Tomb Raider Live: Gain Qilin blood at the beginning

However, whether it is Lop Nur or the ancient country of Loulan, there are still many mysteries that have not yet been solved.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a place is no safer than an ancient tomb.

The Laughing Buddha raised his head, and asked calmly, "You should have heard of the theory that all things generate and restrain each other, right?"

"Where there are mice, there will be snakes."

"Where there are snakes, there will be eagles."

"From an ecological point of view, this is called a biological chain."

"But according to tradition, this is mutual generation and mutual restraint."

"If a certain kind of creature is in a state of balance in an area, it proves that there must be its natural enemies nearby."

"The same is true for the zombies behind me."

Speaking of this, the Laughing Buddha finally began to explain the reason: "Actually, the reason why the Bronze Tree was able to find these bugs is also due to chance and coincidence."

"At that time, Bronze Tree was going to explore the ancient tombs near the Loulan site, but unexpectedly discovered several special corpses."

Lin You frowned: "A special corpse?"

"That's right, those corpses are called 'screaming corpses', because before they died, they opened their mouths wide, as if they were screaming in pain."

The Laughing Buddha said in a deep voice, "These corpses look extremely strange."

"However, the weirder things are yet to come."

"After the group of tomb robbers who explored the ancient tombs went back, all of them began to have this kind of black and purple markings on their bodies, which looked like corpse spots!"

"They tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't get rid of these plaques, and they even went to the hospital."

"However, even doctors have never seen such a disease, and there is nothing they can do."

"In the end...the group of tomb robbers died in pain one after another. At the last moment of their lives, their bodies were completely festered."

"If it was in the feudal era, people might still superstitiously think that it was the curse of the ancient Loulan. After all, people always like to use theology to explain everything that cannot be explained by science."

Hearing this, Lin You couldn't help laughing.

It is indeed a common human problem to use theology to explain everything that one does not understand.

"Fortunately, there are still many capable people in the Bronze Tree organization."

The Laughing Buddha said calmly: "So, it didn't take long before the real reason was found out."

"This is not the curse of ancient Loulan at all, but a special kind of scavengers."

"This kind of bug will live in the corpse of a human being, and after corrupting the flesh and blood, it will eat the flesh and blood for a living."

"Furthermore, this kind of bug has extremely strong survival ability, and it will enter a state of deep sleep and dormancy when there is no food."

Lin You finally came to his senses: "So, the group of tomb robbers whose bodies rotted and died was precisely because they touched those corpses, so that the revived corpse insects burrowed into their bodies?"

The Laughing Buddha nodded: "Exactly."

"These bugs are so tiny that they can't even be seen with the naked eye, and they can easily crawl into them along your pores."

"In this way, it naturally becomes an invisible curse."

Hearing this, Lin You couldn't help but shudder.

These corpse insects were even weirder than he had imagined.

Although Zongzi is ferocious and terrifying, it is still visible and tangible.

But these corpse insects cannot be seen with the naked eye, and they are all-pervasive.

Once in contact with a dead body, the bugs can burrow into you.

Afterwards, the Laughing Buddha spoke again: "However, as I told you before, all things in this world cannot do without mutual generation and mutual restraint."

"Although these corpse insects are weird, they are not without restraint."

"The Bronze Tree organization once again sent people into the Loulan ruins, and found some special purple flowers around the corpses."

"Although these purple flowers grow near the corpse, they are not contaminated with the smell of corpses at all, but exude a faint fragrance."

"It is precisely because of this that the Bronze Organization named it 'Purple Nether Corpse Flower'."

"Facts have proved that these purple flowers have a strong restraint effect on carrion insects."

"Under the microscope, these carrion insects will scatter and flee as soon as they smell the purple ghost corpse flower."

"If it is contaminated with the juice of the purple corpse flower, it will die on the spot!"

Lin You finally understood the intention of the Laughing Buddha, and said in a low voice, "So, you want me to accompany you to the ruins of your ancient Loulan kingdom to pick these Ziyou Corpse Flowers?"

"Yes."

The Laughing Buddha readily admitted it.

Lin You frowned, but her eyes couldn't help showing a bit of surprise: "Since your companions are all dead, why didn't you think of going to the Loulan site to pick flowers to save your life?"

The Laughing Buddha sighed, and said helplessly, "Do you think we don't want to?"

"This purple corpse flower is extremely special, as long as it is picked, it will wither immediately."

"Even if the soil is wrapped around the root system and excavated together, it will wither completely before leaving Lop Nur and lose its restraint effect on corpse insects."

Lin You pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Then you and your brother didn't think about it, and just lay down on the ground and gnawed at the flowers?"

"In this way, as long as you don't pick the flowers, you don't have to worry about the flowers wilting..."

The corner of Laughing Buddha's mouth twitched violently: "Brother, you really are a little genius..."

Chapter 129 Bronze Tree Leader

Afterwards, the smiling Buddha said helplessly, "This method is actually ineffective."

"Although the purple corpse flower can restrain these carrion insects, if it is swallowed directly, it will not exert much effect."

"These carrion worms will first hide in a corner of your body, and will not return to your blood until the effect of the Purple Nether Corpse Flower has completely passed."

"So, if you want to completely kill these rotting corpse insects, you must pick the purple corpse flower, grind it into juice, extract the juice, supplement it with other medicines, and inject it into the body together, so that it can really work."

Speaking of this, the smiling Buddha changed his subject: "That's why I came to you."
