Gradually, I seem to understand a little bit why those little devils were able to dig here accurately according to the mountains and rivers.

They almost dug through the rock formations under the mountains of Xiangxi, and all this was definitely not indiscriminate excavation, but a premeditated and planned underground fortification.

Although I only know that they excavated the stone mines in search of uranium and the ancient tomb treasures buried here, I could not guess the deeper purpose of this.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a situation suddenly appeared in the dim light where Suchak had dug in the tunnel.

I ran over where he was making the sound, only to see a strange scene.

It turned out that the rock layer was mixed with strange patterns, and he bent down little by little, and illuminated the scene in front of him with the torch in his hand.

I was surprised to find that these patterns are actually rare fossil prints, although the patterns on them are only the size of fingernails, but the shape is clearly imprinted in the stone layer through subtle traces, and even symmetrical wings and tentacles can be seen.

It's not hard to surmise that this creature doesn't seem to be huge, and even resembles the black inexplicable beetle we encountered in the first layer of tunnels before.

As I looked closely at the hidden marks in the stone formations, I felt more and more that these patterns were very similar to the insects I had encountered before.

I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if I had caught a beetle alive and put it in my pocket, maybe I could compare it with the pattern in front of me.

After not making much discovery, Suzak and I still didn't dare to delay, and still desperately dug the rock formations in the tunnel.

This time, we had dug more than fifty meters from the position of the sealed iron gate, and when we looked back, the iron gate had turned into a small black shadow.

After finding the clues of his daughter, Susak basically did not stop, his forehead was covered with sweat, but his hands still kept waving his tools.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, a strange sound suddenly appeared behind him.

I couldn't help but look back, and a strange figure appeared at the position of the iron gate in the distance in front of me.

This scared me a lot, and there was no one else in the tunnel except me and Suchak, so who was this strange figure behind him?

Could it be that the oni samurai found on the first floor were not really dead, but there was no reason for such a monster to take the elevator to the third floor of the deepest part of the tunnel.

I was brave enough to carry a torch and walked over, and along the way, the almost worn soles of my shoes stepped on the sharp stones, and my feet hurt a little.

And the strange figure still stood at the position of the iron gate with the seal pasted before, motionless, like a stone statue.

It wasn't until I was only a dozen meters away from the thing that I finally couldn't help but pick up a stone on the ground and throw it at the black shadow in front of me.

Unexpectedly, there was a muffled sound on the strange black shadow in front of me when the stone hit, which made me startled.

The sound was more like a muffled echo of striking on something unknown solid.

When I think back to the first scene when I came to the third floor, the moment I stepped out of the elevator, the surrounding scene was shrouded in darkness, and it was indeed easy to overlook many details.

However, if you want to see what the shadow that suddenly appears in front of you, you need to go over and observe it yourself.

My left hand, which had been holding the torch hard, ached, and I came back to my senses and walked towards the dark shadow in front of me.

This time, it was as if his heart had never hung upside down like this, and even the sound of his breathing became more and more rapid.

I don't know why Suchak behind him didn't follow, but the sound of digging had stopped, and there was only a dead silence in my ears.

What would he do if he stood behind me?

The gradually approaching firelight finally illuminated the scene in front of me, and what I didn't expect was that the strange shadow that appeared in front of me was actually the half-human stone statue I saw for the first time.

"How is that possible?"

I couldn't help but mutter to myself, looking at the stone statue in front of me that had indeed been moved, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

Could it be that there are other people in this tunnel besides me and Suchak, otherwise how can I explain the scene in front of me?

When he turned his head to look, he found that Suchak behind him was just cleaning up the rusty tools, and even the hammer was a little deformed under his vigorous swing.

He seemed to be only interested in the clues that had just been found in her daughter, and all he wanted was to continue digging the tunnel.

I looked at the heavy stone statue in front of me, and the already messy tunnel scene outside the iron gate, and there was no trace of human figures around.

It seems that this has also become an unsolved mystery, and it is possible that the stone statue will grow its own legs and deliberately run behind us to scare us.

Thinking of this, I was faintly afraid, from the very beginning I found the skeletons of laborers hidden in the walls, and the entire underground tunnel of the Japanese army, which had been abandoned for many years, was inexplicably weird.

So much so that when I was in the tunnel later, I couldn't help but look back at the location of the iron gate, but fortunately, nothing supernatural happened this time.

In this way, about a few days passed, more and more waste rocks were excavated, and the two of them also extended the tunnel for a distance with their own strength.

This time, more and more fossil marks appeared in the rock layers, and the hard rock layers became more and more difficult to excavate.

When I was hungry, I tightened my belt, and I was so hungry that I had to get out of the tunnel and go to the second floor through the elevator to scavenge some rotting Japanese soldiers.

Thankfully, I found a compressed ration for the military that hadn't expired yet, and it only took a small piece to keep me feeling full for a long time.

Although Suchak was sweating all over his upper body, he seemed to have no hunger, and only rested for a few hours every day, and the first thing he did when he woke up was still digging the rock in front of him.

For a long time, Suchak and I gradually lost our sense of time, and in the dim light we couldn't even guess whether it was day or night outside.

My hands were almost blistered with blood, and I had countless scars on my arms from sharp stones, and I looked at the watch on my wrist that was still spinning under some kind of magnetic field fluctuation.

I couldn't help but think of the strange scene that happened in the tomb of Concubine Jin ten years ago, all the electronic devices failed, and my companions and I felt that time passed faster than outside.

Extremely tired, I leaned against the rock formation behind me in the light of the burning torch in my hand, and couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he was awakened by the sound of Suchak digging rocks, and his eyes couldn't help but subconsciously look at the tunnel in front of him.

I didn't expect to suddenly discover this scene in the next second, which made me sit on pins and needles for a while, and I was instantly refreshed.

Because this time, there are fossilized bones that look like human hands in the rock layer, and what is completely different from humans is that the fingers of the palm stone statue in front of you are obviously much longer than normal people.

It's hard to imagine that if a person grows a palm that is twice as large as an ordinary person, this may not be within the range of normal people's thinking, not to mention that the bones in front of him are sharper and sharper.

It was as if the palm of the hand was originally a lethal weapon that fossil creatures had evolved on their own, and the first thing that came to mind was the dinosaurs that were the overlords of the earth in ancient times.

However, the impression of dinosaurs in my mind could not be related to the giant hand fossils that appeared in front of me.
