Chapter 1408 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 8
"Human candlelight?"
Suddenly, Chen Yuansheng seemed to remember something, "I remember a while ago, a tomb was discovered in Xiangnan, and there were also these corpse cocoons inside. Later, for some reason, they all died."
"Because this cocoon is highly poisonous."
Shu Jiao pointed to the "silk" wrapped around the corpse, "This is spider silk, produced by the Purple Beauty Spider. The spider silk is sharp and contains neurotoxins, which can kill in three minutes."
"The purple beauty spider likes to lay its eggs inside the human body, and then eats the eggs after they hatch into spiderlings."
Purple Beauty Spider?
never heard of that.
A group of people looked at Shu Jiao with confused expressions.
"Lay eggs, hatch them, and then eat them?"
Chen Yuansheng asked incredulously, "How can such a creature exist? Self-sufficient?"
"Purple Beauty Spider? There is no such thing as a spider among existing species."
The accompanying biology professor frowned, but his eyes held a hint of excitement and eagerness, as if he desperately wanted to get his hands on a live specimen for research.
"They were specially trained."
Shu Jiao explained.
"Is it a poison?"
Chi Yu asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Yes."
Shu Jiao nodded slightly, "Touching the silk of the Purple Beauty Spider could very likely result in being parasitized and becoming a living culture dish. Moreover, the Purple Beauty Spider can control the human body through its internal silk."
What the heck?
Manipulation?
parasitic?
Petri dish?
As soon as the name Shu Jiao came out, the members of the archaeological team who originally wanted to study the human cocoon immediately moved a good distance away from it.
"In that case..."
Chi Yu's gaze swept over the group of humanoid cocoons in front of her. "There might be quite a few insect eggs inside these cocoons? And if the Purple Beauty Spider is not dead, it means they can control these humanoid cocoons to attack us?"
"answer."
Shu Jiao snapped her fingers, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "My little Yu Yu is so clever."
Chi Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What kind of intelligence is that?
Turning my head, I saw the tightly closed stone door. Through the door, I could even hear the sounds of the skeletal insects crawling on it.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, with wolves in front and tigers behind. A real dilemma.
"Don't touch these things, find the mechanisms leading to other tomb chambers."
Chen Yuansheng said.
After saying that, he looked at Shu Jiao with great appreciation, "Shu Jiao, I didn't realize you came from such a family with such a strong academic background. Have you ever thought about coming back to me to pursue a doctorate?"
"Pshaw, what family tradition? My family just runs an antique business and knows a little bit about it."
Shu Jiao waved her hand.
As they were talking, there was a sudden "click".
Following the sound, a human-shaped cocoon hanging upside down fell to the ground, along with a bronze lamp. Soon, a rustling sound came from inside the cocoon.
The jet-black spider silk on top also began to tremble.
It was obvious at a glance that the things inside had been disturbed and were restless.
"Clap."
Instantly, bullets were chambered, and the protection personnel gripped their guns with one hand while pulling the archaeologists behind them with the other, watching the human-shaped cocoon that seemed about to explode with extreme vigilance.
Soon, a purple spider the size of a fist crawled out of the hole on the top of its head.
People were able to see what it looked like.
Its entire body is a deep purple, and the white spots covering its back outline a beautiful face. There is even a red dot between the eyebrows of the beautiful face, no wonder it is called the Beauty Spider.
But that's not the key point.
The key is!
It's out!
The purple spider in front of it didn't know what to do, but then it saw that the human-shaped cocoons strung together by iron chains also began to stir, and the iron chains made a piercing sound.
"Clap."
"Clap!"
The upside-down human-shaped cocoons began to fall off one by one.
The black spider silk that had been wrapped around its body disappeared inch by inch, as if it had been eaten away, revealing the corpse underneath. Then, as if its limbs were untamed, it strangely and awkwardly got up from the ground and walked towards them.
On the humanoid cocoons that were locked up, black spider silk flowed along the iron chains and wrapped around the coffins on the high platform like a tide.
Chi Yu gripped Shu Jiao's hand tightly, instinctively wanting to protect her behind her, just like in the past when they were in practical classes.
The archaeological team members kept their eyes fixed on the corpse.
Torn clothes, rotting flesh and blood, and black bones exposed in some places.
My brain reflexively starts thinking about the knowledge I've learned.
"This kind of clothing pattern doesn't seem to have appeared before in history."
"Why are the bones black? Is it spider venom? Or is it stained by specially refined lamp oil?"
"Strange, they still have intact flesh on their bodies?"
Netizens: !!!
Run!
[This thing is controlled by the Purple Beauty Spider. Will the gun even work?]
Who changed the game to Zombie Apocalypse for me?
【Ahhhhhh, I'm not kidding, I'm so scared I'm kneeling!】
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
After a burst of gunfire, forty-eight corpses, riddled with holes, continued to walk resolutely toward them.
"Strike the Guanyuan acupoint, located three inches below the midline of the navel."
Amidst the gunshots, Shu Jiao's languid yet alluring voice rang out.
"boom!"
The protection staff instinctively followed her advice.
The body that had been hit fell to the ground and stopped moving.
it works!
The guards were pleasantly surprised and quickly aimed at the remaining corpses, shooting them one by one, thus quickly resolving the current predicament.
Chi Yu turned her head and looked at Shu Jiao with a slightly confused expression.
"That's where the Purple Beauty Spider lives."
Shu Jiao explained, a slight smile playing on her lips, "My darling Yu Yu, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Chi Yu: "Good news."
"The good news is that we're lucky; it's not the egg-laying season for the Purple Beauty Spider, so we won't be facing a large swarm of deadly Purple Beauty Spiders."
"And the bad news?"
"Bad news~"
Shu Jiao's gaze fell on the coffin covered in spider silk. "The big one is about to come out."
Big?
Following her gaze, everyone looked at the coffin.
"These humanoid cocoons were all nailed down,"
Shu Jiao pointed with her fan at the human-shaped cocoon that was nailed in place, "Guess why?"
Ok……
I don't really want to guess.
As the group looked at the chains and the coffin, they all had some guesses in their minds.
"support."
Chi Yu took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words.
"Correct."
Shu Jiao nodded. "It's about providing for them."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a loud crash, the lid of the dark wooden coffin was overturned, and a corpse that looked like a living person sat up abruptly.
“Nrauj…Nrauj…”
It opened its mouth.
His voice was hoarse and dry, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time, with an indescribable, gritty, and eerie quality.
"Let...in?"
The archaeological team struggled to analyze its tone, wondering, "What does this mean?"
[No? The corpse can talk?]
【Oh my god! Mommy, it's a ghost!】
This is truly eye-opening; is this the first time an archaeologist has unearthed a talking corpse?
[Resurrected from the dead? ???]
The viewers in the live stream really had no idea what was going on.
Even the archaeologists didn't know.
They stared at the talking corpse, trembling, wishing they could hug themselves tightly and scream, "Help!"
