In order to survive, Yao Qianwen and I climbed up along the protruding stones from the stone tower.

When I was almost exhausted from climbing, my hand suddenly grabbed a flat stone that stretched outward! I tried my best to prop myself up, climbed to the top, and found that it was another layer on the top of the stone tower, and in front of me, there was a stone door that had collapsed in half!

"Give it to me!" Turning around, she pulled Yao Qianwen onto the stone platform, and behind her was the swarm of insects that followed.

In a panic, we completely instinctively got into the stone gate in front of us, but the moment I stepped in, I began to regret making this decision, if there was only such an entrance and exit in this stone gate, then this would be the grave of me and Yao Qianwen.

Fortunately, our luck was not as bad as we thought.

Although there really seems to be no other way back here, there are many stone carvings inside the stone chamber, one of which is just near the entrance! This statue, with its body like an upright reptile, and its face is very similar to the monster that drove us away in the mountains and forests before, with its feet on the ground and its torso leaning forward!

If you can seal the entrance with this stone statue, you may be saved.

However, this stone statue is too big and too heavy, Yao Qianwen and I worked hard for a long time, and a large number of insects poured in, but the stone statue was not moved at all.

At the moment of life and death, I found that there was a half-collapsed stone gate at the entrance! Looking at the tilted torso of this stone carving, an idea appeared in his mind, and he hurriedly shouted Yao Qianwen: "Don't push it, let's lift that stone slab, and use it to probably break one of the statue's legs!" ”

"Break?" Yao Qianwen was stunned for two seconds, and then immediately understood my intention, "Understood!" ”

At that time, there was no time to calculate the distance, this was the last resort to survive, and I could only gamble.

The stone gate is so heavy that I don't think I'll be able to lift it, let alone break the statue, if it weren't for the life and death of my life!

In the end, it was a full eight hits!

The statue had a crack in its leg, and then it collapsed!

And everything is exactly as I thought, the collapsed stone statue fragments, just right, sealed the entrance! Although there are still a few black worms burrowing in, there is nothing to fear.

"Whew...... "I sat on ......the ground, my body trembling violently with every breath, smashing the stone statue, as if I had exhausted the strength of the rest of my life.

Yao Qianwen leaned against me, also very tired.

"Uncle, are you really looking for trouble...... What are those bugs? Why did it suddenly appear and chase us to bite? I don't know what will happen if I fall into the swarm......"

"I'm going to die." I picked up my flashlight and took a look at the environment in front of me, there were seven stone statues in this small space, all of them were reptiles, much like the monsters that had besieged us before, but the difference was that those monsters were more obvious than them.

Yao Qianwen also discovered this, "What are these things, similar to the things that chase us in the mountains and forests, like ...... Upgraded? ”

"It's very similar."

"Huh? You see, there's something on this wall. Yao Qianwen reminded.

There was a thick layer of substance on the walls, and I don't know what it was, like dust clinging to it. Occasionally, there is a clear position where you can see what pattern seems to be hidden under the dust. I cleaned the dust and found that there were reliefs on the walls.

These reliefs are roughly divided into four areas, each area is carved with seven people, and the general pattern of each picture remains the same, with six people centering on one person, which looks like some kind of ritual. The first carved image shows the person in the center taking something out of a large container, what appears to be some kind of liquid, and giving it to the remaining six people, as well as himself.

The second one was a bit chaotic, they probably drank the liquid, and then their expressions were different, some with beautiful and happy expressions, some were painful and sad, and some were even fighting each other.

In the third picture, everyone wakes up and a giant insect falls from the sky, just like the monster that chased us before. But compared to the human form in the relief, this insect is much larger than the monster that chased us before, or the stone sculpture in this secret room!

The giant worm of heaven shot tentacles from its abdomen and penetrated deep into the mouths of the seven.

Then there is the last one, which depicts seven people being reborn, shedding their old skin, and being reborn from their cocoons.

"Isn't this the legend of Moshan's eternal life?" Yao Qianwen pointed to the container in Figure 1, "This liquid seems to be the mucus that can be seen everywhere here." And the second picture is probably about hallucinations, like you, Brother Hao, and Sister Nan's previous situation. As for Figure 3, what is the bug that fell from the sky? ”

This girl is basically in line with my thoughts.

"This is probably a ritual, yes, but do you say that this ceremony has to be seven people?" I asked Yao Qianwen.

She looked at the relief on the wall suspiciously, "According to this carving, probably, what's wrong?" ”

I probably understand one thing now.

Guan Hao's "can't die anymore", perhaps, is not so kind.

……

At this time, Yao Qianwen seemed to suddenly find something and exclaimed: "Oh no! Could this be the place where the ritual is completed, and the giant worm that fell from the sky should also be there...... Here, right? ”

"No, it won't."

"Why? Are you so sure? ”

I walked around the chamber and pointed to the height: "If the ratio of height to height in this relief is serious, it's too crowded. Moreover, the container does not exist here. But the place before, there is something similar. ”

The circular stone chamber from earlier, the pool in the center, and the "living meat" that opens and closes above are not exactly the same as the contents in the relief, but compared to here, I prefer to believe that this is the place of the ceremony.

I stepped back and came to the center of the stone room, intending to estimate the volume of this space according to Yao Qianwen's height, but I tripped over something under my feet.

"Huh? It's ......"

The thing that tripped me up was a ring. The material was not like stone, but appeared to be some kind of metal, embedded in the ground, and about the width of two adult men shoulder to shoulder.

"Come here." I looked up at Yao Qianwen.

"What did you find?"

"There's a ring here, and there's a gap in the stone bricks underneath, like some kind of mechanism. I felt it, and I could probably turn it, but I didn't have enough strength alone, so let's try it together. ”

"Organs?" Yao Qianwen frowned: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

"This relief, this statue, is obviously meant to record something, to show people who come here, to understand certain things. In that case, why is there a murder mechanism here? ”

"It's ...... too"

The idea was endorsed by Yao Qianwen. Then, the two of us joined forces and turned the ring in one direction, and at first there was no response, but when the strength reached a certain level, I felt as if something was starting to loosen in the stone slab under the ring!

Click!

The sound of loosening was obvious, and then the ring was turned!

As the ring turned, a trace of sand fell on our heads, and Yao Qianwen and I looked up at the same time, and above our heads, there was a rotating splicing machine door in front of us, and at this moment, some gaps had been opened!

"It's ...... A passage to the next floor? Yao Qianwen was surprised.

"That's right, let's open it, this tower must not be here for nothing, maybe there will be some mechanism on the upper level that can repel those reptiles, and even lead to the exit."

There's one more thing I didn't say.

Perhaps, there will be traces of Mina on it.

I believed in everything I saw in that hallucination.

After opening the entrance to the second floor completely, Yao Qianwen stepped on my shoulder, carried a flashlight, climbed up first, and then leaned down to pull me up, I was once again surprised by Yao Qianwen's physical strength that a girl should not have.

Entering the second floor, the space is almost the same as the first, and there are also reliefs, stone statues.

It's just that the number of figures and stone statues in this layer of relief has increased.

Fourteen stone statues,

Fourteen humanoids.

The scene in the relief is also significantly larger than the previous layer, and at the same time, the strange insect that fell from the sky has also changed from a creeping reptile form to an octopus-like multi-clawed monster.

In the last one, the people who were stabbed in the mouth by the multi-clawed monster and then reborn also shed their previous human skin.

This picture makes me pay special attention.
