What could be more surprising than learning that aliens exist
Of course there is! That's learning that some old grave robber has unearthed alien relics from an unknown tomb.
Looking at the vibrating and slightly humming black metal plate in front of me, my brain was instantly filled with various movies and novels, and weird stories poured out continuously.
The powerful warriors from the depths of the universe have gone through countless fierce battles and fell to the uncivilized earth at that time with serious injuries. The warriors who could no longer return to their hometowns were revered as gods by the local aborigines, leading the people on earth to fight against tyranny and dictatorship time and time again. , and finally finished his lonely life on this distant planet. The things he left behind were regarded as sacred objects by the respectful earth people and buried in the long river of history, until one day, a man named... er, forgot to call What's the matter, anyway, it was a wretched old man who discovered a forgotten tomb, and the story of this alien warrior finally revealed the tip of the iceberg, and then the subtitles appeared...
"Ah Jun?" The shallow voice suddenly rang in my ears, and I, who had already entered the delusional mode, quickly regained my senses.
"ah?"
"What are you doing, why are you in a daze again?" Qianqian looked at me with some dissatisfaction, as if she had no choice but to feel that I was always in a daze from time to time, and Lin Xue even burst out: "Could it be that you were caught by an ancient item here? Cursed? As far as I know, some ancient mysterious items can make people trance-should I send you to check it?"
"Uh... no need, I was just thinking about something... How, now that I can confirm that item can resonate with Qianqian, then what is this thing?"
All eyes were on Gu Zhengfeng.
The old tomb robber coughed dryly and said, "Actually, I don't know very well..."
We all glared at him viciously together.
The old tomb robber quickly shrank his neck and said: "But I can confirm that this thing is useful - when I found the ruins with a few friends, I found this thing in the depths of a tomb inside. At that time, there was a pair of this thing on the wall of the tomb. The introduction said that this is the "beacon of the lost", and only those who are selected can take it. At that time, I was greedy and took it out of the box without listening to my companion's dissuasion. As a result, the authorities were aroused. Several companions died in the tomb, only I escaped by relying on the guidance of this thing, but I was hunted down and fell into this field... "
After listening to Gu Zhengfeng's narration, I roughly understood the history of this "Ethereal Beacon", and said: "So you make a rule that only those who can have some kind of connection with this 'Beacon of the Lost' can take it away." it?"
The old man nodded and said: "That's it. In fact, at the beginning, I didn't expect that someone could really resonate with this thing. I just entrusted the ability group with the mentality of giving it a try. If there are people who want to go to the ruins to investigate , brought them to me, and actually met an archaeologist surnamed Xu... It's a pity, that person didn't listen to my advice, but scolded me instead... Alas, it's rare for me, Gu, to do this in my life. Good thing... ”
Lin Xue snorted disapprovingly, and said, "If I were you, I would throw this thing away as soon as possible."
"If he really threw this thing away, wouldn't we be in big trouble?"
Lin Xue snorted again, but this time she didn't habitually refute what I said, but stood up and changed the subject: "Anyway, this thing is already in hand, let's hurry up, stay here for so long For a long time, I almost felt like I was buried in a grave."
***********Go to the ruins**********
"It's there." Getting out of the special desert off-road vehicle, Lin Xue pointed to the front not far away.
"Where is it? Why can't I see it?" I looked around and found nothing but a sand dune.
Lin Xue walked forward immediately and said, "Stupid, how can such a mysterious ruin be placed where people can see it at a glance—it is under this desert!"
Underground again? Could it be that the ancients also had the same hobby as Lin Xue and the others, like building underground bases
At the bottom of the dune, we saw the entrance to that ruin.
A two or three-meter-high corridor supported by gray-white stones, standing at the entrance of the corridor and looking in, you can only see the long stone steps extending downwards, gradually being swallowed by the deep darkness, which makes people feel An illusion of "here won't lead directly to hell".
Lin Xue closed her eyes, as if she was seriously feeling the surrounding environment, and then said: "Sure enough—the sand dunes here are still, so the entrance of this cave is not flooded by quicksand."
Without Lin Xue's reminder, I have already obtained a more accurate description from Pandora.
With this hole as the center, the sand within a radius of one kilometer all presents a strange "pseudo-stationary" state. The reason why it is called "pseudo-stationary" is that they are not really completely still in place, but are still affected by the wind force. The action of the sand moves slowly, but after a while, the sand will return to its original position under the action of a mysterious force. Therefore, this hole has existed here for many years, but it has never been flowed. devoured.
A place full of eerie.
"Sikaro," I said to the knight-faced uncle on the side through a spiritual connection, "raise your attention, and give priority to protecting Qianqian and Lin Xue in the event of an accident. The two of them have the weakest self-protection ability."
At this time, Lin Xue also completed her perception of the surrounding situation. She opened her eyes and said, "It's safe ahead, everyone go in."
I felt my clothes being grabbed from behind, so I turned my head and comforted me softly: "Don't be afraid, Qianqian, there are six supernatural beings here to protect you."
I don’t know how many years this corridor has existed. The stone steps under our feet have been pitted and pitted by the years, and many places will even collapse when we step on it, and then the broken stones will roll down endlessly with a clattering sound. In the darkness, we leaned on the rough stone wall and walked forward cautiously with the slightly dim light from the blue-white cold light tube. danger that arises.
"Strange..." Xue Lin suddenly said, "How long have we been walking?"
"It's been about an hour." I said uncertainly, because of the gloomy environment and the oppressive atmosphere, I felt that I had been walking in this weird place for a long time.
"Twenty minutes," Pandora's calm voice sounded in the minds of all of us.
"Well..." Lin Xue whispered, "In this depressing environment, people's perception of the passage of time will be wrong. Lily is blind so she is not affected, which means that we have already walked here for nearly half a year. Hour… "
"Sister, what did you find?" Lin Feng asked.
"The air—we've gone so deep, the air in this corridor has not become thinner or turbid at all—this is definitely an abnormal thing in an ancient crypt."
Is it that strange "pseudo-static" phenomenon again
"Although it's a very abnormal phenomenon, it's better than no air. At least the respirators we carry won't be needed for the time being." Lin Xue said, walking forward quickly, and we followed closely behind.
I don't know how long we walked, but when I was wondering if this almost endless staircase could lead all the way to the heart of the earth, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of us.
After Lin Xue confirmed that there was no danger ahead, we immediately rushed to the faint light.
"Ah—this is..." Lin Xue exclaimed as she looked at the scene in front of her.
What appeared in front of us was a huge stone hall!
Pandora's voice suddenly sounded in my mind, with obvious excitement: "This is the cemetery of Xiling warriors!"
