Chapter 185: It's All Half!
Yun Qianfeng thought that it would take a lot of strength to pull the bones out of the sand, but he didn't expect it to be so easy that he had to take two steps back, unloading the excessive amount of strength he used.
And after the dry bones were pulled out, Yun Qianfeng understood why it was so easy, because there was only half a dry bone.
The skeleton was all gone, from the pelvis down.
Yun Qianfeng hurriedly dug down with his saber, but after digging half a meter deep, he didn't see the other half of the dry bones.
This means that when the dry skeleton was moved here, it was half cut, and a small pit was specially dug to stand the half of the body here.
"Is it some kind of sacrificial ritual?"
Afifa thought about it.
Not to mention, it really looks like it, and it seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense.
At this moment, Ander pointed to the side of a large stone not far behind the corpse, and exclaimed:
"Look, there's a dead skeleton standing there!"
Yun Qianfeng raised his eyes and saw that like this dry bone, he was also standing there half-bodyed, his head drooping.
Several people hurried over, pulled out the dry bones as well, and dug down.
"It's also that there is no lower half, it seems that it may really be some form of sacrifice, and there is still one side there."
Not far from the side of this dry bone, there is a dry bone in the same posture, and when I walked over and looked, it was the same as the previous two.
"A lot, you see there are several more on the other side, and there are two clothes that are not rotten."
Ender shouted as he pointed into the distance.
If there are clothes, then there is information, Yun Qianfeng hurriedly ran over to check.
Next to the bones of the two clothes that had not yet oxidized and decayed, Yun Qianfeng saw the rifle with the muzzle stuck in the ground, and the ring representing the Stonemasons Guild on the fingers of the dry bones.
Fatina and the others also chased after them at this time, and when they saw Yun Qianfeng holding a ring in a daze, they asked:
"What's that?"
Yun Qianfeng looked at the ring and said:
"A token of an organization, these people are dedicated to finding and entering some strange secret realm, looking for something."
Afifa urgently:
"They're also here for the artifact?"
When Yun Qianfeng heard this, he smiled lightly:
"Don't worry, no, what they're looking for doesn't coincide with you; There's bad news though. ”
The three people next to them were stunned, their hearts were a little hanging, and they looked at Yun Qianfeng together.
Yun Qianfeng rubbed the ring of the Stonemason Society with his fingers, and said in a deep voice:
"The bad news is that it's not a sacrificial ritual, which means they're being killed here."
Ander thought of something and said busily:
"Halved?"
These dry bones, without exception, have no lower half of the body, and they look very much like a waist cut.
Yun Qianfeng was noncommittal, and hesitated:
"It looks like it, but the question is, where is the other half of the body?"
Fatina knew a lot, and she thought:
"Could it be that it was taken away as a sundial?"
Sundials are very ancient, and people used vertical shadows to calculate time.
And the oldest sundials are all made of human thigh bones.
Because even if there is a lot of difference in height, the difference in the length of the thigh bone is not very large, which can be regarded as a scale standard at that time.
Just like in traditional Chinese medicine, a few horizontal fingers were used as the scale standard.
Yun Qianfeng pointed to the ground in the stone formation and said:
"There's no light coming in here, how do you make a sundial?"
Several people are speculating on the possibilities, and thus on the dangers they may encounter.
However, there is no reasonable possibility.
But reality, which quickly gave them the answer.
Several people continued downhill towards the pit.
At this point, there is no need to climb to a high place to judge the height, because the slope is getting bigger and bigger, and you can already feel this change with your body.
As a few people walked, Fatina suddenly slanted as if she had stepped on cotton.
And the sand under her feet, which had been a little hard shell, suddenly rolled like boiling water.
The range of the sand churning was a circle at Fatina's feet.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Fatina's figure began to sink, and in two breaths, it was already up to her knees.
Ever since encountering those weird half-cut bones, Yun Qianfeng had been in a state of alertness.
This allows him to react as quickly as possible.
Almost the moment Fatina's figure fell, Yun Qianfeng's hands grabbed Fatina's bee waist, straddled the sitting, and with the power of the leg kick, he directly used the wrestling move to twist his head and throw Fatina sideways more than two meters away.
As Fatina was thrown out by Yun Qianfeng, they heard the sound of leather being torn.
Looking at Fatina who landed in the air, the sole of the leather boot on her right foot was gone, and looking at the state of the crack, it seemed that something was tearing off the sole of Fatina with great force.
Ender's reaction wasn't too slow, and as soon as Yun Qianfeng threw Fatina out, he fired a few shots at the tumbling sand.
After three shots, the sand quieted down and stopped wriggling.
Just when they thought that what was tearing Fatina below had been killed, the sand suddenly rolled under Ender's feet, who was holding a rifle in his hand.
Yun Qianfeng was going to help Fatina up.
The fall just now choked this woman enough.
This is also due to the softness of the Persian woman's body, coupled with the fact that the shock absorption in some areas is very good, otherwise they will be seriously injured.
However, halfway through the lift, Ander had a problem.
Yun Qianfeng's position away from Ender at this time was more than twice as far away from Fatina as he was from Fatina just now.
At the moment, his heart was anxious, his legs glared, like a predator of a beast, and he pounced on Ender, trying to knock him out of the danger zone.
Fatina, who had just been half-lifted up, fell directly to the ground again.
When Yun Qianfeng pounced, the sand had already reached Ander's knees, and Yun Qianfeng pounced on him, trying to use the inertia of his body to knock Ander out diagonally.
But Ender's feet seemed to be firmly locked under the sand, and he couldn't even move a bit.
On the contrary, it was because of his own vigorous pulling, which made his mouth let out a cry of extreme pain.
To make a man like Ande make such a voice, Yun Qianfeng believes that he must be in a hurry.
What made Yun Qianfeng even more admired was that under such danger and pain, Ander did not lose his mind, the rifle in his hand was not placed indiscriminately, but the muzzle was pointed down, the safety was opened, and he reached into the sand and "bang" to fight, and directly cleaned the magazine with a shuttle.
However, it didn't work, and I don't know if it was because he didn't hit it or for some other reason, his body was still grabbed and sunk into the sand.
It's a long story, but in fact, it took less than ten seconds from Yun Qianfeng to the time Ander finished firing a shuttle of bullets.
After Ender's bullet was fired, Yun Qianfeng also pounced on his head and turned over.
After entering this stone henge, their blood pressure was already elevated because of those echoes, and their emotions were unstable.
At this moment, Yun Qianfeng was so impulsive that he couldn't restrain himself.
That unusually annoyed emotion enveloped his body and mind.
Seeing that his face was ruthless, his body jumped up, and then he directly slammed his right hand into the tumbling sand under Ender's feet.
Immediately after, Yun Qianfeng seemed to have grabbed something, and it seemed that something had grabbed his hand.
I saw his body plunge into the tumbling sand quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Qianfeng's head and shoulders were already under the sand.
In another breath, it was already up to the waist.
When Fatina and Afifa saw this scene, the two women rushed over almost at the same time, and one of them dragged Yun Qianfeng's foot backwards like a tug-of-war
A voice rang in the hearts of both women:
"He can't die, if he dies, we'll be absolutely finished!"
