After walking for more than half an hour, they came to the slightly inclined Black Tower. There were no decent houses nearby except for the Black Tower, only weathered earth walls.
"The palace here might be built underground. There's too much sand in the city. Let's go to the Black Tower and see if we can find the entrance to the underground palace.”
The base of the tower and more than half of the arched stone doors were buried in the sand. The black tower was completely carved from the large stones of Mount Zagramma and was six stories high.
At this moment, Professor Chen suddenly muttered to himself,"That's right. Why didn't I think of that?"”
Professor Chen said as he suddenly entered the tower. He took a look at the things on the first floor and immediately ran to the second floor.
Seeing that Professor Chen had suddenly gone 'crazy', Hu Bayi panicked and hurriedly said to the few of them,"Fatty, come with me. Old Zhou, bring your men and follow behind.”
Pfft, in the past, only Fatty called me Old Zhou. Now, you call me Old Zhou too. I'm younger than you guys, okay?
Just as Zhou You was cursing in his heart, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also caught up.
"Xue Li, take out your gun. Xiao Ye and Xiao Sa will walk in the middle.”
Previously, the Wang family had obtained a total of four AKs. Now, they had a total of six guns. Not only did Zhou You get an AK, but Chu Jian also had an AK.
On the other hand, although Sa Dipeng had an extra shotgun, he did not give it to him. He was too timid. If it went off accidentally, it would definitely not be a joke. Therefore, everyone left the shotgun to Old Master An Liman. It was good that he had something to protect himself, right?
"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I'm behind you. You're safe.”
Zhou You didn't say anything. He bent down and entered the black tower. They didn't stay on the first or second floor until they reached the third floor.
At this moment, the old professor was saying something to Hu Bayi. When Professor Chen saw Zhou You and the others coming up, he said to them,""I think this Jingjue Nation is the source of the giant pupil stone statue.”
No one doubted this. Weren't the stone statues with huge black pupils carved from black stones? And those black boulders were unique to the mountain.
"Professor, what is this tower used for? I see that there is a statue on every floor of this tower. Are they here to offer sacrifices?”
Professor Chen shook his head slightly." I'm guessing that this tower is only used to show off one's status. There should be another place for sacrifice. Look, there's not even a table or an incense burner other than the statue. No matter how different the culture is, there should be an altar!”
"The first level represents livestock. The second floor was filled with ordinary people. The eyes on their statues were different from the ones on the third floor. Moreover, they were kneeling, so they should be slaves. The third level was this giant pupil statue. This should be someone from Jingjue Country.”
Professor Chen paused and continued,""Just now, I saw a stone ball on the top of the tower outside. It was shaped like an eye, representing the worship of this nation for the eye. Let's go up and take a look. Let's see what has a higher status in Jingjue Country.”
Everyone was curious about what Professor Chen said. They were all curious about what was on it. "I bet it's a statue of the Queen." Fatty said first.”
Zhou You smiled." There should be a statue of the Queen, but there are still three levels above. It's not just a statue of the Queen."”
Hearing Zhou You's words, everyone became even more curious. Yes, there were three levels above, so what were the other two levels? Which floor would the statue of the Queen be on?
Hu Ba Yi followed Fatty Wang to take a step forward, but when the two of them reached the fourth level, they were both stunned.
Fatty Wang looked at the Naga statue in front of him and said to Hu Bayi without turning his head,"Old Hu, don't you think this statue looks a little like the strange snake at the mountain pass?”
Hu Ba nodded.
At this moment, Professor Chen, Zhou You, and the others also came up one after another. The most authoritative Professor Chen stepped forward and looked at the statue in amazement."This seems to be the guardian of the kingdom. Little Zhou said that they revere snakes and worship their eyes. Do you think this stone statue fully reflects the ancient people's faith?”
"I just don't know what kind of snake it is. I've never heard of it before. Shirley, you work for a geography magazine. Have you heard of this strange snake?”
Shirley Yang knew about it, but only knew that it was from her grandfather's notes, but she did not know what they were called. The notebook only had a vague name for this snake. It was the Giant Eyed Strange Snake, the Devil's Envoy.
"Never heard of it!"
Zhou You's voice suddenly rang out," I do know their names. This thing is called Pure Vision Agama. It was the Cave of Ghosts, the guardian of the demons.”
"And I know something unimaginable. Legend had it that they originated from a mother snake summoned by the Queen of Exquisite Skills. This mother snake would give birth to snake eggs that were the size of eyes, and each egg would have hundreds of small snakes. The ones we saw before were little snakes, but this stone statue in front of us wasn't a manifestation of faith or desire, but the most original mother snake. I don't know its size, but there are hundreds of little snakes in one egg. I'm afraid it's at least five meters long.”
