Chapter 552 Throttle (7)

Everyone stepped on the slippery red wax on the ground, followed the human-shaped stone lamp all the way, and soon came to the end of the cemetery.This place is covered with red wax, of course we would not be so foolish as to think that these things are really just ordinary 'wax', so everyone was quite vigilant, but nothing happened all the way to the end, on the contrary, at the end of the light, A rather tall stone tablet appeared.

The stele is about three meters high, with a straight arch at the top and a straight bottom, and its shape is very similar to a tombstone.

When the light was turned on, the edge of the stone tablet was also covered with amoeba writing, while the center was densely engraved with writing.

Although the stele is large, it is also covered with a layer of red wax. In addition, the characters on the stele are dense and small, so even though we are in front of it, it is not easy to see what is written on it.

However, even through a layer of red wax, everyone can tell at a glance that the characters on it are not Chinese characters, nor do they belong to any kind of characters commonly used in ancient China. Instead, they are similar to what we see in the exchange The font on the "one-character plaque" I saw was very similar, and the lines were all crooked, which looked like ghostly symbols to people.

It seems that this Zerg race is not simple. Although there are not many people, it must have been inherited for a long time, and they have developed their own characters.No one in the team could understand it, and the old pervert obviously couldn't make a difference. He glanced up and down with the flashlight, then shook his head slightly.

Whether it was in the altar outside before or in this Zerg settlement, the chances of writing are very small. This shows that although the Zerg has writing, it is probably only used by a few people. Therefore, it can be engraved on such a large stone tablet. The above information must be quite important.

Xiao Qi lowered his voice and asked the old pervert: "Do you want to dig it down?"

Although I can't understand it now, if I dig it out, take it out, and find an expert in text deciphering, maybe I can get some information in the future.But if you want to rub these words, you have to clean up the red wax on the monument first, and then you can rub it. This will take a certain amount of time, so after Xiao Qi finished speaking, the old pervert said slowly: "No, we're running out of time." He said, bypassing the stele.

Although it has come to the end here, you can see the stone wall built of stones at the end, but there is actually a distance of about ten meters between the stone tablet and the stone wall.When the light in the old pervert's hand turned back, we discovered that the part behind the stele was actually different.

Eight stone-carved worm heads, four on the left and four on the left, were arranged on the ground behind the stone tablet, and in the middle of the two rows of worm heads was the door of an obvious underground passage, which was closed at the moment.

I can recognize the heads of these insects as centipede heads, scorpion heads, toad heads, and spider heads.

The bald head was surprised: "There is still a tunnel here?"

Daxun gave him a blank look, and said in a low voice, "How normal is this? The tomb must have been built underground. Our current floor should be a collective hall for sacrificing the dead, similar to the 'mausoleum' in Han culture. , mausoleums, mausoleums, upper mausoleums and lower tombs, upper mausoleums are for the living, for the living to worship the dead, and the lower tombs are for the dead. Even if the Zerg people don’t know Feng Shui, it is impossible to put the corpses of the dead directly In this hall, otherwise, wouldn’t the entire settlement be stinky and plagued by corpses?”

The bald head showed a sudden realization, and said: "In other words, there are all dead people under this stone gate?" He seemed to have thought of something, and said to the old pervert with a boxer: "Boss, I bet, the place you are looking for, It must be down there!"

Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Jin Le asked slowly, "Oh? Are you so sure?"

The bald head hissed, and said: "Isn't there a carving inside the altar? There are many stone pillars there. Think about it, what are these stone pillars used for? They are used for support! They are only needed to stabilize the building structure." It is used. So the place where the stone pillar is located must be underground. If it is a hollowed-out mass burial below, it will definitely need to be reinforced, so there must be many load-bearing stone pillars, and you see..." He pointed the flashlight towards the The first dozen, motioned us to look towards the stone wall.

The stone wall here is not the same as the stone wall of the trading ground. The trading ground is more like being pulled out of the rock directly, so the stone wall is a natural rock; while the wall here is stacked with stones. It is obviously used for reinforcement, which shows that the part of the mass burial tomb has relatively few rocks, and it is likely to have an earth-stone structure. Earth is easier to collapse than rocks, so these stones must be piled up inside for reinforcement, which is equivalent to stone bricks.

The Zerg people are too lazy to burn stone bricks. Anyway, there are many stones in the ravine, so they use local materials to build them up with stones. Therefore, the light hits the stone wall, and you can see many gaps between the stones.

The Mediterranean on one side heard the words, nodded yes, and said that the bald head's analysis was quite reasonable. I also thought it was the case when I heard it. What would he do to me without the mask the corpse wore?
I stood at the edge of the crowd and looked over in turn. Apart from the old pervert himself, there were Xiaoqi, Daxun, Baldhead, Mediterranean and Shijiu in the team. Among these people, except for Shijiu and Xiaoqi, who were thin The next three are all powerful, and although Shijiu and Xiao Qi are not big, one is a sniper, and the other is very skilled.

We are about to approach our destination. The current situation of Jin Le and I is really too passive.

The old pervert seemed a little impatient, and motioned for everyone to open the tunnel door.

Daxun checked it and said that the stone gate also has a stone lock, which cannot be opened by external force unless explosives are used, and the switch of the stone lock is also in those worm heads. The red wax was cleaned up.

The lower part of the main hall should have been hollowed out without any accidents. In this case, I really dare not use explosives casually.

The old pervert frowned, and said, "There are stone locks in the eight worm heads?"

Daxun nodded, and said: "The door leading to the mass burial tomb is relatively tightly sealed, it is indeed eight locks." The old pervert didn't say anything, and motioned for everyone to clean up the insect heads.

There are just eight people left in our team, and it happens that each person cleans up one, without wasting time.

Everyone squatted in front of a protruding stone worm head, took out their daggers and began to clean the red wax.

It is not necessary to clean out all of them. The switch of the stone lock is hidden in the worm's mouth, so we only need to clean out the part of the worm's mouth.Although these things look like wax, they are harder and not as easy to remove as real oil wax.

I chose a toad's head and poked it's mouth with a dagger. The wax was hard and it was not as easy as I imagined. After squatting there for 2 minutes, the mouth was half cleaned.
