Chapter 15: Another Cave

We walked along the path paved with naturally formed crypts and spider corpses, and soon realized that something wasn't quite right around us.

"This is not the way we came in!" Ah Fang was the first to notice the problem.

"Look there!" Ai Qin raised his flashlight and pointed ahead.

A few of us were completely shocked by what we saw, and the five of us stood still, no one making a sound.

Because there is a huge stone platform in front of it, and on the stone platform lies the big snake that committed suicide after swallowing a giant spider, and it is lying there quietly, and the scales on its body glow with colorful light under the light of our flashlight.

This is indeed not the place where we were evacuated before, and we should have deviated from the direction of the original construction by now.

We didn't know what moth was waiting for us in front of us, so we had to move slowly towards the huge stone platform, for fear that the slightest noise would wake up the sleeping beast, even though we knew that it was already dead.

This cave is completely different from what we have seen before, it is surrounded by black stones, the natural formation of the dome of the cave, and the ground below is all paved with neat stone slabs. On top of several raised stone slabs, there are several huge stone tablets.

"Is this the tomb of the serpent?" Quanzi said in a daze.

"This should have been built a long time ago......" I glanced around, and felt that there seemed to be some truth in what Quanzi said.

The appearance of the word tomb suddenly made this space look unusually weird, and the fifth said on the side, "You two just watched too many movies, isn't this just a man-made building, what's the fuss." ”

"What a messy tomb, this is clearly a place for sacrifice, the stone platform in front of this should be an altar!" Ah Fang said on the side.

"Then tell me how this dead snake ran to the top of the big stone platform!" Jeonko asked.

Lao Wu pouted at the dead spider on the stone slab, "Why, aren't the porters crushed to death by it!" ”

There were indeed a lot of dead spiders under the half of the snake, and Quanzi and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Ah Fang, who was on the other side, pointed to a stone tablet with a flashlight and shouted to a few of us, "Come here, there is something here." ”

A few of us went up and looked at the stone tablet that Ah Fang was pointing to, and found that there was a huge stone carving on it, and the content of the stone carving was a combination of a spider and a snake, and the snake was wrapped around the huge spider, and the spider looked like he was enjoying it.

The stone carvings are lifelike, and the snakes and spiders are even more vivid.

Lao Wu walked closer and looked at it, shook his head very depressedly, and said, "It's been a few years, how can there be such a thing here?" ”

"Could it be that someone here was there many years ago?" Jeonko looked at his surroundings and said.

"Nonsense!" I couldn't help but raise the bar with Quanzi and said, "No one appeared, could it be that this stone sculpture was carved by aliens?" ”

"But how can there be people here, and have the leisure to carve such murals here?" Jeonko continued to wonder.

"That's what I thought." I guessed, "I guess part of this cave is connected to the outside, and a long time ago, a stonemason ventured into this cave and happened to discover the adultery of snakes and spiders in this cave, and then carved their stories here to warn the world not to mess around." ”

"Dezi, you can pull it down, don't talk around here, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" Ah Fang laughed at me.

Said Quanzi laughed, "Dezi's idea is very in line with life, but it also makes sense!" ”

Ai Qin looked at the stone wall at this time, and suddenly shouted to Ah Fang, "Sister Ah Fang, come and see, there is another line here with the same words as before." ”

Ah Fang stepped forward and looked at it, and explained to us, "Ten thousand life stones, bless ten thousand lives, blood sacrifice ten thousand souls to get eternal life." ”

We all went up and found that there was a line of words next to this huge mural, and I saw a few lines of words like ghost drawings, and we didn't know what was written!

"Oh my God, such a delicate little seal, this is a trace of the Qin and Han dynasties!" Ah Fang said in disbelief.

"Qin and Han periods?"

"At least 1,800 years up!" Ah Fang said.

"What the hell is the Wansheng Stone? Is that the name of this snake? I asked curiously.

"Hell knows what kind of bird thing it is!" Quan Zi said dissatisfiedly, "Returning blood to sacrifice all spirits, the gods who need to sacrifice with blood since ancient times are not a good thing!" ”

"You can't say that!" Ah Fang replied, "In ancient times, people sacrificed to the gods with blood! ”

"So, this is another sacrificial altar?" I said.

"Tokuko is right. Along the way, have you noticed that there are many traces of human activity in this cave from a long time ago, and I guess it is estimated that a long time ago, people, snakes, and spiders were very likely to live in peace here......" Aichen analyzed.

"There is also a possibility that the spiders and snakes here are very likely to have been domesticated by people who came before them." Ah Fang guessed.

"What do you do with domesticating them?"

"Guarding this place, or the meteorite we took from the past!" Ah Fang boldly speculated.

"So the stone that Lao Wu put in his backpack before was the Wansheng Stone?" Quanzi said with a look of surprise.

"Please, comrades, your energy is really infinitely strong, I'm hungry and thirsty, can we get out of here first and find a relatively safe place to say these words!" The fifth child didn't have much interest in that.

A few of us talked a lot about it, but no one could convince anyone. Since I couldn't find an exit, I had to search the surroundings again.

Sure enough, as Ai Qin said, we found a lot of traces of human activity around this cave, although many of the utensils have rotted, but some of the remaining porcelain pots are still intact in the grooves of some stone walls.

At this time, I caught a glimpse of Lao Wu prying a black thing on a stone wall with a knife.

"What are you doing here?" I walked over and asked.

"It looks like another meteorite!" The old five replied without replying, "I'll take it back to study and see if these mutated spiders and snakes will have anything to do with its radiation!" ”

Lao Wu knocked a slapped thing off, and then he quickly loaded it into his backpack.

"Need help?" I asked.

"No!" The fifth refused.

At this time, Quanzi also saw that Lao Wu had put something in his backpack, so he hurriedly ran over, grabbed Lao Wu and asked, "What did you put it, is it Wansheng Stone?" ”

Lao Wu reluctantly opened his backpack and took out a stone that glowed yellow under the flashlight, "If you are a big-headed ghost, I think this stone is a little different, take it back to study it!" ”

Ah Fang interrupted at this time, "Okay, you two, the fifth likes to study stones, and you two don't know, don't be bothered by this Wansheng Stone." Let me tell you, the thinking of the ancients is completely different from the thinking of our people now, they had no concept of meteorites at that time, anyway, as long as it came from the sky, it was a god. I estimate that a meteorite fell in this place a long time ago, and this place became the place where the gods came, and it must be a treasure land, so what we saw along the way can be explained. ”

"Oh, after listening to Mr. Fang's words, I immediately solved a lot of confusion in my heart, amazing, amazing!" I gave a thumbs up to Fong.

Quan Zi was not polite, and said bluntly, "I think the fifth child has something to hide from us anyway, and the god is mysterious!" ”

Lao Wu raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers, "Heaven and earth conscience, I swear......"

I hurriedly persuaded, "Okay, okay, you two are still more serious!" ”

I pulled Quanzi aside and whispered, "Actually, I have the same in my heart, but the level of the fifth child is different from ours, and it's not normal to hide something from us!" ”

Ah Fang heard my words, "Dezi, what kind of persuasion are you, it's completely adding fuel to the fire!" ”

At this time, Ai Qin suddenly shouted on the side: "Hurry up, this hole is about to collapse!" We were all shocked when such a sentence came coldly. Lao Wu used his wolf eyes to shine on the mountain wall, only to see a big hole in the middle of the mountain wall unknowingly.

This is indeed not the previous cave, but we walked along the previous traces, and we can't go wrong, how did we get here?

"Damn, the two of them pulled a few of us on their backs when they were dying, which is so unkind." Quanzi cursed as he ran, we don't have the heart to deal with these ancient human relics now, and if we don't run, we will have to be buried alive.

The five of them evacuated with lightning speed, and finally returned to the vicinity of our field vehicle, only to find another corpse next to it, and from the blurred marks of flesh and blood all over his body, it can be inferred that the rats still did not spare them.

"What the hell, we seem to be lost!" I looked around, and the environment was pretty much the same.

"Calm down!" The fifth man ordered, "The wind and waves have come, so that the boat will not capsize on the way back." ”

Ah Fang suddenly said at this time, "There is wind, follow me." ”

At this time, Ah Fang closed her eyes, like a witch who casts a spell, and closed her eyes after walking a few steps, and we followed her to stop and go, and it was not easy to disturb her.

Finally she stopped, and our flashlight shone into the huge dark river in front of her.

"It's wonderful!" Jeonko said.

Ah Fang knew that Quanzi was laughing at him, so he didn't answer, and said, "It's always a good thing to see the dark river, isn't it much easier to find the way next!" ”

The fifth said in the back, "Yes, the next step is indeed much easier, you see! ”

We followed the flashlight of Lao Wu's flashlight, and saw rows of messy footprints derived from the river to the other end, this place is not the place where we fought the big snake before, but where is it!
