The reliefs on the tomb walls on both sides are all weird reliefs of human faces.
The reason why these reliefs are weird is because there are some strange creatures carved on the foreheads of these human faces. These creatures are very delicately carved. A slight comparison between the two can be seen. When the craftsmen were carving, they had a lot of care for them.
The latter is more attentive.
There were no novices present, so everyone could recognize that these creatures were all tomb beasts, but all the reliefs of the creatures did not have eyes engraved on them, which made them look very strange.
Slowly walking along the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan suddenly saw a familiar relief.
There is a relief sculpture with a human face and three bronze fish with snake eyebrows carved on it.
This made Chen Ziyan stop subconsciously. According to the information he knew, the snake-eyebrow copper fish was Wang Zanghai's personal logo in a certain sense.
Therefore, there is a relief of a snake-browed copper fish here, which is likely to hide some information.
Looking carefully with the help of the searchlight, Chen Ziyan discovered that the human face as a carrier was fundamentally different from other face reliefs. It was a face with obvious female characteristics, while the other face reliefs were all male.
The three snake-eyebrow copper fish on the human face are connected end to end, forming a unique ring shape, which results in the shape of each snake-eyebrow copper fish being different.
"ring?"
Looking at this ring made of snake-browed copper fish, Chen Ziyan somehow suddenly thought of the undersea tomb where they were.
If the pattern of the undersea tomb did not change, then this place could also be regarded as a special circulation space. He felt that there might be a connection between the two.
However, there are too few clues at hand now, and Chen Ziyan is not sure whether his idea is correct.
After remembering all the details of the relief in front of him, Chen Ziyan continued to move deeper into the tomb passage.
After a while, when he saw the relief of the snake-browed copper fish again, he immediately discovered the problem.
The reliefs on both walls of the tomb passage were also cyclical, repeating themselves at regular intervals. However, he always felt that something was wrong, but could not find where the problem occurred for a while.
It wasn't until Chen Ziyan saw the snake-browed copper fish relief for the third time that he realized something was wrong. It was the reliefs of human faces that served as carriers that had changed.
The eyes of the human faces in the first round of reliefs were closed, but in the second round, the eyes of these reliefs opened slightly. However, this change was too subtle, and he was not paying attention at the time.
It was on the biorelief on the human face, so I couldn't notice it.
But in the third round of reliefs in front of him, the eyes of these faces had changed even more, and a crack had been exposed, so he noticed it.
At this moment, Dong Yanxia touched Chen Ziyan, and when he saw him looking over, he raised the underwater drawing board in his hand, and saw that it read:
"Mr. Chen, there is something wrong with these human face reliefs. They are opening their eyes!"
Are they opening their eyes?
When he first saw this sentence, Chen Ziyan subconsciously thought that Dong Yanxia had also discovered the change in the relief, but then he realized that it was wrong, because if that was the case, there was no need to describe it like this.
Dong Yanxia's words don't seem to be describing a dead object like a relief. Instead, they read like they are describing... some kind of living thing?
Perhaps sensing Chen Ziyan's doubts, Dong Yanxia pointed at the path behind them.
Chen Ziyan frowned slightly. He understood what the other party meant. There was also a problem with the relief at the back.
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan made a gesture to alert others, while he slowly retreated with Hua Hu.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the relief could open its eyes!
The masculine face reliefs remained unchanged, but when Chen Ziyan saw the second round of female face reliefs again, his heart sank suddenly.
Because the eyes of this relief are indeed different from before. They are not slightly open, but more like the third round of relief he just saw, with a gap exposed.
The relief sculpture actually opens its eyes!
After confirming this, Chen Ziyan left here without hesitation.
Logically speaking, he had to observe it, but he knew better that if these reliefs were really alive, staying in this tomb passage was definitely not a good choice.
What's so fishy here? It's not too late to come back and explore it later when you're ready. It's better to leave now.
Quickly returning to the team in front, Chen Ziyan said nothing, but just motioned for everyone to follow him.
But although he didn't say anything, his performance was enough to explain the problem.
Most people had seen the exchange between Chen Ziyan and Dong Yanxia just now, and knew that they must have discovered something, and now Chen Ziyan's performance has undoubtedly been verified.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense. Although these people are all good players and have a lot of relevant experience, there should still be tension, but they can only be restrained.
There was no longer a group of people observing while walking, the speed became very fast, and they passed the fifth round of reliefs not long after.
Although Chen Ziyan did not stop to take a closer look, he would take a look at the female face relief engraved with a snake-eyebrow bronze fish when he passed by.
When he saw the changes in the relief eyes, his heart couldn't help but sink, because most of the eyes on this human face had already been opened, and it looked like they would all open soon.
According to their previous speculation on the length of the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan estimated that they would have to go through eight rounds of reliefs before they could reach the end of the tomb passage.
And they can't care too much about speed. After all, they are in the water, not the more familiar land. If they move forward at full speed, their vigilance will be greatly reduced, which is not a good choice for them.
This also leads to a result, that is, they may not be able to leave this tomb passage before the eyes of the relief are completely opened.
After thinking about this possibility, Chen Ziyan hesitated and did not tell anyone else about it.
Now is not the time, partly because he doesn't want to disturb people's hearts, which may lead to worse results.
The development of the matter was exactly as Chen Ziyan expected. When they passed the seventh round of reliefs, the eyes of the female face relief had been completely opened, and it seemed that they would all open soon.
This also means that the time when the eyes of these reliefs are fully opened is just before they arrive at the eighth round of reliefs, or at the same time they arrive.
Chen Ziyan was mentally prepared for the worst as to what would happen at that time.
Even if the relief suddenly came to life and walked down the tomb wall, he wouldn't be surprised.
However, with this thought in mind, Chen Ziyan still held the weapon in his hand.
