Chapter 873 Dragon Slaying Mural
The passage hidden in the cave was obviously much smaller. Zhang Xuan rushed inside and felt that he could not raise his head completely, so he had to arch his waist and walk.
With Zhang Xuan's rapid raid, a sound of footsteps came from the front. This was the echo of Zhang Xuan's footsteps, which made Zhang Xuan understand that this cave was almost at the end.
Zhang Xuan slowed down and walked slowly forward. After passing a corner, Zhang Xuan saw a stone screen. In front of the screen, a three-legged copper tripod was placed. The copper tripod was half a person tall and was already rusted.
The moment Zhang Xuan saw this bronze tripod, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He slowly walked forward and did not look at the bronze tripod, but subconsciously turned his gaze to the inside of the bronze tripod.
There was empty above the bronze tripod. Inside the bronze tripod, Zhang Xuan saw a bloody top.
Zhang Xuan controlled the energy with his palm, reached into the bronze tripod, touched the bloody top, and then slowly lifted it up.
This is a piece of clothing from unknown age. It is made of animal skin. If Zhang Xuan had not been knowledgeable, he would have really not seen it. This is a top, and the blood on the clothes had already dried up and blended with the animal skin. Zhang Xuan sniffed his nose and did not smell any strange smell. The smell had long dissipated in the long river of time.
This animal skin top always gives Zhang Xuan an indescribable feeling. Moreover, it is unusual for a piece of animal skin to exist for so long and has not yet dried. Zhang Xuan folded the clothes and put them in his waist bag. Zhang Xuan didn't even look at the old and valuable copper tripod. He turned around and ran towards the stone hall, going to the next stone cave.
When Zhang Xuan left his mouth, this bronze tripod that was enough to make archaeologists crazy was placed quietly in the depths of the cave again.
After Zhang Xuan arrived at the stone hall, he did not stop at all and rushed directly to the passage on the right.
The moment Zhang Xuan rushed into the right passage, a strong tremor came from Zhang Xuan's feet. Zhang Xuan turned his head and saw that at the entrance of the stone cave on the right, pieces of gravel were falling from above and hitting the ground. The surrounding walls began to vibrate. A few seconds later, a huge rock that was tall and fell suddenly, completely sealing the hole behind Zhang Xuan!
Zhang Xuan stood here, looked for two seconds, and then walked towards the depths of the cave for the first time.
Above the huge rocks that blocked Zhang Xuan's entrance, a large area of quicksand slid down, covering the huge rocks. The cave on the left that Zhang Xuan had just entered did not change at all. It was just that from the stone hall, there were no longer two passages, but only one.
Zhang Xuan's retreat was completely blocked, and there was only one way forward. This time he was not too fast. Instead, every time he took a step, he would look at the stone walls on both sides of his body, and there were murals full of carved stone walls.
The murals are obscure, but after some analysis, you can understand them.
It took Zhang Xuan more than half an hour to look at the end of the right passage, and at the same time, he also finished reading all the murals.
The whole mural actually tells a very simple but hard to believe story, that is, a person holding a long sword and slaughtering a real dragon!
Such a warrior slaying the dragon, outside, is an ordinary legend, a little story about a child before bed, but it seems a bit weird if you draw it here.
No one dares to say when this cave existed, but according to the portrayal of the mural and the mysterious Loulan legend, no one has come in here for at least a thousand years. The entire cave is full of decay. The stone walls on both sides have cracked, and some stones have turned into gravel and fell to the ground under the long river of time.
It is such a stone cave that has never been in for a thousand years. There is a mural of a brave man slaying the dragon. Can you succeed? The legend of this dragon began a thousand years ago?
Or... a thousand years ago, the dragon was not a legend!
Zhang Xuan's eyes gradually moved away from the mural and looked forward, which was the end of the cave.
In general, these two caves are not big. After extending from the hall, it is only about three thousand meters deep. The really difficult section of the road is the section in front of the hall, full of mechanisms.
If Zhang Xuan had not understood Qi, he would have been very worried about those mechanisms. However, after understanding Qi, those would be nothing to him.
Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of what Ma Yi said to him at that time. He said that he would not have to be too nervous about the task. Could it be that Ma Yi had long known what [51 Novel www.51xs.info] looks like?
A stream of doubt filled Zhang Xuan's heart. Zhang Xuan thought that after going back this time, he must ask Ma Yi clearly. Now, let's solve the current situation first.
In front of the cave, there is a seat with a large seat, just like the place where the bandit king sat in the TV series. There is a piece of animal skin on the huge stone chair, but this piece is not as intact as the one in Zhang Xuan's waist bag, but has long been decayed. If you look closely, you can see some dead insects from the edge of the skin.
Behind the seat, there was a red cloak. The cloak was also made of animal skin, which was made of the same material as the top in Zhang Xuan's waist bag. Zhang Xuan could not tell which kind of beast this skin came from. The cloak was as blood stained, and blood penetrated into the animal skin, blending into the animal skin. On the right side of the stone mount below the animal skin, there was a broken sword leaning against only the hilt of the sword, and the sword body was less than twenty centimeters.
Zhang Xuan walked over, squatted down, and observed. The hilt of the sword was made of bronze and covered with copper rust. Zhang Xuan could not tell the material of the sword body. It was neither iron nor steel. It was a kind of metal that Zhang Xuan had never seen before.
Zhang Xuan reached his hand to the hilt of the sword. As soon as he picked up the broken sword, he heard a "crunch" sound. The moment he heard this light sound, Zhang Xuan thought to himself that something was wrong.
As the sound came out, the entire cave began to shake violently. Large pieces of gravel fell from above Zhang Xuan's head, and the stones hit the ground, splitting and splashing everywhere.
The falling stones formed one gap after another, and a large amount of quicksand slid down from the gap and buried into the cave.
As the cave continued to shake, more stones fell, and the three-kilometer-long passage collapsed. Quicksand continued to be buried from above, and in a blink of an eye, it disappeared Zhang Xuan's calves.
Zhang Xuan stopped hesitating, picked up the broken sword with one hand, grabbed the red cloak above the stone pedestal with the other, and then jumped hard and rushed upwards.
In the desolate desert, there is endless view, yellow sand is everywhere, and it shows desolation.
Suddenly, a head emerged from the yellow sand.
