After discussing it, a group of people didn't pay attention to the roars that came from time to time in the cave, those humanoid monsters were so huge in size and clumsy in their movements, and they couldn't get through the narrow plank road at all.

Therefore, a group of people can "retreat" generously.

It's just that the roads on the ground, after the erosion of time, have been overgrown with thorns and trees, and it is really difficult to follow the original path gradually.

Fortunately, Meng Zhicheng and the others and the two hunters were all people who had been rolling in the jungle for a long time, so they took the hunting knife in front and reluctantly opened a way according to the instructions of Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong.

It's just that Miao Yi's village was originally on the left to the east, and the road that disappeared has always wanted to go west, which is contrary to Miao Yi's village.

But at this time, no one cares, since they have returned to the normal world, if they want to return to Miao Yi and their village, the big deal is to take a little detour, which is not a big deal, but I heard that I went to see the ruins of the Huanwang fiefdom by the way, and even the three of them were very much in favor of Merlan and Oaker.

Merlan didn't say anything, but Oaker and Kun Bo were mercenaries who were recruited by "Tianxiong", and being mercenaries was originally because of a shortage of money and goods, there were relics to be found, and they could make a small fortune, which was naturally the same as their essential purpose.

Therefore, the two of them not only did not have the intention of leaving immediately, but also helped Meng Zhicheng and others to open the way, and they were extremely diligent.

This road, which had disappeared, was explored by Xu Dong and Qiao Yanxue, and stretched westward along the foot of the cave.

Not far away, Xu Dong and the others found that they had entered a small piece of flat land.

To be precise, this flat land is also a flat land overgrown with thorn trees, but these thorn trees are much smaller than other places, making it clear at a glance that this should have been a small flat land.

In the middle of the flat ground, there is a rectangle about two meters long, black and white stones, purple and black in black places, gray and white in white places, which looks very peculiar and eye-catching.

However, the stone has been tilted from one end to the top by two trees the thickness of a bucket, and perhaps in a few years those two trees will be able to make the stone completely erect.

The lower part of the stone, almost completely covered with moss, but the outline of the stone is completely visible.

Qiao Yanxue looked at it for a while, then pointed to the dark black on the stone and said, "This should be bloodstains, this stone should be the stone platform that was sacrificed at that time." ”

The fat man lay on the stone, curiously pulling the moss, originally wanted to see if this strange black stone would be the legendary black jade, listening to Qiao Yanxue say that this is the sacrificial platform, the black is also soaked in human blood, the fat man suddenly jumped and retreated.

The fat man jumped back to Xu Dong's side, and then whispered to Xu Dong: "Brother Dong, I heard that there are still places of sacrifice in Dafan, which are all extremely evil places, look at this ......"

Xu Dong smiled slightly: "Will there be more evil and terrifying than the place we just walked through?" ”

The fat man was stunned, and nodded involuntarily: "That's the same, evil is invincible, besides, with Brother Dong here, there will be no accidents!" ”

As he spoke, the fat man picked up the mineral water, opened the lid, tilted his head, and drank the little water left in the bottle in one go.

Before, in that peculiar cave, the sun I saw was white and miserable, and I couldn't feel the slightest temperature, but now I came out, but this jungle was stuffy and hot, and if I moved a little, I was sweating profusely, and the fat man was even more thirsty, and the water in this bottle was almost half a mouthful, so you could catch the fat man's thirst.

It's just that Xu Dong looked at the fat man and said seriously: "Don't look at us coming out, there are cracks in the ground in this area, and it is not easy to replenish a large amount of drinking water, fat man, you have to save some drink!" ”

The fat man threw away the empty bottle, and was about to ask Xu Dong for water, but when he heard Xu Dong say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shouted: "Brother Dong, why didn't you say it earlier!" You see, this is good, my bottle of water, not ......"

Mu Siqing handed most of the bottle of mineral water to the fat man, and said in a low voice: "I have drunk it, do you still want it?" ”

The fat man said "um", and a fat hand stretched out, but just after touching the bottle that Mu Siqing was holding, the fat man withdrew his hand again, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Miss Mu, thank you for your kindness, Brother Dong...... He's just scaring me, how can there be no water, right, you should keep this for yourself, and when it comes to the critical time......"

The fat man said that Xu Dong was scaring people, but he asked Mu Siqing to save most of the bottle of water for himself at a critical time, which was obviously a prevarication.

If Mu Siqing did this before Mu Siqing and Zhao Liangdong got engaged, the fat man would naturally take the mineral water without hesitation, and then drink as much as he could.

There is water or not, anyway, the big guys live together and die together, and no one will care, but now, the fat man knows that the current Mu Siqing is no longer the person who can live and die with himself, Xu Dong, Qiao Yanxue and others, not because of Mu Siqing himself, but because Mu Siqing has a fiancé Zhao Liangdong by his side.

This is a kind of helplessness, but also a kind of sadness.

Therefore, after the fat man smiled politely, he simply turned his head to Qiao Yanxue and said, "Sister-in-law, do you still have water over there?" I really haven't drunk enough......"

Qiao Yanxue didn't raise her head, and threw a bottle of mineral water that she hadn't drunk to the fat man.

The fat man took the water, unscrewed the lid, and put it to his mouth, but paused slightly, tilted his head again, smiled again, and said to himself: "I don't seem to be so thirsty anymore, let's keep it......"

After speaking, the fat man twisted the lid of the mineral water bottle back again.

Mu Siqing held most of the bottle of water, staring blankly at the fat man's back, her eyes were full of tears, but Mu Siqing bit her lip desperately, unwilling to let the tears flow out.

Qiao Yanxue looked at the stone that was used as an altar for a while, then stood up, clapped her hands and said to Xu Dong: "It seems that our guess should be correct, not far ahead, at least there will be a gathering point, otherwise, there will be no such altar here." ”

The fat man leaned over and asked, "Sister-in-law, you said that his altar should be like ours, burning incense and worshipping God on weekdays, all pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, right?" ”

Qiao Yanxue shook her head and said with a faint smile: "They use human sacrifice!" ...... the Living"

The fat man's face turned a little pale all of a sudden, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are the same as Brother Dong, bluff me......"

Xu Dong took a breath and said: "Don't say that this is Southeast Asia, it's our side, hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, there were large-scale sacrificial activities, what were they used, fat man, you haven't heard of it......"

In fact, in the feudal dynasties of ancient China, it was not uncommon to use living people to sacrifice, especially some witches and goddesses, and not long ago, the fat man and Bazhu almost became sacrifices.

The fat man just thought that he was almost burned alive, which was very empty-hearted.

Qiao Yanxue clapped her hands again and said, "Okay, don't talk about those useless ones, go over and have a look first." ”

Further on, the road surface is much more obvious, because the road is paved with a very regular layer of stones, and although it looks scattered and uneven now, it is clear that it should have been a wide, smooth and imposing road at that time.

The group walked along the stone road for less than a mile, and a stone city wall about 100 meters long, lying between the two mountains, crawling with vines, appeared in front of them, and the stone road passed through the door hole of the city wall that had collapsed most of them.

"Ring King Fiefdom!" The fat man and the others couldn't help but scream.

Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong and the others stood less than a stone's throw away from the door of the city wall, carefully looking at this long-abandoned city wall, and their mood was really indescribable.

Judging from the remaining battlements, at the beginning of the construction, the city wall of this city was seven or eight meters high, which was higher than the ancient city walls that Xu Dong had seen in ancient times, and the most amazing thing was that almost all the stones used to build the city wall were two meters long, and there were also hemp stones more than one meter wide! It really seems indestructible.

It's a pity that now, this then impregnable city wall is in dilapidation, and huge trees have grown in the cracks.

The fat man took the lead through the doorway and entered the city, only to find that the city should have been a bustling city, but now, all you can see is piles of gravel, trees and weeds, which are far from the imaginary houses.

The fat man, who was originally full of interest, suddenly fell into decline.

――Is there anything valuable to be found in this kind of ruin?

Qiao Yanxue and Xu Dong were the last, talking in a low voice as they walked.

"I can't imagine that such a perfect city will still be reduced to a pile of ruins in the end." Qiao Yanxue said with a sigh.

Xu Dong shook his head and said, "It's very strange that in such an isolated place, there is such a huge city, according to common sense, this is simply impossible!" ”

"How could it be?" Qiao Yanxue smiled and said: "In Burma, Vietnam, Lao, Lao and even India, there are almost all such discoveries in such lofty mountains, such as Angkor Wat, the Queen's Palace, ......."

After a pause, Qiao Yanxue continued: "Even I suspect that the fiefdom of the King of Rings should not have been a place for civilians to live in the first place. ”

"You mean ......"

Qiao Yanxue smiled: "What we encountered, you should know very well, do you remember the legend of 'Brother Thumb' that Angji said?" ”

"That said, this city is basically used to defend against those giant beasts!" Xu Dong said in a lost voice.

"It's very likely!" Qiao Yanxue nodded and said: "Thinking that such a huge city will definitely not be built in the morning and overnight, but from the scale of this city, it should at least gather thousands of people, thousands of people, with the productivity of the agricultural society at that time, how much land would be needed to feed it!" ”

"What do you mean ......" Xu Dong said hesitantly, "this may just be a military fortress of the Cham Dynasty!" ”
