A thick smell of smoke drifted in the air. When the smoke dispersed, a statue of a human-faced bird stood in front of everyone.
Along the way, everyone looked at the rainforest, but they didn't see any traces of the Mother Kingdom of the West. They always felt that it was unreal.
Now that the Human-Faced Bird had appeared, everyone finally realized that they had really arrived at the core region of the mysterious ancient country. Thinking about it was a happy thing, but when they actually saw it, coupled with their previous experience, it made everyone feel a little terrified.
Everyone hurriedly entered. Just as they entered, a loud rumble sounded from behind. The place that had just exploded was once again blocked by falling rocks on both sides.
In any case, they still had explosives in their hands. Moreover, they might not necessarily return the way they came. Regarding these falling rocks, everyone did not take them seriously. At most, they would just explode again later.
Innocent took the lead and went forward to examine these statues. Due to the long time and the influence of the environment, the surface of these statues had long been covered with a thick layer of moss. He could only roughly distinguish the shape, but he could not see the details.
Innocent took out a dagger and began to scrape off the surface of the statue. Gradually, the true appearance of the statue was revealed.
Amidst the moss was a statue of a human-faced bird. The style of the carving was the same as the one on the earthen jar found in the shipwreck in the desert. It was obvious that it was a carving from the Western Mother Country. After a thousand years of corrosion, the outer layer of the stone statue was covered with dennacles, and it was a little blurry at the moment.
After removing the sarcophagus, the details of the stone sculpture were also unearthed.
The bird's head was a strange face that looked like a human but not a human. It was expressionless and looked unusually cold. There were five skulls carved on its feet, which seemed to be the remains of their bones.
"Damn, na?ve, isn't this…"
Fatty exclaimed. Innocent was also shocked. Ning and the others saw this and went forward to check. Other than Zhang Muzhi, these people had also been to Changbai Mountain. When they saw the bird statue, their mouths were wide open.
They had all seen this thing before. It was exactly the same as the strange birds in the underground crack of Changbai Mountain!
These stone sculptures were exquisitely crafted and lifelike. From the looks of it, they were probably painted at the beginning of the carving. If one did not pay attention, they would really think that this strange bird had flown here from the Changbai Mountains.
"Looks like this Human-faced Bird is the prototype of the Queen Mother of the West's totem, the Three Green Birds. The Queen Mother of the West might have mastered some unknown technology, so she was able to domesticate this kind of fierce bird!”
Zhang Muzhi analyzed," The underground mausoleum of Changbai Mountain must have something to do with the disappearance of the Mother Kingdom of the West and the migration to the east. It's very likely that these birds originally lived here and were later brought to the east by the immigrants who split off and became the guardian of the mausoleum!”
Hearing this, Innocent thought for a moment and nodded."Lord Zhang's words reminded me of something. Think about it, the terrain here is very similar to the imperial mausoleum under the Changbai Mountains. They are both in a huge basin. From the looks of it, the Changbai Mountains should be a replica of the Western Queen Mother Palace.”
"F * ck, according to what you said, this is also the hometown of those ghost birds. If we go in like this, aren't we feeding them?”Fatty wiped his sweat and said in a muffled voice.
When everyone heard this, fear appeared on their faces. He was afraid that Fatty's prediction would come true.
Zhang Muzhi smiled and said,""Fatty, don't be so pessimistic. I don't think it's that bad. After thousands of years of changes, the original oasis has become a desert. With less food, I'm afraid this bird has already become extinct here!”
"No matter what, the Three Blue Birds are the totem of the Queen Mother of the West, and the Human-faced Bird is a vicious bird, the guardian of the Queen Mother of the West. These statues are placed here as a warning to outsiders, which also means that we have officially stepped into the territory of the Queen Mother of the West Palace!”
Hearing this news, everyone felt slightly relieved and began to observe their surroundings.
"Look!"
Pan Zi pointed at the statue and asked. Everyone gathered around and Pan Zi said,""Each of these statues has these strange holes on them. They are fist-sized and bottomless. There are three holes on every statue, one on each of the wings and one on the abdomen.”
"Hey, Master Pan, what was I thinking?”Fatty looked at the statue and said," It must have been those sculptors who did the work. The Queen Mother of the West didn't pay them, so they made this thing a defective product to deliberately disgust the Queen Mother of the West!"”
"Don't talk nonsense!" " These things must have their special uses," said Naive." Pan Zi, don't touch them yet. Be careful of traps!"”
"Sigh, I say naive…D * mn, what is it?”
Before Fatty could finish, he was interrupted. However, the one who interrupted him was not the person present, but a bird that descended from the sky.
Fatty looked at the bird on the ground and immediately smiled. He said,"Heh, interesting. There's such a beautiful thing as a pie falling from the sky!”
As he spoke, Fatty reached out to pick up the bird on the ground. Just as he was about to bend down, he was pulled back by the little brother.
"Hey, little brother, do you want a share too? As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. After I kill this little guy, I'll give you a share!”
"Something's wrong!"
The young man ignored Fatty and spoke for the first time.
