Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 127 Living Stone Statue
Bai Yang hurriedly comforted Ma Bingxiao, squatted down, and gently helped Chen Xiaopang rub the place where his back was poked by the stone spear.
Chen Xiaopang was a little uncomfortable and said, "It's okay, don't rub it!"
Poplar was not reluctant, so he turned his head and looked at the stone statues on both sides.
Ma Bingxiao also looked at those stone statues, and after a while, his voice became astringent and he asked with difficulty: "Lao Bai, why did you say that these stone statues became alive......?" What kind of monster is this?"
"Probably not!" Poplar shook his head, "this is supposed to be an ancient mechanism! I guess these statues are hollow inside, with mechanisms in them that animate them. The joints of the stone statue are also separated, but they are polished smoothly and tightly, so they look the same as the whole. ”
"This is a stone statue from 2,000 years ago, at that time, was technology so advanced? Even now, it is impossible to make a machine that can still move autonomously after more than 2,000 years, right?" Ma Bingxiao exclaimed with wide eyes.
Bai Yang didn't answer him directly, but turned his face and asked Chen Xiaopang: "Senior Brother Chen, what do you think?"
"I think what you said makes sense!" Although Chen Xiaopang still refused to give Bai Yang a smile, he nodded in agreement, "Many things in ancient times are difficult to explain with modern science, and I don't know how the ancients made them, which is also the most fascinating part of archaeology!"
"So what should we do now?" asked Ma Bingxiao.
"I must go to the other side, but the stone statues on these two sides are very troublesome!" Chen Xiaopang frowned.
Poplar looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "The three of us carry this wooden pillar and rush along one side of the wall, and rush all the stone statues on this side of the wall, so that we can reach the other side?"
Chen Xiaopang turned his head to look at him, then looked down at the wooden pillar under his feet, his face suddenly showed bitterness, and said: "I now know why the teacher chose you to be the group leader, not only because you have high martial arts, but also because you are indeed smarter than most people!"
Bai Yang didn't expect him to praise so straightforwardly, and couldn't help scratching his scalp and said, "I'm just thinking about it, I don't know if the three of us can afford this wooden pillar, and I don't know if we can knock over the stone statue!"
"I must be able to carry it, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stop it from crashing into me with a shovel! Although I don't know if this stone statue can be knocked over, there is always a feasible way!"
"I think it should be able to be knocked over! These stone statues are not very big, and besides, you said that they are all hollow, so they must not be too heavy!" Ma Bingxiao said.
"Then let's try it!" said Poplar, already bending down and trying to roll the wooden pillar.
"You're the tallest, and walking in front will block the view of the two of us, so you walk in the back, and I'm in the front!" Chen Xiaopang said.
Poplar naturally has no objections.
The three of them all squatted down, and with great effort, they finally carried the wooden pillar on their shoulders.
But the length of the wooden pillar was less than three meters, and there had to be a section in front of it for impacting the stone statue, and if the three of them were all carrying the wooden pillar, they would not even be able to take a step forward.
In the end, it was agreed that Bai Yang and Ma Bingxiao would carry the wooden pillar to the stone statue, and Chen Xiaopang would follow with a shovel to protect it.
However, the first stone statue on the left and right sides was too close to the side, and there was no room for the wooden pillars to hit it smoothly.
Chen Xiaopang took a risky step and took a few steps closer to the big lobster on the right.
The big lobster started again, waved the stone handle with the broken knife head, and swept towards Chen Xiaopang.
Chen Xiaopang took a few steps back, but the stone statue on the left followed and stabbed him in the back again.
However, Chen Xiaopang had already taken precautions, and shouted while dodging: "Soldier, turn around hard!"
Ma Bingxiao immediately carried the wooden pillar to make a horizontal circle, and the poplar behind followed the direction of rotation on the spot.
The pillar swept past and slammed into the back of the great lobster.
After all, the stone statue was just a dead thing, looking fierce, in fact, it would not retreat and dodge, and it was suddenly hit with a "bang" and fell directly to the ground.
Chen Xiaopang quickly retreated, clinging to the middle of the wooden pillar, avoiding the sweep of the wooden pillar, but another stone statue poked at it with a stone spear in his hand.
The stone statue was just a dead thing, and it shouldn't have been aimed at attacking, but I don't know if it was purely a coincidence, and that shot just poked at Ma Bingxiao's waist.
Ma Bingxiao couldn't dodge carrying the wooden pillar, and if the wooden pillar wanted to sweep the stone statue, Ma Bingxiao must have been shot in the waist first.
Frightened, Ma Bingxiao shouted loudly, Chen Xiaopang took a step forward, picked up the shovel again, and slashed towards the stone spear.
only heard the sound of "click", the stone gun was not very thick, and the head of the gun was split by Chen Xiaopang, although the gun was still poked, but it could no longer touch Ma Bingxiao's body.
Ma Bingxiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior Brother Chen saved me again!"
Chen Xiaopang said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up to the corner of the wall on the left, and rush forward to the next stone statue!"
Ma Bingxiao agreed, but the second stone statue was still relatively close, Ma Bingxiao pasted it to the left corner of the wall, and the front section of the wooden pillar was already next to the stone statue, not only did he not have the strength to knock over the stone statue, but instead caused the stone statue to start, holding two stone knives in his claws, and slashing at the wooden pillar one after another.
Of course, it couldn't cut the wooden pillar, but the wooden pillar was heavy enough, and then it was chopped again and again, and the poplar was not good, but Ma Bingxiao in front of him was a little shaky and couldn't support it.
In addition, the stone statue was chopping and walking at the same time, and Ma Bingxiao's head would be cut off in two more strokes.
Ma Bingxiao was screaming in fright, Chen Xiaopang was short, drilled under the wooden pillar, and went to the side of the stone statue next to the wall on the right.
This collision used up all the strength of his body, and actually knocked the stone statue to stagger two steps, Ma Bingxiao took the opportunity to use the wooden pillar to top his head against the stone statue, and shouted: "Lao Bai, I shout one, two, three, let's run forward!"
Bai Yang agreed, and as Ma Bingxiao shouted "one, two, three", the two of them ran forward, and the stone statue was pushed back two steps by the wooden pillar, and finally fell to the ground with a "bang".
The third and fourth stone statues were also activated at this time, wielding weapons and twisting towards Poplar and the others.
Although these stone statues do not aim, they seem to be able to sense the direction of power transmission, so when each stone statue is activated, it will naturally face Poplar and the others.
Bai Yang and Ma Bingxiao rushed forward with all their might, knocking down the third to sixth stone statues on the right side in a row.
But there are nine stone statues on each side, the poplar in the back is slightly better, and Ma Bingxiao in front is exhausted, and when he hit the seventh stone statue, although the stone statue was knocked over, he also fell to the ground with weak feet.
Fortunately, Baiyang rushed forward in a hurry and did not let the wooden pillar slip off his shoulder, otherwise the wooden pillar would fall down, and Ma Bingxiao would be seriously injured if he did not die.
What's even more dangerous is that as they knocked over several stone statues, the stone statues on the left were all activated, brandishing weapons and quickly approaching to the right.
Chen Xiaopang saw that the situation was wrong, said hello to the poplar, pushed the wooden pillar with both hands, and threw the wooden pillar to the left with the poplar.
I only heard the sound of "bang and plop", and the two stone statues on the left were also knocked over by wooden pillars.
Bai Yang didn't care about pulling up Ma Bingxiao on the ground, but shouted: "How are you, soldier?" and picked up a stone knife from the ground, raised his hands, and swung it towards a stone stick that swept over.
There was a "flutter" sound, and the stone knife and stone rod broke at the same time, although the stone statue was still showing its teeth and claws, but there was a small short stone stick left in the claw, which was basically no longer threatening.
At the same time, Chen Xiaopang picked up the shovel and split the weapon held in the claws of another stone statue.
But there were still four stone statues blocking the way, and it was still difficult for them to rush through.
Bai Yang hurriedly looked down at Ma Bingxiao, but saw Ma Bingxiao crawling over the seventh stone statue that was knocked down, and actually hugged one of the thick legs of the eighth stone statue on the right with both hands, and pulled it up with all his might.
Each of the stone statues weighed hundreds of kilograms, and it was unlikely that Ma Bingxiao would be able to move them in normal times, but at this moment he might have been angry in his heart, he was simply like a god possessed, and he actually tilted the stone statue slightly.
Poplar dodged the attack of the other stone statue, picked up a stone fork from the ground, and stabbed it violently at the stone statue with the fork.
The stone statue had been twisted by Ma Bingxiao, and then poked by the poplar, and suddenly fell crookedly, just hitting the ninth stone statue, and the ninth stone statue "Bang La La" fell together.
Bai Yang took the opportunity to pull Ma Bingxiao, dodged sideways from the attack of a stone statue on the left, and jumped to the corner of the wall in front of him.
Ma Bingxiao jumped over and turned his head to see Chen Xiaopang, who was dodging the attack of a stone statue, rolling on the ground and rolling directly to the feet of the two of them.
Bai Yang took a step forward, helped Chen Xiaopang up, and asked urgently, "Senior Brother Chen is okay?"
"It's fine!"
Chen Xiaopang gasped and sat up.
The three of them looked at each other with palpitations, then at the stone statue on the right that had fallen to the ground, and at the stone statue on the left that was retreating to its original position, and suddenly laughed together.
Fighting with a stone monster like this, even Chen Xiaopang encountered it for the first time.
Although horror is not particularly terrifying, thrilling is a rare thrill.
If it weren't for the idea of knocking over the stone statues with wooden pillars, it would have been even more difficult to avoid the attack of these eighteen stone statues safely.
But the three of them also ran out of strength, so they could only sit in the corner of the wall and rest for half the weather, Ma Bingxiao said: "These stone statues are priceless in my opinion, if you can figure out why they can move independently, not only in the archaeological community, but even in the natural physics community will cause a great sensation!"
"Yes, but it's very likely that once you leave this place, these stone statues will never be able to move again!" Chen Xiaopang said.
"Why is this happening?" Ma Bingxiao immediately asked.
Chen Xiaopang shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is also something that modern science can't explain!"
