In the evening, all the groups got the additional supplies and approached the uninhabited area of the volcano again.
Cressy and Trono also set out in person soon after, walking along a path that was submerged in weeds. They guessed that the prey was probably looking for something, and the appearance of the "germs" should not be a coincidence or natural.
Environmental changes, or phenomena caused by some man-made instrument.
The weather was getting clearer, a lot of clouds in the sky had dissipated, and the white moonlight made the surroundings look even more bleak. The four of them stopped when they could clearly see the huge black shadow of the mountain range. It was not far away from the mountain range.
They could move forward a long distance, but the light green light that gradually appeared around them forced them to stop and think about something.
"Miweijia, please go back first. Without knowing what the 'germ' is, the further back you go, the higher the risk to you." Clexi and others have clearly felt the changes in their surroundings.
The concentration of a certain substance in the air has increased a lot. They can't feel anything strange yet, but the slight touch on their skin makes them alert. Miweijia doesn't seem to be in a good condition now. Among the four,
Only her surgery was in the second stage. She was not in a hurry, but her breathing still became abnormally fast.
"It is directly dissipated in the air. Ordinary gas masks have no effect. Clothes can resist, but only a very small part. It can be said that there is none." Resa took off the breathing mask on his face and sighed.
, "I really don't know what the prey is doing in a place like this. If it's looking for something, then this thing is too special."
"The prey itself has many doubts. Judging from the current situation, it is still within the acceptable range. The three of us can continue to move forward. This is far beyond the range that the prey's perception can cover." Trono took a step forward,
But it can be heard from the tone that he is not very willing. Unknown things will always make people not want to touch them.

Cassia was already very familiar with the cave network. After being prepared, Cassia did not rush to enter the place where the spiral staircase led. He spent a day or two exploring the caves around the connecting hall to make sure that he was entering.
After nothing happened behind the spiral staircase, I opened the round stone slab and walked in.
But it seemed that he did not expect that the stone slab would close automatically. When Cassia reached the middle of the stairs, with a roaring friction sound, the round stone slab returned to the distance at an extremely fast speed, sealing the exit.
There was no way, Cassia could only move him away again, and used the pneumatic sword to dig around the round stone slab, revealing the transmission device inside. It was made of the same material as the ball device, and was mostly worn. Because it could not be destroyed, Cassia
I used a steel cable to violently pull out a piece of the main transmission gear, and then I walked down the stairs again with peace of mind.
About forty meters deep underground, there are also small stone paintings inside the stairwell, most of which have repetitive contents. The further you go down, the more intense the smell of silence in the air becomes. There is also the pollution of white light here, and the concentration
It was much higher than in the hall. The turbulent feeling completely overwhelmed Cassia afterwards. If it weren't for Sukarius's method, maybe the dragon tissues in the body would also be awakened by these feelings.
Every step was taken carefully. Soon, a vast lonely dark space appeared in Cassia's perception. It was far more spacious than the hall above, and the staring beam of a strong flashlight failed to illuminate its end. The light
What appeared below were only pieces of coiled jade-like dragon bones. There were many, many, and Cassia could only find this adjective for a while.
I saw Grote's mark at the top of the stairs, this should be the last place.
"It seems that these sleeping dragons did not appear in the original agreement." Cassia lit a pile of solid fuel at the top of the stairs, and the fire illuminated a small area.
A dragon skeleton was not far from the flames. It was shaped like a bulging mountain. An ordinary rib was the size of three or four adults, with a little reflected fluorescence. The skeleton was very smooth and had not turned into a fossil at all.
signs, but there is no strange writing on it that Brino saw.
Basic consciousness is still hidden in that huge spine. The moment the fire light rose, all the eyes passed through the two empty eye sockets on the skull and focused on Cassia's body.
Cold sweat broke out on my back and forehead for a while. Although I was sure that I had taken away the energy source above, I was still a little scared. What if there was another separate energy source here and it was activated because of sensing something?
, Cassia really didn't dare to imagine the consequences. The moment she stepped out of the stairwell, Cassia was sure of this, because the feeling of "germs" that had always existed around her became very faint.
As for where those "germs" went, he could only think of the explanation that they were absorbed by these sleeping dragons.
It took some time to get wires and lamps to illuminate this vast underground space. It is about twenty times the size of the upper hall. It is a real graveyard of suspended animation. Each dragon is larger than what Brino has seen.
Much larger. Just a preliminary count shows that there are two to three thousand complete dragon bones entrenched here.
It is also an irregular circle. The specific shape should be like a six-pointed star. The coiled keel is scattered from the center point. The ground is very flat, and there is no trace of rest and excavation at all. It appears again on it.
There are strange characters, but they are more like artistic styles. There are also many lines the size of an adult's arm, which are combined into strange patterns, covering most of the ground of the six-pointed star.
Cassia walked around in a circle, using the six-pointed star as the background, and drew it with the paper and pen she brought with her. From the somewhat awkward pattern, it is not difficult to see the meaning inside.
"The circle should represent the sun, the semicircle represents the moon, and these small dots are probably the stars." On the pattern, the sun, moon and stars appear in triangular positions on the background of a hexagram. They are surrounded by
Large or small circles are connected to each other to form the entire complex pattern. The dragon bones placed on the sun, moon and star patterns are also larger than those around them.
"It should be something needed for priestly activities, maybe a symbol of that time, just like the pattern on the imperial flag." Cassia thought, but as a national flag, this pattern seems too cumbersome. It is more like a circle.
The artistic paintings combined with lines, even if they are drawn by Cassia's hands and he has no sense of aesthetics, he can still feel an incomprehensible beauty from them.
I can't say what makes me feel beautiful, I just feel that way, like when I see delicious food when I'm hungry, I instinctively have a strong appetite.
After walking around here for a few times, Cassia did not see the second-generation Holy Sword mentioned by Grote. Instead, at the center of the hexagram, which is the center of this space, a huge stone coffin was placed.
There is Grote's mark next to it, and at the end there is a smiling face drawn casually with a sharp tool, as if to commend those who came here.
Cassia couldn't laugh at all, and couldn't even feel relieved. He kept implying that it was just a psychological effect, but the looks from the dragon bones gave him a lot of pressure.
After walking around the stone coffin, Cassia found no other usable information except for the strange characters and symbols engraved on it. After muttering to herself several times, it was determined that there was no energy source for the dragons to wake up.
Cassia finally breathed out, as if deciding something, he put his hands on the coffin lid, and with a "squeaking" friction sound, he pushed the coffin lid open. (To be continued)
