It can be clearly felt that it is much warmer here than outside.

The front is still dark, but you can vaguely see a lot of things scattered around everyone's feet on the rough stone ground.

The flashlight shone it, only to see dried corpses lying on the edge of the city wall.

Looking at the wreckage, it was found that there were still two corpses nailed to the wall, and their heads had been chopped off.

There are also many arrows stuck inside the city gate and the city wall.

It can be seen that there has been a big battle here.

Eggplant was a little puzzled and said:

"Huh? Damn, are we going the wrong way? Why does this battle seem to be fought in the city? There are no traces of fighting outside the city gate."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"That's right, it doesn't look like a siege battle, it's obvious that these people want to rush out."

Chen Ke heard a little hairy and said:

"Brother Ji, let's fire the lighting arrows, what's going on here?"

Ji Han took out an illuminating arrow, and thought that luckily there should be no light-sensitive monsters in the underground, otherwise this would be a gift, but in such a situation, the illuminating arrow would not work in a large area.

Unavoidably touching the dome here, Ji Han lowered his height a little, and the lighting arrow shot out quickly.

The explosion exploded above everyone's heads, and the white light illuminated the surroundings again.

There are still many corpses lying on the open space ahead, it seems that the battle here is very tragic.

The end of the open space seemed to be a cliff, but there was a fence. The four of them ran to the end of the open space while the lighting effect was still there, and they could just see the situation outside the fence.

There are many house-style holes on the stone walls on the left and right sides, which are a bit like cave dwellings.

In front of the holes on both sides is a simple wide road, which is connected to the open space where the four people are.

Outside the fence of Kuandao, in front of the four of them, was a huge crack, bottomless.

Chapter 119 The Same Beheading

As the light of the lighting arrow gradually weakened, the four of them finally focused their eyes on the crack in front of them.

The crack is less than [-] meters wide, and the other end is completely invisible.

And looking down, there is only endless darkness.

Chen Ke exclaimed:

"My God, this crack is too exaggerated."

Ji Han remembered the pure black stone he had seen before, and asked:

"Could it still be that kind of pure black stone underneath, so it looks dark?"

"Probably not?"

While talking, Chen Ke threw a lighting stick into the distance.

The lighting stick fell under the gaze of the four until it disappeared from everyone's sight and was swallowed by darkness.

Like a shooting star, it cut through the sky and then disappeared at the end of the night sky.

Song Qian was also surprised and said:

"The depth is really scary, and it's still next to the ancient ruins."

Chen Ke asked:

"Do you think the cracks were dug by those ancient people?"

Eggplant smiled and said:

"Don't talk about those ancient people, even if you call all the excavator professionals in Lanxiang, you can't dig out this scale."

There are several old wooden bridges above the huge crack, but they look crumbling, and the broken wooden bridge foundations can still be seen beside them.

This bridge is probably impossible to go on.

The light of the lighting arrow finally disappeared completely, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

Song Qian suggested:

"It's better not to use large-scale lighting tools, and don't throw things down, after all, I don't know if there will be anything attracted up here."

Ji Han continued:

"This should be the place mentioned in the Pre-Qin Nine-Star Mirror, but compared to the scene recorded in the mirror, this place is already a dead city."

Eggplant complained:

"Then how to find it next? This dead city is too big. There are so many houses and caves. Is it possible to visit one by one?"

Song Qian looked at the divine column detector in her hand and said:

"There is still no obvious signal here. If you can detect it, you can only go inside."

Chen Ke looked at the huge crack behind him and said:

"Could it be that the divine pillar was thrown down?"

Ji Hanxin said, that's the end of it, but this game shouldn't be that bad, otherwise wouldn't it be completely turned into a rock climbing game?

Ji Han thought for a while and said:

"The earliest situation of this ancient city is not easy to explore. But I think we should start with the corpses of these Huns. They are still a little closer to us. First search the corpses on the ground and the nearest caves to see See if there are any clues left by the Huns."

Everyone thinks it is feasible, at least it is easier than rummaging through rooms one by one without purpose.

However, everyone rummaged through the corpses in the open space, but found nothing of value, except for fur, clothes, weapons, and just some scattered decorations.

The four had no choice but to start rummaging from the cave closest to the clearing.

Although the entrance of the cave is not big, the space inside is not small, it really looks like a cave dwelling.

There are also several remains in the first few caves. It seems that they did not actively participate in the battle outside. The remains are curled up in the corner, and they don't know what happened when they were killed.

Although there wasn't any valuable information, Ji Han did discover some characteristics when he saw these remains along the way.

Ji Han didn't understand it yet, and said vaguely:

"Have you noticed that the bodies of the Huns that you saw along the way, except for those who were beheaded, were not beheaded?"

Eggplant smiled and said:

"It's really listening to what you have to say. It's like listening to what you have to say. Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, you have not been beheaded except for being beheaded."

When Ji Han heard it, he was also amused by his stupid speech.

Song Qian understood what he meant and explained:

"Brother Han, do you want to talk about the ratio? Quite a few people were beheaded."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"Hey, that's what it means, because in a real war, even if you want to attack the opponent's neck, you can kill the opponent by cutting off the opponent's trachea and blood vessels. Beheading is very labor-intensive. The proportion of beheading here is very high." High, a little abnormal, as if the head must be beheaded."

Speaking of this, everyone immediately thought of the same thing.

Chen Ke continued:

"Those corpses in the water outside! These Hun soldiers were beheaded, just like we killed the strange corpses in the water outside!"

Eggplant Yiting also reacted and said:

"Indeed, and all those who died here were Hun soldiers. It seems that a civil war broke out. Could it be that some of them have also become the corpses outside?"

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely to be so.

Ji Han asked:

"Eggplant, did you see how the other corpses mutated after the bronze bell was destroyed?"

"Of course, it was the big black guy in Ethan's team who touched the copper bell, and then the bell shattered, and many small bright spots like will-o'-the-wisps drilled out of it, and went straight to those pale corpses , as soon as he came into contact with those corpses, he came alive."

According to Eggplant, it seems that these Xiongnu soldiers encountered a similar situation, and those little bright spots like will-o'-the-wisps are the key.

The four said that they had found the fourth cave.

As soon as he came in, Ji Han knew that there would be something to gain here.

Because on the wall of this cave, Gou Huahua carved a lot of words, and there were two complete corpses lying beside the wall.

As soon as Eggplant entered the room, he smiled and said:

"Oh! It seems to be a good student's room. In those days, was scribbling on the wall the same as hanging calligraphy and painting on the wall?"

Chen Ke looked at the writing on the wall and said:

"The writing is so complicated, is this the writing used by the Huns?"

Ji Han remembered that the Xiongnu didn't seem to have a fixed script, and most of them relied on language transmission.

Thinking about it this way, they should all be masters at playing megaphones.

Even so, they will still learn some simple characters from the surrounding tribes or ethnic groups, so these characters look very complicated.

But to Ji Han, it doesn't matter.

After all, I also subscribed to the Quantum Fluctuation Reading Method translation package, so even if you show yourself the oracle bone inscriptions, there is no problem.

"Be alert outside, let me see what this buddy wrote?"

Eggplant pointed the gun and looked outside, while complaining:

"I don't know how you multilingual people have long brains. I can't even write swearing English well."

After Ji Han translated the content on the entire wall, he read it silently. Although some parts of the wall have fallen off, it does not affect the overall understanding.

After understanding what the Xiongnu soldiers experienced here, Ji Han sighed and said:

"Guys, we really have to go down that crack."

1 Chapter [-] The Annihilated Soldiers

Chen Ke was also surprised when he heard that:

"No way, we really got under the crack?"

Ji Han explained:

"Not down to the bottom of the crack, but under the platform."

Then Ji Han began to briefly summarize the content on the wall to everyone.

These are indeed Xiongnu soldiers from the Western Han Dynasty, who were chased here by the Han army.

This team was broken up and drank water at Crescent Lake for supplies. They wanted to hide behind Mingsha Mountain to recuperate, but happened to encounter a sandstorm and lost their way and then fell into quicksand.

When they woke up again, they had already fallen with the quicksand onto the wide road beside the crack.

Hearing that, Eggplant asked:

"No way, the Xiongnu soldiers were also high-end fighters in the Han Dynasty, and they were beaten so badly?"

Ji Han smiled and said:

"Although it is not clearly written here who was the one who defeated the Huns? But from the description of the opponent's general, it should not be difficult to infer. It is written here that although the enemy general is young, he is good at using surprise tactics."

Hearing what Ji Han said, Chen Ke also thought of someone.

"Brother Ji, you are not talking about the champion, Huo Qubing?"

Ji Han nodded.

"Young and adopted the strategy of raiding and running. At that time, he chased the Hun soldiers so badly. I guess he was the one who sealed the wolf and Juxu."

Eggplant was also surprised when he heard that:

"Huo Qubing? The Xiongnu are immortal, why is the one at home?"

I didn't expect that although Eggplant doesn't like to read history, this character is quite clear.

Ji Han nodded, and continued to tell what happened to these Hun soldiers after they arrived here.
