Chapter 173: Poisonous Scorpion
"This is the Han Dynasty, people's clothing has changed a lot, you see here is an obvious Hanfu characteristic. People started to think about cracking it, and here and here, descriptions of the ship began to appear, which meant that these people began to suspect that this thing wasn't sent by the gods...," Tasha Su said.
"No, no, no!" I suddenly remembered a big flaw, this region of Mongolia was not the world of the Han people at all in the earliest days, but a place inhabited by ethnic minorities, and in the earlier dynasties, it was a wild land, how could there be an ancient civilization of the Han Dynasty?
I said my puzzlement, at this time Ah Fang, Ai Qin, and Anda who woke up also came over, and some other Russian mercenaries who woke up could not understand Chinese, so they had to continue to pretend to sleep on the ground.
Tasha Su shook her head, "Actually, I also thought of it, but these murals can't deceive people, from the Qin Dynasty to the Republic of China, these painting styles, brushwork, and calligraphy are all real." ”
Ah Fang's research momentum at this moment was completely stimulated, she pointed to one of the murals and said, "It seems that the legend is true, you see that the person on horseback should be Genghis Khan, he should really order the blockade of this place, you see this mural during the Yuan Dynasty, and it is unfinished." ”
"That's right, the murals of the Ming Dynasty next to it began to be accompanied by words, 'The stone outside the sky can promote longevity, old but not stiff, only the way of eternal life', 'The obscene stone is evil, abandon it, and you can't keep it'." Ai Qin said.
"Well, even if we know this, it doesn't really mean anything to us, we don't want to know what happened in the past, we are anxious to know what to do next?" Anda said calmly on the side.
At this time, Quanzi finally woke up, and he lay on a rock and shouted at me, "Dezi, what the hell are you doing over there?" ”
I waved at him, and was coldly pulled back to reality by Ander's words, and the excitement just now disappeared, as she said, we are out of this pit, and what to do next is really a big question.
"As for the next move, I think this mural has already given us the answer!" Tasha Su said mysteriously.
"What answer?" I asked.
"Then you have to promise me that you must take me with you next!" Tasha Su said.
I pointed to Sanjisu, who was still lying on the stretcher, "Look at your uncle's half-dead appearance, are you sure you want to participate in our operation next?" ”
"His life and death are his own choices, and I respect his choices. I can choose my life and death. Besides, you went out and left me, who provided you with backup, funds, weapons...? ”
"I think what this girl said makes sense, we do lack a reliable gold owner, and even if we find the Wansheng Stone for a few of us, she will take it if she likes it." Jeonko interjected from behind.
Jeonko's words are not rough, but I still want to find out what Tasha Su's so-called mural is about the next move?
I asked, "What do you see in the fresco, dear Miss Tasha?" ”
"So you promised me to be part of your operation?" Tasha Su said.
"Then it depends on how valuable you say the hidden value of this mural is?" Ah Fang said calmly.
"You see the most recent mural on the very edge, it should be left after the recent era, some of the murals are very rough carving, and there are vague traces of chalk depictions, which shows that the construction of the mural has encountered great obstacles and has not been completed in the end." Tasha Su said, pointing to the last mural.
"I have also carefully studied the content of this mural, and there is nothing special about it, that is, it further describes the external characteristics of alien creatures, and besides, we have all seen their real bodies, I don't think there is any fuss!" Ah Fang said.
"Definitely!" Tasha Su said.
"Look at it, what's here?" Tasha Su pointed to a dark spot in the corner and said, "Our seniors helped me show the way. ”
"Just a map?" Ai Qin said with some exaggeration, "This, what's the secret?" ”
I glanced at the spot and saw a drawing resembling a straw hat appear in the corner.
At this time, he and Quanzi looked at each other, and it turned out that the original picture of Wang Haiyan's picture was here! That is to say, the final landing point of the Wansheng Stone must be somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
In other words, since Wanshengshi likes to drill holes so much, then in our current understanding, she will only go to one place, and that is the deepest trench on earth, the Mariana Trench.
This reminds me of the picture I saw in the core module before, and the content in the mirror image is also the depths of the ocean, and it seems to be the same as if it were eight or nine.
"Thank you, Miss Tasha, for your advice, I don't think we need you any more!" I said.
Tasha Su got up anxiously and said, "Don't, it's all here, but you won't let me say it, you evil spirit!" ”
Quanzi quipped, "The title of harming people is worthy of virtue!" ”
At this time, I only heard the strange sound of "cooing" coming from the deepest pit, and I suddenly remembered the scene of our group fleeing in embarrassment before falling asleep:
I was rather depressed, sitting on a thick layer of soot, and the black dust that rose up made it difficult for me to breathe. I covered my mouth and nose and couldn't help sighing, this hopeful adventure, but I didn't expect that in the end, the bamboo basket was empty.
Whenever I get nothing, I'm very pessimistic. Or maybe what are we after? If aliens really want to attack Earth, how can we fight with a few of our weak bodies?
I don't have that kind of idea of personal heroism, and I hate personal heroism since I was a child, including the education in the training camp. On a deeper level, I don't want to be a hero!
Ah Fang was also worried about the face opposite me, I knew what she was thinking! When a face that is seven points similar to you suddenly appears in front of you, it is inevitable that you will not think much about it! But the strange thing is that the four of us are very tacit and never ask each other about their family situation!
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt cold all over, and I suddenly thought of the epaulettes that I had turned out when I was very young, and the snakes I had seen before, those caves... Oh, my God! Don't? No, no, no, I quickly dispelled my cranky thoughts, maybe I was crazy, and I had a memory bias.
At this time, Quanzi took a few bottles of water from the hands of the mercenaries, he handed me one and said, "This is not a place to stay for a long time, don't forget that there is also a sheep scorpion king, and the monster with high-voltage electricity in the spaceship may come out at any time." ”
I nodded and asked Quanzidao, "What's next?" ”
Quanzi shook his head, "Take one step at a time, I think it's imperative that we go back to Beicheng first!" ”
"Back to the North City?"
"It's all messed up, haven't you noticed?" Jeonko said.
"How?" I asked.
"It doesn't feel right! It is not normal for various forces to suddenly start a scuffle. In the past, once a scuffle began in the Middle East, there would definitely be something like that. Quanzi said.
"Are you worried about the Chen family?" I asked, a little surprised.
"I'm worried about us!" Jeonko said.
"If the Chen family is finished, won't we be free?" I wondered.
Quan Zi shook his head, "Dezi, don't deceive yourself, if the Chen family is gone, I'm afraid the four of us will be useless!" ”
Tasha Su walked up to me, and she shouted at us, "My people are ready to go." ”
I replied, "Okay! "Greet Ai Qin, Ah Fang, they are ready to retreat!
The deep soot seriously affected the speed of our ascent, and we headed in the direction we came, and Tasha Su found two strong mercenaries to open the way in front, but the speed was still turtle speed.
This, combined with the interference of the surrounding ores of the ship, caused many electronic components to malfunction, so that we did not dare to get too far away.
Tasha Su and Anda walked ahead of Ah Fong and me, and they spoke in Russian from time to time.
I turned back to Ai Qin behind me and whispered, "Is Ah Fang okay?" ”
Ai Qin shook his head, "Not so good! ”
"Ouch!" The big man leading the way in front of him screamed, and then the whole person fell to the ground, I hurriedly went up to support him, only to see that his face was pale, his mouth was gurgling and only foaming, and he died in less than ten seconds.
This really scared us, after all, we are outnumbered, the light is abundant, and he is at the front of the group, we don't see him suffer any attacks at all, could it be that there are really ghosts in this pit.
"Take off his helmet!" Fong said to me from behind.
I unbuckled his helmet buckle and took it off, and Ah Fang took a look at it with a wolf's eye and said, "You see, there is a wound behind his ear, he must have been bitten by something!" ”
"Tokuko, be careful!" Anda reminded from behind.
I watched as a black shadow burst out of the depths of his neck, and with a subconscious wave of my hand, a huge black scorpion was exposed in front of our eyes.
"Damn, the sheep scorpion is fake, this guy is real!" Jeonko said. "Everyone remember to use a hard guy, such a long scorpion can't be stepped on with the sole plate."
I glanced at the poisonous overlord who was facing us on the ground, the longest scorpion was rarely more than 15 centimeters, but this guy had to be at least a foot straight, and it was the same color as this black soot, and almost no one could find it in such conditions.
With a "horn", the scorpion was shot before it could hide in the soot, and I saw that it was none other than the weak Tassasu who had been weak before.
"Don't be stunned, get out of here, scorpions are not lone rangers, they are gregarious!" Ah Fang said hello, and the overall speed of the team finally increased.
