Chapter 1429 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 29
That was an altar.
A floating, enormous altar.
Eighteen bronze chains suspend the base of the altar, and countless bronze bells hang around it. Four large black flags are hung in the four directions: east, south, west, and north.
The runes on the flag were words that had never appeared before.
On the stone slab beneath the altar, there are intricate and eerie grooves, each containing dried, blackened bloodstains.
Look up.
In the very center of the altar stands a lush, leafy tree.
The tree was about seventeen or eighteen meters tall, with crimson fruits, each about the size of a palm, hanging from its branches, their insides shimmering with a faint glow.
"Gudong."
In the silence, even the sound of swallowing saliva was extremely clear.
"Oh my god."
"what is this?"
"How could something like this grow in the desert?"
People couldn't hide their astonishment, but they subconsciously lowered their voices, fearing they might disturb the boss who might be hiding in the altar.
Looking back again.
Only despair.
It's full of mummies!
It stretches as far as the eye can see!
Large and small mummies stood motionless behind them, their heads held high, making a "crackling" sound as their bones rubbed together, accompanied by the sound of bronze bells ringing without wind, their mouths agape as they whispered in unison.
That sound seemed to be...
Like a fingernail scratching across a blackboard.
Sharp, piercing, and involuntarily making one feel itchy all over.
[Mom—! Help—!]
[Thank goodness I didn't get into archaeology back then; if I had, I would have failed miserably.]
This is truly a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place!
[Set it on fire! Set it on fire now!]
【Wait, what's the underlying principle?】
Viewers in the live stream were both terrified and excited, and many professionals also developed a strong desire to explore and research.
The archaeological team at the scene was even more excited.
"I must say, this bronze bell is quite technically advanced."
Before long, the archaeology professors, holding up their binoculars, spoke up: "Intricate tree patterns, miniature carvings, and the sound of bells—the sound has clearly been tuned..."
"The Yi tribe? A tribe that lives in the desert?"
"Let me see, the murals on the altar are something else!"
Soon, members of the archaeological team joined the group chat.
Yan Sui: ...
The people brought by Yan Sui: ...
Hey.
Do not understand.
They were just there to collect the treasures and refused to join group chats that were too culturally focused.
Shu Jiao stood beside Chi Yu with her arms crossed, leaning lazily against her, while Chi Yu carefully observed the murals on the floating altar.
The first mural.
A group of people crossed high mountains, snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and long rivers, and after a large number of them died, they finally arrived in the desert.
The second mural.
After the bloodshed of the human sacrifice, a group of people settled in the desert and built a city, which was roughly the same as the city they were in.
The third mural.
In the firelight, a person dressed in fine clothes and wearing a bronze mask seemed to have received some guidance and led the group away.
The fourth mural.
The masked man brought back a tree...
Subsequently, everyone in the city embarked on a massive construction project, building an altar, and then...
No more.
The rest of the content is on the other side, but they dare not touch it now, for fear of accidentally disrupting the current "harmonious" research atmosphere.
"So this Yi tribe was driven here."
Chen Yuansheng examined it carefully again and again, "This army riding elephants... black elephants, should be the Yi tribe. After the two armies clashed and the Yi tribe was defeated, they migrated to the desert."
"This masked man is of high status."
"Either the king, or a priest, or a royal advisor, or something like that."
I prefer the second option.
Another professor whispered, "During the human sacrifice, this masked man stood in the center; he must have been the organizer of the ceremony..."
They were having a very lively discussion.
Netizens: ? ? ?
"Wait, it's so dangerous, aren't you thinking about how to escape?"
[We can't run away now, but taking more photos will leave some research material for future generations.]
Wow!
[They really need to be professionals; look how calm they are...]
Professional: Hmm...
Is it possible that they weren't calm?
They're truly out of ideas!
Looking at the bodies behind them, it was as if they had an automatic retrieval function; they were impossible to kill and could even assimilate their desiccated corpses. Then, he glanced at the floating altar and the giant tree.
What else can they do?
All I can do is laugh it off and let it be.
Whether you live or die, you should leave something behind before you die, right?
It's better than having so many people watch you screaming and yelling, not being able to escape, and ending up dead unrecognizable.
What's wrong...?
They also have some image concerns.
"It is the high priest."
Listening to the discussions, Shu Jiao finally managed to dredge up some information from her memory.
She said, "Why do I feel a sense of familiarity about this?"
Yi ethnic group.
defeat.
And that purple cocoon wood.
It's been so long; if that period of her life hadn't been so glorious, she might not have been able to retrieve it from her memory.
"High Priest of the Yi Clan".
Shu Jiao gently waved her folding fan. "The Yi people originally lived in Danan, which is now the Kenna Plain. After their defeat, they crossed the Solya Snow Mountain and the Eighteen Ridges Mountain Range from Danan to reach the Yagochixia Desert."
Upon hearing this route, a group of people mentally drew a map, and their lips twitched slightly.
That's nearly 20,000 kilometers!
Wow, now that's what extreme sports are all about.
Are the Yi people all superhuman?
Crossing snow-capped mountains, the Eighteen Ridges Range, and dense forests to reach the desert—putting everything else aside, the change in environment alone is already deadly, isn't it?
How did they do that? This is impossible!!!
[If it were me, I'd be dead eight hundred times over, even with the twists and turns...]
Netizens were also shocked to hear this.
Fortunately.
No one doubted that Shu Jiao might be making things up.
joke.
Whom are you suspecting?
Are you doubting Boss Shu, a humanoid weapon who can take on an elephant single-handedly, is incredibly wealthy, beautiful and kind-hearted, proficient in Gu magic and has family secrets, and who revealed the existence of the Yi Clan a long time ago?
Not only did netizens have no doubts, but the archaeological team also firmly believed it.
why?
Because Shu Jiao's words perfectly match the content of the mural!
All eyes turned to Shu Jiao, their expressions conveying the same message—
Talk more!
I love listening to this!
"Ouch, my wrist is a little sore~"
Shu Jiao winked at Chi Yu, "Yu Yu, can you rub it for me, my darling?"
The group of people immediately looked at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu: ...
That's good.
I even had the urge to bury myself alive.
Oh well, what can we do even if Jiaojiao is indecent? It's not like she's only been like this for the first time.
good friend.
A good friend I chose myself.
Hey ~
Chi Yu sighed helplessly and grabbed her wrist. "Stop fooling around, just tell me."
Upon squeezing it, Chi Yu realized that Shu Jiao's fan was really heavy.
It's impossible to move!
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sweetheart."
Shu Jiao casually teased him, then continued, "The Yi tribe is skilled in controlling and raising beasts. It is said that all of them are spiritual beings, protected by the gods, and can communicate with all beasts."
