What Ao Shu and others discovered were ancient architectural reliefs belonging to the survivors.
Many strange creatures appear on the ruined walls, including dire wolves, green-skinned orcs, ogres, eagles, cyclops, behemoths, angels, knights, griffins, humans...
There are some that Xu Zhi has seen and come into contact with, and there are also some that he has never met.
One attack, one defense.
When these creatures attacked, the rebellious werewolves, lizardmen, and humans resisted in various ways.
This includes melee combat, long-range shooting, magic strikes, and beast taming counterattacks.
Facing the huge number of invaders, the number of resisters was pitiful.
Their faces were distorted, they were shouting threats, or they were fighting in all directions. The mood of the resisters was very strange.
This is an outburst that has been suppressed for a long time.
It looks a little weird and scary in shape.
This is why it is called the horror relief by everyone.
Xu Zhi also saw two creatures on the relief: the giant lizard and the wild bull that they had faced in the past few days.
Compared with the size ratio of the creatures on the reliefs, the monitor lizard and the bull have obvious body changes.
Entering reality and adapting to the environment, the creatures began to become different and moved towards another kind of evolution.
"These fighting techniques are primitive, but very effective. At least they are good at hitting these creatures," Ao Shu introduced.
"This knight is holding a big spear and piercing the gorgon's neck. Isn't he afraid of being stared at?"
"Their guns are very long, at least four meters. As long as they hit the snakeskin's neck, they should be able to cause effective damage."
"What if I don't get selected?"
"Anyway, if one of them dies, they still have war horses to support them."
Some of the collapsed boulders were moved back to their original positions by Ao Shu, and the moss, vines, and soil on the boulders were swept away. This allowed Xu Zhi and others to see an almost complete horrifying relief when they came over.
The nearly 100-meter-long relief wall makes everyone think deeply.
The combat skills on the relief are not unique, but they are extremely effective and rigorous in terms of protection or defensive counterattack.
If they face these creatures in the ruins, they can use these methods to deal with the enemy instead of wandering around looking for the weaknesses of these creatures.
"The movements are standardized and neat, and the fighting is simple and effective. This is probably the guarding technique taught to the soldiers by Shicheng's former commanders," said Qian Channel.
"There are too few places where we can learn from each other's strengths, but it's not a bad idea to learn about it," Xu Zhi nodded.
The methods that are effective for low-level cultivators are obviously insufficient for their current level. Apart from being able to understand the creatures of different races, there is not much benefit.
"Where are these two pieces?"
When he reached the end of the relief wall, Xu Zhi saw two large stone walls that had not yet been erected. With Ao Shu's ability, such low-level mistakes should not have occurred.
It was like reading a complete book, and suddenly there was a sequel. He couldn't help but feel a little interested, and wanted to see the creatures carved on the boulder.
"Although there are carvings on these two round boulders, they don't seem to belong to this relief wall. We couldn't find the joint and it was difficult to erect them, so we had to let them collapse here."
Ao Shu pointed at the almost complete relief wall. Although there were gaps everywhere, these two components were not missing.
After fighting all the way, until the end, only these two pieces were left.
The two semicircular boulders seemed to belong to one body, but obviously they could not be spliced together to stand upright.
Xu Zhi glanced at the boulder several times, and then stretched out his thin hands.
The inner energy surged, and with just a slight push, the two boulders stood up.
Six ferocious dragon heads are mixed with snake necks and crocodile bodies. Four strong and powerful thighs are supported in the four directions of the boulder.
The image of the Hydra is extremely lifelike, and Xu Zhi felt that the Ying people might like this kind of sculpture very much.
In the mythology of Ying Kingdom, there has always been the legend of Yamata no Orochi.
It's just that this relief is missing two heads, and he doesn't understand why the good Hydra has only six heads, which seems a bit unworthy of its name.
"This relief is broken just right. It breaks in the middle and divides the monster into three heads on the left and right."
Seeing that Xu Zhi was interested, Li Duohuang also came up and made a complaint first. She also prepared paper and pen on the side. She obviously wanted to prepare for a long-term complaint.
"Many things are destined in the dark. The shape of this crack conforms to the polarity of yin and yang. One side of the three heads on the left is yin, and one side of the three heads on the right is yang. This trend extends to the feet..."
Qian Tong was talking eloquently, and his words made Li Duohuang roll his eyes and quickly raised the white paper.
"I admire you as a theoretical expert. You can crack a huge boulder and come up with a lot of nonsense."
"This is the ancient Dongyue metaphysics. You in Nan'ao don't pay attention to this. Let me tell you, these principles are useful. Everything must be balanced by Yin and Yang. This is of great use. We cultivators cannot do without it if we want to make a fortune.
Open the "metaphysical" money channel.
"I think this boulder is like a giant stone shield," Zuo Qingqing interjected.
Personal understanding of what looks like is different. Xu Zhi rubbed some vague words on the relief.
The four characters "Column of the God of War" came to mind.
"The Kingdom of Taitalia loves peace, but is never afraid of war."
"Strong confidence, face difficulties, turn crises into opportunities, and the war will be won."
…
"Forge the strongest shield and achieve the name of God of War."
…
After groping through the rows of vague words, Xu Zhi roughly understood the content. It was more like some kind of sacrificial inscription or some kind of merit monument.
As long as you have great merit and are recognized by the people of Taitalia, your name will be left on the Column of the God of War for eternity, and you will be prayed and blessed by the people every day.
"The mirror is empty."
The vague words and names, the deserted stone city, made Xu Zhi feel a little emotional.
After all the storms, only a few paragraphs are left.
While stroking these words, Xu straightened his eyes and seemed to see the glory of the past wars in the Kingdom of Taitalia.
Thunder roared in the dark clouds, lightning pierced the sky, and the smell of blood filled the noisy stone city.
Giant axes and shields flew clanging, spears and spears whizzed past, dense rain of arrows covered the sky like locusts passing by, and dull killing cries and short roars resounded throughout the world.
With ferocious faces, bloody swords, low howls, and diffuse smoke, the entire city was enveloped in the tragic atmosphere of primitive fighting.
The piled up remains are ferocious and terrifying, and the thick smell makes people almost suffocated.
Countless attackers fell under the stone wall. Several figures on the wall stood like Mount Tai, brandishing heavy weapons and banging their shields from time to time to resist attacks from everywhere.
When a ray of sunshine broke through the dark clouds, the war came to an end.
The attackers were retreating, and the city was filled with cheers belonging to the victors.
"In the name of the Morston War, Adamina proposes to create the above six ascended gods of war."
"My name is Taize, and I swear to protect Taitalia to the death."
"My name is Alkin, and I swear to protect Taitalia to the death."
…
Xu Zhi felt something was wrong in his mind, and suddenly saw the six people who gave him the name of the God of War looking over.
