Chapter 168: The Remains of a Giant

The mouth of the fountain of the underground volcano presents an irregular column, the ground is very high, the air temperature here should exceed forty degrees, people walking in the vicinity is quite hot, we walked slowly, and Ah Li, who walked at the end, suddenly fell.

"What's the matter, I'm not careful when I walk." Ge Zhuang walked in the middle of the line and reached out to help her. When he lifted Ah Li up from the ground, I saw Ah Li's face pale, as if he had been extremely frightened, and he couldn't help but tremble on his shoulders.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zhang's attention was always on Ah Li, and when he saw this, he went up to ask.

Ali didn't speak, but pointed her trembling fingers at the ground, and we were curious, so we shot the flashlight at the place she was pointing, and the scene that appeared in front of us made people shrink and everyone fell into panic.

It wasn't a stone that stumbled over Ali, but a dark cyan white bone, the difference was that the white bone was half a man's height, one protruding from the ground, and the other half was deeply embedded in the stone, as if forming a whole, and had become a complete fossil.

"What is this, could it be the remains of that monster?" At first glance, seeing such a huge white bone, everyone's faces were not right, and a few pillars of light swept directly above the white bone, Chen Yun slowly moved over, squatted down and checked it, then looked up at us with a pale face, "The corpses of the giant clan ......"

"You say it's a human corpse...... Is this possible? Chen Yun's words shocked my hair and said blankly.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to refute me, if you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself what this should be." Chen Yun raised her face, and I could see that even she was in a huge shock.

Hearing this, we all trotted over, holding a pillar of light and searching, this bone embedded in the surface layer is very similar to a human leg bone, but it has been magnified several times, and the bone is hard, Ge Zhuang has no way to pry it with a knife.

"Fatty, don't move!" Chen Yun hurriedly stopped Ge Zhuang, who was about to pry the bones with a shovel, and said with a calm face, "Let's look around first and see if we can find other fossil bones." ”

Ge Zhuang put down the crowbar and searched with us, and sure enough, not long after, Lao Zhong found another rib, still embedded in the rock layer, about a meter long, and the width was about the size of an adult's wrist.

Chen Yun sprinkled white lime on the scattered corpses, roughly restoring the outline of a humanoid body, and we found more than 20 humanoid bones nearby, each of which was deeply embedded in the ground, covered by hard limestone for most of it, and the body size was also very scary, at least two or three times magnified compared to ordinary humans.

Chen Yun looked at the ground with a shocked expression, the humanoid silhouette that she had roughly restored with lime powder, and muttered, "The Ancient Giant Clan has really appeared, this is ironclad evidence!" "Like her, I was so shocked that I could barely speak.

The corpses of the giants scattered nearby have basically been found, and it is as if looking down from a high place, we can completely piece together the outline of a giant more than six meters tall lying on the ground, this phenomenon subverts my cognition.

I said in a trembling voice, "It seems that you are right, there were indeed giants in ancient times, and our ancestors were not the only human race, but the bones we found were not complete, where are the other bones, could it be that the monsters took them?" ”

Chen Yun said no, the reason why the bones of this giant will stay here should be in ancient times, erupting a stream of magma, when he didn't have time to escape, so he was covered under the magma flow, after being scalded to death by high temperature, the corpse also precipitated under the magma, after tens of millions of years of petrification in front of our eyes, presumably the remaining bones are in the rocks.

I took a deep breath and said what did such a large race of people rely on to survive in ancient times? Chen Yun's brows tightened, and he suddenly raised a possibility, "Do you remember the golden toad that was cultivated in the belly of that female corpse just now?" ”

I was shocked in my heart, and I was shocked, "Could it be that the ancients used the corpses to breed so many golden toads in order to raise the giant clan?" ”

"That's how it should be." Chen Yun nodded and said, "This kind of golden toad has been recorded in ancient books, but it has long been extinct in modern times, it is estimated that it is because their egg-laying requirements are too harsh and the growth environment is too small, but the ancient Yelang people invented this method, using the corpse to breed toads, spending such a large price, presumably to sacrifice their 'gods'!" ”

I felt that this speculation was very funny, but I couldn't find a reason to refute Chen Yun in my heart, and a cold sweat suddenly came down, and said, "The ancient Yelang people worship this giant as a god, why don't they invite it to the ground openly, but let it live in the cracks of the ground with such a bad ecology?" ”

Chen Yun said, "I don't know about this, let's keep walking up, maybe we will get the reason." ”

With that, she led us on, slowly approaching the mouth of the underground volcano.

Tens of millions of years ago, there were countless times of magma erosion here, and the magma flow after cold cutting formed a thick layer of limestone, covering the slope, but the surface was bare, not an inch long, only some raised prismatic stones, which seemed extremely abrupt, I walked and said, "These stones grow so strangely, one by one, they are convex, sharp like a stone spear, what kind of terrain can grow such stones?" ”

Chen Yun explained in a condensed voice, "These protruding things are not rocks at all, but petrified bones and stone tools, which are formed by solidification after being covered by magma flows. "I looked at the densely piled prismatic rocks on the road leading to the crater, and I was shocked, saying that these fossils were at least five or six meters long, and indeed resembled the weapons of the giants, so I am afraid that there are quite a few giants living here.

Chen Yun analyzed as he walked, "That's right, according to the relief records we found before, there was a protracted war here in ancient times, and the ancient Yelang people suffered huge consumption in this battle, which led to the decline of national strength, and was finally destroyed by the Han Dynasty, it seems that the content recorded on the relief is true." ”

Ge Zhuang smiled, "Big sister, how do I feel that the more I listen to it, the more it looks like a mythical story, if the content on the relief is all true, then there really are abyssal monsters in this world?" Chen Yun looked back at him and said Do you remember the eye we saw in the crack in the ground when we escaped from the tomb of the Emperor of the Emperor?

Hearing this, Ge Zhuang subconsciously shuddered.

We can't refute the fact that it has happened, at the beginning of the tomb of the Emperor, we did see a monster as large as a mountain, the eye alone has a diameter of two floors, and in the end, it was because the entire mountain collapsed that the monster was buried.
