Chapter 353 Stone Tools
The height of this wall actually surpassed the wall of this ancient city, reaching at least 30 meters.
Everyone needs to look up, standing under the wall, they all feel their own insignificance.
At this moment, in front of the wall, there are two teams guarding here. Seeing Ge An and his party coming here, the leaders rushed over immediately and saluted Ge An.
Su Li looked at the 30-meter-high wall, which was different from the two copper gates on the city wall. What stood out from this high wall were two stone gates.
The surface of the two stone gates has a faint cyan luster, and they seem to be made of a very special stone material. They are about ten meters high, and the width of the two stone gates combined exceeds eight meters.
Between the two stone gates was a gap nearly a foot wide. Giant iron chains wound around the two stone gates, passed through the gap in the middle, and tightly entangled the two stone gates together.
The whole body of the iron chain was glowing with a layer of black light, obviously it was not made of extraordinary iron, and the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly a stone tool inserted into the large number of iron chains wrapped around the two stone gates.
The exposed half of the stone tool is a stone tool handle, about the thickness of a normal adult's fist.
Because I can only see the handle on the outside, I don't know the whole picture of this stone tool, whether it is a stone ax or a stone spear, or other shapes. I can only watch it entangled in this large number of iron chains, giving people a kind of indescribable feeling. weird feeling.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the five people in Su Li were all attracted, and they immediately understood why Ge An didn't let people approach casually.
Everyone's first reaction was danger, and they instinctively felt that there was some kind of horror hidden in the two stone gates, but no one could say what it was.
Gao Shengyi couldn't help pushing the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose again habitually, and said softly: "Will you be able to open these two stone doors by pulling out this stone tool?"
Wenying said: "Looking at it like this, it should be like this."
Zhang Haohao was full of curiosity: "What do you think is going to be here? The iron chains wrapped around the stone gate, and a weapon with a stone handle inserted in the middle, looks full of mystery."
After he instinctively sensed the danger, curiosity and impulse arose in his heart, and he felt an urge to step forward and pull out the stone tool.
Su Li looked at Ge An and said, "Brother Ge said earlier that there might be some kind of terrible existence imprisoned here. Did you guess it yourself or did you see something?"
This Ge An has a pair of divine eyes, and he can even see the true faces of the group of people in Baiyun Lake. If he sees something through the iron chains wrapped around the stone gate,
Not surprising.
Ge Andao: "My eyes can see some special things. Although I can't see exactly what is inside these two stone gates, I can vaguely feel that something extremely terrifying is imprisoned here. The stone gate and the iron chain are seals, it must not be touched here, otherwise disaster will be imminent."
He paused for a while and continued: "So I arranged two teams to guard here and never allow anyone to approach at will, let alone touch the stone tool."
Su Li hummed and nodded slightly, he understood Ge An's arrangement, but what he thought in his heart was that he was going to let Xu Xuehui take a look, but whether her eyes could see what was here.
Zhang Haohao looked at Gao Shengyi and said, "Old Gao, isn't your prediction quite accurate? Feel it, what do you think is inside this stone gate?"
Gao Shengyi coughed lightly, and then said: "I agree with what Brother Ge said, here, it's better for us to touch less."
Ding Hui suddenly said: "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about who built this ancient city? Why was it hidden in this mountain, and now it was born because of an earthquake, but look at the appearance of this city. , it’s not like being buried in the mountain, otherwise it would be impossible to preserve it so completely, unless the mountain originally had a huge space, and the ancient city existed in this huge space, and the mountain was like an eggshell. Now a piece has been shattered, revealing the ancient city inside."
Ge An shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that no one can give you an answer to this matter. I have been studying this ancient city for the past few days, but who built everything about this ancient city and its origin, or who belonged to it? What kind of civilization, but there is no clue, and no clues have been found."
Gao Shengyi said: "Maybe we can find relevant clues in this inner city."
Ge An shook his head and said, "No matter what is in the inner city, don't get close to it. Even if there are some clues about the origin of this ancient city hidden in it, I will not go to check."
Obviously, he has great fear of this inner city.
Maybe, he saw something with his divine eyes, but he didn't say all the words to everyone.
Wenying raised his head, showing a thoughtful look, and said: "I think the stone gate and iron chains are just for bluffing people. You see, this high wall is about 30 meters high. If there are really some terrible people imprisoned or imprisoned inside Thing, won't this thing climb over the high wall and leave? Do you have to open this stone door to leave?"
Zhang Haohao said: "What you said makes sense. There is really some monster imprisoned inside. You can escape by climbing over the wall, and you don't have to leave through this stone gate."
As he spoke, he took out a toothpick from his pocket and picked it up.
He likes to pick his teeth with a toothpick and carries it with him all the time
I brought a lot of toothpicks, and every time I finished eating, I would take a toothpick and pick my teeth slowly.
Of course, when he is bored or encounters certain things, he will hold the toothpick in his mouth and turn it slowly, and sometimes he will bite the toothpick lightly. He thinks this is a good way to relieve boredom or relieve stress.
Seeing that the inner city is full of mysteries at this moment, but he can't enter to see what's going on, this makes him feel itchy and unbearable, so he bites slowly with a toothpick in his mouth, and he feels more comfortable.
Gao Shengyi said: "It's hard to say, maybe the things imprisoned here are related to the stone gate and the iron chain. If the stone gate is not opened, this thing can't leave. This is also normal."
Ge An said: "In short, no matter what is here, I advise everyone not to have curiosity in this area, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. We can't take the risk."
Ding Hui said: "Brother Ge is right. Although I am also very curious, everything is unclear at the moment, and it is true that we can no longer take risks casually. It is really not easy to find a city with all kinds of facilities. We should all cherish it."
Zhang Haohao said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't act recklessly."
Gao Shengyi said: "It does look very unusual here, I think the defense should be strengthened."
He felt that there were two teams guarding here, which was not safe enough, and it would be better to add more manpower.
Although he didn't know what was inside the stone gate, his premonition told him that the stone gate must not be opened, otherwise, catastrophe would be imminent. This feeling was very strong.
Just as Ge An was about to speak, someone suddenly ran over from afar.
"Report--"
He stretched his voice while running, causing Ge An and the others to be attracted by him and turn around.
This is a young man, galloping over very fast.
"What happened?" Ge An knew at the first sight that something must have happened, and the other party was like this.
"Report to the boss, there is an outsider coming!" The young man seemed to know Ge An very well, and immediately yelled loudly after stopping.
"Oh?" Ge An frowned slightly and said, "Be more specific."
"Coming from the southwest, there are five or six hundred people, divided into eight rafts. There are two shark-like monsters in front of the rafts. They should be tamed mounts. They are still three kilometers away and approaching us. "
The young man immediately made a detailed report.
Ge An said: "To the southwest? Then they can see the cracks on the top of the mountain and the ancient city from a distance. They probably will come here directly. Continue to pay attention and observe. First, they must distinguish whether it is human or the forgotten human race."
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, unexpectedly, Ge An also knew about forgetting the human race.
Gao Shengyi said: "Brother Ge has also met the Forgotten Human Race?"
Ge An said: "Yes, I met a group before. They are exactly the same as human beings. It is difficult to tell them apart just by looking at them. There are even forgotten human races who can pretend to be human beings. In short, if you go out in the future and see people, you must be more careful. , first determine whether the opponent is a human or a forgotten human race."
Zhang Haohao said: "We have met before, it seems not difficult to distinguish, I remember that the other party's skin is very pale, and there seems to be a slight difference in the color of the pupils, it is normal that it is not obvious from a distance, but close contact , can still be seen.”
At this moment, Su Li somewhat understood why his group of people entered the Moon Viewing Peak before, and the people in the ancient city could clearly see them from a distance, but none of them showed up, but hid in the ancient city until he and others arrived in the ancient city Before attacking the bronze gate, they appeared.
He was also a little confused before, but now he finally understands that they are afraid that they are forgotten humans and need to observe closely.
Ge An shook his head and said: "The characteristics you mentioned are just the forgotten humans who have just begun to wake up. As time goes by, they continue to evolve, and these characteristics will gradually disappear. It will become more and more difficult to distinguish whether it is from the outside. Humans are still forgetting humans."
"What's even more frightening is that I also met a Forgotten Human Race who couldn't even see through my eyes. Fortunately, because I couldn't see through him, I was always on guard, so I didn't get plotted by him."
When Ge An said this, there was a look of lingering fear on his face.
Everyone understood it in their eyes, but he was afraid that he suffered a lot that time. Thinking that the Forgotten Human Race can mix in with humans, and the appearance is almost indistinguishable from humans, this made everyone feel a little chilly.
Fortunately, Su Li has the "Peeping Rune", so he is not afraid. If he meets someone whose information cannot be seen, he will naturally be wary.
Su Li said: "Thank you Brother Ge for reminding, it seems that next time you see any stranger, you need to be careful first, to determine whether it is a human or a forgotten human race."
Ge An said with a smile: "Of course, what I'm talking about is only an individual phenomenon. According to my understanding, this kind of forgotten human race is very arrogant, and they regard themselves as new human beings. Masquerading as a human."
While talking, everyone left the high wall of the inner city, crossed the square, and walked towards the city wall at the end of the square.
Because the other party was still three kilometers away, and there was still a little time before they approached Guanyue Peak, everyone was in no hurry.
At this moment, the training of the people in the square had stopped, and outsiders were heard approaching. Because it was still impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, the two hundred-man squadrons of the "Lion Brigade" all assembled and entered a state of alert.
Xia Zhihan and Zhang Wei also came to meet Ge An and Su Li.
The two bronze doors of the ancient city were opened, and there were two teams standing on both sides. There were people hidden in the cracks on the top of the mountain outside the ancient city. Their main duty was to investigate. Some had strengthened their eyes and some had strengthened their ears. Observe from afar and report the observed news from time to time.
Ge An led the five people from Su Li, Xia Zhihan, Zhang Wei and others, and walked out along the bronze gate.
"What's going on now?" Ge An asked, and someone was busy reporting the situation.
The group of hundreds of people who came from the southwest was already within two kilometers of Guanyue Peak. Judging from their direction, they should be coming directly towards Guanyue Peak.
"Okay, continue to observe." Ge An nodded towards them, and then approached the crack himself, looking down at the water surface in the distance.
Su Li was beside him, squinting his eyes slightly, focusing on looking into the distance.
He saw eight huge rafts on the water in the distance, and each raft was full of people. The total number of people on the eight rafts was at least five hundred.
The most striking thing is undoubtedly the two monsters in front of the eight rafts.
Because of the distance, Su Li could only see that these two monsters were very long, at least five or six meters long, and looked like two long barrels, with their heads somewhat resembling sharks.
There were three people riding on the back of the monster on the left, and two people riding on the back of the monster on the right. As for the appearance of these people, he couldn't see clearly.
When there were still two kilometers away from Moon Viewing Peak, the two monsters, carrying five people, suddenly started to accelerate, and immediately moved away from the eight rafts behind them, heading towards Moon Viewing Peak.
It seems that they want to get closer to Guanyue Peak in advance to check the details of this mountain.
Zhang Haohao said: "Everyone says they are human beings or the Forgotten Human Race."
Although Su Li guessed that these people should be human beings, according to Ge An's analysis, the current forgotten human race is almost exactly the same as human beings, and they are even good at disguising, which makes it difficult for him to judge.
Because of the distance, neither his "peeping runes" nor Ge An's divine eyes could see the true identities of these people, so they could only look at them from a distance.
Ge An said: "It should be the survivors among human beings. If we can absorb this group of people, the number of people in our ancient city will exceed 4,000. According to this speed, it will take only a day or two to form a third brigade. There is hope."
"Come on, let's go down and meet these people." Ge An seemed very excited, and then asked Zhang Wei to transfer a long-range squadron, a defensive squadron and two melee squadrons out of the city.
