After walking about twenty steps, a large flat ground appeared in front of them, on which some stone chairs were neatly arranged, and some brown things were leaning on the stone chairs. When the two walked across the bridge, not only did they grow their mouths in unison, but Julie took a few steps back and almost sat on the ground.

It turned out that the brown object leaning on the stone chair was actually a corpse, and the corpse was covered with a thin film, which looked even more terrifying. At first, the two of them didn't understand what was going on, but when Joe noticed the drops of water dripping from the stalactites above his head, it dawned on him.

It turns out that these brown objects are human stalagmites made using the principle of forming stalactites!

When water seeps into the crevices of the limestone, it dissolves the calcium carbonate in it, and each stalactite and stalagmite comes from these water droplets containing calcium carbonate. As the water slowly leaks downward, a little of the calcium carbonate in it will be deposited and accumulated on the roof of the cave or on the ground, where it will accumulate over many years. The deposited calcium carbonate will slowly become longer, eventually forming stalactites at the top of the cave, stalagmites at the bottom of the cave, and when the stalactites are connected to the stalagmites, they form stone pillars.

And these corpses in front of them apply this principle. It caused water from the roof of the cave to drip on the top of the corpses' heads, and then fall on top of the corpses' heads, flowing all over the body, using some unknown method to speed up the deposition of calcium carbonate, and finally coating the corpses with a stone film. It reminded Joe of the mummies of ancient Egypt, and they also chose to wrap the corpse in something special to preserve it, but in terms of material selection, the protective layer of calcium carbonate in front of them was obviously countless times more powerful than the effect of cloth strips coated with preservatives. The thickness of these films is uneven: the thick ones are almost as thick as the stalactites outside, and the corpses have been around for about the same time as the entire cave. The thin ones, the stone film barely wraps around the corpses, and the time of existence will not exceed 100 years, and these corpses are accumulated from generation to generation. Their faces were clearly visible under the ice-like stalactites, and their bodies were as intact as they were when they were alive, and it would be hard to imagine that they were all dead if it weren't for the fact that they were all closed.

"Look at what they're wearing. Julie suddenly said next to her, "The thick ones are the same as the ones on the mural at first, and then they start to change slowly. It's clear they're descendants of the people on the mural!"

You're right, Joe pointed to a large stone tablet on his seat, which read: The Sage is with us, even if he is gone, we are willing to always guard his grave, and we believe that when we are in danger, the Sage will return and guide us to the right path!

After listening to Joe's translation, Julie was silent for a while, bowed deeply to the corpses, and then sighed heartily, "This is really a creepy work of art, but it is also a great work of art!"

Joe nodded in agreement, he counted, there were more than forty corpses here, which means that this custom has been passed down for more than 1,000 years, which is almost as long as Joe found out from the history books that the sage existed. Joe was curious about what kind of person the sage was, and what kind of charisma it possessed, so that they left their bodies here after they died from generation to generation, to protect the sage's cemetery.

After seeing this spectacle, Joe and Julie's hearts were mixed, although they were full of interest in the fire of Nirvana, but when they thought of the graveyard of the sage in front of them, they felt strange in their hearts, and they always felt that they had disturbed a venerable elder. But often no matter what kind of reverence they have in their hearts, it is difficult for people to turn a blind eye to the treasure that is close in front of them, even if they know that there must be a lot of curses in front of them, but in the end, the interest in the fire of Nirvana prevails in the hearts of the two, and the two decide to move on.

After walking for about 50 meters, a large fog appeared in front of the two of them, and these white mist, restrained by the power of magic, were firmly attached to the ground and fixed in a large area in front of the two, as if they were hiding something.

The two cautiously burrowed into the fog, and Joe noticed that Julie's breathing began to become heavier, and the "plateau red" on her face became more serious. He hesitated for a while and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw the girl's resolute eyes, the words stopped when they came to his mouth. This is Julie, who is very talkative most of the time, but she has a very strong self-esteem and is sometimes very stubborn, like the lion represented by Gryffindor.

It took a short time for the two to come out of the fog, even though they had experienced so many unimaginable things along the way, but this time Joe and Julie were still surprised and lost their minds, if the stalactites just now made Joe surprised by the magic of the cave and the consistency of the people, then the scene in front of him made Joe completely fall to the ground for the five bodies admired by the designer.

What appeared in front of the two of them was not a simple tomb, nor a trap, but a huge city! Compared to where Joe was now, the terrain of this city was much lower, so standing in Joe's position was just overlooking the entire city. But because of this, Joe and Julie felt a heartfelt shock even more.

It is an ancient city with a mixture of Judaism, Christianity and Islam~Ranism. Viewed from above, the whole city is in an unconventional circle, as if it had been drawn on the ground with a compass and a ruler. All the buildings are scattered and seem to be scattered, but if you look closely, you feel that their arrangement has a special pattern, and the combination has a natural beauty, as if it was created by nature itself. One house, one house, one floor and one wall, all reveal the charm of nature. This should be the patent of nature, and it is a realm that is difficult for human beings to reach. But now, it is presented in front of Joe in an artificial way. Joe couldn't think of any other words to describe his mood than worship.

What's even more powerful is that this city, which is obviously more than 1,000 years old, is unscathed, brick by brick as if it had just been built, spotless, if it weren't for the slightest human connection in the city, Joe would definitely think of it as a thriving new city.

In the middle of the city, there is a huge circle, about 50 meters in diameter and seven or eight times as tall as the other buildings, and it stands out from the crowd, and the other buildings hold it like stars holding the moon. The altar is erected in a conical shape, giving it the impression of a bit like a circular pyramid. Under the super vision given by the magical transformation, Joe saw that it was a pitch-black spire, which was the center of the altar, and there was a cane inserted, which was very similar to the one in the previous picture, a one-man tall pitch-black cane, with a spherical cane head, and a cross-shaped mark on it, and the imprint exuded a strange power. From a distance, it was so bright and bright, but there was a feeling that the light seemed to be sucked in by it, not only the light, but also the cane seemed to suck in the surrounding temperature.

A yin wind blew across Joe's back, and the hairs on Joe's neck suddenly stood up, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. There's no reason, it's like the legendary sixth sense, there's just no reason to feel it.

"Julie, we need to get out of here quickly!" Joe felt her temples thump. He was looking towards the city, and the natural charm disappeared so suddenly, replaced by a kind of slaughter and gloom, like a bloody battlefield after a battle, full of countless unjust souls who died in vain.

No, it's too evil here. Joe thought. "Julie, we have to hurry up. However, Julie behind her did not respond in the slightest.

Just as Joe was about to look back to see what was going on, there was a thud behind him.
