Chen Mo, who had been standing there quietly like a sculpture, suddenly shouted like this, which really scared Zhou Lan and me to death.
"No, little brother, your sudden surprise will really scare people to death." Zhou Lan complained, "But, what do you know, I am still very curious."
"I know why these mummies can be preserved so well after thousands of years, and even the clothes on their bodies are not damaged at all." Chen Mo's face showed rare excitement.
"Chen Mo, what is going on?" When I heard him say this, I suppressed the fear in my chest and moved closer to the mummy so that I could listen to Chen Mo's explanation at close range.
"It's actually very simple. The mummy's body is covered with a thin layer of stone film." Chen Mo said.
"Stone film?" Zhou Lan and I repeated this word in unison.
"Actually, stone film is a word I coined myself to express my understanding of the layer covering the mummy." Chen Mo said, his eyes shifted from our faces to the mummy's body, and he pondered for a while.
He continued: "This layer of stone film forms a protective state similar to a vacuum on the corpse, so the mummy can stand for thousands of years without falling."
"But, Chen Mo, I have another question here. From the facial condition of this mummy, it doesn't seem like someone poured that layer of stone film on it after death. Instead, it seems like it was because it was poured on.
There was a layer of stone film, so he died in an instant." My eyes were like Chen Mo's, staring at the mummy in front of me that seemed to be grinning at us.
"It doesn't seem like it, it should be said that it is." Zhou Lan also joined us in this topic, "If it is said that this mummy is covered with a thin layer of stone film, it can still maintain its original shape after thousands of years.
If so, then his death must be due to this layer of stone film, and it was poured on it unknowingly."
"Zhou Lan is right. Not only the mummies, but also these stalls and other things hidden in the darkness that we haven't discovered yet are probably covered with a layer of stone film. Only then
It makes these stone sculptures here so lifelike," Chen Mo added.
"Yes, why was this small town covered with stone? And what kind of powerful force could kill the entire town at the same time," I wondered.
said.
"Except for the Sirians, I can't think of another bastard with such power." Zhou Lan said through gritted teeth.
"This is not necessarily true. Don't jump to conclusions before you find out the truth of all the facts." After hearing Zhou Lan's words, Chen Mo immediately retorted.
"That's true. Anyway, my observation ability in this life will definitely not be better than yours, so I'll just listen to you." Zhou Lan said, and smiled flatteringly, which made me feel a little embarrassed on the sidelines.
"Let's go," Chen Mo ignored Zhou Lan, turned around and looked at me and said.
I really don’t know why such a calm father and mother could give birth to such an active child like Zhou Lan. I shook my head helplessly, and then followed Chen Mo forward.
"Hey, you two wait for me." Zhou Lan shouted, chasing after me from behind.
The stalls on this small street are basically the same as the first stall we saw. Basically, there are one to two, or even several mummies behind each stall, and the conditions of all mummies are similar.
, all have ferocious faces, and the entire body is extremely well preserved.
"Xiao Cang, Chen Mo," Zhou Lan suddenly called us.
Chen Mo and I stopped at the same time and looked at Zhou Lan, wondering what trick he was trying to play.
"Those mummies seem to be moving." He lowered his voice and said, his eyes drifting to the side stall from time to time as he spoke.
I was just about to tell Zhou Lan to stop trying to scare people, but Chen Mo suddenly grabbed my wrist and shook his head at me.
I have already felt this situation. What Zhou Lan just said was probably not a scare, it might be true.
My hearts came together instantly.
If the mummies we just saw could move freely, then the three of us would be like turtles in a jar.
I had just escaped from the mouth of a tan snake and fell into a group of mummies. It was really a bad time for me.
"Why are you still standing there, fuck this guy quickly." Zhou Lan shouted at me. At this time, I realized that there was a mummy approaching me faintly on the stall in front of me.
Wow, it’s still a female corpse.
I need to copy someone. What kind of person should I copy? It seems that except for the bone flute, I have nothing to defend myself.
We who were born in New China and grew up under the red flag, before entering Shennongjia, we did not expect that there were so many mummies hidden in the mountains that could move freely, so a piece of black donkey hoof or a piece of talisman paper could not
Nothing was brought in.
Seeing that the neatly dressed female corpse had come to me, in desperation, I had no choice but to pick up the bone flute in my hand, and then hit the female corpse hard on the head.
It felt like the female corpse probably didn't expect that I would suddenly come like this, so she seemed a little confused after being hit so hard by me. She stood there shaking her head for a while, and then she seemed to go crazy and a bunch of people moved towards me.
The body jumped over.
My skills are far less agile than Chen Mo and Zhou Lan. In addition, after the hand was dislocated, it seems that it is not as sharp when it moves now, so I was instantly thrown to the ground by the female mummy.
The female mummy pressed me down, and there was a gurgling sound in her throat, as if there was a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in it, making me want to dig it out for her.
I struggled hard, trying to turn over and push the female mummy away, but I don't know whether it was because of the stone film poured over it, but the female corpse that was pressing on me was particularly heavy.
I tried all my strength and could barely move it.
Oh my God, if I keep being pressed down like this, I will either suffocate to death or my chest will be crushed.
Where are Chen Mo and Zhou Lan?
I raised my head as hard as I could, trying to see if anyone from Zhou Lan or Chen Mo was around me, hoping they would help me.
However, the current situation of both of them is still in a state where they cannot protect themselves.
Zhou Lan was surrounded by more than three mummies, but he was still quite agile, so he was not at a disadvantage yet.
Chen Mo was a little far away from me, and the hernia lamps in our hands had already fallen to the ground, so I didn't see clearly how many mummies were around him, but I just felt that he didn't take advantage.
What should I do? If I don't move the mummy, I won't be able to hold on for long.
With this thought in my mind, I already felt like I was a bit hypoxic, and I couldn't help but want to open my mouth and take a deep breath.
If I can't find outside help, I have to rely on myself.
In fact, looking back, from participating in the search for the astrolabe, every time I encountered danger, it seemed that I had to rely on myself to get out of it.
Thinking of this, I took a few deep breaths and calmed myself down as quickly as possible, because only in silence can I observe the details.
Success or failure often lies in the details.
After letting myself calm down, my hands began to explore the mummy's body.
I have seen it before in TV dramas or in the ancient martial arts books collected by my grandfather. Everything that is extremely strong must have a weak spot.
Therefore, if we find such a weak spot, can we kill the mummy with one blow?
But I was pressed under me by the mummy, so the range that my hands could freely explore was very limited. So after groping for a while, I didn't seem to find any weak spots.
Suddenly I saw the mummy's throat moving slightly when it made a "gurgling" sound.
Could it be that this is where the weakness lies?
However, I can't reach this place with my hands, so even if it's a weak spot, I don't have the conditions to attack.
At this time, I already felt as if I was about to die. My chest was so tight that I was slowly losing consciousness due to lack of oxygen in my body.
I have to find a way as soon as possible.
In desperation, I tilted my head back, raised my chin, and used the cartilage on my chin to slam into the throat bone of the mummy's throat that was moving up and down.
