At this time, Nicholas was about to insert the engineer's shovel into the bottom of the pit. When he came up to rest, he suddenly knocked it down and heard a bang.
Nicholas also discovered that the sound did not sound like hitting a rock.
Instead, it felt like it had been knocked on something metal.
"What the hell?"
The captain and others also heard the sound, so they all jumped down.
"Dig it up and take a look."
So they also carefully removed the floating soil on it.
No wonder the thing in the picture also reveals its shape.
It turned out to be a square metal box.
It's almost sixty centimeters long and forty centimeters wide.
Judging from the pattern on the surface, the production is quite exquisite.
Then I dug down and found that the box was at least forty or fifty centimeters high.
The capacity is quite large.
“Holly shit, this thing is so heavy, let’s help each other!”
Nicholas, who was originally very tall, planned to use his own strength to lift the box out, but found that his own strength was simply not enough.
So it refers to inviting everyone to help.
So everyone also cleaned out the four corners of the box so that they could have a place to exert their strength, so each person lifted one corner.
"I'll count one, two, and three and work together."
Everyone worked hard together and finally lifted the metal box out.
"What's in it?
Why is it so heavy?"
Zhang Long and the four of them can lift at least one ton of things. I didn't expect such a broken box to be so heavy.
They had already used up all their efforts just to get him out of the pit. It seemed like a lot of work to get him to the ground again.
"How about you open it below."
At this time, Zhang Long said: "Don't open it yet. Let's clean up the soil on the box. It seems to me that the patterns on the box should be several patterns.
Maybe the patterns will tell us what's in the box."
"What's Fei doing?
Just open it and take a look."
Zhang Long shook his head and said to everyone: "It's better to be careful. Who knows if this is Pandora's box?"
Several of them were Westerners and had never heard of other stories. Everyone knew about Pandora's Box. When Zhang Long said this, everyone showed cautious expressions on their faces.
After all, several of their companions died inexplicably. Now that they encounter something like this, they naturally need to explore it. This will also help them understand the world view of this deserted island, but they must be careful.
It's just that it's really difficult for them to clean the dirt on the surface of the box. They are all old men doing this kind of slow and meticulous work, so naturally they lack patience.
"Find someone to go up and stand guard in case something unexpected happens."
"I go!"
Nicholas also volunteered. He hated doing these delicate tasks like embroidery.
So he said that he had climbed out of the pit and set up his weapons to monitor the entrance of the valley.
If anything goes wrong, fire suppression can be carried out at any time, so that Simmons, the captain and Zhang Long will have time to get out of the pit and enter a fighting state.
So several other people stayed in the pit to do embroidery work.
It was obvious that Zhang Long's guess was not wrong. The patterns on the box were obviously made up of stories.
Each side of this box is a painting. If you connect them all together, they can form a story.
The first painting is a golden palace.
There were countless guards standing on both sides, and in the middle sat the king and his queen wearing strange-shaped crowns.
Even the content is carved in relief on the surface of the metal box.
You can also see that the queen looks quite pretty.
But Zhang Long still seemed to think the queen looked a little familiar.
Looking carefully, Zhang Long also laughed a little.
I don't think it is possible at all, because the queen looks a bit like Zhang Xiaotong.
But here comes the problem. This box must have been buried in this place for at least a long time.
Although Zhang Long is not an expert in archaeology, he can conclude from the way the box was dug out that the box must have been purchased for at least several decades.
This is Zhang Long's lowest estimate, and it might be possible within hundreds or thousands of years.
And under the steps in front of the king and queen stood a man in black robes.
The second painting.
It is said that the man in black robe slowly walked up the steps, took out something from the bag on his waist, and then sprinkled it on the steps.
The king and queen were watching the movements of the man in black robes intently.
The third painting shows the man in black robe stopping his movements and then standing on top of the black stuff he spilled on the steps.
Generally speaking, these words are like comic strips, completely different from the murals Zhang Long saw before.
Each mural has a content.
Although it can also be connected in series, it is not as coherent as this.
Next, Zhang Long and Simmons were also preparing to look at the fourth painting.
When I saw the fourth painting, I found that the man in black robe had disappeared, but his figure appeared behind the king and queen.
Seeing this, Zhang Long, the captain, and Simmons all looked at each other in confusion.
Doesn’t the scene here represent the black-robed fish-headed man who appeared out of thin air at that time?
Judging from the picture displayed on this box, it means that there was originally a small country on this desert island.
The king and his queen lived in the palace made of bronze.
Then one day suddenly a black-robed fish-headed man came to visit.
He threw something dark in front of the king and their queen, and then stood up.
Then he disappeared out of thin air and came directly behind the king and queen.
Then the island became what it is now.
"It turns out that everything was caused by that thing, but what on earth is that fish-headed man?"
"Don't worry, let's look at the last painting."
The first painting is on top of the box, and the second to fifth paintings continue clockwise from the front of the box.
So at this time everyone also moved to the last painting.
Mainly because the metal box was too heavy, and everyone had to move their positions to view the paintings on the box.
This fifth painting shows a fish-headed man.
With one hand, he grabbed the frightened queen tightly and wanted to run away, but something like a straw came out from his mouth and stabbed into the king's head.
And all the guards on the steps looked like they were ready to rush to the rescue.
