Chapter 1317

Everyone was stunned by the huge statue in front of them. Long Tianci traveled all over the world to see many things, but it was the first time to see such a huge statue, not to mention PI San and others. From the expression on their faces, we can see that these guys were shocked by the existence of the statue.

Stunned for a long time, long Tianci turned his head and looked at the stairs on the side. Then he opened his mouth and said to the people, "let's go down and have a look. The distance here is too far. We can't see anything clearly!"

Hearing the words of long Tianci, the others nodded, and then they walked down the stairs. However, these stairs are wooden structures similar to the plank road, which are weathered and corroded all year round and are not very strong, so they walked very carefully. It can be said that they are camping step by step!

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone finally reached the ground safely and stood at the foot of the huge statue. Everyone looked up at the statue again. Although it was far away before, it was not as intuitive as now. Looking at the huge statue in front of us, everyone felt that they had become as small as ants, That kind of heartfelt shock is definitely beyond words.

Looking up at the Colossus for a while, long Tianci said with a strange expression: "if this statue is really carved completely by hand on the cave wall, it's really uncanny. How many people will be used for such a big project?"

"... Lord long, did you say that the inner city where we were used to hold craftsmen? The gatehouse was set up to prevent craftsmen from escaping?" Pisan suddenly showed a thoughtful expression after hearing the words of the Dragon God, and then said!

"Well... Your analysis is very likely. From the scale of the city, it should be able to live nearly 10000 people at most, and such a large project can't be completed without 18000 craftsmen." long Tianci agreed with PI San's analysis and nodded!

"Hey, hey ~! You see, the left foot of the statue seems to be an entrance. Is it empty in the statue?" long Kui ran to the foot of the statue when others chatted, and then found a hole like an entrance, so he turned back and shouted to the people!

Hearing the cry of long Kui, everyone turned around and looked at it. There was really a hole in the thumb of the statue's left foot. It seemed that it should be an entrance to the inside of the statue.

Is such a big statue hollow? What is the inside of the statue? What is the hollow statue for?

Out of curiosity, long Tianci took the people into the statue from the entrance of the toe of the statue. There is a channel in the entrance. Three or four people can walk horizontally. The longitudinal direction is not very deep, that is, more than ten steps to a very wide place!

The inside of the statue is particularly black. Although long Tianci holds a torch, the bright coverage area of the torch is very limited and can not illuminate the whole space. Long Tianci takes the people all the way in, and then comes to a wall. With the help of the lighting of the torch in his hand, long Tianci and others see that there is a strange object in the shape of a conch embedded in the wall.

Out of curiosity about this thing, long Tianci brought the torch close to this thing to see clearly. Who knows that a Mars on the torch fell into the cavity of the conch shaped object. At the moment when Mars entered the interior of this thing, a flame was burning in this thing.

There are many small holes in the surface of the whole conch like object. After the flame is ignited, flames emerge from these holes, and these flames start to spread along the wall in all directions. There will be the same conch like object every few meters on the route of these flames, and these conch like things will be ignited as long as they touch the flame.

In just a few tens of seconds, the dark inside of the statue turned bright, and thousands of conch like wall lamps embedded in the wall were lit.

Looking around in surprise, long Tianci said, "the design here is really ingenious. All the lamps have oil tank links. As long as one lamp is lit, the oil in the oil tank will be lit, and these oil tanks lead to other wall lamps, that is, you can light all the lamps by lighting any one!"

"This is not the key. What I wonder most now is that this relic seems to have been around for some years. Why is there lamp oil in the lamps? It's too strange. In addition, these lamps are embedded into the wall, and there is no place to pour oil. Don't these lamps need to add grease?" it's the first time for Jiugong Huo to see this strange lamp design, So he spoke out his doubts!

"There's nothing strange about these lights. The thing embedded in the wall is called fire snail. It's a kind of conch living in the range of submarine volcano. This conch usually dies as long as it comes out of water, but it won't rot. and this conch has a very strange characteristic, that is, once the temperature is too high, the body will activate and revive the fire snail. In order to maintain the flame, the fire snail will divide Secrete a kind of highly combustible oil, which can burn for several hours as long as it is a little bit. After it is consumed, the fire snail will die again and wait for the next high temperature to come back to life. We Linghui fox used this lamp in those years! "Bai Jin explained!

Hearing Bai Jin's explanation, the others approached with a very curious expression and studied this creature called fire snail again. To be honest, they didn't know the existence of this kind of thing before today. There are too many unknown things in the world.

With enough lighting, people finally saw the internal structure of the statue. The whole statue was completely hollow. There was a spiral staircase leading directly to the head of the statue. There were many honeycomb caves on the side of the spiral staircase near the mountain wall. Long Tianci roughly counted and found that there were tens of thousands of honeycomb caves.

Judging from the regular shape of these caves, these caves are definitely not formed naturally, but dug manually. Then the problem arises. Why do we have to dig so many caves inside the statue? What are these caves for?

These caves are not big enough for a person to climb in, so they should not be residences, but if they are not residences, what will they be? storeroom? Not like it?

In order to check the function of these honeycomb caves, long Tianci and others began to walk up the stairs and came to the outside of the nearest row of honeycomb caves!

"There are all corpses here!!?" after getting closer, long Tianci finally saw what was inside. Every cave * * that can barely accommodate a person has a mummy. These corpses are placed in the cave without clothes and coffins, which makes long Tianci and others puzzled. It seems that there is no such burial mode in the burial customs of all races in the world?
