Adventure Code

Chapter 703 Finale (6)

The depths of the waters were pitch black, and no aquatic organisms could be seen within the visible range of the underwater searchlights. The further you went down, the greater the water pressure, and your body felt tense.

Just as the tension was getting stronger and making me feel a little uncomfortable, a gray area appeared underwater.

It was stone, like the roof of a certain building. Everyone turned the lights in different directions, and more areas of the hidden underwater buildings were revealed.

At the moment we are on top of this building, which is a remnant of the ruins, so there is no roof above the building, and only half of the square structure remains. Swimming forward, more and more ruins of such dilapidated buildings are revealed.

The piles of collapsed building stones are piled one upon another, revealing many gaps, and under the dark water, some purple light spots are connected into a line, as if they are showing us the way, exuding a faint soft purple light.

This is the underwater firestick, the marks left by the previous few people, the route of the firestick, pointed out a clear line for us in the dark and huge pile of ruins.

Everyone swam along this underwater route, and it didn't take long before they swam into an open area.

Since it was in the water, no one could speak. When the light hit the area, it could be clearly seen that it was an open space paved with gray stones. In the center, there was something like a lotus bud, about It is more than two meters high, with dense linear stripes on the outside, and a concave circular part in the center, which seems to be able to put something.

And at this moment, the metal box that Xu Kaiyi gave me before is placed inside.

The metal box has not been opened, obviously this group of people has not planned to let the power of the skystone-like substance leak out.

Are they really planning to wait for Xu Kaiyi to come and use Xu Kaiyi as a sacrifice?

As I was thinking about it, the flashlight in my hand flashed back and forth, passing by a dilapidated building at the edge of the open space, and I suddenly saw some white things inside the building.

I immediately turned back the light, and this time I saw clearly that it was white bones.

Could it be the bones of the remnants of the Kingdom of God?No, no, if it is really the bones of the survivors of the Kingdom of God, it is impossible to preserve them until now, after all, they are more than 2000 years old.In order to find out what was going on, I immediately swam towards that direction, and the rest of the team immediately followed me when they saw me leaving the team suddenly.

Swim to the outside of the dilapidated building, through the square 'doorway', everything can be seen more clearly.

They are indeed bones, human bones, judging from the size of the bones, they are all adult bones, but there is a very strange phenomenon that caught my attention.

Among these human bones, there are naturally skulls, but the skulls are very small, like those of babies, in stark contrast to the surrounding adult joints.In an instant, a group of adults with children's heads appeared in my mind.

Could it be that these survivors of the Kingdom of God have such small heads?
At this time, a person next to me patted me on the shoulder and pointed upwards, indicating to float to the surface. Since I was wearing an oxygen mask, I couldn't recognize who was who, so I grabbed a small human skull in my hand , I plan to go up and have a look.

After coming out of the water, I sat on the ice and studied the head. The rest of the people were also very interested, and they surrounded me. It turned out that Mr. He, surnamed Xu, didn’t care about it. He just glanced at it and didn’t go any further. Look this way.

I turned the skull upside down and looked in from the bottom, and immediately found that this skull was different from ordinary skulls. The bones were very thick and the space inside was very small. From the perspective of internal structure and capacity, it was not like a human being, but more like some kind of skull. animal.

"This is the head of the sacrificial priest." Seeing my enthusiasm for research, after more than ten minutes, the man named Mr. said this.

The head of the priest?People like Xu Kaiyi and the High Priest?But how could their heads be like this?

Before I could ask, the man said, "I don't know why, but when they were alive, their heads definitely didn't look like this. It should have changed during the sacrifice process."

I think this statement is a bit contrary to common sense, but the wrong head is in my hand, and it is impossible to deny its existence.Thinking of the white bones in the building, I couldn't help asking: "If those are all 'worshippers', does that mean that there were many sacrificial activities to open the Queen Mother's Heavenly Palace at that time?"

The man nodded and said, "You can say that."

I said: "Those who can control the power of heaven and stone will be willing to be sacrificed?"

"The body of the sacrificial priest is consumed as a medium, but the soul is immortal. According to Taoism, it is the soul out of the body."

I didn't know how to refute it for a while. For people in the period of ghost culture, it is normal for people to believe in gods and make some actions that our modern people can't imagine. Doubtful, it is not impossible for those who can master the power of heavenly stones to be willing to be sacrificed on their own initiative.

If Xu Kaiyi really came to this place and was sacrificed by them, wouldn't he be like this head in my hand?
