Chapter 152 - Altar Relief
It is different from Chen Yun's guess. The huge monster that appears in front of us is neither a dinosaur nor any creature known to humans. It is a giant monster similar to a wolf but with a single horn on its head.
This thing has very strong, developed limbs, and is as big as a pile of hills. The scarlet pupils are full of anger. They run to the altar and rush forward, pushing down several stone sculptures. The front paws are irritated on the altar, leaving deep scratches. The stone platform made of bluestone is as fragile as tofu under his minions.
"So big..." Ge Zhuang was deeply shocked, covering his mouth with his hands, but couldn't help but whisper, "What kind of monster is this? Why does he look like an elephant?"
In fact, the monster's size has surpassed that of an ordinary elephant, and it is nearly ten meters long! Unlike the stupid elephant, the bones of this thing are very thick, enough to support its huge body shape, and move very quickly. He jumps up and down in the stone Taichung, just like a cat playing.
However, from the manic eyes that the monster inadvertently showed, I could feel the anger hidden deep in its heart. It kept attacking the stone platform and even stepped on the stone trough filled with tung oil with its claws, which should have been stimulated by the fire.
The wild beast is naturally afraid of fire, and this monster is no exception. It seems to be full of strong hatred for these flames. It tries every means to slash the light source. The entire altar was rushed straight by it, knocking down a piece of it, and even the bluestone bricks under its feet were stomped down, causing a turbid mud.
A few of us were lying on the edge of the fossil rainforest. Seeing the monster destroying everything on the stone platform, we felt quite frightened. We only hoped that the beast would be able to leave as soon as possible after extinguishing the flames.
Looking at the movement of the monster, I am afraid that there will be no way to wipe out all the flames for a while. The tung oil is very flammable. Although it is not as ignited, it can still burn for a long time after it is ignited. Our location is closer to the monster, for fear of being affected, so I quickly put away the cold light stick, slapped Chen Yun and others, and led everyone to lurking along the side to a relatively complete platform on the right.
In addition to the altar directly ahead that was being destroyed by monsters, we found another huge stone platform in front of the rainforest. There were no steps or statues, very flat and smooth, and we didn't know what it was for. So everyone hugged and walked towards the stone platform, and their eyes narrowed. Through the light scattered from the jungle, I found that under the stone platform, there were many giant vines growing, densely intertwined, blocking most of the stone platform.
These vines are all living things. When you pinch them with your hands, the touch is very cold and the branches and leaves are relatively soft. We took out the equipment from the mountaineering bag and piled it behind the platform. Chen Yun looked curious and leaned over to the artificial carving marks on the platform. The four squares and four straights were quite neat, but they were covered with dark green moss, covering all the patterns below.
I heard Xiao Zhang ask Chen Yun, "I don't know if this kind of stone platform is related to the ancient Yelang site. If it is related, they built this kind of stone platform, but I don't know what it is for."
Ge Zhuang said, "Even a blind man can see that the stone here is matched with the altar just now. The one on the other was used by the ancient Yelang people to worship the gods. It is likely that this one is used to worship the gods. There may be a clear weapon, and let the fat master find out the details!"
As he said that, Ge Zhuang pulled out the engineer shovel, installed the extended lever behind it, and faced the green vine carp shovel on the platform. Seeing that he was rash and scattered, we had to stay aside and pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time.
The engineer shovel with the blade was very sharp and easier to cut than before. Ge Zhuang was quick to remove all the green vines wrapped around the stone platform. He saw that there was no hidden buckle on the stone platform, but there were many relief characters located in the same order, which was very complex.
When Ge Zhuang saw the text above, he couldn't understand it, so he had to look back at Xiao Zhang, "Do you recognize it?" Xiao Zhang leaned over and looked at it, saying that he didn't recognize it. These should not belong to the text, but some kind of symbolic mark for sacrifice, and they did not have much practical significance.
Mingqi entered in front of him, a trace of ferocity flashed in Ge Zhuang's eyes, saying that since you all felt it was useless, Fatty Master shoveled it off and continued to dig it. As he said that he was about to take action. Chen Yun quickly stopped him and said, "Slow down, why are you in a hurry?" These relief patterns may be useful, and you must take them back for research before you can know. If you dodge, at least let me take a few photos first."
I said you are stupid. Not far away is the monster. This thing is so sensitive to light. Isn’t it like you can tell it that we are here?
I was also secretly anxious. We have been in the petrochemical rainforest for a long time. Until now, we have not found any decent clues. The people from Rand Company didn't know where they went, for fear that the baby would be taken first.
From the terrain, we should be close to the center of this petrified rainforest. If we can't even find clues here, we may be destined to return in vain. We don't know how many giant beasts are hidden in this forest. If we stay for one more second, we must bear more risks.
I can only hope that everyone can find valuable clues in these altars. If they can find them, they can still take a chance and continue to take risks. If they really can't find them, they can only consider retreating.
When my mind changed, Chen Yun suddenly said, "These reliefs should be protected intact, and there are many vacant places on it. In my opinion, since we can find two altars, we might find the third one. Why don't we scatter and look for it nearby?"
Ge Zhuang said you think it was simple. That big monster is still struggling with the altar. Now that it has spread out and looks for such relief patterns, wouldn’t everyone be in line to seek death?
Chen Yun thought for a while and said, "Then let's kill this monster!" I shook my heart when I heard this, and said with a wry smile, "It's simple to say, this monster is so big, how can I kill him? I'm afraid that adding you and me is not enough to make people's teeth. Only a fat man's figure can make it chew a bite or two."
Ge Zhuang's face turned blue with anger, "I'll go, your uncle, when is the time for the little pumpkin? Can you stop squeezing me? The big girl is right. This thing is blocking the front, a stubborn stone that blocks the torrent of history. Fatty Master will not pull it out first, and he will feel unhappy!"
I said fat man, what are your good ideas?
Ge Zhuang's eyes rolled and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Knowledge is power, and you don't think about it carefully. How did our human ancestors spread seeds in such harsh environments and jointly create the next generation? They can only take advantage of this kind of monster, not fight hard. Lao Zhong, do you still have any? Fat Master thought of a solution!"
