Chapter 16 Village Ruins
What stone statues?
Ye Hao and the others were all a little confused at this time, where was the stone statue that Basang was talking about, why couldn't he see anything?
However, Xing Jie suddenly realized, and even Alyssa had such an expression.
"Fool, don't you see?" said Bassan, shaking his head.
When he saw the blank eyes of the five, he knew that it was white.
"I really don't know what your instructors have taught you, it's all common sense. When he had finished speaking, he took out his knife and went straight to the foot of a strange-shaped tree, and with a swing of his knife he cut off the crown of the tree, and then with a few brushes he cut off the thick moss that was on the outside of the statue.
Then, a strange-shaped stone sculpture appeared in front of everyone. The whole stone sculpture is very similar to the totem pole erected high in front of the Indian tribe in the movie, but it is much shorter. Below is a stone base of about one meter, and the carving process of the whole stone base makes Xing Jie very familiar, and the carving style found in the moon pyramid is very similar, but in general, it is closer to the later Teotihuacan civilization.
Could it be that the indigenous people of Mexico at the time came here to carve out new territory?
But instead of leaving the more abundant Amazon basin and going to Peru, a place full of mountains, did you get water in your brain?
The things that appeared on the stone base of the stone statue made Xing Jie's head even bigger for a while. It's disgusting, it's a bug. And the carving process is not the traditional technique of the ancient Mexican civilization, and it is not the same as the so-called Xia Wen civilization, but it looks very similar to the realism that originated in France in the 19th century!
It's just that although this bug looks a little hideous, the whole bug looks fat, cute and cute, but not so disgusting. And every detail is carved quite well, even after countless years, there is not a trace of damage, as if it has just been carved and placed there.
Did humans ever live here?
What a big heart it must be.
"Brother Jie, do you think this thing is actually alive, as often depicted in the book?
"Ye Hao, can't you see that you, a dignified seven-foot man, are actually afraid of a bug? Even if this thing is alive, it is just a bug. What do you have in your hand? A gun! It's not a burning stick! It's coming at you, and you won't shoot?"
Xing Jie was so angry that he felt that he had lost his eyes. These five people didn't behave so stupidly in the hinterland of the snowy mountains at the beginning, but now it really made him feel as if he was in big trouble.
"It's too far from Dong Biao's kid, although his skills are not bad, but his mentality is not good. Let's see, if there is still no improvement by the end of this time, it is better to give up the team, and let's partner with Basang in the future. Xing Jie thought involuntarily.
Seeing Xing Jie so angry, Ye Hao was also stunned. Xing Jie used to smile and talk very well no matter what he did, and this was the first time he had treated them like this.
"Mouse, you're really scared this time. I think Brother Jie is right, we are rookies, that's right. If you don't understand something, you can ask or make mistakes. But we must not be discouraged, once we lose morale, there is no hope of success in whatever we do. Huang Xiaobo patted Ye Hao's shoulder next to him and said.
And Ye Hao's sweaty face was red and white. Huang Xiaobo is right, no matter how they are in the canyon, they still have momentum, and when they encounter places they don't understand, whether it is Basang, Xing Jie, or even the famous magicians, they all know everything. But now, I have lost my morale for no reason. If this was on the battlefield before, he would definitely be beheaded by the peak!
"Alyssa, take a picture and send it online. Let the gods help you see what the hell this is. Also, send a copy to Professor Yang Tianhua. Xing Jie said.
"It's a fetish of this tribe! There's a village ruins in front of it, and there are several of them like this. The uncle suddenly said on the side.
This sentence made Xing Jie and the others excited. No one cares about what is a god or not, but there are ruins! It means that there used to be a village in that place. Where would the village be built? It must be a place where the ground is high and there is no standing water. This is the real good news! As for the rest, Xing Jie and the others no longer desire, they just want to find a relatively dry place to settle down as soon as possible. My feet have been soaked in water for so long, and if I don't dry them quickly, they will definitely be soaked.
Catching up with more than ten kilometers of road in the jungle is simply not something ordinary people can afford. Even those who were as strong as Basang had already begun to pant like a cow in the end, and as for Alyssa and Ye Hao, they had already begun to stagger, their legs trembling, their hands on the branches, and their teeth clenched to forcibly support them.
As for Xing Jie, he was carrying a lot of water vines on his back, and from time to time he cut off a piece and handed it out. In this hellish jungle, there is only the juice in this water vine that can be quoted, the high temperature is sultry, and if you don't replenish water in time, once you fall ill, it's really dangerous!
"It's not far ahead of the ruins, plus a little bit of energy. ”
The uncle's deep voice is more beautiful than any natural sound at this time. Alyssa cheered and stumbled forward.
He fell headlong to the ground, saying that he would not get up for anything. As for whether there are any insects and snakes, I don't care. Sitting on dry land, it turned out to be such a wonderful thing, green grass, at this time in Xing Jie's hearts, it was much more comfortable than any water mattress.
Bassan was also tired, but struggled to pull everyone else up. It's all in this place, and if you are stung by some small bug, it will be too unjust. And when the bonfire was lit and several pairs of feet stretched out side by side. The sky above the entire small camp suddenly began to diffuse with an indescribable smell comparable to the poisonous effect of mustard gas.
……
"It's this stone, No, there's that carving on it. Isn't it very similar to the picture that your father-in-law sent me? And this place is at the highest point of the whole ruins, although it is not large, but it has an area of nearly 20 square meters. The floor is all made of stone slabs.
And in this kind of jungle, it is difficult to find so many stones. And, what's even more surprising is that you go and look at the stone carving, which is carved from a whole piece of rough emerald stone! According to my original survey of this area, I didn't find any emerald mines in this generation.
It is hard to imagine how it was transported here? Walking in this disgusting jungle is unthinkable!"
