Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dragon Statue
Seeing that the cave that was completely accessible to people had been opened, the 925 squad led by Lieutenant Colonel Huang was inexplicably excited. One by one, they rubbed their fists and palms, and waited for this gate to stabilize, and then went in to have a good look. Of course, to change the word, such as scraping, is quite appropriate!
However, Xing Jie and his brother-in-law stood on the side indifferently, they were completely just watching the excitement, and they didn't even have the intention of thinking about it at all.
"Aren't you going down?" Lieutenant Colonel Huang already admired Xing Jie very much at this time, although he still had some dislike in his heart, but Xing Jie's experience was too rich, and in this unpredictable underground world, with their help, he could do twice the result with half the effort.
"Why do you want to go down now? Shouldn't you send a drone to explore the path in the afternoon? There is no condition abroad, but now this is your territory of 925, and at this time, don't say that you don't even have drones. Xing Jie's eyes widened and he asked incredulously.
Lieutenant Colonel Huang didn't care about Xing Jie's ridicule, after all, it was the first time to face this situation, and with a jewel like Xing Jie in front, who didn't want to make meritorious contributions to the soldiers, it was really understandable to have such a mistake.
As the drone's lens began to advance, a clear image gradually appeared on the display.
Looking at a skeleton not far from the entrance of the cave, Xing Jie's brows furrowed.
"The drone hovered around the skeleton, and in addition, reported the analysis of the air composition of the cave. ”
"Nitrogen, seventy-five percent. Oxygen, twenty-three percent. carbon dioxide, 0.015 percent. So far, no toxic gases have been found!" said a soldier aloud from the sidelines.
"The clothes on the skeleton are my country's Type 03 desert spotted camouflage uniform, military rank identification, none. Weapons, none. The cause of death was that he was killed by a weapon such as a bow and crossbow, and the number of crossbow arrows on the skeleton was 73! In addition, according to visual inspection, the weapon of this bow and crossbow was extremely powerful and penetrating, and the QGF02 aramid helmet on the part of the skeleton was completely penetrated!" said another soldier at the same time.
Xing Jie stared at the arrow in the monitor for a while and smiled.
"Uncle, it seems that we have met old friends again. The arrows of this crossbow are basically identical to those of the repeaters found in the remains of the Machu Picchu forest at that time. Mouse, call up the video data at that time, and make a comparison. Cheng Yu, everyone starts to prepare, and it will be time for us to go down later. Lieutenant Colonel Huang, please start setting up the lighting. ”
Xing Jie's brother-in-law smiled, and his hands began to stretch and move quickly.
……
After learning that the arrowheads here were the same as those in the ruins of Machu Picchu, the uncle still rushed into the cave first. Xing Jie followed closely, and the five people also followed with a smile.
"Magician Liu Fengwu is okay, Xing Jie can also predict it. But I didn't expect that even Ye Hao and a few of them could be fearless and bold and careful. It seems that the strength of the eight reserves in the past few years really cannot be underestimated, and in comparison, our 925 has lagged behind a lot in this aspect. Lieutenant Colonel Huang watched Xing Jie and his party quickly enter the cave and reported the progress to Major General Liu Jianguo via radio.
"Just follow up, this time it's them in the lead, we're just supporting. Memorize commands, all-round support. The grievances between the members must be put aside, and this excavation is very important for us. Under this premise, everything can be sacrificed!" said Major General Liu Jianguo.
Lieutenant Colonel Huang's heart trembled, of course she understood what the meaning of everything could be sacrificed. But why did the organization give such an order? Could it be that the upper authorities already knew what was buried in this place? But since they knew, why did they have to let Xing Jie and them help? Isn't it good for 925 to make a discovery this time?
But at this point in her, she naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask. She has seen a lot of people who have disappeared because of her mouths over the years!
After the lighting equipment was erected, the snow-bright lights illuminated this originally dark world.
Of course, this passage is also completely presented in front of everyone.
Atmosphere.
Two words say it all.
Although there is no luxury of the passage of the Lop Nur underground palace, nor the luxury of the Quiberquin Underground Palace.
But the width of the tunnel is ten meters, and the height is at least five meters, so that everyone who sees it is stunned.
The first thing is that everything is paved with boulders.
This is nothing, but the texture of each boulder can be matched, which is awesome. Compared to this, the dungeons decorated with gold dust seem so insignificant.
Needless to say, the ground was like a boulder, shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, and the top of the corridor decorated with precious stones was omitted. What is so rare about gemstones? The fist-sized square diamond is ruined, have you ever seen it?
But the dragon carvings on the walls on both sides of the corridor are striking.
It is not the kind of carp whiskers, dog nose, horse face, tiger eyes, ox ears, antlers, snake body, eagle claws, and lion mane that Xing Jie saw on the Nine Dragons of the Forbidden City, nor is it the beast-shaped dragon of the Qin and Han dynasties. It's a thing that Xing Jie is very, very familiar with, a mutated python, except that it is still a four-legged Jiao level. The body also began to add a lot of dragon-like elements later. For example, it is no longer a snake's head, and sharp teeth are beginning to appear in its mouth. The tail is no longer a snake tail, and a tail fin is added as a more aesthetically pleasing ornament.
I don't know what people thought at the time, maybe it was because the aesthetics of the times were different. Such a dragon-shaped Xing Jie not only does not look beautiful at all, but it is not as majestic as those dragons in later generations, but it makes people feel a little hideous.
"Stay here, I'll see if there's any creative mechanism first. The uncle said with a smile.
Although he said it lightly, there was no hint of joking on his face.
Although the layout of the mechanism in the ruins of Machu Picchu can be used as a reference, the scale of this place is much larger than there. So God knows what will change in this mechanism.
In particular, he had seen the video of Britta when she eliminated the mechanism of the Holy Lake Ruins, and the practice of changing the mechanism regularly on the four pillars would make a mistake if he was not careful.
Two ruins of the same size are so different, let alone here?
"I bought a watch last year!"
This foul language was not scolded by Xing Jie.
Rather, Lieutenant Colonel Huang, who seemed to have been completely shocked, said.
Originally, I thought that the crossbow bolt was already a very powerful mechanism, but now it seems. This senior, who doesn't know how many years has been dead, is still very lucky. For he may have been shot to death by an arrow at that time, so that he would not have suffered so many sins later.
How many traps can be on a 10-meter-long dragon statue?
This Xing Jie doesn't know.
It was only after the uncle wasted his strength that a giant dragon was completely dismantled, and the dragon whiskers, dragon scales, dragon claws, etc. were all taken down.
At this time, the ten-meter-long dragon was only a skeleton.
You think that's the end of it? Of course not!
After the uncle finished dismantling, he was already tired, and after explaining that he must not approach the bones, he lay on the ground at the entrance and fell asleep!
Demolishing this is too much mental and physical effort.
However, there are always those who are not afraid of death. A 925 soldier with a camera in hand who wanted to photograph the bones walked up in the footsteps of his uncle. However, just as he approached the keel, he was too excited and inadvertently took a step with his feet. With a single snap, the warrior turned into a cloud of blood.
The whole person was instantly smashed into flesh foam by six bones.
There are no bones left!
