Chapter 225: Cicada in the Ear

Without the disturbance of the cicada, everyone felt much better. Fatty Wang rubbed his sore face and said: "You know how to train a cicada!"

Flutter, a lone cicada kept flapping its wings around the crowd. Fatty Wang chased the cicada and said, "Come on, let me play with it for a while."

Liu Sang looked at the whistle he carried with him, then put it in his pocket: "Most people can't play it."

"What do you mean ordinary people?" Fatty Wang slapped the tree cicada on the arm, then slowly loosened his hand to show the results of his labor.

A pitch-black cicada appeared in front of everyone. The difference was that it had two horns on its head and its legs were much stronger than those of ordinary cicadas.

Looking at the weird cicada, Fatty Wang retorted, "I'm not an ordinary person, die."

Wu Xie picked up the cicada and said, "This thing is called a tree cicada. It is very sensitive to sound. It likes to live in cold and humid places and is very sensitive to sound."

"Liu Sang, this is why your whistle worked just now."

"Listen, the whistle is still there." Fatty Wang reminded.

Everyone immediately closed their ears and listened to the sound in the cave. Echoes kept coming. The fat man immediately took a step forward and shouted:
“I want to eat fried cicadas!”

The corridor was immediately filled with the fat man's voice, as if everyone in the cave wanted to eat fried cicadas. After a few seconds, the voice completely stopped.

Wu Suowei was estimating the construction model of Leicheng in his mind.

It is the kind that has winding paths and is definitely a circular building with twists and turns.

This way, the sound can be better utilized. The fat man pretended to be enlightened and said, "So this Leicheng is a repeater."

Everyone ignored his teasing and looked at the figure in front of them. He shouted again that he wanted to eat kidneys.

We can't let him shout like this anymore. If he continues like this, I guess everyone in the team will think of barbecue stalls and restaurants.

This corridor full of unknowns was obviously not very suitable, so Wu Suowei patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."

He turned his head and took a glance, and saw that there was only the young man behind them to support them. Then he followed the team and went deeper into the corridor.

Life is a series of competitions. Once you fall behind, you have to find a new way to surpass your opponents.

Boss Jiao believed that although Wu Xie and the others were temporarily ahead, what would it matter if they arrived first? Under the strong firepower suppression, they would still have to bow their heads in the end.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sanye followed Boss Jiao up the stairs.

At the top was a stone platform with strange pointed objects standing around it. Due to the long time, these pointed objects were covered with moss and weeds.

"What are these? Are they towers?"

Looking at the two or three meter high tip in front of him, the eldest of the Wang family explained: "These things are rougher than the tower. They should be another kind of auxiliary building complex of Leicheng."

"There must have been a big crustal movement here a long time ago, so some buildings were buried underground."

"Over the years, a lot of dust has covered it."

Looking at the moss-covered building in front of him, Boss Jiao raised his hand and placed it on it. Thunder sounded and the dust on the buildings collapsed rapidly.

Looking at the rocks continuously falling to the ground, the head of the Wang family immediately asked everyone to retreat to a safe area.

After the rocks were cleared, everyone could see clearly that the buildings around them were statues of the god of thunder, and Boss Jiao's hand was resting on the god of thunder's hand.

Then the Thunder God statue quickly retreated, and a dark passage appeared underground.

When the Wang family gathered around him, Boss Jiao pressed the cane in his hand heavily on the ground: "This is it!"

On the other side, the walking team came to a huge cave and looked at the pillar in front of them that required three or four people to hug together, with the image of Thor carved on it.

There are circles of thunder clouds around the Thunder God, and the large-scale thunder clouds form the shape of ears.

Bai Haotian looked puzzled: "The pattern on it is so strange."

"These pillars should be some kind of device." Wu Xie guessed.

"The fat man shouted just now, and the sound spread here. I guess the structure of these pillars is the same as Ou Zhou's organ, relying on the vibration of air to act as reeds to transmit sound." The man with black glasses explained.

"Come here, Sangbei, come and listen." Fatty Wang was about to pull Liu Sang closer to the pillar, but Liu Sang suddenly fell in front of Fatty: "Hey, are you a scammer? I didn't touch you."

"Liu Sang."

"Liu Sang!"

Fatty Wang's voice attracted everyone, and the team members immediately surrounded Liu Sang.

Wu Suowei tried to open his eyes. Sound waves were transmitted to his hands, and the sound of something moving was immediately reflected in his ears.

Liu Sang's face was turned to the side, which was filled with blood. A black figure kept moving in the ear hole.

"The cicada got into his ear." Wu Xie reminded.

"It got into my ear. Where did that tree cicada come from?"

Fatty Wang said anxiously.

"Up, up." Liu Sang said with a painful look on his face.

The team members looked up one by one. The cave was filled with densely packed tree cicadas, which were even larger than the number that had surrounded them just now.

It was like entering the nest of a tree cicada.

"Quick, blow the whistle, blow the whistle!" Fatty Wang was about to pick up Liusang's whistle and put it in his mouth when Wu Suowei immediately grabbed his hand.

"It's no use blowing a whistle now. This might be their old nest. With so many adult treehoppers here, there must be a lot of immature larvae."

"Once you blow the whistle, they will definitely be chased and intercepted. Move away from them first. If they are really chasing you, blow the whistle again. They will think that their young are in danger and will definitely return the same way they came."

"Go quickly!"

As the voice fell, Fatty Wang immediately ran with Liu Sang on his back, asking questions as he walked. Feeling the sound of wings behind them, everyone kept running.

The sound was getting closer and closer. Seeing the cicada fall on the collarbone, Bai Haotian suddenly felt a pain. He slapped it and almost died.

But after the slap, her body felt burning, and then she realized: "This bug can bite people."

"Let's go, let's go!" Wu Xie urged.

The sound became louder and louder, and Fatty Wang blew a whistle. The sound of the whistle was constantly attracted to the pillar, and a large number of tree cicadas returned to their nests.

"Sangbei, this whistle doesn't work very well. Could it be that the one who got into your ear is a king?"

fart.

Liu Sang said while shivering.

"Brother, this is a critical moment, let your blood out quickly!"

Wu Suowei waved his shirt, and the tree cicada that was close to him was immediately hit against the stone wall.

The tree cicada hit the stone wall and was immediately smashed to pieces. The young man looked at Wu Suowei in confusion. Why didn't he bleed him at this time?
After thinking for a while, he probably didn't want to smell the smell of burning high concentration of protein anymore, so he wiped the knife on his hand.

The young man kept moving, and the blood spilled on the stone wall turned into a high wall. Everyone was inside the wall, and the tree cicada was wandering outside the wall.

Noticing that the treehopper couldn't get in for the time being, the team members immediately maintained a safe range with it.

After running a few hundred meters, there were copper pillars with patterns carved all around him, one after another like a steel jungle. Fatty Wang asked for directions while running. When there was no way to go ahead, Fatty Wang immediately asked Liu Sang to listen for directions, but the sound of flapping wings continued behind him.

The noise was too mixed and Liu Sang couldn't hear clearly where the road was. The fat man turned to look at Wu Suowei, only to see him shaking his head.

In this situation, the only one who could tell the difference was Boss Jiao. After all, his head was designed to hear thunder, and it was covered with densely packed small holes.

The head of the Wang family led everyone into a huge bronze pipe, which was covered with bronze reeds.

The people behind him were all surprised when they looked at the bronze pipe. During the Han Dynasty, coins were called Banliang coins, Han Wuzhu coins, etc., and the mainstream coins were made of bronze.

It is unknown how long the pipeline is. How much money could such a large area of ​​bronze pipeline be made at that time?
The road was paved with coins. Judging from the size, the King of the South China Sea must be the richest man in the world. What about the burial objects? Everyone estimated that they had come to the right place.

Although they were happy in their hearts, danger was always around them along the way, so they did not let down their guard at all.

the other side.

Fatty Wang looked at the large number of tree cicadas flying towards him, his face full of anger. He chased them all the way and it seemed that they were determined to destroy them.

Rather than being killed by them, it is better to kill them. The fat man put Liusang down and took out the dynamite from his bag.

"Blast them, damn it!"

"You can't blow it up." The young man stopped him, "This place gathers sound. If it explodes, we will definitely be affected."

Wu Xie looked at Brother and Wu Suowei, with anxiety evident on his face.

Once a large area is covered by these tree cicadas, they will definitely gnaw away everything, not even the bones will be left.

Everyone had seen the power of blood just now. Although it could temporarily stop the cicada's steps, it could not play a fundamental role.

Once they surround everyone, they can only keep bleeding.

Affected? How big could the impact be? If everyone is affected, the impact on the tree cicada, which is small and sensitive to sound, must be even greater.

Things that can be solved with explosives must not be solved in vain.

"No, it's too late." Wu Xie said, looking at Xiao Ge: "Xiao Ge, we can only take a gamble."

"Okay!" The young man said expressionlessly. Looking at Liu Sang half-lying on the stone wall, Wu Suowei took off the noise reduction and said, "Give it back to me later."

As he said that, Wu Suowei put the headphones on Liu Sang and watched Wu Suowei cover his ears and clench his teeth.

Liu Sang's face was moved, but everyone was the same kind of person. They would not believe the thanks that were always on the lips. It was better to just keep the thanks in mind.

Fatty Wang and Wu Xie each lit a detonator.

Looking at the large number of tree cicadas flying in the air, he calculated the time for them to explode in mid-air and then threw them into the air.

boom!
A huge explosion sounded and the ground shook.

Boss Jiao and his group who were walking in the bronze pipe suddenly felt the pipe tremble, and the timid people inside began to scream.

The noisy sound was particularly harsh in the pipe. Sanye glared at the two three-inch-tall, rotten-bark people who were screaming.

"What are you arguing about? You scared me to death. Ugly people are always weird."

It's Wu Xie. Boss Jiao noted the tiny amplitude left around him.

In the silence of everyone, the red-capped man suddenly said, "Hey, when was I injured? How come I didn't know?"

Everyone immediately looked at the tiny wounds on their exposed parts, which were like needle stitches, and fear immediately appeared on their faces.

It's so weird. I have so many wounds on my body, but I don't feel anything at all.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm injured too. These wounds are very strange, if I'm not mistaken."

"It's the edges of the reeds. They're made of bronze, and their edges are like scalpels."

“When I get scratched, I don’t feel any pain.”

After getting the explanation, Boss Jiao looked at the wound, if it was true.

Without knowing how far the copper pipe was, everyone was injured and might die here for no apparent reason.

Sound is a good tool to measure distance. Applause broke out, and the sound continued to echo in the copper tube. The eldest brother of the Wang family tilted his ears.

He didn't speak until the sound completely disappeared, "Boss Jiao, judging from the sound, this pipeline should be very long. It should run across the entire mountain and connect the inner city and the outer city."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the valley resonated with thunder before was because of these large numbers of reeds, which conducted the vibrations of thunder within the mountain."

Interesting, the entire mountain is at least tens of kilometers in radius. With such a large amount of bronze, how rich was the King of the South China Sea at that time?
This made him want to see the treasure of Leicheng as soon as possible, and he urged: "This pipeline is a sound transmission system, hurry in."

In the cave, the people inside were not as lucky as Boss Jiao and his group. Unlike them, the pipe only vibrated a little.

Except for Liu Sang who was in a slightly better condition, most of the people in the cave had fainted.

Wu Suowei's face turned pale, and he called out to the people lying on the ground. The little brother also went over to lend a hand, and he went straight to Wu Xie, who was foaming at the mouth.

Looking at Fatty Wang whose eyes were waking around, Wu Suowei poured mineral water on his face.

"Is this really a big deal? This place is like a dustpan, even the bedbugs have been shaken to death." Fatty Wang sat up and wiped the water off his face.

He glanced around and saw Bai Haotian still lying on the ground.

The fat man helped her up and said, "Fourth sister, you must be hurt by the earthquake. Don't let the earthquake stop you from growing taller."

As soon as he helped him up, Liu Sang's painful voice was heard, and Wu Suowei immediately ran over to take off the noise-cancelling headphones.

Under the protection of the noise-canceling headphones, the cicada in Liu Sang's ear was well protected and was happily drilling inside.

"The treehopper has burrowed very deep. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid our eardrums will be destroyed."

Wu Xie recalled the time when his brother pinched someone's hand in the underground palace of the King of the South Sea, and turned around and asked, "Brother, is there any way?"

When everyone looked at the young man, Fatty Wang immediately took the initiative and said, "Young man, use your blood. The bugs are afraid of your blood."

"My blood is not a fatal threat to them. They will only crawl deeper and deeper." Brother Zhang turned his head and looked at Wu Suowei: "His blood is too overbearing. I guess even Liu Sang will be ignited."

"If this continues, the bugs will lay eggs and make their home in Sorrowback's ears."

As soon as Fatty Wang finished speaking, Liu Sang's hand fell on his leg, causing him to shiver in pain: "Don't pinch me."

"Then we have no choice but to use a stupid method. Insects are attracted to light, and the light can lure them out." Wu Xie said.

After saying that, Wu Xie turned on the light and was about to put it next to Liu Sang's ear, but he saw Wu Suowei shaking his head. "What's wrong? Do you have any good ideas?"

"No, but the blind man must have it. In the past, when we were cleaning out the insects in pig ears in our hometown, in addition to injecting medicine, we would also use a red-hot iron rod." Wu said.

The corners of the man with black glasses' mouth twitched: "I have also seen this method, but it was in the clouds. It was used by the locals to deal with poisonous insects. It's just a little risky."

"This is too dangerous." Fatty Wang shuddered.

Everyone looked at Liu Sang. As the person involved, he had the right to decide whether to use this method and bear the risk.

"Come on, try." The intense pain made Liu Sang miserable. He tightly grasped the leather jacket of Black Glasses and nodded: "I believe you."
