Chapter Ninety-Eight: Approaching the Royal City
Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the black hole at the end of the corridor on the right side of the island tomb, which was also bottomless, and I myself was almost buried in it. I can't help but wonder, why do these people like to dig holes? Or is there something hidden beneath these places?
We took two steps back before we re-examined the statue on the stone wall in front of us. I have to say that this carving is really a bit strange, his whole part is two open wings, and in the middle of the wings, there are two red stones, I can't tell if it's a ruby or something else, that's all there is to the carving, that's all!
Generally, ancient carvings tend to praise and narrative content, whether it is carving their own worshiped gods, or narrating the deeds of their own monarch LinkedIn Wushan War, they all have some specific content. It's really the first time I've seen this kind of carving with obvious abstract colors, and I can't worship a pair of big wings in this ancient country!
We looked at it for a long time, but we didn't see any doorway for this carving, and I looked at the black hole under my feet, and I didn't have a clue. Although I was curious about the situation under the black hole, I didn't dare to go down rashly.
In this case, we have no choice but to go back and return to the fork in the road.
We walked around a corner and turned onto another river, and suddenly I saw a man squatting in the darkness on the side, and I gasped in fright, "Who! What people! I hurriedly raised my hand and took a photo, only to see that the person who was squatting there was Wenmo.
"Holy! Big brother, you're going to be scared to death, why don't you even turn on a flashlight? I want to play peek-a-boo! I glared at him angrily, but Wen Mo still had an unhurried expression, and reached out to take out another flashlight from his bag, "My flashlight is out of power, and I was about to change it, and you appeared!" As he spoke, he turned on the flashlight, and a dazzling white light shone through.
I was also speechless about Wenmo, but I didn't bother him, after all, my life was saved several times.
I saw that the position where Wen Mo was squatting just now was the position where the second uncle left the strange symbol, and it seemed that he was also looking at that symbol just now.
The location of that thing is carved so hidden, we can find that it was a blind cat running into a dead mouse, I really don't know how Wenmo found it. I asked him, "Do you know what this symbol means?" ”
Wenmo looked at me, but didn't speak, so I had to ask again, "Could this symbol be left by my second uncle?" ”
Wen Mo's expression was not shocked, he still just looked at me quietly, he didn't speak, I was very upset by his attitude, I held back the anger in my heart, and asked the third question, "According to this symbol, should we go in this direction?" ”
Again and again, if Wenmo still ignores this question of mine, I am really about to explode. Fortunately, after Wen Mo stared at me for a while, he nodded slightly, "Yes!" "I finally had a reason not to worry about him, and I also found a step for myself.
Kong Xue looked around and asked, "Where is our current place, what is equivalent to the position on the ground?" ”
I estimated in my heart, "It should probably not be far from the royal city!" ”
Wen Mo nodded, "Our current location should be under that red sand." ”
Wen Mo's words lifted our spirits, "In this way, we should not be far from the royal city." ”
After a lot of hardships, I am finally about to reach the destination of this operation, my heart is a little excited, but more uneasy, the four major families have returned here in the past, so what about us now, will we repeat the mistakes of 20 years ago? Or is it able to work miracles? These are all unknowns, what kind of amazing mysteries are hidden in this mysterious and ancient country!
As we continued to move forward, we gradually found that the river we were in began to get deeper and deeper, and the stone walls on both sides of the river also receded to both sides, and I guessed that there should be a large space outside the river now.
The silt, which had dried up at the bottom of the river, began to grow thicker and thicker, and the silt was bronzed and rock-solid to step on. At the same time, strange things began to appear in the mud, including fragments of ceramics, broken weapons, and some flocculent objects that could not be seen. All of this indicates that we have entered the water system of the ancient king city of Shanhuan.
Further on, not only did the things that had just appeared in the river, but also some scattered white bones were also found by us. And, we noticed that a lot of them were human bones.
Kong Xue was obviously still a little afraid of these things, and walked on it tremblingly, taking every step very carefully, for fear that she would step on a broken skull.
Suddenly, Kong Xue let out an exclamation, we hurried over to take a look, but found that Kong Xue's whole person was frozen there, one leg raised but did not dare to fall, "Help me see if something grabbed my pants!" ”
When we shined a flashlight, we found that there was nothing at all, just the bones of a human hand half-protruding from the ground, hanging on Kong Xue's trouser legs. I reached out and took off her pants with that hand. Kong Xue was still patting her chest with palpitations, "Whew, I'm scared to death!" ”
I looked at her a little funny, she had been gone for so long, and it was not once or twice that she had experienced this kind of thing, but she was still scared like this by a hand with only white bones left.
Suddenly something occurred to me, and I turned my head again to look at your hand that was leaking out of the mud, and found that it was a normal human hand bone, not like the dried corpses in the cliff burial groups we had seen earlier on the stone wall. The hands of those dried corpses are very slender, and the length of the finger bones is at least two to three times the length of a normal person, and the hand in front of me is no different from ours.
I can't help but wonder a little, in the end, are the people of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom who have grown into people like the dry corpses of the cliff burial group, or are they normal people like us, and how to explain those strange dried corpses?
At this time, the depth of the river channel has exceeded two meters, which is very different from the river channel just now, and it is obvious that it has been artificially constructed. We saw a black shadow appear in the dark river ahead, and I was always a little nervous about this kind of black shadow that suddenly appeared in the circle of flashlight. Based on previous experience, this kind of discovery will most likely cause us some trouble.
But this time it was not the case, because we had already seen that the shadow was a wooden bridge broken in the river. This made us excited, the appearance of the bridge, indicating that we have reached the area where people were active back then. This should have truly entered the scope of the ancient king city of Shan Huan.
