Chapter 424: The Sea of Blood Emerges
The rich color of blood suddenly appeared, and there was a glimmer of light, as if the light of hell and death reflected after the disappearance of the vast white bones
The large expanse of rich blood was connected, as if it was a sea of blood, this vast and hidden blood, immediately shocked everyone present, even Carl and the old man Dao lost their minds in an instant.
Although they came back to their senses quickly, their scalps tightened at that moment, and the feeling of shock made them take a deep breath.
"This color ......" Julie came back to her senses, looking at the large area of blood, her eyes changed suddenly: "Boss, do you remember the blood of Bassoon before?" And the unknown life that attacked us. ”
Hearing this, the expressions of several people moved, and Carl also looked at the area sharply, and the images in his mind jumped out of his memory hall.
"That's right...... This color is the color that is revealed when an unknown creature is hit, and it is also the color of bassoon's blood...... No, there is still a difference. ”
He stared intently and whispered, "Bassoon's blood is a little more vivid." ”
"That is, we were attacked before, this kind of life?" Third Uncle Dao frowned: "Did they kill Bassoon?" ”
"Maybe......" The old man looked uncertain: "If it is them, there must be some growth process in between, otherwise the difference between the two is still too big." And, if you look closely, these things are like aquatic plants, how do they move? ”
"There must be something we don't know."
When the people heard this, they immediately looked at it.
Their eyesight was outstanding, and coupled with the impact of the current, they really found the gap between these "sea of blood" that had been cultivated.
"Is it a combination of plants or fungi?" Abel whispered, the doubt on his face did not disappear, just like the old man said it, they had no way to find out the details from this clue.
Carl next to him turned around: "Don't worry about this place yet, you look at the cliff in front of you." ”
Everyone turned around and looked over, and then they were shocked to find that a gate had appeared on the fast rock wall in front of them!
A huge portal more than 20 meters high!
Looking at it from a distance, the thick pillar stone next to the torii-style door seems to go straight to the sky, and there are intricate patterns and patterns carved on it, but it is too far away to see clearly.
And above the stout pillar stones, above the broad plaque is engraved a row of incomprehensible handwriting, although it can be faintly seen, but no one knows it.
"I obviously didn't have this before...... "Third Uncle Dao exclaimed: "It, where did this gate come from?" Is there really a miracle in this world? ”
"I don't know if it's a miracle or not." The old man took a puff of his cigarette pouch, squinted his eyes and said, "But it must have appeared when we looked to the side just now, and it was also because the sound of the waterfall was too loud that we didn't notice it." ”
Carl on the side nodded approvingly and said, "The old man is right, there may be miracles in this world...... But here it should be done using the mechanism. ”
"This kind of mechanism...... What a miracle! ”
He praised it in his mouth, and there was a burning emotion in his eyes: "I must go inside, see what is inside!" ”
As he spoke, he tidied himself up and looked at a few people around him: "Now and now?" ”
"Wait!"
The old man of the knife abruptly interrupted Carl's words and actions, he squinted his eyes and said, "Wait a little longer, now is not the right time." ”
The timing is wrong?
The eyes of several people fell on him in unison, and Carl spoke, "What time?" ”
"Of course it is......" The old man moved his arms, twisted his neck, and stood side by side with Karl, staring at the huge portal, and then at the waterfalls hanging on both sides: "Wait until they flow clean." ”
The voice fell, as if a command had been lost.
The waterfall above that was still falling became smaller and smaller, and quickly disappeared.
The water level of the two streams that carried the water of the waterfall gradually decreased, gradually returning to its original state, and the blood-colored life that had been submerged by the water was gradually revealed, leaving the water, their heavy color, and that little glimmer of light slowly faded.
The surrounding environment seemed to be returning to its previous state, but Carl and the others immediately sensed that something was wrong!
The road under their feet was bright.
A faint fluorescent blue flame lit up, leading straight into the tall portal, which became more and more like a netherworld.
"Old man Dao, can we go now?" Abel asked, looking around.
"I don't know very well......," the old man shook his head, "I just found out that the water of the waterfall is not as turbulent as before, this kind of grand mechanism, since the waterfall has changed, it will definitely change, so I asked everyone to wait." ”
"But I don't know what will happen later, so I can only take one step at a time."
"That's what the old man said." Abel nodded approvingly: "Then let's go forward and try?" ”
The old man nodded and looked at Carl on the side: "This time I'll go first?" Or ......"
"Let's do it together." Karl's face was calm: "The two of them, after all, there is some care." ”
After saying this, he strode forward, and walked forward with the old man.
………………………………
Tick! Tick......
Jiang Xian looked up at the stone pillar above, and the hat on his head blocked the dripping droplets.
Although there was a previous shock, a lot of water droplets in the entire stone temple dripped together. But it was so damp and cold here, and the water vapor gathered and quickly formed water droplets, which grew and then dripped down from the sky again.
Every time they walk for a while, they will be hit by a few drops of water, which is very helpless.
But what made him even more helpless was that the stone carvings in this stone temple were too badly damaged, and many places were incomplete and could only see a corner, and he couldn't get much information at all.
This made him feel a little resentful, why did the people who made these murals use paint in the first place? Wouldn't it be nice to just use the simplest stone carvings?
Compared with bamboo slips, compared with books, calligraphy and paintings, and compared with electronic storage devices in modern society, the most ancient and simple methods of preserving information for a long time are those that are carved on stone.
"Mr. Jiang! Look here! ”
Fang Yunye's voice came from not far away, he immediately turned around, came to the other party's side in three or two steps, and looked at the position that the other party was pointing at.
"The corner of the mural here is quite complete, and it shows something, right?"
Jiang Xian looked at the wall and nodded, the location of this corner was quite remote, and there were only a few traces of water droplets dripping around, and a raised stone block above just shaded here, obviously this bulge allowed the traces here to be preserved.
The things on the mural are very simple, a few small people who can't see their faces clearly, and some things are planted in an open field.
The thing quickly grew and spread into a patch, which was then cut off and fed to some of the breeding bugs.
As time passed, the bugs grew larger and larger, forming swarms, which were driven outside to fight some wild beasts and beasts.
They treat these insects as treasures and feed them close to their bodies every day, and some of them will be sad and sullen when they die.
"It seems to be a little like Miao Jiang's Gu worm feeding? But there are still a lot of differences......" Jiang Xian's thought flashed in his mind, but unfortunately the picture behind it had disappeared.
"Has Mr. Jiang gained anything?"
Jiang Xian nodded and shook his head: "There is too little information, I can only make a guess here, the Gu worms in southern Yunnan have a long history, and they are likely to have evolved from the method depicted on the murals." Nothing else ......."
"However, the food eaten by the Gu worms in the painting seems to multiply quickly, but it is not certain, after all, you can't figure out what the timeline on this mural is."
"Let's go, let's take a look at the back."
As he spoke, Jiang Xian stood up and was about to move to the next place, but he raised his head sharply after taking two steps.
Fang Yunye on the side saw this, his eyes froze, he cautiously held the firearm, and before he could speak, he saw Jiang Xian turn around, his eyes patrolling the entire stone room back and forth.
"That's not right...... We entered from the Zhenmu position, and I have been following the operation of the Qimen Bagua......"
Jiang Xian looked at the exits on all sides and then looked at the stone pillars above: "But now, my position seems to be at the water level?" ”
He closed his eyes, thinking about what he had seen before he entered the stone temple and what he had seen after entering the temple, as well as the passage from room to room. The picture flickered like a marquee, but it was not chaotic at all, allowing him to clearly sort out what he saw along the way.
"That's right...... I'll just say that I always feel that something is wrong, it turns out that the direction of the gossip has been changed. ”
He let out a long breath, fortunately he found it early, otherwise he would not be comfortable if he really entered the trap here.
In this way, the change in gossip is the result of the previous shock...... It is the change of the mechanism, not the activity of living beings. Jiang Xian once again let go of a worry in his heart, if there was really a monster that could cause such a big shock, no matter how much they prepared, it would be useless.
"Old Fang, come with me this way."
He turned around, greeted Fang Yunye, and walked towards a door first.
The two quickly walked out, and after a while, they came to the next room, but Jiang Xian's footsteps did not stop, just glanced around, and then turned to another door and walked out.
This was done three or four times in a row, even if Fang Yunye was still confused, he also found that the water droplets in the room seemed to be gradually decreasing.
It's not like it used to be, there are always droplets of water dripping.
"That's right......" Jiang Xian's footsteps stopped, looking at the stone chamber in front of him with a satisfied expression, although at a glance, the stone wall of the stone chamber was still mottled, but because of the difference in humidity, the overall preservation of the mural was obviously more complete than the previous one, and he could get more information from it.
He stepped forward and was just about to look at the stone wall, when there was a sudden pause at his feet.
He bent down and looked down at the ground, where a white bone appeared, and on the white bone there was a pattern that he was very familiar with.
A lifelike butterfly.
Black Death Butterfly!
