The flame of life lit up farther away as the two men moved, and it was much larger than expected, estimated to be the size of a large wine cellar, and it was conceivable how large the whole tree could be.

Soon the two of them found something, and they didn't go more than ten meters away. In one corner, there are a large pile of gray-white bones neatly placed on the ground, there are a lot of them, although they don't understand corpses, but at a glance, they can feel that these bones are very old, like human, but the physique is very small, it is very likely that the remains of those ghost children.

Zheng Xiaofeng said: "It's so neatly arranged, someone must have dealt with it deliberately?" ”

Cheng Ruxue took a closer look and found that there were no obvious traces around this clearing, so she said, "It seems that the person who dealt with them has been a long time away from now." ”

Maybe it's the group of ancients who live in the treehouse, this is a great possibility, then the people who came here before and these ghost children can probably coexist peacefully here, this is not an incomprehensible situation, after all, there is an experience in the ancient country of Pozi, even the weird monster of Potuo can live in harmony with people, and other presumably can.

It's just that Zheng Xiaofeng still doesn't know how the people of the ancient country of Pozi managed to control Potuo at that time, they can't all be like Elysium, it's okay to control one, and it seems a bit fantastical to control a large group.

The bones were mostly seated, some facing two people, some with their backs to each other. At this time, Zheng Xiaofeng discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, there seemed to be a small hole in the spine of all the bones. Zheng Xiaofeng went around and confirmed, and found that all the bones were really like this, and it was obvious that they should have been deliberately made.

Cheng Ruxue also discovered this, so she asked, "Did someone do it?" Why would anyone do this? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, so he greeted Dong Lack and asked him to come and have a look.

Dong Que watched it for a long time, but he also felt puzzled, and said: "I really haven't heard of anyone doing this, but I guess it's nothing more than three conditions, one is to make some kind of mark, one is to draw bone marrow, and the other is to put something in the spine, in addition to these three ...... I don't think there's any other reason. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng pondered for a while, and felt that what Dong Que had to say was reasonable, but the first two may have no way for them to verify, and if it is the third one, maybe seeing is believing.

"Shall we see if there is something hidden in their spines? What if it makes sense to us? Zheng Xiaofeng suggested.

"It can be, but ......" Cheng Ruxue looked a little hesitant, "these things look ...... I always feel that it is really a child's transformation, and it is not good to move other people's bones like this? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng sighed and said the same, but he couldn't help but be curious. Zheng Xiaofeng had no choice but to walk forward again, carefully searching for the pile of bones, and finally, he really found a skeleton with a broken spine.

Na, this time, there is no need for them to directly destroy the corpse, Zheng Xiaofeng carefully picked up the bone and looked inside like a telescope.

There seemed to be something in it, Zheng Xiaofeng pulled it out little by little, and when he saw what it was, several people let out a "whoop", which was obviously a little unexpected.

It's a branch, broken, but it feels like it's still alive, at least not so dry that it doesn't look like it's dry.

"Someone drilled a hole in these corpses just to put a twig in them?" Zheng Xiaofeng said with a smile.

"That's not right." At this time, Bai Qianyu's voice sounded behind him, he didn't know when he also came over, Zheng Xiaofeng frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't think these little holes are made after they're dead." Bai Qianyu explained, "You see, the cross-section, color and surrounding bone tissue of these wounds are almost exactly the same, what does this mean? This indicates that the holes were created while they were still alive, and only then would the wounds heal and appear to be similar to normal bones. ”

Dong Que couldn't help but "hiss", a little surprised, and asked, "Then according to your meaning, these branches were also put in when they were alive?" That...... Isn't that man dead? Will they survive? ”

Bai Qianyu said: "It's not impossible, but this is just my speculation, after all, I am not an expert in this area, and it is possible to be wrong, but one thing is obvious, the tree here is definitely not an ordinary tree, and it may be able to cause some unexpected results." ”

Zheng Xiaofeng thought about it for a moment, and then deduced: "It seems that this result is to create a symbiotic state between these ghost babies and trees, but is there any special reason or significance for the people who do these things to do this?" ”

Cheng Ruxue and Dong Que glanced at Zheng Xiaofeng one after another, their expressions were a little complicated for a while, in fact, before his words fell, the three of them all had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, similar questions, when they were in the Saudi tomb, they seemed to have asked them, and the doubts in their hearts at that time seemed to be the same type of feeling as now.

"Do you mean...... Another human experiment on immortality?! Cheng Ruxue tried to say.

Zheng Xiaofeng snapped his fingers, his face was heavy, and said: "I also think it should be like this, since this place is very likely to be the place recorded in the ancient books, it means that the scorpion messenger must have visited here back then, whether it is in the ancient country of Poz, or in the unknown civilization in Saudi Arabia, the people there have the idea of exploring the mystery after seeing the scorpion messenger's immortal ability, and I think the people here should be no exception." So what to say...... The body of these ghost children is really a young baby, this tree is different, it must have been worshiped as a sacred object by the people here back then, and the life span of the tree is immortal for thousands of years, and the baby symbolizes the most vigorous vitality, and the people at that time are indeed very likely to associate between the two. ”

Although this is just wishful thinking, it sounds very reasonable, everyone thinks that the truth should be eight or nine inseparable, no matter what, no matter what method is used, the people at that time did succeed, or to be precise, half of the success, these bones in front of them are probably the products of the failed experiment, and those ghost babies have indeed gained a long life with this tree.

It's just that the price is really a bit too big, and the bones can't be counted at a glance, and how many babies have died in this unrealistic fantasy, and the real number may be far more shocking than imagined.

So many newborns who are waiting to be fed die in wishful thinking, the situation is really unimaginable.

"That scorpion messenger is really harmful." Zheng Xiaofeng sighed.

The pile of bones stretched further away, and the four men followed it, continuing their search. It didn't take long for the situation to change again, and the bones of babies no longer appeared on the ground, but instead the corpses of many adults, and these corpses were very disorganized, and it could even be said that they had not been placed at all. There were many swords and other weapons scattered among the corpses, and a closer look revealed that their bones were marked by many slashes.

"It's ...... War? The people here have experienced war? Dong asked if he had to ask.

Bai Qianyu said: "Even if it's not a war, it should be a large-scale armed conflict, and there are obviously many people killed here." ”

A few people walked forward, and found that all the bones in the range that could be illuminated by the fire of life were like this, the ground was a little crowded, and their feet were almost unable to stand, and there were probably more than a thousand people who died here.

"I'll be a good girl." Dong Que was very shocked in his heart, he and a few junior brothers and sisters had not walked this journey before, but they had not observed so many things until now, and it could only be said that the last time the situation was really urgent, forcing them to miss so many key things.

Looking at these dense bones, several people's hearts were a little depressed, they had already overcome the fear of corpses, but it was inevitable that they would feel sorry for the people who lived in that backward and wild era.

Human life is indeed much more valuable now than before.

At this time, Cheng Ruxue suddenly said: "You say, the reason why the civilization here is going to fall, could it be because of this armed struggle?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

Cheng Ruxue said: "I also suddenly had such an association. You see, all the places recorded in the ancient books we have been to before, except for the Ailan Kingdom, all the other civilizations have died out for some reason, didn't Kudo Jun also mention it when translating, about the reason for their demise, it is difficult to find information all over the world to verify, and we already know the reason for the demise of the ancient country of Pozi, Liu Bushuai According to the murals, it was a group of 'ghost soldiers' who emerged from the ground, forcing the ancient country of Pozi to be destroyed little by little. And here, again, we see traces of suspected war, is this a coincidence, or is there another connection behind it? Could these civilizations that have disappeared inexplicably be destroyed by an unknown war? ”

Zheng Xiaofeng and Bai Qianyu said "uh", noncommittal, the jump of this idea seems to be a little too big, but Dong Que thought for a moment, and seemed to think of something, so he said: "Don't say it, we don't know what the situation is on the Saudi side, but there has always been a saying about Ailan, that is, the ancient Ailan country was actually destroyed in a sudden war, but who the opponent of that war was, no one has an answer, but the historical community has given a positive conclusion that the current Ailan country is only called Ailan, It is actually different from the ancient Alam, which is similar to Egypt and ancient Egypt, but in fact, they are completely two concepts, not the same civilization. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng "hissed" for a moment, then things may be subtle, if there are three civilizations, recorded in the same ancient book at the same time, and for the same reason eventually went to extinction, and who their opponents are, no one can say, then it is difficult to believe that this is a complete coincidence, but these three places are so far apart, if it is the same opponent, is it a little too unbelievable?

Wait, no—it's not entirely impossible!

Didn't that scorpion messenger manage to visit all of these places?! If he can do it, it means that the possible opponent can also do it, so is there such a possibility-the people who wiped out these civilizations are actually the same people as the scorpion messenger?!

Zheng Xiaofeng was taken aback by his own thoughts, and hurriedly wanted to open his mouth and share this idea with everyone, but at the same time, he saw that the expressions of several people all became as shocked as him in an instant, obviously, they would not be unexpected.

"His grandmother's, that's interesting, what happened back then?" Dong Quede's curiosity couldn't help but come up, and Bai Qianyu said: "Could it be that after the scorpion envoy exchanged the longevity technique for the cultural achievements of these civilizations, he turned around and sent an army to destroy all these places?" Came to unload the mill and kill the donkey? ”

Cheng Ruxue couldn't help but be speechless, and said: "If this is the case, a civilization like the ancient country of Pozi that was once prosperous and blessed with Potuo and Blood Skeleton will be destroyed in war, then it makes sense, after all, those people have the ability to live forever, how can normal people fight." ”

"Good fellows." Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaofeng's hairs had already stood up faintly, "Everyone, I suddenly thought of a serious question, if those people can really live forever, then that civilization ...... Could it still be that it still exists in the world, but no one has discovered it yet? ”

"There are many things in the world that are unknown, and what you said is not impossible." At this moment, a person's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and several people turned their heads to find that it was Wind Demon Qin who had woken up.
