Chapter 366: Bloodstains

"What the hell, the age of the dinosaurs? I thought it was a pterodactyl. Lao Huang answered.

"Pterodactyl is not like this, the maximum wingspan is only a dozen meters, you see it has no legs." Ah Chuan pointed to the skeleton and spoke.

It turned out that it really didn't have legs, I was shocked, but Lao Huang smiled: "How can a bird without legs fall?" I think it's been dead for too long, and the leg bone has fallen off. ”

"If it falls, it should fall to the ground, is there here?" Ah Chuan laughed, "It doesn't have joints on its skeleton that can grow legs, and it doesn't have legs in the first place." ”

Lao Huang stopped talking, and I was even more surprised, I didn't expect that there were really birds without legs in the world.

"What age is it, and is it a distant relative of the dinosaurs?" I asked.

"No, maybe it was earlier than the dinosaurs," a strange glint flowed in Ah Chuan's eyes, "No one has seen it, no one has verified it, the thorn bird is a creature of myths and legends, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I don't think there is such a thing in the world." ”

I swallowed: "But it appeared......"

"Yes, so it fills in a certain gap, legend has it that the thorn bird was born without legs, and will sing at birth, and will fly forever and cannot land until it dies."

I suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling, I don't know whether it was awe or awe, and I didn't want to look at it anymore, I always felt an indescribable emotion stirring in my heart, Ah Chuan also began to concentrate on taking off the diving suit, I turned my head to look at Brother Shen, there was no wave in his eyes.

I think he must know what it is, and most of that weird feeling comes from him, but I can't grasp the source of this emotion, and I feel even more confused.

"That's right here." Brother Shen spoke suddenly, and he was referring to the diving equipment.

It seemed that we were going to go back this way, and I helped them put their things aside, and at a glance I saw that the two oxygen cylinders that Brother Shen had carried were unused, and the other consumed only one-fifth of the oxygen.

I rubbed my eyes, and thought I was dazzled, and when I opened them again, it was still a fifth, and we swam underwater for forty or fifty minutes, and he consumed almost one-fifth of the oxygen that I did, how did he do it?

Lao Huang's consumption is a normal person who has not been trained, I held my breath several times, I think it is already very economical, if you want to reach the level of Brother Shen, not only do you need to hold your breath every time, but the time of holding your breath must be more than ten minutes each time.

I looked at the oxygen cylinders of the Mo family, except for Ah Chuan, who consumed a little more, almost everyone else only used about half a bottle, I helplessly opened my eyes, sure enough, I couldn't compare with these people, I was hit by seeing too much.

There are two exits in front and back of this ice cave, very irregular, at first glance it is the slit of two natural glaciers, zigzag and zigzag do not know where it leads, I think that the glacial lake is not small but a small puddle, most of the glacial lake is covered with solid ice that is half a meter thick, and the other half of the lake is full of ice floe, the water is rippling, undulating.

I always feel that something is wrong when I look at this half of the lake, it is very cold here, the lake should be frozen solidly, why is it half a meter thick of solid ice, and half of it is broken ice floe, it seems to have been destroyed by external forces.

I took the flashlight and looked around, but there was no sign of any living creatures around, and there was no trace of damage, only the surface of the lake was half broken, and it was not normal to look at it.

No one seems to have noticed this anomaly, I hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything, now the most important thing is to find the imperial tomb, this place is very biased at a glance, and I don't know how long I have to walk under this ice and snow.

Brother Shen naturally led us to one of the sides, I am even more convinced that he has been here, I don't know what is written in the silk book in the tomb of Fusu, even if there is the location of the mausoleum, it is impossible to be so detailed, it has been more than two thousand years, the terrain will always change, not to mention that this is a snow-capped mountain, any avalanche may destroy the entrance, and the road we are walking now is not like the entrance of the Eight Classics.

How did he find his way? I didn't ask, maybe he could feel the jade, and he could also feel the mausoleum, he was the tomb keeper, but I was also the tomb keeper, why couldn't I detect anything.

I looked up, the two glaciers were dozens of meters high, and the top was also filled with cold ice, the ice was rampant, sharp as a knife, and the gap in the middle could only accommodate one person to pass through, and I only felt that the glaciers on both sides were about to fall, and the cold air was blowing on my face, and my face was soon frozen unconscious.

The ice here was not the same as I remembered, it was not very slippery, it was not transparent, but it was as white as a fog like snow, and in the haze I could see some huge and strange shadows inside, not only on the sides, but also under my feet, I was sure that they were not people, they were too big, crisscrossed by the bones of some unknown creature, through the opaque ice, like the shadows of twisted ghosts.

"What the hell is going on here?" Lao Huang's voice came from behind, and he quickly wiped it with his palm in a clearer place, trying to wipe away the opaque frost on the outside.

Still can't see clearly, he can't make the ice surface as flat as a mirror, and the uneven ice surface reflects the shadows inside distorted, which makes it even more bizarre.

"I'm guessing it's all the remains of ancient creatures, like the thorn bird." Ah Chuan's voice was extremely low and strange to hear.

Lao Huang didn't stretch out his hand again, if it was really as Ah Chuan said, this should be a natural prehistoric museum, somehow, I felt uncomfortable, not only because of their huge and strange size, but also because we felt that we were the exhibits, this is their world, we walked in front of them, visited them, who knows if they are also visiting us?

I was taken aback by my own strange thoughts, and I felt that the shadows on both sides exuded an indescribable chill, and the impression here was very contradictory, one side was majestic, and the other side was ghostly, like a tomb that had been buried for hundreds of millions of years.

I thought about it, and laughed to myself, this is a tomb in the first place, but it doesn't sound good to say.

The slits were long and tortuous, and occasionally there were narrow crevasses on either side of the glacier, the widest of which could only fit into a fist, and the strange shadows became clearer when the flashlight lit up, but it was still impossible to distinguish what they were.

We walked non-stop for nearly two hours in a row, and we didn't see the shadow of the mausoleum, it was too cold, even if we made all the preparations, the exaggerated thick clothes and shoes could not stop the cold invasion, and the god brother who walked in front of him showed half of his arms, but exuded a warm breath, I had already seen his ability to resist the cold, and I still felt incredible after nearly two years.

The sweat-soaked wet clothes seemed to have an invisible layer of ice, heavy and cold, and a large corner appeared in front of me, and I saw Brother Shen squeezing sideways there, and Nineteen followed, and I also came to the corner, which was very narrow, and the road ahead gradually widened again.

I tried to squeeze sideways as they did, but I paused, and saw that at the height of my knees, there was a reddish-brown mark on the raised ridge of ice, and the mark was not small, but a narrow one, as if someone had accidentally rubbed it on it.

My heart tightened, so I hurriedly walked over, half-bent over, and said, "Look, what is this?" ”

The heavy reddish-brown color is particularly conspicuous in a piece of white, I took a closer look, how much does this color look like blood, everyone stopped, Ah Chuan squeezed forward from behind Lao Huang, took off his gloves, squatted down and wiped it directly with his fingers, the slightly melted ice water and reddish-brown fused into one, and stained Ah Chuan's fingers.

Ah Chuan showed a strange look in his eyes, raised his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, raised his eyebrows, and actually put his finger directly into his mouth, and spit it out twice, the weirdness in his eyes was even worse.

"It's blood, human blood, and there's a kind of ......" Ah Chuan frowned, as if searching for words in his brain, "the smell of being smoked and roasted, and the smell of corpse oil." ”

Nineteen's face changed immediately, my first reaction was to go to see Brother Shen, he was the only one here, could it be that this strange bloodstain was left by him last time?

Brother Shen still didn't have any expression, Ah Chuan once again put his nose next to the bloodstains, and smiled weirdly and evilly: "With such a heavy smell, it won't take more than three days to rub it on." ”

No more than three days! I was shocked, it can't be Brother God, Brother God has been with us all the time, which means that someone came here before us, but who would come to such a ghost place?

Lao Huang shuddered: "Who else knows about this place except us?" ”

"It's strange because no one knows," Ah Chuan stood up, "You see this bloodstain, only rubbing on this side of the ice ridge, it means that the person's direction of action is the opposite of ours, I just don't know if this blood is his, there must be danger ahead, we are late." ”

"Why, only we have the key, even if someone comes, they can't get in." I hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, you can't get in, this road is not for anyone to walk, since this person has such a great ability to catch up with us, it must not be simple, he didn't even enter the tomb and was stained with blood, think about what will be in front of you."

Ah Chuan's voice was cold, and I immediately thought of the half-broken ice lake, and quickly spoke: "Do you remember that lake, half of it is so thick ice, half of it is broken ice, it must have been broken by someone, and he walked exactly the same path as us." ”

Ah Chuan nodded: "That's right, but there is no blood near those ice floes, which can only mean that the person also came in from there, broke the ice when he entered, and walked the same way back." ”

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point all of a sudden, no one spoke again, the blood stains in front of me were so bright and dazzling, I suddenly regretted it, just went straight over, why did you suddenly bow your head, if you didn't see it, you don't have to worry like now.

"Could it be that man, is he really dead?" Lao Huang suddenly spoke, his voice full of fear.
