Lin Baici felt that the two beams of light were intimidating, meant to scare humans and deceive them into believing that a person died suddenly due to the curse imposed by the pharaoh, rather than the bugs.
Although rule contamination was already incredible, these were physical bugs. Would bugs really be born inside the body just from being exposed to light?
Lin Baici still didn’t quite believe it.
[These insects are called Blood Flesh Sacred Beetles. They are bred through curses and mysterious herbs. They have two forms: a bug form and a mist form. When they land on a living being, they can enter the body through the pores.]
[They love to feed on the blood of living beings.]
[In ancient Egypt, pharaohs liked to use these cursed Blood Flesh Sacred Beetles to punish slaves and make mummies for burial purposes!]
The God Eater commented.
[Your judgment is correct. Those two beams of light are a kind of deception, making people think that death is due to a curse and ignoring the Blood Flesh Sacred Beetles inside their bodies!]
If this point is not discovered, then no matter how hard a divine hunter tries, it would be impossible to successfully survive and purify the rule contamination.
Lin Baici understood.
The scene was dimly lit, and with the black mist swirling around, it was not easy to notice even with other mists present. When Hua Yueyu subconsciously scratched her back, it was actually a slight stimulation caused by the mist form of the bugs entering their bodies.
At that time, Lin Baici asked Hua Yueyu, also somewhat wary, but the problem was, who could have thought that there were bugs that could turn into mist?
It seems that in the future, one must be more careful. In the God’s Ruins, no detail can be missed.
But knowing the cause of death is useless. Can’t just open the abdomen and take out the bugs, right?
[The Blood Flesh Sacred Beetles gradually transform from mist form to bug form inside the living being, then they start to feed on blood while secreting a toxin!]
[When this toxin reaches a certain dosage, the living being dies!][The healthier the living being, the longer the survival time!]
Lin Baici curled his lips. It seems that no matter what, having a healthy body is a good thing!
[These sacred beetles have reduced activity in low or high temperatures. If the temperature changes significantly, they will escape from the living being due to their survival instinct!]
When Lin Baici heard this, he immediately took out a large pile of firewood and charcoal from the black bowl in his backpack and piled them up into a small mountain.
Everyone was stunned.
“What’s with your backpack?”
The salesperson was shocked. How could such a small backpack fit so many things? If it were used for smuggling, wouldn’t it be profitable?
Because the black bowl was inside the backpack, the salesperson couldn’t see clearly, but this little trick couldn’t deceive the woman in red.
There must be a space-type divine taboo in that backpack!
A greedy look flashed in the woman in red’s eyes. A divine taboo that can hold so many things is definitely a priceless treasure. Its value for exploring the God’s Ruins is self-evident.
Supplies are a lifeline.
After pouring a bucket of gasoline on the pile of firewood, Lin Baici lit it. Boom!
The flames soared, casting an orange-red light and dispelling some of the darkness. “Come over and warm up by the fire!”
Lin Baici called out to Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen. The woman in red came over directly.
The crowd surged forward. Although they didn’t know why they had to get close to this bonfire, following Lin Baici couldn’t be wrong.
Bai Hetun squeezed in. He looked thin, but he was strong. With a push of his arms, he pushed the people in front of him aside.
“Squeeze a bit, make some room for me!”
“Give me a spot!”
“Move aside!”
Everyone wanted to warm up by the fire as soon as possible, but there were too many people, and crowding was inevitable. “You guys are shameless!”
Hua Yueyu looked at these people and retorted, “How did you treat Lin Baici just now? Do you have the face to come and warm up by the fire?”
The crowd felt embarrassed, but letting them leave was impossible.
Lin Baici didn’t drive them away. The main reason was that in the upcoming exploration process, he needed some cannon fodder. However, these people accusing him just now also made him feel a bit disappointed. He would never help them again. Let each person fend for themselves!
“Look, he’s standing up!” The hoodie guy exclaimed.
The burly man who was originally sitting on the steps of the pyramid stood up and stared in this direction, especially focusing on Lin Baici. Even though there was a mask between them, everyone could feel his intense desire to devour this boy.
“It seems that this mask’s control over these bugs is also limited, otherwise it could directly make the bugs inside everyone kill them.”
When Lin Baici saw that the burly man was helpless, he knew that this round of rule contamination should be broken. The bonfire burned brighter and hotter, making the surroundings hotter.
The heat from the flames made everyone uncomfortable, feeling like their skin was about to burn, but since Lin Baici didn’t move, they endured it as well.
One by one, they started sweating profusely.
Just as Lin Baici was considering whether to add more charcoal or gasoline, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, like the feeling of wanting to vomit when carsick.
Next to him, the expressions of Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen changed, and they both covered their stomachs with their hands. “How do you feel?”
Lin Baici patted the back of the female anchor. “I…”
Before Hua Yueyu could finish her sentence, she vomited a large pool of bright red blood, including a chestnut-sized bug.
As soon as it came into contact with the air, it seemed to panic, waving its eight abdominal feet non-stop, trying to crawl away. Lin Baici immediately took out a jar and covered the bug with it.
“It’s out!”
Hua Yueyu looked pleasantly surprised, but then she started to worry again. The bugs in Lin Baici and Jin Yingzhen’s stomachs hadn’t come out yet.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that Lin Baici’s method was effective, and they began to crowd around the bonfire. “Damn, don’t push!”
“You guys have been roasting for so long, give us some space in the back!”
“Get out of the way!”
Everyone wanted to warm up by the fire as soon as possible, but there were too many people, and crowding was inevitable. “You guys are shameless!”
Hua Yueyu looked at these people and retorted, “How did you treat Lin Baici just now? Do you have the face to come and warm up by the fire?”
The crowd felt embarrassed, but letting them leave was impossible.At this moment, who wouldn’t want to live?
Especially after seeing Hua Yueyu spit out a bug, everyone couldn’t wait to get the bug out of their own bodies.
So some people started cursing and pushing, and it looked like a fight was about to break out. “Shut up and stop! If anyone causes trouble, I will break their legs!” Lin Baici’s fierce gaze swept over these people.
The scene immediately fell silent.
The salesmen were like lambs encountering the king of beasts, they were scared and dared not even breathe, let alone argue.
After all, not only could they not beat Lin Baici, but they also relied on him to survive. So they could only speak from their hearts. “It’s great to be able to follow Xiaobai!”
Hua Yueyu looked at these people who didn’t even dare to make a sound, feeling extremely fortunate. If she didn’t know Lin Baici and was trapped in God’s Ruins, she would end up like this too!
Jin Yingzhen was anxious and rubbed her stomach forcefully. Suddenly, her stomach spasmed and a feeling of nausea arose, causing her to involuntarily retch. “Wow!”
Jin Yingzhen vomited a mouthful.
“Yingzhen, you have a good figure, and the bug in your stomach is big too!”
Now that they were temporarily safe, Hua Yueyu had the leisure to tease, but this sentence was somewhat self-deprecating. Looking at the Korean girl in tight jeans and low-cut sweater, she felt envious.
With this appearance, what other talent was needed? Just kill indiscriminately!
Hua Yueyu didn’t believe that any man’s weakness could resist her. “Oppa, thank you!”
Jin Yingzhen breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s rest first!”
Lin Baici acted quickly and put the bug that the Korean girl had vomited into a pottery jar. Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!
One by one, people started vomiting.
When they saw the big bug they vomited out, they were both scared and relieved. “Xiaobai, why haven’t you vomited yet?”
Hua Yueyu started to worry.
“Could it be because Oppa has a strong constitution?” Jin Yingzhen was also concerned.
Lin Baici saw that the girl in red and the young man had both vomited out bugs, but he only felt nauseous and had a slight urge to vomit.
“Big brother, that monster is trying to escape!” The man in the hoodie suddenly shouted.
On the side of the pyramid, the burly man wearing a golden mask took advantage of everyone being busy vomiting bugs and didn’t pay attention to him, planning to leave.
“Catch it!” Someone shouted.
About ten men had long been fed up with this guy. Now that they understood the truth behind the curse of death, they were no longer afraid of the golden mask and all rushed towards him. Grab it and give it to Lin Baici to increase their favorability.
After this crisis, anyone with a bit of brains understood that if they wanted to survive and leave this museum, they had to rely on Lin Baici.
Therefore, they would do everything possible to gain his recognition, agree to extend their thighs, and let him carry them.
These men ran very fast, and the burly man was injured and stumbled. He hadn’t run far before they caught up to him. Like raindrops, fists rained down on the burly man.
“Give it to me!” “I got it first!”
“Don’t fight, this is big brother’s spoils of war!”
The dozen or so men fought over it, and suddenly, the burly man’s chest burst open. Bang!
Blood, rotten flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere. What was even more terrifying was that a large number of flesh-eating scarab beetles crawled out of his chest and swarmed towards these men.
Because they were too close, the scarab beetles easily climbed onto their bodies. “Fuck!”
They were terrified and quickly dodged, using their hands to scrape off the scarab beetles on their bodies while trying to get away from this place. Thud!
The head with the golden mask fell to the ground, and the two gemstone eyes immediately emitted a dazzling light.
The men who were originally planning to escape immediately had their eyes turn red. They no longer cared about the scarab beetles on their bodies but started to fight and snatch the golden mask from each other.
[As long as they want to become superior beings and have dreamed of becoming an emperor, they will be influenced by this golden mask.]
[In their eyes, obtaining this mask means becoming a king!]
[At the same time, the curse attached to it, as well as the effect of hatching flesh-eating scarab beetles, whoever wears it will become a breeding ground.]
Lin Baici originally thought that this golden mask was awesome and could be used to deal with other divine hunters, but as soon as this comment came out, he immediately gave up.
Are you kidding me?
Whoever wears it will die, who dares to use it?
Look at that burly man, his chest has a big hole, like a nest, with hundreds of flesh-eating scarab beetles crawling out of it.
This scene is simply hair-raising!
Hua Yueyu kept rubbing her arms with her hands. She had a fear of crowds, and seeing this scene almost made her faint.
Bai Hetun and the girl in red originally wanted to snatch the golden mask, but when they saw this scene, they stopped in their tracks. Let’s wait a bit longer!
Lin Baici didn’t have time to care about the mask. He still hadn’t vomited out the bug in his stomach. “Isn’t this taking too long?”
Lin Baici was worried. There weren’t many people left who hadn’t vomited out bugs.
He took out a bottle of premium mineral water, rinsed his mouth, and just as he was about to reach out and clear his throat, the feeling of nausea finally reached its peak.
Urgh!
Lin Baici vomited out a puddle of dark red liquid, inside of which was a bug, very small, not even as big as a thumbnail.
He moved quickly to contain the bug, but the next second, he stopped. “Is it dead?”
The bug lay motionless in the liquid.
Bai Hetun and the girl in red exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other’s eyes.
They were also divine hunters, and the bugs in their bodies were no different from others. So why was the bug in Lin Baici’s body dead?
And it was so small?
“There must be something wrong with Lin Baici’s body!”
The girl in red’s face turned serious. It seemed that Lin Baici didn’t kill Hei Sha San Shi and the others by luck, but by his own strength.”Want to feast on a king at the top of the food chain? These wretched bugs don’t have such good taste!”
If these bugs had crawled into Lin Baici’s mouth, they would have been digested before they could damage his organs.
“The golden mask has no intention of escaping. It’s just manipulating the strong man, feigning weakness to lure you into pursuit!”
“Once you get close to it, your mind will be affected. Fortunately, those with strong willpower have strong resistance.”
A dozen people were fighting fiercely, with flesh-eating beetles crawling all over them. Some had even bitten through their skin and burrowed underneath, yet they felt nothing.
This horrifying and disgusting scene made everyone dare not approach. Lin Baici lit a pine torch and walked over.
After approaching two men who were wrestling with each other, he thrust the torch onto them. Boom!
The flames ignited instantly. Ah!
The two men screamed, and the beetles that had burrowed into their bodies sensed the danger of death and quickly crawled out.
However, as soon as they touched the flames on the surface of their bodies, they were ignited and burned to death, falling to the ground. These people are beyond saving!
The beetles had already damaged their organs, it would be better to die quickly.
Lin Baici set fire, and some bugs, under the control of the golden mask, tried to rush over and kill him, but Lin Baici waved his torch a few times and scared them off.
He didn’t want these things to escape from God’s Ruins. Who knows if they would become invasive species? So he suddenly accelerated and began to burn these bugs.
“That torch is amazing!”
Baihetun was envious. Wasn’t this guy a newbie? How did he have such good stuff?
Could it be that he was being kept by Xia Hongyao?
There were quite a few bugs, and it took Lin Baici a quarter of an hour to clean them up. He was worried that the dozen men would also become breeding grounds, so he burned them all to death.
The golden mask, shining brightly, fell into the ashes.
Looking at this divine taboo, Lin Baici had an impulse to wear it on his face. He didn’t dare to touch it with his hand, but used the torch to scrape it into a small wooden box. “After this God’s Ruins is over, I have to ask Xia Hongyao for a few black coffins!”
Carrying such a thing with him, Lin Baici felt a little uneasy. “Handsome guy, thank you!”
The woman in red came over and extended her right hand to Lin Baici: “My name is Song Huizhi, I’m a wild god hunter!”
“Lin Baici!”
Lin Baici gave a slight smile and lightly held Song Huizhi’s fingertips.
“Be careful, you’ve been targeted. She’s an extremely experienced god hunter and she has ill intentions towards you.”
“Are they people from the Lost Coast? Or the kind who happened to encounter and want to kill for treasure?” Lin Baici was already very wary of these two people. Hearing this comment, he was not surprised. The God Eater did not answer.
“Handsome guy, we owe you big time this time!”
Everyone was busy thanking him, their faces all wearing smiles of friendliness and respect. Even a fool wouldn’t dare to show Lin Baici a bad face at this moment.
“That golden mask could fetch quite a few meteor coins on the underground black market. If you need it, I have connections!”
When Song Huizhi said this, she was trying to lower Lin Baici’s guard: “Don’t worry, the channel fee will only be a symbolic little bit!”
“Okay, we’ll talk when we get out!”
Lin Baici also played along: “As long as the price is right, I have some other divine taboos I want to sell!” “Oh? Are you selling this torch?”
Song Huizhi looked excited.
“No, this is my life-saving trump card!”
Lin Baici shook his head, deliberately emphasizing the value of the torch, so as to make Song Huizhi overlook his other trump cards.
“Please let me know when you want to sell it!”
Song Huizhi looked regretful on the surface, but in her heart, she sneered, if you won’t sell, I can steal! “Okay!”
Lin Baici looked at everyone: “I’ll say it again, following me is very dangerous.” “Can’t we just find a place to wait for rescue?”
The hairpin girl was really scared.
“Do you feel nauseous and disgusting now?” Song Huizhi countered.
Many people nodded.
“There’s radiation pollution in God’s Ruins. If people stay too long, they’ll turn into dead meat people. We need to quickly collect the divine remains to get out.”
Song Huizhi explained: “Also, staying in place is just waiting for a slow death. But if we go out and take a chance, we might find meteorites and divine taboos. These are all good things!”
“With them, you can become a god hunter!”
In fact, a person needs to absorb divine grace to be considered a god hunter, but Song Huizhi couldn’t be bothered to explain in detail. Anyway, these words were just to tempt these people to act together.
If it weren’t for Lin Baici’s presence, Song Huizhi would have reined in her cruelty. She wouldn’t bother to talk so much and would directly use violence to drive these people.
“Let’s all go together, it’s safer with Lin handsome guy!” The sales guy urged.
He wanted to be with Lin Baici. He wanted to become a god hunter, but if it was just him, he might be used as cannon fodder, so he wanted everyone to follow.
With more people, he wouldn’t be the one to be cannon fodder.
This is the difference between people. Like the hairpin girl, she was still confused and didn’t know what to do, while the sales guy was already planning for the future.
Lin Baici, relying on his hunger radar, explored God’s Ruins.
The original layout of the museum had long since changed, which once again showed the sales guy and his group the mysterious and terrifying side of God’s Ruins.
From time to time, they could see some corpses, their deaths in all sorts of strange ways.
“There was a rule pollution here half an hour ago, and there’s a smell of divine grace!” Lin Baici frowned. How many god hunters were there in this museum?
He continued to move forward, and after not going far, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
