Chapter 608 Relief
The reliefs on the tomb walls on both sides are all strange reliefs of human faces.

The reason why these reliefs are weird is that on the foreheads of these human faces, there are some strange creatures carved. These creatures are carved very delicately. A slight comparison between the two shows that the craftsmen paid more attention to the latter when carving.

There were no novices among the people present, so they could all recognize that these creatures were tomb guardians, but all the creature reliefs did not have eyes carved on them, which looked very strange.

Walking slowly along the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan suddenly saw a familiar relief.

There is a relief of a human face with three bronze fish with snake eyebrows carved on it.

This made Chen Ziyan stop subconsciously. According to the information he knew, the snake-browed bronze fish was, in a certain sense, Wang Canghai's personal symbol.

Therefore, the relief of the bronze fish with snake eyebrows that appears here may be hiding some information.

With the help of the searchlight, Chen Ziyan looked carefully and found that the human face serving as the carrier was fundamentally different from other human face reliefs. It was a face with obvious female features, while the other human face reliefs were all male.

The three snake-browed bronze fish on the human face are connected head to tail to form a unique ring, which results in each snake-browed bronze fish having a different shape.

"ring?"

Looking at this circle formed by the snake-browed bronze fish, Chen Ziyan somehow suddenly thought of the underwater tomb they were in.

If the layout of the underwater tomb has not changed, then this place can also be regarded as a special circulation space. He feels that there is probably a connection between the two.

However, there are too few clues at hand, and Chen Ziyan is not sure whether his idea is correct.

After memorizing all the details of the relief in front of him, Chen Ziyan continued to move deeper into the tomb passage.

After a while, when he saw the relief of the snake-browed bronze fish again, he immediately discovered the problem.

The reliefs on both walls of the tomb passage were also cyclical, repeating themselves at certain intervals, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find where the problem lay for a while.

It was not until Chen Ziyan saw the relief of the snake-browed bronze fish for the third time that he realized something was wrong. The human face reliefs that served as the carriers had changed.

The eyes of the human faces in the first round of reliefs were tightly closed, but in the second round, the eyes of these reliefs opened slightly. However, the change was too subtle, and his attention was focused on the reliefs of the creatures on the human faces at the time, so he did not notice it.

But in the third round of reliefs in front of him, the eyes of the human faces had changed more significantly, and a slit had appeared, so he noticed it.

At this moment, Dong Yanxia touched Chen Ziyan, and when he saw him looking over, he raised the underwater drawing board in his hand, on which was written:
"Master Chen, there's something wrong with these human face reliefs. They're opening their eyes!"

Are they opening their eyes?
When he first saw this sentence, Chen Ziyan subconsciously thought that Dong Yanxia had also noticed the changes in the relief, but then he thought about it and realized that it was not right, because if that was the case, there would be no need to describe it in this way.

Dong Yanxia's words don't sound like he's describing a dead object like a relief. Instead, they sound like he's describing... some kind of living thing?
Perhaps sensing Chen Ziyan's doubts, Dong Yanxia pointed in the direction behind them.

Chen Ziyan frowned slightly. He understood what the other party meant. There was also a problem with the relief at the back.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan gestured to others to be on guard, and he slowly retreated with the fox.

He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the relief would open its eyes! The reliefs with male features did not change, but when Chen Ziyan saw the female face relief in the second round, his heart sank suddenly.

Because the eyes of this relief were indeed different from before. They were not slightly open, but more like the third relief he had just seen, with a gap already revealed.

The relief is actually opening its eyes!
After confirming this, Chen Ziyan left without hesitation.

Logically he should observe them, but he knew better that if these reliefs were really living creatures, it would definitely not be a good choice to continue staying in this tomb passage.

It won’t be too late to explore what’s going on here later when you’re well prepared, but it’s better to leave now.

Chen Ziyan quickly returned to the team in front and said nothing, but just signaled everyone to follow him.

Although he didn't say anything, this performance was enough to explain the problem.

Most people saw the exchange between Chen Ziyan and Dong Yanxia just now and knew that they must have discovered something. Now Chen Ziyan's performance has undoubtedly verified it.

The atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense. Although these people were good players and had a lot of relevant experience, they were still nervous, but they were able to restrain themselves.

The team no longer observed while walking, and the pace of progress became very fast. It didn't take long before they passed the fifth round of reliefs.

Although Chen Ziyan did not stop to observe carefully, he would take a look at the relief of a female face with snake-browed bronze fish whenever he passed by.

When he saw the changes in the relief eyes, his heart sank, because the eyes of this person's face were already half open, and it seemed that they would be fully open soon.

Based on their previous speculation about the length of the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan estimated that they would have to pass through eight rounds of reliefs before they could reach the end of the tomb passage.

And they cannot be too concerned about speed. After all, they are in the water, not the more familiar land. If they go at full speed, their vigilance will inevitably be greatly reduced, which is not a good choice for them.

This also leads to a result, that is, they may not be able to leave this tomb passage before the relief's eyes are fully opened.

After thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan hesitated for a moment and did not tell it to others.

On the one hand, now is not the right time, but more importantly, he doesn't want to stir up people's hearts, which may lead to worse consequences.

Things developed just as Chen Ziyan had expected. When they passed the seventh round of reliefs, the eyes of the female face relief were completely open, and it looked like they would be fully open soon.

This means that the eyes of these reliefs will open completely just before they reach the eighth round of reliefs, or at the same time they arrive.

Chen Ziyan has already prepared himself for the worst as to what will happen then.

Even if the relief suddenly came to life and walked down from the tomb wall by itself, he would not be too surprised.

However, even though he thought this in his mind, Chen Ziyan still held the weapon in his hand.
