The Horn of War Chapter 726 Stone Carving

(The power has been out for two days, and the call finally came on the eve of the National Day, sorry.) ）

Bing's injuries were healed quickly, and the injuries from the beatings were nothing to mention for the injuries he had suffered before, but Jora was still very uncomfortable, and this discomfort became more and more serious, so that she basically did not participate in the next archaeological work, and kept lying in the tent to rest.

The work of the archaeological team was slow, and there were no major discoveries in these two days. Moreover, for those who can explore the ancient tombs, they have not been able to detect the specific size and location of the ancient tombs, so they can only dig down according to the loose soil that was dug up before, and continue to expand the excavation area.

There was no danger for the past two nights, except for the eerie laughter, everything else was normal. Some people wondered if there was really any danger in the pit valley of Beiwangpo, but of course the soldiers did not relax their vigilance, and the soldiers who were on duty at night were still working very responsibly.

However, in the past two days, Harry and the others have not bothered the Ice Child, and the Ice Childish Evil seems to have forgotten the events of that day. Speaking of which, Bing Zhiye is not a person who is xiǎo angry, young people always fight, and they will never remember a lifetime of grudges because of this, maybe he is no longer angry. In the past two days, he has been busy helping out in the middle of the archaeological team, doing this and that, and he seems to be very attentive.

This lack of harvest lasted until the morning of the fifth day, when the members of the archaeological team had just gotten up to work and had not even eaten breakfast, when they heard someone shouting in the pit: "I have found something, I have dug something." ”

Some of the people who were cooking in the camp hurriedly ran over to look, shouting, "What did you dig up?"

Bing Zhiyi also looked at the past.

At this time, the pit had been dug very big and deep, and several soldiers were helping to dig the soil below, and suddenly they found a ** thing, and turned over the surrounding tree roots and soil to see, it turned out to be a stone statue.

"This stone statue is huge, it looks like a stone sculpture of a monster monster. A teacher said, "Come down to help a few people, dig it out and see what kind of stone carving it is." ”

Several soldiers and teachers jumped down to the bottom of the pit deeper than five floors, and together with the people below, it took more than half a dozen hours to dig out the stone statue.

This stone carving is not complete, it is only a part of it, but it is also more than ten meters large.

"It looks like a stone sculpture of a lion-faced beast. ”

Because the head and other parts of the body are missing, it is impossible to intuitively see what kind of stone carving it is. However, the lion's arms and feet are long, and the joints are always curved, and they are rarely fully extended, which is clearly shown in the stone carvings, so it is obvious that it is a lion-faced beast at a glance.

One person said excitedly: "I was worried about digging the wrong place before, it seems that we are almost close to the tomb." ”

Stone statues are often seen inside and outside large mausoleums.

Everyone was so excited that they forgot about the breakfast they were eating. Garvas rubbed his fists even more, his eyes lit up, and he jumped down to help.

Several of them lifted the statue to the ground with great strength. Bing Zhiyi walked to the edge of the pit, leaned on the stone statue and looked down, then looked at the stone statue, and took a look casually, but this mō suddenly made him feel wrong: "Hmm, this ......" He carefully examined the stone statue, and the expression on his face gradually changed from strange to serious.

He took a few steps back, looked up and saw that the fracture of the statue was on it, so he climbed down the statue, looked at the fracture, and said to himself: "This stone statue ......."

"There's something wrong with this stone statue. The voice of this statement was not loud, it was not Bingzhi's heresy, but it came from under the other side of the stone carving.

Bing Zhixiao crawled over and took a look, only to see that the sealing knight named Qiao in the team was taking off his gloves and gently caressing the stone statue, and he was still muttering to himself: "There is no coolness at all as a stone should be, and the touch is not right...... , sure enough, this is not a stone carving. He raised his head and found the ice on it.

Bing Zhizhi smiled and asked him, "They said it was a stone statue of a lion-faced beast, did you say yes?"

The Seal Knight just glanced at the Ice Child, turned his head and walked away.

Bing Zhiye sat on the statue and watched him walk away, and his hand was on the statue on his body again: "This is clearly not stone, but a living demonic beast has been petrified!"

The stone sculpture was indeed that of the lion-faced beast, and it didn't take long for the people below to dig up the other half of the stone statue, but it had already broken into several pieces. In addition to the stone sculptures of the lion-faced beast, they also dug up a large number of other stone sculptures, which were only statues of monsters at first, and later unearthed a whole humanoid stone sculpture. Some of these stone carvings are made of stone even for their clothes and armor, while others are still wearing shiny metal armor, and the fire mark on the armor is very new, completely recent. ,

At this time, the people of the archaeological team also realized that something was wrong.

"Are these guys alive...... The living?"

A student's face turned white with fright: "What's going on?"

The royal mentor mō said with a stone carving: "These statues are not stone carvings, they are all living people who have been petrified!"

Everyone's hearts lifted at once.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Jane, isn't this Jane? Teacher, come on, don't you see this person is Jane?"

Jane was the archaeological leader sent by the provincial government of Apra, and at this time she became a stone statue half-buried in the earth, with a terrified expression on her face.

"Quick, dig her out. ”

Several people hurriedly started and quickly dug her out of the soil.

The man who found Jane asked, "Mentor, is she...... Is she still alive?"

Jane had one arm broken, but the rest of the body was still intact.

The royal mentor faced his question and was silent for a long time before he said, "God will keep her safe." Use your magic to free her. ”

The two of them placed Jane's heart flat on the ground, and several other magicians cast spells together to remove the petrification for her.

Petrification is removed very slowly, even if several people cast spells at the same time, there is no movement for half a day, which is related to the length and depth of being petrified. The longer it passes, the deeper the petrification and the more difficult it is to unravel. As for whether you can live after petrification, in addition to the above reasons, it also depends on the ability of the petrified person himself.

The magic had been cast for several minutes, but Jane's petrified state still hadn't moved, and everyone's hearts sank. But the others were not idle, and while they were worried, they continued to dig in the pit. The royal tutor and others were still constantly reminding the excavators, so that the excavators must pay attention to their hearts and never break the stone statue.

The spell lasted for almost a month, and Jane's appearance finally faded from some of her petrified face. However, several of the magicians who cast the spell gave up, and it was obvious that Jane was dead, and it was impossible for her to be alive after being petrified for so long.

Seeing Jian's half-petrified body, everyone's hearts sank, and a layer of yīn haze was covered.

At lunch, there were fewer people talking in the camp, and the original joy and excitement disappeared with this discovery. It turned out that the disappearance of all the people was petrified by unknown circumstances, but they didn't know that they would be buried more than ten meters underground.

Finally, someone spoke, and spoke to everyone: "I propose to report the current situation first, and wait for more people to come and make the danger here clear before continuing the excavation work." What do you think?"

In fact, everyone is thinking about this problem, obviously the current situation is no longer suitable for archaeological excavation, and everyone will be in danger if it continues.

Garvas looked at the crowd and then said to the proposed: "I don't agree. ”

"Weishenme?" proposed the human: "Don't you see that there is danger?"

Garvas said: "Didn't everyone already know that there was danger here? There is always danger, but it depends on how big it is. I don't think the danger is enough for us to deal with, and I don't even see the source of the danger until now, so I just go back in disgrace?"

"So many people have been petrified, and you can see how dangerous it is here. ”

Garvas snorted, "Are those people magicians, are they knights of seals, are they berserkers?"

The proposed humanitarian: "General, you can fight habitually, of course, you are not afraid of anything." But not everyone here has the strength of yours. ”

"That's why it's up to us to take care of your safety. Garvas said, "We can't just go back without even knowing what the danger is, so what should others think of me? Besides, there are so many people buried in the ground, and since we have found out, we should not leave them alone and leave. Maybe there's someone alive here, isn't it?"

The person who proposed it couldn't tell him, so he had to say, "Mentor, what do you think?"

The royal mentor said: "You are right to be worried about everyone's safety, but General Garvas has a point, we can't just go back without knowing anything, not to mention that there are so many people underground." General and Joe are in charge of our security, and now General Garvas we can deal with the danger now. Joe, what do you think?"

Joe hugged Xiōng and thought for a while, then said, "I don't think there's a problem with safety." ”

The Royal Mentor nodded and said, "Well, since the two people in charge of our safety feel that there is no problem, then we will continue to stay here." However, the focus of our work needs to be changed, and the next work will mainly focus on rescuing people underground, and as for archaeological excavations, we can save them for later. ”,

"I think it's okay to do both," said Garvas, "and maybe the soldiers and I will solve the danger in the process." ”

The person who proposed it before thought for a moment and said, "I think we should at least send the students out, their strength is not enough, and it is too dangerous to stay here." What's more, Ruola has been sick for several days and has not recovered, so she should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for a proper examination. ”

"What do you see, General?" asked the Royal Mentor.

Garvas shook his head and said, "This won't work. There weren't many soldiers with us, and we didn't know how dangerous it was in the jungle, and it would be even more dangerous in case we encountered a swarm of dead plague rats. Why escort them out, but allocate a lot of men, so that there will not be enough men in the camp. Now that the camp is in danger, I am confident that I can cope with it, but I have to keep all my men behind to ensure the safety of everyone. As for Sister Ruolaxiǎo's illness, I think she just vomited and didn't get worse anymore, so there shouldn't be any big problem. Didn't the team doctor say that everything was normal in her body. ”

The proposer said, "General, let's ask the students for their opinions." ”

The Royal Tutor looked at the student and asked, "Do you feel scared and want to leave?"

Harry said, "No, we're not scared at all. As the general said, what are we worried about with his protection. What's more, it has been a few days since we came to Beiwangpo, and we have not encountered any danger, so we don't have to worry too much if we do. We are no longer xiǎo children, in fact we are all adults, and our age is no longer the age that needs to be cared for. As teachers often teach, only through experience can we grow faster. ”

The Royal Mentor smiled, "That's a good point. ”

The other two students chimed in.

When the proposer saw that the students were reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to give up.

Harry said, "I'm just worried about whether some of the xiǎo boys will be in danger. ”

Some people looked at Bing Zhixie, but since the students didn't leave, it was impossible for them to bother to send him away.
