Chapter 292 Totem?
Zhou Wen summoned a poisonous white shadow and told it to fly as high as possible, close to the sapphire sky, hoping to avoid the eyes and ears of the nine-headed dragon in the sea and successfully cross the underground sea.
Zhou Wen kept staring at the sea and didn't notice the terrifying shadow. Suddenly, a blue light flashed on the game screen, and then the whole screen went black. The bloody man died somehow.
"What was that just now?" Zhou Wen frowned and looked at the phone, but unfortunately he did not answer. He only knew that the thing should not be a nine-headed dragon, but something that came out of the sapphire sky.
"Luckily we came here in a strange car, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to cross the underground sea." Zhou Wen was about to restart the game when he heard Lu Yunxian, who had been watching, shout, "There's land ahead."
Zhou Wen and Lu Ning both stood up and saw a silver beach in the direction the strange car was speeding. The sand there was rougher than any other place Zhou Wen had ever seen, like snow.
The strange car landed on the beach, and its wheels left two deep ruts on the beach as it continued to move forward.
Just after crossing the sea, a white desert appeared in front of us, with endless snow-like sand.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought that the strange car would continue to run for a while, just like it was in the underground sea, at least one or two hours.
But just as Zhou Wen sat down and was about to take out his phone to continue playing the dungeon, he heard Lu Yunxian's voice again: "Master Wen, look at that thing?"
Zhou Wen, whose butt was still not warm, had to get up again and look into the depths of the desert. From afar, he saw something like a flag hanging on the sand in the distance.
The reason why it looks like a flag is because the flagpole is crooked. You are like a big snake that is not straightened out standing on the sand, with a piece of animal skin or something hanging on the top. It is tattered and black, and its shape is the same as a pair of shorts placed horizontally, and it hasn't been washed for hundreds of years.
Zhou Wen looked intently and vaguely saw some pattern on the thing that looked like torn pants. However, without Di Ting, his eyesight was obviously not as good as Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning.
Lu Ning's expression changed slightly, and she said in a strange voice, "I think I've seen the pattern on that flag in the stone palace that Jiuye took me to."
"What pattern? Are you sure you're not seeing it wrong?" Zhou Wen asked.
Lu Ning stared for a while longer, as the car got closer. Then she said, "No doubt it's that pattern. A triangular anchor with a profile of a woman with long hair painted on it. Because the pattern was so strange, I only took a few glances at it at the time, but it left a very deep impression on me."
"An anchor with a woman's profile?" Zhou Wen was shocked. He had seen that thing before, but he didn't expect to find it in such a place.
"Yes, although I don't know who invented the anchor or who the inventor is, according to some historical discoveries, this thing would not have appeared too early. At least there must be large ships first, and then there are anchors. At the time of the Zhuolu myth, there was no news of any large ships, so the appearance of the anchor pattern there is naturally impressive." Lu Ning said again.
"Could that pattern have been carved after someone went in?" Lu Yunxian pondered.
"I thought so too before, but that pattern was specially carved on a stone tablet and placed on a stone table. It looks like it has experienced the baptism of tens of millions of years. It is almost blurred and does not look like it was newly carved. And if you think about it carefully, it has not been a hundred years since the dimensional storm started, and the Zhuolu battlefield has only appeared in recent years. Who could bring the stone tablet in so early? Moreover, it must be consistent with the architectural style of the stone hall, the materials must be unified, and the sense of age must be the same. This is a bit too difficult." Lu Ning said.
"It's indeed a bit too difficult." Zhou Wen nodded slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the torn shorts swaying in the air. Now he could see clearly that it should be a piece of animal skin, but it was torn very badly. However, the anchor pattern on the flag was still intact. Except for some discrepancies in size, the anchor pattern and the side portrait of the woman on it were exactly the same.
"What exactly does this woman and anchor pattern mean? If this pattern existed in ancient times, then who was its owner? Is it the woman on the anchor?" Zhou Wen secretly guessed in his heart, but there was no answer.
The crooked flagpole is not a snake, but an ancient black vine, so it looks crooked.
"What's sitting under the flag?" Lu Yunxian said, staring at the bottom of the vine flag.
Zhou Wen could only see a gray-black shadow, as if someone was sitting there, wearing a cloak.
When the strange car got closer to the vine flag, Zhou Wen realized that it was not a cloak, but just a strange animal skin. It looked like a cloak because it covered the head as well.
As for the creature inside the animal skin, no one knew what it was. Now only bones were left. Each bone was as crystal clear as jade, and had a flawless feel, forming a sharp contrast with the rough animal skin.
squeak!
When it was less than ten meters away from the flag, the strange car stopped. The puppet turned around and faced the skeleton in the animal skin. It actually bent down slightly, as if saluting.
"Why did it stop just now?" Zhou Wen looked around in confusion. There was white desert all around him. There was no stone palace, no cliffs or faults, and no filarial worms. It didn't look like the place Lu Ning described.
Lu Ning also had a look of confusion on his face. The three of them waited for a while, and seeing that the strange car had no intention of moving forward, and the puppet also stopped there, they had no choice but to jump out of the car bed and look at the skeleton and vine flag at close range.
There were no words on the tattered rattan flag, just an anchor pattern, and there was nothing special about it.
"This is the Zhuolu battlefield. Do you think this vine flag could be the flag of one of the sides in the war?" Lu Yunxian said.
Lu Ning shook her head slightly. "Although there are many versions of the myth, each with its own interpretation. Some say the Huangdi clan's vines are bears, others say they're dragons. Some say the Chiyou clan's vines are insects, others say they're cows, or even birds. But no matter which version of the legend, their vines have one thing in common: they're basically animals. There's never been a version where they're inanimate objects, let alone something like an anchor."
"That does make sense. That was the period of nature worship, and there shouldn't have been artificial vines like anchors." Lu Yunxian also felt that his idea was a bit absurd.
While they were studying it, the skeleton that had been sitting still, like a dead object, suddenly stood up, scaring the three of them. They quickly stepped back and summoned their companion pets, staring at the skeleton vigilantly.
