Chapter 204: Oracle Bone
The sharp noise suddenly rose, and the ruler, who had always been very cooperative, couldn't stop tossing. It roared to itself as if it had life, and its power was so great that I couldn't hold it!
What's wrong?!
Grabbing the wrist of my right hand with my left hand, I stared at it in horror as I had never seen before, when the beaver crouching on the stone monument and giggling realized the danger, and it jumped down with a sudden leap and ran straight up a hill in the middle of the clearing.
I turned my head to catch up, but when I looked up, I was startled by the scene in front of me, I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I saw it really, it turned out that the small hole that the beaver got into was not born on a hill at all, and the place where it got into it was the right eye frame of a huge skeleton one meter square!
"Oh my God" Chubby They came up from the grass, and as soon as she looked up, she was frightened by the huge skeleton in the middle of the clearing, and sat on the ground, she threw her chin back and stumbled, "What the hell is this!! Why is it so big!! ”
"Looks like an orc," I said, looking at the huge corpse that craned its neck as if it was howling.
I tried to convince myself that it might be a dinosaur fossil or something, knowing that once upon a time, there were such big beasts, but I stared at the skull for a long time before I realized that I was indeed deluding myself with this idea.
It was clearly a dried corpse!
The skeletal parts of it also have a lot of air-dried muscles, especially the arm with a string of bones, the bones are intact and the muscles are on display, all of which are very similar to the legendary dry corpses that do not rot.
I dare to vouch for my life, this is not a sculpture, this is definitely a huge corpse that has not completely decomposed after I don't know how many years.
But
Who is he?
Looking up and down this corpse, I found that the shape of this thing is quite good, this guy's body, tied with a lot of iron chains, the iron chains are almost as thick as a bucket, black and very tattered, and what shocks people is not the shackles coiled around the body, the most shocking thing is a giant python in its left hand.
The python held its head high and went straight to the sky, its muscular snake skin had long since weathered, the gray-brown snake bones were full of moss, it struggled, writhed, coiled around the giant's body, and in front of it, the monitor lizard was not huge at all.
I don't know what makes this python, which has turned into a pile of white bones, still be able to maintain such a proud posture, but I know that this huge corpse is obviously a little evil, the ninth master tilted his chin, and showed unprecedented fear, at this moment, Xiao Fat pointed to the right foot of the half-kneeling giant and exclaimed: "Look, there is another one here!" ”
After saying this, we cast our eyes over, but this look, immediately frightened to the scene in front of us half dead, at the feet of the giant, also stepped on a giant python, the giant python was even bigger than the one we saw just now, the giant stepped on its neck, but it jumped out with all its strength, the fangs of that mouth did not look like an ordinary snake, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, the momentum still exists.
Shaking my head, I overcame my fear, stood in front of the mouth as tall as I was, pulled out one of the bones and found that it could be used as a murder weapon.
Ordinary pythons also have fangs, but most snakes only have the upper two tusks that are relatively developed, and their role is mostly focused on injecting venom, to put it bluntly, those two teeth are hollow, and when biting on the target, they bear a special function similar to a needle.
And this one is different, its teeth are real canine teeth, a bit like the teeth of the saber-toothed tiger on TV, very long, very pointed, more like many daggers in the mouth.
A giant holding two big snakes, is this man a snake catcher?
Looking up at the huge skeleton that was a little hideous, I didn't think it looked like it, this person's skeleton was very modern and different, the most obvious was the skull.
The proportions of his head are more than three times that of ordinary people, his high forehead is indescribably weird, and his mouth full of fangs, he can't distinguish between canines and molars, what is this special person?
It can also be said that it is not human, and his body shape is no different from ordinary people, but it is much more burly than ordinary people. Moreover, his metacarpal bones are quite well developed, and they are definitely not comparable to ordinary primates. It's not going to be an ape, a baboon, a gorilla or something, it's definitely a person! A half-orc with a mouth full of fangs and a visual height of nearly ten meters!
Obviously, the three of us were shocked by the scene in front of us, the three of us were busy with each other, and they didn't have time to communicate with each other when they looked up and down, in addition to the appearance and identity of this thing, what made me strange was the chain on that person's body, as I said earlier, this chain was almost as thick as a bucket, crisscrossing and not knowing what it represented.
Sparse grass grew from the man's feet, and something like a creeper was wrapped around it, and from a distance, the giant with two pythons still in a half-kneeling position looked like a small mountain.
"It's supposed to be locked here." Walking near the man, I looked at the chains deep in the earth to make sure.
"Moreover, locked up for many years." I touched the rust that could be more than an inch thick, and the ninth master said.
Hearing this, I nodded, and immediately corrected: "From this rust, these chains look like bronze, and if you look over there, the other side is iron, and it seems that after it died, someone came here to strengthen these chains." As far as I know, bronze appeared relatively early, but iron-smelting technology was gradually developed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make such huge iron tools. Having said that, the one who can make such a big project in this wilderness is not only the prince and noble, but also the tribal chief who leans on the powerful side, Ninth Master, you say, who is this guy? Why are you locked here? ”
"You ask me, I want to ask you. Don't you know how much, there is a text on the stele, see if you can translate it. After the ninth master finished speaking, Xiao Fat, who was standing on the edge of the stone tablet, also waved his hand at us: "Yes, yes, look at what is written on it!" ”
Hearing this, I put away the ruler and walked over, standing under the stone wall but found that the altitude was not enough, I looked at the stone tablet, as if squatting under the window to look at the flower pot on the third floor, and took a dozen steps back, only then I could barely see the words on the stone tablet clearly, but I could fix my eyes and look at it, stupid
It was written in hieroglyphs, oracle bones.
