We climbed up together on the head of the beast's stone sculpture. Its body is ten meters long, and its head is particularly large, with a diameter of four to five meters. It didn't feel crowded at all when we sat on it.
The eyes of the giant beast were half-squinted. After careful examination, we found that the left and right eyelids are movable and can be opened with a little force. The eyeball inside is a huge stone ball with a diameter of three feet.
On the left and right, the outer skin is painted with color, which should be used for concealment.
We took out the eye together, and sure enough, a hole was revealed inside, diagonally entering the body of the giant beast, and the space became larger as we went inward.
Only then did we understand the purpose of the pillar at the bottom. It was not just for the eye pattern. It was undoubtedly a very tedious task to open a passage in the belly of this giant beast. If the movement was too violent, the entire statue could easily be destroyed.
The pillars indeed serve as a support.
We drilled along the entrance of the cave. The cave was diagonally downward at first, then gradually became horizontal. After about fifty meters, it had expanded to about two meters in size, and we could walk upright.
At this moment, two black figures suddenly appeared in front of the stone path, standing straight on both sides, seemingly staring at us.
We stopped quickly, and the four of us looked forward in confusion. What on earth was that? Is it a human or a ghost? If it was a human, who could it be? We have just opened this place, how did they get in? Standing there
For what purpose? If it's a ghost, forget it, then...
After waiting for a while, the two black figures were still motionless. We had no choice but to move closer. As the distance got closer, the outlines of the two black figures became more and more obvious. At this time,
The fat man suddenly discovered the problem and said softly: "No, this doesn't seem to be a human being. Why does it have so many hands!"
I focused my sight again, and sure enough, the statue should be facing us sideways, with obviously several arms beside it, like a big spider standing upright. I suddenly realized, isn't that the damn statue we were collecting before?
The three-headed and six-armed stone sculpture you’ve seen in the stone field?
I walked over and took a look, and sure enough, it wasn't the stone sculptures or anything else. It was just that the ones in the quarry were broken and defective, but the ones here were complete.
The two stone sculptures are standing relatively symmetrical. Some places are damaged, and there are broken stones on the ground. They should have been holding something in their hands, but now they are empty.
There are not just these two stone sculptures. Going forward, there are two stone sculptures every few meters, just like soldiers guarding the city. About a hundred meters forward, we finally encountered the real obstacle: a stone gate.
This stone gate is very tall, taller than any gate we have seen before. It is five meters high and more than four meters wide. Although I don’t know how thick it is, I estimate that its weight is at least several thousand.
catty.
There are actually passages on both sides of the stone gate, which are slightly smaller than the one we walked. What caught our attention most was not the stone gate nor the passage, but the several bones on the ground, which were the same as the ones we saw before.
They are modern people, less than twenty years ago. We had already guessed that a group of people had entered here before us, but we did not expect that they would also come here, but why did they die here?
There were four people in total, and their bodies were all lying on the ground. Judging from the distortion of the bones, it seemed that they had struggled violently before they died.
For our own safety, we feel it is necessary to find out the cause of death of these people. We checked their clothes and found that all the bones on their bodies were intact, indicating that they were not injured.
, and there were no signs of poisoning.
When checking the clothes, I found two small holes in a person's clothes. I immediately thought of a possibility. Sure enough, when we removed the man's bones, we saw two metal bullets on the ground.
Clues prove that this person was shot and died, but things have become more confusing. I can understand how this person died, but I can't understand why he was shot. Could it be that there was internal strife among these people here? But what?
Let them be like this?
"At least one person is still alive." Ashue said softly.
I asked her why she said that, and she pointed to the corpses and said that all their luggage was missing.
I suddenly realized, yes, it is impossible for them to come without luggage, and only people will take possession of their luggage**. Combined with the person who was shot and died, it can make people think of many things. There is a hypothesis that when they come here
There were a total of five people, but there was a conflict, and then a melee broke out. In the end, only one person survived. He left here and took everything with him.
But what people don't understand is why they conflict. It's definitely not interests, because this place has not reached the dragon's dormitory, and it is unlikely to be hatred. Otherwise, these people would not come here together, so this situation is very confusing.
It's a bit incomprehensible. I feel like I've overlooked something, but I can't remember it.
Another thing that is incomprehensible is that since the man had won, why did he still leave? We are almost certain that this is the real door to the Dragon Chaser's tomb, why didn't he want to find a way to get in?
"How should we get in?" Monkey asked. His mind was on the stone door, and he didn't pay attention to the bones on the ground at all.
I just realized that these people were already dead. Even if what happened to them had nothing to do with us, the most important thing for us now is to open this stone door and see what is inside.
The problem before us is that this stone door is too big. It is impossible to push it with our strength. It seems that there should be some special settings here. We need to analyze from the original point how this door was built in the first place.
Coming here? The space here is not large, and there cannot be too many people. At that time, we did not know how to use pulleys to lift. It was almost an impossible task to lift such a huge stone door.
"Could it be from above?" the fat man asked.
I thought, this is indeed a great possibility. If there is still space above, just open a slot and a slope, and then push the stone door into the slope, and the stone door can slide into the slot along the slope.
, it does not require much manpower to accomplish this.
If this is the case, it means that this door does not have any mechanism and is completely a closed measure. We do not need to consider opportunistic things and can only forcefully open a way out.
This is not a job that can be completed by one person. The first batch of people who came in must not have thought of this, otherwise, they would not die here.
The material of this stone door is very hard, and it is impossible to carve a way through it. I guess even using explosives may not be able to get it. We can only use the second method, which is to chisel the corner of the stone door.
A few places to set foot, and then I climbed up. If the fat man's guess is true, then the rock above must be very thin, and we can start from there.
Speaking of stealing caves, I don't have much experience, but I'm a little better than the three of them. The two Hunjiang dragons and the monkey, a half-hearted Hunjiang dragon, have no experience at all in the theft caves. At least I have
I have a wealth of theoretical knowledge. I used everything I could use. Of course, except for large items, I couldn't use too much strength on it. I could only slowly use small hammers, chisels and other tools.
cut.
After working for a full hour, my arms and legs were a little numb, but the result was gratifying. The rock formation above is indeed very thin. I have already dug a rock hole the size of a basketball. I guess it won’t work.
In half an hour, a passage can be opened that can fit in.
"It's done." About twenty minutes later, I climbed down the stone door and sat down on the ground as soon as my feet touched the ground. My hands and feet seemed to be cramped and I couldn't exert any strength, but I was very happy in my heart.
, at least the road has been found.
The fat man and the monkey couldn't wait any longer and climbed up along the stone wall. Axue looked at me and climbed up into the cave, leaving me alone sitting below.
I felt a little unhappy. It took me half a day to make a hole, but before I could catch my breath, they left me here alone. How could I not know what the fat man and the monkey were thinking in their heads?
, I guess now their minds are full of precious artifacts.
Just when I thought of this, a rope hung down from above, and Axue's voice came: "Wang Fo, come up quickly, we have to move faster."
Ah Xue is still kind to me. I thought to myself, grabbed the rope and climbed up. There was indeed a slope above, which coincided with our thoughts, but we ignored it and climbed along the stone wall to the top of the stone door.
After I saw that the stone door was two meters thick, I realized how wise our approach was. If we made a hole in the stone door, it would be impossible for the four of us to get it out in more than a month based on the hardness of the stone door.
It is simply a natural barrier.
We crossed the stone gate and came to the other side, which was also blocked by rocks, but it was too easy to open a path here. In less than half an hour, we opened a stone cave two feet wide.
The enthusiasm of the fat man and the monkey was completely mobilized. The fat man took the lead and got into the cave, while the monkey followed closely behind. Seeing their excitement made people speechless.
The space under this stone door is not very large. Of course, in relative terms, it is actually quite wide. It is a square stone chamber, about 20 meters long and wide. There is a copper lamp slave in each corner, and in the middle
There is a stone coffin placed a little further back, which is three meters long and one and a half meters wide. In terms of its size, it is considered a huge coffin.
