"It's not scientific." Biao Zi next to Huzi also let out a breath of turbidity, and asked puzzledly: "According to the visual distance, we are only about fifty kilometers away from that mountain, and we have walked such a long distance, why does it seem that the distance has not changed?" ”

Mu Ge took the stubble and said lightly: "That's because we see the mountain peak, which is reflected by the light in the mist, and the actual distance is probably farther." ”

Biao Zi was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and nodded again and again.

The terrain in Yugu is relatively gentle, and the temperature is relatively high, and many people will have fine beads of sweat on their foreheads when wearing thick warm clothes.

Of course, the temperature is relatively high outside the valley, where the temperature is still in the minus ten degrees Celsius. It's just strange that although the temperature in the valley is low, there is not a single piece of snow in it, not a single ice crystal.

As far as his eyes could see, Zhuo Lei could clearly see that a lot of jade was covered with a thin layer of vegetation, which he knew, some of which were meadows on the plateau, but there were also a few broad-leaved plants, which were obviously not owned by the cold zone of the plateau, at least at least below three thousand meters above sea level.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, looking at these plants scattered everywhere, he couldn't understand why these plants appeared in this place? Soon, however, the plants became inconspicuous.

"What are these white flowers?"

"Skeletons! That's a lot of bones! There was a brief commotion in the ranks.

Zhuo Lei also noticed this, on the open ground, many places were full of white bones, and many of the bones had been covered with vegetation, thinking that it was because of the nutrients of the corpses that these plants could grow.

He was amazed in his heart, the Jade Valley was in a cold and dry area, and it was not easy for corpses to rot, and these bones did not know how many years they had existed in these places before they would decay into such a state.

Soon, another team member discovered that in addition to the corpses, there were also a large number of weapons on the ground. Most of the weapons are bronze and stone products, and most of the stone tools are jade products, which are sharpened jade spears and jade axes.

Bronze weapons were badly decayed, and Zore believed that they had been around for a long time, and there were many impurities, so they were badly decayed.

"There's been a war here!" Muge said slowly.

After half an hour of confirmation, he and Huzi had found nearly three hundred skulls that had not completely decayed, and this was only a small fraction of the countless skeletons.

"Almost all of these people died in battle!" Biaozi examined some bones and found that many of the corpses had traces of fracture in the vital parts of the bones, and at the same time found some corroborative evidence from the corpse's lying position, and made his own judgment.

He even found a small piece of metal on top of a bone.

"Why would someone start a war in this place, is it for the sake of fighting for jade mines?" He looked a little confused.

He then continued: "These men have been dead for at least a thousand years, and in this environment, judging by the degree of decay of the weapons and bones they wield, I am afraid that the age is much older.

In such a place where the ambient temperature is constant for a long time, it is difficult for the corpse to decompose, and in more cases, the possibility of a dry corpse is higher.

Thousands of years ago, although jade can also be said to be a very precious treasure, in the plateau, a piece of jade is probably not as valuable as a barley, what is the use of grabbing it? ”

Zhuo Lei nodded, looked at the mountain peak that was already in sight, and said, "Perhaps, the answer will have to be found there." ”

The half of the mountain was still silent in the distance. But after everyone got close to it, they realized that this mountain peak was so huge and majestic.

What is strange is that when you look at this mountain from a distance, you can see a part of the circumference, but one side is a cliff, which looks thrilling.

Like the peak, it was as if part of it had been cut off by the gods with a sharp weapon.

That's not all, the most strange thing is that the surrounding of the mountain peak is surrounded by clouds and mist, and countless clouds and mist are rolling around the mountain peak, looking like a legendary fairy mountain from a distance. But in the depths of the clouds, the darkness that is revealed from time to time makes people's hearts palpitate.

A large number of skeletons were found, and the atmosphere in the team became a little tense. In the face of so many corpses, everyone couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Although Zhuo Lei explained that these skeletons have existed for thousands of years, and the humans who participated in the war have been washed away by the torrent of time and only a pile of bones remains.

But soon, his mood was the same as everyone else, and he began to have a little solemnity. Because along the way, not only human bones were found, but also the bones of many other animals.

Except for Master Ula and the little girl Yushan, who could still maintain a rare calm, the rest of the people were slightly hesitant to move forward.

"Miss Yushan, I see that you don't look like a person from Tibet, and you are also learning Taoist methods, but why do you worship Master Ula as a teacher, but it makes me curious." Lao Suo Sun Miao saw that Ula and Chu Jiu were in front of him, and they were separated from each other, and finally asked the doubts in his heart.

Yushan glared at him coldly, and in this way chose to shut him up.

The other side.

Among the animal bones scattered from the jade valley, Biao Zi didn't look like a rough man, but his understanding of living things was incomparable to anyone, and he looked at these bones and was speechless for a long time.

"Speak", Mu Ge's eyes widened, pulling Biaozi back to reality.

"These creatures are all extinct species in the world today." He exhaled and spoke slowly.

From it, he guessed that there was a desolate aura in the jade pile, which was probably the skull and tusks of the ancient giant mammoth.

There are also some animals whose body bones have been reduced to ashes, but a piece of jaw bones covered with fine teeth has been left behind, according to his judgment, this should be a carnivore in the era of dinosaurs, or the notorious velociraptor in various science fiction movies.

Zhuo Lei could clearly tell that the appearance of these animal carcasses was not an accidental phenomenon, and it could be seen from the surroundings that these animals had been tamed and put into battle. But from the side, there is also a problem reflected in it.

Whether it is a mammoth or a dinosaur, in the history of letters, it is impossible for an animal to appear at the same time as humans, but such a combination appeared in this jade valley.

The appearance of mammoths, he can still accept, after all, the extinction of mammoths is only tens of thousands of years ago in the Xiaoice River period, fortunately some of them survived in the plateau area and were tamed by humans, although this reason is far-fetched, but it can still be said.

But dinosaurs? Are you kidding! What does it mean for a species that became extinct tens of millions of years ago to appear here?

"Big brother, look ahead", Huzi was bored, looking around with a telescope, and suddenly the situation in front of him immediately attracted him.

Hearing this, Zhuo Lei looked up into the distance, only to see some gray-black shadows in the hazy place in the distance, which was not clear. He quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and his breathing suddenly stopped!

"People"! Muge picked up another telescope and looked in the direction Huzi was pointing.

I saw a large circle of "humans" near the mountain peak, and these "humans" were dark green, but they stood still, like loyal guards.

"That's not a person!" Zhuo Lei only glanced at it, and then made his own judgment: "It's a figurine"!

Indeed, in terms of shape, those are human figures, but these will never be living people, they can only be figurines shaped according to the appearance of human beings, just like the terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

But he was deeply shocked, those figurines, the number is too huge! As far as the eye could see, Zhuo Lei had estimated that there were close to three hundred, but there were many more hidden behind and around these figurines!

As a rough estimate, there are at least 10,000 figurines! Dense, like a forest. The scene in front of me can no longer be described as spectacular.

He only felt that his mind was a little cloudy, and at this time he had no time to think about who the maker of these figurines was, he was only thinking, what is the significance of these figurines surrounding the front of this half of the mountain?

"It feels like jade figurines", Mu Ge calmed down, and as his eyes swept over the figurines, he was attracted by the dark green color on their bodies that shimmered with a faint sheen. Linked to the most materials in this jade valley, he immediately broke the material of these figurines.

After walking for about half an hour, the team had already walked to the figurines, and Mu Ge studied the texture of the figurines for a moment, and sure enough, they were jade, and most of them were made of green jade and black jade.

But Zhuo Lei's expression froze. What he noticed was not the texture of the figurines, but the knife technique of the figurines and the appearance of the figurines, which were the things he paid the most attention to.

When he got closer, he found that the jade figurines were a little taller than he estimated, with an average of nearly four meters, but the carving and polishing method was very rough, with only a few brushstrokes, and a rough outline of the human body was excavated, and the lines of the clothes on the body were not even carved.

But at a glance, the desolate and simple taste emanating from the jade figurines is even stronger.

The jade figurines are arranged in a ring, forming a circle, and they are densely packed inside, and the number is huge, blocking the way of the mountain peak in front, like the guard of the mountain peak.

Roughly estimated, this place is still a few kilometers away from the peak, and in the range of these kilometers, countless jade figurines are towering.

The peak is not high, about three or four hundred meters, at this time the clouds and mist are shrouded, and it is difficult to see the face, but when they see the true face of the peak, everyone can't help frowning.

Seeing this mountain peak from a very long distance does not seem to be much different from what you see up close, but it is clearer and the mountain looks more majestic.
