Chapter 145 The evil ghost on the stone slab

Holding a gray-yellow bone fragment in his hand, he looked around and saw that the ground was full of bones!

That monster spider’s kitchen from before?

This was the first thing that came to Zhu Jue's mind.

There are monsters nearby and there are a lot of corpses on the ground, anyone would think so.

But this obviously doesn't make sense. The spider monster that first appeared once devoured a person in front of everyone. Zhu Jue was watching this scene on the other side of the hillside at that time. He remembered that the spider first used its fangs to inject blood. Then he melted the person into a bloody state before swallowing it.

The skeletons at their feet are not only complete in parts, but at least they are in the state of bones, which proves that they were not dissolved by the venom before death.

Could it be that there are other monsters?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue frowned subconsciously, narrowed his eyes slightly, and examined the traces on the ground more carefully.

Soon he noticed something unusual.

First of all, quite a few of the skeletons here have very weird external shapes. For example, the one lying on the ground in front of Zhu Jue looks very similar to a human, but both the length and width of the entire skeleton are larger than those of ordinary humans. There are two circles on it, and there are three obvious bone edges on the skull.

Zhu Jue subconsciously touched the top of his head. He probably didn't have such a thing.

monkey? Mutant? Biochemical modification?

I took a few photos with my phone and prepared to go back and give them to Li Qinglian for her to check.

Secondly, the external condition of all the skeletons here shows that they seem to have been here for a long time. There is no trace of adhering flesh fascia on the entire skeleton, and there is no strong smell of blood in this pit. This is Proof that they have been dead for some time.

Finally, and the strangest thing about Zhu Jue, after he looked at the entire bottom of the pit, he found that all the humanoid skeletons were lying on the ground in groups of three or five, while those that were clearly animal skeletons were Split into pieces, a head here, a leg there.

"It's more like a camping ground than a eating ground."

This was Zhu Jue's guess based on the situation at the scene. These, let's call them humanoid creatures for the time being, used to make fires and barbecue here. Then for some reason, they suddenly died or were buried underground. Because of the sudden incident, , leading to the current state.

Only in this way can we explain why there are special buildings around. The fact that they can light a fire and cook barbecue is enough to prove that these humanoid creatures are intelligent.

"It really hurts my head. Tsk, forget it. There's nothing valuable anyway. It's none of my business what these guys are. Let's talk about it when we get back."

After poking around on the ground for a while with a beast's thigh bone, Zhu Jue found no gems, antiques or anything like that. Zhu Jue immediately lost all interest in exploring this place. He looked up at the entrance of the cave and randomly dropped down again, looking for Where there was a place where he could put his feet, the scavenger did not need Zhu Jue's orders and consciously climbed up the stone wall next to him. He immediately found a tree nearby and tied it tightly. Zhu Jue grabbed the end of the rope and raised his feet to pedal on the side of the pit. Get ready to go up.

"Um?"

Zhu Jue, who was about to exert his strength, turned his head and glanced at his feet in confusion. He felt as if he had stepped on a sharp and hard object.

Using the instep as a fulcrum, the soles of the feet rubbed from side to side, and debris of soil continued to fall. Soon Zhu Jue saw a stone slab embedded in the soil.

At first, Zhu Jue thought it was the same as the three large stone slabs with sharp corners that he saw above. Unexpectedly, this stone slab was embedded in the soil with an entire plane. Zhu Jue unexpectedly discovered these stone slabs. There seem to be some special marks on it.

He grabbed the snow that had just fallen with him and rubbed it on the surface of the stone slab, using the melted snow water to wash away some of the dust stuck to it.

What finally appeared in front of us was a stone slab about half a meter long and wide. When the special marks on it were connected, it turned out to be an ancient mural!

Zhu Jue took out his mobile phone and turned on the lighting function. He pointed the light at the slate and took two photos before starting to study the content.

There is not much content in the entire mural. On the right is a group of humanoid creatures holding spears and shields, and on the left is a spider that is much taller than these human creatures.

Obviously, the former was the spider monster that he had just killed not long ago, and the latter was the skeletons that appeared in the pit.

"This kind of monster existed a long time ago?"

In Zhu Jue's understanding, the practice of recording events with murals dates back to a very long time ago, and he did not expect that this kind of spider monster had existed for so long.

You must know that Zhu Jue has always believed that monsters like this kind of source of mental pollution may be alien creatures from the universe like the yellow sand life forms, so they take on such an unacceptable form. After all, there are other things in the universe. No one sees it, so it doesn’t matter if it’s as long as you like.

“I wonder if there are other slates”

Zhu Jue also realized at this time that he might have discovered something of great historical value. Instead, he left in no hurry. He took back the scavenger and transformed it into an iron fence, scraping against the surrounding stone walls. He said that he really found a few new stone slabs, but these were not lying horizontally like the previous ones but were inserted diagonally into the soil. It took a lot of effort to dig them out.

"This mural should show them hunting, or migrating?"

A pair of murals studies the past. Most of them are things in daily life, and time passes quietly without realizing it.

Some of the sunlight that was originally able to reach the bottom of the pit gradually shrank upwards, and eventually only the top of the pit was left with a faint glow.

Without the sunlight, the brightness and temperature inside the cave are decreasing at an extremely fast rate, and darkness has returned here.

Zhu Jue squatted in front of the last stone slab he found and reached out to brush away the dust. However, when his palm passed somewhere above it, a strange feeling suddenly rushed into his mind.

Buzz~buzz~

The induction that only occurs when there is a source of mental pollution nearby made Zhu Jue suddenly stand up and take a defensive posture, but the induction came and went, and the final source turned out to be the stone slab in front of him!

Suppressing the mental discomfort, he concentrated on looking at the cleaned slates on the ground.

Under the illumination of the mobile phone light, Zhu Jue finally saw clearly what was on the stone slab.

It was a pitch-black face that was stretched and deformed, full of pain and despair, and the hair seemed to be blown by a strong wind.

The positions of the eyes are dotted blood red with some unknown pigment.

This is a color that has never been seen on previous slabs!
