Chapter 247: The Ring of the Ring
I was about to follow Zhao Zitong when I suddenly heard Liu Fatzi shouting next to me: "Fifth brother, come here." ’££ Wen ’ Small’£ said, "
Liu Fatzi squatted near a stone peak not far away, his fat body was still carrying a bag, which looked like a deformed gourd, which was a little funny.
He looked down and didn't know what he was looking at, but he probably had some presence.
I hurriedly walked over, frowned and asked, "What's now?" β
"Look here."
Liu Fatzi said and moved to the side, pointed to the ground in front of him, and asked me to see.
I looked at it coldly, there was nothing unusual, and I was suspecting that Liu Fatzi was joking on any occasion.
Suddenly, a small black dot caught my attention.
Confused, I leaned over and looked down, and now the black spot turned out to be a cross-section of a piece of wood.
This...... What is it?
I cleared the area around the wood with a sapper shovel and found the rail groove, and immediately guessed that this was the reason for the movement of the corpses.
However, this does not do much for us now.
Could it be that Liu Fatzi has other appearances?
Liu Fatzi seemed to see my doubts, pointed to the wooden cut and said to me: "Fifth brother, if you take a closer look, the annual rings on it don't seem to be normal, a bit like some kind of animal pattern." β
The rings could indeed be vaguely identified on the section of the wood, but if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't notice it.
After a moment of careful observation, I was shocked and frowned.
Liu Fatzi whispered: "What do you see?" β
I do have a guess in my mind, but it's too incredible to know for sure.
Zhao Zitong and Leng Yue also came over at this time, squatting next to me, and also carefully observing the section of the wood.
Leng Yue frowned, and whispered with some confusion: "Raccoon? β
Yes, the pattern of the annual rings is a bit like a stick figure drawn into a raccoon tree, very simple and rough, if you don't think of it in advance, there is no way to think of it.
The pattern is just the head of a fox, which looks like a tiger's head, but there are two cracks extending from what appears to be nostrils, like the kind of fox we see in Hulunbuir.
To make sure, I tried to cut a piece of wood with the head of a sapper's shovel and then looked at the rings, which are still the case.
Could this place, thousands of kilometers away, also worship the raccoon?
If this is the case, then the totemic culture that has spread for thousands of years to the present day will be questioned, and many of the influences that we cannot imagine will be further extended, and even have a certain impact on the ancient culture we know.
If it weren't for Yang Qing's influence, I really wouldn't have thought of it so much.
I got up, thought about it for a while, and said, "Leave these things alone, what we need to do most now is to find a way to save Shen Dali and Zhang Yi." Leave these things to the archaeological community. β
I don't think so, even though I say that.
First there is a hanging coffin hidden in the stone peak, and then I see the annual rings with the pattern of the raccoon here, I don't believe that there is any connection between this, and I even vaguely perceive that there is a certain connection between this place and the story seen in the ship-shaped tomb.
It's a big deal, and it's going to have to do with our search for that half of the relief sphere, but we have to be clear about what needs to be done most at the moment.
After leaving a mark here, we followed Zhao Zitong to the place where they were in distress before.
However, we had not walked long when we suddenly saw a man leaning on a rocky peak, with his arms folded, his head bowed, not moving, not even breathing.
We were taken aback by this man and immediately became alarmed. After all, there shouldn't be anyone in this place at all.
The man must have noticed us, looked up instead and squeezed out a strange smile at us.
When I looked at the man's face, my heart was shocked, and I suddenly felt a little frightened and uneasy.
It turned out to be Chen Tao, Chen Tao who was already dead.
Liu Fatzi and I personally shoveled his body into a woven bag and sent it away by helicopter, we can be sure that he is completely dead, how could he be here?
Leng Yue took out the pair of iron chopsticks and reminded in a low voice, "Soul Mud." β
By the way, last time around here, I also encountered the terrifying Yang Qing and Zhang Yi, who were also dementored mud.
In this way, we should not be far from the place.
After "Chen Tao" smiled at us, his face began to become hideous.
Just when I thought he was going to rush towards us, I saw him turn around and run wildly, and after a while he disappeared around the corner, only the sound of footsteps came farther and farther away.
Zhao Zitong and Liu Fatzi had never seen the dementor mud, and they didn't know what was going on.
Liu Fatzi asked me tremblingly: "Fifth brother, isn't that grandson already dead?" We're not seeing ghosts, are we? β
After I patiently explained the dementor mud in the shortest language, I heard Liu Fatzi say distressedly: "Damn, it's better to be a ghost, at least cinnabar can still deal with it." If it's a pile of mud, what can you do with it? Fifth brother, is it okay for the boy to pee? β
Zhao Zitong glanced at Liu Fatzi with disgust, and spit on him: "I'm sorry, why are you still a child?" β
Liu Fatzi nodded and said, "Yes, I have been practicing as a boy for more than ten years, of course I am a boy." What's the matter, do you want to try it? β
I hurriedly said, "When the are you still talking here, hurry up and get down to business." Even if that thing really can't be dealt with, don't you want to save Shen Dali? β
Liu Fatzi immediately shut up and didn't speak, and secretly pouted at Zhao Zitong and grimaced, and the angry Zhao Zitong turned his head to look to the side and muttered: "It's annoying to look at him, a face that is not flattened." β
Because we're already close to that area, we're probably going to face anyone who the Dementor Muds has turned into.
In order to prevent special situations, I asked Zhao Zitong to turn out white gauze, tie each person to his right arm, and tie a complex military knot.
I learned this knot from Shen Dali, although it is tightly tied, as long as you find the right one, it can be easily opened.
Even so, I still felt unsure, so I took out a pen and wrote a "five" on the white gauze of each person as a mark.
Then, we move on.
After a while, we came to a relatively spacious open space, and not far from us stood a stone statue in the shape of an old woman, with one hand on crutches, which seemed to be a goddess.
Zhao Zitong stopped and said, "This is it." β
When I looked at the stone statue, I felt uneasy, and asked Leng Yue in a low voice, "There won't be anything like a Gu baby in there, right?" β
Leng Yue stepped forward slowly, raised her hand and tapped lightly on the stone statue, and turned back to tell me, "No." β
I was about to put my heart back in my stomach, but it immediately hung again.
Because I saw that behind the stone statue, a gray-black hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Leng Yue's head.
