Chapter 25 Statue of Gods

 "It is indeed a treasure."

Fang Nuo carefully observed the cylindrical statue in front of the table that was only as long as his forearm.

The statue is made of unknown material. Its main body is a totem pole embossed with various animals, with a black base and red outline. A snake god with golden lines on its face hovers above it, like a snake clinging to an ancient tree.

The twisted vines spread out ten branches at the top. Each snake has a single eye, and the ten eyes focus on one place.

——The top of the totem pole is a little higher.

Looking at the depression at the top of the totem pole, Fang Nuo frowned slightly.

"There is still a part of the statue missing. What should have been placed here... Judging from the depression, it seems to be a bead?"

This is the treasure presented by Zhao Ming. It is said to be a family heirloom, and he wants to use it to plead with Fang Nuo to help find his younger brother Zhao Li.

Family heirlooms are probably nonsense. Who would carry this thing in the apocalypse? It's not like Fang Nuo doesn't know Zhao Ming and Zhao Li's life experience. He has already investigated the relevant information.

Fang Nuo was not interested in what he said, but promised that he would help him find his brother. Even if he died, he would find his body and slipped a bottle of potion over.

Although Zhao Ming's face is a little ugly, he should be very touched when he thinks about it.

After sending away Zhao Ming, and then sending away the black-armored Zhao Li who had been standing beside him, who was about to explode but couldn't move and could only pose, Fang Nuo focused on the statue.

He felt a little familiar, as if he had seen something of this style somewhere.

After retrieving the memory, I discovered that this is not an ancient relic in a museum in Chengnan District?

Because it's not far from home, Fang Nuo sometimes goes there for a walk when he's on vacation.

The so-called ancient relics are actually ancient cultural relics that are relatively old and cannot be identified in the specific period. This ten-headed snake statue is called [Anasai] and comes from a tribal ruins discovered during a subway dig.

The specific existence time of this tribe is unknown. The earliest time was 10,000 years ago. The ruins contain many exquisite handicrafts. People once exclaimed that human civilization definitely lasts more than 10,000 years, and there are many more undiscovered prehistoric civilizations.

A period of archaeological craze.

But as time passed, the popularity gradually subsided, and few outsiders paid attention to it. Subsequently, a museum was directly built to attract tourists with the gimmick of a mysterious civilization.

This statue of Anasi is considered the most precious cultural relic in the site. According to research, his image also has traces of existence in the sites of other prehistoric civilizations. Legend has it that he was a god who existed before the world was born and was the pillar between heaven and earth.

, guarding the most precious orb in the world.

Although it looks a bit ferocious and terrifying, it symbolizes perfection, wisdom and patronage.

"The ten-headed snake god Anasi who protects the orb?"

In my memory, this orb still exists in the museum.

Did Zhao Ming hide it secretly? Although he thought it was unlikely, Fang Nuo still arranged for several black-robed messengers to monitor Zhao Ming.

"The greater possibility is that it was damaged or fell off in the last days."

However, in addition to its mysterious origin, this statue has other uses. Otherwise, in the apocalypse, no one would care whether it is a cultural relic or an antique.

Fang Nuo gently rubbed the first snake head on the left, and the snake's eyes lit up. Without using witchcraft or mental power, his sight penetrated the wall and saw the shadow guard guarding the door outside. When he turned his head, he saw again

Zhao Li suppressed his cry in the next room.

"This trash, for the sake of the statue, I will tolerate you for another two weeks."

Ten minutes later, the penetrating sight disappeared and returned to normal.

Looking at the ten snake heads, Fang Nuo fell into deep thought. Legend has it that Anasi has ten heads, and each head has different abilities.

He tried several more times and found that only the first head had the ability, and the others had no response, and it could only activate the piercing sight three times a day.

What surprised him was that the penetrating sight could not only penetrate walls, but also penetrate illusions.

"Useful, but not very useful."

Fang Nuo guessed that perhaps more functions of the statue could be unlocked by retrieving the orb.

After putting the statue away properly, Fang Nuo was more interested in the reason why this item appeared.

Before the end of the world, I had never heard of the existence of such an item. Why did the ability suddenly appear after the end of the world?

"Is it because of the tide?"

Fang Nuo fell into deep thought. In the early days of the end of the world, these items were still absorbing energy, waiting for recovery. It was only now that the energy concentration had reached a threshold that these extraordinary items were activated.

He temporarily named this type of items [extraordinary relics] and invited Zhang Yuhua to ask him to pay attention to these ancient and genuine cultural relics and antiques when searching.

Zhang Yuhua's injury has almost recovered, but at this time, he looks troubled.

"What, what's the problem?"

"Tower Master, there are only two museums in Qishan City, one is in DC District and one is in Nancheng District. Nancheng District has been occupied by level 4 zombies. DC District is too far away from us. During this time, zombies have become active again, searching for supplies.

More difficult than before..."

"This is something you should find a way to solve." Fang Nuo interrupted him calmly.

"...Yes, I understand, Tower Master." Zhang Yuhua finally bowed his head helplessly.

"I will send someone to go with you."

Zhang Yuhua said in surprise: "Thank you, Tower Master!"

Fang Nuo waved for him to leave. Although he didn't care about the camp, he cared about his own affairs. Zhang Yuhua was not capable enough. If he couldn't complete the task, he would not be rewarded, but he would lose real resources!

Facing Gong Xiaoqin's request for help, Fang Nuo could remain indifferent, but he had to help Zhang Yuhua because of his incompetence. The fundamental reason was that the needs were different.

The camp is just a dispensable material base, but the search team is his subordinates, so the treatment of the two is naturally different.

......

Zhang Yuhua returned home, packed up the equipment, and began to assemble the team members. This time, there were two more people at the gathering point.

One is Li Qun, who is full of reluctance. His face is ugly and he is mumbling.

The other is a silent man in black armor, standing straight to the side, seemingly indifferent.

"What is the tower master thinking? How can the camp be without my protection?"

Zhang Yuhua understood that this was the man sent by the tower master. Li Qun has strong attack power and is suitable for attacking difficulties. Although the other one is unknown, he looks quite cold and tough. He should be a tough guy with outstanding strength.

"Brother, what's your name?" Li Qun dishonestly hugged the black-armored man's neck and began to get close.

"...Shadow Guard One."

"Huh, personal guards!" Li Qun exclaimed and started asking questions again, but the man in black armor just didn't answer.

Zhang Yuhua couldn't stand it, stopped Li Qun's nonsense, and began to explain to the two the key points that need to be paid attention to during the search and the new needs of the tower owner.

In order to avoid level four zombies, their target this time was the Chengdong District Museum. They were not familiar with this place. They had explored safe routes for the first few times and built several safe houses and supply points along the way to facilitate subsequent searches.<
