"Zhou Lan, there must be something wrong with these stone figurines, we have to be careful," Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, can these stone figurines move on their own? We found these phalanxes not far from the entrance just now, but now they appear here. It's too scary." Xiangyu said.
"It's hard to say yet. It's possible that this square formation is different from the one we saw for the first time," Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, it's the same," Zhou Lan said, but his eyes were straight and scanning the very closely arranged square array of stone figurines directly in front of us.
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the square array of stone figurines.
Seeing this, I also walked over.
The stone figurines in the square array in front of you are slightly different from those standing beside the cave.
Judging from their attire and appearance, the stone figurines on the side of the cave should look like servants.
But those in the square formation are different. Although they are not wearing armor, it can still be seen that the profession of these stone figurines should be soldiers.
After Zhou Lan walked inside the square for a while, he stopped in front of a stone figurine and groped carefully behind it.
"Brother, did you find anything?" I happened to be somewhere away from his two stone figurines, so I also walked up.
However, Zhou Lan didn't seem to hear my words, but said to Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, look at the backs of these stone figurines, there are small places protruding. I think there may be something wrong with these places."
Zhou Lan said, probably for the convenience of observation, he simply squatted down.
I happened to walk next to him, so I turned on the hernia lamp to illuminate him.
Taking a closer look, I discovered that these stone figurines, which looked like they were wearing corsets from a distance, were actually carved with a strange kind of armor.
That kind of armor looks a bit similar to the skin disease I have.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but touch my tailbone, because all the stone figurines in the square array have tailbones that protrude outward.
Fortunately, the size and position of my tailbone are the same as those of ordinary people.
After confirming that I was different from these stone figurines, I quietly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
"This place may be a consecration, but I don't know what is waiting for us behind it if we press it with one hand. It may be another space in the cave, or it may be densely packed iron worms." Chen Mo also squatted on a statue.
Behind the stone figurines, the brows were furrowed into a "Chuan" shape.
"But if we don't try, we will never know what is waiting for us behind these stone figurines." Zhou Lan said with a smile, with a teasing tone in his tone.
Chen Mo didn't speak, but looked at Xiang Yu and me, with a look in his eyes that wanted to ask for our opinions.
"I don't have any problem. After all, this is not the first time I have fought against iron worms." I replied with a smile.
"It's no problem for me. Moreover, I have a bone flute in my hand. If there are really iron worms in this stone figurine, I can also summon the angel long-tailed silkworm chrysalis." Xiangyu said, in his own voice
From his backpack, he took out a long bone flute.
When I saw this bone flute, my eyes lit up, because this flute was similar to the bone flute that Lao Miao Zhu was holding in his hand when I met him outside the kitchen that night at the Poyang Lake Laoye Temple.
, are exactly the same.
They are all descendants of the Yufu tribe. Will every Yufu tribe tame a creature, and this creature is the weapon for the Yufu tribe to fight against the outside world?
At this time, I couldn't help but think of the mysterious woman and my grandma in the sanatorium at the foot of Sangpu Mountain. They each raised a rare and powerful creature. Does this indirectly explain that in the sanatorium at the foot of Sangpu Mountain?
That mysterious woman is also a descendant of the Xu family?
"Since everyone has unanimously agreed, I will push down the protruding stone on the back of the stone figurine." Zhou Lan said, scanning the crowd.
We all nodded heavily, as if we were fully prepared for battle.
However, Zhou Lan did not act. He pondered for a while, and then said to Chen Mo: "Chen Mo, take Xiao Cang and Xiang Yu out of the square first. If this small stone is pressed down, it will really
If the iron worms are released, you will have time and space to escape."
"No, brother, I will fight with you, Chen Mo, you take Xiangyu and exit." I almost blurted out before Zhou Lan could finish what he said.
"Zhou Lan, we are all on the same team and we should advance and retreat together. We won't do this. Time is limited, so let's act." Xiang Yu also said after what I said.
"They won't agree," Chen Mo said, and actually pressed down the protruding stone on the tail vertebra of the stone figurine next to him.
This operation of his made several of us stunned.
This is really a ruthless person who doesn't talk much.
However, to our surprise, after the stone was pressed down, no iron worms were released, and no entrance was opened. It felt like nothing happened.
Zhou Lan didn't seem to believe it, so he pressed down the small piece of stone behind the stone figurine in his hand, but the surrounding area was still quiet, and there was no change at all.
"This designer is really interesting. Did he actually design such a mechanism that has no function?"
Zhou Lan said, walking through the square array and pressing down all the small stones behind the stone figurines.
Just after he completed all the operations, Xiangyu suddenly screamed and pointed at a stone figurine in the square array, so nervous that he could not speak.
I looked in the direction of her finger, couldn't help but yelled in fright, and then took a few steps back.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?"
I covered my mouth and shook my head quickly. I really couldn't believe that what I saw before me was real. Suddenly, I felt like the world was spinning. My feet were as soft as stepping on cotton, and I couldn't stand at all.
"Xiao Cang,"
Before my eyes completely turned black, I saw Zhou Lan rushing towards me from inside the square formation and held me up.
I was held in Zhou Lan's arms, and in my ears I could hear the voices of the three of them calling me eagerly.
In fact, I knew that I was not unconscious, but I just didn't want to open my eyes.
Because as soon as I open my eyes, I have to face those stone figurines that look exactly like me and even have the same skin diseases.
I don't want to make myself a monster.
Why is it so difficult to be an ordinary person? I am willing to endure the hard work of running around for daily necessities, and I don’t want to become a monster who has no worries about food and clothing.
"Xiao Cang, Xiao Cang, nothing happens to you. If anything happens to you, your mother will not survive," Zhou Lan's voice echoed very close to me.
The relationship between me and my mother is not actually close. At best, it can only be said to be the most ordinary mother-child relationship.
But, for some reason, my mother has been my weakness since I was very young.
This is something the whole family knows.
I was very naughty when I was a child, but as long as my family said my mother would be sad if I did this, I would immediately be obedient.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Lan mentioned his mother, I immediately opened my eyes.
"Zhou Cang, you finally woke up," Xiang Yu, who was beside him, almost cried with joy.
However, before we had time to say anything, we discovered that the square array had moved its position again and was gradually walking towards us.
Those dozens looked exactly like me now, like stone figurines sitting on pulleys, slowly sliding towards us.
I looked at the stone figurines getting closer and closer to us, and their faces became clearer and clearer in my sight, and I felt an unprecedented fear in my heart.
