Chapter 125: The Bronze Giant

Only Huang Hailin can answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, "There are two possibilities, one is that they found the way to the altar and are continuing to go deeper at this time. There is also a possibility that they retreated and were still wandering through the labyrinth. ”

Huang Hailin said, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Which one do you think is great?"

Huang Hailin shrugged his shoulders, "This is not good. ”

"Look around. Wang Xinran turned around and walked towards the row of corpses on the right, Wu Zhongyuan also followed, and Yang Yi and Xiao Qin pressed against the stone wall to observe and search.

There are a total of eight hanged corpses, five of which are dried corpses, and the other three are mercenaries, because the stone chamber is very dry, the five dried corpses have been dehydrated and turned into mummies, because they have been dead for many years, the clothes on their bodies have long been decayed, the black and brown skin and flesh are exposed, the five dried corpses are all men, there are no tattoos on their bodies, and the hanged people will all open their mouths without exception, and their expressions are painful and hideous.

Scattered beneath the corpses were some debris, crumbs of clothes, weapons and small objects, although there were five dried corpses, but only four weapons, two knives, a sword, and an axe. The miscellaneous items were a few crisped shells and a few pieces of peiyu.

China's currency before the Shang Dynasty was not gold and silver nor copper coins, but shell coins, these shells were the currency of a certain era before the Shang Dynasty, the weapons were all made of bronze, the hardness of bronze was average, and the weapons made by it were not divine weapons.

Peiyu is the most valuable for research, different periods of jade have different characteristics, these pieces of jade surface smooth, carved clumsy, regular but very layered, this carving method is obvious hook technique, this is the remarkable feature of the Xia Dynasty jade.

Look at its material again, there is green jade, there is Dushan jade, and turquoise, people in different periods have different preferences for jade, the Xia Dynasty people do not re-breed the jade color, the so-called color, is the color of the jade, and the species, is the texture of the jade, the Xia Dynasty people only look at the color of the jade, do not care too much about whether the texture of the jade is delicate and clean.

"The five of them should live in the middle of the Xia Dynasty. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran was inspecting the bullet casings on the ground at this time, the three hanged mercenaries had fired in a panic before they died, and some bullet casings were scattered on the ground, hearing Wu Zhongyuan say, Wang Xinran raised his head and asked, "Can you tell which warrior is here?"

"The Xia Dynasty existed for about 500 years, and these jade artifacts clearly bear the characteristics of the middle Xia Dynasty, and according to the time, the most likely is the warrior who traveled to 1947 BC. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What's going on with this warrior?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan recalled, "This man was a young man, named Wu Tai, who was twenty-five years old when he set out. ”

"What is this person's character?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Wang Xinran looked at him suspiciously, she knew what was written on the little wizard's sheepskin, in order to make it easier for Wu Zhongyuan to find and identify, the appearance and personality of each warrior The little wizard had a description.

"This man is mute, and his personality is supposed to be withdrawn. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang nodded happily and reached out to grab the belt of one of the mercenaries to pull the body off, but the knees were so tough that she tried again and again.

"If it was so easy to break, they wouldn't have died back then. Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the dried corpses and said, these dried corpses were all armed with weapons when they were trapped, and they would not try to cut the buckle before they were hanged.

Wang happily shone the corpses of the mercenaries with a light, "Their backpacks are still on their bodies, and their weapons have not been taken away." ”

"Those who survived may have left in a hurry. Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"No," Wang gladly pointed to the rifle at the corpse's waist*, "you see, *is still there, they had used a lot of ammunition before, even if they didn't take supplies and guns, at least they should have taken them*." ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at her.

"I mean, they probably can't see the real thing in the stone chamber. Wang happily clung to the corpse as he spoke, and removed the backpack, guns and ammunition from the corpse.

"Probably not," Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the debris on the ground, "These things have been turned over, and there are traps behind the stone platform, and people have also gone down, if they can't see the real scene in the stone room, how can they turn and look for them?"

Wang Xinran still felt that his opinion was correct, but there was not enough reason to refute Wu Zhongyuan.

Two of the three corpses were carrying automatic rifles, Wang Xinran took off all the rifles and *, carried one on his back, and gave the other to Huang Hailin, leaving six* and three for each person.

The men only had pistols, which made up for the lack of firepower of the crowd, but unfortunately there were too few bullets, less than a hundred rounds per person.

Xiao Qin and Yang Yi had already circled around the stone chamber at this time, and they had not found a potential exit.

Huang Hailin was not surprised by such a result, "You guys take a rest first, and leave the matter of finding an exit to me." ”

"How's your research?" Xiao Qin pointed to the copper plate that Huang Hailin was holding in his hand.

"It can be determined that this round bead is the skeleton of a dragon-like creature, and if nothing else, it should be the nose bone of a mirage," Huang Hailin said, "The function of the copper plate is not only fixed, but also amplify the breath emitted by the ball. ”

The size of the instrument for detecting radiation is not large, Xiao Qin brought one with him, and the results of the test are as Huang Hailin said, although after years of decay, the beads still have strong radiation, and this special radiation will produce electromagnetic interference and indirectly affect human brain waves.

"Their scientific and technological development has reached this level?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little surprised.

Huang Hailin shook his head, "This has nothing to do with science and technology, they only know it, but they don't know why, just like many people eat steamed rice, they just know that rice steamed bread can satisfy hunger, but they don't know that they mainly provide carbohydrates." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and then asked Xiao Qin, "Can you determine their previous movement trajectory in the stone chamber?"

"I've checked it carefully," Xiao Qin said, "There are a total of eight people's footprints in the stone chamber, seven of which are concentrated near the entrance, and one person's footprints are scattered all over the stone chamber, but this person's footprints are rather messy, and it is difficult to judge the specific trajectory of his movement." ”

"What kind of shoes is the person walking around the stone chamber wearing?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Flats, only one of the eight people has a different shoe print. Xiao Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan knew in his heart that the person walking around in the stone room was Lin Qingming.

Wang Xinran took over the conversation, "Your senior brother knows spells?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, but after shaking his head, he suddenly remembered something, the ghost painting talisman was in Lin Qingming's hand, Lin Qingming probably drew some kind of charm, temporarily eliminating the influence of those mirages on himself, and it is not difficult to guess the purpose of his entry into the stone room, one is to find the spirit stone, and the other is to find the exit.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's abnormal expression, Wang Xinran asked, "Will it be?"

"He doesn't know spells, but he can draw talismans, and he may have used some kind of spell to temporarily remove the illusion's effect on him. Wu Zhongyuan said, and after that, he asked Xiao Qin, "The footprints of the others are concentrated near the entrance, does this mean that they have retreated to the passage we just walked through?"

"That's how it should be. Xiao Qin nodded.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's worried face, Wang Xinran said beside him, "You don't have to worry too much, the organs in the passage can't kill them, we can only force them back here, as long as we find the exit, they can also follow to get out of trouble." ”

The search for the exit was left to Huang Hailin, who did not look for the edge, but focused on the left and right sides of the entrance and near the stone steps.

The people trapped here see all illusions, so the mechanism to open the next passage should not be very secretive, and based on the situation of the first few levels, it can be inferred that the mechanism to open the exit should be set up within the reach of the sacrificial people, and they can open it as they move forward.

After the inspection, no abnormal protrusions were found in the stone wall, and then the ground was examined.

Xiao Qin is good at tracking, and the people who are good at tracking are people who are good at observing details, and with Xiao Qin's help, Huang Hailin quickly found a suspicious location, just behind the first stone step, where there was a fist-sized depression slightly below the ground on the ground.

"It is likely that this was caused by the person who sacrificed the sacrifice struck with a scepter. After Huang Hailin finished speaking, he stomped on the depression, and after a kick, the mechanism was activated, and the stone steps that had originally gone up began to sink slowly, the shortest step sank the least, and the highest step sank the most.

After a while, all the ascending steps sank into the ground, and a right-bound passage appeared on the right side of the descending steps, Xiao Qin descended a few steps and illuminated it with a flashlight, "There are no footprints in the passage." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and the absence of footprints in the passage meant that Zhao Ying and the others did not find the exit, but retreated to the passage where they came.

"Now that we're ahead of the curve, be careful. Wang happily removed the rifle and checked the bullets.

Huang Hailin and others were checking the guns, and when they heard Wang Xinran say this, they all responded casually.

Worried that the steps would automatically rise after everyone went down, Wu Zhongyuan took half a bottle of mineral water from his bag and put it in the depression.

When he did this, he didn't taboo everyone, everyone knew why he did this, and they didn't stop it, the mechanism had been in change when everyone passed through the passage before, and Zhao Ying and the others were in it, so they naturally knew that they had also come down.

It was Wang Xinran and Huang Hailin who walked in front, Wu Zhongyuan in the center, Xiao Qin and Yang Yi in the end,

Descend to the bottom of the steps, everyone shines into it with a strong flashlight, and there is a wide stone chamber inside, which is circular, with an area of about 800 to 1,000 square meters, not very big and not very small, and there are two bronze giants up to three meters high standing in the middle of the stone room, holding double knives, and obliquely probing with both arms.

There were three bronze giants in the stone chamber, but one of them lay on the ground, visually damaged.

After a short observation, Wang Xinran said in a deep voice, "Don't get close, just break it up......"
