Chapter 96 Contains a Mystery
In other words, they can name that unknown creature now?
"There should still be many of these unknown creatures within the ruins."
Zhang Changgong couldn't help but look at the dark passage.
Since there is such an unknown creature in that passage, it is obvious that there must be many more such creatures hiding in the ruins.
There are even more outrageous unknown creatures.
In any case, Zhang Changgong did not believe that an unknown creature that could be easily dealt with by a mechanical dog could stop the exploration of so many dinosaur people from the healing faction.
"Shouldn't we give this thing a name?"
Han Bei stared at the creature on the ground, then looked at Su Yang.
"How's the dragon puppet?"
Su Yang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"My first impression of this creature was that it was like a controlled puppet. Then, it evolved from dinosaurs, so 'dragon puppet' is easier to remember."
"Dragon Puppet".
Upon hearing this, Han Bei suddenly felt that it was quite suitable.
"By the way, Shaman. You just said that dragon golems hunt at night?"
Han Bei couldn't help but look at Alan.
Allen was slightly taken aback when he heard the other party's name for the creature.
He then nodded.
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean there are actually other entrances to this site?"
"Not necessarily, maybe it'll be like a zombie?"
Su Yang said with a smile.
Anyway, he was just saying it casually. Although there were rumors of zombies within the Great Xia territory.
But he hasn't seen any evidence yet that zombies actually exist.
So Su Yang could only look at that thing, unlike the Dragon Puppet.
It was a real person who appeared in front of him.
However, Han Bei's words did indeed inspire Su Yang.
They really don't know the specifics of the interior of this site, or whether there are other entrances.
They didn't know either.
If there is one, given how well hidden the entrance is in front of them, it would be quite difficult for them to find it in a short time.
Meanwhile, Zhang Changgong had already thrown Alpha back into the ruins passage.
Unlike before.
This time, oil lamps were neatly lit on both sides of the tunnel wall.
"I remember, when we first started, there weren't any oil lamps lit?"
Han Bei saw that the oil lamps on both sides of the passageway were burning in an orderly fashion, their flickering flames faintly illuminating the passage.
He vaguely remembered that when he first broke through the stone wall.
There were no oil lamps in that passageway. Or rather, there were oil lamps, but no firelight.
Do you know about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?
Su Yang remained calm and spoke.
Han Bei responded with a sound of agreement.
Su Yang continued, "There is a legend about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum that the First Emperor used shark oil to make an ever-burning lamp that could burn for a thousand years."
"I think I vaguely remember it."
Upon hearing this, Han Bei pondered for a moment, then became somewhat puzzled. "Wasn't it said to be a legend?"
I do seem to have heard of this saying before.
"The prevailing view is that it's caused by the spontaneous combustion of white phosphorus upon contact with air. However, there are indeed methods to prolong the burning time, such as using a double wick."
Su Yang stared at the flames and said.
"Moreover, Velen should have led people into this site, so it's not particularly unusual for an oil lamp to spontaneously combust."
Seeing this, Han Bei was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say anything more.
Zhang Changgong, meanwhile, remotely controlled Alpha to carry out a number of skeletons from the first open space he entered through the tunnel.
"There are indeed dead things inside these ruins."
Looking at the large pile of bones on the ground, Zhang Changgong couldn't help but frown.
Then he looked at Su Yang and asked, "Can you put this thing back together?"
"I'll give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang took protective measures and began to piece the parts together using tools.
Although he didn't know what kind of creature those bones were from.
But his inner speculation made him unconsciously connect it to dinosaur people and dragon puppets.
After more than ten minutes of assembly, Su Yang roughly pieced together a complete skeleton.
However, the skeleton was missing the crucial head.
During this time, Alpha dragged out a number of skeletons from the passage one after another.
Looking at the pieced-together skeleton, missing its skull, Su Yang couldn't help but frown.
It is now possible to determine that the owner of these skeletons was a dinosaur-man.
But where did the heads go?
After piecing it together for so long, Alpha has made several trips back and forth, bringing out a lot of bones, but not a single skull.
This left Su Yang somewhat puzzled.
Even if the number of other bones is small, there is still some, but this skull is the only one that is missing.
So far, he hasn't met a single one.
"Is it a Xingtian?"
Han Bei was slightly surprised.
"What Xingtian? It's just that his skull is missing."
Zhang Changgong couldn't help but retort, while also looking completely puzzled.
From the images transmitted by Alpha, it seemed he had never actually seen a skull.
He wondered where those skulls had gone.
Could it be that the dragon puppet hid it?
That shouldn't be the case. Why would a low-intelligence creature like a dragon puppet hide its skull?
"Should we go in?"
Han Bei couldn't help but speak up.
They currently only know a tiny bit about what's inside the ruins, and perhaps the place Alpha has reached can't even be called the interior of the ruins.
It was merely an external passageway leading to the ruins.
"Let's use Alpha to test the waters first."
Zhang Changgong rubbed his temples, looking somewhat wistful.
Seeing this, Su Yang merely frowned slightly and remained silent.
After all, Zhang Changgong was doing it for their own good.
People learn from their mistakes. When faced with the same situation again, they will inevitably become more cautious.
However, using Alpha for exploration is still somewhat slow.
Lin Changdong piloted the Alpha, venturing deeper into the passageway.
Finally, the image transmitted by Alpha suddenly brightened from pitch black.
A very spacious and empty cave suddenly appeared before them.
On the ceiling of the cave, some kind of unidentified crystal was emitting a bright light.
Upon seeing this, Su Yang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then unconsciously moved a little closer.
"There are even glowing crystals in there?"
Han Bei exclaimed in surprise.
Judging from the images transmitted by Alpha, the luminous objects are unidentified crystals growing on the top of the cave.
Seeing this, Zhang Changgong signaled to Lin Changdong to control Alpha and continue deeper.
A pyramid suddenly appeared in the picture.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
No one expected that there was a hidden secret within this cave.
It's even a pyramid.
Currently, apart from the pyramids that have survived from ancient Egypt and the pyramids left by the Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula, there are other pyramids.
It would be difficult to find another pyramid on Earth that is more famous.
