2. The Hunting Conference Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dried Corpses

A door, three people, hanging in the air without support, the picture is very abrupt.

Ziru fumbled by the door for a moment, stretched out his hand and picked back and forth in a recess a few times, there was a rolling sound, the dust fell, the stone door was slowly lifted up, and a musty smell gushed out of the doorway.

The wind slapped his thigh, and said with a look of sudden realization: "Oops, why did I forget to push up." ”

Ziru chirped: "Brother Maofeng, you are really shameless. The protective film is outside, and there is a door opening mechanism, no matter how much you push, it will be the same. ”

Mao Feng said: "Not necessarily. But when he said this, he was obviously not confident.

Canghai looked at the place where people were hiding on the top of the ravine, and then looked at the open stone door, and said, "That person is still peeking, does it really matter?"

Ziru said: "Whether it has a relationship or not depends on his ability." When the stone gate rose to the height of a man, he walked in first.

The sea and the wind had to keep up. Ziru waved his hand and took back the Concentration Bead, and the invisible protective film was like a water curtain, and in the blink of an eye, it filled the gap that had just melted. Canghai said: "It turns out that the protective film will be repaired automatically, so that even if that person wants to come in, there is nothing he can do." ”

Ziru said: "Hmph, just let him watch it outside." ”

Entering the door is a road several meters long, dusty like snow, slightly damp and dark. After passing the corridor, a row of stairs was handed up. Zi Ru just walked up to two levels, and with a snap, he kicked a bulging thing in the thick dust under his feet, and suddenly the mud and dust scattered, revealing a clump of hair.

Ziru jumped to the side in shock, and looked carefully at the hair, but it turned out to be a dried corpse buried in the thick dust that was accidentally kicked out of the earth.

The corpse's body twisted, one of its hands fell two steps away, and he clutched a short sword, which seemed to have been slashed to death several times, and had experienced a lot of pain before dying.

Canghai said: "This person is not used to set up a maze, right?"

Mao Feng said: "Naturally not, this person obviously died in battle, unlike those skeletons outside." ”

Canghai said: "Didn't you say that Emperor Yun sent someone to collect all the corpses on the battlefield, how can there be any here?"

Mao Feng squatted down, pulled out a sign with a knife on the waist of the dry corpse, engraved with the word "Ming", and blurted out: "It's the predecessor of the Ming servant." ”

Canghai said: "Hey, since he is a compatriot who has sacrificed, Emperor Yun shouldn't keep him here." ”

Mao Feng said: "Probably this tower is hidden by magic and protected by protective film, so the person who collected the burial has not been found, or it can't get in." ”

Canghai nodded and said, "It can only be like this." ”

The three dragged the dried corpse and its stump to the wall, fiddled with it, and then each kowtowed as a sign of respect.

Walking up the stairs and reaching the end, the line of sight suddenly opens up, and it turns out to be the space in the center of the tower. But the three of them stood in front of the steps, but they stopped, their expressions full of surprise and solemnity, obviously stunned by the scene before them.

The space in the tower is very wide, there are more than miles in the vertical and horizontal, but the tower wall is damaged, the beams and wood are tilted, and the gravel is broken and gold. Under the dust, corpses were lying everywhere, and the deaths were different, and I didn't know that there were thousands of people. All the corpses were dry and not decomposed. From their shriveled faces, some can even see the expression of the dying moment, whether it is surprise, pain, anger, or fear. It is conceivable that the battle here must have been extremely tragic back then.

Canghai said: "After more than a hundred years, these corpses can still be preserved so well. ”

"The space in the tower is closed, and it is quite dry, and there has been no external interference for many years, but it can be preserved but normal. ”

Canghai said: "Could it be that these are the predecessors of my Rock Country?"

The wind was silent, leaned over and observed the two dried corpses nearby, and suddenly sighed and said, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

Canghai said: "How do you say it?"

Wet Wind reached for the back of one of the corpses, wrenched his belt, and wiped the dirt off the buckle, revealing the words "Imperial Gold".

Canghai said: "Well, it's different from the nameplate of the senior just now. ”

Mao Feng said: "This should be from Jin Liangguo." When the two armies are fighting, it is difficult to distinguish between the melee because of the large number of people, so in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, both sides will wear identification objects. The word 'royal gold' belongs to the Praetorian Guards of the Jinliang Kingdom. ”

Zi Ru said: "Praetorian Guard? That's the team that directly belongs to the emperor." ”

Mao Feng said: "Exactly. This is their elite unit, and each of them is the best in combat effectiveness when they come out individually. ”

Canghai glanced at it and said, "You see, many corpses have this waist ornament. ”

Looking around, sure enough, there are many dried corpses with similar waist ornaments. The three of them walked through the corpses, and the more they looked at them, the more surprised they became. Nine out of ten corpses on the entire tower floor wore the same loincloth.

Canghai said: "Most of the dead are from Jinliang country." ”

Mao Feng was also very puzzled, and said: "When I listened to my father explain the national situation of Jin Liang Country before, he did say so. But if it's really the Janissaries, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and the enemy here is a bit strange. It stands to reason that the elite units will not be so poor. ”

Canghai said: "Probably the predecessors of the tower guard are some masters." ”

Zi Ru said: "To be able to design such a grand formation labyrinth, as well as to hide the entire spiral tower with a protective film, such a variety of means, of course, can be called a master." ”

The three of them circled the field, but saw that the outer wall of the tower had been blown apart in some places, revealing a dark and twisted mezzanine in the middle, which seemed to be cast from some kind of metal. Canghai was surprised: "This tower is tall and reaches into the sky, is it possible that the frame is all made of metal? ”

Mao Feng said: "There is nothing to make a fuss about, if you have seen a real strong man make a move, you know that this is a trivial matter." The imperial city of the past can be split in half, and a mere tower is nothing. ”

Zi Ru said: "The members of the Praetorian Guard basically have the strength of the captain of the guard. Although this layer of metal is strong, it may not be able to withstand the combined attack of these Praetorian Guards. The reason why it can't be pierced is because of the defensive power of the outer protective film. ”

Canghai stretched out into the mezzanine, and saw that the metal layer was protruding everywhere, and the attack point was very concentrated, and said, "Well, depending on the situation, these people have tried." ”

Mao Feng scratched his face with his fingers, and said thoughtfully: "At the point of breaking the tower wall, the situation must be quite urgent. These Jinliang Guardsmen are numerous, and they will be difficult to defeat, but they still have to choose this way of breaking through the wall to escape, what happened here back then?"

Ziru snorted and said, "No matter what happened to it, these people are innocent anyway." ”

Mao Feng said: "This is natural. But how did the seniors in the tower trap them here, after all, it's curious. ”

Suddenly, Canghai beckoned to them and shouted, "Hey, you come to see this corpse, it doesn't seem to be from Jinliang Country." ”
