"Damn it, isn't this the weird bird we met in Changbai Mountain?"
Looking at the statue that Wu Xie had cleaned up, Fatty simply took a breath.
This thing looks almost exactly like the strange bird they once saw in the underground cracks of Changbai Mountain. The carving is extremely vivid. It seems that the surface of the mountain stone should have been coated with paint at the beginning. If it were not covered with moss, most people would see it. This statue must have thought that strange bird flew here from Changbai Mountain.
It was the first time for Lu Yao to see a human-faced bird, and he went up to take a look with some curiosity.
"Is this the legendary bird with a human face? It's too ugly."
Several people worked together to scrape away the other carvings one by one. Inside were stone carvings of human-faced birds, some large and some small, with different shapes.
Aning looked at these stone carvings and said: "This is the totem of the Queen Mother of the West, the prototype of the Three Blue Birds. The Queen Mother of the West may have the technology to tame this weird bird of prey."
"It seems that these strange birds should have originally inhabited this oasis, but were later brought to the east for some reasons and became the guardians of the tomb." Wuxie continued what Aning said, "And since entering here After that, I always felt that the terrain here was too similar to the terrain in Changbai Mountain, both of which were giant crater impact basins."
"According to what you say, then isn't this the home of those ghost birds?" The fat man wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "There are talking snakes here, and there are these birds, aren't we going there to die? ?”
Several other people have been to Yunding Tiangong, so they naturally know how powerful the human-faced bird is.
"This bird should be extinct." Lu Yao said hesitantly. To be honest, the book didn't seem to mention that there was such a bird here.
But after being told that by the system, Lu Yao was not sure whether the world he was in now was the world in the book he read?
Now we can only take one step at a time.
The fat man cursed, "Damn, these ghost birds had better be really extinct, otherwise we'll end up here."
After delaying for a while at this place, Aning took photos of these stones. Finding nothing else, he left these grottoes and continued walking forward.
Affected by the carvings of the human-faced birds, the group of people walked very cautiously, always paying attention to the surrounding environment. However, no strange problems occurred along the way, and no other buildings or ruins appeared.
It wasn't until noon that the surrounding woods suddenly became sparse. Not long after we continued walking, two stone sculptures of human-faced birds suddenly appeared on the roadside.
The human-faced bird statue here is two people tall, and the statues are covered with very thick moss.
"Another human-faced bird?" The fat man looked at the statue with some frustration. "There are two more here. Do you think it is possible that this human-faced bird is the pet of the Queen Mother of the West? When people come to the house as guests, let them be Let’s take a few back as souvenirs.”
"Well, let's take a guess. It's hard to say."
In fact, Lu Yao had a doubt when he first read this book. Who is earlier, Bronze Gate or Queen Mother of the West?
So did the Queen Mother of the West learn from the Bronze Gate, or did the Bronze Gate learn from the Queen of the West?
Zhang Qilin suddenly took out his dagger and cleaned up the moss on the stone sculpture of the human-faced bird.
"Brother, what did you find?" Wuxie saw the little brother's movements and hurried forward to take a look.
Unexpectedly, there is a painting carved on the stone sculpture of a human-faced bird.
The fat man looked at the painting on the stone sculpture with some surprise, "Look, this should be our current location. The dots on both sides represent the statues of human-faced birds. The people in the middle are continuing along this passage. Go forward."
Wuxie nodded and said, "Yes, these people are walking towards the passage. They should be recording some kind of ritual scene."
Lu Yao looked at the scratches on the stone carvings in shock, "It's so criss-crossed, how did you know that this is a passage, and where are we?"
The fat man patted Lu Yao on the shoulder and chuckled, "Kid, you are an amateur, right? Why don't we, the tomb robbers, learn some archaeological knowledge? Otherwise, we will miss the treasure, which will be terrible."
Lu Yao took off the fat man's hand from his shoulders. "Thank you for your teaching, but I am not in your group. I have to go back to take the exam at Peking University."
Wu Xie and An Ning on the other side have begun to discuss whether the information retained on this carving is valuable.
"Stone statues of this shape can no longer be seen. There is still information on them, which is even more valuable."
"This thing is worth so much!"
Aning rolled his eyes at the fat man who flashed over, "I just said he was valuable, I didn't say he was valuable."
Wuxie patted the fat man and said, "Even if it's really valuable, can you still carry it out for him?"
When Aning was taking pictures of the stone sculpture, he was very curious about the hole on one side of the stone sculpture.
"There is no mechanism, but there are four very strange holes on this stone statue."
These holes don't look like mechanisms, but they don't look like stone statues should exist either.
Pan Zi was a little distracted looking at this stone sculpture. He always felt that the existence of these holes was useful, but he couldn't figure out what it was for.
"Do you think it's too quiet here? This is a rainforest?"
Wuxie suddenly asked a question, and then everyone remembered that there was no sound at all in the rain forest here since they passed through the rock wall.
Pan Zi volunteered to explore the way.
"I'm coming with you." The fat man followed Pan Zi and walked inside.
The two of them walked forward for more than ten meters very cautiously, but did not find any mechanism, but the fat man found some small white bones on the surface.
"This should be a rat's leg bone."
"Master Pan, you are well-informed!" The fat man looked at the tiny bones in his hand, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong. "Do you think there is a live human-faced bird here? These bones are leftover from what they ate."
Pan Zi didn't agree with Fatty's speculation, "It should just be some kind of carnivore, right? Even if there really is some ferocious beast, if you encounter it, just treat it as extra food for us."
Wuxie saw Fatty and Pan Zi chatting calmly in front, and ran over anxiously.
However, there are two human-faced bird statues side by side about a dozen meters away. Wuxie went over to check the carvings on the statue. The previous statue was exactly the same without any changes.
If these words were indeed used to record information, how could they be exactly the same?
"Found another one."
The fat man found another relatively complete corpse in front of him. This was the corpse of an unknown animal. The skin and flesh on the corpse were very well preserved.
No obvious skin injuries were found, and it looked like he died of natural old age.
The fat man looked at Wuxie in confusion, "Zhenzhen, does the Queen Mother of the West master some ancient methods that can kill people invisible?"
"Pull him down, how can he be so evil?"
Wuxie ignored the fat man's nonsense and continued to walk forward.
"Snapped!"
Not far ahead, suddenly a bird fell from the sky.
"Damn it! You see, Queen Mother Xi can really kill people without being seen!"
