This seemed to be the first time Su Bai had seen so many veterans gathered together in the real world. Including the two Westerners, the seven local Yunnan veterans, himself, and the monk, there were already 11 veterans. It was only at the train station last time that such a large formation had gathered nearly a hundred veterans that they were able to beat this time.
Now that things had come to this, there was no need to be pretentious. However, what surprised Su Bai was that this time, there were really 11 veterans moving together. It seemed that they felt that this piece of cake was big enough for 11 people to share.
Or perhaps, there was another reason. They felt that the danger inside was big enough for 11 people to share.
One of the Yunnan listeners walked to the front of the mound, spread his hands, and slowly squatted down. His palms were firmly pressed against the ground.
"His name is Zhu Xunfei," the monk said to Su Bai.
"What enhancement?" Su Bai asked.
"You'll know when you see it."
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The ground began to tremble with an ear-piercing sound of friction. At the same time, dust began to rise slowly.
A crystal ball appeared in the hands of the maroon-haired Western woman. Streams of mist were immediately released, sucking away all the dust.
"This vacuum cleaner is not bad." Su Bai couldn't help but tease her. Then, he asked the monk, "Is it dangerous down there?"
"It shouldn't be very peaceful. After all, no one knows what's going on down there."
Clang!
In front of them, a 30-square-meter area with a thickness of about half a meter was forcibly moved away. When it landed, there was a violent tremor. In the place where it landed, there were some traces of a temple, such as a decayed altar and praying mat.
Zhu Xunfei wiped his sweat. It was obvious that moving such a large piece of soil was a rather strenuous task for him.
Shortly after, the chestnut-haired woman stepped forward and stood in the open space with her crystal ball in her hand. Streams of water flowed down like mercury in a strange gravitational and gluey manner. After landing on the ground, they began to seep through the cracks on the ground.
"Maria, a water magician," the monk said.
"So you're quite familiar with them. I used to think that Fatso was a social butterfly. Monk, you're not very innocent either," Su Bai said.
"It's all in the information. You're just too lazy to read it. The fire magician you killed was called Mina. However, Poor Monk has always been curious as to why you were also seriously injured when you fought yesterday. They shouldn't be your match."
"First, I was hit by the bald guy, and then I was eaten by the fire magician." Su Bai glanced at the bald man standing not far away. "With that guy's physical fitness, even if I show my blood line, I might only be able to fight him on equal footing."
"He is a barbarian." The monk explained, "At the end of the day, it's still a problem of two against one. If it's one against one, it's not a big problem, but two against one, it's obvious that you're at a disadvantage."
Su Bai reached out and touched his nose. "Hehe! I'm not trying to flatter myself. If it were one-on-one, I would've killed either of them, but the lineup of a warrior and a magician was too disgusting. Besides, my son was still in my hands at that time, so I suffered a sneak attack. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state."
"Alright, in the end, you're the one alive, and the fire magician is dead." At this point, the monk's eyes slightly narrowed. "If there's any conflict later, we have to cooperate well."
"Our tacit understanding goes without saying, right?"
The monk nodded, tacitly agreeing with Su Bai's words. Indeed, their tacit understanding did not need to be said.
In fact, with Su Bai's current strength, if he were to face an ordinary veteran one-on-one, it would basically be a one-sided situation. Unless he met someone as outstanding as Su Bai, for example, Yao Zhe was dragged into Erhai and beaten up by Su Bai. However, if there was a physical enhancer beside Yao Zhe to help him hold back Su Bai first, giving Yao Zhe, the warlock, more space to cast his spells, the situation would be pulled to a fifty-fifty. Even if Su Bai could win, it would only be a pyrrhic victory.
After all, veterans were veterans. No matter how weak they were, they were still veterans. They weren't easy to deal with unless they broke through to the Advanced Listener level. In that case, no matter how high one's upper limit was, it was still destined.
"Here, there's a Spirit Formation from your East. I need someone who understands Spirit Formations to come over," Maria said to the person standing outside.
The monk walked over. Under his feet, there was a complicated bright line that was filled with mercury.
After studying it for about five minutes, the monk immediately formed a seal with both hands and struck out a rune. A golden light appeared from the monk's palm and entered the ground. Then, with a "boom", a slanted groove appeared on the ground like a steel plate sliding down. The monk and Mary, who were standing on the spot, fell straight down.
Su Bai's gaze froze. He was puzzled by the monk's strange behavior when he fell down.
"There's an Array Restriction inside. Our strength will be weakened." At this moment, another old man who was about fifty years old and dressed in a traditional Chinese suit said, "But it should be harmless and non-aggressive. Let's go down."
After the old man in the traditional Chinese suit finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk over. When he stood on the slope, his entire body slid down. He even staggered and fell to the ground, sliding down in an extremely inelegant manner.
"Hehe." Su Bai laughed out loud at the side. Interesting, interesting. The audience, who was as powerful as a god, was actually in such a sorry state after his strength was suddenly weakened.
The others also went down one after another. When it was Su Bai's turn, Su Bai simply sat down and slid down. Indeed, as long as one was within three meters of the slope, they would be able to feel a terrifying gravitational force. The gravitational force was very strong and no one dared to go against it. Once they chose to resist, they would be going against the entire formation alone. By then, either the formation would be destroyed or they would be destroyed, and the possibility of the latter was higher.
The audience slid down one after another like dumplings. Below them, blue fireflies were floating around. They were reared by one of the audience members. At this moment, they could be used to light up the place. The brightness was comparable to incandescent lamps.
The monk's kasaya was a little dirty. At this time, he was gently patting his kasaya. When Su Bai slid down, the monk stretched out his hand and pulled Su Bai up.
Su Bai looked around and found that this should be a place similar to an altar. It should not be a cemetery, but a place used for worship.
As the fireflies continued to fly around, the environment here was generally seen clearly. There were human-shaped sculptures standing here. The space below was not too big, but it was not too small either. The specific area was about the same as a hall in the Forbidden City in Beijing.
"This is the front hall. There should be a back hall deeper," the old man in the traditional Chinese suit said.
Looking at the old man in the traditional Chinese suit's hand constantly rubbing the human-shaped sculptures, Su Bai whispered, "Why does this guy look like he used to flip upside down?"
"He's engaged in archaeological work," the monk explained. "His name is Tang Zhengguo."
"Country flip upside down." Su Bai shook his head. "This time, all the people who came are talents."
Su Bai couldn't help but look back. Where was Yao Zhe? Why didn't he come?
The human-shaped sculpture was slightly taller than an ordinary person, but it wasn't very majestic, nor was it very detailed. As the group continued walking, a flight of stairs leading downwards appeared in front of them. There were murals carved on each of the stairs, and the stairs were very tall, about half a meter per level.
The fireflies were evenly distributed on the steps, allowing people to clearly see the patterns on each step.
"It's about war." Su Bai looked at the murals and said. Yes, the content of the murals was about war, and it was different from the usual historical carvings of war. Normally, the carvings in a tomb would record some kind of war and the final victory. It was similar to the Monument to the People's Heroes, which was to commemorate and remember the great victory. However, the murals here showed the direction of the war. The locals lost, which meant that the people who built this altar lost in the face of a terrible foreign invasion, and their country was destroyed.
Tang Zhengguo was carefully observing the murals, obviously trying to figure out the meaning and the cultural information contained in them. The woman named Maria was also seriously trying to figure out the meaning and the cultural information contained in them. At a glance, one could tell that she was an expert.
"Even foreigners are so knowledgeable." Su Bai pursed his lips.
When Maria heard Su Bai's voice, she glanced at Su Bai and said solemnly, "Compared to you Chinese, we Westerners pay more attention to the preservation of history, culture, and cultural relics. Your Xixia civilization was discovered by the Russians, and many Western museums preserve your Eastern cultural relics. In fact, if these cultural relics were in your hands, they might have been destroyed a long time ago."
Su Bai shrugged and said, "Then tell me, female scholar from the West. What is depicted in these murals?"
Maria shook her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but the murals are too abstract. It's hard for me to distinguish them. What about you? Can you see anything?"
Su Bai jumped down two steps and carefully looked at the murals on the third step. Here, the murals depicted a picture of an army advancing with a giant dragon opening the way. There was also a road leading to the sky for the army to advance.
F * ck, so exaggerated. Let's go to the Magical Beast Contest.
But suddenly, Su Bai remembered the memory of the ancient vampire.
"This can't be the Qin army, right?" Su Bai said.
"That's right, it's the Qin army!" Tang Zhengguo seemed to have been roused by Su Bai's words and immediately said, "It makes sense, it makes sense. This is the record of the Qin Dynasty's General Wang Jian leading an army to destroy the Dian Kingdom!
The road leading to the sky in the murals is the historical Five Feet Road! "
PS: After Qin Shihuang unified China, in order to effectively control the counties established in Yelang, Dian, and other places, Qin Shihuang dispatched General Chang Ke to lead an army to build a road. This road is the historical Five Feet Road.
