Chapter 53: Corpse Silkworm King

  Zha Wenbin narrowed his eyes and asked back, "Are you sure you can rush out before those bugs surround you with someone on your back?"

  Chaozi looked around at the solid stone walls and said, "Well wait here, even if were not eaten by insects, well starve to death. From here, rushing over is just a hundred meters away from the other side of the water pool, anyway, its all death, why dont we try?"

  Cha Wenbin turned around and asked Zhuo Xiong: "Zhuo Xiong brother, whats your take on this?"

  "My intention is the same as Chaozis, rather than waiting for death, its better to give it a try!"

  These two young people are really bold, since theyre not afraid, whats there to be afraid of! Cha Wenbin made a bowing motion and asked in a low voice "Are you ready?"

  Zhuo Xiong and Chao Zi immediately struck a pose of 100-meter sprint, "Run!" Cha Wenbin suddenly shouted, then took an arrow step down from the stone block and jumped into the original position of the water pool. The super son and Zhuo Xiong behind him, carrying the unconscious Lao Wang and Leng Yiran, followed closely and jumped down.

  Those "dead silkworms" were apparently startled by these uninvited guests, and with a sudden "hiss", they swarmed towards the people in the middle like a tide, dont look at those plump insects, but their crawling speed was very fast.

  Here is the translation:

  From the moment he jumped down, Cha Wenbin didnt plan to look back. Human potential was fully unleashed in the most critical moment, and like a gust of wind, he was the first to rush past the water pool and arrived at the position where Old Wang had been lying earlier. Next was Chao Zi carrying Leng Yiran on his back. The two turned their heads to see Zhuo Xiong carrying the heaviest Old Wang lagging behind, with several bugs quickly approaching, one of which had already prepared to attack. Chao Zi raised his hand and fired a shot, "Boom!" A shotgun blast swept away a bunch of "corpse silkworms", splashing bug juice all over Zhuo Xiongs clothes. Without hesitation, he ejected the shell, reloaded, and with another gunshot, another group of bugs was swept away. With a sense of guilt towards their squad leader, Chao Zi vented all his anger on these "corpse silkworms". When the third bullet was loaded, Zhuo Xiong had already been pulled over by Cha Wenbin, and the group following behind him happened to be right in front of Chao Zis gun. The powerful hunting rifle bullet, at close range, directly blasted those unlucky "corpse silkworms" into mush.

  The remaining insects apparently felt threatened by this modern weapon attack, the pursuing insect swarm paused for a moment, and then rushed towards them again...

  Chaozis fourth bullet is ready, they didnt bring much ammunition this time, only about twenty per person. Now isnt the time to be frugal. Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong fired at the same time towards the swarming "Corpse Silkworms", wave after wave of them were killed, but new ones kept coming, seemingly endless.

  Chaozi patted the bullet belt hanging from his waist after firing another shot and smiled bitterly, "I still have two left."

  Zhuo Xiong raised his hand and shot another group of "corpse silkworms". "Haha, I still have three left, one more than you!"

  "Wheres Cha Wenbin? Wielding the Seven-Star Sword, he took down one or two lone corpse silkworms that charged over. He clearly knew that this wouldnt last long. Looking at the endless darkness behind him, he said: "Prepare to retreat!"

  The last bullet was fired, Chaozi and Zhuo Xiong exchanged a glance, and slowly began to retreat backwards, suddenly leaning against the nearest group of insects to retreat, and the lone one that was only a step away from Zha Wenbin also turned around and crawled back.

  Zhuo Xiong looked at those "dead silkworms" crawling back and forth, and burst out laughing at Chao Zi: "Even the worms know to fear the gun in my hand?"

  "Haha, they ran away! Theyre gone! Wenbin brother, those bugs were chased away by us!"

  Zha Wenbin was already drenched with sweat on his back, and at this moment he was panting while holding his sword. He was also puzzled, why did the "Corpse Silkworm" which had such a strong attacking power give up?

  "Good heavens!" Chao Tzu suddenly exclaimed. "Quick! Look! Whats that?"

  Look up, the insects that were originally chased out are now retreating to one side, with their heads raised, in the same posture as before. A giant "dead silkworm" is crawling along the silk thread spun by the insects from the ground to the top of the cliff!

  This "dead silkworm" is different from all the others, the ones just now were white in color, but this one not only has a body several times larger than theirs, but also has a yellow color with flower patterns on its back! Its called a "dead silkworm" because the pair of mandibles on its mouth are still very obvious, but when opened, theyre as big as the large pruning shears we use to trim tree branches. The whole "dead silkworm" looks more like a python! Its about two meters long and has a diameter of about twenty centimeters.

  "Zha Wenbin muttered: This should be the Corpse Silkworm King!"

  Chao Zi raised his gun and was about to shoot, but Cha Wenbin stopped him with one hand. "Dont move, lets see what it wants to do!"

  Only to see that yellow "Corpse Silkworm King" following the silk thread, it climbed to the top of the cliff in a short while, waving its pincers excitedly and poking its head out. Before long, its body drilled upwards and disappeared from everyones sight. The "Corpse Silkworms" below were still in their previous posture, as if waiting for something.

  Cha Wenbin thought to himself, "Setting up such a big formation cant be just because of one little bug, now that Im here, I need to get to the bottom of this and see whats going on. Even if I want to retreat later, Ill have a way out."

  They could clearly hear a faint and scattered sound, followed by a huge black shadow falling from the top of the cliff. "Boom"

  With a loud crash, a massive bronze coffin lid fell to the ground, shattering many rocks below!

  "Is that a coffin lid?" Chaozi shouted.

  Zha Wenbin covered his mouth with one hand and whispered: "Dont be in a hurry, wait and see, it seems that there is still a coffin on top!"

  Chaozi gritted his teeth and muttered, "These tomb raiders are actually causing trouble here! Wenbin brother, how did we not discover that there was another one up there?"

  "The eight trigrams give birth to the nine palaces, everything returns to the ten directions. I should have thought of this earlier - there is still a tenth coffin here. If Im not mistaken, its clear about this water pool now. All of this has returned to the ultimate circle."

  Zhuo Xiong was already confused by Zhang Er and the monk, why did these insects retreat, and then another Wang came out. With his personality consistent with Chaozis idea, he would shoot and kill that big insect, and then run away. "Wen Bin brother, what do you mean?"

  "Everything has a beginning and an end. If we can bypass the end, we will return to the starting point. However, ordinary people reach the end and find that there is no road ahead, only death awaits. But if one can transcend this point, everything returns anew, which is rebirth! This is what Taoism calls round ultimate. The person who set up this formation has reached a state of divine transformation in their use of the Tao. If this is true, then the tenth coffin probably contains a living person."

  Chao Zi asked, "Is it a person? Brother Wen Bins intention is to make such a big commotion just to bury one person?"

  "Not bad, the ancients believed that humans can be reborn, they thought that as long as they passed through the point of death, they would come back together again, which is rebirth. Lets not rush, lets see what that insect does next."

  After a cigarettes time, the corpse silkworm king crawled down again along the silk, its belly was obviously more bulging than before, so even its movements were not as swift as before. When it climbed to the ground, it looked up at Cha Wenbin with its head held high, as if thinking about something. Cha Wenbin had already aimed his two guns at its head, and as soon as it moved, he would pull the trigger without hesitation. However, after looking for a moment, the insect surprisingly moved its mouth-edge pincers towards the small corpse silkworm beside it, then crawled into the pile of rocks, and the other "corpse silkworms" followed suit, disappearing without a trace. The "corpse silkworms" that had formed a line earlier also fell off, leaving only chaotic black silk threads on the ground. The entire dark river returned to its previous tranquility.

  After confirming that all the "dead silkworms" had left, Zhuo Xiong and Chu Zi finally put down their guns. Cha Wenbin spoke up, saying: "Lets go take a look!" He walked towards the middle position, and the two behind him could only follow suit. Everyone was curious about what was inside the tenth coffin that Cha Wenbin mentioned, and what had the insect just done again?
