Chapter 149: Anna Sum of the Celestial Gods (Part II)
"Team Leader Xia, I have always thought that you are a good student and a moral model, how can you talk about stealing you more actively than us?" Chen Badai said with a smile.
"There's a little devil living inside of everyone!" Xia Ruobing smiled gloomily. In Chen Badai's eyes, Xia Ruobing at this time was a little devil with two horns on his head, holding a small steel fork and a small tail.
"Hey...... Women are really changeable......" Chen Badai sighed.
"Okay, let's do the math, then get some sleep, and go steal the satellite phone as soon as it gets dark." Xia Ruobing didn't want to worry about Chen Badai, so she took the initiative to propose.
The plan is to take advantage of the characteristics of Crussell to sleep very dead, sneak back to Marumatsu at night, find Crusell, and take the satellite phone from him while he is sleeping, the backup plan is that if he is still awake, Crusell's satellite phone will generally be placed in the bag, and then Xia Ruobing will attract his attention, Wang Xingguo will start, and after he succeeds, he will evacuate, communicate with the outside world tomorrow, call for rescue, and cook raw rice to maturity, at that time, Crussell can't withdraw if he wants to. After the plan was drawn up, the day was not a good time to do the stealing, so everyone decided to sleep well and wait for it to sneak in secretly after dark.
β¦β¦
Tchaikov was still hiding in the woods, his men were all lurking masters, even Wang Xingguo did not notice that they had been following, seeing that the expedition was divided into two factions, and the scouts in front reported: "They are separated. β
"Oh?" Tchaikov was a little surprised, "Where are the Indian tyrants and Min?" β
Tchaikov was more worried about Sharjah's movements, because the information he had in his hands was what he wanted most.
"They're staying together, in that cemetery."
Well, then everything is settled, as for the others, it would be best to be the target of the cannibals, Tchaikov knows Mr. Min and Sharjah Jean better, as long as they are threatened, they will obediently comply.
"Tchaikov, do you need to act?" One of the team members asked.
"No!" Tchaikov took out the vodka from the ammunition bag, "Rest, talk about it in the evening!" β
Crussell made up his mind to go his own way, returned to Kerry's side and asked, "Is there any progress?" β
"That's not right...... Wrong...... It shouldn't be called Marumatsu...... Marumatsu is a form of sacrifice...... Not...... The place where Marumatsu is held is called Amarak...... The stone platform...... It's called Amarachru...... They brought the body to Amarak and placed it on Amarakrus, summoning the arrival of the Holy Spirit Messenger to bring the souls of the ancestors to heaven......" Kerry didn't listen to what Crussell was saying at all.
"It doesn't matter if it's Marumazu or Amarak, I'm going to make progress now! Progress ......" Crossell was angry and yelled at Kerry.
"The messenger of the transparent gods...... Not...... It is a window to communicate with the gods...... Its eyes radiated a dazzling light that pierced the sky...... "Kerry is still immersed in his own world.
"What does this mean by communicating with the gods?" Crussell asked.
"Hmm...... Yes...... It should be......"
"Should? Kerry, you can't let me go back with a big rock and tell the buyers that this is an antique from ancient times! I want conclusive proof! "Crussell is running out of patience.
"Hey...... Dude, you should come and see here......" While Crussell and Kerry were battling, Sharjah had nothing to do around and found something new.
"What is it?" Crussell asked impatiently.
"Well, less than a hundred meters down there, there's a forest...... There are many ...... in the woods Something you didn't expect. "Kerry sold a pass.
"What the hell is it?!" Crossel yelled, he was in a bad mood right now.
"Uh...... If my guess is correct, it's the legendary Annasum......" Sharjah Rang was startled and said quickly.
"Anna Sum?!" When Kerry heard the word, he stood up at once and grabbed Sharjah's hand, "Where?" Let me check it out! β
"What is going on here?" Crussell shouted, but Kerry turned a deaf ear and ran out after him.
"Damn, if I didn't need you, I would have wanted to shoot you with one shot!" Crussell scolded and followed.
"Dangdang! I'm right......" Sharjah Jean said smugly, and Kerry stared at everything in front of him dumbfounded.
This wood, which is close to the west of the land of Marumazu, looks different from the jungle from the outside, but when you enter it from that inconspicuous path, you can feel a strange cold.
Trees that are more than thick for one person to hug are basically here, and some trees even require two or three people to hug each other, and the trees are not the point, the point is that the things on the trunk make people shudder.
Kerry was bold enough to get closer to a tree, and when he looked closer, he felt a strong breath of death - the trunk had been chiseled into a hole about 150 centimeters high, 50 centimeters wide, and 40 centimeters deep, and in the hole was a standing corpse wrapped in sackcloth, tied to the hollow with ropes made of rattan, his hands folded in front of his chest, but his head was looking up to the sky, the corpse's eyes were half-squinted, half of its face had rotted to reveal its bones, and the other half of its face had shriveled muscles and stuck to the bones, which was creepy.
Crussell was also shocked, and only said after a while: "This is a tree burial?" β
"No...... I don't think it's a tree burial...... Well, all the corpses here are women...... And it's a young woman......" said Sharjah, "haven't you always said what they are offering to the gods?" β
Sharjah's words reminded Kerry that he had been going around in circles, and that the so-called Annasum might be a sacrifice, a sacrifice that would make the gods forgive them.
Some of the corpses on the trees should have been stored for a long time, and the trees have healed, and the corpses are wrapped in the trunk, only the part of the head is exposed, and it looks as if the head has grown on the tree, which is even more terrifying.
"Why do you think this is Annasum?" Kerry finally suppressed the horror in his heart and asked.
"Hmm...... There is a stone carving here...... It bears the symbol of Annasum...... "Sharjah Jean brought Kerry to a stone carving, which was more than a man high, apparently with his hands folded in front of his chest, tightly wrapped in cloth, but with his head tilted vertically up to the sky, his mouth exaggeratedly open, and his eyes slightly closed."
Since the words are engraved here, there is nothing to exploreβat least that's what Sharjah Jean thinks.
"Isn't it similar to the corpses in the cave we went to the island? Well, but there's one sitting curled up, and here's one standing......"
"Anna Sum...... Anna Sum ...... This is Annasum......" Kerry screamed like madness, and the man had already pounced on the stone carving, which was carved with pictures, and he was sure that this was the secret of Annasum.
"How's that...... I'm not lying to you. Sharjah Jean said triumphantly.
"But what good is it to us?" Crussell said angrily.
"Calm down...... Crussell, Calm ...... It's a guessing game where you can only guess one riddle in order to solve the next one. Kerry felt that Crosssell didn't know anything about scientific research, and that scientific research was not as simple as outsiders might see, and that it was not enough to look at a microscope in the laboratory and shake a test tube.
"I'm more interested in how these people are embalmed." Kerry leaned over a tree and looked at a corpse wrapped in bark.
"Didn't you say dehydration and then soak in oil......" Sharjah Jean asked.
"No, no, no...... If Marumazu means making the corpse of a man, then Annasum is making the corpse of a woman...... But why don't they place them on stone platforms for the angels to take away, like men, but in trees and caves? Kerry asked.
Crussell is about to collapse, scientific research will always derive from one problem to another, and then the first problem is not solved, and the second problem is derived from other problems, in their opinion, the purpose is not important, it is more important to satisfy their curiosity, or ...... Curiosity!
"Hmm...... And these are young women, no more than 16 years old......" Kerry carefully examined the teeth of a corpse.
"So what?" Crussell asked.
"Don't you think it's strange why there are so many Annasums, and there is not a single old man? Aren't the women in their tribe old? Kerry asked.
Crussey continued, "They were made while they were alive...... Not...... It must be like this......"
Crussell felt a chill rise up his spine......
"There is a record of the production here...... They chose a perfect girl and dedicated her to the gods...... Oh, my God...... She was still alive until she was stuffed into the hollow of the tree...... "Kerry exclaimed, "they are really sacrifices!" β
"This ...... Are you sure? "Crussell thinks it's so inhumane, a living person is starved to death in a tree hole like this!
"But since it's alive...... How can they not rot? Kerry asked curiously.
"Hmm...... These are the annasums of the gods, they are saints who are dedicated to the gods, the highest rite of prayer for forgiveness, and only the transparent girls can be chosen...... Transparent? However, they were praying to the gods, because they could not find the perfect and transparent Annasum, so they could only use ...... Hmmm......"
"Defective?" Kerry thought the word should be good, "Okay, defective...... to give. This is the highest rite they dedicate to God, don't ...... Some are dedicated to the god of the sea, and some are dedicated to the god of the cave...... This place is supposed to be dedicated to the god of the tree...... The land of Annasum, dedicated to the gods, we have not yet found ......"
"Oh my God, Kerry, we're not looking for some Annasum, take this damn information, let's go find the treasure, can you be sure that everything here is the civilization of the ancient times? Do you understand? We're out of time! "Crussell is going crazy, when is it, Kerry is still struggling with these details.
"I finally understand why they didn't attack Angel!" Kerry ignored Crussell's shouting, and felt a rush of panic welling up in his heart when he read it to the end.
