Professional tomb robbers know that the most dangerous tombs are definitely not the tombs of princes and generals, although these tombs are of course full of mechanisms, like a labyrinth, but there are still traces to follow.
Therefore, the tombs of many emperors in the past dynasties could not escape the prying eyes of tomb robbers.
In ancient times, these "clergy" had a very high status, so the scale of their tombs would not be much inferior to the tombs of princes and generals, but the most important thing is that the tombs of these "clergy" often leave some "mysterious things" to guard their coffins.
Mystery, that is, danger means death According to the investigation, the pyramid that Qin Nan's scientific expedition team entered and was submerged in the yellow sand, according to the investigation, was the tomb of a high priest in ancient Egypt, and the "guardian" of the tomb of this high priest was the stigmata beetle he raised.
Although the high priest in the tomb had become a thousand-year-old corpse, the stigmata beetles he kept in the tomb had survived.
It stands to reason that the lifespan of insects is very short, only a few years, but the ability of insects to reproduce is beyond the reach of many species.
There is a saying that "a thousand years of grass seeds, ten thousand years of insect eggs", which shows how strong the insect's ability to reproduce is.
Among the insects, such as cockroaches, this guy used to be neighbors with dinosaurs, and they have been breeding until now, so you can imagine how strong their vitality and fecundity are.
Not to mention anything else, just for fecundity, it is said that after a male cockroach has mated with a female cockroach once, the female cockroach can lay eggs multiple times throughout her life.
It can be seen that the sexual power of male cockroaches alone can completely explode many species.
Because of this, no matter how advanced insecticides you have, you can't eradicate cockroaches from this world.
And once you find a cockroach in your home, it means that you may actually have thousands of cockroaches lurking in the shadows in your home.
However, cockroaches are tenacious but not ferocious insects.
In the records of the Poison Sect, there is a bug that is somewhat similar to the Stigmata beetle, that is, the "Desert Blood Locust", also known as the "Desert Man-eating Locust".
This locust will basically lay its eggs in the caves of the desert, and every few decades or hundreds of years, when the desert is full of rain and plants begin to recover, the eggs of this locust will naturally hatch, and then grow and multiply at a crazy rate, and finally devour everything, and wherever they pass, anything they can eat will be eaten by them.
Then, when the food in a place is almost eaten, the locusts move with the wind, forming "locust clouds", and wherever the wind blows, they eat everything there, whether it is food crops or livestock, until they eat everything they can eat around the desert.
Eventually, they will leave their eggs in their caverns in the desert, waiting quietly for the next desert eruption, and they will end all life again.
Therefore, Qin Lang has always believed that many people think that insects are very fragile, but in fact, it is human beings themselves 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 they are too vigorous and reproductive.
For example, some insects can live for a few days without a head, but people obviously can't do that.
This stigmata beetle, in a way, resembles the desert blood locust, and they also reproduce by preserving their eggs.
But the difference is that the stigmata beetle is not a "vegetarian", they are basically ferocious carnivores, once they sense that there is "blood" around them, they will soon hatch, and then live on animals or people, absorb their blood and growth, and finally kill the host.
As for how Stigmata beetles sense the proximity of "food", it can only be said that their strong genes determine all this.
Just like the lemmings living near the North Pole, every specific year, when they sense the abundance of food, the number of lemmings will explode, a lemming can actually give birth to seven litters a year, about 12 litters, a veritable fertility machine, so the number will skyrocket rapidly, 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", the lemmings will carry out a behavior that humans cannot understand: collective suicide by jumping into the sea.
In short, this Stigmata Beetle is definitely a kind of insect with vitality, strong fecundity, and extremely aggressiveness, and its attack power is very manic, just like the poisonous snake that Qin Lang fed them just now, it was eaten by these Stigmata Beetles in an instant, and there were no bones left.
Even, these stigmata beetles even gnawed at tin pots to express their strong thirst for flesh and their strong dissatisfaction.
To be honest, the reason why Qin Nan was lucky not to die back then was not because he was lucky, but because he brought the "insect repellent sac" specially prepared for him by Qin Lang.
Qin Lang has no phase poison, so now he is not 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 has prepared an insect repellent sac for his parents, with this small sachet, he will almost not be attacked by poisonous insects, even if he is bitten by poisonous insects, the medicine in this insect repellent sac also has a miracle effect on detoxification.
And the insect repellent sac does have an effect, and even mosquitoes don't bite after bringing it, so Qin Nan has always carried it with him, so this thing also saved his life.
Back then, a Stigmata beetle lived on Qin Nan's body, but because of the drug suppression of the insect repellent sac, this manic Stigmata beetle became a "lazy worm" and grew very slowly, so until Qin Nan returned to China, this Stigmata beetle did not lay eggs, and Qin Nan also saved his life.
However, after Qin Nan returned to China, Qin Lang immediately noticed that Qin Nan had poisonous insects on his body because of his unphased poisonous body, so he informed Qin Nan.
Moreover, Qin Lang was also very puzzled at that time, the insect repellent sac on Qin Nan's body could almost restrain many powerful poisonous insects, and this poisonous insect could actually withstand the breath of the insect repellent sac and live on Qin Nan's body, you can imagine how strong the vitality and desire to attack this insect is.
When Qin Lang dug this stigmata beetle out of Qin Nan's leg, Qin Nan dared to believe that he was really "tricked", and Qin Nan conducted some research on this insect and speculated that this insect should be the "stigmata beetle" in ancient Egyptian legends.
On some of the cultural relics and relics of ancient Egypt, some totems similar to beetles have been found, which makes many people wonder 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 and fear of terror:
