Chapter 310
At this time, as time passed, we were about to walk down the vertical stone steps, but at this time, the flashlight shone on the ground below again, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the light of the flashlight glanced towards the ground, but the scene on the ground was clearly illuminated, and my pupils suddenly dilated, and I saw an incredible scene.
Below, like terracotta warriors, there are countless corpses standing! Because there were so many, it looked densely packed from afar, very dense, and they were arranged in a neat line, as if they were standing in a neat line, welcoming us.
Zuo Tianmei and I stood on the stone steps not far from the ground below at this moment, as if we had been hit by the fixation method, and when we saw the scene in front of us, our bodies froze suddenly, and the boss who couldn't move his eyes was open, and his mouth was wide open enough to stuff a big apple.
I stared at the standing, motionless corpse on the ground. I once expected that in the water veins under the stone statue of the camel stele under this Baxia, there must be an underground river, or it could be a way to the outside world! How do you know that there is a huge grave in front of you, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a mass grave.
There are countless corpses standing in it, and my rough estimate is that there are no less than 10,000.
These corpses are moistened by the water bodies of the underground water veins all year round, forming natural wet corpses.
Wet corpses are different from dry corpses, which can only be formed in a very dry environment, while wet corpses are formed under much more stringent conditions.
The formation of a wet corpse must not only be in a space with high humidity, but also a completely enclosed space without oxygen!
The reason why I say this is that those who have studied biology know that in a relatively high humidity and aerobic environment, it is very conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, which will accelerate the decay of the corpse and make it impossible to form a wet corpse.
There are at least two conditions for the formation of wet corpses, one is high humidity, and the other is an oxygen-free environment.
This underground cave is not to be thought of, it was originally an underground water vein, which was sealed by the stone statue of the camel stele under the Baxia, forming a natural high humidity and completely enclosed oxygen-free space.
Now that the stone statue of the camel stele has been opened, it is estimated that it will not take long for these wet corpses to decompose and turn into bones.
At this time, I lowered my head and looked at the countless dense wet corpses in front of me, with the help of the light of the flashlight, I could clearly see the facial expressions of these wet corpses, although they had been dead for thousands of years, but the kind of fish scale armor that was only in the Qin and Han dynasties on their bodies was not corroded, and they still retained their expressions before death, which can be described as lifelike.
Some are sad, some are serene, and all beings can be found on the faces of these corpses.
But I noticed the slightest strangeness, the only thing on these corpses and figurines was that there was no fear or fear on their bodies.
This shows that they died peacefully, as if they had been killed without knowing it, and died without any pain.
But what kind of force can kill all 10,000 people without pain?
Thinking of this, I looked at Zuo Tianmei who was walking in the front, Zuo Tianmei had been looking at these corpses with full attention, and only said after a while: "I originally thought that with the study of the Queen Mother of the West, I had thoroughly figured out the history of the Queen Mother of the West, but now it seems that I only know a little about the skin!" As far as I know, the Queen Mother of the West is proficient in magic! What kind of spell can cause so much damage in an instant, so that all the soldiers die here in an instant? Could it be the power of the Nine Heavenly Books? I wonder what is the purpose of the bodies of these soldiers appearing here? ”
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Spells?" How do you know that these soldiers must have been killed by the Queen Mother of the West? Also, what kind of existence is the magic you are talking about? ”
Zuo Tianmei said: "These soldiers are wearing the armor of the Han Dynasty, don't think that it must be the army under the hands of Qin Shi Huang, who went to West Kunlun to find the Western Queen Mother Clan in vain to get the elixir of life!" According to historical records, Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan, two generals, were ordered by Qin Shi Huang to go to West Kunlun to find the elixir of immortality! However, after the 100,000 army entered West Kunlun, it ended without a problem. It was not until the peasant army uprising in the year of the Qin Dynasty that Zhao Tuo suddenly declared himself king in the South Vietnamese region. ”
I always feel that there is an ominous thing in this underground cave, but I can't say it specifically, maybe because there are too many dead people, even if there are really no ghosts in this world, but the corpses of tens of thousands of ancient soldiers from 2,000 years ago stand straight in front of me, which also makes people feel terrified.
I didn't know what terrible secrets were hidden in this so-called underground vein, and we didn't know anything about what was going on inside, so it would be better to investigate it first, so we shot around with our flashlights.
White light swept over the bodies of these ancient soldiers, and for the first time in thousands of years, there was probably a light that broke the silence in the darkness.
The soldiers of ancient times were much taller than modern people!
Of course, it's just my delusion. The corpses here turned into wet corpses, and because of the too much water in their bodies, the corpses swelled up like inflated balloons.
Wherever the light of the flashlight passed, in the square of this underground cavern, where the light passed, there were these wet corpses everywhere in our field of vision, and more places were blank, but the light of the flashlight could vaguely distinguish the dense figures of people, who were silent in the terrifying dark world.
The width of this underground cave is very large, at least more than a hundred meters wide, like a huge underground square, on which are densely packed with corpses, as if ancient soldiers are waiting for battle.
I stepped forward and patted Zuo Tianmei on the shoulder, pointed to the dark depths ahead, and motioned for everyone to go over and search for some unknown situations together.
In fact, the three of us are now thirsty due to chronic water shortages, and I don't have the heart to admire these corpses at this time, and the focus for us at the moment is to find water before we die of thirst.
Otherwise, everyone will really die here.
Zuo Tianmei nodded. So I put the flashlight in my mouth so that I could let go of my hands and forcefully push away the rows of wet corpses in front of me.
These dense corpses are like reefs in the sea that hinder the navigation of ships, very annoying, especially when the wet corpses touch my body intentionally or unintentionally, and the feeling of chill makes me feel a heartbeat.
