Origin Chapter 125: Bronze Giant


Only Huang Hailin can answer Wu Zhongyuan's question, "There are two possibilities, one is that they found the way to the altar and are continuing to go deeper. Wandering in the labyrinth."

After Huang Hailin finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked, "Which one do you think is more likely?"

Huang Hailin shrugged, "That's not a good idea."

"Look around and look around." Wang Xinran turned and walked towards the row of corpses on the right. Wu Zhongyuan followed, while Yang Yi and Xiao Qin observed and searched against the stone wall.

A total of eight corpses were hanged, of which five were mummified, and the other three were mercenaries. Because the stone chamber was very dry, the five mummified corpses had been dehydrated and turned into mummies. Because of the many years of death, the clothes on their bodies were early It was completely decayed, and the dark brown flesh was exposed. The five mummified corpses were all men, and there were no tattoos on their bodies. The people who were hanged would open their mouths without exception, and their expressions were painful and hideous.

There are some sundries scattered under the corpse, there are pieces of clothes, weapons and some small objects. Although there are five mummified corpses, there are only four weapons, two knives, a sword, and an axe. The sundries are a few shells that have been softened and a few pieces of jade.

The currency of our country before the Shang Dynasty was neither gold, silver nor copper coins, but shell coins. These shells were the currency of a certain era before the Shang Dynasty. The weapons were all made of bronze, and the hardness of bronze was average. The weapons made by it are not even magic weapons.

Peiyu is the most valuable for research. Jade wares of different periods have different characteristics. These pieces of jade have smooth surfaces and ancient carvings. It is a distinctive feature of the jades of the Xia Dynasty.

Looking at its material, there are sapphire, Dushan jade, and turquoise. People in different periods have different preferences for jade. The people of the Xia Dynasty put more emphasis on the color than the variety of jade. The so-called color is the color of jade, and The seed is the texture of the jade. The people of the Xia Dynasty only looked at the color of the jade, and did not care whether the texture of the jade was fine and clean.

"The five of them should have lived in the middle of the Xia Dynasty." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran was examining the bullet casings on the ground at this time. The three hanged mercenaries fired their guns in a panic before they died, and some bullet casings were scattered on the ground. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan say, Wang Xinran raised his head and asked. , "Can you tell which warrior is here?"

"The Xia Dynasty has existed for about five hundred years. These jade articles obviously have the characteristics of the middle Xia Dynasty. According to the time, the most likely one is the warrior who went to 1947 BC." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What's up with this warrior?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan recalled, "This man is a young man named Wu Kui, who was twenty-five years old when he set off. This man is very good at light skills and is good at using bows and arrows."

"What character is this person?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Wang Xinran looked at him suspiciously. She knew what was written on the little wizard's sheepskin. In order to facilitate Wu Zhongyuan's search and identification, the little wizard had a description of the appearance and character of each warrior.

"This person is dumb, and his personality should be relatively withdrawn." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran nodded and then reached out and grabbed the belt of one of the mercenaries, trying to pull the man's body down, but the buckle was very tough, and she tried to no avail.

"If it was so easy to break, they wouldn't have died back then." Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the mummified corpses and said, these mummified corpses had weapons on them when they were trapped, and they would not try to cut them off before they were hanged. noose.

Wang Xinran illuminated the corpses of the mercenaries with lights, "their backpacks are still on them, and their weapons have not been taken away."

"Those who survived may have left in a hurry." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"No," Wang Xinran pointed to the rifle* at the waist of the corpse, "Look, *is still there, they used to spend a lot of bullets before, even if they didn't take away provisions and guns, at least they should take away*."

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at her.

"I mean they may not be able to see the real scene in the stone chamber." While speaking, Wang Xinran clings to the corpse and removes the backpack and guns and ammunition from the corpse.

"It shouldn't be," Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the debris on the ground, "these things have been flipped over, and there are traps behind the stone platform, and people have also gone down, if they can't see the real scene in the stone room , how can you flip to find it?"

Wang Xinran still feels that her opinion is correct, but there is no sufficient reason to refute Wu Zhongyuan.

Two of the three corpses were carrying automatic rifles. Wang Xinran took off all the rifles and guns, carried one on his back, and gave the other to Huang Hailin, leaving six guns, three for each person.

Everyone only carried pistols. This windfall made up for their lack of firepower, but unfortunately there were too few bullets, less than 100 rounds per person.

Xiao Qin and Yang Yi had already circled around the stone room at this time, and could not find a potential exit.

Huang Hailin was not surprised by such a result, "You guys take a rest first, and leave the matter of finding an exit to me."

"How's your research going?" Xiao Qin pointed at the copper plate that Huang Hailin was holding in his hand.

"It can be confirmed that this round bead is the skeleton of a dragon-like creature, and if nothing else, it should be the nose bone of a mirage," Huang Hailin said. "The role of the copper plate is not only to fix, but also to enlarge the ball. The breath emitted, you can test it with an instrument, this thing is likely to be radioactive."

The instrument for detecting radiation is not very large. Xiao Qin carried one with him. The test result was just as Huang Hailin said. Although it has experienced many years of decay, the beads still have strong radiation. This special Radiation will generate electromagnetic interference, which indirectly affects people's brain waves.

"Their scientific and technological development has reached this level?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little surprised.

Huang Hailin shook his head, "This has nothing to do with science and technology, they just know it, but don't know why, just like many people eat steamed buns and rice, they just know that rice and steamed buns can satisfy their hunger, but they don't know that they provide are mainly carbohydrates.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, then asked Xiao Qin, "Can you confirm their previous movement in the stone chamber?"

"I have checked carefully," Xiao Qin said. "There are a total of eight people's footprints in the stone room, of which seven people's footprints are concentrated near the entrance, and another person's footprints are scattered throughout the stone room, but this A person's footprints are relatively messy, and it is difficult to determine the specific trajectory of his movement."

"What kind of shoes are the people walking in the stone room wearing?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Flat shoes, only this person's shoe print is different among the eight people." Xiao Qin said.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that the person walking in the stone room was Lin Qingming.

Wang Xinran took over, "Your brother knows magic?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, but after shaking his head, he suddenly remembered that the ghost painting talisman was in Lin Qingming's hands. Lin Qingming probably drew some kind of talisman, which temporarily eliminated the influence of those mirage bones on him, and he entered the stone room. Its purpose is not difficult to guess, one is to find the spirit stone, and the other is to find an exit.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's abnormal expression, Wang Xinran asked, "Will it happen?"

“He doesn’t know how to spell, but he can draw talismans. He may have used some kind of talisman to temporarily eliminate the effect of illusions on him.” Wu Zhongyuan said, and after speaking, he asked Xiao Qin, “The footprints of others are concentrated in the Near the entrance, does this mean that they have returned to the passage we just walked through?"

"It should be like this." Xiao Qin nodded.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's worried face, Wang Xinran said next to him, "You don't have to worry too much, the organs in the passage can't kill them, you can only force them back here, as long as we find the exit, they can follow Get out of trouble."

The job of finding the exit can only be handed over to Huang Hailin. Huang Hailin did not search for the edge, but focused on checking the left and right sides of the entrance and the vicinity of the stone steps.

The people trapped here see all illusions, so the mechanism to open the next passage should not be very secretive. Based on the situation of the previous levels, the mechanism to open the exit should be set at the sacrifice. Where people can reach it, they open it up as they go.

After inspection, no abnormal protrusions were found on the stone wall, and then began to check the ground.

Xiao Qin is good at tracking, and those who are good at tracking are those who are good at observing details. With Xiao Qin's help, Huang Hailin quickly found the suspicious location, just behind the first stone steps, on the ground there There is a fist-sized depression slightly below the ground.

"This is most likely caused by the sacrificial person hitting with a scepter." After Huang Hailin finished speaking, he stomped at the depression. After one kick, the mechanism was activated, and the originally ascending stone steps began to sink slowly. , the shortest step sinks the least, and the tallest step sinks the most.

After a while, all the ascending steps sank into the ground, and a right-going passage appeared on the right side of the descending steps. Xiao Qin descended a few steps and illuminated it diagonally with a flashlight. "There are no footprints in the passage."

Everyone nodded their heads when they heard the words. The absence of footprints in the passage means that Zhao Ying and others did not find the exit, but returned to the passage they came from.

"Now we're walking ahead, be careful." Wang Xinran removed the gun from the rifle and checked the bullet.

Huang Hailin and others were checking guns, and they all responded casually when Wang Xinran said this.

Worrying that the steps would rise automatically after everyone went down, Wu Zhongyuan took half a bottle of mineral water from his bag and put it in the depression.

When he did this, he didn't shy away from everyone. Everyone knew why he did it, and they didn't stop him. When everyone passed through the passage, the mechanism was always changing. Zhao Ying and others were in it, so they naturally knew they had come down. .

Wang Xinran and Huang Hailin are still in the front, Wu Zhongyuan is in the middle, Xiao Qin and Yang Yi are in the last,

Going down to the bottom of the steps, everyone used strong flashlights to shine in. Inside is a wide stone room, in the shape of a circle, with an area of ​​about 800 to 1,000 square meters, neither very large nor very small. In the center of the stone room stood two bronze giants with a height of three meters.

There are three bronze giants in the stone room, but one of them is lying on the ground and is visually damaged.

After a brief observation, Wang Xinran said in a deep voice, "Don't get close, just break it up..."
