Chapter 096: The Mysterious Stone Chamber
This iron railing is not complete, after running for a while, it was found that there were countless broken people, and there were a number of gaps in large and small sizes, just when Xu Yang was wondering how the hard iron railing was produced, he heard a pop, and the crisp breaking sound came from behind him, like the sound of a vice twisting steel bar!
When I looked back, I found that those mole crickets had rushed out of the area protected by the iron fence, rushed out one by one, and chased after Xu Yang!
Thinking of the hardness of his Buck saber, which can still twist and bend, Xu Yang suddenly understood how those iron rods could break...
In contrast, one is an alloy process and the other is an ancient iron-smelting technology, how can the two be compared?
But no matter what, although the iron railing is not worth mentioning in front of these excited mole crickets, it still buys Xu Yang some buffer time, otherwise Xu Yang at this moment, no matter how he runs, he can't outrun the thing with insect wings on six feet, he quickly escaped, and kept speeding up his movements, so that he turned on the flashlight in one gear, and the light could be dispersed farther!
If there is a corner, try to run around the corner, and the direction discrimination ability of human beings will be relatively better, and insects like mole crickets that construct their bodies, after all, they are crawling, and every time they turn, they need to adjust their posture, which must first use their tentacles to detect, and then change their shape, the direction of the six insect feet, etc., which is far less convenient than the two-legged monster of people...
In this way, in the speed game, Xu Yang temporarily gained an advantage...
Fortunately, the tunnels are set up with twists and turns, and there are many places to turn around, and the distance between Xu Yang and those mole crickets is getting bigger and bigger!
Although he didn't dare to slack off, but after opening the distance, he still calmed himself down a little, and the way to expand his advantage was not to blindly brute, but also to use his brain, so he took advantage of this time, he quickly took out the map again, and carefully looked at where he was now, so that he could find a way to figure out the direction and move forward to the "out" place as soon as possible!
At this moment, there are roads on the front and right, Xu Yang originally intended to move forward, but after looking at the map, he planned to find the original way to the right, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of clattering above his head, and some dust fell on his shoulders, he couldn't help but look up, sure enough... The huge mole cricket opened its mouthparts wide and made a weird creaking sound!
Xu Yang sweated in front of his forehead, once he turned his back to the guy at this distance, he turned around and fled, the result could only be pounced and eaten, his only way was to slowly retreat, and at the same time hold the gun in his hand and aim at the guy with teeth and claws...
Once again, the phototaxis aroused the excitement of the mole cricket, and it immediately pounced without foreshadowing!
Xu Yang had no choice but to fire, and with a bang, it hit its mouthparts, and suddenly the green juice splashed, but it didn't seem to be afraid, after a pause, it pounced again, Xu Yang had no choice but to use the last bullet, and it was another shot, which exploded its worm brain!
The guy struggled to tighten his body, and after struggling for a while, he whimpered for his life, Xu Yang saw this, he also wiped his sweat, threw the gun without bullets, lightened his load, and hurriedly ran backwards, but just after running for a while, he suddenly felt a gust of wind passing by, and a terrible feeling made him feel cold...
Haw, chirp, squeak, click...
He slowly turned his head to take a look, but saw an inexplicable huge species gnawing on the dead mole cricket, in comparison, he could see that the thing was about twice the size of the eaten mole cricket, the body was covered with white fluff, its hind wings loomed with some kind of pattern like a skeleton, the insect shell of the forebody, like a black armor, shiny, the most terrifying, was the huge body, as if a human baby head had grown upside down....
Xu Yang swallowed his saliva violently, and was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately he held on!
"It's... What the heck? Xu Yang felt his head buzzing and his ears ringing!
However, the sense of fear still stimulated Xu Yang's escape instinct, and after gradually regaining some reason, Xu Yang also slowly retreated backwards, one step, two steps, three steps, and then felt that even if the thing found him, it would not pounce on him at the first time.
Who cares if you can run that way at the moment? The most important thing is to be alive...
So he ran at a rapid pace, and he didn't know how long he had been running like this, until he had indeed reached the limit, and he could only rest for a while out of breath, and scan around with a flashlight by the way, so as not to have an accident when he was resting.
But just when he took the flashlight around, he unexpectedly found that the current location was different from all the corridors and narrow roads just now, it was an open space, and he could see a lot of beams and columns, which were still so carved beams and paintings, full of strange and hideous beast painting styles, but at this moment Xu Yang also noticed that these carvings seemed to be multi-handed and multi-legged, not like some mighty beasts, but like some kind of insects...
"Worship bugs? Is there any mistake, the first time I heard it..."Xu Yang couldn't help but complain.
But soon, he also thought of something, the aborigines regard the back pass of this mountain peak as taboo, and often place living people in it as sacrifices, and also use corpse oil as an offering incense, which is probably related to worship and faith!
Because the gods they worship are these insects in the mountains, the natives think that the way to please the gods is to offer to the living and let them eat!
At the same time, there is also a point, the so-called belief in what you learn, the big mole crickets here are good eaters, and they also take this as the way to advocate this action... This has created a cannibalistic ethos of these dwarf natives!
Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh that one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and these natives who are not guided by the correct concept are really ruined by their own ignorance and blindness...
Just thinking about this, he suddenly looked at something, and slowly leaned forward, but after taking a few closer looks, he suddenly felt a feeling of nausea that could not be contained!
But seeing the things that appeared in front of me can be said to be miserable...
The blackened pools of blood, the fragmented flesh and bones, and the hideous faces of the natives who died tragically, this scene is simply a true portrayal of hell!
Xu Yang almost collapsed, and he wanted to turn back and find another way several times, but fortunately, his reason was restrained, after all, he knew very well what was behind him...
He tried to stop his vomiting thoughts, and was about to step over, but just as he was about to pass by, he suddenly noticed that there were several natives, who would rather die than hug one place tightly, and piled them together, and there was a familiar figure among them, it was the old woman with fox skin, she was also lying there, staring down, her hands tugging...
At the last moment, people must still want to escape, so does she know that there is a way to escape where she dragged away?
Thinking of this, Xu Yang stepped forward and probed with a flashlight, only to find that there was indeed something strange, under her was an iron lid engraved with a strange pattern, this length and width made Xu Yang think of something, coffin board!
"The way to escape is under the coffin board?" Xu Yang couldn't help muttering.
Give it a go!
So Xu Yang cleaned up the board around it, and then began to try to uncover the board, but this thing was so heavy that it couldn't be lifted at all, Xu Yang thought about whether to blow it up with a grenade, but when he had this idea, he suddenly saw a wheel on the side of his coffin, and he could see that there were several strange patterns engraved on it, but there was a crossbar, which made Xu Yang think...
The legendary combination lock?
"Wait a minute... Isn't this pattern...? Xu Yang couldn't help but be surprised.
He hurriedly took out the beast tooth gold in his pocket and illuminated it with a strong light, and sure enough, the special engraved pattern that appeared on it was the same as a certain pattern of this wheel lock...
So he tried to start turning the axle, and there would be a sound of a striker when he turned to the crossbar, which was a confirmation, he remembered that Qin Xiaoyun told him that the beast tooth gold was originally on a priest's scepter, if he knew the bones, the difference between teeth and teeth was very big, side incisors, middle incisors, fangs and molars, etc., all have their effects, so the appearance of growth will be different, if this is used as a classification, Xu Yang can probably guess the two beast tooth gold in his hand, which are located in the first and third sockets of the skull, There is also a corresponding pattern on it.
Qin Xiaoyun held one in her hand, Xu Yang had also seen the pattern, and Yan Xueli gave the man as a junior, and also got a beast tooth gold, asked her about the pattern and general shape on it, plus in the place where the living were sacrificed, she saw the lost gold beast tooth, there was also fire at that time, and he could vaguely remember the pattern, and the beast tooth gold should be located in the front tooth position, probably the fifth...
In this way, a total of seven patterns, Xu Yang probably mastered the first five sequences, but also found a law, each pattern actually represents a natural totem, at the same time, the first pattern, Xu Yang's animal tooth gold also has, he studied it late at night, this abstract expression is not easy to understand, but after pondering for a long time, I can also understand it deeply, the three horizontal lines are slightly curved, which seems to mean "earth".
For a while, it seemed to have a direction, from the first time I entered, the murals made, the stickmen knelt down and worshiped a circular pattern, which is the same "earth" meaning, the sky is round, it is estimated that the culture is common, and then the next murals can basically correspond to the corresponding patterns one by one, at the same time, Xu Yang thought that if the place where he fell is the entrance, then the place where he goes out, there is only the place where these natives enter by mistake, and there is a high probability that it is the place of origin.
From entry to exit, there is a beginning and an end, so as long as you know what the pattern of people being beheaded and still alive painted in the mural there at the end represents, you can guess a...
It wasn't until Xu Yang saw a pattern, like a curved hexapod, that he immediately understood that the two were different planes interpreting the appearance of the "gods" in their hearts, so this was corresponding!
In this way, the order of the six patterns is clear, and you can basically start...
As he bit the flashlight, he began to move on the firing pin a total of seven times!
His heart rose to his throat, and he didn't know what would happen if he was wrong, by the way, whether he could get his wish, but his life was hanging by a thread in the wilderness, and he could only survive in death!
Just a moment after it was completed, there was a strange sound in the space...
