There was a red charcoal fire burning on the ground, and Ye Qiong was turning it over to roast the thigh meat of the monster in his hand.
The soldiers have not been idle these days, counting the various things inside...
In addition to human silhouette armor and animal-shaped armor, many grid holes were dug out in the outer area of this space. Each one is five meters in diameter and about ten meters deep. The size is very neat. There are hundreds of them in the entire space. There are so many, there are all kinds of things placed inside those grid holes...
arms!
There is a spear placed on each piece of humanoid black armor, which seems to be a standard feature, but the weapons placed in the surrounding grid holes are different.
Inside, Ye Qiong saw the black long bow and black short knife used by the ancient forest ape.
Xinka and the others just happened to have them, so Ye Qiong could directly compare them, and the results were exactly the same.
In addition to these conventional weapons, Ye Qiong is very much looking forward to the emergence of some weapons that are beyond his understanding. However, it is a pity that Ye Qiong has been carefully walking around the grid holes from his position at the entrance in the past few days. , and I didn’t see that kind of weapon.
There are no basic hot weapons, such as fire barrels. It seems that although this ancient tribe is powerful, it will be in the era of cold weapons in the future. As for why they want to build such a place, Ye Qiong now has his own inference.
That is the tribal population.
The battle with the Madman King will definitely not be easy, and it will most likely be a protracted battle lasting several years or even decades. After victory, the tribe's population is estimated to be running low.
The excess war materials need to be stored until the tribe's population base increases before they can be taken out.
Judging from the current results, they are no longer here and have given up their war weapons here.
Perhaps for self-protection, he entered the relatively safe Dinglong Mountains to survive and develop himself.
It is also possible that they went to other places. As for these supplies, there is really no way to take them away, so they can only leave them here.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this tribe has disappeared on the snow star, and these things are just relics of that powerful tribe.
The last situation is also the one that Ye Qiong least wants to encounter. After all, if that tribe really has no descendants in the tribe, the words on those stone pillars, with the current ability of Ye Qiong tribe, want to decipher those words The meaning is basically impossible.
Ye Qiong also studied the words on the stone pillars in the past few days, and he couldn't understand a single word even though he had a brain hemorrhage.
It's not hieroglyphics...
When Ye Qiong was studying these words, he was thinking about how great the words passed down by his ancestors' civilization were, but the simplified words now are no different from astronomical symbols to other civilizations.
As for hieroglyphics, Ye Qiong still had the confidence to study them, but in Ye Qiong's eyes, the characters above were all confusing symbols and dots, and it was completely impossible to start.
But we can't give up. The value of these words is immeasurable. Ye Qiong must decipher them. If it doesn't work in one year, it will take two years. If it doesn't work in two years, it will take ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will be continued by the descendants of the tribe.
In short, this matter cannot be discontinued.
Ye Qiong did not intend to delay this matter. When he went back next time, Ye Qiong was going to bring some people over from the tribe and set up a research team.
Translating and researching words is a very suitable thing for the women of the Ye Qiong tribe to do. Then call some second-line warriors to come over and draw these words directly on the animal skins as they are now, so that some high-IQ women in the tribe can Go ahead and research.
If it could be deciphered, it would be a great achievement.
Seeing that the big hind leg on the fire was roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared next to Ye Qiong.
A fruity scent also hit me, and it was easy to distinguish the unique scent of Qingzhi.
"Is it ready to bake?" Qing Zhi squatted beside Ye Qiong and said looking at the big hind legs on the fire. As she spoke, she couldn't help but smack her mouth a few times.
Ye Qiong smiled: "Go and get me some water right now."
Qing Zhi immediately nodded, ran under a giant stone pillar, and scooped out a ladle of water from a bucket.
After Ye Qiong took it, he drank it himself. Qing Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking he needed it for barbecue. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiong drank it himself, but he didn't mean to be annoyed at all. Instead, he looked at Ye Qiong and raised his eyebrows. He drank water gurglingly, tilted his head and smiled.
Ye Qiong and the others haven't figured out the height of this space yet, and the light from the barrel grease lamps and torches can't reach it at all.
Ye Qiong originally planned to shoot an arrow up, but after thinking about it, he held back. After all, there might be something pointing up there. This place is different from the cave. After all, it was made by humans themselves, so Ye Qiong can be sure that there is no danger. .
If it was the environment like Ye Qiong's previous life, there would probably be nothing left in this kind of place, let alone ruins. Many people's ancestral graves have been hollowed out.
One thing Ye Qiong is sure of is that this is a large warehouse where tribes store weapons and strategic materials. Humans on Snow Star do not have such bad habits as funeral practices and belief in reincarnation, so relatively speaking, there are even It is safer than the outside world where the blizzard is raging, and there are no traps.
It is unknown whether there was a snow star before the Ice Age, but after the Ice Age, what humans want is to simply live on the snow star, but even such a simple wish is difficult to realize.
"Okay! The meat in the pot is also cooked. Go and call Grandpa and Xinka over. Let's eat first." Ye Qiong drank the water in the gourd.
Qing Zhi immediately nodded obediently and ran towards one of the grid holes on the outside.
It is worth mentioning that the current location of Ye Qiong and the others has not reached the bottom. The grid holes are not directly next to each other, but are separated by a distance of three meters, in the middle. , there is a staircase extending downward.
If the total number is added up, there are hundreds of them, but what is puzzling is that after two steps tightly extending downward, they were directly sealed.
Ye Qiong has never seen this situation before, but Qing Lie, Qing Zhi and several soldiers here have all seen similar situations.
It was the cross passage altar where Xinka led them to avoid the trees falling from the sky during the storm!
