Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Totem Altar

The current pointing mark of the dragon hunting map has a low jumping frequency in the direction of the mountain forest and a high transparency of the cursor, indicating that the corresponding target has almost reached the limit distance of detection.

It would be too exaggerated if Yu Xian strode over and directly found the dinosaur fossils outside the original field of vision.

Fortunately, there is a road on the edge of the forest, which is in the opposite direction of the urban road, far beyond the boundaries of the fossil exploration area, and extends towards the mountain, which is generally in the same direction as the direction indicated by the pointing mark.

Yu Xianshun touched the vine and asked, "Mr. Qu, what is that road for?" ”

"Oh, and when we explored the chemistry and the surrounding area, we found that the forest looked like the remains of an ancient tribal civilization."

"Tribe?"

"Yes, if you are interested, you can take a look with us."

Due to their previous performance, Qu Fei and the other members of the fossil exploration team were very good at leisure, and personally led the way to the depths of the forest.

In their description, they stumbled upon a few totems three or five meters high in the forest, as well as some block-like traces of masonry and stones.

After all, the fossil exploration team is not an expert in the study of ancient civilizations, so it has to open a road first, contact the corresponding scholars, and wait for them to come to the scientific expedition.

Less than 100 meters into the forest, a very unnatural cylinder can already be seen in front of you obliquely perched on the ancient tree.

It was supposed to be a black stone totem about four meters high, but as the years went by, the condition of the soil on the ground changed to the point that it tilted and toppled.

In addition, there are several black stone totems of various lengths, covered with moss, vines, and other plants.

"Do you have any research on this?"

"I don't dare to say that there is research... Can I get closer? ”

"Okay, try not to touch these objects left by the ancients, it's okay to get closer."

After receiving permission, Yu Xian promoted a place in the Black Stone Totem that was not covered by moss.

Even if the wind and rain have eroded for an unknown number of years, it can still be seen that the carving on the totem is delicate.

The carved motif is... A group of people worship something under the leadership of a skeleton.

"Why is their leader a skeleton?"

Qu Fei shook his head, "I don't know, in ancient times, there were often some tribes or small countries that followed the evil god school, maybe their totem beliefs were human bones. ”

Gradually, Yu Xian realized that something was not right.

The totem is not an ordinary skeleton + skeleton, and there are obviously some bone spurs on the skeleton that should not belong to humans.

For example, there are two horn-shaped bone spurs from the shoulder, and there are also bone spurs on the outside of the elbow, like exoskeleton armor.

In the past, when you see this kind of skeleton, you will definitely think that it is nothing more than the myth and demonization of the ancients' beliefs.

Now it's different, Yu Xian has entered the cemetery of the Lianchi Mountain Range and seen something very similar.

Don't turn bones!

According to Brother Dadao, the bones are a special type of zombie.

At that time, the immortal bones that were strafed by the monkeys with machine guns were exactly like this, and bone spurs that were different from those of humans appeared in many places.

Yu Xian was particularly fascinated, and Qu Fei and the others did not open their mouths to disturb, but quietly waited for Yu Xian to retract his body.

"What did you find?"

"Uh... No. ”

Yu Xian didn't dare to say anything directly about the bones, but made a bend and knocked on the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I used to hear from my family that there are zombies and other monsters underground, do these things exist in primitive societies?"

"Hahahaha."

"Hahaha, classmate Yu is really humorous."

Qu Fei waved his hand, "Like those who dig up fossils, and those who study geology, it is not uncommon to dig up large tombs, at most we look at these gods and ghosts from the perspective of history and culture." ”

"I see."

Seeing is believing, of course Yu Xian knows that zombies exist.

It seems that even if it is authenticated by the marketing account, things like zombies are little known, and the conditions for formation are particularly harsh.

Brother Dadao has nearly ten years of experience in visiting tombs, and he has seen only a handful of zombies, but that tomb has only appeared in the early stage of the attack.

If it weren't for Yu Xian's use of the marketing account to eliminate a wave of soul arrest secret arts, he would have to bump into many ghosts in the early stage.

It's not like it's supposed to exist in the same worldview.

"Can I go inside?"

"No problem."

In addition to the totems, there are also several neatly cut fashions exposed on the surface, and the square frames an area of about three or four square meters.

"What does classmate Yu think this looks like?"

"There are totems around, and in the middle there is a box stacked with stones... I can only guess at altars and things like that. ”

"Yes." Qu Fei looked around, "The archaeological team sent someone to take a wave of photos in advance, and everyone guessed about the same. ”

"What about the center of the altar?"

The arrows of the Dragonfinder began to bounce rapidly, pointing towards the center of the altar in a small area.

Yu Xian was sure that there were dinosaur fossils in the altar.

It is unlikely that the fossil happened to be generated there, and there is a high probability that the ancients saw the dinosaur fossil by chance and enshrined it as some kind of mythical beast in the altar.

This kind of phenomenon is not uncommon, and even in some ancient books of Tianyi Kingdom, it is recorded that dragon bones are used in medicine, and the so-called "dragon bones" are dinosaur fossils.

Some fossils were ground into powder, and the defects were huge, and the paleontologists' blood pressure soared.

"We haven't been inside." Qu Fei pointed ahead, "There are no stone bricks in the center of the altar, they are all black clay, waiting for the archaeological team to clean up." ”

"That's right."

Yu Xian knew that there were dinosaur fossils buried in it, but he couldn't step into it directly, so he was inevitably anxious.

Fortunately, the pointing mark was not inserted in the center of the altar, but shifted a little to the upper left corner of the entire altar.

The solid marker thrust down, poking into the black soil.

This is a sign that appears only when the fossil is almost touched, indicating that the fossil in this place was not originally buried in it, but was moved to the altar by the ancients.

"Eh, there's a strange thing here."

"Where?"

Qu Fei and his colleagues were originally discussing various possibilities on the side, but when Yu Xian said this, they all leaned over.

The direct digging action was too obvious, so Yu Xian changed his method and pulled out a shrub from the altar pit.

The shrub the size of an iron pot and some of its roots lifted up the soil, revealing a curved cone firmly inserted by the pointing mark.

Another undiscovered dinosaur fossil has been rediscovered through idle hands, and the dragon search atlas has been updated with new content.

Ankylosaurus spinosa, 2% fossil integrity

Count the relatives of ankylosaurs, both belong to the lower order of ankylosaurs, and the spiny ankylosaurs belong to the nodular dragon family.

The shape is equivalent to a body of armor with some long bone spurs.

It is roughly a row of spines on the left and right sides, and one or two rows of spines on the back, which has the meaning of a stegosaurus.

However, the fossils in the pit are only 2% complete, so there should only be this horn thorn.

"Huh? This is..."Qu Fei also found a fossil," it is a dinosaur fossil that was put in the sacrificial pit by the ancients. ”
