Chapter 81 Shell Avenue

Then Du Yuqi put the cabbage stone, calcite, weightless fragments, white stone, and Borodin's seal into the basin one by one. When the first few materials were put in, there was no change in the basin. The clear water, scabbard, and gems were all lying quietly at the bottom of the water.

However, as soon as the white stone was put in, a violent chemical reaction immediately occurred. The clear water in the basin immediately became white and turbid, and then boiled. What was put in was not like a stone, but a bottle of sulfuric acid!

After the last Borodin badge was thrown in, the water surface began to shine continuously. This thing came from ancient ruins and contained a strange and mysterious ancient power. At this time, this power was released, and then a powerful vortex formed on the water surface, as if there was a big hole under the wooden basin and water was flowing out continuously.

As the water flow in the wooden basin decreased rapidly, the group soon discovered that the water flow in the basin was actually pouring into the opening of the unique bone scabbard, and as the water flow was sucked in, a thin film began to form on the surface of the bone scabbard.

How to say it, it was like a layer of skin was rapidly forming. After the last drop of water was sucked in, the surface of the scabbard was really covered with a layer of black film. From the appearance, it didn't look so abrupt anymore, and it wouldn't be much different from an ordinary scabbard.

Du Yuqi tried to hold the scabbard again, and suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand. He immediately loosened his hand and found that there was a small cut in the palm of his hand. A few drops of blood flowed on the scabbard, and then were quickly absorbed.

He looked at the scabbard carefully again and found that there was nothing sharp where he had held it before, but the "black film" formed on the surface of the scabbard was not ordinary. If you look closely, it is actually composed of countless tiny scales, and the edges of the scales seem to be quite sharp.

Although these scales are comfortable to hold when they are folded up, if one of them suddenly stands up when Du Yuqi holds the scabbard, it is possible to pierce his palm when he is caught off guard.

Soon after absorbing Du Yuqi's blood, the color of the scabbard began to change, slowly changing from dark black to a blue-black color. At the same time, the spiritual imprint inside was triggered again, and the next information began to flash repeatedly in Du Yuqi's mind:

"Oshado."

Du Yuqi silently recited it in his heart several times, then turned his head and said:

"The next prompt appeared, it is Oshado."

Everyone looked at each other,

seemingly they didn't know this place. Yangzi said at this time:

"The pronunciation of Oshado seems to be a bit old. I have been to the chapel here before and heard The scripture the elders recited has a similar pronunciation. I'll go find out for you. It should be the name many years ago. "

Soon, Yangzi sent a message:

"Oshado was the name more than 300 years ago. Now it is called Lansat Ruins. This place is not difficult to find, but you need to leave the city."

After hearing this news, Du Yuqi also felt helpless. If he had to leave the city, it would mean that he would lose the protection of the Steel Bear Knights. Now the power of the Zero organization is at its peak with a great victory. Once they target it, it will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, the furious Steel Bear Knights also launched four or five cleanups in Cantwin. To some extent, they even adhered to the simple and crude principle of killing the wrong person rather than letting him go. For the local snakes who have been entrenched here for decades, such cleanups are undoubtedly quite effective. I believe that most of the hidden players of the Zero organization have been killed in such cleanups, and the remaining ones should be ordered to hide and keep their troops still to save themselves.

In this case, Du Yuqi felt that as long as he strictly controlled and kept the secret, he would still have a great chance of not being detected by the other party. After discussing with his companions, Du Yuqi decided to go alone because doing so would minimize the target.

Although entering the ruins at the same time is a huge danger, Du Yuqi did not enter rashly, but entered with relevant tokens. In this way, having more people may not be useful. The biggest threat should still come from the Zero organization, so the risk of being discovered by them should be reduced as much as possible.

At this time, Du Yuqi and his friends had moved to another place to live, and the identity of the one who helped before, Wattley, was extraordinary. She was a fortune teller, and it was even said that she was very close to the realm of "the one who sings fortunes". She had a transcendent status in Cantwin, so it was a piece of cake for her to help Du Yuqi and his friends.

The next morning, Du Yuqi set off after a makeover. At this time, even if he stood face to face with Lin and others, it was estimated that Lin and others would not be able to recognize him. Even so, under Yangzi's arrangement, Du Yuqi spent an hour and changed three carriages before he stood on the streets of Cantwin again. His dress and appearance at this time were no different from those of travelers from other places. Unless someone came close and conducted a targeted and careful search, his identity would hardly be discovered.

***

Of course, Du Yuqi, who was standing on the street, didn't know how to get to the Lansat ruins, but if he had money, of course he could find someone to take him there, so he called a means of transportation commonly known as "land boat" by the locals. In other words, it is a two-wheeled vehicle pulled by a camel. People can sit under the roof, while the top of the roof is quite flat and can be stacked with very heavy goods. It can be regarded as a dual-purpose passenger and cargo vehicle, because the carriage of the two-wheeled vehicle looks like It looks like a small boat, hence the name.

Lu Chuan's driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a beard all over his face. He looked very weathered, but he could tell he had a cheerful personality and was very talkative. From what he said, he learned that the Nalansat ruins were only called by outsiders, because there were indeed ruins there, but the locals usually called that place a mass grave.

Executed criminals, unclaimed corpses, corpses left behind by murderers, etc., will all be thrown to that place casually. In addition, there was a plague in Cantwen thirty years ago, and at least 100,000 of the victims died. There were thousands of people, and the bodies of these people were all abandoned there, so no one was allowed to approach there, and only a few people who were interested in the ruins would go there.

Obviously, this coachman regarded Du Yuqi as the kind of tourist who was looking for novelties, so he kindly emphasized the dangers of going to the mass graves, trying to dispel the rash impulse of this generous gentleman, while Du Yuqi smiled. Nodding, he kept emphasizing his pursuit and love for art.

But at this moment, Lu Chuan suddenly turned and walked onto a wide avenue with a wide view. There were two neat rows of coconut trees planted on both sides, and the houses on both sides looked a little strange. The small stone building with a mottled and granular red surface has three floors in total. It looks like it has experienced a long period of damage, like an ancient ruin.

Moreover, these houses are made of stones of the same material, uniform system, and uniform color. However, from the colorful clothes, sheets, underwear and other things hanging on them, it can be seen that the people living inside are still the same. civilian.

The camel also ran happily on this road, and its speed increased suddenly. However, when Du Yuqi discovered that the patterns on the sidewalks on both sides of the road were made of shells, he suddenly felt something in his heart. As if he had been caught, he knocked on the wooden board next to him and said:

"What's the name of this road?"

"Shell Avenue, sir. Are you surprised to see such a road in a place full of yellow sand and dust?" The coachman showed his chatty nature again:

"That's what I thought when I first saw this road. It is a miracle. I think it is as great a miracle as the Hanging City! These shells were dug out when building this road. It is said that in Hundreds of years ago, this place was basically a lake, which was very suitable for the growth of this kind of shells. However, the lake dried up, so they became extinct until they were dug out during road construction."

Du Yuqi silently stared at the shells used to pave the floor. He did not see things as superficially as the coachman. From the patterns, it could be seen that these shells were all of the same type, but the sizes of the shells were very different, ranging from palm-sized to palm-sized. There are ones the size of a little finger, and the numbers are all even.

A lake that can produce such a large number of shells must be large in area and have rivers flowing into it. So under normal circumstances, even if it dries up, it will go through a cycle of three to five years. With this buffer time, then Enough for these shells to be moved along the river, so under normal circumstances most of the shells dug out should be palm-sized and die naturally.

However, the shells used to pave the road at this time were evenly distributed in large, medium and small sizes. What does this mean? This shows that these shells died instantly in a short period of time when they became extinct.

This is like an archaeologist discovering a cemetery. Under normal circumstances, the majority of people in the cemetery should be middle-aged and elderly, with very few teenagers or children. If the proportion of teenagers in this cemetery is surprisingly high, it is close to the life of society. When compared to human proportions, it goes without saying that there must have been a large-scale plague, or a heinous massacre. This principle can naturally be applied to shells. wt
