"From the looks of these bones, they should be human corpses. They didn't die long ago. They probably encountered a storm in the desert like us and hid in this ancient city to avoid the sandstorm. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed and were trapped here forever.”Qin Mu said indifferently.
"Then why did it turn into bones? The corpse shouldn't have decomposed so quickly, right?”
"It's probably related to the animals around here. After these people died, their corpses were eaten by the animals.”Qin Mu continued.
When they heard this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The scene of being eaten by animals seemed to have appeared in his mind.
At this moment, they couldn't help but rejoice that they had come together with Qin Mu.
Otherwise, even if they managed to avoid the sandstorm, they would probably be eaten by the animals!
Thinking of this, everyone could not help but shiver. Hu Bayi said,""Why don't we bury these bones? They were pitiful enough. If they died, so be it. Even their corpses were eaten. Moreover, sleeping with such a large pile of bones was really a little uncomfortable.”
"No problem!" Fatty Wang nodded.
Immediately after, the few of them began to dig and soon dug a hole.
Just as they were about to bury him…
Fatty Wang was stunned. He stood in front of the cave without moving. Seeing this, Hu Bayi asked,"Fatty, what are you doing? Hurry up and get out of the way."
"Come over and take a look. There seems to be something underground.”
"What is it?"
"Could it be that we have found a treasure?”
“……”
Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn over. They looked into the hole and could indeed see a strange thing. However, because it was buried too deep, they could not see it clearly at all. Fatty Wang dug for a long time before finally everyone could see what was underground.
It was actually a huge stone statue.
The eye was carved into a very large size, about the size of a human palm.
Looking at this thing, Fatty Wang smiled and said,""Damn, this stone statue looks too strange, right? Who was this sculpture? It shouldn't be human, right? However, I, Fatty Wang, have been to many temples. Why have I never seen such a stone statue?”
"I feel that this stone statue is somewhat familiar. Aiguo, have you seen it before?”Professor Chen looked at the stone statue in front of him and asked.
"Professor, have you forgotten? We saw similar stone statues when we were in the West Border. Their pupils are the same size, but we'll have to dig them out to find out their body shape.”Aiguo suggested.
"That makes sense. In that case, Comrade Aiguo, bring your men and dig again. This stone statue has an important historical significance for archaeology. Perhaps we can discover a new historical dynasty.”Professor Chen's interest was piqued.
One had to know that such a god's stone statue.
It was a feudal belief created by rulers to protect their own dynasties.
Therefore, as long as one traced the source.
He would definitely find something.
At this moment, Qin Mu also noticed the appearance of the stone statue. He immediately recalled that there seemed to be a nest of army ants in the giant pupil stone statue in the original novel, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.
"Why, Comrade Qin? If this stone statue was dug out, it would have a deep archaeological significance.”Professor Chen asked in confusion.
"We haven't figured out the situation here yet, so we can't act rashly in case of any danger. Besides, we're here to find Jingjue Ancient City, so there's no need to create more trouble, right? If anything happened because of this giant pupil stone statue, it would be troublesome.”Qin Mu asked.
"That makes sense. Old Qin is right. Our goal is to find the Ancient City of Jingjue. Professor Chen, it's better if you don't move around.”Hu Bayi echoed. Even though he didn't know that there was a nest of army ants under the giant pupil stone statue, it didn't affect his trust in Qin Mu.
As long as Qin Mu felt that there was danger, there would definitely be.
"That's right, these two little brothers are right. This giant pupil stone statue is the god of the desert. You can't touch the god, or you will suffer retribution.”An Liman said.
Professor Chen and the archeological team were still unwilling to give up.
However, Qin Mu had already spoken.
Thus, he could only give up.
After that, everyone sat together in twos and threes. Their gazes looked at the sandstorm outside with some hope on their faces. Currently, they only hoped that the sandstorm would stop as soon as possible. After all, sand had already surged into the ancient city ruins.
If the sandstorm continued.
They were probably going to be buried here forever.
Just as everyone was feeling melancholic, Xue Li Yang came to Qin Mu's side and said,""Thank you for last night. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have lost my sight.”
"It's alright! It's just a small matter." Qin Mu said with a smile.
"Do you find it strange that I have to go to Jingjue Ancient City? My father died because of the Ancient City of Jingjue, but I, as his daughter, still want to persevere? Even if they had to enter the desert during the windy season, they would not hesitate.”Xue Li Yang said.
Qin Mu didn't say anything when he heard that.
After all, at this time, compared to the person who was discussing, Shirley Yang needed an audience more.
"Ever since my father disappeared, I would have the same dream every night. In my dream, I dreamed of a pitch-black cave with a coffin hanging in it. The coffin was engraved with Ghost Cave Script, and there was a huge thing lying on the top of the coffin. However, I couldn't see what it was clearly. Every time I wanted to see it clearly, I would wake up from the dream. In the past six months, I have been troubled by this dream. I believe that this is a dream that my father gave me."It's very likely that it's the Queen of Jingjue. That's why I came here to uncover the secret of Jingjue Ancient City.”
When Xue Li Yang said this.
There was still a sense of dejection on his face.
Anyone at this age would be under a lot of pressure to bear such a heavy responsibility.
