Chapter 73 Chi Gu

After resting, everyone continued to climb up. After climbing for dozens of meters, they found many figures hanging on the bronze branches above.

Chen Hao hurriedly made a stop to move forward, signaling them to stop and use their yin and yang eyes to carefully look at the figures.

When I looked at it, I realized that these figures were very similar to those monkeys wearing masks below. They also wore a large human face mask on their faces. They had a cold expression and looked down coldly, but they were taller than the size.

Wuxie turned on the wolf's eyes and flashed the figures. When he saw that it was the monkeys wearing masks, he was shocked.

"These monkeys seemed to be killed by something, and then hung here. There should be no danger. Let's go up and take a look!"

Chen Hao greeted the two of them and immediately climbed up quickly and came to the front of the monkey that was closest to him.

I used my hand to push the monkey's body and found that it was a mummy that had been dead for a long time.

He pulled the mask off from above, and then he found that what was hidden under the mask turned out to be a human face.

The mummy's facial expression is very ferocious, unlike a monkey, with a large amount of hair stuck on it, it is bare, with a big mouth wide open, and a lot of teeth falling off, which has obvious human characteristics.

"This... why is this a person? Didn't you say it's a monkey? Ah Hao, are you reading it wrong? The ones below are not monkeys but people?" Wu Xie asked in confusion.

Chen Hao said confidently: "It's absolutely right! Only monkeys can climb with such movements. Moreover, they have yellow hair all over their bodies, which is obviously monkeys. How can humans have that kind of long yellow hair all over their bodies?"

The reason for saying this is because he remembered the plot in the original work and learned that the corpse on it was indeed a human.

When the two of them heard what he said, they felt even more confused. Since the monkeys are below, why are there people here?

"Hey, no, this - what's under this mask - why is there a respirator?"

At this time, Lao Yang next to him pointed to the back of the mask and said, "He stood opposite him and happened to see the appearance behind the mask."

Chen Hao quickly turned the mask over and looked at it. As Lao Yang said, there was a protruding cavity like a snail shell on the mouth of the mask, and there was a small hole at the bottom of the cavity, which really looked like a respirator.

Thinking of the plot in the original work, he knew that there was a kind of ancient insect hidden in this mask that could control people's mind.

I don’t know what the hollow cavity is, it’s gray and white like a shell, as big as a fist. If you want to wear this thing on your face, you must open your mouth to put it on.

Lao Yangqi said, "This thing needs to be worn with a wide mouth, that's so uncomfortable, what's the use?"

"This kind of mask grows into the flesh, and its eyes and mouth are covered tightly. How do those monkeys eat and breathe? Is there something strange in the snail shell? Ah Hao, smash the snail shell open and see!" Wuxie said in surprise.

Chen Hao also felt that what he said made sense, so he used his hair to crush the snail's shell with his fingers.

After the snail shell was crushed, something like a crab's legs was revealed inside. When I pulled it out, I saw that the thing was actually a bug that I had never seen before. It was petrified and would break into several pieces with a slight touch.

Seeing this, Chen Hao knew that this was the kind of insect that could control people's mind.

Lao Yang took the mask and looked at it, and said with interest: "It seems that this insect should also be an old insect from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now it may have disappeared. No wonder we don't know each other. Hey? Look, this insect seems to be only half a piece of it?"

After saying that, he looked at Chen Hao and the others again and asked, "Then—where did the other half go?"

The bug is curled up in the snail shell, and the small hole below connects the person's mouth, so its range of movement is very limited.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at the mummy's mouth in one go. Sure enough, they saw half a crab-like insect attached to their tongue in the dark mouth of the mummy's mouth.

The dry insect body has been deep into the throat, and I don’t know what organ it has entered. Because it is very similar to the atrophic muscles of the mummy, if you don’t look carefully, you will think that the dry insect body is the tongue of the mummy.

At this moment!

The mask in Lao Yang's hand suddenly trembled, then jumped up from his hand, and suddenly rushed to his face!

Then, I saw the dry insect body on the mask's mouth. I didn't know when I came back to life and drilled into the old itchy mouth!

"Ah!... Save - Save - Help!" Lao Yang was startled and quickly broke the mask with his hands, almost falling from the bronze tree.

Chen Hao quickly jumped, jumped in front of Lao Yang and held him, quickly stretched out his hair and fingers, suddenly clamped the hollow part of the mask, and clamped out the crab-like insect.

As soon as the thing was touched by the itchy saliva, it quickly swelled, and its skin quickly filled with moisture, becoming snow-white and transparent, and it was somewhat similar to a silkworm. The end of the crab's legs was the insect's tentacles and suction cups.

The insect was very powerful, and after being clamped by Faqiu's fingers, it trembled desperately, trying to break free.

"Damn, how did this thing survive? It's almost turned into a fossil, why haven't it died yet?" Wuxie said in horror.

Chen Hao pretended not to know: "I don't know either. The vitality of this insect is too tenacious. It has been thousands of years since the Western Zhou Dynasty and now, but it is still alive."

He looked at the masks on the faces of other mummies and said, "There are still many masks here, and they are probably all alive. These should be ancient insects. After entering people's bodies, they can control their consciousness and movement. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here quickly!"

Everyone immediately planned to continue climbing up. Chen Hao looked up and saw that the area above was covered with dense masks!

Chen Hao held the two of them and said, "Don't move, there are more masks on it. It seems that we have to find other ways to go up!"

"What-what? There are more masks?" Lao Yang asked in confusion.

Their eyesight was not comparable to Chen Hao, so they naturally couldn't see clearly, and there were a large number of masks attached to the bronze giant tree.

Wuxie believed in what he said, and he said, "On the way, I heard from Master Liang that this straight well was dug up by man. There may be some ancient plank roads on the well wall for sightseeing. I will shoot a flare to see if there are any such plank roads. We can follow those plank roads all the way up!"

While speaking, Wuxie had already taken out the signal gun from his backpack and shot it in the air.
