NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23
Chapter 23: 【023】Blood-eating flying insects
The entire palace was filled with the breath of death, and no plants could grow on this land.
Jiang Le stepped in with a military shovel in his hand, and became very vigilant. After experiencing the incident just now, no one can say whether there are other foreign objects living in it. Maybe it is more strange than Lu Wu. Birds are even more dangerous.
About tens of meters deep, a lake surrounded by exquisite guardrails appeared in Jiang Le’s eyes. Obviously, there is a living vent below the lake, which can be connected to the outside world.
Otherwise, after so many years, the lake should have become unbearable, and it is impossible to maintain such clear water quality.
Next to the lake, a stone tablet was erected impressively. After years of vicissitudes, the stone tablet is now covered with moss. Jiang Le reached out and wiped it away with a military shovel, revealing the original appearance of the stone tablet with some Yema written on it.
Through the translator, Jiang Le learned that the content written in these words is: the fountain of life, nurturing the people.
On the east side of the lake is a tall building. The style of this building is very crude. It is supported by several huge stone pillars. It is extremely tall and at the same time reveals a sense of majesty.
Stepping on a stone ladder with dozens of steps, Jiang Le quickly came to the front of the temple. There were a lot of fallen bones on the stairs of this building, and they all had weapons in their hands. The king’s guard walked into the hall, and a magnificent epic feeling suddenly came oncoming. Jiang Le walked on the decaying carpet, observing the huge hall that was at least ten meters high.
The walls in the temple are full of history about the ancient country of Yema. Lu Wu appears very frequently. They are equivalent to the helpers of the Yema people and will do some daily work for the Yema people.
Such as camel cargo, cultivated land, manned and so on.
On the largest mural, King Kunlun was standing on top of a huge Lu Wu with a hill on its head, enjoying the worship of the people.
This made Jiang Le suddenly think of something. Could it be that the bone of the giant beast he saw just now was the one on the mural that was stepped on by King Kunlun’s feet?
Was Lu Wu able to grow to such a huge body?
The inner wall of this building is clinging to a lot of black silt, which is the same as the geological silt in the area where the huge skeleton was just now. I don’t know how many years it has been stuck on the wall, making the interior appear somewhat dim.
Jiang Le walked straight towards the deepest part of the hall, a chair that looked like a throne.
This chair is erected at the highest point in the hall, and the image is very domineering and mighty. From the material point of view, it seems that it is all made of gold. If this chair can be taken out, its status is no less than that of the dragon chair in the modern palace.
Seeing that the chair is getting closer and closer, the water friends in the live broadcast room are also excited, because they are so close, everyone found that on this chair, there is actually a skeleton with a crown sitting on it.
Obviously, there is only one person who has the qualification to wear this crown in Kunlun Ancient City.
That is the King of Kunlun.
“Finally found you!” Jiang Le looked excited.
According to rumors, King Kunlun, who had lived for hundreds of years, was finally found by him.
King Kunlun’s bones are also covered with a precious long robe, this long robe is obviously an extraordinary thing, after so many years, it has remained intact, and has not been affected by time at all.
There was a fist-sized hole in King Kunlun’s chest, and even this robe was torn.
It seems…someone assassinated this longevity king back then.
Such a historically valuable site is really the dream of countless archaeologists.
When Jiang Le looked at the skeleton, he didn’t notice a sudden movement on the surrounding walls.
The black silt began to loosen, and then it slowly flowed down from the wall like liquid, and soon a large piece of black water appeared on the ground.
From the black water, white worm eggs floated up, and after contacting the air, they hatched within a few seconds, and the ferocious-looking flying worms wriggled out of it.
“Huh? What sound?” Hearing a buzzing sound around him, Jiang Le instantly became alert and looked around.
Suddenly, I saw a group of dense black fog clusters approaching themselves, and when they got closer, they could see that these black fog clusters were actually composed of a large number of flying insects.
“I’m going!” Jiang Le’s scalp was numb for a moment, and he couldn’t think too much. He quickly waved the military shovel and slapped frantically.
In just a few blinks of an eye, these bugs wrapped Jiang Le to Tuan Tuan, and Jiang Le was completely invisible in the eyes of the water friends in the live broadcast room.
[Where are so many flying insects, it’s over, the anchor won’t really have an accident, right]
[I said that you can’t be too hard to be a human being. Now you have to get in with your life. Who knows if these worms can eat people.]
[It’s terrible, I dare not watch it when it’s over]
Everyone’s hearts were lifted up, feeling nervous for Jiang Le, but in the next moment, a figure suddenly rolled out of the flying insects. Upon closer inspection, it was Jiang Le.
His upper body was wrapped tightly with a waterproof cloth, which prevented his face from being bitten by flying insects. After escaping from the insect swarm, Jiang Le hurriedly ran towards the outside of the hall. It was obvious that this place could no longer be stayed. .
But the insect swarm did not intend to let him go, and followed Jiang Le closely and rushed out of the hall. The longer time passed, the number of insect swarms became more and more, and it soon gradually evolved into a posture covering the sky and the sun. In midair.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Jiang Le’s mind. Could it be that all the bones that he saw in the ancient city of Kunlun were killed by these insects along the way?
It is not impossible to assume that those skeletons are all in a posture of wanting to flee.
But the question is, why do these bugs appear in Kunlun Ancient City?
Is it inherently present, or is it introduced from outside?
At this time, Jiang Le couldn’t help thinking too much. There was an empty space outside the hall, and there was no place for him to hide. At this time, the lake attracted his attention.
In a hurry, Jiang Le couldn’t manage too much, and jumped directly into the lake.
A large number of flying insects hovered above the lake. It seemed that they didn’t have the ability to enter the water. They could only patrol the lake, trying to wait until Jiang Le emerged.
But Jiang Le is a man with A-level diving, holding his breath underwater for a few minutes is not a problem at all.
However, after two or three minutes passed, the group of flying insects still had no intention of leaving, and they were still hovering above the water surface. Jiang Le frowned as he watched at the bottom of the water.
This is how to do? As soon as he appeared, he would be attacked, and now there was nowhere to go.
