Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Burial of Bones 2 (I)

Chen Badai took the lead, Xia Ruobing's knee hindered her movement, she fell behind, Wang Xingguo and Sherpa had to help her across the pile of rubble that hindered her movement.

The faint flashlight light diffused a little farther away, and he couldn't see the four walls of the passage, Chen Badai tried hard to extend his gaze into the darkness, in order to save electricity, he didn't dare to turn on the strong light at this time, and vaguely saw that the passage was coming to an end.

"Quick, the front is empty!" Chen Badai urged, and quickened his pace again.

"Click!" Chen Badai seemed to have stepped on something, and there was a crisp cracking sound under his feet, Chen Badai looked down and almost screamed.

Chen Badai stepped on a corpse bone, the dry and fragile leg bones were broken by him, and he didn't care about it so much, Chen Badai turned on the flashlight and shouted: "A lot of corpse bones!" ”

This is a hall that is not too big, the highest point is about ten meters, but the low place is less than three meters, the area is about a few hundred square meters, there is no artificial carving here, the ground is scattered with the bones of white flowers, in the place where the light of Chen Badai's flashlight flickered, at least dozens of human skeletons and skeletons were seen.

The cave was also badly damaged, the stones and bones that fell from the roof of the cave were mixed together, the cave seemed to have a few natural stone pillars, but they also collapsed and shattered, the roof of the cave hung alone with broken stones, scattered stones of different sizes, one stone wall was pushed down by great force, and the fallen stones and earth covered half of the stone chamber.

"This ...... It is the first time that such a well-preserved skeleton has been found. Sherpa picked up a thigh bone, which was still very well preserved, and as far as the eye could see, the skeleton of this place, except for the part of the bones that were easy to disappear, the hard skull, mandible, femur, and even the ribs were basically preserved, and the rest of the place was almost only teeth.

"Mr. Xia, this ...... You're in geology, this ...... What's going on? Chen Badai didn't understand the situation at all, looking at a mess of the ground, as if he had fought a war, rubble and bones scattered all over the place, he tried his best to restore the layout in his mind, this stone room is approximately circular, and there are several natural stone pillars to support, the layout can be regarded as very neat, a little carving will become an underground palace.

But before it could be carved, it was destroyed, the hard hematite was shaken down, the stone pillars were twisted and collapsed, and the cave wall on the east side collapsed and was badly damaged, which must not have been done by man.

"Earthquake! There have been earthquakes here. Sherpa looked around and said in affirmation.

"No wonder this underground complex has been ruined so many places." Wang Xingguo understood, so that he could explain why it took so much effort to dig the sun burial under the coffin mountain, but it was later abandoned.

"But...... If it is really the place where the Loulan people bury people, even if there is an earthquake, will they not come to worship their ancestors again? And also...... How did these skeletons come from? Chen Badai felt that Sherpa would be wrong.

"This earthquake is not recent, at least hundreds of years old, but the bones are new...... It won't be more than a dozen years......" Sherpa said, looking carefully at a bone that was largely intact.

Wang Xingguo picked up a leg bone, looked at it carefully, and looked up again: "There are many small tooth marks on the bones, these corpses were eaten, Sherpa is right, something brought the corpse here after the earthquake, and then ate it." ”

"You mean...... Someone ate the dead? Hungry for nothing? Chen Badai felt a chill down his spine, his hair was opened, what could make people eat so clean? In Chen Badai's mind, there is only one thing - gluttony!

But gluttony is just a legendary beast, only eaten and not pulled, but here...... Chen Badai knocked on his head, feeling that his head was not enough.

Wang Xingguo turned on the flashlight, brightened, and the light shone on Sen Bai's leg bones, this corpse should not have been discarded here for more than 5 years, the yellowing of the surface is not serious, the two ends of the femur have disappeared, and the dense tooth marks can be clearly seen on the bones, these tooth marks are very neatly distributed, and there are many shallow circular holes between the tooth marks, as if a small notch was gently made in the bone with electric rotation, Wang Xingguo checked the other parts again, and found that the hardest part of the bone was basically preserved, The rest of the cartilage and joints are basically gone, and the spine is not much left, and there are tooth marks and small round holes everywhere, as if countless small drill bits have drilled through the spine, and according to the density of such tooth marks, every trace of the muscle that was originally attached to the bone has been scraped off.

"Rodents?" Wang Xingguo muttered to himself, but then overturned his own idea.

Rodents are omnivores, but their protein food mainly comes from insects, earthworms, etc., and the meat consumption is very rare, and it is even more unheard of to move carcasses here to eat. Moreover, judging from the spacing of the tooth marks, if it is a rodent, it will be a little too small, and the bite will not be so clean.

"Shall we continue to study bones here, or shall we hurry up and chase Mr. Min?" Chen Badai spoke, just now in order to see the situation here, he turned on the strong light gear, at this time the light of the flashlight slowly dimmed, and the battery power was not much.

"Let's go, find Mr. Min and talk about it." Sherpa placed the skull in his hand on a stone, folded his hands and bowed, "Bless us with all the best." ”

"Mr. Xia, when did you become superstitious?" Chen Badai said sarcastically.

"The heavens and the earth are great, and the dead are great!" Sherpa replied, I don't know if this skeleton that has been dead for an unknown period of time can bless him, but it is necessary to find some psychological sustenance for himself.

"Or are you begging him to get us a few batteries?" Chen Badai muttered.

As soon as the words fell, the last trace of light on the flashlight in Chen Badai's hand went out, and Chen Badai patted the flashlight in annoyance, but it didn't react at all.

"Hurry up! No battery! Chen Badai was very irritable, his voice became louder, and he couldn't find the grave no matter how hard he cried!

Chen Badai's voice seemed to have alarmed something, Sherpa had just taken two steps to catch up, when he heard a "snap" behind him, and when he looked back, the skull that had been placed on the stone just now fell to the ground and split into several pieces, staring at him with empty eyes.

Sherpa felt a burst of sweat hair stand on end, Xia Ruobing turned on the headlamp in time, and with a little light, Sherpa finally felt at ease, but Xia Ruobing's head light line was not too bright, and the cave was shrouded in blur, and there were piles of white bones around the diffuse light, which made people feel very bad.

"Here, hurry up!" Chen Badai found the only passage and was about to get into it, when he suddenly retreated again and again, slipped on a skull with one foot, and almost hit his head on a stone.

"Ghost ...... Ghost...... Ghost...... Ah......h
