Zhou Xueyao frowned slightly as she looked at the large characters on the obelisk, which was about fifteen or six meters tall. From a normal person's point of view, generally no one would bring up the topic of 'eternal life', even though everyone is pursuing eternal life.
.
Also, the word ‘eternal life’ is actually in blood red:
The so-called blood red is not pure red, but a slightly dull, purple-black depressing color. In short, this color does not make people so happy.
These two simple words made the atmosphere at the scene feel unspeakably depressing.
"Madam, do you want to continue cleaning up?" Murong Shan turned to ask Zhou Xueyao.
Zhou Xueyao thought for a while and said: "Let's clean up from the outside first. Be careful and don't be too hasty. Let everyone do a good job of defense.
Also, we don’t have to wait until everything is cleared before exploring. We can explore while cleaning up, which should minimize the risk.”
You are the boss, so whatever you say is what you say. However, Zhou Xueyao's suggestions also have certain value.
Who knows what there is in the ruins that have been buried for hundreds of thousands of years? They are the ruins of an advanced civilization. It seems that it is not incomprehensible that a living dead person really pops out of them.
When everyone was exploring the ruins of Liuli Island, there were robots and a small world inside.
The reason why we don’t dig completely yet is to avoid being alarmed or touching anything. First, explore carefully and look for some clues.
The steel city wall outside should not be broken down, but should be reinforced instead; the first group of people to enter the exploration were wearing third-generation battle armor, and random teleportation talismans, also known as escape talismans, were prepared around their waists.
The first batch of 10 masters in the middle stage of the Dharma Stage went together to explore the interior. The leader was Nan Xiaoyun. The remaining nine were selected from various major forces. Among them, Tan Dingtao, the Tianshu Sword Master of Jiange, was lucky enough to join.
It is said that Tan Dingtao was captured during his first sneak attack on Dayang Group, and now he was finally released. Moreover, the affairs of Tianji Pavilion have been exposed, and there is no need to keep it secret.
And Nan Xiaoyun has now reached the peak of the mid-stage Dharma phase, and is only one step away from reaching the late stage of enlightenment; but Nan Xiaoyun's combat power is exceptionally strong, his reactions are quick, and he has many magical means.
Because he was exploring ruins, Nan Xiaoyun did not use the most commonly used spear, but replaced it with a short stick made entirely of nano-fine iron.
Compared with the long spear, the short stick with eyebrows is more flexible in a small space, the destructive power is not necessarily weak, and it is more in line with Nan Xiaoyun's habits.
A group of ten people carefully stepped into this world hundreds of thousands of years ago and rummaged through the mud that had not been cleaned up.
The first step is to find as much written information as possible. At present, everyone knows nothing about this ruins; although there is some exploration information on Jiange, they only explored on the ground in the past, and never thought that the underground world could be
There is such a huge city.
In fact, the masters of Jiange are still regretting it at this time - why didn't they dig downward in the first place? If they had dug deeper, would the current Jiange be superior to Dayang Group?
Well, there is actually no regret medicine, and Lou Hongyu can only stand outside with jealousy at this time. Fortunately, the first wave of people to enter are from Jiange.
Ten people come from ten different powers, but everyone has simply rehearsed before and can help each other when in danger; no matter how big the danger is, just activate the random teleportation charm.
The ground was simply cleaned. There were twisted, rusty metals everywhere, and some of them were even completely corroded.
Nan Xiaoyun carefully explored forward, and from time to time used his magical power to probe the surrounding ground and building conditions.
Most of the building materials here are steel, and it is a very good kind of steel. Nan Xiaoyun picked up a rusty piece of iron and flicked it, and found that the thing was almost as hard as a spiritual treasure. In other words, these pieces of iron were...
Just polish it and you can use it as a weapon for a master of transformation.
However, in the face of such 'wealth', the ten people present, including those outside the venue, were moved but did not dare to act. After all, it was already meat in the bowl, and they were not afraid of others taking it away.
Nan Xiaoyun used his magical power to lift up a piece of soil, and threw thousands of cubic meters of soil directly outside the wall. Experts immediately moved the soil outside the wall.
The soil was lifted up, revealing the street surface. The street surface is no longer made of steel, but a structure similar to concrete. Compared with steel, although the concrete structure is fragmented, it always remains relatively intact. At least, it will not rust.
.It’s just that the hardening with the soil is serious.
When the soles of his feet stepped on the concrete, Nan Xiaoyun immediately knew something in his mind. The hardness of this concrete is harder than stone, and it is also stronger than the current concrete of Dayang Group.
It is indeed a relic of an advanced civilization.
There are twisted and rusty brackets on both sides. In the process of cleaning with magic and magical powers, some of the severely rusted or broken ones were basically cleaned up. Only the stronger brackets were left.
Suddenly Tan Dingtao whispered: "White bones!"
Nan Xiaoyun turned around and saw a little white, slightly gray 'stone' exposed at the bottom edge of the soil he had just cleaned. He hadn't noticed it just now, but when he looked carefully, it turned out to be white bones.
There was an expert nearby who was immediately ready to remove the soil here. When Nan Xiaoyun and others were ready, the expert started to take action.
This time I was a lot more careful. The soil was peeled off piece by piece, and several skeletons appeared in front of everyone.
Judging from the color and texture of the skeletons, these skeletons should have been at the Golden Core stage during their lifetime, and at most the Nascent Soul stage.
The bones cleaned with magic are very clear, and even the positions of the bones are fixed in their original positions, including those suspended in mid-air.
Nan Xiaoyun knelt down and took a look. There were seven skeletons spread out in a mess. Two skeletons on the left had their waists broken. Their lower body and upper body were five meters apart. It looked like they had been cut in half and were still crawling.
Quite a distance.
The three waist pendants in the middle were obviously fractured, and the lower body was in an unnatural state.
The two on the far right seem to be in good condition, but when you point your fingers down, there are deep scratches on the concrete floor. It seems like something is dragging behind them.
Nan Xiaoyun thought for a while, then turned around and stood next to the skeleton, imagining himself in his shoes.
Nan Xiaoyun seemed to see a group of people running for their lives, but suddenly an attack came down, cutting two people in half on the spot, breaking the lumbar vertebrae of three people, and the other two people were knocked over and were also seriously injured on the spot.
Even though the seven people were seriously injured and on the verge of death, they were still struggling in fear; in the end, something seemed to be dragging them back.
"It seems like there is a monster...eating people?" Tan Dingtao said. Apparently he also saw the problem.
An expert nearby noticed that there was a storage ring on the skeleton's hand, but it could no longer be opened. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and too many things have been erased by time.
Having found the skeleton, everyone at least had a little idea of the city. Nan Xiaoyun said thoughtfully, "It seems that this steel city wall is indeed for internal defense. Something terrible must have happened here.
Everyone, be careful. Don’t explore inside yet, let’s explore the outside of the city first.”
Everyone nodded and began to dig and explore forward. After that, skeletons began to appear one after another, and some even showed signs of being chewed. All kinds of misery were passed on to people hundreds of thousands of years later through the skeletons.
Gradually, the stage of transformation into gods began, and even... skeletons at the Dharma level appeared!
Half an hour later, Nan Xiaoyun and others stood under a steel building that had just been cleaned, frowning collectively.
This is a device similar to a distillation tower for oil refining, but it is more complicated. The rusty outer shell has been taken apart, revealing the same rusty but extremely complex structure inside.
But what really attracts everyone is a steel bracket with an I-beam structure. Although the steel bracket is rusty, it is more than 80 centimeters wide, and the I-beam is more than 12 centimeters thick.
But there was a skeleton nailed to the height of about 8 meters of the I-beam. A dark object similar to a triangular steel structure penetrated the forehead of the skeleton and penetrated the steel pillar behind it.
The bones are as crystal as jade. Even after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion, the jade-like bones can still be seen. When struck with a weapon, there is a sonorous sound of gold and stone.
"At least the skeletons from the late Dharma phase!" Nan Xiaoyun's face was solemn. He himself was from the middle Dharma phase, and he could clearly see the condition of his bones by looking inside. Now, after hundreds of thousands of years of wind and frost, this skeleton is still harder and denser than his own bones.
, transparent.
But Tan Dingtao looked at it and shook his head, "I have seen skeletons from the later stages of the King's Path, but they are worse than this. I think these should be the skeletons from the peak."
Although the King Path does not have spells, its physical quality is better than that of the Dharma Path. Therefore, Tan Dingtao's words made everyone more alert.
Nan Xiaoyun stepped forward to examine the black object nailed to the skeleton. This object resembled a triangular steel structure, with a tip only one centimeter thick and an extremely sharp edge; even after hundreds of thousands of years, it was still as thin as a blade.
The tail is about 1.5 centimeters thick, with a thicker structure and a more regular arc-shaped edge, slightly uneven.
The entire object is about 90 centimeters long, slightly curved, and extremely hard.
"What is this? Looking at the slightly curved shape of the thing, it feels very natural. This...couldn't it be some kind of claw-toed thing?"
Tan Dingtao observed for a long time, his face turned a little pale: "Do you think this thing... looks like... nails?"
"nail?!"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and after observing for a moment, everyone's expressions became even more unsightly.
Nan Xiaoyun gently touched the edge of the nail, searched around the ground for a while, and finally said, "I also think this is a nail. And it should be ejected actively!"
Tan Dingtao thought for a moment and said, "Should we dig inside? I think there must be something inside."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Nan Xiaoyun.
Nan Xiaoyun pondered for a while, then took a deep breath: "No, let's go back! I suspect that... some kind of inhumane experiment is being conducted here! There are some things we need to listen to Madam's advice on!"
