Chapter 246 Withered Flowers
"I really didn't expect that he would actually start chatting with the wild beast. He seemed to feel quite accomplished." Jason complained among the people watching Simon fight from a distance.
"This scene would be much more appropriate if the wolf was a hopeless villain," Alka agreed.
Because Simon was really chattering there, and they couldn't hear exactly what Simon was saying?
However, the four sentinel machines were indeed facing the giant wolf to prevent it from escaping.
"But if you look at it this way, Simon is more like a villain."
Mathilda said silently.
Then Simon's laughter was heard again.
Hearing this laughter.
That seems to be true.
"There are three more over there who seem to want to come and get involved. Do you want to deal with them?"
Jason suddenly raised his gun, pointed it at the three giant wolves still hiding in the jungle in the distance, and asked.
"Fire two shots to scare them away. They won't dare to come over again. Their souls are filled with fear." Julia said silently.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Of course, there is no need to refuse a small request from your companion.
Jason raised his gun and fired twice. Two bullets flew out and made two dents in the mud where the giant wolves were hiding.
Sand and stones splashed, accompanied by roars of fear.
Three wolves escaped in the jungle.
At this time, Simon also walked towards the crowd.
Two drops of water flew over and landed on his face and calves.
The scars on his face and the wounds on his legs disappeared immediately, and he recovered quickly to normal.
They are all simple external injuries and can be treated in an instant.
"Thank you." Simon said to Mathilda with a smile.
"Need not."
Alka looked at the thing Simon was carrying and asked curiously, "Why did you catch it? You don't want to be a hunter, do you?"
"What do you mean by being a hunter? I just think this wolf is interesting. Study it a little and you'll know then." Simon squatted down and patted the giant wolf that was tied up tightly next to him.
"Evil!" The giant wolf that was hit on the head let out an angry growl.
However, its mouth and limbs were tied tightly with metal and it could not do anything.
Simon has also ordered the sentinel robots to begin decomposing the materials of the giant wolves.
I didn't expect he added this feature.
"Okay, whatever you want. Now let's go check out the ruins first."
As they spoke, they came to the ruins not far away.
Looking at the protruding part of the ruins, this protruding part is very conspicuous, at least eight or nine meters high, and it is well preserved, with only half of it collapsed.
However, it can also be seen that this seems to be the top of some kind of building.
"It's still the same old rules . Everyone is familiar with it. Let's get to work."
After that, everyone started to work together.
The first is the detection of Xiadaiti.
"This ruin...is well preserved. Although more than half of it has collapsed, it covers a large area and is quite high."
As he spoke, he marked the ground, and as he marked, everyone began to dig.
"If we dig like this, we won't encounter those strangers from yesterday, right?" Xia Daiti suddenly asked.
Alka, who was digging, looked up and waved his hand when he heard this.
"Don't worry, they are still far away from us."
"You are so confident. What did you do?"
Xia Daiti asked curiously.
Being so confident, Alka must have done something to those strangers without their knowledge.
"I marked their dreams. I discovered a method some time ago that allows me to sense the distance between me and them."
Previously, Alka had marked those dream bubbles or dream creatures in his dreams, so that he could locate them directly the next time he entered the dream world without having to search for them again.
Later, after the person he marked woke up from the dream, Alka discovered it when they met in the daytime.
He could actually feel the marks he made in his dreams even when he was not dreaming during the day.
It’s just that compared to dreams, one can sense anything at a distance and check the situation around the mark.
In reality, such induction is very vague unless the distance is relatively close.
Otherwise, you can hardly feel it.
After many speculations and experiments.
The mark allows Alka to begin to sense the distance of the marked person within a range of 2 kilometers.
Although it is very blurry, if you really pay attention, you can feel it.
The closer the distance, the more obvious the sensation.
And Alka had already marked all the people in that group of strangers last night.
After listening to Alka's explanation, Xia Daiti nodded: "You are really thoughtful."
The excavation is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Am I seeing things? Why did I dig up bones?" Jason asked puzzledly as he looked at the area he dug and what he dug out.
His voice also attracted everyone present to come and check.
Among them was Alka.
Looking at the bones dug out by Jason, there was no golden object next to the bones.
Isn't this the corpse?
"Why are there bones? It's strange that we have dug up so many ruins before but didn't find a single body." Xia Daiti looked at the body, squatted beside it, and said in confusion.
"First dig it out completely and see."
Alka said as he looked at the body which was almost completely buried in the soil.
Several people dug out the bones completely, then took them out and pieced them together outside.
It was perfectly pieced together to form a skeleton more than two meters tall, with slender arms and finger bones, all indicating that this unknown skeleton was indeed the body of a Vastwa person.
"Except for fractures in the hands and thighs, there are no fatal injuries elsewhere. It seems that he did not die from injuries."
Mathilda said after examining the body.
"Wait, that's not right." She seemed to have discovered something again and bent down.
The tip of the snake's tail was quiet and no longer swaying.
Then he gently picked up a rib, looked at the color of the rib, and even sniffed it gently.
"Some kind of soul absorption caused a large amount of soul to pass through this bone, leaving some soul power in the bone."
Hearing this, Porro curiously took the bone from Mathilda's hand.
I looked at it over and over again, and even learned to smell it.
"Is it so mysterious? I can't tell at all."
"If you figured that out, then you'd be a doctor," Jason grumbled, receiving a kick from Pororo.
"Okay, okay, let's keep digging. We don't have enough information right now, and we don't know what it is."
After Alka finished speaking, everyone dispersed and started digging again.
As they dug deeper, the entire ruins were revealed and more bones were dug out.
Without exception, most of these corpses did not die from external injuries, at least there were no fatal wounds on their bones.
But regardless of whether the bones have suffered fatal injuries or not, there are traces of soul absorption on the bones.
This means that most of them died because their souls were sucked away.
As for how the soul was sucked away and who caused it, they had no idea.
After all, they had never even seen soul absorption, and Matlisa only knew about it, but she didn't know the real situation.
What’s strange is why there are corpses only here and not elsewhere?
Jason and the others were already wondering if this place was a cemetery used to bury people.
It is not impossible to use a high tower as a cemetery. After all, this is an ancient Chinese name from tens of thousands of years ago. Who knows?
With the complete excavation of the ruins.
Alka then discovered that the ruins were actually well preserved and that the damage was not caused by an external attack, but by underground vibrations.
After all, the collapse caused by the two is different. The two we saw before, except for the museum, were all collapsed by external attacks.
As if it was interrupted by a huge hand.
are different.
And Alka had already seen the golden light coming out from the cracks in the rocks.
He picked up a shovel, walked over, and started digging gently.
"What are you digging there for?" Simon asked curiously.
There are traces of collapsed ruins there, so they need to be protected.
"There are treasures in there," Alka said quietly.
"Oh, there is a treasure."
Hearing this, Simon nodded indifferently and went about his own business.
Then he turned around suddenly, his face full of surprise, and asked loudly: "What did you say? There is a treasure?"
"Treasure? Where is the treasure?"
Jason also ran over curiously.
Everyone was attracted by the sound.
"Hey, isn't this it?" Alka pointed to the pit he had dug and the object emitting golden light in the pit.
Next to the gold mine, half of a corpse was revealed.
Why say half and half? Because he has no lower body, and Alka only dug the side of the upper body.
Everyone immediately leaned over.
"Don't push, don't push."
Alka dug out the object completely and held it in his hand, and the golden light disappeared with his touch.
This is a withered flower, with withered petals still hanging on the stamens, and even the roots have turned yellow.
If it weren't for the golden light it was emitting, its appearance would have been exactly the same as a withered flower, without the slightest difference.
"Is this... a treasure?" Jason asked.
Honestly, it's hard to believe.
After all, if it was not dug out of the soil, it would be impossible for a withered flower to remain in the soil for tens of thousands of years.
"It's hard to describe the appearance of this item. He will be promoted to the top of the list of the most inconspicuous treasures." Lucelia said suddenly.
"When did this list come about? Why didn't I know about it?"
"I just had it. The last top spot is my flag."
At this moment, Alka suddenly felt something and lowered his head.
The priest's hand, which had turned into a corpse, suddenly grabbed his ankle tightly.
The pink mist suddenly exploded, and a mirror appeared on Alka's face. He instantly entered the state of dream death and appeared a few meters away.
The whole process takes no more than one second.
Xia Daiti and others who were surrounding them also jumped behind them to avoid the attack in an instant.
The corpse in the pit remained intact, except for the arm which was broken due to the grip.
Alka, who was a few meters away, suddenly came out of the state of dream death, looked at the hand bone on his ankle and took it off.
"Samor Road, Samor Road, Samor Road... Er Road." This word kept echoing in my mind.
The entire word filled his mind, making him completely unable to resist.
He tried hard to resist, sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Something's wrong with Alka, save him!"
Xiadaiti was the first to notice something was wrong with Alka and shouted loudly.
Lucilia's body collapsed, and her soul came out and pierced into Alka's body like a sharp blade.
She noticed that Alka had mental problems and prepared to enter Alka's soul space, which should be able to help him resist.
This is something they did a long time ago, and it has some merits.
But it was too late.
Alka opened his mouth and spoke a language that no one could understand, but they could tell it was the unique language of the island.
Everyone felt disappointed.
"Samoor Road."
"The temple has been activated!" Julia said as she felt the sudden increase in magic power around her.
This time they didn't want to wait there, but went to the side above the pit.
Xiadaiti and Jason, who were closest to Alka, stepped forward and prepared to take Alka with them.
However, this time it is different.
As soon as the words fell, their bodies immediately disappeared from the spot, except for the doll shell of Lucilia who had lost her soul, which had returned to its original state and fell to the spot.
The beautiful clothes on the doll were covered with a layer of dirty mud.
As it fell and rolled, it fell into a pit.
And as this sentence was shouted out.
The words that had been madly occupying Alka's mind also disappeared, his thoughts returned, and his brain began to function again.
Take control of your body and look around.
Matlisa had come to his side, with her hands pointed at his brain, and a faint magic power surrounded his head.
The hands below are raised to assist in the inspection.
The others turned their backs to Alka, shielding him in the center.
"How do you feel now?" Lucelia's voice came from the soul.
"When did you get into my body?" Alka said in surprise.
His mind was filled with the same sentence just now, making him completely oblivious to what was happening around him.
"Just now, you were in a trance and had problems. You even chanted the Samor Road and activated this temple."
"Really? When the corpse grabbed me just now, these words came into my mind, forcing me to read them out loud."
Looking back now, if my spirit and soul were not much stronger than those of ordinary people, I would not have been able to resist this thought when it flooded into my mind.
And I at least resisted for a few seconds.
Think about the identity of that corpse.
After all, he was a powerful man from the mythological era tens of thousands of years ago, and one of the leaders of a city-state. It was already very good that the backup plan he left behind could help him resist for a few seconds.
Alka comforted herself in this way.
With the treasure beside him, the corpse must be the high priest.
Looking at Matlisa who was checking herself, she opened her eyes and said, "It's okay. I'm fine now."
Matlisa looked at him and nodded. She had just checked and found nothing wrong.
I just conducted a thorough inspection because I was worried about Alka's condition.
"Is this the overlapping space of the temple?" Alka asked, looking around.
Xia Daiti nodded.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
"It's okay, something went wrong just now, I'll tell you later."
Then he looked at the situation around him.
This is roughly a square space with a side length of 200 meters and a height of about 10 meters.
Everything around had already been broken into pieces and scattered all over the ground, except for a blue crystal ball in the house that was still floating quietly.
At this time, the blue crystal ball was emitting a faint glow, and the light was becoming stronger and stronger.
This made everyone gathered together more alert. Lucilia's soul came out of Alka's chest and looked at the situation outside.
As the blue light gathered, a flickering figure made of light appeared.
He had obvious Wastwa features and was wearing a robe of unclear color. Judging from the patterns and symbols on the robe, it seemed to be some kind of religious robe.
His eyes were numb and his expression was mechanical.
What is noteworthy is that he has no lower body, and only the upper body which is condensed by faint light is floating.
Looking at Alka and others.
Suddenly he started talking.
They spoke the language of the island, but the problem was that Alka could understand it.
He scratched his ears to make sure he had heard correctly.
"He speaks the language of the island, doesn't he?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned his head to look at him, then nodded.
“I don’t know who you are, where you are from, or even how many years from now you will be from.
But I hope you can help us, help our compatriots trapped in the alien space...trapped in the [Heart of the Pioneering]..., this is a divine...treasure, it is stored...in the...opened...autumn...put together...and...beat...I hope you...thank you."
It sounded like this person spoke a few complete sentences , but the rest was just intermittent sounds.
It couldn't even maintain its condensed shape, flickering as if there was a short circuit.
Fortunately, Alka was able to learn more information based on the treasure information, so he could understand some of it.
You can probably understand what he wants to express.
When he said the last word "thank you", he disappeared.
Even the crystal ball floating behind him dimmed, and fell straight to the floor of the space, rolling to the side twice and getting stuck in the corner.
"What did he say just now? Why was it so intermittent, and from the look of your face, can you understand it?" Xiadaiti asked Alka.
Alka nodded.
"Perhaps it's because of the message just now. I can suddenly understand their language."
"That's normal, isn't it? After all, he's seeking help from us, isn't he? If we can't even understand the language he left behind, how can we help them?" Lucelia, who also understood, said from the side.
Alka nodded and said that was indeed the truth.
"So what did he just say? He didn't look like he had any ill intentions. What does he want us to help them with?" Jason asked curiously.
The series of actions just now were all means for this phantom to seek help before his death.
Perhaps even he himself did not expect that it would be tens of thousands of years later that the first person to find his body and come here would be the first to find it.
Alka thought it was amazing that the sphere could last for tens of thousands of years.
