Chapter 145 Human figurines

Just then, a blue light flashed in front of me. Ye Lingwen had already released a flying knife and shot towards the man on the left stone wall. However, the blue light shot from the man's right chest and then came out from the opposite side, and then returned to Ye Lingwen's hand. At the same time, we also retreated repeatedly to prevent accidents, but after waiting for a while, the person on the stone wall was silent.

"I'll try again." Ye Guangci said, and released a flying knife and shot it at the man on the right side of the stone wall. The flying knife shot from his chest into his back and then returned to Ye Guangci's hand. The man, like the man on the left side of the stone wall, had no reaction.

"It should be a statue," I asked with a sigh of relief.

"If it's a statue, it's too similar." Ye Guangci put away the flying knife and walked forward. Ye Lingwen and I followed immediately.

We walked carefully to the glow stick, and I raised my flashlight to shine on both sides, and fucked it! It was indeed a stone carving, which scared me half to death. I carefully observed the stone carvings on both sides. The stone carving stood on a stone strip protruding from the stone wall. It might have been designed when the passage was dug, and it was left specifically for the placement of these statues.

Judging from the clothes, the two stone sculptures looked like soldiers, holding long halberds, wearing long robes and short tops, with armor covered with pieces. One person wore a headscarf made of linen cloth on his head, and the other person wore a plate-shaped hat made of leather or something.

I pointed the statue on the left with a flashlight, and saw that it looked about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall. My legs were slightly bent and stood on the stone strip, holding a long halberd, standing with round eyes, the muscles between the eyebrows were twisted into lumps, the lips were raised, and the Hu Jiao curled up, and the heart seemed to be filled with anger. The expression was really very realistic, and the wrinkles on the face and the corners of the eyes could be clearly seen. No wonder Ye Guangci didn't tell the truth for a while. I had to admire the superb skills of ancient craftsmen.

He had already stabbed a hole in his chest by Ye Guangci's flying knife. I walked closer and saw that the statue did not seem to be carved from stone, but it looked like a fired pottery figurine. From the hole in front of his chest, we can see that the shell of the statue was a layer of pottery. There were stones everywhere here, and it was not necessary to burn pottery figurines. It seemed unreasonable. A lot of clay mud was used to burn pottery figurines. There were no such things nearby. Why should we look far away? I was puzzled and wanted to break a piece of pottery from the hole in front of the statue's chest, so I reached into my two fingers.

I broke it hard. Maybe it was because it was too old. Coupled with the humid environment in the cave, the entire statue suddenly broke and the pottery pieces fell all over the ground. When I looked up, I couldn't help but scream. It turned out that after the shell of the pottery fell off, there was a full-body carbonized mummy. The whole body was charred and I couldn't even see the outline clearly. I could only barely see it as a personal figure. This is so scary! This statue was actually made of a living person! I was not mentally prepared at all, and I was so scared that I retreated. Ye Lingwen and Ye Guangci were also shocked!

After a moment, everything around us was as usual and there was no other change. We were slightly calmer.

"Isn't this a living person burned??" Ye Lingwen asked in a trembling voice.

Ye Guangci looked at the statues on both sides of the passage and said, "It shouldn't be! If a living person sealed it with mud, the statue could not have such an expression, and it would be even more unlikely to have such a posture. No matter how these people died, it should have been made into human figurines after death! Maybe these people were dead slaves in the construction of this project. After they died, they used their bodies to make such human figurines and let them guard this place forever, which is also a commemoration for them."

After Ye Guangci finished speaking, he saw that Ye Lingwen and I were still frightened and no one spoke. Then he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! What's the scary thing about dead people? Only living people are scary! The figure on the left seemed to move for a moment, and I thought they were living people. Okay! Let's continue to move forward."

Ye Guangci's words made me feel moved and I felt a little uneasy!

Ye Lingwen and I followed Ye Guangci and were about to continue walking forward. At this moment, the light from the flashlight in my hand accidentally swept across the figure on the right. I saw that the figure seemed to have turned slightly. If Ye Guangci had not reminded me just now, I would have thought that I had read it wrong! My heart trembled suddenly, and I suddenly remembered that the four statues on the stone city wall also turned slightly, and then the arrow fell like snow.

I grabbed Ye Lingwen in front and pulled him back suddenly, and shouted to Ye Guangci, "Go back! Go back! Brother Ye retreat!"

It was pitch black around me. Before I could finish my shouting, I heard the sound of breaking through the air. Then the arrow hit the crisp sound of the stone. I pulled Ye Lingwen and rolled and crawled back to death. I didn't know if Ye Guangci had withdrawn in time.

"Ah!" Ye Guangci shouted from behind, and I suddenly felt something was wrong. He might have been shot.

After a while, no sound could be heard. I quickly turned around and walked back. I shone the flashlight and saw Ye Guangci lying on the stone steps below, with his headlight falling aside, two arrows inserted into his backpack, and an arrow was shot on his calf, and many arrows were scattered on the stone steps next to him.

Ye Lingwen quickly helped Ye Guangci up and leaned against the stone wall.

"I was hit by an arrow in my calf. Take out the Yunnan Baiyao and gauze in my bag. Qingyang, burn my knife with fire to disinfect it, and then dig out the arrows." Ye Guangci said intermittently.

It is not difficult for me to take the arrow! After all, I am a student and have done similar animal experiments before, but if I don’t use anesthetics, I am really worried that Ye Guangci would not be able to bear it, and that would not be much better than Guan Yun’s scraping of bones.

"Hurry up! If you don't pull it out, you will lose more and more blood!!" Ye Guangci suddenly roared.

I also realized that I had to seize the time, so I took out a towel from my backpack and said to him: "Bite the towel, you have to hold it back!"

Ye Lingwen used the tail flame of her flying knife to roast Ye Guangci's flying knife, and then handed it to me. I took the flying knife and felt her hands trembling.

Ye Lingwen shone a light on me with a flashlight. I cut Ye Guangci's wound with a knife. The arrow was bronze, about one finger wide, and it looked like four or five centimeters of shot into the flesh. It was already deep and bones could be seen. Fortunately, it did not hurt the blood vessels, and there were barbs on both sides of the arrow, so the arrow could not be taken out directly, so I could only continue to expand the wound.

Ye Guangci bit the towel and let out a dull roar. I just felt that I didn't hear it. When I took out the arrow, I was already sweating profusely.

Ye Guangci frowned and his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. I quickly sprinkled Yunnan white medicine powder on the wound, and then bandaged him with gauze to stop the blood. Ye Guangci may have been too exhausted, so he fell asleep against the stone wall after drinking a few sips of water.

"Let him sleep for a while! The front of him is full of human figurines and mechanisms, which are temporarily unacceptable. We have to think of a perfect solution." I said softly to Ye Lingwen.

Ye Lingwen nodded without saying a word.

Now I have to think carefully about how to pass this secret passage of the organ, otherwise we will have to turn around and fail.

I sat in the dark secret passage, thinking hard about how I could pass through the mechanism ahead.
Chapter completed!
