Lin Ci looked in the direction of Su Jinwei's fingers, the monster in the pillar of heaven, and the painter used some lines to connect it with the black figures on the left.

Lin Ci frowned and said, "Dad, is there some kind of connection between the xenomorph and the monsters in the Heavenly Pillar?" ”

"I think so too, and as you know, xenomorphs appear after being parasitized by insects. However, there are no patterns related to insects in this painting, so I think that the xenos in Kunlun should be created by this head, or these monsters trapped in the pillars. ”

Su Jinwei then looked at the person on the right side of the mural: "Then these people who are opposed to the alien species should be the aborigines of Kunlun." Since the xenos did not starve to death, then these people should still be alive, and I don't know where they are at the moment. ”

Several more stone paintings followed, but two of them were too badly damaged to be identified. There are not too many of them, but you can still see the patterns on the stone wall.

Two stone paintings, the first of which is the appearance of a certain city, which is painted with black paint.

In the sky above that city, the painter carved many eyes, densely spread all over the sky. On the left side of the picture, there is a man with a sad face, and behind him, a woman looks back at the black city, showing reluctance. Then came the crowd of people, who had apparently left the black city.

But judging by the expressions of the characters in front of them, it seems that these people have been forced to leave the city behind them.

As for the second stone painting, it is a scene on the plain. The paintings depict people who were forced to leave the city and flee to distant places on the plains.

And behind them, people and beasts with black expressions are chasing after these Kunlun residents. Behind the line of the fleeing people, there were men with various weapons, and several large, formidable beasts assisted them.

Su Jinwei stood in front of the second painting, pointed to one of the giant beasts and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a heroic move." ”

The giant beast pointed out by the doctor is in the form of a horse's body, tiger stripes, and bird wings. The giant beast was swooping down from the sky, and the artist used a few simple lines to show the heroic posture of the giant beast's rapid attack.

Su Jinwei pointed to another giant beast, this orc has a tiger face and a tiger body, with nine tails, Su Jinwei said: "This is Lu Wu, the legend is the mountain god of Kunlun." As for this one, I'm afraid it's the guardian of Kunlun, the enlightened beast. ”

Beside Lu Wu, there is still a beast. This beast was the most massive, twice the size of the two Lugo. Resembling a lion and tiger with a shape similar to armor, it has a solemn and majestic expression and stares ahead. Above the body of the beast, there are solemn human faces, facing in all directions.

Lin Ci took two steps back, looked at a few stone paintings, and said, "Dad, what do you think?" ”

Su Jinwei closed his eyes and said, "These stone paintings record a great change in Kunlun. The ancients used to write from left to right, so the first stone painting on the left, that is, the painting depicting the mountain of the heavenly pillars, should be the origin of the change. From this painting, it is not difficult to see that there are murderous objects under the pillars of heaven. This thing has changed some of the inhabitants of Kunlun, turning them into xenos we have encountered. So the painter used black to distinguish them from the remnants of Kunlun. ”

"After that, the xenomorphs must have driven the inhabitants of Kunlun from one of the cities where they had lived, and sent pursuers to hunt them down. However, the inhabitants of Kunlun seem to have the power to protect themselves, and those weapons, as well as a few legendary beasts, represent their power to protect themselves. Otherwise, no one would have left such relief stone paintings in this Tianyong City. ”

Opening his eyes again, Su Jinwei stretched out his hand and stroked the stone painting and said: "Tianyun City should have been built by the residents of Kunlun who took refuge and moved here, but from the traces outside the city, it can be seen that the city was finally attacked, but I don't know how many of the residents in the city are left." ”

Lin Ci looked at the two stone paintings that had collapsed and said, "It's a pity that two of them were damaged, otherwise, we can see more information." ”

"Forget it, it's not too early, let's rest early. Everyone is tired today, so let's make plans tomorrow. ”

Lin Ci nodded, left the corridor with Su Jinwei, found a clean corner in the main hall, spread a marching blanket, and fell asleep.

The night was long, and under the starry river, a few birds flew by. They flew over the dimly lit city, and one of them suddenly circled and swept towards the palace where the expedition was located.

The night bird perched on the palace, combing its feathers from time to time, but its eyes were always fixed on the fire in the temple and the soldiers who were on duty outside the hall. After staring like this for a moment, the bird spread its wings and flew into the air, and without making a sound, flew out of the city, and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

Nothing was said all night.

When Lin Ci woke up, he found that there was a faint morning light outside the hall, he got up and looked around, Su Jinwei was still asleep, and the others were awake and asleep. Lin Ci helped his adoptive father cover the quilt, walked out of the hall, and nodded with the two soldiers on duty at night.

Looking to the east, the morning light is rising, and the eastern sky is full of white light. But the rest of the place was still gloomy, and looking at the clock in his hand, he had slept for eight hours.

If it was in the outside world, it should be dawn at this moment, but the day in Kunlun is much longer than the outside world, and even the night is extraordinarily long, so it is only early in the morning.

After a while, the people in the temple woke up one after another, and everyone had eaten breakfast before leaving the palace. The area of Tianyun City is huge, and they only walked a long street yesterday, and it was already dusk. Today, the team decided on the direction and drove directly in the direction of the giant ship. I don't know what the ship was built for, it was so large that it was far away, and you could see the huge sails that were high above the buildings in the city and pointed to the blue sky.

Two hours later, the team came to a large clearing, and above that there was the giant boat. There is still a fixed dragon frame under the giant boat, and there are tools for unknown purposes parked around it, and there are some buildings around the clearing. The buildings almost filled the open space, and it was hard to see which passage the ship would have to take if it was to get it out of the city.

"What the hell is this for?" Chen Hu touched his head and said what many people thought.

Su Jinwei looked around and said, "This is a bit like a large shipbuilding workshop, look over there, does it look like a warehouse?" ”

He pointed to a building in the distance.

Lin Ci nodded and said, "This ship is a bit too big, it's just an ocean-going oil tanker." And the material is also special, look, the hull has been covered with dust, you can't see anything, obviously there are many years, but it's still fine, which is a bit strange. ”

Su Jinwei raised his head and said, "In short, you still have to get on the boat and take a look." ”

He discussed with Li Feng, leaving a few soldiers to occupy the high place and monitor the entire shipyard. The rest of the people were divided into two teams, one team led by Su Jinwei and Lin Ci, who went on the ship to investigate; The other team searched the warehouses and buildings to see if they could find anything of value. After the detachment was completed, Lin Ci followed Su Jinwei and walked towards the side of the giant boat, a ladder that was obviously used to board the ship.

I don't know how long the dark space has been closed, and suddenly a light comes in. Like a sharp sword, the light tore through the darkness with a squeak, and something hiding in the darkness squeaked and fled before the light could catch up with them.

A hand reached in and tugged hard, causing the sliding door to slide with difficulty into the groove to the left, shaking off the lumpy dust from above.

Then a light came in, swiping left and right, illuminating a room in the middle of the giant boat. Lin Ci walked in, took two breaths, and said unexpectedly: "It's not boring here, it seems that there is a ventilation and exhaust design." ”

Later, Su Jinwei and Ketterson and others also walked in, and after they boarded the giant boat through the ladder, they found the way to the cabin on the deck.

The first floor is clearly occupied, divided into a number of rooms, and there are wooden beds that can be lifted and lowered. There is also a galley and dining hall behind the cabin, which can roughly accommodate about 200 people at a time.

On the second floor was the storage room and weapons storehouse, and Lin Xi and the others found some inedible food, and the weapons store contained some scattered jade spears and jade spears.

However, both the storage room and the arsenal were clearly larger than the things stored in them, which means that the people who built the ship had not had time to fill up before they had something to do and had to leave the ship.

And the material of this ship is also very special, its outer layer is a wooden board painted with some kind of resin. The resin is supposed to be used to repel insects and ants, and the planks are also ordinary wood, but there is still a sandwich in it.

It looked like iron, and it was not a material that could be seen by the outside world at all. The material was light, but it was so hard that a soldier hit it with a pistol, and not a single trace could be left on it.

If the entire ship were to be sandwiched with such materials, the ship would be very difficult to destroy.

Now Lin Xi and the others have come to the third floor, and the rooms here don't know what to do, and they have many pipes laid on the ground and walls.

The material of the pipe is the same as that of the hull cleat, and when tapped by hand, it makes a clear sound, and the pipe is hollow, and it is unknown what it can be used to transport.

Going out of this room, it's another passage. On both sides of the passage is a column of wind lanterns. You can take off the lampshade of the wind lamp, but there is no such thing as a wick in it.

In this way, the team passed through several rooms, not knowing the purpose of the cabins on this level. I just feel that the rooms and passages are connected together to form a labyrinth-like space.

When the procession stopped, in front of the Lin Shrine was a gate. The door was closed, Lin Ci walked over and pushed hard, but the gate did not move.

"Let me come." Chen Hu shouted, and his body began to change when he walked over.

Chen Hu raised his hands and pressed them on the door, and drank lightly, but only pushed the door and shook, sprinkling some lumps of ash. Chen Hu didn't believe in evil, took two steps back, and slammed into it violently.

This time the door opened a little bit as it slammed inside, and there was a screeching sound. The materials used in this gate seem to be those things that are like iron and jade, so that Chen Hu can't break it if he hits it so hard, and there is not even a trace of squeezing.

Chen Hu did something with this door, he kept yelling, pushed forward with all his strength, and finally pushed the door out of the gap for one person to pass through.

After pushing the door open, Chen Hu was already sweating profusely, looked at the door and muttered, "Hell, what kind of thing is this, so heavy." ”

Lin Ci patted him on the shoulder and gestured to Su Jinwei and the others behind him: "I'll go in first." ”

"I'll go too, brother." Wei Lan threw off Hu Xiaojiu's hand and ran over.

Lin Ci didn't object, but only said be careful. His left hand, his arm was mutated, his muscles were overgrown, his five claws popped out, and the blood appeared in the air. Wei Lan paused his hands, and two black and blue flames hung from his hands. The flames condensed, forming two long swords. Wei Lan's cheeks drooped on both sides, and the black and blue mist flames fluttered behind him, so he held his dual swords in his hand and followed behind Lin Ci.

The brother and sister didn't enter the darkness.

After about a few seconds, Lin Ci poked his head out from behind the door and said, "Come in, there's nothing inside." ”

Su Jinwei was the first to enter, followed by Twilight Snow and Cateson, and the team walked into the door one after another. More than a dozen lights flickered in the darkness, but they still couldn't reach the end of the space.

Finally, Su Jinwei called a soldier and asked him to turn on the portable searchlight that he had prepared in the morning. Of course, this portable searchlight has more power than the flashlight in the team's hand, and the light is sufficient. As soon as it was opened, everyone's eyes lit up, and then they let out a soft sigh.

Su Jinwei's eyes showed an unbelievable glint and shouted: "This is simply a power room!" ”

That's right, it's a power room. The space is as large as the hall, and there are rows of machines and equipment that cannot be named. On the ground, on both sides of the walls, the pipes were neatly arranged, connected to the equipment in front of them.

Some of these devices resemble huge compasses, with several rounds of wheels, on which are written ancient texts that are completely incomprehensible; Some are lined with jade plaques of the same accumulation, and there are grooves under the jade plaques, which look like some kind of switch.

Even if I can't name these devices and don't know what they are used for, this scene is obviously the power room of this giant ship.

From this point of view, the pipes that spread all over these three layers of cabins should be used to transport some kind of power. But I wonder if the power used in this giant boat is gasoline, or energy, or something else that I can't understand?

"It's unbelievable." Su Jinwei shook his head and said, "If this is seen in an extraterrestrial spaceship, I am not surprised at all. But this is Kunlun, why are the inhabitants of Kunlun able to make such a thing? ”

Lin Ci took a few steps back and said with a smile: "Now I know why there is no passage in the shipyard for this giant ship to pass at all. This thing is bound to fly into the sky, and the inhabitants of Kunlun are probably planning to use it to fly across weak waters, right? ”

This speculation is not unreasonable, and it is necessary to know that there is no bridge in weak water. If you want to cross weak waters, you will definitely need extraordinary means, and if this giant ship can really fly, it is the best tool to travel between the two sides of weak water. Su Jinwei was surprised: "I don't know if it can still move, and what is the power source." If we can figure this out, maybe we can use it to fly straight to the pillar! ”
