Our jaws almost dropped at the strange sight in front of us.

"This, this, what do you mean?" I asked.

A few of them didn't understand it.

At this time, the fifth child was unusually calm, he said, "It is blocking our way with its corpse." ”

"Could it be that there are any monsters up ahead?" Ah Fang asked in disbelief.

"Anyway, this tunnel is weird, I think our mission can be over, let's get out as soon as possible!" Ai Qin chimed in.

"This tunnel will continue to be constructed, so we have to investigate these hidden dangers to the end!" Lao Wu said, "Besides, we haven't found all the bodies of the workers before, since there is still space ahead, we should look for them again." ”

Jeonko replied, "What exactly is our mission?" Will it help find the corpses of these workers, or will it deal with these mutated animals? ”

Ah Fang gave him a blank look and said, "What do you say our mission is, we are a search team, of course we are to help find these missing workers!" ”

I knew in my heart that our search team was definitely different from other search teams, and that we would not have been able to do so if it weren't for the places and disasters that could be explained by extraordinary reason. That being the case, it is necessary to keep going.

We sorted out our equipment, weapons and ammunition, and by this time there was no need for Aichen to stay in the car, and the five of us decided to go ahead and grope together.

Lao Wu beckoned to us and said, "There may be spiders ahead, these guys are elusive, everyone must pay attention to the top of their heads." ”

My fifth child and I explored the road in front, the two women were in the middle, and after the whole child was broken, the functional car was left by us at the location of the hole to facilitate evacuation in case of emergency.

We rounded the position occupied by the serpent, and because of its huge body we had to pass by it, and when we approached it, the smell of its body was no longer the strong fishy smell it had before, but a fresh fragrance.

"What does it smell like?" Ah Fang was the first to notice.

"Yes, it smells good!" Aichen also smelled it.

At this time, Quanzi leaned close to the snake body and sniffed, "This guy died and emitted a strange fragrance, it's weird!" ”

Lao Wu said to us calmly, "Don't smell it there, aren't you afraid that this is the poisonous gas it releases?" ”

A few of us subconsciously pinched our noses, and scolded the fifth child in our hearts for why we didn't say it earlier.

I've got a new wolf's eye flashlight in my hand, and this guy with a new battery has really good beam penetration. After stepping on the corpse of the giant snake, a huge karst crypt appeared not far ahead, and under the light of a white flashlight, I saw a mysterious high platform appear in the depths of the cave.

"Look, everybody, what's that?" I asked, pointing to the high platform in front of me.

"I can't imagine that there is really a hole in this cave, is this the legendary Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave?" Quanzi said unashamedly.

"Flower you big-headed ghost!" Ah Fang didn't give Quanzi face at all, she took a few steps forward with a flashlight, and there were a few crisp "creaks" under her feet. We hurriedly took a photo, and found that the high platform was surrounded by white animal bones.

"Is this a sacrificial altar?" Ah Fang said in disbelief.

I glanced at the piles of bones on the ground, and saw that there were many human bones among them, but they were scattered and no longer humanoid.

The fifth elder strode forward, not afraid of the surrounding environment, he went to the high platform and shone around with a flashlight, shouting to us, "Come here, what are you doing in a daze!" ”

I'm very strange about the old five's familiarity, how does this guy look like a veteran, didn't he do serious business before? I was in a hurry in my heart, how could I bury my comrades like this! Thinking in their hearts, a few people had already arrived at the footing position under this high platform, and found that this side was full of several huge bluestone slabs, and the bluestone slabs were all stone carving reliefs.

I looked closely, and there were so many human beings carved on this relief, kneeling down reverently to this tower, and on the tower sat a black thing.

Another bluestone slab depicts the serpent devouring an elephant, and a wizard next to it seems to be doing it.

"What does that mean?" I was puzzled and asked, "Didn't the ancients say that greed is not enough to swallow elephants?" Is it from here? ”

Ai Qin glanced at the cave we entered and said, "But the snake is still there, which means that it is still alive after swallowing the elephant." ”

Ah Fang came over and looked at it and said, "You two are really elm heads, looking at the relief murals depicted by these ancients, you have to zoom in and imagine from the perspective of an artist!" ”

"And what do you mean by that?" I humbly asked.

"This painting shows that this snake is very powerful and has the power to swallow the sky!" Ah Fang said, "What do you think these cotton-like representatives represent above? ”

"What?" I asked.

"Oh, stupid you, on behalf of the clouds, what did the clouds represent in the past, on behalf of the sky!" Fong explained.

"And does this have anything to do with elephants?"

"The elephant represents the sky, the sky is a very illusory thing, and this stone carving master can't write a heavenly character here!" Ah Fang said.

"Well, Sister Afang is really a genius, I understand it all as soon as I say it!" Ai Qin's sycophant is just right, and Ah Fang is very useful.

I nodded silently, and then Quanzi on the side shouted, "Ah Fang genius, then you come over and help me analyze what this painting illustrates?" ”

A few of us walked over to see another mural, and we saw a huge spider weaving a huge web with many animals and humans dancing on it.

"It's not Mr. Fang's turn to come here, Master De, I'll tell you about it!" I volunteered.

"Please!" Quanzi replied.

"This is to tell us that all the creatures here are under the control of this spider, and no one can escape its control! Isn't that right, Mr. Afang! I asked.

Ah Fang glanced at the mural, nodded and said, "Dezi can also understand it in this way, but it does not rule out another analysis. ”

"What?" I asked, puzzled.

"You see that these creatures and all things are dancing with their teeth and claws, and they seem to be dancing with demons, but in fact they should express that they are celebrating something, and you see that these people are not wrapped in cobwebs, which means that they are free, and the free bodies are dancing with their hands and feet, and when did the ancients dance? When you're happy, right. Ah Fang glanced at the big spider again, "Now, I found it, you see something sitting on this spider." ”

I stared at it carefully, and how this thing was exactly the same thing as the thing on the previous mural where everyone was kneeling, and it was also a small black thing that could not be seen.

At this time, Lao Wu shouted to us on the other side, "I said a few teachers, now is not the time to study these murals, we still have business to do!" ”

Ai Qin said, "Fifth brother, we call ourselves knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents, and we finally have a chance to understand these spiders and big snakes. ”

Lao Wu sat on the stone platform at this time and said, "These murals can't explain the origin of these spiders and big snakes, they can only prove that these two guys have existed many, many years ago." ”

"At least many, many years ago, humans were able to live in peace with them!" ”

"What the hell is this little black thing on it?" Quan Zi asked puzzledly, "I see that almost every mural has this thing, and this altar is also used to worship it." ”

We collectively looked up and saw that there was nothing left on the platform.

Lao Wu stopped talking, smiled lightly and said, "That's what scientists and archaeologists want to study, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"It doesn't matter what!" Jeonko retorted, "I think these spiders and this snake are so big because of this black box. ”

"That's easy to explain!" I quipped, "This black box is nothing else, it's a bottle box, and it grows fast when you drink milk!" ”

"Then why don't you say it's a feed box!" Fong replied.

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Lao Wu stood up and said to us, "Let's scatter a few people and search in four directions, and it is too far away to take care of it, and see what other things and clues are around." ”

Ai Qin and I were in a group, and the rest of the people dispersed in each of the three directions.

Aichen and I made our way to the easternmost clearing, creaking on the bones on the ground all the way.

"Looks like these are the trophies of those spiders and those two snakes!" Ai Qin looked around and said.

"Hmph, you said that this little black box is gone, why are these guys still guarding here?" I said.

"You think they're the guardians of this altar, but I think so too." Aichen said after me.

"It's hard to make sense other than that!" I replied.

"There's one thing I find weird!" Ai Qin said in a low voice at this time, "Brother Dezi, do you think that the fifth brother is too calm about everything. ”

"It's a little bit!" I replied, "But he's more mature than we are, and he's not fussy about anything, so maybe he doesn't think it's worth his surprise." ”

Ai Qin suddenly grabbed me and whispered, "I think he should have been to this place before!" ”

"Ahh I was taken aback by her words.

"Shh She made a silent motion, "It's just my guess!" ”

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of a flash of green light in my peripheral vision, and hurriedly protected Ai Qin behind me and shouted, "What is it? ”

Aichen was taken aback by me, "What do you see?" ”

"A pair of eyes!" I replied.

"Isn't it phosphorus fire?" Ai Qin replied.

"Not like that!"

"There it is!" Ai Qin also saw it, and I saw it at the same time, but the flashlight beam didn't hit it, "There's a situation here!" I shouted.

He beckoned Ai Qin to chase after him, and those eyes disappeared quickly, dissipating into the depths of the Forest of Bones in an instant.
