Chapter Eighty-One: Shell Avenue
Next, Du Yuqi put the seal of cabbage stone, calcite, gravityless fragments, Haoshi, and Borodin into it in turn, and when the first few materials were put in, there was no change in the basin, and the clear water, scabbard, and gems were all lying quietly under the water as they were. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, as soon as the stone was put in, there was a violent chemical reaction in it, and the water in the basin immediately became white and turbid, and then boiled, and what was put into it was not like a stone, but a bottle of sulfuric acid!
And after the last Borodin badge was thrown in, the water began to shine continuously, this thing was from the ancient ruins, it contained a strange and mysterious ancient power, and this power was released, and then a powerful whirlpool was formed on the water, as if a large hole had been broken under the wooden basin, and the water was flowing out continuously.
With the rapid reduction of the water flow in the wooden basin, the people quickly noticed one thing, the water in the basin was actually pouring into the opening of the unique bone scabbard, and as the water flow was inhaled, the surface of the bone scabbard began to quickly form a thin film.
How to say it, it is as if a layer of skin is rapidly being generated, and when the last drop of water is sucked in, the surface of this scabbard is really covered with a black film, which looks less abrupt in appearance, and it will not be much different from ordinary scabbards.
Du Yuqi tried to re-grasp the scabbard, and suddenly felt a pain in his palm, and immediately let go of his hand, and found that a small hole had been pierced in the palm of his hand, and a few drops of blood flowed on the scabbard, and then it was quickly absorbed.
He looked at the scabbard carefully, and found that there was nothing sharp in the place where he had held it earlier, but the "black membrane" generated on the surface of the scabbard was not ordinary, and if you looked closely, it was actually made of countless fine scales, and the edges of the scales seemed to be quite sharp.
Although these scales were very comfortable to hold when they shrunk up, if one of the scales suddenly stood up when Du Yuqi held the scabbard, then it was possible for him to puncture his palm when he was defenseless.
Not long after inhaling Du Yuqi's blood, the color of the scabbard also began to change, from dark black to a blue-black, and at the same time, the spiritual imprint inside was triggered again, and Du Yuqi's mind began to repeat the next message:
"Oshado. ”
Du Yuqi pondered in his heart a few times, then turned his head and said:
"The next hint came up, and it was Oshado. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't seem to know this place, and the sheep said at this time:
"Oshado's pronunciation seems to be a bit ancient, I have been to the chapel here before, and I heard the scriptures recited by the elders in it have a similar pronunciation, I will go and inquire for you, it must have been called many years ago. ”
Soon, the sheep came with the news:
"Oshado was called more than 300 years ago, and now it's called Lansat, and it's not hard to find, but you need to get out of the city. ”
After hearing the news, Du Yuqi also felt a little helpless, if he wanted to leave the city, it would mean that he was about to lose the protection of the Steel Bear Knights, and now the forces of the Zero organization are carrying a great victory, and once they are targeted, it will be a big trouble.
But fortunately, at this time, the furious Steel Bear Knights also launched four or five purge in Cantwin, to some extent, even adhering to the simple and crude principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than letting go, for the land snake that has been entrenched here for decades, such a purge is undoubtedly quite effective, I believe that most of the dark sons of the Zero organization have been murdered under such a purgy, and the remaining orders should also be lurking and standing still, in order to save themselves as the priority.
In this case, Du Yuqi felt that as long as he strictly controlled and kept the secret, he still had a great chance of not being detected by the other party, and after discussing with his companions, Du Yuqi decided to go alone, because the goal of doing so was the smallest.
At the same time, although there is a huge danger in entering a place like the ruins, Du Yuqi did not enter rashly, but entered with relevant tokens, so that it may not be useful if there are many people, and the biggest threat should still come from the ZERO organization, so it is necessary to minimize the risk of being discovered by them.
At this time, Du Yuqi and they have changed places to live, and the identity of the one who helped before is extraordinary, he is a soothsayer, and it is even said that he is very close to the realm of "Praise of Luck", she has a transcendent status on Cantwin's side, so helping Du Yuqi and them is also a gesture.
The next morning, Du Yuqi went on the road after a makeover, at this time he even stood with Lin and others face to face, it is estimated that Lin and they could not recognize the deity, around so, under the arrangement of the sheep, Du Yuqi also spent an hour, after changing three carriages in a row, he stood on the streets of Kantwin again, his dress and appearance at this time are no different from the travelers who came from other places, unless they are close to the targeted and careful search, their identity will almost not be recognized.
Du Yuqi, who was standing on the street, of course, didn't know how to get to the Lansat ruins, but he had money, and of course he could find someone to take him there, so he called a vehicle that was commonly known as a "land boat" in the local area, in short, it was a two-wheeled vehicle pulled by a camel, and people could sit under the roof, and the top of the roof was quite flat, which could stack very heavy goods, which was considered a passenger and cargo use, because the carriage of the two-wheeled vehicle looked like a small boat, so it got its name.
The chauffeur of the land ship was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard on his face, who looked very weathered, but he could be seen to be cheerful and talkative. From his mouth, he learned that the ruins of Naransat were just the name of outsiders, because there was indeed a ruined ruin, but the locals usually called that place a mass grave.
Criminals who have been executed, corpses that have not been claimed, corpses left behind by murderers after their crimes..... And so on and so forth, they would all be thrown at that place, plus there was a plague outbreak in Kantwin thirty years ago, and at least thousands of people died, and the bodies of these people were also abandoned there, so it was even more inaccessible to the living, and only a small number of people who were interested in the ruins would pass.
Obviously, the coachman regarded Du Yuqi as the kind of curious tourist, so he was kind enough to emphasize the danger of going to the mass grave, trying to dispel the rash impulse of this gentleman with a generous hand, while Du Yuqi smiled and nodded, but his mouth was gushing about his pursuit and love for art.
But at this moment, the land ship suddenly turned around and walked onto a wide avenue, which had a wide view, and on both sides were planted two neat rows of coconut trees, and the houses on both sides also looked a little peculiar, with mottled and barred stone buildings, a total of three floors, which seemed to have been destroyed for a long time, as if they were ancient ruins.
And these houses have the same material of stone, a unified system, a unified color, but from the colorful clothes, bed sheets, underwear and underwear drying on it, it can be seen that the people living in it are still civilians.
The camel also ran happily on this road, and its speed increased suddenly, but when Du Yuqi found that the patterns on the sidewalks on both sides of the avenue were inlaid with shells, his heart suddenly moved, and he felt as if something had been caught, so he knocked on the wooden plank next to him:
"What's the name of this road?"
"Shell Avenue, sir. Isn't it quite surprising to see such a road in such a place full of yellow sand and dust?"
"The first time I saw this road, I thought the same, it's a miracle, I think it can be as great as the Hanging City! These shells were dug up when this road was built, it is said that hundreds of years ago this was a lake at all, which is very suitable for this kind of shells to grow in large numbers, but the lake dried up, so they became extinct, until they were dug up when the road was built......"
Du Yuqi silently stared at the shells used to pave the ground, he didn't see things as superficially as the coachman, from the patterns you can see that these shells are of the same kind, but the size of the shells is very different, from the size of a palm to the size of a little thumb, and the number is very even.
The lake that can breed such a large number of shells must be not small in area, and there will be rivers flowing in, so under normal circumstances, even if it dries up, it will go through a cycle of three to five years, and there is a buffer time, so it is enough for these shells to move along the river, so under normal circumstances, most of these shells dug up should be the size of a palm and die naturally.
However, at this time, the shells used to pave the road were evenly distributed in large, medium and small, which means that these shells perished in a short period of time when they became extinct.
This is like an archaeologist discovering a cemetery, under normal circumstances, the cemetery should be the majority of middle-aged and elderly, and there are very few teenagers or children, if the proportion of teenagers in this cemetery is surprisingly high, close to the proportion of living people in society, then needless to say, there must be a large-scale plague, or a heinous massacre, this principle can naturally be applied to shells.
