Chapter 43 Chapter 42 Chaos

Although these openings are also arched, their width is obviously much smaller, basically only one person can enter and exit, and they are arranged very closely, they don't seem to be used as passages. Moreover, when I saw these caves, I still had a vague sense of familiarity, and when I stepped forward to take a closer look, I couldn't help being horrified.The cave was indeed sealed, and there was a metal figure inside. I recognized that thing at a glance, it was actually a human-shaped coffin. The first time I saw this thing was in a sacrificial room behind the Spirit Palace. At that time, we still called it nanomaterials, and the human-shaped coffins in front of me are the same. The surface is as bright as new, and has hardly suffered any erosion.

I said to Shengnan: "Don't touch these human coffins, they may be full of living corpses, so many are very dangerous!" I am by no means alarmist, I have seen the power of that thing before, our weapons are all in the process of falling Lost, now unarmed, we can't stand one that just pops out. "Living corpse?" Katsuo said in disbelief, "How is it possible, what can be preserved for such a long time? Can it still live if it is sealed inside?" Although I also found it unbelievable, I didn't dare to be careless. I told her that we are in a different environment now, and nothing can be understood according to conventional thinking.

"I've seen this thing before. The ancestors of Nanling also used this kind of thing. It's very evil. We'd better be careful!" I looked around while talking, and found that the surroundings were all such stone caves, without exception, they were all filled with these human-shaped coffins. What we just entered was the only entrance, which means that this is a dead end. out.I worried and checked it carefully again, and it was still the same. I was quite disappointed at the moment, and I didn't want to waste any more time here, so I turned around and went back the same way.

The side roads here are too complicated, and we are all a little frustrated. According to this way of walking, we don’t know when we will find the exit, and the more wrong roads we walk, the faster our physical strength will be exhausted, and the situation will be more unfavorable to us. No way are we really going to be trapped here? I didn't dare to think about it anymore, when Katsuo interrupted my thoughts, she asked: "Hey, you said you've seen something exactly like that human-shaped coffin on it before?" I replied with certainty that I couldn’t be wrong, that thing had too much impact on me, how could I remember it wrongly, of course, what impressed me the most was the self-purification function of the human-shaped coffin, which is rare in the world, if you have the opportunity to take it out One, guaranteed to be a sensational discovery.

Katsuo continued: "If this is the case, we may have a little more hope. Have you found anything special?" My mind is in a mess, and I don't want to use my brain. I thought, if you find anything, just tell me. Why are you testing me? Brain and talking are exhausting. We don't have the energy to toss about it in this situation. Katsuo also realized this, and soon he stopped being impatient, and said directly: "Did you find out? From the similar ancient city, to trapping centipedes, to this kind of human-shaped coffin, it seems that many things in Nanling are completely imitated here. I think Nanling is actually the above-ground version of this underground kingdom that may have existed in the past!"

I nodded in agreement, and thought to myself that I have already seen that Nanling is a copycat, but how does this help us, so where does the so-called more hope come from? Katsuo added that according to the information they have, the earliest residents of Nanling actually crawled out of the ground. After years of reproduction, they finally adapted to life on land and gradually formed a simple civilization with hunting as their main industry. , and finally under the influence of Sinicization, it slowly transitioned to farming civilization until the establishment of a political power.So this is probably the remains of the earliest residents of Nanling.

Shengnan said: "If the ancient city of Nanling is completely modeled on this place, then if we look at the normal ancient city, where will the exit be located?" I thought about it for a while and found it reasonable, but even so, it was still difficult to find the exit.All that Katsuo said can only show that there is a close connection between this ruins and the ancient city of Nanling, and there may be a direct connection.But our biggest difficulty at the moment is time. If we search hard enough, we might be able to find it, but by then we are already too hungry to even open our eyes.

Things have come to this point and there is no other way to go. We returned along the original marked route and added some markers again in case of emergency. After walking for a while, I felt something was wrong. It was hard to describe this feeling, as if the road we walked was different from the one we had taken before.I just thought it was my brain disorder, and I didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, Katsuo suddenly stopped, bent down to look at the marks we put up before, and then said to me in surprise: "Strange, these The mark is wrong, it is different from the original one!"

"How is this possible! Don't you remember it wrong?" When Katsuo said this, I immediately frowned, and the feeling before became more obvious, but I still comforted her, "The forks here are very Chaos, it’s normal for you to remember wrongly.” Katsuo said with certainty: "No, I made these marks, and I remember them very clearly!" Katsuo explained the characteristics of the marks she made: These marks are all in the shape of a cross, using large stones to indicate the opposite direction , using small stones as indicating arrows, very regular, put a big stone on the left side of the mark, and a small stone on the right side.Katsuo also made marks in the jungle. She said that such distinctive marks can avoid being damaged by various factors such as animals to the greatest extent.

After checking a few more marks we left behind, Katsuo's face became serious, and he shook his head and said to me in disbelief: "Impossible, these marks seem to have been moved!" What Katsuo emphasized was that the marks had been moved by "people", and I was naturally aware of this, because all the marks I saw were not simply destroyed, but their positions and directions had changed. It is impossible to go back to the previous starting point.The other party obviously discovered the regularity of these marks we made, and consciously misled us, which is impossible for other things except people.

There are other people here?I couldn't help being startled, who could that be, that boy Adong?Thinking about it, I think it is impossible, not to mention how likely it is to meet him here, even if it is really him, just show up generously, there is no need to play peek-a-boo with us, it will not happen It's to amuse us deliberately!Could it be that there are still ancient ancestors here? A fool also knows how low this possibility is, but who on earth would do this?What is his purpose?Is it simply trying to trap us to death?But wouldn't it be easier to just sneak attack us and kill us?Why bother! Katsuo was also wondering, at this time I suddenly thought of something, and then said: "There are only two purposes for doing this, besides confusing our sight and trapping us, the other possibility is to use these marks to guide us to a certain place. place!" Katsuo nodded thoughtfully, obviously agreeing with my guess, but I still had some concerns, and added: "Where will the other party guide us to? Is it another trap?" As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Nan said without hesitation: "No, since he did this, there should be absolutely no trap!" After listening to it, I immediately asked, how can you be so sure?Katsuo smiled at me confidently and replied: "This is intuition, the intuition unique to women!" I smiled wryly, and said to myself, don't be too superstitious about women's intuition, if your intuition is not accurate, we will reimburse you, it's better to be rational. Katsuo then added: "It's not difficult to imagine that we are full of flaws everywhere now, and we don't have the strength to fight against the opponent at all. It's too easy to settle us, and there is no need to be so troublesome." This is not difficult to understand, and it does have some truth. We were a little relieved, and at the same time, we also made up our minds and walked in the direction marked by the other party. Following the direction marked, I felt that we were getting farther and farther away from the previous entrance, gradually deepening into the depths of the ruins, as if we were entering a certain core part, and this feeling was even more uncomfortable than walking into a minefield. I feel like we are heading towards hell right now. We groped deeply for 20 minutes. At this time, the mark ahead suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that we were going to die again.I thought it wouldn't be because we walked too fast, and the markers couldn't keep up with our rhythm, right? While we looked around, we groped and continued to move forward. I was about to speak when I suddenly felt my feet slipping, my whole body sank suddenly, and I fell straight forward. Before I had time to be afraid, my whole body slid down uncontrollably as if falling into an ice track.I stretched out my hands and grabbed around, but couldn't grab anything, so I subconsciously stretched out my hands to protect my head, and then I felt my whole body shake violently, and I hit a hard object heavily.Immediately afterwards, there was another blow, a soft body hit me, and then there was a burst of rapid panting. I recognized that it was Katsuo's voice, and only then did I know that she stumbled and fell like me.The previous experience was called upside down. I felt that I was almost thrown out by the trebuchet, and then hit the rock hard. The bones in my whole body were almost scattered, and the pain was unbearable. No. My teeth were knocked out, and the blood flowed back into the trachea, choking me so much that I couldn't stop coughing, and while groping around, I said to Sheng Nan: "How are you?" "I'm fine, I didn't expect to be so careless!" Listening to her tone, I concluded that her situation was much better than mine, and I had to thank that I happened to act as a backing board for her, and helped her block the heaviest blow. Katsuo asked: "Are you okay, are our cold fireworks still there?" I stretched out my hands numbly and touched it. The backpack on my back was still there, and there were only two cold fireworks left. It felt that they had not been damaged and should be usable.Of course I understand what Katsuo means. She definitely thinks that the place she is in is not safe and wants to see the surrounding environment. Judging from the echoes generated, I feel that the place we are in is very empty and very large. It seems that there is a huge hole suddenly in the originally compact mountain. I took out a cold smoke, struggled to get up, and opened it impatiently. The light quickly rose and spread to the surroundings.Next, the scene in front of me made me unable to believe my eyes.
