The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 352 The Ruins
Standing in this radiant underground world of ice crystals, it took me a while to calm down. The layers of reflections stretched forward, making the road ahead of us shrouded in such a halo. Go, no heads at all.

I couldn't help feeling: "This place is so big, you made these mirrors?"

Naturally nodded.

This place is definitely not a project that can be completed by one person, so it should be built when Little Fusang had a lot of people. It seems that they will often come to this place.Thinking of the empty building of the little Fusang, I couldn't help wondering why the little Fusang was left alone in the end.What happened to the rest?Thinking of this, I tried to ask, but I didn't expect to be so natural that I couldn't keep silent this time, and he said bluntly: "They are all dead."

I said, "Why did you die?"

"Life and death, do you still need a reason?" He asked indifferently.

These words really almost got me involved, and it took me a while to react: "I mean, after a person dies, he always has offspring, right? Passed down from generation to generation, little Fusang should not only be left You are alive."

Naturally walked ahead in silence, the sound of footsteps kept a rhythm, just when I thought he would not answer my question, Naturally said: "There are no offspring."

No offspring?

What do you mean by that?Could it be that all the women in Little Fusang are dead?Or... men are all infertile?
I wanted to keep asking, but at this moment, he suddenly said two words: "Here we are." He stretched out his hand and pointed forward. My heart suddenly beat violently.

There is still a glacier ahead, but in that glacier, there are countless vegetation and tall tree shadows, and the branches of some trees even protrude from the glacier. The whole thing is like a specimen, maintaining a fresh posture.

Under the radiant light, the ice layer became transparent, and the vegetation, soil, and even some small animals inside the ice layer showed many phantoms under the wrapping of the black ice.This is an underground forest solidified by glaciers.

Although this phenomenon is rare, it is not without it. I have seen information about it when I was in school.The large glacial snow area we are in at the moment should be the product left over from the glacial period in the fourth season.

Glaciers can move. During the process of advancing, glaciers will destroy and cover a large area of ​​forests, vegetation, and animals. Most of the living things will be destroyed directly, but if a small part happens to be in the gap structure of glaciers, then they will be destroyed. can be preserved.

The glacial period in the fourth season is about 200 million to 300 million years ago. That is to say, this glacier and snow field have existed for millions of years, and the vegetation frozen in the ice layer in front of us is a hundred years old. Ancient creatures thousands of years ago.

Under the refracted light, these ancient creatures wrapped in ice still maintain the appearance of millions of years ago, with the same color and tall shape.I don't know much about the geography of the west millions of years ago, but judging from the height of these vegetation, the altitude of XZ at that time should not be so high, at least some tall trees could grow.

It is said that more than 7000 million years ago, the entire Himalayas was still a vast ocean. Archaeologists have dug a large number of fossils of marine organisms in the rock and soil layers of XZ long ago.

The orogenic movement dragged it out of the sea, raising the altitude of the Himalayas, the Kunlun Mountains, and the entire XZ by about 3000 meters.Obviously, a long time ago, there were virgin forests in the snow area, but it is difficult for people to see them today, and the ancient glacier remains in front of us are definitely biological specimens from the Pleistocene period. world and paleontology.

I couldn't speak for a while, I wished my eyes would grow all over my body, I walked forward in a daze, my eyes kept looking around, even in the ice under my feet, I could see frozen ferns The plants are lifelike and green in color, as if as long as the ice is broken, they will grow again.

The further I go, the more vegetation I can see. Due to the extrusion of the glacier, most of them are inclined in one direction, and the vegetation is very close to each other. Through them, I seem to be able to see A biological scene that flourished millions of years ago.

Gradually, among the vegetation, the shadows of some animals can still be vaguely seen. Most of these animals are very similar to modern animals. After all, 200 million years is not too long for the evolution of species. It's the difference in hair depth and body size. The only thing that surprised me was that I saw a saber-toothed tiger running for its life.

This thing is indeed a species of the Ice Age in the fourth season, but I thought it only lived in the southeast, but I didn't expect to find it in the west.

As soon as we walked, we walked hundreds of meters away. The ice layer on the top was still a reflector of ice crystals polished by human beings. The tall trees stretched all the way up to the depths of the ice layer, making it difficult to see its true face.

Thinking of the firewood in the stove hole, I couldn't help being surprised: "I said Xiaodai, the firewood you use for cooking is not chopped here, is it?" Before he could reply, I knew I had guessed right. Because on the ice wall on the left side in front of us, there appeared an ice cave that was obviously dug out by humans.

The ice cave extends straight into the frozen primeval forest. Outside the ice cave, there is a tree that has been cut down, placed there in a round shape.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, but in the end I couldn't calm down. I couldn't help pulling my hair and shouting: "You guys use the trees here to make fire! My God! Calm down, calm down! Let me tell you, little boy, this matter You must not shake your arms out, otherwise you will definitely make headlines in the news, and maybe even in history textbooks."

Tianran looked at me quietly, without speaking.

Seeing his uncommunicative and taciturn attitude, I felt powerless, sighed, and I said, "You said you want to collect herbs, but you mean to go to that cave?
He nodded.

I finally understood why Captain Zeng said that he had seen the forest. Although he lost many memories, this forest must have given him a great shock at that time, so he could never forget it.

Immediately afterwards, Tianrandai started to walk into the ice cave, and we stepped over the fallen tree at the entrance of the cave and entered the interior.

The interior of the ice cave is also polished with reflective surfaces, but it is relatively sparse, so the light is very dim. A lot of black ice inside has been chiseled to reveal some vegetation. I reached out to touch it and found that most of it was hard.If it is said that the medicines collected from natural medicine are in this forest, will those medicines still work?
The ice cave has seven bends and eight turns, and there are many forks, and the road opened in the ice layer allows people to travel freely in this underground forest.Xuanbing is a very strong thing. It is just a white mark when it is hammered down, and the people of Xiao Fusang can mine it into this appearance. There must be some secret weapon. It is probably natural and stupid to kill the beautiful snake Things are the same.

There is an old saying in China: Stones from other mountains can make jade.Jade is very brittle in nature, smooth and smooth, and it is difficult to start with small carvings, and it is difficult to make a big carving. Then the ancients discovered a kind of whetstone. Although the texture is soft, it happens to be the nemesis of jade. Jade culture.

Therefore, all things in this world, mutual generation and mutual restraint, no matter how powerful something is, there is always something that can clean it up.After a while, along the ice road, a huge ice cave that was mined appeared in front of our eyes.

The vegetation in the ice cave is full of vegetation, motionless and lifelike, as if it is still growing, but when you really walk into it, you can feel their stiffness.Naturally, he lowered his head to search, and pulled out the sickle at his waist, and began to search among the stiff vegetation.I asked him what he was looking for, and I helped him find it. He described it as a creature similar to a mushroom.

That kind of paleontology has high medicinal value, but I doubt that after being frozen for so long, it still has medicinal effect.That kind of fungus is hard to find, and it usually grows on the roots of plants. We have to bend down and turn our heads to find it slowly.

After searching for more than an hour, I couldn't find the medicine, but my waist seemed to be broken.Just when I stood up and moved my waist, I suddenly found that there was something hanging on a tree not far away. It was an obvious modern thing, and it was a laser pointer.

When I saw this thing, my first feeling was surprise, and then I realized that no outsiders had been to this place. If there were, then it was probably left by the Zeng team.

I walked over and took the laser pointer in my hand to look at it. It was cold and had already failed, and the rope was frozen hard.Naturally took a look, then said: "They left behind."

I said, "That expedition team has also been here before, right? They stayed in Little Fusang for a year?"

Narandai nodded, and said lightly: "I warned them to leave quickly, but they refused to leave and said they would stay and investigate."
