Chapter 191: The Dusty Past (Part 2)
"Ka-Ka-"
The branches trembled, and a crow rested on it, sorting out its messy black feathers from the long journey, and at this moment, in the sky over Sardinia, the huge crows that covered the sky like dark clouds were gone.
However, they did not migrate elsewhere or magically disappear in place, but landed collectively in all corners of the island in a short time, and from a bird's eye view, the vast and dense jungle seemed to be covered with a huge and pitch-black bear skin, and if you looked closely, between the lush branches, there were already dense black-feathered crows, but strangely, this group of noisy birds was now different from the noise they had before when they were hovering in the sky, and all of them were as quiet as specimens, silently standing between the branches, except for the occasional few wings flapping caused by being squeezed off the trunk, the whole of Sardinia fell into an indescribable depression and solemnityγ
According to the comparative analysis of the archives of the latecomers, the moment when the crows once again had such a change was the moment when the archaeological investigation team opened the door of the cellar...... Exactly the same, even minute by second.
As for the expedition team, they were not aware of the anomalies in the outside world in the depths of the arena ruins, and the moment they opened the door, their eyes were completely filled with the endless corpses. Countless mutilated or intact corpses climbed the stairs, curled up against the walls, and even trampled on the human bodies around them, and the expressions on the faces of the corpses that had not yet been ossified were all obvious expressions of fear, and at a glance, it was clear from the posture of these people that until the moment before they died, they were desperately letting their bodies carry out the order to "escape".
Then, continue to investigate in the direction they turned their backs, and perhaps, you will be able to find the truth about all the strange events hidden in this ancient cellar, right?
With this in mind, the expedition team continued to grope forward. They carefully avoided the dried and stiff corpses, collecting as few clues as possible on the corpses, and praying that they would not be burdened by the psychological burden of destroying the corpses of the deceased, but as the investigation came to a conclusion, all the team members began to doubt their eyes more and more - according to the data, the time span between the corpses here and each other could be said to be as cluttered as the earphone cords in their pockets.
Yesterday, last week, a few months ago, more than a hundred years, as if mocking the concept of [time], the death time of the corpses concentrated in this cellar could not find any regularity, and a certain team member even found the DNA of a mammoth in the stomach pouch of a corpse, which shows that among the many dead people whose cause of death is unknown, there are even primitive people who fed on mammoths in ancient times?
[Common sense] and [knowledge] gradually collapsed as the scientific expedition team continued to deepen, and more and more anomalies beyond the scope of theory were searched.
Not only the human corpses whose years could not be determined, but in the depths, the team members even found a large number of alien and extinct animal remains, compared to the crowded and fleeing postures on the periphery, there were obvious traces of resistance but the remains of the fighters who died in battle gradually increased proportionally, and the deeper they explored, the more [defeat] they could see, rather than [escape].
So, why exactly?
Who had gathered such a large number of men and gathered them beneath the darkness of the earth, even those who could be seen from their bodies alone, just so that they could fight each other like hungry beasts for no reason?
"If you think so, you're wrong. β
Just as everyone was thinking, one of the team members suddenly said this, and before everyone could react, the man who had been walking at the end of the line gently bent the cold light stick in his hand, and with the help of the light inspired by the cold light stick, the rest of the scientific expedition team finally noticed the man's face.
Xuanyi, the man who is rumored to have single-handedly defeated one of the Axis Triumvirate, the Beamon Behemoth, is also the man who struggles to sustain this exploration.
"Don't be surprised, I was just asked by Mr. Qi to secretly protect the scholars here, and I didn't mean to interfere with your thinking. A short knife glowing with cold light slipped into Xuan Yi's sleeve, and in the face of everyone's bewildered gaze, he waved his hand slightly, signaling the other party not to panic, "It's just a pity that in this place, your wisdom can't come in handy for the time being, because what happened here has already involved some knowledge that is contrary to the word [science]." β
"Mr. Xuan, what do you mean......" The captain of the scientific expedition team and his colleagues looked at each other, facing the other party's baseless remarks, even if he was that Xuan Yi, obviously he couldn't convince the scholars completely.
"[Gu]. β
"Gu?"
Xuan Yi carried his knife in front of everyone one by one, and then walked to the front of the line, and while his steps did not stop, he also continued to explain: "In the ancient East, there was a unique and complex system called [Bagua] It is said that it can be deduced from countless different effects in eight directions, just now while you were searching, I went to the edge of the cellar as fast as possible to check, as I expected, although the space is huge to the point of exaggeration, but from the overall point of view, this cellar is indeed built with the arrangement of the [Bagua Array], and the various directions are clear and undoubted, and the points are exactly the same. β
"Uh...... Mr. Xuan, I would like to remind you that this is a relic of the ancient Roman period, you ...... Are you a little too whimsical?" After a moment of silence, one of the team members spoke awkwardly, judging by the other people's eyes
They also shared the same views as the speakers.
"To be honest, I hope I'm talking nonsense. Xuan Yi stopped, his eyes looked around, he was searching for something, "However, the entrance to that cellar is the only [Shengmen] location in the Bagua Array, however, it is sealed, and it uses some kind of reinforced magic, didn't you notice just now, why does an iron door that is not too heavy require the joint efforts of more than a dozen people to open?"
"The Sealed Door of Life...... Excuse me, what does this mean in the Eastern system?" The previous team members wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by the captain of the scientific expedition team, who had obviously noticed something unusual.
"The eight doors are sealed, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no door to the ground, only the trapped beast fights, and the desperate situation can survive. This is the so-called [Gu Refining]. There was once a group of people who had fallen into the evil path who believed that in the face of extreme desperation, the last survivor could gain indescribable power, and that the more participants there were, the purer the ascension of the sole survivor became. Xuan Yi raised the short knife in his hand, and then swung it towards the darkness in front of him, only to hear a deafening sound of rock breaking, and everyone realized that there was such a dark room a few steps away from them.
"The makers of the large number of corpses in this cellar, the causes of the many anomalies, and the guy behind it all seem to be here. Oh, although I don't believe in that kind of heresy, but it seems to be ...... This guy did suffer retribution. β
The short knife flew around his fingers a few times, and then retracted into his sleeve like a gunner's revolver, Xuan Yi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sneer twice. In front of him, a blood-stained young man was sitting silently on top of the hill-high corpse pile, perhaps because of the countless high-intensity battles he had experienced before, no matter from which point of view, this young man's physical strength had reached the stage of running out of oil and lamp, and in his hand, a blonde man in a Taoist robe had been dead for a long time, perhaps, he did not expect until the last moment before his death that this last survivor would still have the strength to kill himself with one blow.
"You...... Who are ......you? Do you want to fight me? ...... Killed by me?"
As if sensing the breath of a living being, the dying young man raised his head suddenly, and in his eyes, the gaze of Xuan's figure was mechanical and numb, and his body was also shaky, as if in the next moment, he would die of heart exhaustion while bursting up.
"No, I won't fight you, and no one will force you to fight me. In the face of the hostile teenager, Xuan Yi just opened his arms slightly, without any defensive posture, without any action of accumulation, even if the other party had already raised his broken fist, he just stood in place, without any dodging reaction.
"You're free now. β
