After William replied to Terra, he led two mercenaries forward, took out a tactical flashlight, and then carefully inspected the heavy armor soldiers, elephant soldiers, etc. in front of him.
Of course, after Chen Mo and others retreated for a while, they were responsible for guarding in groups.
William used a flashlight and other light sources to examine them, not caring that there was anything scary about these bones. What they are worried about now is that when they are observing the bones in front of them, if they are not paying attention, they can directly punch themselves or stab themselves to death with a spear. Wouldn't that be tragic?
Fortunately, no matter how William looked and observed, he even poked at it with a gun out of worry. The bones were still bones, and the entire armor and everything else had not changed at all. These bones did not react at all, nor were they affected. Poke it away!
Another mercenary even used the butt of his gun to directly hit the bones under his armor. With a "Bang!" sound, such a sound resounded throughout the cave, but there was still no change.
As a result, the mood of William and the other three mercenaries relaxed.
My heart was beating a little too fast before, almost over 160! hehe! This was his own estimate, maybe it was only one hundred and twenty-three.
After touching the sweat on his head, he finally didn't have to worry about Bones raising his hand to attack him with a spear. It was really not easy.
After confirming again, he said to Terra: "Safe, these are not monsters, they are just people and elephants who died here, and they are all turned into bones now!"
The other mercenaries had been staring at the movements of William and the other three, fearing that an armored skeleton around them would move. They kept their foreheads and fingers on the triggers to prevent the three of them from being suddenly attacked. Hearing William's words at this time, everyone felt relieved. It would be better if they were not monsters. This would be the best result. I have encountered too many monsters in the underground space, and now everyone's heartstrings are a little too tight.
"Stay alert!" Terra ordered the mercenaries around her, then stepped forward with a gun to observe for herself. It's not that he doesn't believe William, but he has more checks and confirmations, which can reduce the deaths of the team members in case of a mistake.
Terra also followed William. After checking carefully with a flashlight, she poked the skeletons again with her handgun and found that they still had not changed into anything. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with these bones.
Terra used the intercom device to report the results of his observations to the superhuman behind.
"If it's a monster, then even if there are only bones, the eyes should be bright. But now, there is nothing in the eyes, just eye sockets, which are all empty." William said to Terra.
"Yes, I don't think these will turn into monsters." Terra also nodded.
"However, with so many skeletons standing here, it's really shocking!"
"It's only a few dollars. If it's really over one hundred thousand, then the momentum will be even more shocking!"
"I feel like I can't see it anymore."
"However, I am a little curious, where did these skeletons come from?"
William said: "I think these were people and elephants in the past, and they should have been sent here when they were alive. So the flesh gradually rotted after staying here, which caused a huge smell of decay when I just opened the door. Come out. This happened after these people and elephants decomposed. In the past, burial was a very common phenomenon."
After Terra read it, she felt that William had said the same thing, so she nodded and said, "That's good. Since it has become bones, it is a good thing for us!"
"What?" William was a little confused.
"These bones, although scary to look at, are actually transformed after death, so they will not become monsters and then attack us." Terra said.
"Haha! That's impossible to say!" William objected.
Terra waved her hand, indicating not to raise any objections. There were mercenaries around her now, and saying the wrong thing could damage morale.
William chuckled and said again: "Tella, you said these things died and then rotted to become what they are now. But look at them, they are still standing upright. Why?"
"Let me try and you will know soon?" Jackson heard this on the side and walked directly to an armored soldier, took out the butt of his gun and gave him a hard blow!
Terra originally wanted to stop him, but when he turned around and thought of testing it, he stopped and just watched.
"Bang!" With a sound, the butt of the gun hit the armor, making a metallic collision sound, but the soldier in front of Jackson did not scatter or hit the ground!
"What?"
Everyone was surprised, it was incredible! With such great power, these armored soldiers who had turned into skeletons still did not fall to the ground. They were really standing firm!
During the previous observation, some people also used guns to hit them, but they were all without force. But this time, it was very hard!
This time, it attracted everyone's interest. Even the superpowers behind them came forward to observe why these armored soldiers were able to stand like this for nearly a thousand years!
Let’s call this cave the Tibetan Soldier Cave!
There were tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of war elephants at the scene! If this kind of corps reached ancient times, it would have absolute high-end combat power, and it would be possible to unify all countries in Southeast Asia with this corps.
You know, in the Khmer era, it was basically rare for a soldier to wear full body armor, especially in such tropical areas. Not only because of the weather, but also because of the lack of iron tools and the maintenance of armor, etc. Especially in the rainforest, it often rains and gets wet. If this kind of armor is not properly maintained in such an environment, it will be rusted and damaged.
A set of full body armor was worth thousands of gold in ancient times. In some ancient dynasties of China, folk swords, guns and sticks were not prohibited, but the first thing that was prohibited was armor, and then crossbows and arrows!
In the former, armor is a necessary thing for a warrior to protect himself, while in the latter, armor can be used on the battlefield with just a little training. Therefore, if a set of armor belonged to an ancestor who was not a general, he would be beheaded without any discussion.
Armor is the root of rebellion against the imperial court!
Nowadays, in movies and TV shows, a person without any armor can kill a person wearing full armor with a sword. The attack is not on the face, but on the area protected by the armor. This kind of thing, just look at it. Okay, this is really funny!
Armor was so valuable and important in ancient times, so it naturally had its place. If a sword wants to damage armor, it really needs to be struck hundreds or thousands of times. What armorers fear most is blunt weapon damage. Many times, blunt weapons are used to attack heavy armored soldiers. Therefore, the heavily armored soldiers were not stabbed to death, but beaten to death with blunt objects.
But in this soldier-hiding cave, tens of thousands of full-body armors now appeared, which amazed everyone! Tens of thousands of soldiers in full armor were definitely a terrifying force at the time.
Especially when you think about the armored monsters you encountered when you entered this airflow circle, the predecessors of these monsters were definitely humans. The number of those monsters is probably close to 6,000!
This amount plus the amount here, haha! The troops are strong!
Everyone gathered around the armored soldiers, wondering why they were all turned into skeletons and how could they still be standing?
"Is there a steel drill inserted underneath so that it can be supported?"
Someone immediately retorted: "Although there was steel in the ancient manufacturing process, it was all refining and so on. How could this happen with steel brazing? Bairean is not suitable for ordinary fields."
“Or maybe you can’t stand up until you have iron nails driven into the soles of your feet?”
"Even if there are iron nails, won't they decay after a thousand years? Besides, you can take apart the armor and see if there are iron nails, wouldn't you know?"
"that's true!"
"Also, even if there are iron nails to fix the feet, as for the body, these people have turned into skeletons, how can they not fall?"
"Isn't there armor outside?"
"But what about inside the armor? How can the bones be so strong? Listen!" As he said that, he knocked on the exposed bones, and a sound of "Bang Bang!" was heard. The bones seemed to have a hard feeling. .
Someone has taken the armor apart. Although it is difficult to take apart, because after nearly a thousand years, some of the connecting parts have become soft, so it can be taken apart with strength.
After the entire armor is dismantled, a complete skeleton can be found. And this complete skeleton is still standing, but there is no support on the skeleton's feet and heels. These soldiers stood as if relying on their armor!
But why are these skeletons intact? And what can be used to prevent them from falling apart?
While everyone was talking about it, Tina also stepped forward to investigate out of curiosity. Mental power is easy to use, and after careful exploration, I can almost figure it out.
Yam saw Tina smile and stepped forward and asked: "Captain, what did you see?"
Tina nodded and said, "I can see something."
"There is nothing wrong with this armor, but there is something wrong with the shoes worn by these skeletons. These shoes are long-shoes, and they are connected to the armor's skirt. The shoes should actually be made later, and use a lot of iron. It is very heavy, and after being connected to the armor, it becomes a structure with light top and heavy bottom, just like a tumbler."
"Oh?" After Yam heard Tina's explanation, he took a special look and found that it was indeed a pair of iron shoes that were very big and had thick soles, so they looked like a tumbler.
In this way, it can be seen that these armors are unique. So why are there so many soldiers here?
