In the afternoon, the excavation speed of the archaeological team members accelerated a lot, and a large number of petrified statues were excavated. The number was shocking.
Those teachers felt chills when they saw the densely packed gray-white stone statues on the ground, and felt discouraged.
The royal tutor led his people to set up a larger magic circle on a large piece of land, preparing to use it to de-petrify these petrified statues in batches, thinking that maybe there were still people alive.
Bing Zhixie squatted on a petrified statue, thinking in her mind: "What is it that has such a strong ability to petrify so many people? There are also many powerful guys among the petrified monsters. Is it these trees? But
We have lived under the tree for so long and nothing has happened. Or is it those things underground? The underground space seen through the black stone cannot have anything to do with the Tomb of the Hero King. Everything arranged here is obviously related to this tomb, so petrification
Could it be a mechanism to protect this tomb? But if that's the case... why? It doesn't make sense."
"Hey Neo, what are you thinking about? Come over and help."
"Oh." Bing Zhixie ran over quickly.
The soldier held up a petrified statue and said, "Help me carry it up together, be careful."
Bing Zhixie hugged the stone statue's shoulders and was immediately stunned when he saw the appearance of the stone statue. This stone statue was none other than Firebird, the leader of the Iron Curtain Team!
The soldier urged from below: "What are you doing standing still? Lift it quickly."
Bing Zhixie and he carried the stone statue up, and after a closer look, there was no doubt that it was the Firebird. Bingzhixie couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "The Firebirds and the others were separated from me for only a few hours that night, how come they were buried in the same place all of a sudden?
Twenty meters deep in the mud?" Looking at Firebird's expression, he frowned and his eyes showed surprise. For him to show such an expression, he must have suffered a very sudden change at that time.
"What is it? What can make him so surprised?" Bing Zhixie thought to himself: "In terms of strength, Firebird's strength is not much worse than mine, if not stronger. I have heard it a lot in the tavern in the past two years.
Rumors about him say that he has become a lot stronger. Besides, each of the five members of our Iron Curtain team is not a weak player. How come their captain was suddenly petrified?"
The remaining four members of the Iron Curtain Team were indeed found in the stone statues that were unearthed next, and then they saw Lane, Bard and the others from 'God's Will'.
Bing Zhixie shed a cold sweat. The two teams of S-class mercenaries were actually completely wiped out! And although their faces and expressions were slightly different, they were all in horror. Not only that, not just them, most of the petrified statues
They were all in this kind of panic, and some had expressions that they couldn't even imagine a human being could show.
Fortunately, none of their petrified statues were damaged, but Leslie's stone statue was not found among them.
Bingzhixie was secretly worried. Galvas was too trusting, and the danger here was definitely beyond his imagination. Bingzhixie wanted to persuade them to leave, but he didn't know how to say it. His current identity should be revealed.
I'm afraid they won't believe it. Of course, this idea of persuading them is just a fleeting thought, and if they leave, the excavation of this tomb will have to stop. Bing Zhixie also wants to know what is in the tomb of the Hero King? Maybe
The hero king Sag also got a piece of Dragon Zero and hid it in his tomb.
The speed of excavation exceeded everyone's imagination. The previous pit was dug to more than 30 meters, and the scope was expanded a lot. Hundreds of petrified statues were dug out, most of which were human petrified figures.
For example, there are much less than those of Warcraft. And the deeper you dig down, the more tree roots you find. Many petrified statues are wrapped in tree roots, and some have been twisted off by tree roots.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the pit was dug several meters deeper, but fewer and fewer stone statues were dug out, and more tree roots were dug out.
"We've dug to the end." Teacher Bei Ji looked up from the pit. There was no soil visible further down, and there was almost a wall of tree roots under her feet.
A certain soldier dug up the tree roots underground, panted and shook his head: "There are no stone statues down there. If we want to dig further, we can only dig horizontally, but it's time to take a rest."
This afternoon they alternated between resting and digging. They were very tired. Even Bing Zhixie felt that it was too much. They hadn't done such important physical work for a long time.
The person above shouted: "Everyone, let's rest."
People in the pit climbed up one after another. The royal tutor said: "This is just a place. There should be many stone statues under other loose soil. In the past few days, we have dug out all the stone statues in the ground. Whether they are dead or alive, we
They have to be dug out so that they can rest in peace."
Bing Zhixie was also in the pit. He was about to climb up the excavated slope when he suddenly saw something in the roots of the tree at his feet. He pulled the roots, but they couldn't be moved, so he used a shovel to remove the surrounding soil.
All the roots and roots of the tree were dug out, and gradually a round and pointed thing was exposed.
Bing Zhixie touched it with his hand. This thing was made of stone, with the coolness of the stone, and was coated with a layer of dark gold paint. At first, he thought it was some antique cultural relic, but then he dug up the surrounding tree roots.
He made some discoveries and found out that this thing was bigger than he thought.
At this time, people nearby also noticed this thing and shouted to the people around them: "There is something new, dig up here and take a look."
Many people came to dig out the roots of the tree. As they dug deeper and deeper, something entangled in the roots was gradually exposed. This thing was round and pointed, about three meters long, and looked like a big
Garlic shape.
When Bing Zhixie saw this 'garlic', his heart suddenly moved: "Isn't this a form of some building spires?" His first instinct was to dig the tomb of the Hero King.
There were many people who had the same idea as him. Immediately, the people in the pit shouted loudly, saying that they had dug a grave.
People who had climbed to the ground ran back one after another. When Galvas heard that the king's tomb had been dug, he hurried over with his people. When he saw the steeple, he looked at the teachers around him.
The teachers looked at the dark golden spire carefully and said: "This is part of the building. It should be the spire on the building. It seems that we are standing on top of the Tomb of the Hero King!"
Galvas suddenly became excited. He opened his eyes angrily and his eyes were filled with excitement. He shouted to the people around him: "Call everyone here and dig down here!"
The soldier next to him said: "General, didn't you say you should rest? We have been digging for a long time and are very tired..."
Galvas grabbed his armor and said: "I asked you to call people to dig, don't forget the original intention of our coming here!"
The soldiers had no choice but to call everyone to start digging. Compared with soil, these tough tree roots were more difficult to dig. Some of those fat tree roots were thicker than buckets. Sometimes, it would take several shovels to dig.
However, despite this, under the supervision of Galvas, the strong tree root wall was dug out. As expected, the golden spire was indeed part of the building, and more parts were covered by the tree roots.
The teacher looked at the scene in front of him and said: "No wonder we couldn't find the specific location of the Tomb of the Hero King before. It turns out that it was completely covered by tree roots!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a mausoleum. It's so amazing. It's hard to imagine that the hero king Sage would place his own mausoleum like this."
"It seems that the trees above are indeed specially arranged. They are arranged in a square shape to use their roots to wrap the king's tomb."
Everyone was so happy that they seemed to have forgotten about the petrification.
The soldiers dug until evening to eat, and they were already starving.
"Wow, tonight's dinner is very good, much better than the past few days." A student couldn't wait to eat.
Galvas next to him smiled and said: "I know everyone is exhausted today, so I asked the cooking soldiers to give everyone extra meals. Everyone must be full. The food supplies we brought are still sufficient, so just feel free to eat
Okay, hahaha."
Harry smiled and said: "General, it seems you are very happy to have dug a grave."
"Are you unhappy?" Galvas asked back, "Who among you is unhappy? The purpose of our coming here is to excavate the tomb of the Hero King. We thought it would take a few days to dig out the tomb of the King of Heroes, but we didn't expect to find it today.
.”
Harry said: "Yes, thanks to these stone men, we have speeded up the progress of the excavation."
Galvas said: "Don't be too sad. These people have nothing to do with us. If we can rescue them, we will rescue them. If we can't rescue them, it has nothing to do with us."
Harry smiled and said: "I don't know any of these petrified people, why should I be sad?"
At this time, the royal tutor came back with his people.
Beiji asked: "Teacher, has the magic circle been set up?"
The royal tutor shook his head: "There is still the last part that has not been completed. It will take some time to set up such a large magic array. After a while, the array will be set up, and people will be asked to carry the petrified statues in, giving priority to those that are more complete.
.I think if we hurry up, we can rescue a group of people in four or five hours."
Galvas said: "Stop talking about this, mentor, let's eat quickly. Everyone is tired today, so must you." He handed over a plate with food.
"Thanks."
After the meal, Bing Zhixie was still responsible for clearing and washing the tableware. He was about to walk away with the stacks of plates and cutlery when he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" People around heard the sound and ran over, but halfway there, two more people fell to the ground.
The Royal Tutor felt something was wrong, stood up and shouted: "Everyone, be careful, it may be..." He wanted to say that it might be dangerous, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy in his mind, and his eyes immediately became blurry, and then
He saw General Galvas sitting opposite fall down, he staggered a few times and fell to the ground with him.
This change came so suddenly that all the people in the camp fell down...
