Looking at this huge thing resembling a dark cloud, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very likely that this was a sandstorm. It was a huge sandstorm that completely annihilated this ancient city in history.

Why such a coincidence? Just after a battle between people and ancient trees, the ancient city was swallowed up by a sandstorm, could it be that the cause of the sandstorm was because this ancient tree was burned?

Because this picture was already the last one, Chen Ziyang looked at this picture for a while, and he estimated that these people who left the ancient city should be the ones who left the sheepskin. However, it is easy to deviate from the meaning of pictures based on pictures alone, and the number of these pictures is limited, and there are some incoherent places in the middle.

Thinking of the sheepskin, Chen Ziyang turned to Instructor Liu and asked, "Isn't there a person there who knows this kind of writing?" The one who translated the words on the sheepskin, who was this person? Let him translate and translate, so that we don't have to guess like this anymore. ”

"Dead!" Instructor Liu replied angrily, Chen Ziyang could see that Instructor Liu's current mood was not beautiful, and it was estimated that it had something to do with the fact that he didn't find the clues he wanted here. Inexplicably, Chen Ziyang no longer paid attention to Instructor Liu, but looked at the last picture carefully.

At this time, he noticed that among the people who left the ancient city, there was a person whose baggage fell out of a corner, revealing something similar to a football shape, Chen Ziyang suddenly remembered, this thing should be the fruit of the ancient tree.

In addition to this person, there were several other people who were also carrying burdens, although the items in these bags were not exposed, but Chen Ziyang saw that the things in the baggage should be spherical, and it was estimated that he was also referring to the fruit of this ancient tree.

This is really strange, these people hate this ancient tree so much, and even burned the ancient tree, and paid a lot of price for it, many people died under the aerial roots of the ancient tree, but why did these people take away the fruit of the ancient tree? If these fruits are planted, will another ancient tree be born?

For no reason, a strange feeling rose in Chen Ziyang's heart. He felt that everything he had experienced was most likely related to the seeds of these ancient trees that had been taken away by the inhabitants of the ancient kingdom of Sumi. And it is highly likely that this diamond was also taken out by these people and finally put into that ancient tomb.

Just as Chen Ziyang continued to look for other clues in this picture, a detail caught his attention. Among those who left the ancient kingdom of the Buddha, there were some people whose lines were very unclear. After discovering this strange place, Chen Ziyang found that in this last picture, there are many lines carved that are not very good.

All the drawings are carved on the stone tablet, and all the previous drawing lines are very smooth, very coherent, and the depth is about the same, and it can be seen that the person who carved these pictures is very attentive, almost meticulous.

However, on this last picture, there are many lines of different shades, rough edges, and inconsistent thickness, which is obviously not on the same level as the previous carving.

After taking a closer look at the material of this stele, Chen Ziyang saw that the material of this stele was the same as that of other steles, so it means that the flaws on this picture were not because of the material of the stele, so it could only be because of the carver.

His first thought was that the person who carved this stele had changed, not the person who carved other steles, but after looking at it for a while, Chen Ziyang denied his idea.

Although the carving of this last picture is a little rougher, whether it is the depiction of the characters or the way the lines are moved, it is exactly the same as the previous drawings, which means that the person who carved it has not changed.

What was it that caused the engraver to not be perfect for the last drawing? Chen Ziyang couldn't figure it out, and just as he was about to continue his research, Instructor Liu on the side said: "It's been a lot of delay, it's been half a day, it's almost done research, let's continue to move forward." ”

Hearing Instructor Liu's words, Yang Lei quickly pulled Chen Ziyang aside and ripped off his backpack. Then Yang Lei stuffed all the food and water he had poured on the ground into Chen Ziyang's backpack.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lei picked up his backpack full of jars and jars, and grabbed six smaller jars with the ten hands of his own hands and carried them in his hands.

Seeing Yang Lei's virtue, Chen Ziyang couldn't wait to go up and kick him twice. "Leizi, if you don't be so greedy for money, I will like you more." He said through gritted teeth.

"No one is perfect, hehe, no one is perfect. Everyone has a hobby, I just like these jars, not for money, I'll make this clear, not for money, I just like art, I have a habit of collecting. ”

The team continued to walk around a dozen stone monuments, and as the group went deeper, the plants climbing on the side walls and tops of the passage became thicker and thicker, making the entire passage a lot narrower. It's okay to say on the left and right, after all, the passage is very fast, but some of the longer spikes growing from some of the plants that climb on the top of the passage are about to touch the top of people's heads.

After not walking far, Xiao Ren at the front of the line suddenly stopped, and his flashlight shone directly on a section of plants on the side wall of the passage, and everyone saw that a skeleton was hanging from the spikes growing from the plants.

This discovery alerted everyone, and Instructor Liu quickly bent down and reached out to take out the pistol from his waist, but when he touched an empty holster, he remembered that all the weapons were in Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei.

After throwing a complaining look at Chen Ziyang, Instructor Liu nodded at Chen Ziyang, which meant that he should come forward and take a look.

At this time, Chen Ziyang walked a short distance with a heavy backpack on his back, and he was already a little tired. So he took off his backpack and threw it at Yang Lei's feet, then took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword and slowly touched the plants.

Walking to the front of the skeleton, Chen Ziyang took a closer look around, in addition to this skeleton, there were some scattered items on the ground, but there didn't seem to be any danger. After gesturing to the people behind him to signal that it was safer and for them to come forward, he took a closer look at the skeleton.

The skeleton was relatively intact, with several spikes growing from the plant piercing through the gaps in the skeleton's ribs, causing the skeleton's ribs to hang from the plant. The skull's cervical vertebrae passed through one of the skull's eye sockets, hanging the skull on top of it. The pelvic bones of the skeleton, as well as the arm and leg bones, are all piled up directly below the skeleton.

Not far from this skeleton, there were a lot of items piled up on the ground, Chen Ziyang walked over and carefully checked them one by one. At this time, several people from the rear also rushed over.

Although Yang Lei was also curious about this skeleton, he was reluctant to put down the jar in his hand, so he stood aside and stared at everyone.

The team doctor gestured carefully near the skeleton, as if trying to figure out the cause of the skeleton's death. After glancing at the skeleton, Instructor Liu came to Chen Ziyang's side and was also inspecting the items on the ground with him.

The things on the ground are very mixed, there are some daily utensils and jars, and some other living utensils, but the things that Chen Ziyang is most interested in are the hammer head of an iron rod and an iron hammer.

After picking up these two things, Chen Ziyang looked carefully, this iron rod-like thing was actually like a chisel, but the tip of the chisel had been ground to a disgrace, there were no corners at all, and even the edge of the tip of the chisel was rounded, and there were still a few notches on the chisel, and the end was also smashed flat, it seemed that it had been used for a very long time.

The same goes for the hammer, which is so worn out that there are dents on both ends of the hammer due to long-term percussion. The handle of the hammer is gone, and Chen Ziyang estimates that this is because the wood that used to be used as the handle of the hammer has rotted.

Holding the chisel with difficulty with his left hand, Chen Ziyang handed over the hammer with his right hand. Sure enough, the end of the chisel fits well with the dent on the hammer head, and it seems that the two work together.

Seeing Chen Ziyang's action, Instructor Liu said: "This person should be the person who carved the previous stone tablet patterns." ”

After nodding, Chen Ziyang threw down two things and continued to rummage around. Several jars were empty, and there was something resembling a small iron pot on the floor.

"Could it be that this person has always lived here?" This is also more reasonable, after all, it takes a lot of time to carve the patterns on the dozen or so stone tablets before, but Chen Ziyang felt a little strange, this place should be regarded as the holy place of the ancient kingdom at that time, why would this person live here for a long time.

However, it can be seen from the contents of those pictures that the person who carved it knew all the things that happened in the ancient kingdom of Mimi. Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang became curious about the identity of this person, so he walked to the side of the skeleton, trying to find out the identity of the skeleton before his death.

At this time, Instructor Liu also thought of Chen Ziyang, and he walked to the side of the team doctor and asked.

"It was supposed to be the skeleton of a man, probably in his forties at the time of his death. The man was killed by the spikes on the plant, and he must have been vigorously pushed against them. The spikes were very long, and they directly penetrated several of his internal organs, which could be judged by the location of the spikes.

And the man should have died instantly, where the spikes of the plant came into contact with the man's ribs, there were no traces of friction left by the struggle. ”

Although the team doctor said a lot, knowing the cause of this man's death did not help to understand his identity. Chen Ziyang and Instructor Liu stood by and watched, trying to find something that could determine the identity of the skeleton.

"Don't move, it's mine! I saw it first, and I picked it up first, so don't rob me. Yang Lei suddenly shouted loudly at the top of his voice.

At this time, Chen Ziyang realized that he didn't know when, Yang Lei used his foot to pick out something among the thigh bones and arm bones under the skeleton.

But because Yang Lei was reluctant to throw down the few jars he was holding in his hand, he could only step on this thing with his feet, and bowed down to make a defensive gesture towards Xiao Ren on the side.

"Eryang, hurry, come and pick it up, this is real gold, and we have made a small fortune." Seeing that Chen Ziyang noticed this, Yang Lei hurriedly said.

walked over, pulled out the thing he had stepped on before from under Yang Lei's feet, and wiped the dust on it with his hands, Chen Ziyang found that just as Yang Lei said, this was indeed a piece of gold.

This is a fist-sized round gold ornament with a hollow ornament in the middle, and on the back of this gold ornament, there is a gold hook more than an inch wide, which is connected to the ornament and should be cast as a whole.

Although it seems that this gold jewelry is relatively rough in production, Chen Ziyang feels that if it was placed two thousand years ago, this kind of craftsmanship would have been regarded as a top level, after all, people in that era were limited by tools, and it was already commendable to be able to make this kind of thing like this.

"I seem to know who the dead man is." Chen Ziyang said with this gold ornament.

"Who is it?" Instructor Liu asked eagerly.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but on the previous stone tablets, all the people were depicted in great detail, and even the ornaments on these people were all carved.

In those drawings, there is a man who resembles a king, that is, the man who was later tied up during the Great War of the Tree of Man, and I guess that person is the king of the ancient kingdom of Sumi, and in the drawings of those stone tablets, whenever this person appears, he always has a round belt buckle around his waist.

Although the picture is not so detailed that even the lines of this belt buckle are carved, you see here, the hook behind this ornament is so wide, and the distance between the hook and the ornament is very narrow, this should be a belt buckle. ”

Hearing this, Instructor Liu hurriedly walked in front of Chen Ziyang, wanting to reach out and take the gold belt buckle to take a closer look, but Yang Lei, who was standing on the side, did not do it.

"Stand back, step back, but you can't be blasphemous from a distance, have you ever heard of it? Just stand far away and take a look, or I'll really cut you. After saying this, Yang Lei raised the three jars in his right hand and made a downward smashing motion to Instructor Liu.

But then he glanced at the jar in his hand out of the corner of his eye, showed a reluctant expression, and slowly put down his right hand.

Seeing Yang Lei's virtue, Instructor Liu didn't have the heart to conflict with him, he really stopped there, took a few glances at this gold jewelry a meter away from Chen Ziyang, and nodded.

"How can you say that this person should be the king of the ancient kingdom of Sumi? It's weird, why did he die here? Instructor Liu said to himself.
