Chapter 25: The Partridge Whistle that came back from the dead?
Just as the three of them were struggling to kill the insects.

Professor Chen and the others came over.

Professor Chen frowned and said, "Xiao Xu, what are you doing? Why are you killing these fireflies?"

Xu Feng said without even raising his head: "I'll explain it to you later. Anyway, they are very dangerous. Hurry up and pack your things. You can't stay here anymore."

Shirley Yang squatted down and looked at the bugs that were slapped to death, and felt that they looked familiar.

When she heard Xu Feng say that he was going to pack up and leave, she immediately raised her head and frowned: "It's so late, where are we going?"

Fatty Wang stopped swatting the bugs and said breathlessly, "Since Master Xu has said we're leaving, we definitely can't stay here. Why are you talking so much nonsense, woman?"

Shirley Yang: “You!”

She gritted her teeth, wishing she could kick the fat guy to death.

Probably because of Fatty Wang’s ridicule and attacks along the way.

Hao Aiguo and others had a very bad impression of him.

I saw Fatty Wang chattering again.

Hao Aiguo snorted coldly: "Mystification!"

"They are just some rare mutant fireflies, and you are making a fuss about them, saying they are dangerous."

"Aren't you just trying to scare us into obeying you?"

"I just don't believe it. A mere firefly can eat me?!" After saying that, he reached out to pick up the insect on the ground.

Xu Feng was quick-witted and grabbed his wrist immediately.

Then she looked at him solemnly: "Professor Hao, I'm not trying to scare you. Don't joke with your life. These bugs are very dangerous."

Hao Aiguo struggled twice but failed to break free.

Xu Feng's hands were like iron clamps. How could a scholar like him possibly break free?

Professor Chen, who was nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Xiao Xu, don't get me wrong. Professor Hao didn't mean that. He just wanted to find out the whole story. Researchers like us all have bad tempers. Don't be offended."

"Can you tell us what kind of creature this bug is?"

Seeing that everyone's faces were filled with curiosity, Xu Feng said, "It's called a firefly, also known as a firefly."

Shirley Yang suddenly exclaimed: "I remember it!"

"Yes, this is the fire beetle, but almost no one has ever seen it. There are only sporadic records of it in the records of archaeologists and explorers around the world. For many people, it is just a legend!"

She didn't expect that the legendary fire beetle actually existed.

It's amazing.

But what is even more surprising is how Xu Feng knew?
It seemed that he recognized the fire beetles when they appeared just now.

She looked at Xu Feng deeply.

"Firebug?!"

Everyone was confused.

Ye Yixin asked: "Are they ladybugs? I thought they were a new species of fireflies."

Satipeng also followed suit: "Why are they called fire beetles? Can they breathe fire? Are they from outer space?"

Xu Feng didn't even bother to look at him.

The direct answer was: "The reason why fireflies are so rare and even few people have seen them is because they only live in spaces filled with corpses!"

"what?!"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Shirley Yang's mind was extremely quick and she reacted quickly.

"You mean, there is an ancient tomb under this glacier crack?"

After she finished speaking, she stared into Xu Feng's eyes, as if she wanted to see something.

"What?! There's an ancient tomb under this crack?!"

"How is it possible? This is an iceberg. Who would put a tomb here?"

“Could it be an alien tomb?”

Xu Feng noticed Shirley Yang's gaze.

He had discovered before that this woman had been secretly paying attention to him.

But he didn't care either.

It's time to establish my own prestige. Otherwise, how can I make them obey me and not mess around once I go down to the bottom of the glacier?

He sneered.

"Tomb?"

"An ordinary tomb cannot support so many fireflies. There should be a huge tomb complex under the crack, the kind that buries thousands of people."

"A cluster of tombs?!"

Professor Chen and Professor Hao's breathing became rapid.

"Xiao Xu, are you telling the truth?"

“Is there really a group of tombs down there?!”

Xu Feng nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, there must be a group of tombs."

Chu Jian suddenly asked: "Xu Feng, you haven't told me yet, what's so scary about this fire beetle?!"

Xu Feng looked at him solemnly: "It can release high temperature instantly and burn people to ashes."

Everyone was shocked.

"What nonsense! How can a bug release such high temperatures?!"

Hao Aiguo started talking nonsense again.

The faces of others were also filled with suspicion.

Only Lao Hu and Fatty believed what Xu Feng said.

Xu Feng sighed.

He knew that if he didn't explain clearly today, these people would not give up.

"Because fire beetles live in places where corpses are piled up all year round, over time, a layer of phosphorus powder with a very low ignition point will be covered on their carapaces."

"Phosphorus powder?"

Shirley Yang's eyes flashed: "Are you talking about the bodies in the tombs?"

"That's right!"

Xu Feng nodded: "The human body already contains phosphorus, and after death, the phosphorus will become more."

"These phosphorus powders are all sucked from a large number of corpses!"

"Fire beetles are cold-blooded animals with a strong negative energy. Phosphorus powder falling on them will not ignite, but will accumulate more and more."

"Once any creature touches them, the will-o'-the-wisp will ignite, and the temperature of this will-o'-the-wisp can burn the creature to ashes in an instant."

After listening to Xu Feng's explanation, everyone didn't know what to say.

Although what he said makes sense.

But it is too unbelievable. It completely goes against scientific evidence.

Shirley Yang asked: "How do you know so clearly about something that so many explorers, historians, and biologists around the world have not figured out?"

Xu Feng sneered; "Woman, what you said is really interesting!"

"Because they didn't understand, does that mean I have to be ignorant too?"

"Are they some kind of authority? Or does this matter also depend on seniority?!"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you really don't believe it, here are a few alive ones on the ground. Try catching them with your hands."

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you burn to ashes, I will help collect your ashes."

Shirley Yang: "You..."

Xu Feng killed the last few with a shovel, then walked towards the tent: "It's up to you whether you want to leave or not, but I won't stay here anyway. Don't sleep until midnight and get burned to death without knowing it."

Old Hu and the fat man followed Xu Feng.

The three of them began to pack up their things.

"Professor Chen, what should we do?"

Hao Aiguo and several students looked at Professor Chen, asking for his opinion.

Professor Chen looked at the insect corpses on the ground, then looked at Xu Feng.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Move!"

They packed up their things overnight and moved the tent to a place at least 500 meters away from the crack.

even so.

At night when going to bed.

Everyone still didn’t sleep well.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I thought of what Xu Feng said: Don’t sleep until the middle of the night, or you might get burned to death without knowing it.

"Damn Xu Feng!"

I don’t know how many people are secretly complaining about this.

Xu Feng didn't sleep well at night either.

He was considering whether to go down through the crack.

According to the original plot, this crack should be the one that Lao Hu and Fatty went down through.

Then we found the Nine-story Demon Tower.

But Xu Feng was very hesitant.

The plot may well have changed.

The situation inside the tomb is also unknown.

If I go down through the crack, what if those little guys appear again halfway?
At that time, they will either choose to loosen the rope and fall to their death.

Or choose to be burned to death by them.

There is no third way.

In the original plot, didn’t these little guys also appear at the last moment?
Xu Feng doesn't want to gamble.

……

the next day.

Everyone set off on their journey in low spirits.

After walking three kilometers for about an hour, we finally reached a mountain wall.

There is a cave on the mountain wall.

"Here we are."

Shirley Yang said.

Xu Feng looked around the cave. It was deep and dark inside and he couldn't see anything.

Shirley Yang and Professor Chen looked at each other and said, "I have already told you about the explorer named Walter."

Xu Feng nodded: "Yeah, that's right."

Shirley Yang: "Actually, I'm here to look for my father."

Xu Feng: "Your father?!"

Isn't this the original plot?

But Kunlun Glacier only has one notebook.

"Yes."

Shirley Yang didn't know what Xu Feng was thinking, and said to herself: "My father is actually an explorer. He came to Longguo to look for the Jingjue Ancient City with Walter's information a few years ago, and then he disappeared."

"Before he disappeared, the last place he was seen was here."

"Then he must have had an accident. Maybe he died in this cave."

The fat man said nonsense.

This immediately attracted Shirley Yang's angry glare.

Lao Hu also pushed him and told him to shut up.

Shirley Yang took a deep breath and said, "My father is not dead, because just last year, he sent me something."

Xu Feng's heart trembled.

This is a plot that was not in the original plot.

Xu Feng: "What?"

Shirley Yang took out a golden mask from her backpack.

"This is it!"

"Since you have golden eyes, nothing can escape your eyes. Can you help me see what's special about this mask?"

Xu Feng took the mask.

This is a mask made of pure gold.

It’s hard to tell what the sculpture is, it looks like a person, but also like some kind of monster.

But between its eyebrows, there is a spiral symbol.

[Item name: Beast Taming Mask]

[Item Level: Top-grade magical instrument]

[Item Ability: Beast Taming]

[Item Description: Able to communicate with birds, beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants through mental communication, thereby controlling them]

Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out to be a divine object.

It is also a divine object that can taming beasts.

He unconsciously thought of King Xian.

It seems that this old guy is an expert in dealing with insect infestations. Could this thing be his?
