Tomb Raiders: After living in seclusion for a hundred years, my little brother invited me out!

Chapter 333 Mummy?

"everything is possible."

Zhang Yang said lightly.

"If I follow my guess, I'm afraid that the bronze tree in front of us is either a sacred tree like Fusang Ruomu, or the God of Simu.

These two types are basically the sacred trees that ancient civilizations needed to use in blood sacrifices. "

Speaking of which, Zhang Yang stretched out his finger to the direction of the bronze tree again and said:

"You watched the blood continue to flow down these grooves, whether it was lines or lines, it was very smooth, and there seemed to be no pauses or barriers.

That means that someone has already designed this in advance. Once blood is injected, the blood will inevitably flow down, otherwise it will not be able to run so smoothly.

Coupled with the dried blood residue around the groove on the bronze branch, it is enough to prove that all of this is real. "

Wu Xie had to admire Zhang Yang's keen observation and insight ability, and he could have a panoramic view of everything.

"Mr. Zhang, could such a cruel and cold-blooded priest come from last week? After all, only in that era would such cruel things happen."

Wu Xie spoke again.

Zhang Yang shook his head uncertainly and said:

"I'm really not very clear about this. According to some sporadic records in ancient books, I just know that this kind of blood sacrifice has a strong sense of ritual and is highly valued by those in power.

It takes about hundreds of people to sacrifice at a time, and it is precisely because of the cruelty of this behavior that it will be directly hidden in later generations.

However, it is said that this blood sacrifice has a great effect. As long as the heart is sincere enough and the goal of the sacrifice satisfies the sacrificed thing, any wish can be fulfilled. "

"No, it depends on satisfaction. If you are not satisfied, isn't your work in vain?"

The old itchy couldn't help teasing in a low voice.

Zhang Yang and Wu Xie subconsciously looked at Old Itchy, and Old Itchy explained with some embarrassment:

"Don't get me wrong, you two, I didn't mean that. I was just talking too fast and said something wrong. Don't mind, don't mind."

Talking about the old itch, he deliberately lowered his head and coughed twice to cover up the embarrassing expression on his face.

Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"I didn't expect the wisdom of the ancients to be ruthless, but it took a lot of effort to design such a masterpiece, and it was just for killing and offering sacrifices. It's really stupid."

As long as he thinks of countless slaves being stuck on the branches of these bronze trees and letting them drain every drop of blood from their bodies, Wu Xie's heart will feel hairy.

If what Zhang Yang said was true, wouldn't the one-time sacrifice kill hundreds of people? It's really hard to understand the ancients' thinking.

"Mr. Zhang, Old Wu, I think we'd better get out of here first, I think these grooves look weird anyway."

At this time, the more Lao Xi looked at those grooves, the more he felt the chill on his back, especially when he thought that the blood of countless people had flowed down these grooves, turning the whole bronze tree into a blood column. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

"Ah."

Zhang Yang nodded in agreement.

Although I don't know what is being sacrificed here, but it is always a bad thing, otherwise how could it be possible to use living people to sacrifice.

If this thing is awakened, I'm afraid all three of them will be in danger.

After that, the three of them continued to climb up again, but the more they climbed, the more dense the branches of the bronze tree became.

"Mr. Zhang, why are there more and more branches, it seems something is wrong."

Wu Xie spoke out of breath.

"It looks like we'll be reaching the top soon."

Zhang Yang had a premonition that there must be some unknown danger lurking here.

Judging from the situation where Uncle Tai fell to his death just now, I'm afraid it's not far from here.

"above?"

Suddenly, Wu Xie's eyes lit up with new hope.

As long as you can crawl out of this ghost place, it's better than anything else.

The old itch is also a burst of joy from the bottom of my heart, as long as I can go out.

Soon, the three of them continued to climb for a certain distance. At this time, the branches were completely dense, covering the entire bronze tree tightly.

Even crawling seems a bit difficult, especially when the branches are criss-crossed and grow together, it is really difficult for ordinary people to avoid being hooked.

Soon, the clothes of Wu Xie and Lao You were scraped to pieces by those branches, and even a lot of flesh was scratched with bloodstains.

Only Zhang Yang was safe and sound, even the clothes on his body were intact.

Wu Xie and Lao You gritted their teeth in pain, but they didn't dare to say anything, and continued to follow Zhang Yang and climb up.

Soon, Zhang Yang stopped.

Seeing this, Wu Xie and Lao Xie hugged the bronze tree and panted heavily.

If they continue to climb down, I'm afraid they will really lose their strength and fall down like Uncle Tai did just now.

The branches here are so thin and densely packed that it is impossible to climb and walk normally.

I'm afraid it's normal for Uncle Tai to fall.

Zhang Yang carefully observed the densely packed branches above his head. If he continued to go up to a distance of seven or eight meters, they would already be as dense as thorns.

If you want to walk over, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

"Mr. Zhang, looking at the surrounding stone walls, it seems that they are somewhat different from those below."

Suddenly Wu Xie's voice came.

Zhang Yang looked sideways at those stone walls, and found that these stone walls turned out to be natural bell-stones and some dissolved rock curtains.

However, it is clear that there are traces of artificial excavation here.

And the section just below is basically formed naturally.

Therefore, starting from here, it means that someone has been here. As for the following paragraph, I'm afraid I have to say something else.

And behind those rock curtains, it turned out to be a small pothole-like cave.

Not very deep, you can see the bottom.

There are a lot of these potholes, densely packed on the entire stone wall, and there seems to be a bit of an infiltrating atmosphere.

"Mr. Zhang, what are these bumpy things? Why are they so strange?"

The old itchy couldn't help asking curiously.

Zhang Yang looked at the openings and found nothing unusual, but he had a very ominous premonition in his heart.

These stone walls are only about ten meters away from them. If there is really something, I'm afraid they won't even have time to hide.

"What the hell, let's get out of this damn place, it's so scary."

Old Tickle cursed under his breath.

"Let's go."

As Zhang Yang said, he continued to crawl forward, but he had just climbed two steps, but suddenly stopped, and raised the flashlight in his hand to shine towards the top of his head.

When he saw clearly what was hanging on it, he froze for a moment.

Wu Xie and Lao You were so frightened that their mouths opened their mouths.

"This, what is this? Yes, is it a mummy?"
