Chapter 119 The Same Beheading

As the light from the illuminating arrow gradually weakened, the four of them finally focused their gaze on the crack in front of them.

The crack is less than a hundred meters wide, and there is no end in sight from the other end.

And looking down, there was only endless darkness.

Chen Ke exclaimed:

"Oh my God, this crack is too exaggerated."

Ji Han remembered the pure black stone he had seen before and asked:

"Could it be that kind of pure black stone underneath, so it looks dark?"

"Probably not?"

As Chen Ke said this, he threw the lighting rod into the distance.

The lighting rod kept falling under the gaze of the four people, until it disappeared from everyone's sight and was swallowed up by darkness.

Like a shooting star, it streaked across the sky and then disappeared at the end of the night sky.

Song Qian was also surprised and said:

"The depth is indeed terrifying, and it's still next to ancient ruins."

Ji Han asked:

"Do you think these cracks were dug by those ancient people?"

Eggplant smiled and said:

"Don't talk about those ancients. Even if you call all the excavator professionals in Lan Xiang, you still won't be able to excavate on this scale."

There are several old wooden bridges above the huge cracks, but they look shaky, and the broken wooden bridge foundations can be seen next to them.

It's probably impossible to walk on this bridge anymore.

The light of the illuminating arrow finally disappeared completely, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

Song Qian suggested:

"It's better not to use large-scale lighting tools or throw things down there. After all, I don't know if anything will be attracted down here."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"This should be the place indicated in the Nine-Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, but compared with the scene recorded in the mirror, this place is now a dead city."

Eggplant complained:

"Then how to find it next? This dead city is too big. There are so many houses and caves. Is it difficult to visit them one by one?"

Song Qian looked at the divine pillar detector in her hand and said:

"There is still no obvious signal here. If we can detect it, we can only go in."

Chen Ke looked at the huge crack behind him and said:

"Did the divine pillar be thrown down?"

Ji Hanxin said that would be the end of it, but this game shouldn't be that tricky, otherwise it would be completely turned into a bungee jumping game without a parachute.

Ji Han thought for a moment and said:

"The earliest situation of this ancient city is no longer easy to explore. But I think we should start with the corpses of these Huns. They are still a little closer to us. Let's search the corpses on the ground and the nearest caves first. Let’s see if there are any clues left by these Huns.”

Everyone thought it was feasible, and at least it would be easier than searching through the rooms without any purpose.

However, everyone rummaged through the corpses in the open space and found nothing of value, except for furs, clothes, weapons, and some scattered decorations.

Ji Han didn't find anything valuable either.

The four of them had no choice but to start rummaging through the cave closest to the clearing.

Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the space inside is quite big. It really looks like a cave dwelling.

There are also several remains in the first few caves. It seems that they are people who did not actively participate in the fighting outside. Their remains are huddled in the corners, and they don't know what they went through when they were killed.

Although there was no valuable information, Ji Han discovered a strange feature when he saw these remains along the way.

But Ji Han didn't know how to express it and said vaguely:

"Have you noticed that among the Xiongnu corpses you saw along the way, except for those who were beheaded, they were not beheaded."

Eggplant smiled and said:

"It's like listening to your words. Of course, apart from being beheaded, I am not beheaded."

When Ji Han heard this, he was also amused by his stupid remarks.

Song Qian understood what he meant and explained:

"Brother Han, you want to talk about the proportion, right? Quite a few people were killed by beheading."

Ji Hanxin said that Song Qian understood me, nodded and said:

"Hey, that's what it means, because in a real war, even if you want to attack the opponent's neck, you can kill the opponent by cutting off his trachea and blood vessels. Beheading is very labor-intensive. The ratio of beheading here is Very high, a little abnormal, as if it had to be beheaded.”

Having said this, everyone immediately thought of the same thing.

Chen Ke continued:

"Those corpses in the water outside! These Huns soldiers were beheaded, just like how we killed the weird corpses in the water outside!"

When Eggplant heard this, he also reacted and said:

"Indeed, and all the people who died here were Hun soldiers. It seems that a civil war took place. Could it be that some of them also turned into the corpses outside?"

Judging from the current situation, this speculation is possible.

Ji Han asked:

"Eggplant, did you see how the other corpses mutated after the bronze bell was destroyed?"

Eggplant replied:

"Hey, it was the old black man in Ethan's team who touched the bronze bell, and then the bell broke into pieces, and many small bright spots like will-o'-the-wisps came out from it. When they came out, they went straight to the pale corpses. , they came to life as soon as they touched those corpses.”

Ji Hanxin said that according to what Eggplant said, it seemed that these Huns soldiers encountered a similar situation, and those little bright spots like will-o'-the-wisps were the key.

As the four of them talked, they had already searched the fourth cave.

As soon as they came in, Ji Han knew that there would be gains here.

Because there were many words carved on the walls of this cave, and there were two complete corpses lying next to the wall.

Eggplant laughed as soon as he entered the room:

"Oh! It looks like a good student's house. In that era, was scribbling on the wall the same as hanging calligraphy and painting works on the wall?"

Chen Ke looked at the words on the wall and said:

"The words are so mixed. Is this the words used by the Xiongnu?"

Ji Han nodded and said:

"The Xiongnu don't seem to have a fixed word, most of them rely on language transmission. They still learn some simple words from the surrounding tribes or ethnic groups, so these words look very mixed."

Thinking of this, they should all be masters of playing megaphones.

But for Ji Han, it doesn't matter.

After all, he also ordered the quantum wave reading method translation package, so it's okay for you to use the oracle bone script in the game to read it to himself.

"Be on guard outside, let me see what this guy wrote?"

Eggplant looked outside with his gun, and complained:

"I don't know what's wrong with the brains of you people who know multiple languages. I can't even write curse words in English properly."

Ji Han slowly translated the contents of the entire wall and read it silently. Although some parts of the wall had fallen off, it did not affect the overall understanding.

After understanding what the Xiongnu soldiers here had experienced, Ji Han sighed and said:

"Everyone, we really have to go down to that crack."
