Ever since everyone came to this underground world from the platform, after going through all kinds of experiences, and seeing the countless nameless dry bones in the labyrinth, Han Daring had a faint guess that the giant earthworms in the black soil and the maze of the city wall were more like the execution ground used to execute the people who committed major crimes!

The only passage leading to the tower is a passage that can only be entered and exited, and there are many white bones stuck in it, and there is not a single wisp around these people, and they are all naked, as if they do not want to be tortured by the hypnotic wind in the labyrinth, desperately rushing into the mecca, trying to enter the tower to escape, but in the end they are stuck in the meadow and die.

This also confirms Han Da'er's guess from the side.

In the end, when everyone came to the upper floor of the tower and saw the golden murals in the room, Han Daring was even more sure that his guess was correct!

At this time, everyone heard the conversation between Han Da'er and Mei Ruohong, and couldn't help but ask questions.

Han Daring said:

"That's right! The labyrinth here, coupled with the black earth where giant earthworms lurk, are all execution grounds used to execute criminals, but unlike our execution grounds where we kill or shoot, the punishment here is more cruel and unkind!

Han Daring pointed to the mural and continued:

"This mural seems to be telling a story about gods and monsters, but it is actually describing the execution process!"

Pointing to the soldier-like figure on the mural, he said:

"These soldiers, armed with spears, escorted a group of naked people to a high bridge, and then threw everyone off the bridge, and under the bridge were dozens of dragons, waiting to devour the people who fell!

I think the bridge in the mural is the broken chain bridge that I first saw on the platform, and the dragon referred to in the mural should be those giant earthworms in the black soil!

So in the mural, the dragon is not covered by the water with curved wavy lines, but by straight lines representing the black earth.

The black soil is extremely soft because the giant earthworms have been drilling for a long time. Even if a person thrown from the bridge does not die, as soon as he falls to the ground, he will immediately alarm the giant earthworms lurking underground, and the earthworms will break through the soil and devour the people who fell on the black soil. ”

Chen Feiyang suddenly realized and said:

"I see......"

Then, pointing to the mural of a giant playing a flute, he said:

"The flute in the hand of this giant is the tower where we are. The lower half of the giant's body is not legs, but a cirrus cloud holding its tail, and the giant is just a metaphor for the wind. The wind giant plays the flute against a flower with a mess of petals.

It is like the wind blowing into the tower, forming a strange flute sound, blowing on the walls of the labyrinth, and under the reflection of countless pits, it produces a silent horror hypnosis.

The figures with painful expressions next to them, falling to the ground and holding their heads, are people who have fallen into hypnotic fear. And the flowers that turn into clouds and blow towards this group of people are the boulder labyrinth! ”

Han Da'er nodded and said:

"That's right! In ancient times, those soldiers escorted the prisoners, and the other side of the rope bridge entered the tower, and then after getting off the tower, let the prisoners enter the only passage in front of the tower, and go to the labyrinth on their own.

After these people enter the mezzanine, due to the layered lines in the mezzanine, they will automatically move forward when they move slightly, but they can't go back if they want to. So some people who want to get back are stuck directly in the mezzanine.

After entering the labyrinth, whenever the wind blows, those frequencies that are higher than the range received by the human ear silently enter the ears to hypnotize the human brain, reminding people of the most terrifying experience of their lives, and it feels extremely real!

Some people will be directly frightened to death by the terrifying scene, and those who are not dead, because of the repeated receipt of these terrifying signals, will eventually go insane, and even have been trapped in the horror illusion and unable to get out!

This is also the reason why that person committed suicide by drinking bullets not far from the dry bones of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Mei Ruohong was looking at other murals, and at this time he also turned his head to the crowd:

"I think that's more than that! You see......"

She pointed to the gold mural on the wall and said:

"In addition to these two punishments, there are also waterboarding and burning at the stake!"

The crowd followed her and saw a golden mural of a giant holding some curved lines in both hands, which were supposed to represent water or some kind of liquid. There were dozens of humanoids, in this patterned liquid, turned into white bone skeletons!

Mei Ruohong Road:

"The liquid in the giant's hand may represent an acid pool, or an extremely corrosive liquid, if we encounter such a pool, we must avoid it!"

Another painting is better understood, with a raised mountain pass, into which several people are pushed, some of them on flames. Others fall into a cloud of curved dotted lines and dissipate into a puff of smoke.

Han Daring said:

"Looking at this mural, it looks like a person being pushed into a volcanic crater, is there an active volcano in this underground world?"

Mei Ruohong Road:

"There is this possibility, I know that there are indeed active volcanoes under the sea, and sometimes submarine volcanoes erupt, and they can cause tsunamis, underground volcanoes, I don't think anyone has ever seen them!"

Han Daring said:

"The black soil where the giant earthworm is located represents the corpse soil, the labyrinth tower represents the wind, plus the water and fire on the mural, earth, wind, water, and fire are the four elements of ancient times!"

Mei Ruohong Road:

"Maybe this is not an execution ground, but a sacrificial ground!"

"The sacrificial ground?"

Chen Feiyang asked rhetorically.

Mei Ruohong Road:

"The ancients admired these four elements, and believed that everything in time was made up of the four elements, so I think that this can be a special kind of sacrifice, and those who are sent in may indeed be punished criminals, but they may also be sacrifices used for sacrifice!"

Chen Feiyang said:

"These ancient people are so cruel too!"

Mei Ruohong Road:

"Sacrifice is the way for the ancients to express their reverence for the gods, Asterk and Maya have the act of digging out the heart with living people, we often sacrifice living people in the Xia and Shang periods in ancient times, this is not surprising!"

Chen Feiyang took a sip and said:

"I'm glad I wasn't born at that time!"

Han Daring said:

"At that time, most of the sacrifices were made by slaves and criminals, and of course there were some tribes who would choose the holiest people of the tribe as living sacrifices!"

At this time, Han Da'er was looking at a mural in the middle.

In the center of the mural of the ancient city of the endless country on the ground, there is a hole in the floor, if it is according to Wang Weihan's words, it is the Yuanqiao fairy mirror. At the edge of the cavity is a gold ring, and there is a gold wire on the gold circle, which leads directly to the wall of the room.

The gold wire runs straight upwards from the junction of the wall and the floor. All the way to the mural in the middle of the wall.

On this mural is a huge Yuan Circle, with three slightly smaller Yuan Circles in the middle, which are the emblems of the Sanyang Sect. Among the three zigzag gold circles, one of them is humanoid, and the other two are two monsters, and the monsters have raised their forearms, like two sharp blades, with a slight hook, and the whole looks extremely strange.

Han Daring looked at it for a while, and he didn't understand the meaning. He and Mei Ruohong studied on the side, and Ye Ling also came over to listen to the discussion between the two. Wang Weihan looked at the stone steps by the wall, wanting to hurry to the top of the tower.

At this time, everyone heard a clanging sound, and when they looked back, it was Fan Tong who was using a short shovel to pry these gold murals.

Wang Weihan hurriedly said:

"Don't! Such a beautiful mural, you are too bad to spoil things! ”

Fan Tong pretended not to hear, and still took care of himself. But he chiseled for a long time, only to pry off a small piece of a few thin pieces of gold, only then did he realize that the gold murals embedded in the wall were far from the small gold cakes embedded in the walls below, these gold murals were very thick, and they could not be pried down with the tools in their hands, even if they were pried down, such a large piece of gold could not be taken away at all.

At this moment, the flashlight flickered, and he saw the light flashing on the mural, and the eyes of the giant and the evil dragon, but they were originally inlaid with red and blue crystals, so he asked:

"Are all the stone crystals embedded in this mural?"

But no one answered, and when he saw that they did not answer, he turned to pry the spars with a shovel. After wasting half a day's strength, Fan Tong finally pried off a few pieces of red spars, took them in his hand and took a look, only to see that these spars were red, red as pigeon blood, and he was overjoyed when he landed, this turned out to be a few pieces of excellent quality pigeon blood rubies!

Once the headquarters caught a group of robbers of the jewelry silver building, at that time there were a few pieces of rubies inlaid in the jewelry, so that he was unforgettable, but later, these jewels were missing more than half, when the owner came to claim the jewelry, the official only presumed that it was sold by the bandits and squandered, and its whereabouts were unknown, but in fact, it was taken by the senior officials of the headquarters for their own.

Although Fan Tong was greedy, these treasures could not reach him, but he remembered the appearance of rubies, and he took a flashlight to take a photo, and recognized at a glance that these pieces in his hand were all good rubies.

Just as he was overjoyed with the gem, everyone had already moved up the stone steps and walked towards the top! But no one saw it, someone secretly picked up the small piece of gold on the ground, which Fan Tong pried off.

Although the tower covered with gold murals was dark, it was very wide, the room was seventeen or eighteen meters high, and the stone steps spiraling up the wall were very long, and everyone walked for a while to reach the top of the tower.

Everyone had been in the dim environment of the mural room on the lower floor for a long time, and when they came to the upper floor, their eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw that the upper floor was a ball star stone room slightly smaller than the mural room, and there was a doorway on both sides of the stone room, and outside the doorway was a stone platform three or four meters wide. Outside light shines through the doorway, illuminating the spherical interior very brightly.

There are no murals in this star room, and there is no carved fairy urn, but there is a translucent black spar in the middle. The hedron is pitch black and bright, more than half a person high, I don't know if it's crystal or some other material, but there is nothing else in the room.

Han Daring walked out of the doorway to the platform outside, and saw that a few meters below the platform was a thick cloud and heavy fog, it turned out that the tower had passed through the clouds, and the top of the tower stood above the clouds.

At this time, two stone pillars stood on the platform, each with a very thick iron chain hanging on the stone pillar, and many slightly thinner iron chains hanging on the edge. I had seen this place on the head of the city when the wind blew away. The chain was supposed to be connected to the platform, forming a rope bridge over the clouds.

Looking into the distance, at the end of the clouds is the cliff platform where everyone stood when they first came. Looking down at a sea of clouds, you can't get into the stalagmite spar and phosphorescent light above your head, and it's really like being in the sky.

Mei Ruohong and Ye Ling stood beside him, and when they saw such a strange scene, they suddenly felt relaxed and happy, but this strange scene was not the Heavenly Palace, but underground, and after looking at it for a long time, it couldn't help but feel a little weird.

Chen Feiyang leaned over to inspect the strange black spar indoors, Li Huan held the big man and let the big man sit at the base of the wall, while he stared at the big man with good eyes.

There are no railings on these two stone platforms, if the big man suddenly makes a difficulty, pounces over and stretches out his hand to push, the person standing on the platform will definitely fall from the sky and fall into the maze to pieces, so Li Huan must always keep an eye on it and dare not relax.

At this time, Fan Tong also climbed to the top floor slowly, his clothes and pants pockets were full of gold, and a lot of rubies were stuffed, and finally he couldn't fit it, and he was still holding a dragon's eye sized ruby in his hand.

As soon as he walked to the upper floor, he immediately found the black spar in the center of the stone room, and hurriedly ran over and squatted next to Chen Feiyang, observed by himself, and said in his mouth:

"What kind of baby? Gemstones? Or crystals? ”

Chen Feiyang said:

"How can I look like glass?"

At this time, Wang Weihan stood on the platform on the other side of the stone chamber and shouted:

"You've all come and have a look!"

When Han Dada'er and the others heard this, they all hurried to the platform on the other side.

I saw that there were also two stone pillars standing on the edge of the platform, and there were chains hanging on the stone pillars, in addition to the thick chains with the thickness of two human arms, there were many slightly thinner chains and thick ropes together, and there were thick wooden planks laid on them, but it was an intact ropeway bridge, and the ropeway bridge stretched all the way to a stone building that protruded from the clouds on the other side in the distance.

However, because the distance is too far and the iron cable is heavy, the entire ropeway bridge is in a downward arc, and a large part of it is sunk in the clouds below.

Han Da'er shook the iron cable vigorously, let him use other strength, and the heavy iron cable bridge only shook slightly. He found that the iron cable was very strong, and he should be able to go directly to the other side of the city wall through the rope bridge, but he didn't know if the wooden planks on the bridge could still bear the weight of everyone after thousands of years.

Wang Weihan said:

"Let's not delay, let's hurry up and cross the bridge and climb over the city wall, I'm afraid that the gang in front of us has already found the ancient city!"

Han Daring said:

"Not necessarily!"

Wang Weihan was puzzled and was about to ask.

Chen Feiyang hurriedly said:

"The gang in front of them is dead and fleeing, and it is estimated that there are only two and a half left, and they must not have entered the tower, and they have not come to this ropeway bridge, maybe they have already been trapped in the labyrinth below!"

Wang Weihan said:

"How so?"

Chen Feiyang said:

"I don't know what to do! If this group of people entered the tower, could they spare all that gold? Those murals have long been chiseled off, and this benevolent brother can still fill his trouser pockets? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Fan Tong, who was squatting behind him to look at the spar.

At this moment, Li Huan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said:

"Han Tou'er! Look over there! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the cliff platform when everyone first came.

In the doorway on the platform between them, a group of people suddenly came out, looking from a distance, it seemed that they were all loaded with guns, and they didn't know what it was.

The group of people was amazed by the underground world in front of them, and they didn't notice that Han Da'er and the others on the top of the tall tower in the distance.

Fan Tong said in a low voice:

"Who are these guys? Why are they all armed with them? There are still so many people? ”

Han Daring looked at the group of people, snorted, his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were full of hostility, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile, as if something had been expected......
