"...Is it possible that the characters above are pronounced as temples?"
Saeki looked in the direction pointed by Chiba Makoto, and through the dark fog produced by the searchlight, he could vaguely see the two large characters at the top of the gate.
emm..
do not know.
It looked like a ghost painting, but the huge pillars on both sides and the thick stone slabs underfoot showed that this place was definitely a very important place, so this guy guessed it was a temple based on the two characters.
However, my eyesight is quite good. In such a dark environment and such a long distance, I can actually see these two characters at a glance.
Saeki nodded perfunctorily: "Well, this place may indeed be a temple."
As he spoke, his hands were beckoning his men to follow him quickly and use the instruments they carried to conduct a deep scan of this extremely tall door to determine whether there was a large space behind the door.
With the lessons learned last time, this time he would not rashly blow up the passage and go in. While the technicians were detecting it, he commanded his men to arrange their troops and set up a defense line on the spot to prepare for any eventuality.
Not long after, with TPC's advanced technology, it was determined that there was a large space behind the door, which was at least ten times larger than the cave they were in.
"Ten times!"
This number is somewhat astonishing. It is equivalent to hollowing out the interior of a thousand-meter-high mountain, leaving only the thin shell. Saeki is very excited and extremely looking forward to what huge discoveries will be made inside.
After all, no matter how advanced the super-ancient technology is, they would not dig out such a large space in such a hard rock so deep underground for no reason. Although it has not been opened yet, Saeki is certain that this 'blind box' will definitely give
His huge surprise, although probably not as good as the ruins of the ultra-ancient city deeper inside, is definitely not smaller.
Nervousness and excitement made Saeki's face flush. He took several deep breaths, suppressed his inner excitement, and then said in a deep voice: "Get ready to dig in and blast!"
Several soldiers immediately ran over with the boxes and rushed to the door. Near the door, they found a blank space that would not affect the overall pattern. They began to drill holes and install high-energy bombs inside.
Everyone else hid behind the bunkers set up.
Chiba Makoto was at the back, looking at the swaying beams of light tubes from a distance without any intention of stepping forward to stop him. He watched TPC open the blind box to see if it was a Pandora's box, a lucky gift box, or it was all in vain.
After all, a movie is a movie, and reality is reality. If the plot is applied to reality, if the situation is good, it will only add laughter, but if it is extremely bad, you may die without knowing how.
The investigation team can go astray and go all the way to the ultra-ancient ruins underground. The passage they have found now is still not the 'original' one. Only by opening it and seeing that Camilla and the three of them are indeed inside can they be sure.
.
As for the resurrection of the dark giant——
Chiba Makoto really didn't intend to stop them, and even wanted to wake them up. As Dagu said, what should be left to future generations should be wealth, not problems.
Why did the three dark giants who had been sealed for 30 million years suddenly awaken? Is it really just that the seal was broken?
You Lian's sentence "The darkness in human hearts will never disappear" seems to give the answer. Even if the seal is not broken, as long as the darkness continues to strengthen, sooner or later they will break out unless there is no more darkness in human hearts.
But how is this possible?
It is more difficult to prevent darkness from arising in human hearts than to get those three dark giants to abandon evil and do good, because they are only three, and there is a possibility of success if they work hard, but there are billions of human beings.
It is even more difficult to make one billion people do good than to save the earth. After all, not everyone is human, and some people can be said to be extremely evil until death.
This is also one of the reasons why Chiba Makoto took the initiative to say that there were three giants being sealed. He wanted to attract TPC to continue exploring Luluye. If he suffered bad consequences, he might learn a lesson and be honest for a while.
"Prepare to detonate." Saeki's shout echoed in the cave, causing everyone to quickly hide their bodies behind the cover, then block their ears, open their mouths, and wait for the explosion.
After the countdown reached zero, Saeki pressed the detonation button without hesitation. Amidst the loud 'bang', the specially designed directional detonation erupted forward with terrifying power, destroying solid rocks like a piece of stone.
It shattered and spewed out billowing dust, turning the originally clear cave into a grayish state.
But no one paid attention to the floating dust. They all looked at the cave looming in the dust with surprise. The stone door more than ten meters thick was blown open to create a hole big enough for three people to pass through. The power of TPC's newly developed high-purity energy bomb
It's obvious.
"alert!"
Saeki shouted loudly, and he also picked up a self-defense pistol. Together with his soldiers, he aimed at the big hole that was blown out, held his breath and waited quietly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the cave was particularly tense. Everyone looked at the blasted hole without breathing. If there was any movement inside, it would be a fierce battle, but if there was no movement, that would be great.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes...
Although breakthroughs in materials have greatly reduced the weight of firearms, maintaining the same posture for more than ten minutes will still make your wrists sore, your feet numb when you squat, and your body will begin to shake. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will
Before the monsters come, the soldiers will lose part of their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Saeki immediately ordered that the first group should go out as a vanguard and go inside to take a look. The others should spread out to cover the first group. They should not all go in at once. If something unexpected happens, the entire army would be annihilated.
Finally able to move, everyone hurriedly stood up and carried out Saeki's order. Several soldiers formed a fighting formation and carefully approached the door with guns in hand. They walked in through the hole created by the explosion and passed through the thick door.
Entering another extremely vast world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon, a sound of 'safety' came from inside, which made Saeki feel relieved and ordered the whole army to attack. The soldiers filed in with full vigilance.
But the next second, the vigilance turned into shock.
A bunch of tactical flashlights scanned out an extremely huge space. You can't see the sides or the top at a glance. What's even more incredible is that in such a huge space, there is not a single support column, only vaguely visible in the center.
A dark shadow almost reaching the top of the cave.
This surprised Saeki. Such a huge statue still had a body shape. It was obviously a stone statue. Although the super ancient ruins were full of stone statues, they were temporarily out of reach, but the stone statue in front of him could be transported out through this stone door.
Excited heart, trembling hands!
Saeki hurriedly ordered his men to set up searchlights, but when the high-power incandescent lamp was lit, what came into view surprised everyone.
"What...what is this?" Saeki stared at the huge stone statue in front of him in stunned silence. This was quite different from what he had imagined.
"Uh...why is it another suture monster?" Chiba Cheng was also a little dumbfounded. This is not a dark giant, it is just a suture monster.
At first glance, it looks like a toad, but there is only one eye on the face, and it occupies most of the area. The trunk is as long as an elephant, almost hanging down to the abdomen. What is even weirder is that the nose is covered with octopuses.
It has tentacle-like suckers, and giant snake-like beards hanging down on both sides of its cheeks. Its arms are like crab-like pincers, its legs are like a goshawk, its toes are three, and the ends are sharp hooks.
There is a pair of huge bat-like wings on its back, but they are covered with bird feathers.
Although it is a stone statue, you can still clearly see the stacked fish scale-like protrusions on the body, as well as the vein-like protrusions spread between the scales, and a thick and long python-like snake extending from the spine.
Huge tail.
Even a short-sighted person cannot connect this thing with a giant.
"..."
The soldiers also looked at each other. They opened the blind box and seemed to find something extraordinary.
Although I still don’t know what this thing is, just looking at the height of 100 meters, the patchwork body and the ferocious face, I know that it is definitely not a good thing.
This is a blind box, so the surprise is doubled.
"Ma... report to the headquarters immediately." Saeki came to his senses, and his first reaction was to inform the headquarters of his great discovery. Although it was not the giant stone statue he imagined, it was still a stone statue, which could be considered half of it.
When Saeki called for the communications troops, Chiba Makoto was also observing this huge monster stone statue. When he first saw it, he was also shocked. He never expected that Luluye actually had such a thing.
Before, Chiba Makoto thought that Luluye only had giant stone statues. Now it seems that Luluye’s underground content may be much richer than imagined. No, it may not be just Luluye.
Masaki Keigo discovered giant stone statues and monster stone statues in the underground caves of Kumamoto, and the monster stone statues also had colorful timers.
At that time, Chiba Makoto felt that it was probably an artificial monster created by an ultra-ancient civilization. Is the monster stone statue like a Stitch monster in front of him an ultra-ancient version created by an ultra-ancient civilization that combined the strongest parts of many monsters into one?
What about 'Kimiramon'?
If this is the case, then there are probably more than just the super-ancient city and the side hall where the three dark giants were sealed underground in Luluye. There are probably many caves with various stone statues placed there. Then why is there a gate outside?
Does it say temple?
Temple, temple, as the name suggests, the palace of God.
Is this thing a god?
How do you look like God?
Chiba Makoto looked at it sideways and vertically, but he couldn't see that this thing had any sacred properties. The super ancient civilization and technology were so advanced, why did he still appreciate this ugly and shocking divine wind like Asan?
But if this is not a temple as the name suggests, then what is it for?
Chiba Cheng once again felt that he still knew too little about Luluye, but it was right to think about it. Not to mention that he only had fragmentary memories, even if he had complete memories, a person could not understand his own city.
Know it like the back of your hand.
Is it possible...
Chiba Cheng walked around, pretending to sweep the flashlight in his hand, but in fact, he had mobilized light particles in his eyes, making his eyes glow with gleaming luster, so that the darkness could no longer block his sight, and he could clearly see everything around him.
Looking around, there is nothing in the field of vision, except for rocks, which are still rocks. It is very different from the imagined temple. However, on the surrounding rock walls, there are patterns outlined by lines that can be regarded as 'murals'.
"We are already so high-tech, why are paintings so crude?" Chiba Makoto stood in front of a nearly 100-square-meter mural and wondered why these ultra-ancient murals were so crude.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. After all, the technology is so advanced. It is possible to dig such a large cave underground without supporting pillars. Why are the murals left behind so crude?
Unless these stone murals were not painted in the prosperous era of technological advancement, but in the apocalyptic catastrophe of starvation, not to mention the painting tools and paints, even the artists could not find a few. They could only use this simple but profound method to paint them.
The information is left for future reference.
Chiba Makoto has always taken the information left by his predecessors seriously. Even if the words are not clear, the pictures are as universal as mathematics, and he can understand what he wants to express at a glance.
Among the murals, the most eye-catching and largest one is the stone statue in the middle of the cave. Surrounded by a group of little people kneeling at the feet of the giant statue, there are tables in front of these little people, with various items placed on the tables.
Just one picture made Chiba Cheng understand why this place is called a temple, because such an ugly thing was really worshiped as a god by super ancient people.
...
Chiba Cheng felt a little complicated for a moment. He never expected that super ancient people really liked this ugly style and worshiped such an ugly stone statue as a god.
It really opened my eyes.
What Chiba Makoto saw was that Zuzuzi was amazed. There really were all kinds of wonders in the world, and there were actually people worshiping evil gods.
Yes, it is the evil god.
The murals further ahead reveal where this stone statue came from.
Just as Chiba Makoto originally thought, it is indeed a seal!
But it was the evil god who sealed it.
According to the content of the mural, this huge monster suddenly descended on the earth. It possessed super mental power and controlled the people around it, turning it into its puppets and then eating them. Although the mural is simple, you can imagine the situation.
How terrible it must be.
People cannot control their bodies and can only passively walk forward, and watch helplessly as they walk step by step into the monster's mouth and be eaten alive. This fear of dying little by little is enough to make people
People collapse, but they can't do anything but wait for death.
But with such a large volume, how many people should be fed to fill their stomachs?
It’s probably not enough for one city!
So the purpose of this guy is not to eat people, but to create fear before death and use fear as food.
Chiba Makoto made a guess based on his past experience of dealing with those super-ancient 'relics'.
After all, the degree of fear and despair is different between death in an instant and death slowly.
