Chapter 13 The Wild of Silkworms 1

I can now roughly deduce the structure of the entire Osi Wilderness. I just landed from Huang Zhong's Tomb on the first floor between Osi Country and Huang Zhong's Tomb. It can be said to be the breeding house of humanoid silkworms.

These boxes are connected below the golden nanmu coffins. After the humanoid silkworm chrysalis spins its cocoon in the coffin box, it will fall directly into these transparent boxes until it emerges from the cocoon and turns into a moth.

But what puzzles me is how I ended up in those hanging boxes and was trapped in the silkworm chrysalis even though I was in the city of Wusi Kingdom before.

The man-moth flew me all the way into the city, but it remained unaccounted for and continued deep into the city.

When Shang Qingyun and I entered the national city of Osi, I just thought it was very big, but when I really looked down at the capital from the air, I realized that this place can be said to be an epic map.

Even the maps in fantasy online games are not so big and exaggerated.

And when we were on the ground, we didn't see it. There was an extremely huge mulberry tree located north of the capital city. This mulberry tree was at least several hundred meters high. It towered up to the sky, and its crown reached straight into the sky, supporting the gauze on its top.

I really can't explain this scientifically. From this point of view, we are now hundreds of meters deep underground, but it looks no different from the ground here. There is oxygen and humidity, so survival is no problem.

The human moth took me all the way to the giant tree. I took advantage of the opportunity to let go of the human moth, then grabbed the branch, turned over and sat on the branch.

The width of the tree branch is also as wide as the bridge deck, which is more than enough to walk up.

I looked around and saw that the human moth that had just brought me here flew higher.

And if you look up casually, you can see countless human moths, sitting on their knees on the branches, facing the trunk, their huge wings covering their bodies.

I crawled forward and took a close look at the human moth sitting on the adjacent branch.

There was a pile of mulberry leaves in front of it. From time to time, it took some out and stuffed them into its mouth to chew. Then, like a cow chewing cud, it spit out milky white threads. It also made a retching sound... which made me feel sick.

Is this the content of the Wilderness of European Silk in the Classic of Mountains and Seas mentioned by Er Pang?

So that means this tree is the legendary Sanmulus tree?

I looked up at the towering tree trunk. When I came here, I remembered that I should be in the upper middle of the tree. If the legend is true, then the woman who founded the Osi Kingdom should be at the top of the tree crown.

That piece of horsehide must have been buried with it.

But how should I climb the tree trunk now?

While thinking about the solution, I walked along the branches towards the trunk.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw someone in front of me.

It doesn't look like a human moth either. It's wearing dark green clothes and is leaning against a tree trunk.

I approached cautiously, and when I got closer, I found that it was a corpse that had been dead for a long time. There were bones and skeletons under the clothes. The clothes on the body were dark green military uniforms, and the serial number was written on the nameplate on the chest:

Unit 4811, Sixth Corps of the Army, Ninth Theater of Central China

Mo Qiaoyu, commander of the 8th Platoon of the 7th Battalion

He looked like an official, why did he die here?

I saw him holding a backpack tightly in his arms, and it took a lot of effort to open his hand and take out the backpack.

I tried it and the zipper of this backpack still works.

So he unzipped his backpack.

"Ouch!"

I just opened my backpack and something suddenly moved in it!

A human head jumped out of the bag!

Opening its mouth full of fangs, it pounced on me!

!!

I was shocked and sat back, and at the same time, I reflexively used my left hand to block the situation in front of me.

That human-headed mouth with a sucker-like mouth bit my left hand! Its blood-red compound eyes stared at me!

The sharp fangs pierced the flesh, and the man paused for a moment after biting his head.

Then his eyes widened and his expression became distorted.

In the blink of an eye, it was like a deflated rubber ball, deflating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, he shrank into a dry ball and dropped his mouth.

I looked down at the place where the man-moth had bitten his head, and found that it was exactly where the insect had bitten the tiger's mouth, and there was black liquid flowing out of the wound.

Previously, I was only focused on escaping and didn't notice the changes on my body. Now when I paid attention to the wounds, I found that except for my left hand, all the skin on my body had changed.

Tiny white hairs have grown, as well as circles that look like psoriasis. The color is exactly the same as the round spots on the wings of human moths. They are dense and disgusting. If you have trypophobia, you will probably be scared to death on the spot.

Seeing this, I felt even more itchy on my body.

A sense of fear arises in my heart.

Is it because of that cocoon?! Am I going to turn into a human moth too?!

The more I think about it, the more scared I become.

I was so sick that I rushed to the doctor. I searched for the backpack like crazy, hoping to find some clues to a cure.

Thinking about it later, this was also nonsense. Since the man named Mo Qiaoyu died here, how could there be a cure?

From that backpack, I found an old-fashioned Mauser pistol and a very sharp-looking dagger. In addition, there were a notebook, a letter and a pendant whose shape looked somewhat familiar.

The first thing that caught my attention was actually the pendant. The shape of this pendant is slightly similar to the one that Senior Liu Sa gave me. It is also a glyph pendant, but the font is older than the Xiaozhuan script of Chu State. Chu State

The inscription is a type of glyph unique to the pre-Qin culture. It was derived from the writing of the Western Zhou Dynasty and is slightly different.

I can probably recognize that the glyph of this pendant is "Mo", which should be the surname in Mocho language.

Liu Sa and Mo Qiaoyu both have similar pendants. Could it be that there is some connection between the two of them?

I put the pendant in my pocket, then sat on the spot and read my diary and letters. At the end, I prayed to the deceased Senior Mo, hoping that he would not blame me.

This letter is a family letter, written to the Mocho family.

I had some words of greeting in my heart, but also mentioned that they went deep into the ancient tomb. Combining what I said in my notes, I was able to roughly restore what happened to them back then.

Decades ago, Mo Qiaoyu's regiment came to station near Danjiang.

One day, heavy rain poured down, the Danjiang River burst its banks, and flash floods broke out. To avoid the disaster, the Corps moved here.

After a certain mudslide, a corner of a huge palace appeared on the mountain, and at the same time they found the body of the human moth in the ruins of the mudslide.

The commander of the 7th Battalion of the 4811 Corps is a veteran. It is said that when he was 15 years old, he followed Sun Dianying to steal the Cixi Mausoleum.

He is a man who is greedy for money and acts boldly, and he is also an experienced tomb robber.

In order to prevent him from stealing the national treasure from the mausoleum, Mo Qiaoyu volunteered to follow him and sneak into the mausoleum. There was a Taoist priest who went to the tomb with them.

After entering the tomb, they discovered that there was actually a seven-fold tomb underneath!

The first level of the tomb was the place where the famous general Huang Zhong was buried. The Taoist judged that Huang Zhong's tomb was located here to suppress something below, so he urged his return.

But the veteran didn't agree, so the Taoist priest and Mo Qiaoyu hit it off and assassinated him in the main hall of Huang Zhong's tomb.

With the help of the Taoist priest, they easily reached the main tomb chamber and saw the passage under the hanging coffin from the general ordering platform.

The Taoist priests used a trick to trap everyone in the main hall, and set up various strange Dunjia traps, killing all those who entered the tomb one after another.

He also used the corpses of the veteran and others as a medium to set up the Five Elements Formation, so that none of the subsequent tomb robbers could leave alive.

Just as Mo Qiaoyu, the Taoist priest and several other surviving soldiers were about to leave, there was a sudden movement in the main hall of Huang Zhong's tomb, and the soldiers of Tuifeng Battalion began to show signs of corpse transformation.

The Taoist priest deduced that something must have happened to the things suppressed under Huang Zhong's tomb, so he decided to go deep into Qiqiaoyu's tomb with Mo Qiaoyu.

They encountered the same problems as us on the second floor, and they all relied on the Taoist priest to solve them one by one.

Finally, they found the way to the Kingdom of Osi under the golden nanmu coffin box. They entered the box along the slide made of silk threads, then awakened the human moth and took them to fly directly into the city.

In the capital city of Ossi, they were attacked by a large number of insects. These insects, called insects, could possess dead bodies and also cause them to experience hallucinations.

Here they were almost completely wiped out. The few soldiers who survived Huang Zhong's tomb were all controlled by Xie Chong. Xie Chong could also call the human moth and take these controlled soldiers into the box. In less than a day, these people all became

The human moth.

Mo Qiaoyu and the Taoist priest got separated during their escape. He came to the Sansang Sacred Tree, and in a trance, Mo Qiaoyu seemed to see a beautiful woman calling him on the tree.

The confused Mo Qiaoyu climbed onto the Sanmulus tree without knowing why.

However, the only thing waiting for him here was the Human Moth who wanted to prey on him. After a hard fight, Mo Qiaoyu narrowly won. He cut off the Human Moth's head and put it in his backpack, intending to take it back to donate and get some rewards.

Military rank.

But when he turned around, he saw the Taoist priest shooting at him——

When he was dying, Mo Qiaoyu wrote a suicide note, hoping that if future generations see this suicide note, they can bring it to his family.

Moreover, he also wrote a sentence at the end of the note:

"Be careful Li Minghe."

When I saw this sentence, my mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

This is the second time I've seen this name in someone's notes.

However, I believe that no one in the world is more familiar with this name than me except my parents.

Li Minghe.

It's my grandfather.

I remember that during the war, my grandfather and his family were deeply affected and the family moved away. My grandfather was less than a year old at the time. On the way, he encountered bandits and robbed him, and the family became separated.

My grandfather was rescued by a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain and became a disciple.

Many years later, the world was at peace. My grandfather was ordered by his master to go down the mountain. He married an ordinary woman at the foot of the mountain and had a child. That was my grandmother, and the child he gave birth to was my father.

But these are all things of the past.
