Chapter 665 Flesh-Eating Black Earthworm
Unfortunately, even the two senior academicians, Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei, who walked up from the back, were completely baffled!
Think about it.
In the end, all they could say was that "it's because the Jianmu tree has excellent sound absorption properties," which was the only scientific explanation they could come up with.
Got it!
Asking is pointless!
Considering the warm air emanating from the cave ahead, Qin An stopped agonizing over the spiral wooden staircase. After all, worrying about the scientific principles behind it wouldn't help him reach the main tomb chamber of Chi You's tomb.
"Huh? Why does it feel so warm standing here? It's like a gentle breeze is blowing on my face?" Xie Wenjing opened her arms in enjoyment.
The voice just fell.
The rest of the archaeological team enjoyed the same thing!
Having grown accustomed to the biting wind that felt like ice daggers on their faces, they cherished this little bit of warm breeze, which was better than nothing.
"Could it be that there's a hot spring deep inside this cave? Didn't Academician Zhang say before that the Jianmu tree is a ladder connecting heaven and earth? It makes sense that there's a hot spring in the sky for the gods to enjoy, right?"
Hu Jizhou spoke with winking and making faces, and at the end, he even gently nudged Zhang Yunfeng with his shoulder.
Seeing this, Meng Yu covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhang Yunfeng neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "That's exactly what the Classic of Mountains and Seas says... but what's the truth? We'll have to go in and see for ourselves to find out."
"Okay! Let's go then!"
As Hu Jizhou spoke, he strode forward.
The archaeological team members all hoped that a hot spring would appear in the cave so that they could run around and relieve their fatigue, so they walked with a lighter pace.
Qin An glanced back at Jianmu before following the others into the cave.
Tick-tock—tick-tock—tick-tock—
We just entered the cave.
A few drops of water dripped from the stalactites at the top!
Although he didn't sense any killing intent, Hu Jizhou still instinctively felt that this cave was not simple, so he silently slowed down and waited for Qin An to pass him and walk at the front of the group.
Because Hu Jizhou's small movements were very subtle.
In addition, the archaeological team was observing the surroundings of the cave, so they did not notice it.
When Qin An reached the front of the group, he raised his hand to stop the archaeological team from moving forward.
"Hmm? Brother Qin An...what's wrong?"
Yang Lele asked, somewhat confused.
Qin An didn't reply.
Instead, he drew his Black Gold Ancient Sword, squatted down, and scraped the ground with the tip of the sword!
After doing all this.
Qin An turned around and placed the black gold ancient sword in front of the archaeological team, and the team members gathered in a circle to look at the insect on the sword.
This is an earthworm about one finger long.
"Hmm... Brother Qin An... what's so interesting about earthworms?"
Hawkeye was somewhat confused.
Qin An made a big fuss and ordered them to stop, making them very nervous, but in the end all he showed them was an earthworm.
What's so interesting about an earthworm?
Even Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei looked puzzled!
To be honest, earthworms are also called "earth dragons," which does sound a bit strange, but that's about it. Does this earthworm have the power to kill people?
"This earthworm can kill!" Qin An said calmly.
"Huh! Huh? What?"
Shao Wei nodded, intending to agree with Qin An, but after carefully listening to the meaning behind Qin An's words, he was completely dumbfounded.
"This is no ordinary earthworm... This is a flesh-eating black earthworm that uses the flesh of the dead as soil to eat!" Qin An read aloud to the archaeological team while looking at the information about the flesh-eating black earthworm displayed by the Eye of Reconnaissance.

[Combat power: 5]
【Weakness: Whole body】
[Introduction: Flesh-eating black earthworms are social creatures... When you find one flesh-eating black earthworm in a tomb, there will be no fewer than 1000 flesh-eating black earthworms in that tomb! Although these creatures are not poisonous, their mouthparts have a strong paralyzing substance, allowing them to silently bite through your skin like leeches and burrow inside to eat flesh and drink blood.]
[Note: Flesh-eating black earthworms are more like parasites... Don't be fooled by their extremely slow crawling speed on the outside! Once they burrow into your body, they move like fish swimming into the sea! Their burrowing speed is faster than your blood flow! Therefore, never set up camp in areas where flesh-eating black earthworms are present.]
Qin An finally breathed a sigh of relief after reading all the information about the flesh-eating black earthworm to the archaeological team.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough!
He had kept his reconnaissance eye active since entering the cave, which is why he was able to spot the flesh-eating black earthworm immediately. Otherwise, at this point in time, he would definitely have let the archaeological team sleep in the cave.
Until then!
It's possible that each person has at least ten flesh-eating black earthworms inside their body!
"This...this...is this really that weird? But this thing looks no different from a regular earthworm!"
Shao Wei was somewhat incredulous.
He thought that Qin An was just bored and had nothing better to do than use a random insect to scare them.
Hear this.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin An handed the Black Gold Ancient Sword directly to Shao Wei: "Why don't you touch it with your hand? See if it can burrow into your skin?"
As soon as these words came out.
Shao Wei's face turned deathly pale instantly!
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I won't try it! Brother Qin An, look at you... in such a hurry? I was just saying it casually."
Qin An ignored Shao Wei.
His gaze swept over the rest of the archaeological team.
After confirming that their expressions had become extremely serious, clearly indicating that they had taken it to heart, he finally removed the flesh-eating black earthworm and stomped on it until it was smashed to pieces.
At this time.
A mechanical voice also rang in Qin An's mind.
[Ding! You have completed a popular science lesson on the flesh-eating black earthworm tomb raiding, and your live stream viewership reached 9695 million! You have received a Diamond-level treasure chest!]
Upon hearing this mechanical voice, Qin An's lips twitched slightly.
Only 305 million people are needed!
He will then be able to obtain the King-level treasure chest!
Did the system suppress his popularity?
Qin An did not choose to open the treasure chest immediately. His priority was to see what the environment was like deep inside the cave and find a place to sleep as soon as possible.
It's already 9 PM!
"Be careful! One flesh-eating black earthworm means there are a thousand of its kind!" Qin An turned around and gave a warning before putting away his black gold ancient sword and continuing on his way.
Hear this.
The members of the archaeological team wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves and then tiptoed behind Qin An.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Just as the archaeological team was filled with trepidation, a sudden gust of hot wind blew in from the front!
