Chapter 603 Five Star Unearthed
There is a chasm in the burial ground of the Hu Biao Army, and the chasm is full of skulls. Those skulls are proof of the Tiger Biao Army's meritorious service.
What did these inhuman beings from the Three-Eyed Kingdom look like during their lifetime?
No one knows.
Liu Jiao said at the beginning that she had never even seen the Hu Biao Army who had been fighting them!!
All we know is that after the death of these things, their souls will reside on their skulls, sweeping up black mist. Wherever they pass, people and animals are all mummified corpses, which is extremely terrifying. Even if they enter the black mist, they can only see three eyes. If they are destroyed,
If killed, a piece of skull will be left behind.
And over time, these skulls whose souls have been killed will grow brightly colored toadstools, exuding the smell of bitter apricots...
This is what we saw with our own eyes in Hu Biaojun’s cemetery!
Now, the smell of bitter apricots appears again, which means... there are the bones of dead Three-Eyed people in the corridor.
We are naturally not afraid of dead people, or in other words, we are specialized in dealing with dead people, but...the black mist is not within the scope of our knowledge. It is known that only the Hu Biao Army is not affected by the black mist. I was able to escape completely last time.
Relying on the mysterious person to take action...
There are still fish that slipped through the net in the cemetery of the Hu Biao Army on the edge of the Yellow River. This is the place where the black mist originated. Who dares to say that the souls of those things must not have survived?
Even my master asked for the ancestral weapon in advance and asked me to stay back while he walked in front. It can be seen that even a being at the level of a heavenly master has to brace himself when facing such a critical moment.
As we moved forward step by step, the smell of bitter apricots in the air became heavier and heavier, and the corridor became a little cold, damp and stuffy.
After walking forward for another hundred or so meters, densely packed corpses occupied the entire corridor. At a glance, brightly colored toadstools were dotted everywhere like stars in the sky, which looked indescribably weird...
Fortunately, there was no black mist coming out.
After watching from a distance for a while, seeing no movement, I plucked up the courage to cross my master and move towards the nearest corpse!
No matter what, I guess not just me, everyone is curious about what kind of life these things in the Three-Eyed Kingdom are?
This is the first time we have seen the complete skeletons left behind by these things from the Three Eyes Kingdom. How can we not be curious?
After looking at it for a moment, to be honest, I was a little disappointed.
It's not some imaginary monster with fangs and claws.
No matter how you look at it, these things are very similar to humans, except...the skulls are a little smaller.
And it's a bit unbelievable how small it is, at most it's as big as an adult man's two fists put together...
Other than that, the rest of the body is exactly the same as a human being.
If you think about these things carefully, they actually look quite funny. They have a human body skeleton, and then a head that is not much bigger than a cantaloupe. It looks like a yellow skin turned into a spirit.
These bones have been sealed here for thousands of years, and are still relatively intact. For example, the one at my feet is lying on the ground, with his right arm stretched forward. Together, it is not difficult to reconstruct the body's death
The way it looked at that time - it was running away, trying to escape through a secret passage, but failed. It was still alive when it fell, and it was still crawling until it died.
Its skull has fallen off from its skull, and there is an extraordinarily plump bright mushroom growing on it...
"It seems that the destruction of the Three-Eyed Kingdom was not only due to the prison dragon. The earth dragon turned over and buried people alive at most. They were hiding in the secret passage but would not be affected by this. It was obvious that something else was chasing them at that time.
They, a whole bunch of them, were caught up and killed here, even their souls were gone, otherwise there wouldn't be toxins growing on these skulls."
I gradually let go of my courage and squatted down to pick up an arm bone left on one side. It turned out that the bone had become rotten and crispy, leaving only an empty shell. I couldn't even pick it up. After a slight touch,
It immediately "clicked" and broke into pieces.
"etc!"
Seeing that I was about to throw away the bones in my hand, Brother Yaozi yelled and hurried over. He squatted next to me and carefully looked at the fracture surface of the half of the bones in my hand. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "On the bones
These holes... don't look like traces of calcium loss."
Wushuang is an expert when it comes to corpses, so Brother Yaozi turned to greet Wushuang: "Come and see if this is what happened."
Wushuang came up to take a look, nodded and said: "It is indeed not caused by the loss of calcium. If the calcium were lost, those holes would be like craters, some big and some small, and they are not so deep. You can see it is clear, more like
It was bitten through by something."
This is quite a big discovery.
Next, a few of us examined many bones, and the results we got made us very puzzled.
Basically, the bones here have holes, but some of them are the crater-shaped holes that Wushuang mentioned. This is a typical bone loss of calcium. After all, it has been thousands of years, and the environment here is sour and misty, so it appears like this
This phenomenon is normal. In fact, in many places where the soil is acidic, this phenomenon will appear on old bones, and some are densely packed with pinholes.
Besides, the number of skulls and bones we found didn't match up!
There are many bones, but few skulls!
Those skeletons with bones showing signs of calcium loss, most of the skulls are missing!
"So, not all of the people who died here have lost their souls. Only those with abnormal bones and those with normal bones have lost their souls. Their souls have been preserved and resided on the skulls. The black mist that eventually formed moved southward.
, started a fight with the Hu Biao Army..."
My master made this conclusion: "If they were attacked by something and died, there shouldn't be so many survivors. Nine times out of ten, they would all be gone!"
really!
The cause of death of these people...has really become a mystery!
I feel that in order to find out this matter, we have to uncover the mystery of the demise of the Three Eyes ancient country.
After looking here for a while, we didn't find much, so we continued walking along the corridor filled with corpses. After a while, we... came to the end!!
"this……"
Lao Bai was a little dumbfounded: "Are you sure this distance is correct?"
This is bullshit, how can it be right!
How far did it take us to get here? Just a few thousand meters!!
The ghost town may not have a large population, but it occupies a large area. The distance between the houses is extremely large, and there is quite a distance from the city wall to the fortress in the middle.
In other words, our previous guess has been overturned. This secret passage does not lead to the fortress in the middle, but now it ends halfway!
This was even more horrifying than meeting those corpses. Brother Yaozi looked extremely ugly and turned to ask me: "Can you still grasp the direction now?"
"No problem, I've always been here."
I poked my heart and said: "This corridor is indeed advancing towards the fortress in the middle. Even if the corridor ends, we only need to keep digging in the direction of the corridor, and we can still reach the fortress in the end."
At this point, Brother Yaozi felt relieved.
There is no way, the ancient city has been buried. If we want to reach the fortress, we have to dig underground. In this case, the direction must not be wrong. Once we make a mistake, it will really be a mistake that is thousands of miles away.
.
At the beginning, I was unwilling to start from the bottom of the mountain and tried to find a solution from the top of the mountain. This was the reason.
So since I came in, the consistent direction has been my biggest concern, and I'm still in control of it so far.
Seeing that Wushuang had already taken out the sledgehammer, Brother Yaozi quickly stopped him and said, "Don't rush to dig now. There is no definite evidence that the Earth Spirit Bead we are looking for is in that fortress. It's just because that fortress is the center of the ghost town.
Conspicuous, the highest possibility!
But, the place we are in now is not bad either!
Think about it, who can dig such a secret tunnel, can he be a coward? Even if you come here, you have to take a look, the treasured spirit beads are right here!"
Makes sense!
I nodded, walked to the end of the corridor, and knocked around, trying to find the entrance to the secret passage.
The person who dug this secret tunnel didn't put much thought into it. Soon I found it, right above my head. The sound from the tapping there was obviously empty.
Wushuang tentatively poked the stone with a hammer, and easily opened a gap!
That stone is not a heavy slate, it is just a very thin slate, and it is well disguised.
Seeing that it was opened, Brother Yaozi rushed forward quite neatly. The light of the flashlight shook a few times, and then suddenly stopped, and there was no sound at all.
"What's going on?"
I was right below him. I was so confused by this strange thing that I yelled and climbed up in a hurry.
At this time, Brother Yaozi's voice came from above: "What a ghost, it's really a ghost this time, Jingzhe, guess what I saw..."
I calmed down for a while and asked him what he saw while climbing up.
Chapter completed!
