Bing Zhixie's injuries healed quickly. Those injuries from the beating were nothing compared to the injuries he had suffered before. However, Ruola was still very uncomfortable, and the discomfort became more and more serious, so that next time
She basically didn't participate in the archaeological work and kept lying in the tent to rest.
The work of the archaeological team is progressing very slowly. No major discoveries have been made in the past two days. Moreover, for those who are exploring the ancient tomb, they have not been able to detect the specific size and location of the ancient tomb. They can only rely on previous digs.
Dig down the loose soil and continue to expand the excavation area.
There was no danger in the past two nights. Except for the weird laughter that was still there, everything else was normal. Some people were wondering if there was really any danger in the valley on Beiwangpo as mentioned outside. Of course the soldiers
They did not relax their vigilance, and the soldiers on duty at night still worked responsibly.
However, Harry and the others did not cause any trouble for Bing Zhixie in the past two days, and Bing Zhixie seemed to have forgotten what happened that day. Speaking of which, Bing Zhixie is not a stingy person. There are always fights among young people.
He will hold a lifelong grudge for this, and maybe he is no longer angry. In the past two days, he has been busy helping out in the archaeological team, doing this and that, and he seems very attentive.
This lack of harvest lasted until the morning of the fifth day. On this day, the archaeological team had just gotten up to work. Before they even had breakfast, they heard someone shouting in the pit: "We have discovered something."
Some people who were cooking in the camp quickly ran over to take a look, shouting, "What did you dig up?"
Bing Zhixie also went over to take a look.
At this time, the pit had been dug very large and deep. Several soldiers were digging the soil below, and suddenly they found something hard. When they dug up the surrounding tree roots and soil, they found that it was a stone statue.
"This stone statue is very big. It seems to be a stone carving of a monster." A teacher said: "A few people will go down to help, dig it out and see what kind of stone carving it is."
Several soldiers and the teacher jumped down to the bottom of the pit, which was deeper than a five-story building. They worked with the people below and spent more than half an hour digging out the stone statue.
This stone sculpture is not complete, just a part of it, but it is also more than ten meters in size.
"It looks like a stone sculpture of a lion-faced beast."
Because the head and other parts of the body are missing, it is impossible to intuitively tell what kind of stone sculpture it is. However, the arms and legs of the lion-faced beast are very long, and the joints are always bent and rarely fully extended. This is
The stone carving shows it very clearly, so people can tell at a glance that it is a lion-faced beast.
One person said excitedly: "I was worried that I dug in the wrong place before, but it seems we are getting close to the tomb."
Stone statues are often seen inside and outside large tombs.
After hearing this, everyone became so excited that they even forgot about the breakfast they were making. Galvas was even more excited, his eyes were shining, and he jumped down to help.
A few strong men lifted the statue to the ground. Bing Zhixie walked to the edge of the pit, leaned against the stone statue, looked down, looked at the stone statue again, and touched it casually, but this touch suddenly made him feel something was wrong.
"Huh? This..." He examined the stone statue carefully, and the expression on his face gradually changed from strange to serious.
He stepped back a few steps, looked up and saw that the fracture of the statue was on top, so he climbed down on the statue. When he looked at the fracture, he thought to himself: "This stone statue..."
"There is something wrong with this stone statue." The words were spoken in a low voice. They were not said by Bing Zhixie, but came from underneath the other side of the stone statue.
Bing Zhixie crawled over and took a look down, and saw the seal knight named Qiao in the team, taking off his gloves and gently stroking the stone statue, and said to himself: "Not at all.
The coolness that the stone should have, but the touch is not right... As expected, this is not a stone sculpture." He raised his head and discovered Bing Zhixie on it.
Bingzhi smiled evilly and asked him: "They said this is a stone statue of a lion-faced beast, do you think so?"
The seal knight just glanced at Bing Zhixie, turned around and walked away.
Bing Zhixie sat on the statue and watched him go away. Her hand touched the statue on her body again: "This is obviously not made of stone, but a living monster that has been petrified!"
The stone carving was indeed that of the lion-faced beast. It didn’t take long for the people below to dig out the other half of the stone statue, but it had broken into several pieces. In addition to the stone carving of the lion-faced beast, they also dug out a large number of other stone carvings.
, at first they were just statues of Warcraft monsters, but later entire humanoid stone sculptures were unearthed. Some of these stone sculptures even had clothes and armor made of stone, while some were even wearing shiny metal armor.
The fire seal emblem is very new, it was completely newly added recently.
At this time, the archaeological team also realized something was wrong.
"Are these guys all living... living people?"
One student's face turned pale with fright: "What's going on?"
The royal tutor touched the stone sculptures and said: "These statues are not stone sculptures, they are living people who have been petrified!"
Everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Jane! Isn't this Jane? Instructor, come quickly, do you think this person is not Jane?"
Jane was the last archaeological team leader sent by the Aipula Provincial Government. At this time, she was half buried in the soil like a stone sculpture, with an extremely frightened expression on her face.
"Quick, dig her out quickly."
Several people rushed to work and quickly dug her out of the soil.
The person who discovered Jane asked: "Mentor, is she...is she still alive?"
Jane has a broken arm, but the rest of her body is intact.
Faced with his question, the royal tutor was silent for a while and then said: "God will keep her safe and sound. Use magic to rescue her quickly."
The two carefully laid Jane flat on the ground, and several magicians cast spells to remove her petrification.
Petrification is removed very slowly. Even if several people cast spells at the same time, there will be no movement for a long time. This is related to the length and depth of being petrified. The longer the time, the deeper the petrification, and the more difficult it is to remove it. As for whether you can survive after being petrified, in addition to the above
The reason depends on the ability of the petrified person.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The magic has been cast for several minutes, but Jane's petrified state still has not improved, and everyone's heart sank. But the others were not idle.
While they were worried, they continued to dig in the pit. The royal mentor and others kept reminding the diggers to be careful and not to damage the stone statues.
The spell casting lasted for almost an hour, and Jane's appearance finally lost some of its petrified color. However, several magicians who cast the spell gave up. It was obvious that Jane was dead, and it was impossible to be alive after being petrified for so long.
Seeing Jian's half-petrified body, everyone felt heavy in their hearts, and a layer of gloom enveloped them.
After lunch, there were fewer people talking in the camp. The original happiness and excitement disappeared with this discovery. It turns out that everyone’s disappearance was petrified by unknown circumstances, but I don’t know why they were buried in the
More than ten meters deep underground.
Finally, someone spoke up and addressed everyone: "I propose to report the current situation first and wait for more people to come and figure out the dangers here before continuing the excavation work. What do you think?"
In fact, everyone is thinking about this issue. Obviously the current situation is no longer suitable for archaeological excavation. If we continue, everyone will be in danger.
Galvas looked at everyone, and then said to the person who made the suggestion: "I don't agree."
"Why?" said the proposer, "Can't you see that there is danger now?"
Galvas said: "Didn't everyone already know that there is danger here before coming here? There is always danger, but it depends on how big it is. I don't think the danger now is enough for us to deal with it. I even can't even deal with it now."
You didn't even see the source of the danger, so you just went back in despair?"
"So many people have been petrified, which shows how dangerous it is here."
Galvas hummed softly: "Are those people magicians? Are they seal knights? Are they violent warriors?"
The proposer said: "General, if you are used to fighting, of course you are not afraid of anything. But not everyone here has the strength like you."
"That's why we are responsible for your safety." Galvas said: "We can't go back without even understanding what the danger is. How will others see me? I can't explain it to the superiors. Besides, there are still things buried underground.
There are so many people. Now that we have discovered them, we shouldn't leave them alone. There might be people alive here, right?"
The person who made the suggestion couldn't convince him, so he had to say: "Teacher, what do you think?"
The royal tutor said: "You are right to worry about everyone's safety, but what General Galvas said is also reasonable. We can't just go back without knowing everything, not to mention there are so many people underground. The general and Qiao are responsible for our safety.
Now General Galvas we can handle the danger now. Joe, what do you think?"
Qiao held her chest and thought for a while, then said, "I think there is no problem with safety."
The Royal Tutor nodded and said: "Well, since the two people responsible for our safety think there is no problem, then we will continue to stay here. However, the focus of our work needs to change. The next work will mainly focus on rescuing the underground
As for the archaeological excavation, we can leave it to the future."
Galvas said: "I think we can proceed in both directions. Maybe the soldiers and I will resolve the danger in the process."
The person who made the suggestion thought for a while and said: "I think we should at least send the students out. They are not strong enough and it is too dangerous to stay here. Besides, Ruola has been ill for several days and has not recovered. We should send them out as soon as possible."
Send her to the hospital for a good check-up."
"General, what do you think?" the royal tutor asked.
Galvas shook his head and said: "This won't work. We don't have many soldiers accompanying us. Everyone knows how dangerous it is in the dense forest. If we encounter a group of death plague rats, it will be even more dangerous. Why escort them out?
A lot of manpower has been allocated so that the camp will not have enough manpower. Now the camp is in danger. Although I am confident that I can handle it, I have to leave all the manpower to ensure everyone's safety. As for Miss Ruola's illness
, I think she just vomited and didn't get worse, so there shouldn't be any big problem. Didn't the team doctor say that everything in her body is normal?"
The proposer said: "General, we still need to ask the students for their opinions."
The royal tutor looked at the students and asked, "Do you feel scared and want to leave?"
Harry said: "No, we are not afraid at all. As the general said, with him protecting us, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, we have been on Beiwangpo for several days and have not encountered any danger. There is no need to encounter any danger if we do.
Too worried about us. We are no longer children, in fact we are all adults, and our age no longer needs to be taken care of. As teachers often teach, only through experience can we grow faster."
The royal tutor smiled: "That's right."
The other two students also echoed.
Seeing that the students were unwilling to leave, the proposer had no choice but to give up.
Harry said: "I'm just worried that some little boys may be in danger."
Some people looked at Bing Zhixie, but since the students wouldn't leave, they couldn't bother to send him away.
