Chapter 174 The Elves From the Shadows

After viewing the murals on the left tomb wall, Chen Xizhou and Zhang Qi came to the murals on the right.

The mural on the right also depicts a bird-shaped elf.

Unlike the war between the bird-shaped elves and humans recorded on the left mural, the mural on the right records more like the coexistence of the bird-shaped elves and humans.

After Zhang Qi browsed through all the murals on the right, he sorted them out in his mind: "Although I don't know if it's correct, I still want to talk about what I interpreted from the murals."

Zhang Qi wrote and drew in his little notebook while telling his imaginary story:

"In a certain city, humans built two towers on the east and west sides. I guess these two towers were built for the friendship between humans and elves.

The tower on the east side is used to wake up the elves, while the tower on the west side makes the elves sleep. The bird-shaped elves live on the top of the tower on the east side, which may be called the bell tower.

But one day, a lightning bolt hit the tower on the west side, and the tower instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights. Finally, a heavy rain extinguished the flames, but at this time, there was little left of the tower.

Three unknown elves were burned to death in the fire, and the bird-shaped elves fell from the sky and resurrected them."

Although Zhang Qi was thirsty, he still resisted the urge to drink water and looked at Chen Xizhou with burning eyes.

Chen Xizhou certainly understood Zhang Qi's idea. He smiled and praised: "It's a wonderful story, and I feel it fits the mural very well."

This is by no means perfunctory.

Chen Xizhou felt that even if he came by himself, the story he made up would not be as appropriate as Zhang Qi's.

"Keep going forward."

This tomb is not the final tomb, because there is another stone door that can be opened.

Unlike the previous passage, this time after opening the stone door is a stone staircase leading to the underground.

Under the protection of Slowpoke and Caterpie, Chen Xizhou and Zhang Qi went down all the way and continued to observe the tomb walls on both sides of the stone stairs, trying to explore more clues.

Chen Xizhou and his party walked up and down the dim and boring stone stairs for about half an hour, and finally saw another tomb.

"This should be the deepest part."

Zhang Qi compared the precision instrument in his hand and finally concluded: "According to the display on the positioning instrument, our current location should be about 500 meters deep."

Although it is only 500 meters, it is indeed not so easy to walk along the winding road.

Still pushing open the stone door of the tomb without resistance, a salty and humid breath suddenly hits the face.

It's the breath of the sea!

In the center of the tomb, there is a circular stone platform made of three-color evolutionary stones, and two items are placed on the stone platform.

A scroll and a scepter?

Chen Xizhou detected the two items on the stone platform with ease. The scroll is not an elf prop, and the scepter is an elf prop called the Sea God Scepter.

[Sea God Scepter! ]

[Sea God Scepter: The Sea God Scepter held by the Sea Warrior can increase the intimacy with the sea elves. ]

Am I really the protagonist?

Chen Xizhou couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that before entering the tomb, he was still considering the possibility of developing the surrounding islands. After entering the tomb, there was a Sea God Scepter that could solve the problem.

With this Sea God Scepter, I believe that the development opportunities of the islands around Langqi Island will be very smooth.

As for the scroll...

Chen Xizhou couldn't understand the text on it, so he could only ask King Dai Dai to help translate it.

According to King Dai Dai, this scroll is a feathered letter to summon the people of the sea. The main content of the feathered letter is to let the people of the sea rebuild the altar and statue of the sea god and worship the sea god again.

Zhang Qi asked curiously: "Is this sea person a human or an elf?"

After asking, Zhang Qi realized that he had asked a very stupid question, because only humans can rebuild the altar and statue. Although the elves are powerful, they do not have such skills.

In addition to the scepter of the sea god and the feathered letter, the most valuable thing in this tomb is the three-color evolution stone.

The three-color evolution stone is not an evolution stone of three colors, but a stone pillar with green leaf stone, red fire stone and blue water stone piled together.

What to do next?

After Zhang Qi and Chen Xizhou looked at each other, they immediately reacted: "Mayor, according to regulations, the scepter and scroll should be handed over to the alliance. You should put these things away first, and please allow me to study them slowly."

Although Zhang Qi is young, he is very clear about many things.

Whether these things belong to Chen Xizhou personally, to Langqi Town, or to the alliance headquarters, it has nothing to do with Zhang Qi. As long as he can continue his research here, it's fine.

Chen Xizhou nodded.

"Dingling~"

A crisp bell sound suddenly rang from the top of his head, which frightened the defenseless Chen Xizhou and Zhang Qi!

Before the two could react, Zhang Qi's round land shark jumped up, opened his mouth bigger than his body, and spit a violent dragon breath at a certain tomb wall.

"No!"

This scene made Zhang Qi's teeth gritted and he wanted to kill the round land shark.

"Huh, fortunately, fortunately."

After seeing that the mural attacked by the dragon breath was intact, Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

】

The round land shark didn't understand what his trainer meant, and tilted his big head to look at Zhang Qi. The big-eyed dragon of Kazilan and his innocent face made it hard for people to blame it.

"There is still some kind of creature? Or some kind of Pokémon?"

Zhang Qi couldn't bear to look into Yuanlu Shark's eyes, so he could only change the subject and replied: "Although I don't know what it is, there should be other tombs besides this tomb."

His eyes fell on the transparent bell hanging above his head.

This is something that no one, including King Slow, has discovered.

【Soothing Bell! 】

[Soothing Bell: A bell with a pleasant sound. The elf carrying it will be soothed and become closer to the trainer. 】

It's actually another elf prop?

No, it should be a lot of elf props.

Chen Xizhou raised his head and counted it carefully. There were 36 transparent bells in total.

"Xiao Qi, is there anything special about the bell in the tomb?"

"Generally speaking, the bells in tombs are used to attract spirits. As for the bells here..." Zhang Qi frowned and replied, "To be honest, I don't know either."

"Or are there bodies in other tombs?"

Zhang Qi began to knock on the surrounding walls, as if looking for something.

Seeing Zhang Qi's actions, Chen Xizhou's eyes widened. He felt as if he had come into contact with a new world.

Chen Xizhou couldn't help but asked: "Aren't you from a family of archaeologists and a major in archeology? Why are you still visiting tombs now? Do you also work part-time as a tomb robber?"

"..."

Zhang Qi opened his mouth, but was unable to refute.

Why are most archaeological artifacts found in tombs?

That is because the cultural relics on the ground have basically been destroyed through historical changes or wars, and the cultural relics unearthed from tombs are due to the location of ancient tombs, and the promotion of thick burials in some dynasties, the large number of cultural relics buried with them, and legislative protection. , so underground cultural relics are better protected.

This is why cultural relics are basically discovered from tomb archeology.

Therefore, it is really normal for people who study archeology to know some knowledge about digging graves.

After Zhang Qi's very detailed explanation, Chen Xizhou nodded awkwardly and said that he had a very deep understanding of the archeology profession and would not have such misunderstandings again in the future.

Zhang Qi was very, very, very satisfied when he saw that Chen Xizhou finally understood his major. However, he wasted more than 20 minutes. He should hurry up.

After a while, Zhang Qi finally stopped in a certain direction.

"If my judgment is correct, this should be a stone door. Behind the stone door will be the next tomb. As for how to open it, I will need some time to study it."

While Zhang Qi and Chen Xizhou were discussing, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from Zhang Qi's shadow.

The true face of Lushan was finally revealed!

This is an elf that looks like a dragon.

It has a broad and flat head, two protruding eyes, a pointed mouth, and a relatively long and narrow body.

【Doron Mecia! 】

[Doron Mecia: The Sorrowful Elf]

[Doron Mecia once inhabited the ancient sea. After being reborn as a ghost elf, he would wander around his former residence. 】

[In the evening, Doronmesia will swim quickly around the sea in groups, poke and play with the little elves in the water, and bite the prawns and hold on to the little elves even though they don’t want to eat them. I heard that this is what it left behind during its lifetime. activity habits. 】

[Although one alone is too weak to even defeat a child, it will cooperate with its partners to exercise and become stronger through evolution. 】

Entry keywords: cooperation, ghost dragon, quasi-god, full of potential

Another quasi-god elf with full potential!

Chen Xizhou quickly opened Duolong Mexia's elf panel:

Elf: Doronmecia

Gender: Male

Attributes: Dragon type, ghost type

Characteristics: Penetration (can penetrate the opponent's barriers or avatars to attack.)

Item: Soothing Bell

Skills: bite, lightning flash, fright, entanglement

Teaching Skills: None

Genetic Skills: Dragon Tail, Assault

After Duolong Mexia looked back at Zhang Qi curiously, he plunged into the tomb wall and disappeared.

"It's a dragon-like elf!" Zhang Qi looked quite excited.

Zhang Qi has the idea of ​​encountering all kinds of elves, and has always been aiming to pursue those dragon-shaped elves. What he wants to find most is the owner of the largest dragon-like elf figure on the Cuishan ruins mural.

Now that he met another dragon-like elf, he felt that he was one step closer to his goal.

"No, I must find it!"

Zhang Qi has already sensed Duolong Mexia's curiosity about him from its eyes.

There has always been a popular saying in the love world: A woman's fall begins with her curiosity about men.

By analogy and comparison, Zhang Qi came to the conclusion: The fall of the elves must have also started from curiosity about humans...
