Chapter 66: The Jungle of Terror
"Just like the wives and concubines of wealthy men in the ancient Central Plains, the aristocratic women of the Jingjing Kingdom had many husbands waiting for them. In the country of Jingjue, not only is it a noble woman, but even the most moneyless and powerless woman is also the head of the family and has multiple husbands. When a woman gives birth to a child, she takes her mother's surname. And no matter how noble a man is, there can be no woman other than his wife. Ye Tianlong said with a smile.
"You're still a history expert." Tian Qing said with a smile.
"I love archaeology, the country of refinement is small, but it is a mysterious country. No archaeologist has yet known their condition.
When 'Tanyin' broke into the ruins of the ancient city, he was puzzled by the qiē in front of him: passages of Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit and elegant language, Chinese wooden tablets, etc. There are also pottery, bronze mirrors, gold earrings, copper rings, copper seals, copper arrowheads, buckles, ironware, glass, shellware, crystal beads, woodware, lacquer fragments, and various fabrics.
There are also rat traps, boot irons, bows and arrows, wooden shields, red willow pens, six-stringed pianos, cutlery, etc., which even Stein can't believe can be real, and they come from ancient relics nearly 2,000 years ago in the barren desert.
Stein's government offices, Buddhist temples, dwellings, stables, kiln sites, furnaces, orchards, mulberry groves, ancient bridges, fields, canals, cisterns, cemeteries and other relics were also unexpectedly displayed in front of Stein's eyes.
This is the mystery of the Elite Country. Moreover, there are more legends about the Absolute Queen. There are even writers who make up that she is not a human being, but a snake demon or something. Ye Tianlong said with a smile.
Several people cautiously entered the weedy jungle and mosquito-infested area.
Because there is water, there are abundant aquatic plants and the trees are taller. A smell of moisture and mildew came to my nose. There is no road at all, and if you step on it, you can sink into your knees, and even accidentally fall into a pit of dead leaves and moldy leaves. There was a strange smell like a mist in the whole woods, which made people feel a little chill down their backs, and it was as if there were small insects crawling on their backs.
Because they were worried about miasma or mildew in the woods, everyone put a simple gas mask on their noses. This nasal mask is also a contribution from the experts of the A group of Koneng group. It is similar to the nose and mouth used by divers to plug their noses, the size of the nose, simple and convenient, and does not affect people's activities.
However, don't underestimate such a gas nose mask, one will cost hundreds of thousands, and it is not available on the market. Because the material for making zuò nose masks is too difficult to see, it is difficult to meet the needs of domestic special forces in large quantities.
The more you go, the more careful you become.
However, at this moment, Ye Tianlong's feet tilted, and his whole body sank into the pile of dead leaves as if he had been pulled by something. It was so fast that it looked like there was an elevator down there.
Xiao Qiang turned around with a 360-degree speed, reached out and grabbed Ye Tianlong's arm and lifted it up, there was a screeching sound below, and a small piece of Ye Tianlong's foot skin went away. Moreover, the special leather boots have been torn apart by something sharp.
Tian Qing and Tang Jun hurriedly swept the dead leaves out with iron rods, and a musty smell rose up, revealing a pit.
In the pit, there were several rusty black iron forks, dotted with yellow dots on them. And the iron fork has terrible spikes and barbs.
"It's dangerous, this should be a trap installed by the hunters of the Ancient Spirit Country. If it weren't for the quick reaction of the evil god, you would have been scrapped if you fell in and poked your whole leg with a spike. Tang Jun wiped the beads of sweat on his face and said.
"It's been more than 2,000 years and it's not rotten, it's still so sharp, and it's in such a humid environment, what iron can withstand it, how is it possible?" Zhao Heng was a little puzzled about this.
"It's weird, even if it's not rotten, it shouldn't be very powerful. If you step on our special boots, it will probably be broken or ruined. Our boots are fine even if they are kicked directly on the wood. Xie Jianxia was also a little skeptical.
"It's not surprising, because this so-called trap was planted by a master. And, most likely, it was not used to catch animals, but for another reason. Xiao Qiang took a look at it.
"How so?" Xie Jianxia asked.
"Look at the bottom of the pit." Xiao Qiang said.
Everyone looked down, and Zhao Heng shouted, "There are still human bones, and there seems to be a broken gun." ”
Everyone became interested, and it was dug up soon after being driven by Xie Jianxia. It was found that the pit was still quite large, about two meters wide, and there should have been some cover on it, but now it is estimated that it is also rotten.
Liu Jianxia slashed at the rusty iron forks with an iron rod, and with a bang, the iron forks were still not broken.
"So hard, so powerful!" Zhao Heng shouted.
"See why?" Xiao Qiang asked.
"Could it be that these iron forks were originally magic weapons used by martial arts masters?" Liu Jianxia woke up.
"Magic weapons, used to catch things, that's too extravagant, isn't it?" Mi Hong said.
"Let me tell you, this trap is probably a conspiracy, set up against a certain master. These iron forks are definitely magic weapons, and the quality is much better than the iron rods made of stainless steel in our hands. Otherwise, for more than 2,000 years, the strong man of the six-story building of the cabbage flower, what kind of rotten iron can withstand with a stick. Xiao Qiang said, carefully cleaning out the bones scattered in the ground.
"It must have been a man's bone, and the entire chest and abdomen were pierced and barbed by the iron fork. It was too old, and the bones fell apart and fell into the pit. Zhao Heng said.
Xiao Qiang put down the spear beside the skeleton that was made of green rust copper, and said, "I have found a treasure, this gun is actually an authentic inferior magic weapon." Moreover, it is made of copper alloy, and after more than 2,000 years, it is still preserved with 'seven points' complete. Take it back and ask the master to practice it again, and it will be a good gun. ”
Xiao Qiang unceremoniously put the bronze gun in his backpack.
"This skeleton has a magic weapon in hand, and it must also be a martial arts cultivator, and the level is not low. Who is going to plot against him? Moreover, how could such a master fall into this pit and be killed by an iron fork? If it were you and me, it would be difficult to kill us in this pit. At most, it was injured, but it was still able to climb up. Xie Jianxia is interested.
"Will there be poison in the pit or something that makes the master faint on the spot, and he will die after the blood runs out." Zhao Heng said.
"Hehe, it's not poison that killed you. If my guess is right, this thing should have killed him. However, the thing was also injured. Xiao Qiang smiled, exerted his strength, and slashed down, and soon, a bone was exposed.
"Snake bones, the bones of pythons. It's so big, the snake is probably as big as the mouth of the bowl. Ye Tianlong looked at it and said.
"Understood, it should be a python raised by a person who plotted. The snake tripped the master and ended up falling into the pit. And a section of the python's snake body was interrupted by the master. However, the master also fell and died in it. Xie Jianxia said.
"The analysis is so accurate, I'll give you these broken stones." Xiao Qiang dug out a few broken stones from under the snake bone, and the stones were blue. Xiao Qiang threw the largest piece of egg-sized gravel to Xie Jianxia. The rest of the team was given a small piece the thickness of their thumbs.
