Chapter 284: An Accidental Discovery
I looked at Wang Chuyi, she was also surprised, and looked at me, "What the hell is going on?" Where are we? ”
I shook my head, I didn't feel like I was moving when it was dark, I didn't feel weightless, or floating, why? Will we be in an unfamiliar area? Could it be that the Seventh Master and the One-Eyed Eighth are also experiencing the same thing?
After thinking about it, Wang Chuyi and I can't figure it out, all we can do now is to hurry up and find the Seventh Master and the One-Eyed Eighth, if they are the same as us, then they must still be in this ancient city, maybe they know the reason, after all, the four of them get together, they always have to feel safer.
The area of this ancient city is very large, Wang Chuyi and I carried heavy backpacks and began to search, at the beginning of the period we walked, and shouted the names of the seventh master and the one-eyed eighth, but after two hours, we already felt that our throats were about to burst into flames, and the water we carried with us had been drunk.
The ancient buildings here are next to each other, the layout is very dense, and it is also very strange, we are looking for people, but we also have to remember the arrangement of these ancient buildings, otherwise if you are not careful, you will go into the fork in the road and go around in circles.
"Lao Bai, look!" Wang Chuyi pointed to a piece of ground not far in front of us.
I saw a handful of green plants appear on the ground, which was particularly eye-catching in this ancient city, the surface of this ancient city was almost the same as the Gobi Desert, all the way over, in addition to the sand grains blown up by the wind, it was all over the gravel, looking at the green plants in front of me, I couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Wang Chuyi, "Be careful." ”
Wang Chuyi also nodded, and we cautiously leaned towards the plant, and when we walked in, we found that the thing was not a plant at all, but a wriggling insect, many of which gathered together, looking like a bunch of weeds.
But fortunately, this insect is not aggressive, and as soon as it saw me and Wang Chu approaching, it quickly dispersed, and suddenly I didn't know where to burrow into it, and disappeared.
I squatted in the place where the insects had gathered, and found a small round ball on the ground, about the size of a fist, and I tried to reach it with my hands, but found that the ball was actually embedded in the ground, and it seemed to be very deep, and I couldn't pull the ball out with great effort.
At this time, Wang Chuyi also came up, looked at the ball, and said, "Why do I feel that this ball is so familiar?" I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ”
I smiled and asked, "Could it be that you've been here before?" ”
Wang Chuyi shook his head, squatted down to look carefully, and then wiped it with a handkerchief, "This is a stone?" ”
I nodded, just now when I went to drag this small ball, I found that this is a stone, it should not be naturally formed, there are traces of polishing on the surface, and I can see that this thing is not spherical at first.
At this time, Wang Chuyi stood up suddenly, and ran quickly towards the north of the ancient city, I don't know what she found, so I quickly followed, and ran for more than ten minutes, Wang Chuyi stopped at this time, bent over and panted, and said, "I know!" ”
I'm also tired enough, in this strange environment, preserving physical strength is the basic common sense to survive, Wang Chuyi's run, almost made me tired, so I didn't want to ask her what she knew.
Wang Chuyi pointed to the north of us, then took out a telescope and handed it to me, saying, "Look at the spire of that tower. ”
The tower mentioned by Wang Chuyi is the tallest building in this ancient city, it is sixty or seventy meters high, almost twenty floors, as long as there are no houses to block the view, it should be visible, it is a landmark building.
I picked up the telescope and looked at the spire, and immediately understood what Wang Chuyi meant, at the top of the spire, there was also a stone ball, if we weren't holding a high-powered telescope, we wouldn't be able to see it at all, the stone ball was only the size of a fist, and it looked similar to the stone ball we found just now.
At this time, I suddenly reacted and said, "That stone ball just now, is it a spire?" Exposed to the ground? Are you saying there's an identical tower underground? ”
Wang Chuyi took back the binoculars, looked at me and said, "I guess it's not an identical tower, but an identical city!" ”
Wang Chuyi's words shocked me even more, if this is really the case, who built it? Why is the ancient city exactly the same? Could it be that the following tomb group is related to this ancient city?
Wang Chu looked at the tower and said, "The most important thing now is to find the Seventh Master, maybe."
Although there is a tower as a landmark in this ancient city, no matter how we go, we feel that the distance between ourselves and the tower has not been shortened, and I originally thought that after arriving at the tower, we should be able to find the specific location of the seventh master, but this way, we found that we could not get close at all.
After walking for a while, we found the Luoyang shovel of the seventh master at the door of a very dilapidated ancient building, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed, it seems that the seventh master has been here.
So I kicked the door of the ancient building open, and the wind blew into the house, and the dust raised made people choke and cough, and after I saw the situation in the house, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid in my heart, only to see that on the chair in the main hall of this room, there was a corpse that had been completely weathered and only a skeleton was left, facing the door that I kicked open.
This room is not big, there is a living room in the middle, there are two small doors on the side, it should be a bedroom, I walked towards one of the bedrooms, only to see a big bed in the bedroom, and there is a corpse sitting next to the bed, and there is a child's skeleton lying on the bed, it seems that this is a family of three, and they all died in the house for some reason.
At this time, Wang Chuyi suddenly said, "No, they didn't die naturally, they deliberately posed like this after being killed." I turned my head to see that Wang Chuyi had already walked over from the living room, only to see her walk to the corpse next to the bed, pointed to the ribs of the corpse, and said, "See?" There was a long iron nail, one end of which was inserted into the man's body, and the other end was attached to the bed frame, apparently to hold the corpse in place. ”
I walked over and took a look, and although the nail was very long, it was so cleverly made that if it weren't for the fact that the corpse had rotted down to the bones, it would not have been found.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be shocked, where is this ancient city a ghost town? It's a dead city!
After we got out of this ancient building, we opened the doors of several ancient buildings, and the situation inside was about the same, two or three fixed corpses, in different shapes, all still maintaining their movements before death.
