Chapter 95 A hand on the shoulder
Chapter 95: A hand was placed on the shoulder
When the two ropes were pulled up, the two warriors had already died. Everyone arranged the two dead warriors in a row, and then stood there and could not speak. The life that was still alive just now gradually lost its body temperature and turned into a cold corpse.
Judging from the vagueness of flesh and blood, it should have been attacked by wild beasts, with signs of being bitten by the chest, abdomen, and limbs. Even a warrior's neck was bitten off, and his head was drooping and about to fall off at any time.
Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened just a few days after the construction of the new city was started. If it spread, it might affect morale. Especially ordinary people, they have the worst ability to bear it, and Chen Meng did not want to cause panic.
"For survival, bleeding and sacrifice are inevitable, but even if you die, your name will be passed down in the history of Chang'an City forever."
"Xiaoxi, you understand Feng Shui and geomantic techniques. My opinion is to find a place with excellent Feng Shui around Chang'an City and bury the warriors who lost their lives during the construction of Chang'an City. During the Qingming Festival, everyone can go to worship and mourn the souls."
Chen Meng's two words and two meanings seemed to have magical infectious power, which quickly made the warriors present feel a little better. And Chen Meng's next words moved the warriors present even more.
"I'll go down and see what demons are causing trouble." Chen Meng looked very fearless and looked at death. However, Chen Meng did not feel hot in order to win over people's hearts. He had his own plans in his mind: "Looking at the injuries of the dead warrior, he should have been attacked by a strange beast. I can cast the Golden Light King Sutra, ignore any attack for 30 seconds, and it's not very dangerous to go down."
"How can the lord take risks in person? Let me go!"
"My lord, don't think twice, you are the pillar of the entire Chang'an City."
As soon as Chen Meng finished speaking, the silent Imperial Guards immediately opposed it, especially some warriors who traveled through the feudal dynasty. They were educated since childhood to be loyal to the emperor. Since they chose to follow Chen Meng, they recognized Chen Meng as their lord. At this time, they were anxious to see Chen Meng taking risks with their own risk.
He stopped everyone and made arrangements for the next action. Chen Meng went down the first place, and then after Chen Meng's distance of ten meters, he went down to five higher-level archers. Chen Meng's idea was that he could ignore the attack by himself, land on the first step and explore the way, and find dangers enough to protect himself. As for the five archers behind, he could use long-range attacks in the air to support Chen Meng.
Archers are a relatively rare profession, but there are 500 people here, so the quota of five people is easy to gather. However, Chen Meng personally ordered Ning Xuan's general and let Ning Xuan join the action.
Ning Xuan is now at level 8 and can rank among all archers. But Chen Meng's consideration is that a girl serves as the deputy commander of a team of 5,000 people, and it is unlikely that she will be convinced without any contribution.
Nepotism can ensure high loyalty, but in order not to cause the rebound of the warriors below, Chen Meng planned to give Ning Xuan a small contribution to increase his prestige.
"There will definitely be no danger if it is ten meters above me." Chen Meng thought it very comprehensively.
People will change. The quiet middle school students who had traveled through time are now very heroic, at least they are much more courageous. After being named by Chen Meng, Ning Xuan nodded and agreed without fear or retreat.
Sun Tong was worried and wanted to follow Chen Meng, but Chen Meng rejected the request. Although Sun Tong is a profession like a shield warrior and has a strong defensiveness, he can't be stronger than Chen Meng who uses the Golden Light King's Classic. Moreover, there is no confidant like Sun Tong to take charge outside, so Chen Meng is not at ease.
It still made Jiang Sihuai lose his vitality from everyone, ignited seven soul lamps, and then prepared all the necessary items such as torches and other items, and the second round of investigation officially began.
Chen Meng tied a buckle around his waist with a rope, which could be easily unbuttoned. Then he notified Sun Tong through his personal channel and asked him to direct people to slowly put down the rope.
Chen Meng went down to about ten meters and informed the five archers to enter the passage and slowly fall. When he fell to about twenty meters, he saw something strange, like a dividing line, all of which were made of bluestone and above it was soil. What shocked Chen Meng was that these blue stones were spliced perfectly with each other, and there were almost no gaps. On the blue stones, there were dense patterns engraved, forming strange patterns, which should be a mural.
Chen Meng was shocked inexplicably. Everything found here subverted his previous cognition. He originally thought that there were no native people in the Xuanhuang world, but now he found that he was wrong, and all those who came through time were wrong.
"There are definitely traces left by artificiality. I think there are original people in the Xuanhuang world. It may have disappeared strangely for some reason." Chen Meng's thoughts changed sharply.
If there are indigenous people, then what race is this indigenous people? Human race, demon race, demon race, or other relatively rare races? Chen Meng doesn't understand.
Thinking of this, Chen Meng's curiosity was vigorous. He was eager to go down and find out the truth. The original inexplicable fear was gone, and he accelerated his speed and landed to the deepest point. About ten meters above, five archers followed Chen Meng's speed.
After landing at a position of 130 meters in one breath, Chen Meng slowed down because the depth of the pit was 150 meters, and it was about to reach the end and danger would occur at any time. So Chen Meng became cautious and took twelve minutes of caution.
Landed little by little, and when it landed at a 140-meter position, Chen Meng paused, took out a piece of spirit stone fragment from the space ring, and threw it down.
"Bang!" The spirit stone fragments fell to the ground, making a faint sound. After waiting for a while, there was no reaction below.
Chen Meng laughed at himself. Maybe he had read too many martial arts novels and learned this trick of "trowing stones and asking for directions", but is it really useful? If the creatures below have a high IQ, they will not be exposed just because of a fragment of spirit stone. Maybe they will deliberately hide. As long as they see people, they will reveal their sharp claws and people-eating teeth.
Without a response, then continue to land. Chen Meng could clearly feel that his heartbeat was slightly faster. Although he did not feel any fear, this bad situation could still bring oppression to people.
Finally, Chen Meng landed gently on the ground and took the torch in his hand forward, finding that the space here was very large, the brightness of the torch was limited, so he could not see anything at all.
Chen Meng thought for a while, untied the rope, notified the five archers on the team channel to temporarily stop at a height of ten meters above the ground, waiting for orders at any time, and then he held the torch alone and tiptoed forward.
This is a circular secret room with a diameter of about 100 meters. Except for the pits with a diameter of ten meters, the entire secret room is covered with bluestone, and the bluestone is full of dense patterns, which is very strange.
Since there is no color on the pattern, it seems to be a bit troublesome. Besides, Chen Meng is worried about a strange beast attacking, so he just looked at it roughly, but everything he saw still shocked Chen Meng. The creatures, demons, demons, and even dragons, birdmen with wings, and mountain ghosts with pointed ears and bows and arrows seem to be describing a huge battle. In addition, there are ancient words on the walls, but unfortunately I can't understand them at all.
There are thousands of races in the Xuanhuang world. Even if they are human races, they come from different star fields and planets, and their languages and words are different. What is more humane is that they can understand the words between different races, but what makes people speechless is that they cannot understand the words between different races.
Only by obtaining language skills books from each race can this problem be solved, but the difficulty of obtaining language skills books is not ordinary.
"The system is just a teenage girl who needs to do it." Chen Meng cursed in his heart. If he could understand the words on the wall, perhaps all the problems would be solved.
There are various language skills books in the treasure house of Emperor Tian, with nearly a million types, and a silver coin of Emperor Tian. Chen Meng was angry. He couldn't learn all the language skills books of millions in order to understand the words on the wall? Besides, I can't learn them...
There was no choice but to give up studying the text on the wall. Chen Meng walked around the secret room for a while, and no strange beast was discovered. He only found four passages to different directions around him. Then, in the middle of the secret room, there was a stairs hovering downward.
The four passages lead to the unknown, gloomy and terrifying. Chen Meng did not enter the investigation, and there might be a powerful beast in which passage, and he could come out to eat Chen Meng at any time. In the middle of the secret room, Chen Meng attached his ear to the ground and listened carefully, and there was a faint sound of water flowing.
Chen Meng was in trouble. He originally wanted to use the Golden Light King Sutra to investigate. If there was an alien beast attack, the invincible state would be enough to deal with it for thirty seconds. At worst, he could immediately pull the rope and pull himself back.
But now, I found a secret room, four passages, and a spiral downward staircase. There was not even a strange beast at all. Chen Meng didn't know what to do.
If you continue to explore, which path you should choose. And if you encounter a powerful or numerous strange beasts after going deep into the mystery, you will be far away from the hanging rope by then. It is hard to say whether you can escape with your life with a thirty-second invincible state.
"What should I do?" While curiosity drove Chen Meng to investigate, Chen Meng did not want to take risks, after all, he only had one life.
"Forget it, go up first, gather hundreds of people down together, and then investigate one by one, which is safer." Chen Meng finally made the decision.
Chen Meng held up the torch and walked towards the direction where the rope was hanging down, but suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind.
