A few minutes later, outside the ruins, a skeleton with black nails on its head was lying quietly on the ground. In order to prevent the skeleton from loosening, it was always sealed.
In fact, the seal is not only to maintain the integrity of the skeleton, but also to protect against viruses, etc., which is something only the Ocean Group knows about.
When exploring such relics, one must be cautious. Ordinary viruses and bacteria naturally have no effect on practitioners; but what if they mutate? Don’t forget, this is a relic of an advanced civilization!
Zhou Xueyao squatted down, looked at the black 'nails', frowned slightly, and finally said with certainty after a while: "It is indeed a nail. There are also growth marks unique to nails."
There are longitudinal growth marks on the nails. No one’s nails are as smooth as a mirror.
Although many characteristics of this mutated nail have changed, some basic characteristics can still be distinguished. As the first sister of Dayang Group's medical industry, Zhou Xueyao is also a master in the transformation stage, so she is no stranger to the human body.
By the way, for practitioners, if you want to understand the human body, you don’t need to dissect it. It is enough to directly use your soul to scan the body of ordinary people. The body of an ordinary person cannot block the prying eyes of the soul in the transformation stage.
After hearing that Zhou Xueyao was sure that it was nails, everyone's expressions changed a little.
Murong Shan hit the black nails with his flying sword, but there was a clanging sound, and even sparks came out. As a result, the nails were not damaged at all, but there were a few scratches on Murong Shan's flying sword.
"Hiss... so hard! This is actually a human nail? How is it possible!" Murong Shan was shocked. However, the masters around him were also shocked.
Lou Hongyu said slowly: "I have only seen mutated monsters before. Maybe there are mutated people here? But I have never seen them!"
No one can answer this question yet, but everyone's eyes are looking at the slender black 'nails'.
Zhou Xueyao tapped it lightly and said thoughtfully: "The density of this nail is almost 7 points, almost close to the density of iron."
Nan Xiaoyun waited beside him for a long time and finally said: "Madam, what should we pay attention to in our next exploration?"
Zhou Xueyao thought for a while, "Give yourself some defense, don't breathe the air inside, and pay attention at all times. Remember you have the magical power of your eyes, right?"
"Yes, I have practiced the magical power of Xinghuo Golden Eyes in "Zhou Tian Gong"."
"Then you pay attention and observe. The magical power of Xinghuo Golden Eyes can see foul air, evil spirits, etc. If poisonous gas, etc. are mixed in the air, you will see some strange lights and colors."
Having said this, Zhou Xueyao suddenly turned around and said, "Here are the five more who cultivate the planet fire and golden eyes, let's go in and explore together. Pay attention to safety."
Then Murong Shan also came forward and arranged everyone's battle formation.
Nan Xiaoyun and others entered the ruins again and carefully explored. However, they were masters at the Dharma level after all. No matter how careful and slow they were, it only took them two days to walk around the ruins close to the city wall.
But what they discovered made everyone feel unspeakably uneasy.
Skeletons and the like are already very common; and a lot of things similar to fingernails have also been found. Not only nails were found, but also... hair, if that thing can be called hair.
It was something that looked like steel wires. It was also black and had a metallic texture, but its structure was the same as human hair, slightly twisted.
In addition, we did find written information, but it was different from what we expected. It was some words written on iron sheets and the surface of buildings, and some of them have been preserved.
Most of these things belong to technical terms and factory production terms. For example, temperature control, safety precautions, operating procedures, some slogans, etc.
The discovery of these things should be of little use. However, everyone has discovered a problem from these terms. This city buried underground is by no means a residence, but a factory or even a research base!
"Research base? Isn't that a secret?" Many people's eyes flashed with light. Everyone knows the value of a research base.
However, Nan Xiaoyun poured cold water on everyone: "If it is a research base, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous. I'm a little chilly now. There are more than three hundred Dharma-level skeletons found in this circle. Have you thought about it?
What kind of dangers are there when passing through the center of this research base?"
The corpses of more than three hundred dharma images are enough to make everyone feel slightly chilly. Although hundreds of thousands of years have passed, everyone seems to still be able to feel the tragic scene in ancient times.
Dharma-level masters were hung on the wall like broken dolls. At first glance, it was the result of a battle without the ability to fight back.
Zhou Xueyao spoke again: "Based on the current exploration situation, we can basically conclude that this is a research base, and it is very likely... a life medical research base, or even a human body research base at all.
The research on deliberately building a steel city with a radius of 20 kilometers is by no means simple. I am worried that there are good things in it, but there are even more dangerous things.
This kind of dangerous thing does not exclude viruses, poisonous gases, and elusive soul-influencing methods that threaten master practitioners. It does not even exclude the possibility of robots that can move or even transform people!
We currently don’t know much about that advanced civilization in ancient times, but at least we can know that we are still far behind. So the ancient times were so careful, and even when encountering dangerous projects, we still have to be careful.
I suggest that we continue to explore, but we should still not be greedy for success. We should be like peeling a cabbage, and push forward layer by layer.
If we can’t do it in one day, we can do it in ten days; if we can’t do it in ten days, we can do it in a month.”
During the second exploration, people were changed. However, the second wave of people only explored for half a day and dug into a distance of about 5 kilometers, and everyone was stunned.
A monster appeared in front of everyone.
It was an... iron man with three heads and six arms. 'It' was covered in iron gray. Even if it was half-kneeling on the ground, it was more than three meters tall, and its muscles were like the roots of an old tree. Although it had been buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years, it could hardly see the years.
Mark of.
The two front arms are about two meters long, like iron pillars supporting the ground; the right arm holds a long knife about two meters long, which is usually the so-called Miao knife, but it is lengthened.
The left hand is free, but the nails are three inches long, dark, like a triangular steel structure, and the tip is as thin as a blade. It is the same as the one found before, but a little shorter.
The four hands on the back have black nails of different lengths. One of the hands is holding a skull, and the index and middle fingers are directly above the skull. The other hand is also holding the bones of an arm.
The fighting posture from ancient times seemed to be frozen here. But the bones in the hands exuded the luster of white jade, and they looked like Dharma-level skeletons at first glance.
An unimaginable dangerous aura pervaded from his body, making even the masters of law and fortune-telling unable to help but tremble with fear.
There are many skeletons around this monster. These skeletons are fragmented and piled up randomly. You can imagine what the scene looked like hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was definitely a scene from the Shura world, with broken walls and ruins piled up like mountains.
"Is this thing...dead?" General Liu Jingming of Qixia Kingdom looked at this monster in fear.
Next to him, Gu Changfeng, an elder from the Tiandu Sect, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a slight stutter: "It should be, hundreds of thousands of years ago. You can see that there are still several holes in the monster's chest."
Everyone was so surprised just now that they didn't observe the monster carefully. But they were experts after all, and they gradually came to their senses.
Only then did Liu Jingming observe it carefully. There was no life in this monster, and it looked like a steel sculpture. There was a finger-sized hole between the eyebrows of the front head that was transparent from front to back.
The monster's eyes are still open, but its face is ferocious, but there seems to be some fear of death in its ferociousness.
The eyes are like black gems, even if they no longer have the brilliance of life, they are still shining with exposure. But in these eyes, there is a kind of savagery, madness, and unwillingness that seems to be at the last moment of life.
There were still several holes in the body, but Liu Jingming concluded that the fatal injury should be between the eyebrows.
After confirming that the monster was indeed dead, Liu Jingming stepped forward to observe carefully. The monster's body was countless times harder than steel. Liu Jingming struck it with a flying sword made of nano-fine iron, but sparks flew out and it was almost impossible to cause any damage.
.On the contrary, the flying sword actually curled its blade!
Liu Jingming looked at his flying sword and was speechless.
But when he looked at the wounds on the monster's body, Liu Jingming became extremely vigilant. This monster was so powerful that killing a Dharma master was as easy as crushing an ant. It must have moved as fast as lightning. But it was completely attacked by some kind of attack.
The hole penetrates the eyebrow.
What kind of attack was that?
Liu Jingming took a deep breath and reached out to touch the wound on the monster's body. The tentacles were cold and felt like steel sculptures. The wound was extremely smooth, as if it had been finely polished.
Seeing Liu Jingming take action, everyone came forward to visit.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this monster is still in the same condition as yesterday. If it weren't for the fact that there were still some hardened soil and sandstone on it that had not been cleaned, it would probably be regarded as a sculpture.
It has maintained this posture for hundreds of thousands of years until now.
"This knife is good!" A master next to him took a fancy to the two-meter-long Miao knife in the monster's hand. Unfortunately, this guy couldn't pry the monster's fingers apart at all.
"What the hell!" The expert finally gave up helplessly. His fingers were almost swollen, and he couldn't even pry the monster's fingers apart.
Liu Jingming took a deep breath, "This monster is stronger than the top spiritual treasures. So how did these wounds appear?"
"Not a rail gun?" Gu Changfeng asked tentatively.
"The wounds caused by the rail guns appear to be smooth, but if you touch them carefully, you will find that they are full of fine burrs. Moreover, the wounds caused by the rail guns will radiate in the shape of a trumpet.
And this wound is about the same thickness from front to back, and as smooth as a mirror. This must be an attack method we don’t know about!"
After everyone checked for a while and determined that the monster was no longer dangerous, they moved the monster out and asked Zhou Xueyao to check it.
