Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wild Road

——————————————————————

I looked at myself with my embarrassed equipment bag, and I felt the urge to laugh for a moment, after all, such a thing seemed too funny, but I couldn't laugh in any way on such an occasion.

Zhang Hefang said: "It seems that the situation is obvious, that Lingmi should have been in your backpack when he was outside the stone gate." ”

"But how could I not have noticed it at all?" I think back to my experience, and I can't remember when I let a monster get into my backpack.

Bao Ye looked at the corpse of the Lingmi, thought for a while, and said, "I think this thing may have gotten into your backpack in the merman's lair." Have you forgotten that we didn't bring our backpacks with us when we first went into the water, but we just went to investigate, and we only brought our gear bags when we went into the water the second time. We destroyed the merman's lair, and it is very likely that when we were underwater, the reimi fell into the lair while walking in the mountains, and then found that you had food in your backpack, so he got into it, and followed us all the way. While on the shores of Lake Kurosawa, all of us took our gear out to dry, but you were in a coma, so your backpack was never opened. ”

"So you mean that because the light was so dim in the merman's lair that I didn't see clearly and pulled on my backpack, the thing followed us into the water and survived? This、This is too unreliable, isn't it? "I looked at the wet body on the ground, although theoretically the situation that Bao Ye said could indeed exist, but this is still too, I don't believe it.

At this time, Zhang Hefang said: "Okay, okay, we don't need to dwell on this kind of trivial matter, now is the time to race against time, we don't need to come up with an explanation for many things that are happening in front of us, don't forget, the old ghosts are still outside." ”

Everyone nodded, and after thinking about it, they didn't think there was any need to investigate this matter further, but the backpack, I didn't want to carry it anymore. I took out some of the necessary equipment and medicines and put them in my pocket, but there was no food in my backpack anyway, so I simply left them here.

We took two steps forward, and when we arrived at the place where Zhang Hefang had stopped just now, we looked down and found that this was already the end of the road, and below was a bottomless stone staircase.

Before going down, in order to save the power of the flashlight, we only turned on two flashlights in case the power ran out and we would be completely in the dark.

Our formation has not changed, Bin Zi and Brother Liao are walking in the front with a micro charge, but there are not many bullets left in their hands along the way. Walking behind Bin Zi and Brother Liao are Lao Qi and Zhang Hefang, Bu Jin and Xiao Xia, and I am walking behind Lao Python and Bao Ye.

After walking for less than two steps, we were surprised to find two unlit torches on the walls on either side of the stone steps. Everyone was stunned, and I said to myself, what is going on? Is there a torch in the priest's grave? Could it be that it was specially prepared for us as an uninvited guest?

Zhang Hefang picked up the torch on the wall, then put the tip of the torch in front of his nose, sniffed it carefully, and then looked up and said to us: "It's the oil made up of the black scale shark people, it should be usable." ”

Sure enough, the flame of the lighter touched the torch, and after the torch fluttered twice, it burned into a normal yellow flame, and for a moment, the entire stone staircase corridor was covered with the warm light of the torch. Fire is one of the most primitive cults of human beings, not only because the flame can cook food or repel wild beasts, in the course of thousands of years of human evolution, human beings do not need fire to protect their own safety, but the ancient blood flows in the human body, and when you see the fire, you will have a sense of security from the heart, which cannot be given by a flashlight.

After everyone saw that the torch was lit, there was no obvious change in the surroundings, so the old man also took another torch and lit it, and this time, the light around us was more abundant, and we all turned off the flashlights.

Although we didn't encounter any danger along the way, none of us dared to relax our vigilance easily, because we had just seen the huge monster hidden here, although at this moment, we couldn't find the figure of the monster, but we knew very well that the monster was not wrong here.

After a long walk, the stone stairs finally came to an end, and we came to a brand new stone chamber.

To our surprise, the stone chamber was not clean, not because of how much dust there was, but because the ground was littered with bones, all of which were human bones, at least as they looked. The bones were all staggered and disheveled, and it is conceivable that these people must have died restlessly. At the end of the stone chamber, there are two different entrances to the corridors, and in front of the entrances of the two corridors, a stone statue of the same height as a real person is placed.

We all stepped forward, and reality examined the bones in the light of the torches. After some careful inspection, we found that these seemingly messy white bones were actually placed in a certain pattern. For example, the bones near the left wall of the chamber are often mixed with bronze weapons, such as swords, shields, and even bronze armor on top of them, while the bones on the other side do not contain any bronze weapons.

Natsu, who specializes in identifying dead bodies and herbs, examines the bones on the right side of the chamber and finds that the remains have numerous knife wounds, and the marks of those knife wounds are clearly caused by the bronze weapon in the white bone group on the other side.

"The bones here don't seem to be the same people." After Xiao Xia checked the white bones, he stood up and said.

Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "This can be seen, what about the age of these bones?" ”

Xiao Xia said without hesitation: "It must have been at least three thousand years ago. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't show too many surprised expressions. I thought about the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom that Professor Li Zhongkai told me before, and said: "More than 3,000 years ago, it should have been the time when the ancient Shu Kingdom was at its peak and developed, coupled with the dangerous terrain, there was no foreign force to attack them, how could it be possible to find two groups of people in the priest's burial pit?" ”

Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "Mr. Fan, you may not know that in the ancient Shu Kingdom, there have always been two rights in parallel. ”

"Two powers?" I was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that the party system was implemented when the ancient Shu Kingdom was not established?" ”

Zhang Hefang shook his head and said, "Of course not, you see here, there are also two entrances to the Yongdao, and looking at these white bones, they obviously had a conflict." ”

I looked at the pile of white bones on the left wall and said, "In that case, the white bones here must be the soldiers of the Ancient Shu Kingdom, and those white bones on the other side?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Bu Jin walk to the pile of white bones on the opposite side, rummag in the pile of bones in the corner of the wall for a while, and then take out something from the white bones, and when I looked back at us, we found that it was a golden scorpion-like insect. Bu Jin said lightly: "This is the wild way, that is to say, the other group of people are all wizards. ”
