Professional tomb robbers know that the most dangerous tombs are definitely not the tombs of princes and generals. Although these tombs are full of traps, like a maze, there are still traces to follow. Therefore, the tombs of many emperors in the past dynasties cannot escape the prying eyes of tomb robbers. The really dangerous tombs must be the tombs of wizards, priests, Fengshui masters, etc. In ancient times, these "clerics" had a high status, so their tombs were not much inferior to those of princes and generals. But the most important thing is that in the tombs of these "clergymen", there are often some "mysterious things" left to guard their coffins.
Mystery means danger! means death!
According to investigations, the pyramid that Qin Nan's scientific research team entered was the tomb of a high priest in ancient Egypt. The "guardian" of the high priest's tomb was the stigmata beetle he raised. Even though the high priest in the tomb has become a thousand-year mummy, the stigmata beetles he kept in the tomb have continued.
It stands to reason that the lifespan of insects is very short, but only a few years, but the reproductive ability of insects is beyond the reach of many species. There is a common saying called "Grass seeds of thousands of years, insect eggs of ten thousand years", which shows how powerful the reproduction ability of insects is.
Among the bugs, such as cockroaches, this guy used to be neighbors with dinosaurs, and they have been multiplying until now. One can imagine how powerful their vitality and fecundity are. Not to mention anything else, just fecundity. It is said that after a male cockroach mates with a female cockroach once, the female cockroach can lay eggs many times in a lifetime. It can be seen that the sex and ability of male cockroaches alone can explode many species. Because of this, no matter how advanced your pesticides are, you won't be able to wipe cockroaches from the world. And once you find a cockroach in your home, it means that there may actually be thousands of cockroaches lurking in the dark in your home.
However, cockroaches are tenacious but not ferocious bugs. In the records of the Poison Sect, there is a kind of insect that is somewhat similar to the stigmata beetle, and that is the "desert blood locust", also known as the "desert man-eating locust". This kind of locust basically lays its eggs in caves in the desert. Every few decades or hundreds of years, when there is abundant rain in the desert and plants start to recover, the eggs of this kind of locust will naturally hatch, and then grow It grows and reproduces at a crazy speed, and finally devours everything. Wherever it passes, any edible thing will be eaten by them. Then when the food in a place is almost eaten, these locusts will move with the wind and form a "locust cloud". Wherever the wind blows, they will eat up everything there, whether it is food crops or livestock, until they Eat up all the edible things around the desert. In the end, they will leave their eggs in the caves in the desert, quietly waiting for the next explosion of life in the desert, and they will end all life again.
So Qin Lang has always believed that many people think that bugs are fragile, but in fact it is human beings who are vulnerable. If there is a rapid deterioration of the environment, humans may not be able to adapt, but many insects and animals can continue because their vitality and reproduction are too strong. For example, some bugs can live for a few days without their heads, but people obviously cannot do it.
This kind of stigmata beetle, to some extent, is somewhat similar to the desert blood locust, and they also reproduce by saving eggs. But the difference is that stigmata beetles are not "vegetarian". They are basically ferocious carnivores. Once they sense the "blood energy" around them, they will soon hatch and then live on animals or people, absorbing other The blood is strong, and finally kills the host.
As for how the stigmata beetles sense the approach of "food", it can only be said that their powerful genetics determine all of this. Just like the lemmings living near the North Pole, the number of lemmings will explode in a certain year when food is abundant. A lemming can actually give birth to seven litters a year, with twelve litters per litter. Left and right, a veritable reproductive machine, so the number will skyrocket quickly, and then they will quickly eat up a large area of food, but when their number explodes to a certain extent and exceeds the "load", lemmings will carry out a kind of human incomprehensible Behavior: collective suicide by jumping into the sea.
In short, this stigmata beetle is definitely a kind of insect with strong vitality, strong reproductive ability, and extremely aggressive, and its attack power is very manic, just like the poisonous snake that Qin Lang fed them just now, it was killed in an instant These stigmata beetles have eaten so few bones. These stigmata beetles even devoured tin cans to express their strong desire and dissatisfaction for flesh and blood.
To be honest, the reason why Qin Nan survived was not because he was lucky, but because he brought the "worm repellent sac" specially prepared for him by Qin Lang. Because Qin Lang has a non-phase poisonous body, he is no longer worried about being attacked by any poisonous insects, but his parents are "mortals" and often deal with some poisonous animals and plants, so Qin Lang prepared a poisonous insect for his parents. Insect repellent sac, with this small sachet, it is almost impossible to be attacked by poisonous insects. Even if it is bitten by poisonous insects, the medicine in this insect repellent sac also has a miraculous detoxification effect. Moreover, the insect repellent sac was indeed effective, even the mosquitoes would not bite after wearing it, so Qin Nan always carried it with him, so this thing also saved his life.
At that time, a stigmata beetle lived on Qin Nan's body, but because of the suppression of the insect repellent sac, this manic stigmata beetle became a "slacker" and grew very slowly, so it was not until Qin Nan returned to China. , none of the stigmata beetles laid eggs, and Qin Nan saved his life because of this. However, after Qin Nan returned to the country, Qin Lang immediately noticed that there were poisonous insects on Qin Nan because of his non-phase poisonous body, so he informed Qin Nan.
Moreover, Qin Lang was also very puzzled at the time. The insect repellent sac on Qin Nan's body could almost restrain many powerful poisonous insects, and this kind of poisonous insect could withstand the breath of the insect repellent sac and live on Qin Nan's body. How strong is the vitality and the desire to attack.
Only when Qin Lang dug out the stigmata beetle from Qin Nan's leg did Qin Nan dare to believe that he had really "succumbed". After some research on the bug, Qin Nan deduced that the bug should be The "stigmata beetle" in ancient Egyptian legend. Some totems similar to beetles have been found on some cultural relics in ancient Egypt, which makes many people puzzled why the ancient Egyptians regarded beetles as "sacred objects".
However, from the perspective of history and human nature, the reason why people worship various gods is essentially because of awe! Because of fear! fear!
