Chapter 77: Ghoul Flowers

"Look, there's a stone house in front." Zar, who was walking ahead, pointed to the distance and drove the camels faster.

"Wow, there's no one going to live there, is it?" Mo Yan put his hands on his forehead and looked into the distance.

It was made of stone, and it didn't look like a house, but it was a circular building, which should be very old.

The little gold bar stretched out his head lazily, and he straightened his whole body before he saw what was in front of him.

"That's the tomb, where the dead live."

"Huh?" Mo Yan was taken aback.

Seeing that everyone was chasing after them with camels, she heard that it was the tomb, so she slowly followed behind.

Almost all of Sarim's people have arrived, and the people on their side are not in a hurry, anyway, the sun is setting, and they can only set up tents in that tomb tonight.

Mo Yan jumped off the camel, moved his body for a while, and then walked over, this is a tomb made of stones, and there are corpses in it.

The corpses were dressed in buried clothes, with feathered hats on the sides, woolen shawls with brooches pinned to their chests, leather boots on their feet, and clothes on their lower bodies that only covered their bodies, men wore short wool shorts, and women wore threaded skirts.

It was filled with funerary goods, as well as beautiful woven straw baskets, intricately hand-carved masks, and ephedra packets for ritual or healing.

There were almost 100 corpses here, some wrapped in cotton yarn, straw mats or fishing nets, buried directly in the sand, without any stone structure covering.

"Wow, this is a mummy!" Mo Yan shook his head in surprise, if this was discovered by archaeologists, he would not faint happily.

"A dead man is a dead man, what mummy?" Little Gold Bar hated these corpses very much.

Walking into the ancient tombs, I also saw a sporadic poplar coffin, inside which was a female corpse, and I could vaguely see the sparse hair and the sparkling cloth clothes on the body.

As you can see from the outline, this is a big-eyed beauty with deep sunken eyes, and it is not difficult to imagine that she had a beautiful face during her lifetime.

The ground was littered with broken pottery shards, copper slag, iron slag, stone tools, wood tools, material beads, felt hats, felt boots, silk, animal skins and dung.

This proves that the area where the ancestors lived was huge and the degree of civilization was quite high, and it lasted for a long time from formation to abandonment.

Not far from the cemetery, there is a depression with water reeds, and it is conceivable that this was once a place of abundant water, fertilizer and grass.

There are also many burial utensils such as quivers, bows and arrows, and wooden products next to the corpses.

"Tut-tut......" Mo Yan was amazed as he watched.

It was a shame that she had discovered such a rare tomb.

If it were in modern times, she would definitely report that archaeologists would be excavating the thousand-year-old artifact.

"Xiao Yan, why are you so excited to see these corpses?" Bai Xue covered her nose and looked at her with a constipated expression.

"You don't know this, if these corpses are found by future generations for thousands or hundreds of years, they will be treasures."

"Baby?" She immediately reflected: "Future generations can understand the lives of people thousands of years ago, right? ”

"That's right!"

"Ghoul Flower ......," someone exclaimed.

Mo Yan trotted over, and saw a flower with a very strange appearance?

It looks like a blind-eyed sea serpent with its mouth wide open, and its shell is grayish-brown, similar to the pink inside of a flower petal.

Closer, there was a pungent and unpleasant smell coming from inside, and everyone covered their noses and turned away.

This ghoul flower also grows in some nearby rock formations, which shows that it is extremely vigorous.

In such an arid and barren place, where there are almost no nutrients, how can such large flowers and plants grow?

"The ghoul flower is good at using its beautiful appearance to lure all kinds of insects and let them help pollinate, and it also emits a foul smell of corpses to attract dung beetles, corpse beetles, etc., and then trap them inside until they die, while it absorbs the nutrients of the beetle carcass to survive."

"What a beautiful trap!" Mo Yan reached out and took the small gold bar in his hand and took a few steps back.

"It looks very weird and bloody, and it doesn't do any harm to other creatures except for catching some beetles. The local natives love to eat the fruit and don't mind that it's all made up of rotting corpses. ”

"Vomit ......" dares to eat this kind of flowers and plants, it is simply deadly.

"Yanyan, these ghoul flowers won't live long, wait until the water in the puddle over there dries up, which is the day they die." The small gold bar struggled a few times in her hand and climbed onto her shoulder.

"Hey, I'll go see how much water is in the puddle, I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and it's all stinking to death." Mo Yan walked towards the puddle.

"They're already fetching water and showering, so you better not go over." Little Gold Bar reminded her: "It's all a bunch of dry guys." ”

"Damn, don't these men know that ladies come first?" When she saw the person taking a bath over there, she was so angry that she jumped up.

"It's hot, don't get dry." He stared at her: "I noticed that you have been getting more and more irritable lately, do you feel it?" ”

"Feel a yarn." She turned back angrily, prepared her clothes, and took a basin to drive away the stinky men.

"It's a demon at work!" The little gold bar wanted to remind her seriously, but she reached out and slapped it on the ground.

"The devil is a yarn."

"Ouch, you want to fall to my death!"

"Hey, your demons are doing tricks, is there a solution?"

"Only you dare to do this to me......"

Little Gold Bar was so angry that he almost bit her, and when he saw her teasing his smiling face, he turned and walked away.

He had to find a place to stretch, and he didn't bother to bother with her, but he was a man and had to be a gentleman.

Mo Yan successfully drove away the man who was bathing by the puddle, seeing that the area here used to be a lake, but now it is dry, but the water is very clear.

She washed her hair with several basins of water, and when it was almost dark, Bai Xue came over with her clothes.

The two of them took advantage of the fact that it was almost dark, and hurried to take a bath, and after the daytime exposure, the water was still warm.

"Xiao Yan, there should be a spring under this ground, but it will be gone soon."

"Why do you say that the water source in this desert is gone?"

The sea once dried up, so after tens of thousands of years, will the whole earth also dry up?

"The water is flowing down, I think this water must have flowed somewhere else!" After the snow was washed, she took out the clothes she had changed in the past two days and washed them dry.

"Hey, don't really say it, you're still talking about it." Mo Yan gave her the clothes he had changed.
