Chapter 454: Loss of Life

After hearing Instructor Liu's words, Chen Ziyang nodded, although he was more curious about everything here, but after all, opening the treasure of this ancient country was the purpose of everyone coming here, but I didn't know what would be opened here when the diamond was placed in that eye-shaped pattern.

Staring at these strange lines on the floor, Chen Ziyang had an idea in his heart, he felt that this was most likely directly below the strange altar in front of the ruins of the Imperial Palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Sumi. The lines on the ground here extend from the circular fountain altar above.

Although the passage that everyone had walked through before was very long, making people feel like they had been walking forward, Chen Ziyang knew that in fact, that passage had been spiraling downward, and everyone should have never left the scope of the Ancient Kingdom.

Walking in such a passage, everyone had long since lost their way, but Chen Ziyang felt that his guess should be correct, otherwise, the groove pattern on the ground here would not be the same as the pattern on the circular altar.

In other words, the blood of oneself stored in the diamond before should have flowed into this eye pattern, which caused such a big reaction on the altar above, and it is very likely that the gust of wind that caused the sandstorm blew from here.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out why there were a few vine-like plants on this strange tree man sticking into the ground here, and these vine plants were just born from this tree man, or if they had some other purpose.

After glancing at the tree man who was expressionless and stiffened there, Chen Ziyang slowly stepped forward under the urging of Instructor Liu, and slowly walked to the front of the eye-shaped pattern.

He bent down and used his right hand to slowly clean up the debris in the eye-shaped pattern, slowly removing some of the dead grass and mud from the eye-pattern.

When cleaning up, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt that the debris in these crevices felt very weird. There was something like black soil in the crevices, and when he first started cleaning these black soils, he didn't think there was anything strange about these black soils, but as these black soils were cleared out more and more, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt that his fingers had a sticky feeling.

"It's weird, why is this soil sticky?" Chen Ziyang thought in his heart. The soil here has been exposed to the air for almost two thousand years, and it should have turned into gravel a long time ago, and the soil has long since lost its moisture and should not have this kind of adhesive properties.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang took the fingers sticking to the soil in front of him, and took a closer look, although he saw that the soil looked black, but if he looked closely, the edges of the soil seemed to be red, and his fingers didn't know when they were stained with some red things.

Put the finger sticking to the black soil under his nose, and after smelling it, Chen Ziyang smelled a vague smell of blood, and then he suddenly woke up, this is not black soil at all, but blood that has been coagulated for I don't know how many years.

The blood had already lost the moisture contained in it and had become something like blood paste, but with his movements, the blood paste stuck to his fingers and slowly melted with his body heat.

It seems that what he thinks is not wrong, Chen Ziyang thought that if you want the diamond to flow out of the water, you must exchange it with enough blood, which is not only reflected in the pattern carved by the little girl, but also recorded in the stone tablet pattern carved by the old king of the ancient kingdom.

The blood flowed into the fountain altar, it should have flowed here, and the blood paste here is not known to be left after how many years it has been shed and how many people's blood has been deposited.

"Mr. Chen, hurry up, okay?" Instructor Liu urged impatiently.

Chen Ziyang took a deep breath and took the diamond out of his pocket. Seeing that he was about to open the mechanism, Yang Lei became nervous, he hurriedly touched his hand behind his back, trying to pull out the sapper shovel from the backpack, but Yang Lei's touch was empty, and then he remembered that his backpack full of cans and the sapper shovel were all thrown in the hollow of the ancient tree.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyang was still carrying a sapper shovel behind his back, so Yang Lei walked over, pulled out the sapper shovel, and glanced at Chen Ziyang, the two nodded to each other, Yang Lei slowly leaned aside, vigilantly staring at the patterns on the ground and the strange female tree man.

Holding the diamond and finding the angle, Chen Ziyang slowly inserted the diamond into the groove in the middle of the eye-shaped pattern. When slowly inserting the diamond, Chen Ziyang had a question lingering in his mind.

On the more than a dozen stone tablet patterns carved by the old king of the ancient kingdom of Sumi, it can be said that the affairs of the entire ancient kingdom of Sumi were briefly explained. Although many of the images are incoherent, Chen Ziyang estimates that it is because the old king expressed it in some words.

But since seeing the patterns on those stone tablets, Chen Ziyang has never been able to figure out why there is not even a picture on those patterns in such a long passage and such a strange underground space?

The amount of work on this passage can be described as staggering, and it is impossible to build it by relying on a country in the desert alone, so Chen Ziyang feels that it is very likely that this passage was not built by the people of the ancient country, but by the woman who came here and used these plants to make it.

But I don't know what this woman has to do with the ancient tree, why did this woman disappear out of thin air in the later stage of the picture? And what does this woman have to do with this woman's tree man? Why do tree people and women look exactly the same?

In fact, Chen Ziyang already had a faint answer in his heart, and he felt that it was very likely that this female tree man was the one that the woman became, and the two were actually the same person. But this is too, how can there be such a thing as a living person becoming a tree man.

When he thought of this, the diamond in Chen Ziyang's hand had already been placed in the groove of the eye pattern. The five of them all locked their eyes on the diamond, and they didn't dare to come out, quietly waiting for what was going to happen next. But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

Looking at the coagulated blood paste in the groove, Chen Ziyang smiled helplessly, it seemed that he still needed to contribute some blood. The people of this ancient kingdom are really very strange why every mechanism they design needs to be opened with blood.

Stretching out his hand, after touching the shovel head of the sapper shovel in Yang Lei's hand next to him, Chen Ziyang made a cut in the palm of his right hand with the sharp shovel head on the sapper shovel. Blood was dripping from the wound on his palm in an instant, dripping onto the ground here. Then Chen Ziyang did not hesitate, and pressed his right hand on the diamond.

Blood enveloped the entire diamond in an instant, flowing down the side walls of the diamond onto the ground and into some crevices. After a few seconds, the diamond shimmered slightly.

Everyone saw that the diamond began to suck Chen Ziyang's blood again, and the blood flowing around the diamond slowly flowed into the diamond under the suction of the diamond, and then disappeared on the surface of the diamond. As the blood is infused, the diamond slowly turns pink again, and the color becomes darker and darker.

Seeing this familiar scene, Yang Lei couldn't stand still, he hurriedly took two steps closer to Chen Ziyang, wanting to pull Chen Ziyang away and prevent the diamond from continuing to absorb his blood, but at this time, Chen Ziyang looked up at Yang Lei and shook his head slightly.

Immediately after, Chen Ziyang's face showed a painful expression, and everyone saw that the blood gushing out of Chen Ziyang's wound at this time suddenly increased, just like the previous time when the diamond sucked up the blood of Chen Ziyang's left arm, his hand could no longer leave the diamond.

Chen Ziyang gritted his teeth and endured great pain, while his entire right arm slowly shrank, and this time, Chen Ziyang's right arm shrank much faster than the last time his left arm shrank, obviously this diamond sucked blood faster.

But although Chen Ziyang was in pain at this time, he still used his eyes to stop Yang Lei from stepping forward to help, and he was still gritting his teeth and persevering. Yang Lei, who was standing on the side, held a sapper shovel, hesitating, not knowing whether he should step forward.

After a while, Chen Ziyang's entire right arm was all atrophied, and this time, the diamond that had drained the blood in his entire arm had no intention of stopping, and as time went by, Chen Ziyang's shoulder also deflated. Clearly, this shrinking trend has not stopped.

Seeing that the clothes on Chen Ziyang's chest had been deformed, Yang Lei knew that Chen Ziyang's **** had also dried up at this time, which was not good, if it went on like this, Chen Ziyang would be sucked dry immediately.

Yang Lei, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, he hurriedly took two steps forward and raised the sapper shovel high, preparing to cut off Chen Ziyang's right arm and prevent the diamond from continuing to suck his blood.

But before Yang Lei could lift the sapper shovel to the highest place, suddenly Instructor Liu, who was standing on the side, rushed over and kicked Yang Lei in the chest, kicking him and the sapper shovel to the side.

Yang Lei, who was sliding forward against the ground, pressed his hands to the ground fiercely, preventing his body from continuing to slide forward, and when he stopped, a spike in front of him was less than a centimeter away from his right eye. If Yang Lei's movements were slower, it was likely that this spike would have pierced into his brain.

Obviously, Instructor Liu's kick left no room for error, he didn't care about Yang Lei's life at all, what he cared about most was not letting Yang Lei prevent Chen Ziyang from opening the mechanism, even if Chen Ziyang would die here.

Seeing Instructor Liu treat himself like this, Yang Lei was furious, he quickly picked up the sapper shovel that fell beside him, held it in his hands with both hands, and rushed towards Instructor Liu.

"I'm the second uncle!" Yang Lei scolded loudly, and at the same time brandished the sapper shovel and slashed at Instructor Liu's body.

But after all, Yang Lei has not received any martial arts training, and his movements are full of leaks in the eyes of Instructor Liu. After dodging the sapper shovel in Yang Lei's hand, Instructor Liu kicked Yang Lei again, who couldn't retract his strength.

Xiao Ren, who was standing on the side, also rushed over, he knelt directly on Yang Lei, who was kicked to the ground, locked Yang Lei's hands with both hands, and pressed his knees on Yang Lei's back, pressing him to the ground.

"Ahh ......" Chen Ziyang could no longer bear this great pain, he raised his head, howled loudly, his eyes turned red, and at the same time used all his strength to shake his right arm, trying to remove his right arm from the diamond. But no matter how much he struggled, the diamond and his right arm seemed to be glued together, and there was no intention of separating.

"Eryang! You're going to survive! You brutes, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! At this time, Yang Lei's eyes were full of tears, and he could only scold weakly, he couldn't break free from Xiao Ren's shackles at all, watching Chen Ziyang suffer great pain, but he couldn't do anything.

At this time, Instructor Liu didn't care about Yang Lei's useless curse at all, but stood aside, staring at Chen Ziyang and the diamond in his hand with an expectant look. A long-cherished wish that was about to be fulfilled came to his face.

The team doctor standing on the side saw Chen Ziyang's miserable appearance, and showed an expression that she couldn't bear to look at directly, she took her fingers in her mouth, bit them with her teeth, and at the same time turned her gaze to the side, not daring to look at such a cruel scene again.

Chen Ziyang's entire body has been completely shriveled, and now except for his head, his whole body has been shriveled, but the shriveled parts continue to expand.

Instructor Liu saw that at this time, Chen Ziyang's neck exposed outside the collar was also slowly drying up, and there was an obvious boundary between the shriveled muscles and normal muscles, and this boundary was slowly moving up along Chen Ziyang's neck.

After a while, Chen Ziyang stopped screaming, and everyone saw that Chen Ziyang had completely turned into a dried corpse at this time, and he still maintained the previous action of screaming at the sky, squatting there motionless.

"Eryang! Eryang! Yang Lei shouted desperately at the top of his voice, venting the pain in his heart. Because he knew that Chen Ziyang had completely lost his vitality at this time, and there was no possibility of resurrection.

Instructor Liu stared at Chen Ziyang's shriveled body, and then at the female tree man not far away, with an incredible look in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Ziyang had completely turned into a dried corpse, and his shriveled skin was covered with wrinkles. What made Instructor Liu feel strange was that the wrinkles on Chen Ziyang's body now because of the shriveling were exactly the same as the folds on the female tree man not far away.
