Chapter 957 Strange
"eternal life?"
Zhou Xueyao frowned slightly as she looked at the large characters on the obelisk that were about fifteen or six meters long. Considering the thinking of a normal person, generally no one will bring up the topic of 'eternal life', although everyone is pursuing eternal life.
Also, the word "eternal life" is still blood red:
The so-called blood red is not pure red, but a slightly dull, depressing color with purplish black. Anyway the color is not that pleasant.
Those two simple words made the atmosphere of the scene feel unspeakably oppressive.
"Madam, do you want to continue cleaning?" Murong Shan turned to Zhou Xueyao.
Zhou Xueyao thought for a while and said: "Let's clean up from the periphery first, be careful, don't be too hasty. Let everyone do a good job of defense.
Also, you don't have to wait until it's all cleaned up to explore. We can explore while we clean up, which should keep the danger to a minimum. "
You are a boss, you can do whatever you say. However, Zhou Xueyao's suggestion also has certain value.
Who knows what is in the ruins that have been buried for hundreds of thousands of years, but it is the remains of advanced civilization. It seems that it is not incomprehensible that a living dead person is really going to pop out of it.
When everyone was exploring the ruins of Liuli Island, there were robots and a small world inside.
Temporarily incomplete excavation is also to prevent alarming or touching anything. Explore carefully first, looking for some clues and so on.
The outer steel wall should not be broken, but should be strengthened instead; the first group of people who entered the exploration wore third-generation armor, and they also prepared random teleportation symbols, so-called escape symbols, around their waists.
The first batch of 10 masters in the mid-stage of Faxiang entered the interior to explore together. Nan Xiaoyun took the lead. The remaining nine people were selected from various major forces. Among them, Tan Dingtao, the Tianshu sword master of Jiange, was lucky to join.
It is said that Tan Dingtao was captured when he attacked Dayang Group for the first time, and now he is finally released. And the matter of Tianji Pavilion has also been exposed, and there is no need to keep it secret.
However, Nan Xiaoyun has now reached the peak of the mid-stage of Faxiang, and he is only one step away from entering the late stage; but Nan Xiaoyun's combat power is exceptionally strong, with quick reactions and many magical means.
Because it was exploring the ruins, Nan Xiaoyun did not use the most commonly used long spear, but replaced it with an eyebrow-level short stick made entirely of nano-fine iron.
Compared with the spear, the brow-level stick is more flexible in a small space, and its destructive power is not necessarily weak, and it is more in line with Nan Xiaoyun's habits.
A group of ten people carefully stepped into this world hundreds of thousands of years ago, rummaging through the uncleared soil.
The first step is to find as much written material as possible. At present, it can be said that everyone knows nothing about this relic; although there are some exploration materials on the Jiange, they only explored on the ground in the past, and they never thought that there is such a huge city in the underground world.
In fact, the masters of Jiange still regretted it at this time-why didn't they dig down at the beginning? If we dig down a bit more, will the current Jiange surpass Dayang Group?
Well, in fact there is no medicine for regret, Lou Hongyu can only stand outside with envy at this time. Fortunately, the first wave of people who entered had Jiange.
Ten people come from ten different forces, but everyone has simply rehearsed before, and they can help each other in case of danger; no matter how dangerous it is, just activate the random teleportation talisman.
The ground is simply cleared. Twisted, rusted metal everywhere, some completely corroded.
Nan Xiaoyun carefully explored forward, using magical powers to spy on the surrounding ground and buildings from time to time.
Most of the building materials here are steel, and it is a very good steel; Nan Xiaoyun picked up a piece of rusty iron and flicked it, and found that it was almost as hard as a Lingbao. That is to say, these iron pieces can be used as weapons of the masters of the gods after they are polished casually.
But in the face of such "wealth", the ten people on the scene, including those outside the field, dared not act even though they were moved. Anyway, it is already the meat in the bowl, and I am not afraid of being snatched away by others.
Nan Xiaoyun used magical powers to lift a piece of soil, and thousands of cubic meters of soil was directly thrown outside the wall with magical powers; experts immediately moved the soil outside the wall.
The soil was lifted, exposing the street. The street surface is no longer steel, but a structure similar to concrete. Compared with steel, although the structure of concrete is fragmented, it is always relatively intact. At least, it won't rust. It's just that it's more severely compacted with the soil.
When the sole of his foot stepped on the concrete, Nan Xiaoyun immediately knew it. The hardness of this concrete is harder than stone, and it also exceeds the current concrete of Dayang Group.
It really is a relic of advanced civilization.
On either side are twisted, rusty brackets. In the process of cleaning with spells and supernatural powers, some severely corroded or broken ones were basically cleaned up. All that's left is a stronger stand.
Suddenly Tan Dingtao said in a low voice: "Bones!"
Nan Xiaoyun turned his head, only to see a little white, slightly gray 'stone' protruding from the bottom edge of the just-cleared soil. I didn't pay attention to it just now, but when I looked carefully at this time, it was indeed a bone.
Immediately there are masters ready to remove the soil here. When Nan Xiaoyun and the others were ready, the master started to do it.
This time I was a lot more careful, the soil was peeled off piece by piece, and several skeletons appeared in front of everyone.
Judging from the color and texture of the bones, these bones should have been cultivated at the Golden Core stage, at most the Nascent Soul stage.
The bones cleaned up with spells are very clear, and even the positions of the bones are fixed in their original positions, including those that are suspended in mid-air.
Nan Xiaoyun squatted down to check. Right now, there are seven skeletons spread out in disorder, and two skeletons on the left side have apparently been smashed to pieces. The lower body and upper body are five meters away;
The middle three waist pendants were obviously fractured, and the state of the lower body was unnatural.
The two on the far right seem to be in good shape, but there are deep scratches on the concrete floor below the fingers. Seems like something is dragging behind.
Nan Xiaoyun thought for a while, then turned around and stood beside the skeleton, imagining himself in the situation.
Nan Xiaoyun seemed to have seen a group of people fleeing for their lives, but suddenly an attack landed, beheading two people in half and breaking the lumbar vertebrae of three people on the spot, and the other two were directly knocked over on the spot and also seriously injured.
Even though the seven people were seriously injured and dying, they were still struggling in fear; in the end, something seemed to drag them back.
"Like a monster...eating people?" Tan Dingtao asked. Obviously he also saw the problem.
A master next to him noticed that there was still a storage ring on the skeleton's hand, but he couldn't open it anymore. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and too many things have been obliterated by the years.
Now that the bones have been found, everyone has at least a little clue about the city. Nan Xiaoyun said thoughtfully, "It seems that this steel city wall is indeed for internal defense. Something terrible must have happened inside.
Be careful everyone. Don't explore inside yet, let's explore the outskirts of the city first. "
Everyone nodded. Start digging and exploring ahead. After that, skeletons began to appear one after another, and some skeletons even showed signs of gnawing. All kinds of misery were passed on to people hundreds of thousands of years later through the bones.
Gradually, there began to appear skeletons of the stage of transforming gods, and even... dharma phases!
Half an hour later, Nan Xiaoyun and others stood under a steel building that had just been cleaned up, frowning collectively.
This is a device similar to a distillation tower in an oil refinery, but it is more complicated. The rusty outer shell has been disassembled, revealing the same rusty but extremely complex structure inside.
But what really attracts everyone is a steel bracket with an I-beam structure. Although the steel bracket was rusty, it was more than 80 centimeters wide, and the I-beam was more than 12 centimeters thick.
However, at a height of about 8 meters on the I-beam, there is a skeleton nailed. A pitch-black object similar to a triangular steel structure pierced through the skeleton's eyebrows and the steel pillar behind it.
The bones are as crystal as jade, even after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion, you can still see the jade-like bones. Hit with a weapon, clang has the sound of gold and stone.
"At least the skeletons of the late stage of Faxiang!" Nan Xiaoyun's face was serious. He himself is in the middle stage of Dharma appearance, and he can clearly see his own bones through internal vision. Right now, after hundreds of thousands of years of wind and frost, this skeleton is still harder, denser, and more transparent than his own bones.
But Tan Dingtao looked at it and shook his head, "I've seen the bones of the later stages of the Wangdao Pathway, which are worse than this one. I think this should be the skeleton of the peak."
Although the royal path has no spells, in terms of physical fitness, it surpasses the path of the law. So Tan Dingtao's words made everyone's eyes more vigilant.
Nan Xiaoyun stepped forward to check the black object pinned to the skeleton. This thing is similar to a triangular steel structure, the tip is only one centimeter thick, and the edge is extremely sharp; even after hundreds of thousands of years, it is still as thin as a blade.
The tail is about 1.5 cm thick, with a thicker structure, and the edges are more regular in arc shape, slightly uneven.
The entire object is approximately 90 cm long, slightly curved, and extremely rigid.
"What's this thing? Looking at the slightly curved shape of the thing, it feels natural. This...can't be some kind of claw toe type thing?"
Tan Dingtao observed for a long time, his face turned pale: "Do you think this thing...does it look like...nails?"
"nail?!"
Everyone's heart jumped, and after observing for a while, everyone's complexions became more and more ugly.
Nan Xiaoyun gently stroked the edge of the nail, searched around the ground for a while, and finally said, "I also think this is a nail. And it should have been ejected actively!"
Tan Dingtao thought for a while and said, "Should we dig inside? I think there must be something inside."
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Nan Xiaoyun.
Nan Xiaoyun pondered for a while, then took a deep breath: "No, let's go back! I suspect that some kind of inhuman experiment is going on here! We need to listen to Madam's advice for some things!"
