Chapter 773: Fossil Riverbed
"What did you find?"
After meeting at the appointment, Peng Bin said the first sentence he asked when he saw Fang Yi, but the answer he got was the same as in the previous ten days. Apart from some of the words copied on paper, Fang Yi had no gains today.
It has been almost twenty days since I entered this space. Peng Bin and Fang Yi and Long Wanda have expanded the search space. Each of them is responsible for a piece of land and repeats the work of searching for available things in their respective areas every day.
As the search deepened, they found more and more things, but most of them were pottery that were rough and useless, as well as some metalware that had not yet been completely decayed. In terms of shape, they should be the tools used by residents here to cultivate.
"Old Long, where are you?" Peng Bin looked at Long Wanda.
"This is for you..."
Long Wangda handed Peng Bin a few papers full of text and said, "I found a stone tablet at the entrance of a village. The text on it is here. In addition, I also found a chassis. The dead are the most important. I did not dig their graves, but I copied some of the text on the tombstones..."
"Gravestor?"
Hearing Long Wanda's words, Peng Bin was a little moved, and he glanced at Fang Yi and said, "Brother, should we go and have a look? Maybe there is something good inside? This ancient man liked to put treasures in his tomb..."
Peng Bin, who had visited the Mayan civilization, knew that the grand funeral after death was not only in China, but also in almost all ancient civilizations in the world, such as the pyramids in ancient Egypt, which were actually the tombs of the pharaohs, and there were often extremely rich burial objects placed inside.
The most famous of them is naturally the Tomb of Tutkamon, a young Egyptian pharaoh more than 3,300 years ago. He once managed a huge empire on the throne of the Golden Eagle. After opening Tutkamon's tomb, the archaeological team took three years to move out all the treasures inside.
So when he heard the word "Multiculous Grave", Peng Bin's eyes lit up. When he was pursuing the Mayan civilization, he followed an expedition team and didn't know how many tombs from that period had been excavated. He was familiar with this job.
"Brother, let's forget it. Lao Long is right. The dead are the most important. Besides, there may not be anything good in it..."
After more than ten days of search, Fang Yi found that the area they were in these days should be lived by some poor families. Judging from the size of the house and the layout inside, these are not big families.
"Okay, this place is very weird, so I won't dig their tombs."
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin shrugged. They had been discussing what Fang Yi said in the past few days. Peng Bin also felt like these people who almost emptied their homes when they left, and they were afraid that there would not be many burial objects after their death.
"Or why we start searching deeper..."
Fang Yi and his friends searched for more than ten days were all the outer periphery of this giant city. According to Fang Yi's analysis, the closer they were to the mountain, the more noble the person living there was, because the closer they were to the mountain, the larger the area of those stone houses.
"Okay, there's nothing outside."
Peng Bin nodded repeatedly when he heard this. If he followed his wishes, he would just climb the mountain and search for the buildings in the mountains. In Peng Bin's opinion, it should be the residence of the gods on the stone murals, and maybe there would be some treasures hidden inside.
"Let's go, let's not disperse, let's go inside and take a look!" Peng Bin had been unable to hold back for a long time and was walking towards the place close to the mountains.
"Well? Where is this? Why is there a deep ditch?" After walking more than a mile, Peng Bin suddenly found that the road ahead had been broken. A deep ditch that was hundreds of meters wide appeared in front of several people, blocking their way forward.
"This is not a gulf..." Long Wanda stood up and looked down, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"What's not a gulf?" Peng Bin looked left and right and said, "This gulf is useless. You can climb down on both sides and then climb up from the opposite side!"
For ordinary people, this gap is no less than a natural chasm. It is difficult for ordinary people to pass through without climbing tools. However, in front of Fang Yi, Peng Bin and Long Wanda, although this natural chasm will cause some trouble to them, it is not impossible to pass.
"It was supposed to be a big river here..." Long Wanda pointed at the bottom and sides of the gulf with his fingers and said, "Look at what those below look like?"
Fang Yi and Peng Bin looked in the sound and saw that at the bottom of the gulf pointed to by Long Wanda, there was almost no flat place, with bumpy and irregularly stacked stones everywhere, but compared with the stones above, the colors of those stones were a little dim and looked very different.
"Those stones are a bit like limestone..." Peng Bin looked for a long time and expressed his thoughts.
"It's not limestone, those should be fossils..."
Long Wanda said in a positive tone that when he was in charge of liberal arts education in Thailand, he did not just name it, but did a lot of in-depth work and had done a lot of in-depth research on fossils. In Long Wanda's private museum, there are many biological fossils from various periods.
"Fossil?" Peng Bin and Fang Yi were stunned for a moment. Wouldn't this mean that the river has dried up for at least tens of thousands of years, so the time for this giant city to exist will be more than tens of thousands of years.
"Grandma, just go down and take a look..." Peng Bin was impatient and crawled down with his hands and feet. When he was standing at the bottom on a big rock and looking around, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Due to the light, I didn’t see the scene below clearly when I stood on the top, but after I went to the bottom, Peng Bin clearly saw that many fish of different shapes could be seen on the layers of stones. Long Wanda was right, this place was indeed a calcified or mineralized riverbed.
"How could a river so wide and deep dry?"
Looking at the various fish fossils under his feet, Peng Bin looked incredible. Peng Bin was just surprised by this, but if a paleontologist had been standing in this place, he would have been ecstatic.
"Brother, all the plant organisms in this space can disappear. What's so strange about the river water drying up?" Fang Yi, who had just stepped down on the riverbed, pointed to Peng Bin's feet and said, "I think you'd still care about what's under your feet, right?"
"Under my feet? There's nothing..."
Peng Bin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, lowered his head and looked at his feet, but found nothing special. This was a large stone about seven or eight meters long, with a gray body on it. Peng Bin just saw that the stone was very huge and fell on it.
"Stand here and take a look..." Fang Yi said with a smile.
"Damn, this...what is this?"
Peng Bin jumped to the position where Fang Yi was standing, and then turned around to look at the place where he had just settled. He was shocked because he saw that the huge stone seven or eight meters was actually a monster fossil.
The reason why it is called a monster is that Peng Bin has never seen a species of this shape. This monster's head is seven or eight meters long. On both sides of its head, there are big frog-like eyes, and underneath it is a bloody mouth.
The monster's mouth was covered with sharp teeth as long as adult arms, densely intertwined together, which made people look intimidated. Peng Bin believed that the overlord great white shark in the sea could only be swallowed and filled in front of such a monster.
The monster's entire head has become a fossil. Its body stretched out along the riverbed for thirty or forty meters. It mixed with the silt of the riverbed and turned into a fossil. There seemed to be claws under its head, which means that this monster can not only move in the water, but may also survive on land.
"Grandma, what the hell is this? There is such a monster in the river. Can't you eat people in the city?" Looking at this lifelike monster, Peng Bin couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. He could imagine what kind of storm this monster could stir up in the river in endless years.
"It's a little wrong..."
Fang Yi jumped to the monster's head, his eyes shot out a ray of light, and his right hand suddenly grabbed the bottom of the monster's head. The calcified fossils broke in Fang Yi's hand like powder. A metal ring with a diameter of about ten centimeters was grabbed in Fang Yi's palm.
"Get up!" Feeling that the metal ring seemed to be rooted under the riverbed, Fang Yi failed to lift it up with force. A loud shout came from his mouth, and Fang Yi used all his strength.
"This...is a chain..."
Peng Bin, who was standing next to him, saw it clearly. Amid Fang Yi's loud shout, four or five metal rings were pulled out from Fang Yi's feet, which were linked to the ring in Fang Yi's hand. It was clearly a chain wrapped around the monster's neck.
"Brother, Lao Long, come here quickly to help. This thing is too heavy and I can't pull it anymore!"
Fang Yi used all his strength and only pulled out four or five metal rings. At this time, he felt as if his whole body was out of force. The metal ring that was originally half a meter high was pulled up and fell on the riverbed.
"I'll try..."
Long Wanda stood a little further away, Peng Bin jumped over first, lifted it with his hand, and a trace of shock appeared on his face. The metal ring made of unknown material actually exceeded 100 kilograms per piece, and it felt heavy when held in his hand.
"Look at me!" Peng Bin also shouted loudly. He lifted the metal ring up with his hands, and the metal ring buried under the calcified riverbed was immediately pulled out seven or eight more times.
"No, Lao Long, come and try it."
In terms of strength alone, after practicing the body refining technique, Peng Bin was actually a little stronger than Fang Yi, but after pulling out seven or eight metal rings, Peng Bin felt powerless and could only let go of his hand.
Long Wanda's kung fu is more about yoga techniques from ancient India. He has a high degree of tolerance for harsh environments, but his strength is not his strength. Long Wanda only pulled out two chains and stopped.
"I'll try again..." Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the one buried at the edge of the metal ring under the riverbed, and lifted it up hard again. The calcified sludge on it broke one after another, and four or five metal rings were pulled out by him.
"This...this iron chain seems to be locked on the monster's head."
After pulling up more than twenty metal rings, several people could already see that these metal rings were linked together, forming a metal chain that was put on the monster's head. However, after endless years, the metal chain was covered by calcified mud.
"This monster is raised!"
Touching the metal ring made of unknown material, Fang Yi said, "With the control of this metal ring, the monster may not be able to get out of this big river at all, and it died here, perhaps because of the metal ring..."
"Who can subdue such a monster?"
As soon as Peng Bin said, he realized that he had said something stupid. The siege monsters appearing on the stone mural are much more powerful than this monster. They were also repelled or killed by humans as powerful as gods.
"Brother, this metal chain is a treasure!" Fang Yi didn't have that much curiosity. His eyes were always on the metal chain. Since entering the giant city, this was the first time Fang Yi has seen a metal that is completely decayed.
I don’t know if it is because of its special material or because it is buried under the fossil, although this metal chain is dark all over, there is no trace of rust. Touching it with your hands is similar to touching the copper and iron outside, it is hard and heavy.
"Yes, I've been buried here for so long and I haven't even rust at all. I'm indeed a treasure."
Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin's eyes couldn't help but lit up, but Peng Bin immediately sighed and said, "So what if it's a baby? This thing is so heavy, we two can only carry three or four of them at most. Besides, these things are all connected together, and we can't remove them..."
"I'll try..."
Fang Yi thought for a moment, and took out the short blade that Peng Bin gave him with his wrist. This short blade was made by Peng Bin with a meteorite outside the sky, and it was the sharpest weapon Fang Yi had ever seen. Fang Yi had tried it before. No matter what alloy it was, he could really cut iron like mud when Fang Yi instilled his true energy.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yi instilled his true energy onto the short blade. At the blade of the short blade, a trace of the knife light flashed. At the metal ring under him, Fang Yi slashed with a knife. The sword light flashed, and a "double" sound came into the ears of Peng Bin and others.
"Not broken?"
Peng Bin's eyes looked at the place where the metal ring was chopped down, and found that the metal ring was still the same, and there was no trace of trace in the position that was cut. But when Peng Bin looked at Fang Yi, he saw that Fang Yi had a bitter face.
"Brother, this blade has been broken..." Fang Yi raised the short blade in his hand, and his face was full of regret. He used this weapon very easily, but now a hole the size of a rice grain was broken at the sharp blade.
