Chapter 122 Modern Man
The lines of words written by the beautiful skeleton on the ground surprised Zhang Jiayong and the other two. The skeletons were all modern people! Moreover, the skeleton who wrote was only eighteen years old!
"Are you modern people?" Zhang Jiayong asked again without believing.
The eight skeletons nodded at the same time, making a crackling sound of bone friction.
Zhang Jiayong took a breath of air conditioning. The eight skeletons were actually made of modern people. The skeleton who wrote was born in 2029. She said that she was eighteen years old, but now it is 2049, not 2047. In other words, the time is two years away. The owner of these eight skeletons died two years ago, or not yet dead, and lived in another way...
"It's 2049 now. How did you come here? And how did you become like this?" Zhang Jiayong asked.
The eight skeletons looked at each other, and the writing skeleton began to write on the ground again, writing: "We don't know how we came here, we even forgot our names, but I remember that eight of us seemed to be roommates, and I was the sixth among them. We were all eighteen and nineteen years old. Are we all in 2049 now? I remember two years ago we seemed to be traveling together during the summer vacation. I really couldn't remember what happened after that, and I couldn't remember what happened before."
After reading this long passage, Zhang Jiayong felt that things became more and more elusive. Didn’t it mean that these eight skeletons were the eight beauties of ancient times? Why did they suddenly become eight modern people, and they seemed to be modern college students?
"What do you think is the principle?" Zhang Jiayong opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Xian and Zuo Xiong.
"I don't know, this is too strange. In such an underground environment, two years after death, it should not become such a clean white bone. The formation of these white bones will be at least hundreds of years." Zuo Xiong said.
"Can you take some samples from them and go back and study them? Are you not very high-tech? Analyze how many years this skeleton has been." Zhang Xian said.
Zuo Xiong slapped his head and felt that he woke up the dreamer. He just took the soil here back, then brought some tissue samples from the skeleton, and asked the machine to analyze it, and then he could infer when the tomb was formed and how many years the skeleton had died.
However, this soil is easy to take, but can they agree to take samples from these "living" skeletons?
"That, Xiao Liu? Can I call you that?" Zhang Jiayong said to the skeleton who was writing. They have forgotten their names anyway and don't know what to call them, so they can just call them according to their age.
The skeleton who wrote nodded and agreed to Zhang Jiayong's name.
"Can we take some tissue samples from you? Then we take them back and analyze them with high-tech instruments. Look, is that okay?" Zhang Jiayong asked tentatively.
The eight skeletons looked at each other, opened their mouths, making a rattle of teeth colliding. Although they could not speak, they could understand what the other person said from the collision of each other's teeth. It was really magical.
"Yes, but it won't hurt, right? Will it hurt us?" Xiao Liu wrote on the ground.
"No, I just took a little bit, and I'm not going to tear you down." Zhang Jiayong said with a smile.
Finally, with the consent of eight skeletons, Zuo Xiong took the professional tools and opened
The sample was started. However, from Zuo Xiong's slim figure, it can still be seen that he was very afraid of these skeletons.
After all, the scene is too weird. If an ordinary person is afraid he will be scared to faint. These are eight moving skeletons! If you are not on the scene, you will never feel the shock.
Zuo Xiong used a small spade to scrape off a little powder from one of the skeleton legs.
During the scraping process, the skeleton made a quarrel sound. Judging from its appearance, it seemed that it was laughing, as if Zuo Xiong did this and it made her feel itchy.
Zuo Xiong was shocked by the strange laughter. The shovel in his hand shook and landed on the ground, but he immediately picked it up and continued his homework.
Then, he did the same operation on the second, third, fourth... skeleton, collected eight times of bone powder, and took it back for identification.
Then, Zuo Xiong collected some soil from the ground and scraped off some wall dust from the wall.
After doing all this, Zhang Jiayong and the other two were ready to go back, but they were not sure whether they could go back, because they had been looking for an exit just now, but they had been circled around and seemed to be lost.
So, Zhang Jiayong asked, "Xiao Liu, do you know how to get out?"
Xiao Liu shook his head, and the other skeletons also shook their heads. They even forgot who they were and how they came here, how could they still remember the way out.
Since that's the case, Zhang Jiayong and the others just need to try again.
However, Zhang Jiayong and the others walked around for several times, but finally returned to their original place. The eight beautiful skeletons were smiling rattledly.
"We really can't get out. Could it be that these little girls were trapped here because they couldn't get out, right?" Zuo Xiong said with some fear.
"We may have gone in the wrong direction and kept thinking about returning as the same way. I know that some tombs have very strange layouts. You can only walk forward to the exit, rather than walk backwards. " Zhang Xian thought for a while and said.
There is no other better way at the moment. Zhang Jiayong thought Zhang Xian's method could be tried, so they left the range of forty-nine tombs and continued to move forward, not knowing what was ahead.
After walking not far, they actually saw a piece of water, which was basically a small pond with many aquatic plants.
"Look, is this the little thing we saw on the way we first came?" Zhang Jiayong said with a sharp eyes and pointed at an object on the water.
"Damn it, this is the thing! The saliva that was spitting out was poisonous and almost ruined me!" Zuo Xiong saw the thing in the direction Zhang Jiayong pointed. Wasn't it the thing like a giant salamander that they saw in a small pool when they first came in?
"Is there a very small passage under that small pool that can reach here?" Zhang Jiayong said in confusion.
"There is a bamboo raft over there. Do we use this to cross it?" Zhang Xian looked around and found a bamboo raft, which was the only available water raft.
Zhang Jiayong walked over and tried the strength of the bamboo raft. It was quite good. He was able to stand on someone but didn't know if he could withstand the weight of three people.
The three of them walked onto the bamboo raft carefully, and then tried the load-bearing capacity of the bamboo raft on the spot. They found that it was still acceptable, so the three of them started to cross the pole.
This pond.
When passing by the little thing like a giant salamander, Zuo Xiong planned to knock it with a metal rod, but Zhang Jiayong stopped it in time. He didn't know what strange creatures were hidden in the pond, so it's better not to cause trouble.
Sure enough, when they came to the center of the pond, dense little eyes appeared on the water, all of which were like giant salamanders. The scene made the three of them creepy, and those with dense phobia were probably scared and paralyzed.
Fortunately, those giant salamander-like creatures just floated on the water and did not take any further action. Zhang Jiayong and the others came to the other side with lingering fear and landed successfully.
Zuo Xiong looked back at the densely packed eyes on the water surface, couldn't help but tremble, then quickly followed Zhang Jiayong and Zhang Xian's steps and left here.
"It seems like there is a sound of water flowing in front!" Zhang Jiayong said.
"No, right? You want to cross the river again? Don't show some prehistoric water monsters this time!" Zuo Xiong said dejectedly.
"No, it's not like the sound of water flowing on the lake, but like the sound of water flowing from top to bottom. Maybe it's a waterfall!" Zhang Jiayong speculated.
"Waterfall? Don't joke! How could there be a waterfall in this tomb under the ground?" Zuo Xiong thought Zhang Jiayong had heard it wrong.
However, as everyone continued to move forward, the facts presented to everyone proved Zhang Jiayong's speculation that there was actually a waterfall ahead! And Zhang Jiayong and the others should be behind the waterfall!
"Oh my God! This...this is so incredible. There is actually a waterfall in the tomb!" Zuo Xiong opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his words were not smooth.
"What do you think?" Zhang Jiayong ignored Zuo Xiong. This guy is an old fox in the mall, but when he left the mall, he looked like a "country bun" no matter how he looked!
"The exit may be behind the waterfall, bring the rope in your backpack." Zhang Xian asked for a rock climbing rope from Zuo Xiong.
Then, he gave one end of the rope to Zhang Jiayong, tied the other end to himself, and said, "I will pass through the waterfall in a while. If there is really an exit, I will pull the rope three times. If not, I will pull it twice, and then you will pull me back!"
"Then be careful." Zhang Jiayong nodded, believing that with Zhang Xian's strength, nothing unexpected happened.
Zhang Xian passed through the waterfall and slowly disappeared from the sight of the two of them. Soon after, feedback came from the rope, two strokes! It seemed that the front was not an exit!
Zhang Jiayong was about to pull Zhang Xian back, but found that he had walked back from the other end of the waterfall.
"Isn't it the exit in front?" Zuo Xiong asked with a little disappointment.
Zhang Xian shook his head, causing Zhang Jiayong to sigh, it seemed that he still couldn't find the exit, but Zhang Xian's next words had a big reversal.
"My head-shaking means to deny his words! The previous one is indeed an utterance! But..." Zhang Xian pointed at Zuo Xiong and said.
"But what?" Zhang Jiayong asked.
"You guys come and have a look with me." Zhang Xian did not explain, but took Zhang Jiayong and Zuo Xiong through the waterfall.
After seeing the scene at the other end of the waterfall, Zhang Jiayong and Zuo Xiong realized that the other end of the waterfall was indeed the exit. Unfortunately, they were on a high platform! Only by jumping down from here, falling into the lake below, and swimming ashore, can they truly leave the tomb.
Chapter completed!
