Under the unscrupulous destruction of the Nine Deaths Tomb Armor, most of the huge dead city was destroyed in an instant, and a bronze hall buried in the ground appeared in front of Song Xing's eyes in the large number of stones lifted by the bronze Teng Man.

The original dark hall was completely lifted by the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor, and before Song walked closer, he saw a number of ancient corpses wearing gold ornaments in the hall.

These ancient corpses were all bowed downward, their skin and flesh withered and similar to tree bark, their faces were indistinguishable, and yellow water oozed from time to time from their open mouths.

A large fungus grew from the mouths of these ancient corpses, resembling grimaces, red as blood, like umbrella covers, and the salivation of the corpses' mouths fell on the top, and the roots became one with these zombies.

In Song Xing's sight, the closer Wang Fatzi and the others got to the bronze hall, the faster the vitality on his body passed, and all of them were absorbed by the strange big fungus in the hall.

There are countless small bacteria distributed around the big fungus, and countless dense fog is emitted from these fungi, even with the protection of the talisman, Hu Bayi and the others get a little closer, they feel suffocated and numb, their bodies are weak, their eyes are a little unable to open, and their hearts are horrified.

Under Song Xing's gaze, these grimace mushrooms seemed to feel threatened, and the hall was suddenly filled with thick fog, trying to cover the big fungus's figure.

The blue light flashed, and before the mist filled, Song Xing was already slashing in the air, directly blasting the largest grimace fungus into pieces.

The fragments of the top of the rhizome of the large fungus turn into black water when they land, and the smell is unbearable.

Smelling the stench, Hu Bayi and the others, who were originally a little dazed, suddenly felt that their bodies were light, and the numbness on their bodies slowly calmed down.

Several more sword lights flashed, and the grimace mushrooms in the entire hall, along with those dry corpses, were all divided into countless pieces by the sword light, and they drifted away with the wind.

A large amount of gray-white smoke, accompanied by fragments of decomposing corpses, poured out in the air, and even vaguely formed a grimace outline.

Song Xing frowned, pinched the sword trick in his hand, and slashed violently into the air, completely extinguishing the grimace smoke.

When Song Xing destroyed all the grimace mushrooms, Wang Fatzi and the others sat down on the ground, sweating all over, panting: "This ...... What the hell is this? Cadaveric fungus? ”

Song Xing looked at the bronze hall and said: "The strange thing in the world is none other than the genus of mushrooms, probably these ancient corpses of snake worshippers wearing gold ornaments have devoured a rare mushroom in the abyss before their deaths, and they can salivate from their mouths after death, so that this poisonous fungus will be destroyed and will not wither for thousands of years." ”

Hu Bayi rested for a while, felt a lot more comfortable, and looked at the main hall with palpitations: "Approaching these grimace fungi just now, I feel that my soul was almost sucked away by them, it's too dangerous." ”

A few people didn't dare to go in the direction of the main hall anymore, but Song Xing walked into it by himself, and Hu Bayi and the four of them hurriedly followed.

The main hall is not very spacious, only about 100 zhang, after the ancient corpse and grimace fungus disappeared, the fog in the bronze hall dissipated, revealing a black hole in the center of the main hall.

Beneath the cave is a city of 10,000 households, although it is in ruins, but under the dust, the undulating outlines of the various corridors and houses are still faintly recognizable.

Brushing away the dust covering the surface of the walls, many shirtless ghost reliefs were revealed on the stone walls, with fangs and claws, strange behaviors, and faces facing one direction.

Professor Sun said that snake worshippers believe that after death, except for the reincarnation in the belly of the Quetzalcoatl God, the rest of them will become ghosts after death, and their corpses will decay, and they will eventually fall into nothingness.

And the direction that these ghost reliefs look at is the hidden spring, and the corpses fall into nothingness.

In addition, Professor Sun also found a blood-red ancient seal of the Xia Dynasty dragon seal on the relief, which he translated, which means that the treasure buried in the ground cannot be unearthed, and the "ancient enemy" lurks in the abyss.

Song Xing frowned: "Ancient enemies? The snake worshippers can be said to be one of the earliest civilizations that appeared in ancient times, and the time of civilization was before the Xia Dynasty. ”

Professor Sun was silent, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "According to the Dragon Seal Ancient Seal I saw, there are two gods worshiped by the snake worshippers, could the ancient enemy be the enemy of the gods?" Or, these two gods are opposites in themselves. ”

Song Xing's eyes lit up: "You mean, because of the worship of different gods, the snake worship civilization is divided into two camps. ”

Professor Sun nodded: "The Yuwang stele that existed in the outside world in later generations is actually based on the bronze inscriptions since the Yin Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, and the stele is recorded with the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty, to the effect that "although there are sages and ancient saints, they will not break this pass." It shows that in this abyss, there is an incomparably terrifying existence, which makes future generations vigilant and dare not go deep into it. ”

"Since ancient times, the great sages and sages have understood all the wisdom, and they should never reveal the secrets in the temple," Song Xing pondered the sentence, "Is it referring to the ancient gods under the abyss?" ”

"There is no answer to this question, but the purpose of the snake worshippers should be related to the ancient gods, the descendants of the snake worshippers enter the abyss and look for the relics left by the ancient gods, perhaps not just to deal with Dayu," Professor Sun guessed, "The only way to do this is to move forward and reach the location of the temple, where there may be an answer." ”

As the crowd continued to move forward, hundreds of horseshoe crabs were found in the collapsed passage.

These horseshoe crabs are dark blue in color, covered with dense layers of chelicera, and have spine-shaped hard limbs on their tails, crawling on the ground with an extremely fast speed and a piercing sound of "opening the teeth".

"Be careful, don't touch them, the blood of these bugs is very corrosive." Just when Wang Fatzi was about to trample on a few corpse horseshoe crabs, Shirley Yang reminded him in time.

In the end, these corpse horseshoe crabs were all stabbed to death by the Nine Death Horror Armor, and the blue blood was absorbed by it as soon as it flowed out.

Shirley Yang studied these ancient creatures quite a lot, looked at the corpse of the horseshoe crab in front of her, and said: "Strange, these corpse horseshoe crabs are so ancient, it is almost as if they have survived from the Devonian period. ”

Devonian, the fourth epoch in the Paleozoic era of geological epoch, belongs to the Phanerozoic Paleozoic, which began about 405 million years ago and ended 350 million years ago, lasting about 50 million years.

Although Professor Sun also felt strange, he said: "There is nothing strange about the prehistoric ecological environment maintained here, and there are Devonian paleontology. ”

Song Xing looked around, and then on a wall, he saw a mural.

It was an extremely mysterious and strange figure, among which was a tall human figure with fleshy horns on his head, pale hair and eyebrows, a strange shape, his hands stretched out, and in front of him were ordinary people who were only half their height.

Professor Sun also noticed Song Xing's gaze and looked over.

Song Xing asked: "The horns on the top of the head are a little like the appearance of the Shennong clan, but the height is twice that of ordinary people, in ancient times, was there such a race?" ”

Professor Sun hesitated for a moment and said, "I have seen some patterns on the ruins of the Fire Extinguishing Country, but the content depicted in them seems to be the scene of the ancient ancestors coming into contact with alien objects, which is absurd and witty and incomprehensible. ”

Song Xing understood what he meant, "You mean, the giant suspected of being Shennong in the mural is a visitor from outside the world, and the Shennong clan may be the descendants they left behind in ancient times?" ”

Professor Sun did not admit it, but he did not deny it either: "Except for the Plutozoic Universe, which has no traces of life, since the birth of single-celled organisms in the Archean Universe, there have been too many things on this planet that cannot be explained in words and science. ”

"The Shennong clan in the ancient murals is indeed the first-born flesh horn, but whether it has anything to do with the giants in this mural is impossible to verify unless you return to that era."

Song Xing remembered that he had seen it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the ancient people, the shape of the beast, Fuxi and Nuwa people with the head of the snake body, Shennong's horns, Chi especially bears, although the shape is like birds and beasts, but to the pure to simple, there is a great sage.

But for a while, it was difficult to connect those ancient characters with extraterrestrial civilizations.
