At this time, I heard Pang Xiaotai's roar in my ears, and then several people screamed in fear. I opened my eyes suddenly, and saw Pang Xiaotai suddenly swinging the automatic rifle in his hand and rushing in.
In the group of mummies in front of him, for just a moment, I saw a mummy among the group of corpses catching his swift blow, and then, a group of mummies drowned his figure.
My liver and gallbladder suddenly broke, and a surge of blood instantly surged into my brain. I straightened Zhang Li, looked down at her deeply, pushed her away, turned around and rushed in the direction of Pang Xiaotai. At this time, I felt that there was something behind me.
Several figures were following me and running forward with me. The moment I approached the group of corpses, I heard Zhang Li crying behind me.
I picked up the gun and hit it hard on an object. I said object, because I felt that the mummies were not human flesh, but... a kind of hardness that was extremely cold.
When I was about to swing for the second time, I realized that Pang Xiaotai was probably gone, because my whole body was already unable to move, and countless mummy arms had grabbed every part of my body that could stretch and move, except
My eyes and mouth. The power they hold on me is terrifying and incredible. A person like me who has practiced kung fu for ten years has no room to struggle under their hold.
The hands of the mummies grabbed me and lifted me up. The face of one mummy was already close to mine. I watched helplessly as the sharp teeth exposed in its lower jaw were about to bite my neck.
.I also felt pain in several parts of my body. I knew that I had become the food of the mummies. I said in my heart: "I am going to die." So, I closed my eyes hard.
At this moment, I closed my eyes and suddenly there was a very small but very clear sound in my ears, as if it was coming from a very far away place. Then, I felt my body falling into the cold hard ground.
On the ground, the feeling of being thrown was very painful, but it was so real. I am not dead yet!
I opened my eyes, and I saw all the mummies leaving me like a tide, retreating rapidly along the corridor in the direction they were chasing us. I turned around and looked at where we were standing, through the
Between the bodies of my comrades and experts who looked confused and confused, I saw the mummies on that side also retreating without looking back.
I held on to a wall of the corridor and stood up unsteadily. At this time, I felt pain in my body. My two legs, arms, lower abdomen, and lower back should have been bitten by mummies, but they should
It's not very heavy, that is, their teeth just penetrated my flesh.
I looked at the members of the scientific expedition team who looked a little dull, but without exception stared at my body with strange eyes. I smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you all looking at me? Who can tell me what happened?"
Already?"
But everyone still stood there, looking at me with very strange eyes, and no one answered me. I quickly looked down at my body, and only then did I understand the extremely subtle and clear feeling that was still lingering in my ears.
The voice actually came from my body.
I was surprised when I put my hand into my clothes. A small, round, warm thing was held in my hand. My heart moved. It turned out that I was performing my first mission in the "Seventh Level Earth Dragon Cave".
The piece of white round jade that the old man gave me in Sun Fantasy Land was trembling slightly and making a strange sound.
I held it tightly in my hand, remembering that in the Nine Heavens City Underground in Nanzhao, this round jade also saved us all in times of crisis, allowing us to escape the attack of the blue ghost creatures in the dark passage. That
The old man once said that this thing can bring me a lot of help. Sure enough, it has saved me more than once. It seems that this thing is definitely a strange treasure.
Holding it, I suddenly remembered something. I turned around and looked at the empty corridor. I quickly turned around and looked at the members of the scientific expedition team who were still looking at me. I roared with heartbreak:
"Where is Xiaotai? Who has seen Pang Xiaotai?"
My voice startled everyone, and brought them back to reality from the confusion of escaping from death.
I yelled again with blood-red eyes: "Where is Xiaotai? Who has seen what happened to him?"
At this time, I saw everyone lowering their heads in silence, and I even saw dejection and then sadness on each of their faces.
I turned around and looked at the empty corridor, tears flowing down unknowingly. There were no fragments of clothes on the ground, not a trace of blood. In other words, Pang Xiaotai seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving not a single hair.
I closed my eyes in pain. Could it be that Xiaotai was bitten so cleanly and completely by those mummies like a piece of cake? Was there not even a single thing left for us to commemorate?
Suddenly, I had a very special feeling, as if something was wrong. I opened my eyes and saw that the ground in the corridor was indeed empty. What about my and Pang Xiaotai’s automatic rifles? Could it be that these steel things would also be mummified by these corpses?
Could it be torn into pieces and eaten? Hope suddenly rose in my heart. Maybe the mummies just took away the rifle and Pang Xiaotai's men they had captured instead of eating them.
I turned around and shouted hopefully to all the members of the scientific expedition team: "Xiaotai is not dead! I believe he is not dead, but was taken away by those mummies! We should save him...go save him!"
"
At this time, everyone probably thought that I had gone crazy. Everyone looked at me with expressions of sympathy and pity. Xiao Wenshu and Jiao Yiming even came over with tears in their eyes and hugged my shoulders. I struggled to break away from them.
, shook his head and looked at them in confusion and said: "What? Don't you believe it? The mummy just took him away, not killed him! You believe me, the ground is so clean, without a trace of flesh and blood, and
We no longer have our rifles, so will these mummies still eat our rifles?"
Seeing that there seemed to be some wavering consciousness in everyone's eyes, I quickly said: "Minister An, tell everyone, you know the legend of the mummies in the City of Time. Do you think they can chew up the steel rifles as food and swallow them?"
Minister An shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't believe they can use steel as food, but people with flesh and blood... will definitely become their food. Moreover, according to the ancient scroll records, every time they worship the gods
, will use human beings as living sacrifices.”
As soon as he said this, I interrupted him abruptly, rushed to him, grabbed his shoulders, shook him vigorously and shouted: "Wait a minute! Minister An, you said that every time they worship the gods,
Do you have to use living people to make sacrifices?"
Minister An said with a painful expression as he was being grabbed and shaken by me: "Yes, it is recorded in the ancient scrolls. You...let me go, you are going to scratch my shoulders to pieces!"
I quickly let go of him and excitedly said to everyone: "Why are these mummies resurrected? What are they doing in the temple at this time? I think it is very likely that they have to worship the gods first, so at this time Xiaotai
What is it? It’s a living sacrifice! It’s the living sacrifice they use to worship the gods!”
At this time, everyone seemed to be infected with hope by my words. Instructor Shui also asked Minister An with a hopeful look on his face: "Minister An, do you think this is possible?"
Minister An hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, although I am not sure."
I waved my fist vigorously, looked at everyone firmly and said: "It's not possible, I feel that Xiaotai is not dead, he is in the hands of those mummies, waiting for us to save him! These mummies just retreated,
But they should still come back here to worship the gods, and we must all find a way to save him!"
At this time, Minister An sighed and said: "Comrade Chu, we need to know whether these mummies have eaten Comrade Pang Xiaotai. The possibility is greater than the possibility of being sacrificed alive as we currently guess. Don't hold out too much hope either."
.”
I turned to look at him coldly and said: "Minister An, I want to ask you, what do these mummies come to the temple for? How do you know that all mummies will be resurrected when the golden bell rings twelve times? You
How do you know that these mummies will come to this temple of time to gather after they are resurrected?"
My words aroused everyone's imagination and suspicion of Minister An. The expert named Liu also snorted: "An Tong, now it's time for you to tell us the secrets you know?"
Fei Yifan's sharp voice then sounded: "Lao An, how many fucking things are you hiding and haven't told us all? Brothers are risking their lives to carry out this weird mission, can you fucking hide it from all of us?"
Please explain the purpose of this time clearly? Otherwise, I, Fei, will be the first to stop playing with you, and I believe that everyone else will also stop playing with you."
Minister An rubbed his hands in embarrassment, then looked at all of us with an innocent look, but stopped talking. At this time, Dr. Lin coldly saw that each of us was equally angry and suspicious after looking at Minister An.
, walked to Minister An and said softly to Minister An: "Minister An, I think you should tell everyone the true purpose of this desert trip. In fact, everyone will know it sooner or later."
Minister An forced a smile bitterly, then took a deep breath, exhaled it heavily, and then said: "Everyone, I don't mean to hide what I know on purpose. It's just that the purpose of this desert trip is actually revealed to me.
I'm afraid this will make you feel ridiculous! The purpose of our scientific research expedition is indeed to find the ruins of the ancient Seven Star Civilization. However, the ultimate goal is to find several artifacts from the Seven Star Civilization Era - which are also the seven mysterious countries of the Seven Star Civilization Era.
Treasures that are constantly being fought for. These things include the Water of Time that makes people immortal, the Pill of Time that makes people resurrect from death, the Jade of Time that can take people through time and space, etc. To find these things, we must first
We need to find the "City of Time" that has been called a holy city by the Seven-Star Civilization Alliance. According to ancient scroll records, these artifacts all come from the City of Time. Only by finding the City of Time can we find the real clues to these artifacts."
Speaking of this, Minister An pointed at himself and said: "Everyone should know that the place where I and everyone are now is the "City of Time". One of the artifacts we are looking for may be where we are now."
In the temple of the "City of Time". In the ancient scroll records, there is a prophecy that the "City of Time" will reappear in the world at a certain time. The process is that five thousand years after the fall of the City of Time, time will
The clock will resume walking, and all the elves in the city (human beings in the ancient Seven-Star Civilization era called these one-eyed weirdos "elves") will be resurrected through the "Water of Time" when the clock of time resumes walking and rings twelve o'clock, and then
Gather in the Temple of Time, worship the God of Time, and take the "Time Pill" in the resurrection of the god. With the help of the "God of Time", the "City of Time" will reappear on earth and dominate the human world again. And the ancient
At the end of the volume, it is vaguely mentioned that the reason why human beings in the Seven-Star Civilization era were finally destroyed was because of the existence of the "City of Time" which they called the "Holy City". In the final period of the destruction of human beings, the Seven-Star Civilization
Only then did humans learn that the one-eyed creatures they had always respected as the elves of the "Holy City" were an evil alien form. It was they who finally used various means to destroy the human civilization and all living creatures in the human world at that time.
"
Minister An's words made everyone feel that they were indeed very absurd, as if he was telling a story that could only be found in science fiction novels. Fei Fan even retorted sharply: "Old An, are you talking about myths and legends? This
how can that be possible?"
Minister An's face suddenly became solemn. He ignored Fei Yiyi and said slowly: "From the moment we entered the underground, what we heard and saw are all false? Everyone.
Maybe it seems absurd, but these have been confirmed by us to be true. The existence of the City of Time, the eternal lights for thousands of years, and the strange resurrection of the one-eyed mummy in the underground secret room all illustrate the authenticity of the records in the ancient scrolls.
You may not know this, but I actually thought it was ridiculous when General Long arranged this mission. When he told me that the ancient scrolls predicted that the "City of Time" would reappear in the world five thousand years later, it happened to be 1995.
On this day of the year, I am still 100% doubtful in my heart, but everyone should have seen just now that the normal operation of the Golden Time Clock, striking twelve o'clock on time, and the resurrection of all the mummies in the "City of Time" are all real.
It’s appeared in front of everyone, don’t you still believe it?”
Everyone was silent. What Minister An said was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. What he said did indeed appear and was confirmed. This is not a ridiculous legend.
, is not a science fiction movie or conjecture, but the most real reality.
