Chapter 608 Reliefs
The reliefs on both sides of the tomb walls are all weird reliefs of human faces.
The reason why these reliefs are weird is because there are some strange creatures carved on the foreheads of these human faces. These creatures are very delicately carved. A slight comparison between the two can tell that at the beginning, Craftsmen pay more attention to the latter when carving.
There were no novices present, so they all recognized that these creatures were tomb beasts, but all the creature reliefs did not have eyes engraved on them, which looked very strange.
Slowly walking along the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan suddenly saw a familiar relief.
There is a relief sculpture with a human face and three bronze fish with snake eyebrows carved on it.
This made Chen Ziyan stop subconsciously. According to the information he knew, the snake-eyebrow copper fish was Wang Zanghai's personal logo in a certain sense.
So the relief of the snake-browed copper fish appears here, which is likely to hide some information.
Looking carefully with the help of the searchlight, Chen Ziyan discovered that the human face as a carrier was essentially different from other face reliefs. It was a face with obvious female characteristics, while the other faces The reliefs are all male.
The three snake-eyebrow copper fish on the human face are connected end to end, forming a unique ring shape, which results in the shape of each snake-eyebrow copper fish being different.
"Ring?"
Looking at this ring made of snake-browed copper fish, Chen Ziyan somehow suddenly thought of the undersea tomb where they were.
If the pattern of the undersea tomb did not change, then this place could also be regarded as a special circulation space. He felt that there might be a connection between the two.
However, there are too few clues at hand now, and Chen Ziyan is not sure whether his idea is correct.
After remembering all the details of the relief in front of him, Chen Ziyan continued to move deeper into the tomb passage.
After a while, when he saw the relief of the snake-browed copper fish again, he immediately discovered the problem.
The reliefs on the two walls of the tomb passage were also cyclical, repeating themselves at intervals. However, he always felt that something was wrong, but he could not find where the problem was for a while.
It wasn’t until Chen Ziyan saw the snake-browed copper fish relief for the third time that he realized something was wrong. It was the reliefs of human faces that were used as carriers that had changed.
The eyes of the human faces in the first round of reliefs were closed, but in the second round, the eyes of these reliefs opened slightly, but the change was too subtle, and he At that time, my attention was focused on the biorelief on the human face, so I was not aware of this.
But in the third round of reliefs in front of him, the eyes of these faces had changed even more, and a crack had been exposed, so he noticed it.
At this moment, Dong Yanxia touched Chen Ziyan. After seeing him looking over, he raised the underwater drawing board in his hand, and saw that it read:
"Mr. Chen, there is something wrong with these face reliefs. They are opening their eyes!”
They are opening their eyes?
When he first saw this sentence, Chen Ziyan subconsciously thought that Dong Yanxia had also discovered the change in the relief, but then he realized that it was wrong, because if that was the case, there was no need to describe it like this.
Dong Yanxia’s sentence does not seem to describe a dead object like a relief. Instead, it reads like it is describing... some kind of living thing?
Perhaps sensing Chen Ziyan's doubts, Dong Yanxia pointed at the path behind them.
Chen Ziyan frowned slightly. He understood what the other party meant. There was also a problem with the relief at the back.
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan made a gesture to alert others, while he slowly retreated with Hua Hu.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the relief would open its eyes! The masculine face reliefs remained unchanged, but when Chen Ziyan saw the second round of female face reliefs again, his heart sank suddenly.
Because the eyes of this relief are indeed different from before. They are not slightly open, but more like the third round of relief he just saw, with a gap exposed.
The relief is actually opening its eyes!
After confirming this, Chen Ziyan left here without hesitation.
Logically speaking, he had to observe it, but he knew better that if these reliefs were really alive, staying in this tomb passage was definitely not a good choice.
What's so fishy here? It's not too late to come back and explore it later when you're ready. It's better to leave now.
Quickly returning to the team in front, Chen Ziyan said nothing, only motioning for everyone to follow him.
But although he didn't say anything, his performance was enough to explain the problem.
Most people saw the exchange between Chen Ziyan and Dong Yanxia just now, knowing that they must have discovered something, and now Chen Ziyan's performance has undoubtedly been verified.
The atmosphere in the team suddenly became tense. Although these people are all good players and have a lot of relevant experience, there should still be tension, but they can only be restrained.
There was no longer a team of people observing while walking, and the speed became very fast, and they passed the fifth round of reliefs not long after.
Although Chen Ziyan did not stop to take a closer look, he would take a look at the relief of a female face engraved with a snake-eyebrow bronze fish when he passed by.
When he saw the changes in the relief eyes, his heart couldn't help but sink, because most of the eyes on this human face had already been opened, and it looked like they would all open soon.
According to their previous speculation on the length of the tomb passage, Chen Ziyan estimated that they would have to go through eight rounds of reliefs before they could reach the end of the tomb passage.
And they can’t care too much about speed. After all, they are in the water, not the more familiar land. If they move forward at full speed, their vigilance will inevitably be greatly reduced. This is not a problem for them. Good choice.
This also leads to a result, that is, they may not be able to leave this tomb passage before the eyes of the relief are fully opened.
After thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan hesitated and did not tell anyone else.
This is not the time, partly because he doesn't want to disturb people's hearts, which may lead to worse results.
The development of the matter was exactly as Chen Ziyan expected. When they passed the seventh round of reliefs, the eyes of the female face relief had been completely opened, and it seemed that they would soon be able to Open them all.
This means that the time when the eyes of these reliefs are fully opened is just before they arrive at the eighth round of reliefs, or at the same time they arrive.
Chen Ziyan was mentally prepared for the worst as to what would happen at that time.
Even if the relief suddenly came to life and walked down the tomb wall, he wouldn't be surprised.
But with this thought in his heart, Chen Ziyan still held the weapon in his hand.
