Chapter 140: Lost in the Rainy Night (Sacrifice)
Water had emerged from the notches in the previously cracked walls, and the droplets gradually turned into streams, but there was no sign of breaking through the walls. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yuno said: "The water here seems to be very gentle, so stand in the back." ā
She slammed the iron rod and a large amount of river water poured in, breaking through the heavy walls. The water soon filled the dungeon, reaching their knees. Lin Fan said: "The water level is not deep, but how can there be such a gap in the ground?" ā
Yuno turns on the flashlight and illuminates the wide underground cavern. It was like a naturally formed cave, the entrance was very narrow, and the thick walls were used to separate it, and the water level was getting deeper and deeper, and if they went inside, it didn't reach Lin Fan's thighs, and Xiye had been flooded to the waist and abdomen. After walking about ten meters, the waterway suddenly became open, apparently dug by hand. Yuno shines on the top of the road, like ancient characters.
She said, "Look, what does that mean? ā
Lin Fan said: "It's like some kind of figure, oh, hieroglyphs." Is it Oracle? ā
Yuno said: "Not really. ā
"Only those who are selected will be allowed to enter." The female doctor uttered these words, "This is cuneiform, the oldest script, which is also interspersed with ancient Egyptian script, and probably even more anachronistic." The last few words began to tremble, and her face flares up with sharp pain. Yuno held her steady, "Is your injury okay?" ā
"It's good, IāI'm going to let them taste the pain too." With that, she walked through the door and walked past the inscription.
- Only those who are selected will be allowed to enter.
Yuno always had some bad premonitions, and the water was getting deeper and deeper, and Yuno only had one head left on the water, unable to flow through.
Lin Fan said: "Stop, the water level will definitely get deeper and deeper if it goes on like this, and we can't go blindly anymore." ā
Yuno said: "Take this, I'll swim over and have a look first, I hope I can find a way out." She handed the flare gun to Lin Fan, there were three rounds left, and if it entered the water, it would get wet.
Lin Fan said: "What if you don't come back?" ā
"Then you don't have to wait for me."
Yuno tapped the flashlight, then twisted the battery, wrapped it in his backpack, and dived underwater.
The water was extremely cold, and Xiye pulled his backpack and floated away, watching Lin Fan and them get farther and farther away. Yuno doesn't actually use a flashlight, and her eyesight in the dark night is far beyond that of ordinary people, so she can vaguely see clearly under the water without seeing her five fingers. It's so strange that not far from them is an abyss. It's an open area, and there's no living thing. It is precisely this empty environment that makes people feel that there is a huge pitch-black monster hidden under the water, and it almost rushes up and swallows Yuno in one gulp. Fear of deep water, fear of darkness, fear of the unknown.......
She thought that Lin Fan's right foot was injured, and he was a particularly burly person, so it was impossible to swim over. Yuno didn't swim any further, and saw a pile of rocks nearby, and there seemed to be some miscellaneous items piled up on it. As soon as she came ashore, she felt that something was not right, first of all, the stones...... She retreated into the water in fright. It wasn't a real stone, it was a human skull! There are also some fragmented skeletons, which are layered on top of each other, and they have been built to the bottom of the water more than ten meters deep, which is a pool of ten thousand bones.
Countless people have died here.
Yuno still settled down and walked up to the bone pile. At the top of the bone pile was a raft, made of logs, and the skin had broken at the touch of a dozen years, probably after more than ten years of sedimentation. She could see that the raft was used by people to escape at that time, and there were white bones on the raft. The skeleton was relatively intact, lying on a raft with blank eyes on the roof of the cave. Obviously, this man lived to the end at that time, but he had given up the chance to survive and starved to death here.
What the hell is this place? Yuno guessed in the direction that this should lead to the main hall, which is the bottom of the demon egg.
The raft has been going on for a long time, and those connections have been very unstable, and Yuno has tied all the connections with torn clothes, although she has also seen Lu Qingchen build rafts, but it is the most stable to forget how to tie the knots, so she can only try to give herself some comfort.
She pushed the skeleton away and struggled to push the raft into the water. As soon as the heavy raft fell into the water, it was also stable, and as soon as Yuno jumped up, the raft was still very stable and should be able to bear the weight of three people.
Yuno didn't want to use his hands to paddle in such a terrifying place, so he found a few leg bones in the skeleton, "Guys, you don't need it anyway, why don't you save our lives." She spread the bones of her hands to help her clothes to provide more resistance, and rowed back to Lin Fan and them.
Seeing Xiye rowing over on a raft from afar, Lin Fan's sad face finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but shout, which shocked those people, so he had to wave to her.
"Great, how did you conjure such a raft?"
Yuno said: "Come up first, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a minute and a half longer." ā
Yuno told the two of them what she had seen, and Lin Fan sighed: "This dark river is originally extremely deep, and the bottom is made of human bones, so how many corpses are needed?" Hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands? He suddenly asked Yuno to show him the bones.
"Strange, how the hell did these people die......
He pointed out that there were countless broken bones on the bones, as if they had been wound to death by a python, how could it be that every bone and every place had suffered such a heavy blow?
The female doctor took the broken bone and pondered it for a moment, and said: "Yes, it was entangled by a strong external force, but it was not shattered, so that the bone still maintained its function, but the blood vessels and muscles outside must have been squeezed out, and those people could not move when they died." After hearing this, Yuno thought of the ancient inscription on the top of the river, and woke up in shock, "Do you think this place will be...... A sacrificial hall? ā
The female doctor said, "Possibly." Ahem, ahem....... The ancient Egyptians and the Sumerians had a particularly developed sacrificial culture, which was the invention of two languages. ā
Yuno said: "Maybe they didn't invent those words. ā
"What do you mean?"
"Since there is a combination of ancient Egyptian script and cuneiform script here, there must be an even older culture, the ancestors of these two peoples. All their knowledge and technology came from a common ancestor, the man who carved the inscription at the mouth of the river. ā
The female doctor only refused.
"The Sumerians are 3,000 years old, and ancient Egypt has been changing for 5,000 years, and if this inscription is really their ancestor, then this is ....... Oh my God, this is an amazing discovery. ā
The boat was driving on the river, and Yuno hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, stop rowing." ā
"What's wrong?"
"There seems to be some ....... up front Stuff. "Yuno can't see it clearly, some layered, uneven...... Like mahogany in a swamp. She said, "I can't see it clearly, what about the flare gun?" ā
Lin Fan loaded his ammunition and shot straight ahead.
As the red ball of light slowly descended, the waterway ahead was surrounded by red plants, and the root-like things stretched from the top of their heads to the water, some as slender as arms, others as thick as tripe, and they clearly blocked the way. (To be continued.) )
