Deadly pursuit
That's not right! Gao Moli has already walked to the depths of the tomb, Hei Niu and Gu Yixin are on both sides of me, the four of us have all come out, there must be no one in the tomb, so who made such a clear and heavy gasp?
I turned around abruptly to see that the spotlight was shining into the dark passage, and I saw two fist-sized eyes sticking to the top of the cave, those two eyes were like ripe persimmons, scarlet and dazzling, and a little spicy. The heavy wheezing sound came from the huge mouth under the eyes, which was hidden in the short jaw, which was squeezed and deformed, blocking the dark passage horizontally.
Damn, this mountain god monster actually squeezed the front half of his body into the dark passage, and it looks like he is determined to get in. But how did its massive body squeeze into the tunnel?
I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so I shouted, "Run, that mountain god monster is going to climb in!" Pull Gu Yixin forward and run for his life.
The black bull was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced into the dark passage in disbelief, until he saw the monster's forehead with his own eyes, and then ran away. While running, he shouted: "Damn! What a ghost! That thing can also drill into the dark tunnel, which means that the body size is not as big as we thought. ”
At this time, Gao Moli had disappeared into the tomb. We ran forward with all our strength, and after running not far, Gu Yixin's ankle suddenly twisted, and he couldn't move in pain. I picked her up on my back and continued on my way, but it was noticeably slower.
At this time, there was a roar behind me, I turned my head to look, only to see that the head of the mountain god monster had drilled out of the dark passage, it roared, spewing out bursts of white mist, and two rows of sharp teeth were faintly visible in the mist. One of the monster's front paws also stretched out of the dark passage, and it was moving its body out of the dark passage. It's about to break into the graveyard.
"Two feet are no match for four hooves! We won't be able to outrun this monster, so get to the bronze statue! The black bull said, like an ape, took the lead in climbing to the bronze statue on the side of the tomb, and hung down the climbing rope to pull Gu Yixin up.
By the time I climbed up and stood firm, the monster had completely emerged from the tunnel. It stood still in the chamber, shaking its body, its torso suddenly growing as if by magic, and its limbs fluffing out like compacted cotton. At this point, the true face of the mountain god was revealed: the head was as sharp as the head of a lizard, and the two scarlet eyes were like two ghostly lamps, inlaid on a short jaw full of sharp teeth; Its body and limbs are as strong as a tiger and leopard, and its tail is thick and strong. The whole body looks like a large elongated truck.
The black bull exclaimed: "Good girl, this mountain god will shrink bones!" Such a big guy actually came in through the dark tunnel, and it seems that it is determined to open the meat with us today. ”
"Be quiet, turn off the spotlights!" With that, I turned off the spotlights and stared nervously at the mountain monster for fear it would find out where we were hiding.
The monster had lived in the fluorite mine for many years, and its body was stained with a lot of fluorite mines, and at this time it was emitting a bright green light, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark tomb. After its body was fully stretched, it let out a roar and slowly walked towards the depths of the tomb with its head down.
The bronze statue we are on is about 10 meters high, which is unusually large, and it is in the shape of a monkey's head. Gu Yixin and I sat on the monkey's shoulders, and the black bull squatted like a peach on the monkey's raised palm.
Seeing that the monster was walking very slowly, the black bull couldn't help but whisper to me: "Old Su, do you think the eyes of this mountain god are good?" ”
"But all the creatures that have been locked underground for a long time have no sense of sight and hearing, and even if it finds us, this bronze statue of more than ten meters is not something that can be climbed up." As I spoke, I turned my head and asked Gu Yixin, "Do you think these bronze sculptures in the tomb are weird?" They don't look like tomb-guarding beasts, nor do they look like normal animals. ”
Gu Yixin snorted and said, "What is surprising is not only the shape of the statue, but also its huge size!" The bronze statues in the tomb are about ten meters high, just in the process of climbing up, I noticed a detail, there is no welding gap between the limbs of these bronze statues, the whole statue is actually cast in one piece, this kind of bronze casting technology and process, not to mention in ancient times, even in the development of science and technology today may not be able to achieve. Moreover, the shapes of these bronze sculptures are mostly strange and exaggerated animals. So, I guess it's very likely that these bronze statues are from the era when the bronze civilization was at its peak. ”
"Xiao Gu, you said so much, I didn't hear what you had to say." Black Bull asked puzzled.
I was about to open my mouth to explain to the black bull, but I noticed that the huge body in the tomb that was emitting a bright green light was slowly approaching the direction where we were, so I had to swallow back the words that came to my mouth.
In fact, after Gu Yixin's explanation just now, I also thought that the huge and strange bronze statues in the tomb are likely to come from the ancient Dian Kingdom, where the bronze culture was at its peak. According to historical records, the ancient Dian people worshiped nature and creatures in the natural world very much, and many of their bronzes were animal shapes, adding romantic artistic colors on the basis of realism, making the bronze statues full of artistic tension.
In addition, the bronze smelting and manufacturing processes of the ancient Dian Kingdom have reached their peak, and both artistic conception and expression techniques are more open and creative. Therefore, the ancient Dian bronzes occupy an important position in the history of the world's ancient bronze civilization and are praised by the international academic community as one of the world's four major bronze civilization systems.
If the bronze statues in the tomb are from the ancient Dian Kingdom, then why do they appear in the underground palace of Yizhou Thorn History? Or, where is this?
Just as we were thinking, there was a familiar roar from under the bronze statue of the human monkey we were. I quickly looked down and saw that the mountain god monster was looking up with its head up. Two scarlet eyes looked through the darkness and looked at us.
The black bull took the big black eagle from his back and asked me in a very low voice: "Old Su, didn't you say that its hearing and vision have deteriorated?" How do I think it can see us? ”
"Smell! It must smell us! Gu Yixin replied in a low voice.
When we fought the half-human, half-worm monster in the tomb of the Thorn in Yizhou, we were stained with a lot of dragon's blood sap. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty used dragon blood sap and human heads to sacrifice this mountain god monster. Therefore, at this time, it probably smelled the smell of dragon's blood sap and easily found us.
The mountain god monster roared excitedly, its two thick front paws already holding at the bronze statue, ready to climb up.
"Take off your coat and throw it away!" I shouted eagerly, reaching for my jacket.
Gu Yixin forgot that her ankle had been injured, and she was about to stand up and take off her coat. Suddenly, her ankle hurt, she couldn't stand steadily, and she fell under the bronze statue.
