying that these thousands of stone cocoons were once living people?"
Professor Chen couldn't believe it.
Li Yang nodded. "That's right! Moreover, there are far more than a thousand human cocoons here. Adding the terracotta warriors that fell off earlier, there might be as many as three thousand!"
"Don't forget, the King of Xian was an expert in weaving. He fed the craftsmen and slaves who built his tomb with a mixture of sorghum and chrysanthemum, which provided them with nutrients!"
"Until the human body's flesh and blood are completely destroyed, the traces of blood and flesh will remain."
"And those who are playful and vulgar, yet possess a clear and honest character, are truly adept at navigating social unrest and corruption."

……
The surroundings were completely silent, save for the sounds of breathing and flowing water.
Everyone was stunned by Li Yang's guess.
As people living in a civilized society, it is truly hard to imagine how cruel King Xian was back then!
"Damn the Prince Xian, fuck his grandma!"
"Once we find that old zombie, the King Xian, I'm going to give him a good beating!"
"Only in the most primitive slave societies could such horrific things happen!"
"This bastard dares to dream of becoming an immortal? He deserves to suffer in the eighteenth level of hell for all eternity!"
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush to the tomb of King Xian immediately and drag that damned King Xian out to be crushed to ashes.
However, remembering that these human cocoons contained terrifying leeches, the group decided to slip away quietly, without causing any disturbance, so that the upside-down human cocoons would fall into the water.
There are thousands of leeches in a single human pupa, and there are at least a thousand human pupae here. The number of leeches must be incredible...
Wouldn't that mean a terrifying million?!
I can’t afford to offend you! I really can’t afford to offend you!
But Li Yang had a different opinion, muttering to himself:
"Although I'm just a part-time soul ferryman, a temporary worker, I can't just ignore these wailing souls..."
Then, he looked at Hu Yifei and asked:
"Yifei, can you do me a favor?"
"What do you want me to do?"
Hu Yifei's fingers unleashed a sharp sword aura.
"Shoot down all the cocoons!"
hiss~
Everyone was shocked.
"Li Yang, are you crazy? If you take all the pupae off, the leeches inside will come back to life, and then how are we supposed to survive?"
Lu Ziqiao was screaming.
The expressions on the faces of the others were no better.
Fatty Wang quietly took out a black donkey hoof from his backpack and exchanged a glance with Hu Bayi.
He suspected that Li Yang was possessed by some evil spirit.
Later, Lao Hu and I will stuff the black donkey hoof into Li Yang's mouth to ward off evil spirits!
Li Yang shook his head. "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with them!"
bass!
Whoosh!
Hu Yifei didn't give anyone a chance to persuade her. Dozens of sword energies flew out from her hands and quickly slashed at the upside-down terracotta warriors.
The terracotta figures fell into the cold underground river like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
soon.
The river surface seemed to boil, as a large number of water wasps awakened and leaped out of the water, heading straight for the bamboo raft.
Each water slug is about the size of a fingertip, with fins the size of a little fingernail on both sides of its body, and it swims very fast in the water!
Having been starved for two thousand years, these water hog bees are eager to taste fresh meat!
Old Meng poured his own Qi into the river surface, attempting to control these water hogs and bees.
But when his Qi came into contact with the Water Pig Queen, her expression changed drastically!
"This is bad! These water hog bees are completely irrational. Their consciousness is incredibly chaotic, and they are filled with extremely strong resentment. I can't completely control them!"
"If I try to control it by force, the immense resentment will immediately destroy my mind!"
Li Yang nodded, "It's understandable to have grievances!"
"These terracotta warriors swallowed the '瞇螅' (a type of insect), and the '媚闬炊伦⊙鄱强垢簐绕咔匣掩畨畋唼溃' (another type of insect) slowly devoured their flesh and blood, naturally their resentment soared to the heavens!"
aside.
Wang Zhenqiu scatters handfuls of millet into the water from his pocket!
This is a magic trick he once learned—the Millet Thousand Pieces Treasure!
Millet refined with secret incantations, when scattered on the ground, produces a fixed effect on any creature that comes into contact with it!
The water hog wasp froze instantly upon contact with the millet!
But this can only temporarily hold off the water wasps; it cannot eradicate them!
Everyone looked at Li Yang.
Since you're the one who caused this mess, surely there's a way to fix it?
Li Yang held Hu Yifei in his palm.
"Yifei, you cut your hand!"
bass!
Without hesitation, Hu Yifei used her sword energy to slash open Li Yang's palm.
呲~
Bright red blood gathered into droplets and fell into the river.
moment.
A golden light, invisible to ordinary people, covered the entire river surface!
