As the altitude increases, the field of vision also broadens, allowing Chen Ziyan and others to see more.
They soon discovered that there were not just the remaining ribs of the ancient god here, but more accurately, a mutilated skeleton of the ancient god. The most obvious evidence was the surrounding ribs of different lengths, but these ribs were incomplete.
Even more serious, some even only have a little bit of the root left, so it is not easy to find in low places.
And when everyone reached the ridge at the end of the ribs, everyone inevitably had mood swings.
The ridge bone is still wrapped with that kind of plant fossil, but the width of the ridge pillar is extremely wide, just like a vast platform standing in the air. If it were not much lower than the Jade Mountain, it would definitely be the most conspicuous existence in this underground space.
.
The emergence of this ridge pillar platform also gave Chen Ziyan and the others a deeper understanding of the ancient god's body shape.
Now they know that the Tibetan people in blue robes said that some ancient gods can stand shoulder to shoulder with mountains. It was not a metaphor with rhetorical techniques, but a simple and unpretentious realism without any exaggeration.
"It's really unimaginable that such a powerful creature would die abnormally." Shirley Yang glanced at the broad spine in front of her and said sincerely.
To be honest, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a terrifying creature existed in this world. This was simply adjusting her worldview.
To say that the thing that appeared in front of her was a plant fossil that covered the sky and the sun, Shirley Yang might not be so surprised. After all, the growth cycle of plants is very long, which provides them with sufficient basic conditions to break through their limits, and so far
There are still some incredible giant plants left in the world, so it is not something difficult to accept, but such a creature that is far beyond the ordinary and even imaginable is not acceptable.
Shirley Yang was not the only one who was surprised. It can be said that except for Chen Ziyan and the blue-robed Tibetan, the faces of everyone else in the team were also filled with uncontrollable shock after seeing the scene in front of them.
After all...this is indeed a bit exaggerated.
However, after hearing Shirley Yang's lament, they also realized the key to the problem. If according to what the blue-robed Tibetans said, the remains of the ancient gods here came from ancient gods who died abnormally, then they could kill them.
How powerful should the existence of killing be?
What’s even more shocking is that the skeleton under their feet is most likely the work of the first-generation ghost mother. It’s not like they haven’t seen the glacier crystal corpse transformed by the first-generation ghost mother. Although they can’t see it clearly, they are obviously still there.
Within the normal body shape range of humans.
They have measured the size of the skeleton with themselves, and there is no way to compare them with each other in proportion. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine if this skeleton is really the work of the first-generation ghost mother, how she did this. This is the most difficult thing for the imagination.
For the rich Chen Ziyan, it is a bit beyond his capabilities.
After Chen Ziyan thought for a while, he could only agree and said: "Time has buried too many truths. Now it seems that the distant wilderness era was a world that we can hardly imagine."
In fact, Chen Ziyan's words were not just perfunctory, he was indeed shocked by it. Although he already had a basic concept of the ancient gods, when such 'evidence' really appeared in front of him, it would be impossible to say that he felt calm inside.
Possible.
This topic did not continue and soon came to an abrupt end.
Because everyone knows very well that regardless of whether this skeleton was created by the first-generation ghost mother, irrefutable evidence has been placed in front of them.
"Lao Hu, where should we go next?" After a moment of silence, Chen Ziyan looked at Hu Bayi and asked.
According to the plot he knew, after leaving the Jade Mountain, you can reach another sacrificial place by walking northward.
But the situation he was facing now made him a little unsure of his own thoughts, so he planned to ask Hu Bayi for his opinion on this matter.
After observing the still-trembling dome for a while, Hu Bayi gave his answer: "We should continue walking north now. After leaving this skeleton, we should be able to reach the destination area."
When he spoke, he also pointed to the other rib corresponding to the way they came up, indicating that this was the road he was talking about.
After receiving this answer, Chen Ziyan nodded slightly: "Then continue walking north."
This was the same answer he got from his memory, but the process was slightly different.
They immediately walked towards the rib at the other end, but what they didn't expect was that the rib beam did not naturally fall to the ground, but led to a crystal canyon in an almost parallel posture.
This crystal canyon looks like a steep rock wall that has been cut open by someone. At the end of the rib beam, there is a city wall made of crystal stones of the same material.
This is a very thick city wall. Except for the faint traces of the connection between the crystal boulders, there are no flaws on the surface. It seems that it is extremely difficult to climb.
Under this huge crystal wall that blocks the way, there are three door openings that look very short. However, these door openings do not have corresponding city gates. The most eye-catching thing is not these, but the one in the center of the huge wall.
The giant eye totem is carved everywhere. I don’t know what kind of paint was used for this giant eye totem. It is still as bright as before today. It looks like the giant eye is dripping blood, giving off an unspeakable evil feeling.<
/p>
Because of the existence of this bloody giant eye, everyone did not rush into the giant wall, but stopped outside to wait and see.
After all, they don't know what the giant bloody eye symbolizes. If there are taboos behind the wall like the fluorescent tunnel in front, then rushing in recklessly is really not a good choice.
Although they also really want to find another place for giant sacrificial rituals, sometimes haste makes waste, and the minimum exploration work still needs to be done.
Shirley Yang knew that it was time for her to appear on the stage, so she took the initiative to say without waiting for anyone else to ask: "According to the information we collected, there is only one way for the Evil Luohai people to lead to the altar. This is what they have always said.
They all abide by the rules, so if there is really another sacrificial place behind the huge wall in front of us, then there should be a road behind these three doorways."
Then she looked at the giant blood-dropping eye that was full of evil feelings, and said: "It corresponds to the reminder of closing the eyes in the previous god, and there are also a large number of eye totems seen in the Evil Luohai City. I think these patterns correspond to
For the people of Evil Luohai, it is likely that in addition to being a totem, it also has a marking function, such as warning or dividing areas. I think the meaning of the blood-dropping giant eye probably refers to the forbidden area behind the giant wall.
It is a kind of secret restricted area, which means to warn visitors not to break in rashly."
"Ms. Yang, do you mean there is danger behind this wall?" Although Wang Kaixuan felt dizzy, he still accurately grasped the key point.
"That's about it." Shirley Yang nodded gently.
There was only a giant eye totem in front of her. How could she see much? This was the only thing she discovered.
Hu Bayi walked around in front of the huge wall, and soon made a discovery near the wall. He found some dry things similar to fish scales there, and also found some slimy liquid near the doorway. He suspected that the so-called
The danger should be related to this.
The fish scales have long since dried up, which doesn't prove anything, but the slimy liquid is probably left recently, which means that there is probably some kind of creature living behind this giant wall, and through the fishy smell that the liquid constantly emits, he has
Reasons to suspect that this creature is an amphibian similar to the spotted dragon.
"Old Hu, this shouldn't be left by the striped dragon." Chen Ziyan thought for a while, then quickly shook his head and said.
Firstly, he had already remembered what kind of creature left the liquid, and secondly, the doorway in front of him was impossible for the striped dragon to pass through.
Hu Bayi was a little confused at first, but after noticing the way Chen Ziyan looked at the doorway, he immediately thought of it.
After he made the judgment about amphibious creatures, the first things that came to his mind were the spotted dragonfly and the king salamander, which he thought were the most likely creatures.
But they ignored that with the width of this doorway, no matter which one it is, the spotted dragon or the overlord newt, there is no way to pass through smoothly.
"I think the problem shouldn't be big. You can tell by looking at the doorway that the things inside are not that big, so it will definitely not be difficult to deal with them." Wang Kaixuan advocated going in directly.
He felt that as long as his body shape was not too exaggerated, he could easily deal with it with the gun in his hand, so there was no need to look forward and backward here.
Chen Ziyan glanced at Hu Bayi and saw that he was also nodding silently, so he didn't want to dwell too much on this issue and planned to lead everyone directly into the giant wall through the doorway.
They don't have many choices now. One is to go in directly from here, and the other is to find a way to climb to the top of the giant wall and enter from there.
The first way is to face possible dangers head-on. The second way is to give yourself a buffer time. If there are really extremely difficult things inside, there is no way to climb up and attack them.
But Chen Ziyan felt that there was no need to waste that time. Although the creatures behind the wall were indeed ferocious, they were nothing to them. Compared to the spotted dragons in the wind-eroded lake above, they were really nothing. p>
However, they did not set off immediately, but simply repaired outside the giant wall. After all, the journey was somewhat exhausting, and no one knew what they would encounter behind the wall, so they simply took this opportunity to rest.<
/p>
After a short rest, everyone, who had regrouped, got into the short cave one by one under the leadership of Chen Ziyan.
The length of this short hole was about three meters, so they quickly came to the other side of the giant wall. After exiting the short hole, Chen Ziyan felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and what he saw was a magnificent underground canyon. This canyon
Compared to the crystal world outside, the gray rock walls looked a little lifeless in stark contrast, but Chen Ziyan didn't care much about this.
Because he knew very well that the situation with crystals behind him was a special case, and the dark and gloomy scene in front of him should be the common state underground.
Holding a searchlight and looking around, Chen Ziyan found that the sides of the canyon were extremely steep, no less steep than the huge wall behind him. The only difference was that the cliffs of the canyon were not as smooth.
After checking the surroundings of the giant wall, everyone who found nothing found began to head towards the depths of the canyon.
However, after advancing about a hundred meters, they made a new discovery. Compared with the bare ground at the entrance of the canyon, Chen Ziyan and the others now had countless criss-crossing skeleton fossils in front of them.
These bone fossils are extremely huge. Although they are not as good as the bones of the ancient god, they can still be regarded as huge. In front of them is a triangular skull, which is several times larger than an ordinary house. The specific body shape of this creature is also
You can imagine.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the skull and asked, "This should be a snake bone, right?"
He felt that with such a skull shape, it would be difficult to find other creatures besides snakes, and the Demon Country also had a tradition of offering giant snakes, so there was nothing wrong with the presence of giant snake bones here.
Shirley Yang shook her head and said: "Of these bones, only the skull looks like a snake, and none of the body parts look like a snake."
Although many of the bones here have become fossils, and some are even grown together with rocks, some are exposed. These are enough to make a preliminary judgment.
After studying it carefully, Shirley Yang said: "I think these bones look very much like Basilosaurus. How could a snake have such big ribs?"
Then she explained to everyone about the information about Basilosaurus. This creature lived in the late Eocene Epoch at least 30 million years ago. It is an ancient marine mammal that has long been extinct. She once observed the Basilosaurus up close.
The fossils of whales are very similar to these.
Anyway, Shirley Yang feels that even if these bone fossils are not Basilosaurus, they should be similar creatures and definitely not left by snakes.
"Don't worry about what they looked like when they were alive. They have been dead for who knows how many years now. Let's get down to business now and don't study this." Chen Ziyan waited for her to finish and immediately stopped the others from continuing to discuss the idea. He is not interested in this point, and he doesn't think it is worth exploring.
But just when he was about to move on, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him stop subconsciously. He looked at Shirley Yang and asked: "Shirley, you just said that these bones are thousands of
Left behind by living creatures that were active thousands of years ago?"
Shirley Yang was a little confused, but she still answered him honestly: "I'm not sure. If these bone fossils really come from Basilosaurus, they are most likely from 30 million years ago. If there are other similar ones,
For living things, this time will have to be pushed back a bit, but I think it will definitely not be less than 20 million years."
"At least 20 million years ago?" Chen Ziyan muttered in a low voice.
Even so, it’s surprising.
If his guess is correct, the secrets hidden in this world are far beyond his imagination.
