Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

The wolf king also found it very strange.

Most of Turan's epics, because of word of mouth and rumors, do contain some elements of smearing, exaggeration, and extravagant hype.

But the epic battle between the Stomachless King and the Abyssal Demon Insect, because of the unprecedented fighting method and was witnessed by a large number of lion and tiger warriors, many details appeared in different epics.

Even the priests of the Xiong Clan deliberately exaggerated the martial prowess of their ancestors.

There is no need for the warriors of the lion and tiger clan to vouch for a strong bear clan.

"I have seen the details of the fierce battle between the Stomachless King and the Abyss Demon Insect in at least four war epics from different sources. Two of the war epics mentioned that the Stomachless King was spit out by the Abyss Demon Insect; one A war epic from the Tiger Clan mentions that the Stomachless King was rescued by lion and tiger warriors by cutting open the belly of the abyssal monster worm; another war epic from the Bear Clan mentions that the Stomachless King bit through it himself. The belly of the abyssal monster worm is forced out."

The wolf king pondered, "But no matter how he came out, in order to defeat the abyssal insects, the stomachless king paid the price of his limbs and facial features. The flesh and blood of his body was almost eroded, and his internal organs were directly exposed to the air.

"Three of the war epics also use thick and colorful brushwork to describe in detail the stomachless king's huge stomach and intestines that are thicker than a boa constrictor, to demonstrate his bravery.

"It is said that his intestinal tract has been making thunderous wriggling sounds. Even after his death, this terrible thundering sound continued for three days and three nights, as if it was not his brain that controlled the Stomachless King, but his brain. Same with his gut.

"So, your suspicion is very reasonable. If this is really the corpse of the King Without Stomach, it shouldn't be so complete at all. At least, the internal organs should be exposed.

"No, not only the Stomachless King, but also 'Fist', and almost all the powerful orcs standing here.

"It stands to reason that the legendary heroes who are qualified to stand here are all existences who value honor far more than life. They are not willing to let time slowly take away their strength, and let their wrinkles be like a net of death. Hanged.

"According to Turanze's practice, when the power reaches its peak and foresees that it is about to enter the stage of aging, just like the sun at noon, which is shining brightly and is about to stumble into darkness, these legendary heroes will fight against the most powerful enemy. issue a challenge.

"Either they will single-handedly rush to the lair where the totem beasts gather.

"Or, take the lead in the battle of glory and charge towards the magicians, night watchmen, elf archers and dwarf artillerymen that are hundreds of times more numerous than yourself.

"In short, a legendary hero of Turanze will neither let young people see his old appearance, nor will he tolerate his own corpse and keep it intact.

"Decapitation is a common occurrence. Broken limbs and beheaded can barely meet the standard. Only when they are torn apart or even burned to charcoal by the magician's fireball can their souls hold their heads high, step into the holy mountain temple, and reunite with each other." The ancient ancestors talked and laughed happily.

"Based on this standard, the corpses here are indeed too complete.

"Although many of the corpses were covered with cuts and bruises, the bones and internal organs deep in the flesh and blood could be faintly seen, and many of the corpses had even had half of their heads chopped off.

"However, most of their limbs remained intact, and the split head was covered with a layer of periosteum as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it had been repaired ingeniously.

"This is really weird. I have explored so many lost temples—since the holy mountain temple was sealed three thousand years ago, many ordinary temples have also become the burial places of Turan warriors.

"But I have never seen such a weird burial method, and such a weird... corpse."

"Perhaps, these things are not real corpses."

Meng Chao approached the corpse of the "fist", turned his extraordinary vision to the limit, his pupils kept zooming, and studied the corpse carefully like a microscope, no, it was the surface of this "thing".

By constantly adjusting the magnification of his eyes, Meng Chao was sure that the surface of this thing did not have the skin flakes that ordinary corpses have.

The seemingly thick hair also faintly exudes a metallic luster.

His "flesh and blood" can't see the characteristics of the slightest organic matter, but it is perfectly integrated with the fragmented armor.

I don't know whether the battle armor grew out of the flesh and blood, or the flesh and blood grew from under the battle armor.

"I think this is not a corpse, but a statue made of some unknown material."

Meng Chao had come into contact with thousands of monster corpses.

Including its own "Superstar Group", because it monopolized the supply market of low-end monster materials in Dragon City, it even became the contractor of the Red Dragon Army's military compressed canned monster meat. In order to extend the shelf life of monster flesh and meat, lock in the nutrients Substances have also introduced several lines for rapid dehydration and quick freezing and preservation.

Meng Chao knew very well what the monster's flesh and blood looked like after being quickly dehydrated, frozen and refrigerated, injected with various antiseptic agents and even high-energy substances.

The monster's flesh and blood after rapid dehydration, even in an environment dozens of degrees below zero, was frozen like a lump of ice.

With Meng Chao's extremely keen perception, he could still easily distinguish the difference between them and inorganic objects.

These things in front of them are completely different from the dehydrated and refrigerated monster flesh and blood.

Although Meng Chao could faintly perceive the extremely weak magnetic field activity from the bodies of these things.

But he still couldn't imagine that these weird statues were once some kind of life.

"If...they're really statues, that's more of a problem."

The Wolf King frowned deeply, and murmured, "Who shaped and carved them, and for what purpose did they put them here?

"Also, don't you think that the carving style of these statues is too...realistic?"

Indeed, Meng Chao could also see it.

Turan orcs are not without artistic cells.

It's just that, like most of the brave and ruthless barbarians, the artistic style of the Turan orcs is also simple and rough, doing whatever they want, and the "Fauvism" approach.

For example, what the two of them saw in the corridor before seemed to be scratching the walls with the claws of ferocious beasts. It was full of abstract colors, and the murals were extremely rough and unrestrained.

These "statues" in front of me have come to an end on the road of realism.

On each of the statues, the fine hairs are clearly visible, the folds between the skin completely conform to the direction of the texture, the slightly protruding blood vessels and nerves have a different luster, and even the large pores are meticulously carved out.

You know, Turan orcs are famous for their thick and unkempt hair.

Even with Dragon City's virtual animation technology, it's not easy to create a real Turan orc on the computer screen.

Not to mention, with such insane finishing techniques, such a, no, thousands of lifelike statues are carved in reality.

Although the snake people, crocodile people and lizard people of the Dark Moon clan have no hair.

But their scales, and the unique scratch marks on each scale, are more difficult to carve than hair.

Wounds were a hundred times more troublesome than hair and scales.

Whether chopped with a knife or an axe, pierced with a sword, stabbed with a spear, bitten by a beast, burned by magic flames, or pierced by magic lightning... Wounds caused by different reasons all have intricate and unique presentation forms.

Experts like Meng Chao and Wolf King who read corpses can tell at a glance the angle of a certain wound, whether it is a fatal wound or a fake wound cut after death, and can even deduce the whole process of a fierce battle by reading the wound.

But they "read" dozens of statues, but they didn't see the flaws of the half wounds.

Even after Meng Chao carefully observed the statues of "Fist" and "Big Stomach King", he found that the distribution, depth and shape of all the wounds were roughly in line with what the Wolf King told him and the records in the war epic.

This is also the main reason why the two of them regarded these statues as mummy at the beginning.

When a cold dead object is sculpted into a vivid human form by incredible technology, but the material used to shape it is completely different from that of a real person, it is easy to make real living people feel a sense of shuddering fear.

Experts and scholars on the earth call this phenomenon the "uncanny valley effect".

At this moment, Meng Chao and Wolf King felt that they had fallen into a bottomless valley of terror.

"Who, what tools, techniques and materials were used, and for what purpose, made these statues?"

The two looked at each other.

They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and the slightly twitching muscles in the corners of the eyes.

at this time--

"Boom!"

In the depths of the silent statues, there was a soft sound suddenly, and it was unclear whether it was the sound of footsteps or drums.

The pupils of Meng Chao and Wolf King shrank to the limit at the same time.

"Did you hear it, is there really a sound coming from the depths of the phalanx, or is it my hallucination?"

"I heard that, to be honest, I don't know if everything in front of me is an illusion, or if everything in front of me is real."

"Wait, do you feel... something has changed in this place, I can't say it, I always feel that something is wrong, it is different from when we just climbed this high platform."

"Yes, it's the feet!"

Meng Chao and Wolf King looked at their feet at the same time.

Originally, the high platform was covered with a layer of thick black substance similar to the humus in the primitive jungle.

When they stepped on the high platform, their feet were slightly sunk in the "black humus".

However, the black humus at the beginning was extremely dense, extremely viscous, and almost non-existent in fluidity, just barely reaching the insteps of the two of them.

Even if they stepped on the black humus and continued to advance, they didn't make the slightest ripple.

But now, the stickiness of the black humus is disappearing.

As the two moved, circles of ripples appeared in the black humus around their feet.

It was as if the black humus was slowly melting away from the three thousand years of sealing.
