Under the unscrupulous destruction of the Nine Death Jingling Armor, most of the huge dead city was destroyed in an instant. Among the large stones lifted up by the bronze vines, a bronze hall buried underground appeared in front of Song Xing.
The originally dark main hall was completely lifted up by the Nine Death Jingling Tomb Armor. Song Xing walked closer and saw several ancient corpses wearing gold ornaments in the main hall.
These ancient corpses all have their heads bent downwards, their skin and flesh are as withered as tree bark, their faces are indistinguishable, and yellow water oozes from time to time from their open mouths.
A big fungus grew out of the mouths of these ancient corpses, shaped like a grimace, as red as blood, and shaped like an umbrella cover. The corpses were drooling, and all the saliva fell on the top, and the roots became one with these zombies.
In Song Xing's sight, the closer Fatty Wang and the others got to the Bronze Hall, the faster the vitality in their bodies drained away, all being absorbed by the weird big bacteria in the hall.
There are countless small bacteria scattered around the big bacteria, and countless dense fog emanates from these fungi. Even with the protection of the talisman, Hu Bayi and others feel suffocated and numb when they get closer, their bodies are weak, and their eyes are a little open. Unable to open up, I was horrified.
Under Song Xing's gaze, these grimacing bacteria seemed to feel threatened, and thick fog suddenly filled the hall, trying to hide the big bacteria's figure.
Green light flashed, and before the mist filled the air, Song Xing slashed in the air, blasting the largest Grimace Fungus into pieces.
The top fragments of the rhizome of the big fungus turned into black water when they fell to the ground, and the smell was unpleasant.
Smelling the stench, Hu Bayi and the others, who were originally a little dizzy, suddenly felt their bodies light up, and the numbness on their bodies slowly subsided.
Several more rays of sword light flashed by, and the Grimace Fungus in the entire hall, along with the dried corpses, were all divided into countless fragments by the sword light and drifted away in the wind.
A large amount of gray-white smoke, accompanied by the fragments of the rotting corpse, gathered in the air and formed a vague outline of a ghost face.
Song Xing frowned, held the sword in his hand, and slashed violently into the air, completely extinguishing the smoke from the ghost face.
When Song Xing destroyed all the grimace fungi, Fatty Wang and others sat down on the ground, sweating all over and breathing heavily: "What the hell is this? Corpse mouth fungus?"
Song Xing looked at the bronze hall and said: "The most bizarre thing in the world is the genus Zhizhi. Perhaps these ancient corpses of snake worshipers wearing gold ornaments had swallowed some kind of rare Zhizhi in the abyss during their lifetimes, and after death they turned out to be It can drool from the mouth, causing the poisonous bacteria to grow and die, and it will not dry up for thousands of years."
Hu Bayi rested for a moment and felt much more comfortable. He looked at the main hall with lingering fear: "I was near these grimace fungi just now. I felt like my soul was almost sucked away by them. It's too dangerous."
Several people did not dare to walk further towards the main hall, but Song Xing walked directly into it, and Hu Bayi and four others hurriedly followed.
The main hall was not very spacious, only about a hundred feet long. After the ancient corpses and grimacing fungi disappeared, the fog in the bronze hall dissipated, revealing a pitch-black hole in the center of the hall.
Under the cave is a city with ten thousand households. Although it is in ruins, under the dust cover, the undulating outlines of the corridors and houses can still be vaguely discerned.
Brushing away the dust covering the wall surface, many bare-chested ghost reliefs were revealed on the stone wall, with teeth and claws showing, and strange behaviors, with their faces all facing the same direction.
Professor Sun said that snake worshipers believe that after death, in addition to being reincarnated in the belly of Quetzalcoatl, the rest will turn into ghosts after death, and their corpses will decay, submerge in deep springs, and eventually fall into nothingness.
The direction in which these ghostly reliefs are looking is the hidden spring, the void into which the corpses have fallen.
In addition, Professor Sun also discovered a line of blood-red ancient dragon seal script of the Xia Dynasty on the relief. After his translation, this line means that treasures buried in the ground cannot be discovered, and "ancient seals" lurk in the abyss. enemy".
Song Xing frowned: "Ancient enemy? The snake worshipers can be said to be one of the earliest civilizations in ancient times. The civilization appeared before the Xia Dynasty. Who could they call the ancient enemy?"
Professor Sun remained silent, and after a while he hesitated and said: "According to the ancient dragon seal scripts I saw, there are two gods worshiped by snake worshipers. Could the ancient enemies be the enemies of the gods? Or, these two A god is himself an opposite."
Song Xing's eyes lit up: "You're saying that because they worship different gods, the snake worshipers' civilization is divided into two camps."
Professor Sun nodded: "The stele of King Yu that has been preserved by the outside world in later generations is actually a copy of the bronze inscriptions from the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties. The stele records a passage in the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty, to the effect of "Although there are sages and ancient saints, it cannot be broken. "This pass". It shows that there is an extremely terrifying existence in the bottom of this abyss, which makes future generations wary and dare not go deep into it."
"Since ancient times, great sages and great sages, all wise men, should never reveal the secrets in the temple." Song Xing carefully pondered that sentence, "Does it refer to the ancient gods under the abyss?"
"There is no answer to this question, but the purpose of the snake worshipers should be related to the ancient god. The descendants of the snake worshipers went into the abyss to find the relics left by the ancient gods, maybe not just to deal with Dayu," Professor Sun guessed, " All we have to do is keep moving forward and reach the temple, where the answer may be."
Just as everyone continued to move forward, hundreds of corpses of horseshoe crabs were discovered in the collapsed passage.
These corpse horseshoe crabs are dark green in color, covered with dense layers of claws, and have spine-shaped hard limbs at their tails. They crawl on the ground at extremely fast speeds, making a harsh "clicking" sound.
"Be careful, don't touch them. The blood of these bugs is highly corrosive." Just when Fatty Wang was about to trample a few corpse horseshoe crabs to death, Shirley Yang promptly reminded him.
In the end, all these corpse horseshoe crabs were stabbed to death by the Nine Death Jingling Armor, and the blue blood was absorbed by it as soon as it flowed out.
Shirley Yang has done a lot of research on these ancient creatures. Looking at the corpses of horseshoe crabs in front of her, she said: "It's strange, these horseshoe crabs are so ancient in shape, as if they have survived from the Devonian Period."
The Devonian period is the fourth period in the Paleozoic era of the geological era. It belongs to the Phanerozoic-Paleozoic era. It started about 405 million years ago, ended 350 million years ago, and lasted about 50 million years.
Although Professor Sun also found it strange, he said: "The prehistoric ecological environment is maintained here, and there are Devonian paleontological creatures. There is nothing strange about it."
Song Xing looked around and saw a mural on a wall.
It was an extremely mysterious and weird figure. In the center was a tall human figure with horns on its head, a gray beard and huge eyebrows. It had an odd shape and its hands were stretched out. In front of it were ordinary people who were only half its height.
Professor Sun also noticed Song Xing's gaze and looked over.
Song Xing asked: "The horns on the top of the head look a bit like the Shennong clan, but they are twice as tall as ordinary people. Was there such a race in ancient times?"
Professor Sun hesitated for a moment and said: "I have seen some patterns on the ruins of the Fire Nation, but the content they depict seems to be scenes of ancient ancestors coming into contact with alien objects from the sky. It is absurd, humorous, and incomprehensible."
Song Xing understood what he meant, "You mean, the giants suspected of being the Shennong clan in the mural are visitors from outside the world, and the Shennong clan may be their descendants from ancient times?"
Professor Sun did not admit it, but he also did not deny it: "Except for the Hadean Eon, which has no traces of life, since the birth of single-celled organisms in the Archean Eon, too many things have happened on this planet that cannot be explained in words and science. I am a rigorous person. Scholars should not easily express opinions on things that have not been verified."
"The Shennong family in the ancient murals is indeed the first born, but whether it is related to the giant in this mural is probably impossible to verify unless we go back to that era."
Song Xing remembered that he had read in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that ancient people looked like beasts. Fuxi and Nuwa had human heads and snake bodies, Shennong had horns, and Chiyou was a bear. Although they looked like birds and beasts, they were pure and simple. There is great saintliness.
But for the time being, it was difficult to connect those ancient figures with extraterrestrial civilizations.
