Chapter 104: Escaping Death
My hand was stuck in the body of the human-faced spider, and my body was rapidly falling along with the human-faced spider's body.
The old cat's reaction speed is beyond ordinary people, after smashing on the body of the human-faced spider, the old cat immediately reached out and pulled me, and then his legs kicked the body of the human-faced spider hard, the spider's body was directly kicked by his kick on the side, the old cat pressed my back with one hand, and held the head with the other hand, and the body maintained a curled posture.
With a loud bang, the body of the human-faced spider fell heavily to the ground, and I only felt an upward elastic force, which shook my chest and caused no other damage. The human-faced spider happens to make a meat pad for us.
If it weren't for the old cat's fucking reaction so fast, it could "adjust" the position of the human-faced spider and me in less than a second, then I'm afraid I would have been smashed into meat sauce by the human-faced spider now.
Now that I think about it, the old cat is really not an ordinary person, he must have deliberately fallen from it and landed on the body of the human-faced spider before, so as to make a meat shield for the human-faced spider for us, so that we can fall from it smoothly, which greatly reduces the risk of us falling from the wall. The old cat is either very confident in himself, or in the heart of a professional gambler, he just made a slight mistake, and we may even hang up.
I was gulping for rough air, and Lin Xihui came over at this time and pulled me up and asked me if I was hurt?
I waved my hand, and although I felt tightness in my chest and some pain in my ribs, it should be fine, at least there were no signs of fractures.
Team Zhang and the bald head have also come down from the wall. At this time, I looked at the surrounding walls, and there were already huge human-faced spiders on the walls, and not only the wall close to us, but all the walls within the visible range of the surrounding area had large numbers of human-faced spiders.
I gasped, but fortunately I had just been "smashed" off the wall by the old cat, and if I had climbed down at the speed I had just made, I would have to wait to feed the spiders.
Lin Xihui helped me and told the old cat and the others to leave quickly, once the human-faced spider chased down from the wall, we would have nowhere to escape.
The old cat didn't seem to hear Lin Xihui's words, but he still froze in place, waved his hand at Lin Xihui, and muttered, "They won't come down from the wall, because they seem to be afraid of the ground here?" The old cat's tone was getting smaller and smaller, as if even he was a little unsure of his words.
After the old cat finished speaking, I noticed the human-faced spiders on the wall, and indeed after these spiders came out of the wall, not a single human-faced spider came down from the wall, and there was no trace of spiders even at the foot of the wall.
Strange? The human-faced spiders suddenly came out of the "dragon gate" on the wall one by one, but the range of movement of these human-faced spiders was only on the wall, and did not come down along the wall. According to what we have just observed, the human-faced spider will eat the corpses of their companions, but now, a human-faced spider falls to the ground, but there are no other spiders around to eat the corpses.
The old cat walked towards the foot of the wall, where he crouched as if to observe something. I looked around, and we were now about a few dozen meters away from the tower. In addition to the towers, the most eye-catching thing here is the dense stone statues scattered around it.
The stone statues are more than three meters high, the stone statues are depicted very abstractly, the stone statues have relatively large heads, the body is in a standing posture, the facial features on the face are only slightly depicted, their eye sockets are deep-set, and there are no eyeballs, the nose is high, the lips are closed, the ears are long, the eyebrows are broad, the hands are tightly attached to the body, the expression is very serious, and their heads are slightly lowered. Compared to the exquisite workmanship I have seen before, the stone statues here look too rough in workmanship.
There are obvious traces of carving on the body of the stone statue, and some kind of text is carved on it, but it is definitely not the text of the Taihao period that we saw before. The glyphs still look like hieroglyphs, but definitely not the ones we've seen before.
As we walked forward, Lin Xihui stood next to the stone statue, carefully observing the words on the stone statue.
I asked Lin Xihui if she could read what was written on the stone statue?
Lin Xihui shook his head, and hurriedly called the old cat, motioning for the old cat to come and look at the stone statues.
Lin Xihui said to me simply, "This should be a kind of writing that has never been discovered. There are also records of wild histories and legends in the Taihao period, but the kind of writing we see now, anyway, in my opinion, there are absolutely no records and legends. ”
"Holy shit, could it be an alien? Didn't the TV say that there was such a stone statue? The bald head said in surprise.
I know that the stone statue that the bald head is talking about should be the "Easter Island Stone Statue". There are more than 600 stone statues of giants standing on the island. Generally, it is 7-10 meters high, weighs 30-90 tons, and some stone statues weigh as much as 10 tons with a hat. The statues are carved from a single block of dark red igneous rock. All the stone statues have no legs, all are busts, and their appearance is much the same. The facial expression of the stone statue is very rich, and its eyes are specially inlaid with shiny obsidian or glittering shells, which is particularly expressive. The peculiar shape of the stone statue and the exquisite carving skills are really amazing. In recent years, historians, archaeologists and anthropologists from a number of countries have visited the island in an attempt to find out what to do, but although various explanations have been proposed, they can only be speculative and not convincing.
Easter Island is surrounded by megalithic statues, and the earliest indigenous people on the island are recorded to have come from Polynesia, around the end of the 12th century, but the megalithic statues already existed by then, dating to around 600-700 AD. Many of the questions surrounding Easter Island are, who carved these megalithic statues? And how to transport the stone statue to the sea? Why and how is it done? Why did the engraving end suddenly? The people who carved the stone statues, where did they go?
Some scientific investigations believe that there are stone steps below the megalithic statue, which are 3 meters high, and the tomb is supposed underneath, and the megalithic statue is a simulated image of the patron saint or the deceased himself. It is also believed that an ancient continent in the South Pacific Ocean suddenly sank, and that the inhabitants of the continent had created a splendid civilization, and that Easter Island was originally a mountain top, a corner of the ancient land remaining at sea level. However, the existence of ancient lands has not been confirmed, and it is impossible to understand how the carvers carried these behemoths in extremely primitive times.
Just after I talked about Easter Island, Lin Xihui said faintly beside him, "What we see and come into contact with now should be an unknown civilization!" A civilization that has never been recorded in history. ”
