Chapter 314: Insect-Devouring Heaven Pit
After obtaining this news.
Everyone's mood relaxed a lot.
Before these black bamboo slips appeared, everyone was actually a bit lost.
In the Fudi, you don't fear danger on the road ahead, because there is danger everywhere in the Fudi. What truly makes people afraid is not knowing where to go.
With a clear route.
Even if there are many dangers on the road, you can always continue walking.
Waited for another period of time.
The pitch-black clouds climbed onto the bright and round moon, covering the brilliance emitted by the moon.
After everyone tested it with the old method, they carefully pushed open the door.
This opening of the door...
Wow! Outside, it was even a bit dazzling!
Only to see red candlelight everywhere in the center of the village, and every two rays of candlelight corresponded to a divine statue! Wu Xian's mouth curled up.
Made a fortune!
Simply counting, there were twenty-two divine statues outside.
If every moonlight monster dropped two divine statues, then Wu Xian had killed at least eleven moonlight monsters by throwing the boomerang twice just now.
In addition, some flowers were scattered on the ground. These flowers were all excellent offerings.
What made everyone a bit disappointed was that they didn't see the bodies of the dogs on the ground, only large areas of bright red bloodstains on the ground. Thinking about it, they should have all been eaten by the moonlight monsters. Otherwise, the bodies of those wild dogs could also serve as rations for a period of time.
After simply checking the battlefield.
Everyone didn't worship the gods for the first time.
Instead, they moved all the divine statues, flowers, and other items to the main house. The moonlight might appear at any time. Worshipping the gods outside was too dangerous, and how to distribute this worship opportunity also had a say.
After moving the divine statues.
Wu Xian looked up at the sky and found that there was still some time, so everyone held an oil lamp and came to the side of the big pit.
At a glance.
This big pit looked no different from the daytime.
But Ran Huang Tian took a deep breath and said: "It's very smelly here... there's the smell of insects."
Reminded by him.
Everyone noticed that from inside the big pit, there was a rustling sound, as if something tiny was crawling, and there were very, very many of these tiny things!
Wu Xian bent down, letting the candlelight shine on the ground, and the vision became much clearer.
"Hiss..."
"Ah!"
Du E let out a light cry, only feeling her scalp tingle, and countless goosebumps rose on her body. She ran from the front of the crowd to the back in a small run, hugging Jian Lingyu's arm and hiding.
The men also showed difficult expressions.
After the candlelight shone on the ground, they could actually see countless small creatures rushing toward this big pit one after another.
Spiders, scorpions, centipedes, mole crickets, locusts, house centipedes, millipedes, woodlice, large ants...
These things didn't crawl fast, so there wasn't much sound. Most of them crawled from the direction outside the village, so Wu Xian and the others didn't step on them when they walked over.
Wei Qinglan ran onto her brother's back. This girl was also one who had experienced life-and-death fighting, but she still couldn't stand such a scene.
"Do we really have to go down... it's too terrifying."
The drifter Li Juxian's tone was relaxed: "These insects are focused on crawling down, they shouldn't have time to bite us... oh, I see several blister beetles, that thing hurts to death if you touch it."
Wen Chao wiped his sweat: "These insects only crawl here at night, we can just go down during the day."
Even Wu Xian couldn't hold it.
"Insects crawl in at night, and it's not certain they will crawl out during the day. It's not certain that the big pit during the day is full of insects..."
However, the behavior of these insects solved the doubt in Wu Xian's heart. Before, he had been thinking, since there were very few birds in this world, the number of insects should have exploded. But in reality, even the number of insects wasn't large.
Looking at it this way.
All the insects had actually crawled into this big pit.
There wasn't only No-Burial Village and the Undying City that lost funerals, so such big pits were likely not just one, but countless...
Seeing everyone's unpromising appearance facing the insect nest, Jian Lingyu rolled her eyes, pushed away Du E's hand, walked to the front, and lay on the ground to listen to the sound from underground in the admiring gaze of a group of men.
A few seconds later, she stood up.
"I don't know what you are all afraid of... judging from the sound, there should be something underground that feeds on these insects. This insect nest is just a meal for that thing."
"In addition... these insects are simply a gift from heaven!"
Rip!
Jian Lingyu tore off a large piece of her skirt, folded the skirt into a package shape with ease, and then picked and chose in the insect swarm, catching several fierce poisonous insects into it with a small stick.
At this time, Jian Lingyu's skirt was already tattered, and inside was a relatively tight leather suit.
Looking at her squatting and catching insects.
Wu Xian opened his mouth, thought for a long time without knowing what to say, and could only let out a forlorn sigh.
"A heroine among women..."
After returning from the big pit.
Everyone's high mood fell again.
It seemed that wanting to transport the coffins to the underground really wasn't as simple as imagined. There were three difficulties to overcome.
One was insects.
The other was the inevitably existing malevolent entity that devoured insects.
The last difficulty had the lowest degree of danger, but it was also the most realistic and hardest to cross... this big pit had already been filled. If they wanted to transport the coffins down, they needed to dig out all the coffins and urns in the big pit.
Don't know how deep the big pit was.
Even if they were given an excavator, this kind of work wouldn't be easy to do, not to mention that they only had a rotten iron shovel searched from the village in their hands...
Everyone discussed for a while without coming up with a way.
Wu Xian patted his face: "Don't think about it first. There will be a way when the car reaches the mountain. Let's divide the spoils first, and then have a good rest. We'll think about tomorrow's things tomorrow. Staying up too late will only waste tomorrow's time."
When it came to dividing the spoils.
Everyone became active. After some discussion, the distribution plan was released.
First was the flowers.
There were thirteen flowers in total. These flowers were all the same, so everyone took one except Wei Qinglan.
The remaining four flowers might have a role, so they were temporarily kept by Jian Lingyu and could be taken out for use when needed.
Regarding the divine statues.
There were twenty-two in total.
Among them, there was a Treasure-level Heavenly Official - Kui Star Official Salary Main Divine Statue with a silver base, which meant that among the moonlight monsters they killed, there was a relatively higher-level guy.
Wu Xian had three worship opportunities, one Treasure, two Common.
Li Juxian obtained three opportunities because he faced danger directly with the Samadhi Divine Wind.
Su Xuan obtained three opportunities because he had merit in cracking the mystery of the black bamboo slips.
Jian Lingyu obtained three opportunities because of the merit of healing everyone and providing assistance.
Jiang Chun didn't participate in the whole process, so she had no share in all the worship.
The rest of the people also had contributions in the operation, but they could only each obtain two worship opportunities...
