Chapter 152: Altar Relief
Unlike Chen Yun's guess, the huge monster that appeared in front of us right now was neither a dinosaur nor any kind of creature known to mankind so far, but a giant monster similar to a wolf with a single horn on its head.
This thing has very strong, well-developed limbs, the body is as large as a pile of small hills, the scarlet eyes are full of anger, running to the side of the altar and rampage, knocking down several stone sculptures, the front paws are very irritable to scrape the altar, leaving deep scratches, the bluestone stone platform, under his minions is as fragile as tofu.
"What a big ......" Ge Zhuang was deeply shocked, covering his mouth with his hands, but couldn't help but whisper, "What kind of monster is this, how does it look like an elephant?" ”
In fact, this monster has surpassed the size of ordinary elephants, and its length is almost ten meters! Unlike the clumsy elephant, the skeleton was large enough to support its size, and it was agile, jumping up and down the stone platform like a cat at play.
However, from the manic eyes of the monster inadvertently, I could feel the anger hidden deep in its heart, and it continued to attack the stone platform, and even stepped on the stone troughs filled with tung oil with its claws, which must have been stimulated by the firelight.
The beast is naturally afraid of fire, and this monster is no exception, it seems to be full of hatred for these flames, and it does everything it can to crush the light source, and the entire altar is rampant, knocking down a piece, and even the bluestone bricks under its feet are crushed, setting off a cloud of mud.
A few of us lay dead on the edge of the fossil rainforest, and we were horrified to see the monster wreaking havoc on the stone platform, hoping that the beast would be able to leave as soon as possible after the flames had been extinguished.
Look at the movement of the monster, I'm afraid there will be no way to extinguish all the flames for a while, tung oil is very flammable, although not as good as gasoline, once ignited, it can still burn for a long time, we are in a position close to the monster, for fear that it will be affected, so I quickly put away the cold light stick, glanced at Chen Yun and others, and led everyone to lurk along the side to a relatively complete platform on the right.
In addition to the altar that was being wreaked havoc by monsters in front of us, we found another huge stone platform in front of the rainforest, there were no steps or statues, it was very smooth and smooth, and I didn't know what it was for, so everyone walked to the stone platform with their waists bent, and their eyes narrowed, and through the light scattered in the jungle, I found that under this stone platform, there were many huge vines, densely intertwined, covering most of the stone platform.
These vines are all living creatures, pinched with our hands, the touch is very cold, the branches and leaves are relatively soft, we took out the equipment in the mountaineering bag and piled it up behind the platform, Chen Yun looked curious towards the artificial carving traces on the platform, the square is quite neat, but it is covered with dark green moss, covering all the patterns below.
I heard Xiao Zhang asking Chen Yun, "I don't know if this kind of stone platform is related to the ancient Yelang ruins, if it is, I don't know what they are using to build this kind of stone platform." ”
Ge Zhuang said, "Even a blind person can see that the stone here is matched with the altar just now, and that side is used by the ancient Yelang people to worship the gods, and this side is likely to be a sacrifice for the gods. ”
As he spoke, Ge Zhuang pulled out the sapper shovel, put on the extended lever at the back, and shoveled the green vine radish on the platform.
The sapper shovel with the blade is very sharp, more convenient than * to cut, Ge Zhuang has quick hands and feet, and soon the green vines wrapped around the stone platform are removed, only to see that there is no hidden buckle on the stone platform, but there are many relief characters, which are very complicated.
When Ge Zhuang saw the words on it, he couldn't understand it, so he had to look back at Xiao Zhang, "Do you recognize it?" Xiao Zhang leaned up and looked at it twice, and said that he didn't recognize it, these should not belong to words, but some kind of sacrificial symbols, and there was no great practical significance.
When the weapon entered in front of him, a trace of fierceness flashed in Ge Zhuang's eyes, and he said that since you all think it is useless, the fat master will shovel it and continue to dig. Saying that he was about to make a move, Chen Yun hurriedly stopped him and said You slow down, why are you in a hurry? These reliefs may be useful, but you have to take them back and study them before you know, and if you dodge them, at least let me take a few pictures first.
I said you're stupid, there's that monster not far away, this thing is so sensitive to light, doesn't you turn on the camera and tell it, we're over here?
I'm also secretly anxious in my heart, we've been in the petrified rainforest here for a long time, and so far, we haven't found any decent clues, and the people from the RAND Corporation don't know where to go, for fear that the baby will be taken first.
Topographically, we should have approached the center of this petrified rainforest, and if we can't find any clues here, I'm afraid that this trip is doomed to be in vain, and we don't know how many giant beasts lurk in this forest, and if we stay for a second, we will have to take an extra risk.
I can only hope that you can find valuable clues in these altars, and if you can find them, you can fight and continue the adventure, and if you can't find them, you can only consider retreating.
When my mind changed, Chen Yun suddenly said, "These reliefs should be protected intact, there are a lot of vacancies on them, in my opinion, since we can find two altars, maybe we can find the third one, or everyone is scattered, look for it nearby?" ”
Ge Zhuang said that you think it's simple, the big monster is still tossing the altar, and now it's scattered to find this relief pattern, isn't it everyone lining up to find death?
Chen Yun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll kill this monster!" When I heard this, my heart trembled, and I smiled bitterly, "To put it simply, this monster is so huge, how can I kill him, I'm afraid that you and I are not enough to stuff people's teeth, only the fat man's body can make it chew a bite or two." ”
Ge Zhuang's face turned blue with anger, "I'll go to your uncle, when is the little pumpkin, can you not squeeze me, the eldest sister is right, this thing is blocked in front, it is a stubborn stone that blocks the torrent of history rolling forward, the fat master doesn't pull it out first, I don't feel happy!" ”
I said fatty, what's your good idea?
Ge Zhuang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly slapped his head, "Knowledge is power, you don't have to think about it, how did our human ancestors broadcast and sow seeds in that harsh environment and jointly create the next generation?" You can only outwit this kind of monster, you can't fight hard, old Zhong, do you have * there? The fat man thought of a way! ”
