Chapter 150: The Altar of Stagnant Water
The sound of dull footsteps slowly passed by us, and the ground trembled slightly every time the sound of landing sounded.
I suppressed my breathing, for fear that a little more panting would attract the attention of the monster, but fortunately it was not, the monster was too large, and our size was as small as a toy compared to this monster, and with so much petrified shade covering, it never noticed us, and finally after a reluctant roar, it began to walk into the depths of darkness.
The footsteps gradually walked away, and I let go of the hand that was holding Ge Zhuang's lips, my back was already soaked in cold sweat, and I fell to the ground gasping for breath.
......Soon after, there was a faint light in the darkness of the night, and then there was a gentle sound of footsteps approaching me, and I heard the old bell whispering to me, and I sat up hurriedly. The fluorescent dots in the darkness became brighter and brighter, and I could see clearly that it was the old clock because the old clock was holding a cold light rod in his hand, and there was a faint light flickering in the dark, which also guided the direction of the people scattered on the side.
Two minutes later, everyone was gathered again, and none of us dared to turn on the searchlights, and each of us had a cold light rod in our hands, and we all curled up in the petrified rainforest.
The brightness of this cold light stick is very weak, and it can only detect a distance of less than two meters, so we don't have to worry about being spotted by that kind of monster, but in this way, our vision is also compressed a lot, and we can't see the surrounding environment clearly.
After everyone had gasped for breath, Chen Yun whispered, "Why do I think this crack in the ground is not so much like the civilization ruins of Gu Yelang, but more like something before ancient times?" I whispered, "Did you guess what?" ”
Chen Yun shook his head in the dim light, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it was a dinosaur that attacked us just now, it's a dinosaur that has long been extinct!" ”
What the!
These words made my jaw almost fall to the ground, and everyone threw their heads at Chen Yun as if they had heard a joke, saying hell, when did the dinosaurs become extinct? That was tens of millions of years ago, Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous? I'd rather believe that there are aliens in this world than believe such a ridiculous claim.
Chen Yun waited for me to finish complaining before saying, "Then what do you think this should be?" ”
I was stopped by her rhetorical question, and I kept my face calm and didn't speak. Xiao Zhang suddenly said, "I support Professor Chen's statement, I have found a lot of Cretaceous plant fossils in the ground crevice, indicating that this crevice was born at least in that era, you think about it, this should be a natural canyon, but why is it covered by rocks, forming such a large scale of ground fissure?" There is only one explanation, and that is a disaster! ”
Xiao Zhang went on to explain that it is possible that in ancient times, a huge geological disaster occurred on the earth, which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, and it was precisely because of this geological disaster that the canyon was covered and formed a natural crevice, and the original ancient creatures in the crevice were preserved and reproduced to this day.
I retorted, "The cracks in the ground are semi-enclosed, there is air and water, but there is no sunlight, and large areas of rainforest are covered with limestone and have limited resources, so such an ecological environment cannot provide enough environment for dinosaurs to survive." "Xiao Zhang asked me rhetorically, saying that since this is the case, how should the monster just now be explained?
I smiled wryly, "I don't know, I believe it's a dinosaur anyway." ”
Chen Yun said don't argue, let's continue to explore the way, I have a kind of directness, there are a lot of secrets in this crack, maybe not only including the ruins of the ancient Yelang's civilization.
I'm starting to retreat now, I'm not afraid of ghosts, and I'm not afraid of zongzi, compared to the giant monster just now, zongzi and ghosts are a ball? Absolute size means absolute strength, and this monster only needs one charge to completely crush us, even with heavy artillery, I'm afraid it won't help.
It's hard to get here, if I give up lightly, I will inevitably be seen by Chen Yun, scolding me for being cowardly, I'm just dying to save face and suffer crimes, obviously I'm very scared, but I'm embarrassed to say it, and pushed Ge Zhuang with my elbow, "Fatty, are you afraid?" ”
From what I know about Ge Zhuang, this grandson must be very scared at this time, but who knows that he said with a straight face, "Who is afraid?" It's the puppies that I'm afraid of! ”
I righteously warned him, "It's okay fat man, if you are afraid, just say it, and my brother will take you back after speaking!" ”
I hope that this dead fat man can cry twice now, so that I have a reason to take everyone away, but this dead fat man has the same virtue as me, and the dead duck has a hard mouth, but he refuses to let go. Chen Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so she squeezed me and said, "Sima Nan, I think it's clear that you are scared yourself, why are you embarrassed to be a fat man?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was not happy, patted my ass and stood up, saying that all opposition is a paper tiger, I am afraid of a ball? Chen Yun said that's good, you go ahead and explore the way!
My heels were weak, and I froze there holding the cold light stick, Ge Zhuang smiled sheepishly, slapped my ass with big paws, and said You are called lifting a stone to hit your own feet, aren't you afraid?
I stubbornly said, of course I'm not afraid, but Grandpa Mao has taught us to be modest since then, and this opportunity to show meritorious service should be given to other comrades! Chen Yun glanced at me and said with a bitter face, "Sima Nan, I found that your face is getting thicker and thicker, and you shout slogans one by one, and you are very high-sounding, do you want to go?" ”
I said with a dark face, let's go.
Turning my back, I had the urge to slap myself, and I boasted of Haikou, so I could only grit my teeth and explore the way, anyway, just these few people, if I don't walk in front, I have to change the old bell or Ge Zhuang to walk in front.
There were water droplets on the stalactites in front of us, ticking and ticking, and through this petrified forest, we came to a shallow beach with stagnant water, which used to be like an altar, but it was only thousands of years, and no one maintained it, so it was filled with a lot of water, and I squatted down, with the help of a little glimmer of light emitted from the cold light stick, I looked carefully in this shallow, and stood up for a long time and said,
"There are stone bricks on the ground, which are obviously man-made, indicating that there were indeed signs of human activity here thousands of years ago, presumably where they sacrificed to the gods."
Ge Zhuang was puzzled, "If the ancient Yelang people are here to worship the gods, then what is the mountain temple we walked through before?" "I said fatty, that mountain temple is just a disguise, it is used to cover up the truth of history, of course a wooden head like you can't figure out the key, even in ancient times, with your wisdom, it is lower than the average level of human beings.
Ge Zhuang was anxious, and argued with me that his IQ was absolutely superb, looking at human history, only the Western surnamed "Ai" could be a tie, Chen Yun asked us not to make noise, and stopped us, and she began to study this altar carefully.
