Even though it is a withered skeleton, it still seems to have substantial eyes, staring at something long and deeply in the silent air.
"Dragon!" Cassia muttered to herself, then subconsciously looked away and looked around.
The place where it fell was a natural shaft, about twenty or thirty meters high. The hard stone wall was covered with spots of fresh light yellow moss, emitting a very weak light green fluorescence. Some tree roots had penetrated the rock.
, revealing a thin aerial root. As expected, it was still infected by those "germs".
The bottom of the shaft seemed a bit spacious. There were two stone steps. Cassia saw the traces of artificial digging on the top. He landed on the top level of the stone steps. The bottom was occupied by an underground river. There was very fast flowing water, but the sound of the water was
It did not reverberate around. This should not be a closed space, Cassia immediately judged.
"I seem to have arrived at a surprising place." The beam of the bright flashlight hit the huge dragon skull again. Cassia wanted to determine whether there were any strange characters and symbols on it. But it seemed that it was just a skull without any
The skull of any kind lay there alone, with a thin layer of dust even accumulated on it, but there was no moss to climb on it.
Only then did he look at his feet. The bones of his left leg had pierced the skin and were completely exposed to the air. The weight had completely had the opposite effect at this time. Their texture was harder than steel, so they were not easy to break.
All the impact force was absorbed abruptly.
When the light of the flashlight illuminated the surroundings, Cassia discovered that there was a pile of black and gray human bones under her body. In the past, the teams looking for minerals used this place as a natural burial ground.
The clothes rotted into pieces and became a gathering place for all kinds of insects. Cassia took a look and found that they were full of molted shells and eggs of small animals, as well as a layer of feces.
The skin of the legs was scratched many times by these dead bones, but in less than a minute or two, the wounds were all scabbed. Enduring the pain, Cassia violently reattached the exposed bones of the left leg,
He had learned anatomy in school, and some simple medical knowledge helped him a lot at this time. His excellent self-healing ability made him not too worried about such injuries.
"It's just a minor injury. At most, I need to endure the pain for a while." Cassia commented. It was estimated that it would take two or three hours before he could move. During this time, Cassia could only look around.
Among the pile of dead bones beneath him, Cassia found a rusted soft steel cable rope.
"That group of people came down after discovering this place." At this time, the eyes naturally shifted to the skull next to them, "They wanted to take this skull away. After all, it is a very mysterious thing to them. After carving,
, it will be very simple to exceed the value of artworks such as giant ivory on the market."
The preferences of nobles have always been something Cassia doesn't understand. Compared with the big nobles in the four forces, such as the Marquis and Earls, their quality of life seems to be more luxurious. In Cassia's impression, like Ye
Jie Lin's Webley family, as one of the seven giant companies, except for the reception room used to receive customers, the decorations in other places are very simple, unlike in the Marquis and Count family, where there are all kinds of gorgeous decorations in the hall and bedrooms.
Artworks, ivory carvings, paintings by famous artists, reliefs and lamps studded with jewels, furniture and tables made of precious fragrant wood, etc. The two have different levels of appreciation, or there has been a differentiation.
Cassia moved gently to the side of the skull. There was no vague feeling like Blino in his body, which made him relax a little. The feeling of oppression that remained in the Blino area is still deep to this day.
It was deeply engraved in his memory. Even though the operation had reached the second stage and the dragon's blood could be used to stimulate the body's scale formation, Cassia still did not have the confidence to defeat a dragon.
There was only one skull there, about two meters high, without a lower jaw, and the length remained at four or five meters. After erasing the thin layer of ash on it, the white bones exposed were more like top-grade jade.
It looked a bit crystal clear under the light. After getting closer, I realized that under the shadow cast by the light, the hollow skull was filled with something.
They were many bulging black bags. Cassia just touched them lightly with her hand and they were broken into pieces. With the crisp sound of collision, irregular diamonds and jewelry rough shapes fell from the eye sockets like quicksand, and fell on the ground.
Soon they formed a small pile.
The group of prospectors spent several months here, and spent some time cleaning up. The huge bones mentioned in the geologist's diary were also among them. There were many white marks, and Cassia estimated that the group of people would
It serves as a very useful whetstone.
"Why are there dragon bones here? It can't be a coincidence." Two hours later, Cassia's injuries had fully recovered, but it was still a little inconvenient to move. He walked behind the skull and the dust had been wiped away.
, a symbol with unknown meaning is engraved on it, which is exactly the road sign Grote told him.
Cassia has seen this symbol, and it is found on the Brinosaurus skeleton fossils. But it does not have magical power. He remembers that those strange symbols had the power to directly affect his own spirit, and he did not need to take the initiative to remember it.
All the symbols and words are imprinted in the depths of my mind.
"Groat also knows this kind of writing and can use it skillfully. Did he move this skull here?"
"For insurance purposes, is this the protector of the second-generation holy sword? Just because of time and volcanic eruptions, a complete skeleton was forced to be scattered. Then the group of prospectors discovered it and moved him to
Come here." Cassia began to speculate on the actual progress of the matter based on the limited information. It seemed reasonable, but Cassia knew that other things must have happened in the middle, and Grote's preparations should not be limited to these. For that
During the conversation in the spiritual dream, Cassia became more and more skeptical. After all, in his heart, Grote and Sucarius were completely equal. At that time, he entered the military school.
Not long after, he looked like a sincere young man who had just come out of a small town.
"It's too easy to be deceived." Cassia thought that was the image of herself at that time.
More importantly, Cassia has determined that there is no such vague feeling in this skull. Or it could be said that the residual consciousness of the sleeping dragons is not on the skull, but exists in their spines like the Brino region.
Knowing that Grote would definitely hide something, he did not tell all the information here. On those two stone steps, Cassia also found a string of strange words. Perhaps it was because of the cracks on them. This time there were no cracks like before.
A sense of mental oppression.
The rushing water rang in her ears. Cassia put her hand into the water and used a flashlight to reach the end of the underground river. A round hole was illuminated by light. A substantial beam of light rushed into the back of the hole, except for the edge.
Outside the small stone wall and a moss-covered line, the moist darkness swallowed up everything that entered its territory.
"This is a source of snow water that flows into the lake." The cold feeling and slight burning, as well as the lines full of modern texture under the bright light, told Cassia that this place seemed to be more than just a temporary cemetery for the group of prospectors.
Simple.
They had explored this place, the cave network mentioned by Grote. Perhaps the disaster of "germs" was caused by themselves? Suddenly feeling connected to something, Cassia stood still, wanting to catch this kind of disaster.
