Chapter 2512: The peeling tomb owner
Xu Ning didn't understand. Lin Ran said it was fine just now. How could he judge that it was still alive now?
Lin Ran heard their discussion and simply replied: "I have heard such a legend before."
In order to make them trust him, Lin Ran had to slightly process the things that were discussed in the meeting and turned them into things that he asked Lu Yingjie about.
This group of local masters worshiped Lu Yingjie in every possible way. After all, he was the legendary predecessor of the Mountain Moving Sect.
Now that Lin Ran had said so, Guan Yun had no choice but to hold back his nausea, took the money, wrapped his hands in the clothes he had just worn, and fired several shots into the armor.
When he fired, the armor that had been holding still began to twitch like a living insect, making everyone feel uneasy.
"Really not dead?" After firing a few shots, Guan Yun noticed that his movements were different from before.
So I tried a few more shots, and after these shots went in, the armor really stopped moving for the third time, and it must have been completely dead.
Guan Yun ripped off his clothes and threw them aside, then took a few bottles of water and rinsed his hands.
"Mr. Lin, should you be fine now?" Guan Yun asked.
He didn't want his efforts to go to waste.
Lin Ran remained noncommittal and kept staring at the body.
Any mistake now may lead to their group being destroyed here.
It is unknown whether the armor in front of them is a historical treasure, a key to the next tomb, or a trap that will give them a fatal blow.
While Lin Ran was observing the armor, he suddenly noticed what was going on inside the coffin.
Among the coffins, there were many sparkling items.
He moved the armor slightly and saw many flaky objects hidden under the armored man.
It looks like scales on armor, but the armor in front of you is complete and is not the ancient Chinese armor standard.
Lin Ran put on his gloves, picked up a scale from inside, and observed it in his hands.
It's not that the materials dropped from this armor are all different.
The material of the scales in the hand is soft in texture, more like an organic matter such as a turtle shell than a metal product. It has lost its activity and is dry.
He carefully inspected other places in the coffin, and found that there were also many scales, and he also found some linear objects similar to hay.
A terrible thought emerged in his mind.
Could it be that this is not the material for making the Changsheng Yong, but it fell from the people inside the Changsheng Yong.
It's like a snake shedding its skin.
They were just lucky and happened to catch the opportunity when the creatures in Changshengyong were weak after molting.
All kinds of questions lingered in his mind, lingering.
There are many unsolvable mysteries in history, and the ancient corpse in front of us is definitely one of them.
Lin Ran didn't expect to be able to directly reveal all the secrets through an archaeological investigation.
He only hopes to solve the mystery of the space in the ancient tomb first.
If the mystery of space is solved, the trajectory of history will change. Whether it is good or bad, Lin Ran cannot control it.
The emergence of this kind of technology is definitely a sword of Damocles in this era.
After the advent of the Internet, people gradually realized that everyone had similar ideas and the hatred between each other was not so strong.
It's different now. Many places are just emerging from poverty, and they blame their poverty on the invasion of nearby powers.
Once this technology appears, it will definitely cause chaos.
And it is in a world where Lin Ran cannot predict the future direction.
In order to survive safely, Lin Ran would do anything to bury this secret forever.
This is also the fundamental reason why he will come to the ancient tomb again.
After confirming his true intention again, Lin Ran raised his head and looked at Liu Jingfeng.
They both looked at each other, both asking for each other's advice.
Lin Ran had a terrible guess in his mind through the scales he had just collected.
After wearing the Immortal Yong, the corpse is no longer a corpse, but becomes a half-human, half-corpse monster.
It will continue to shed its scales and transform into a creature that is completely different from humans to achieve the purpose of resurrection.
This is no longer an antiseptic method, but an absolutely taboo technique!
It may even be the origin of Zongzi.
They had encountered rice dumplings in ancient tombs before, and the methods for cultivating rice dumplings there were all kinds of strange, but they could not find a complete theoretical system because they lacked core equipment.
And this armor is probably...
The key to making zongzi.
Even a monster more terrifying than Zongzi!
In an instant, the figure of the shadow man flashed in Lin Ran's mind.
That kind of powerful explosive power, invulnerable body, and human wisdom.
Is this what it is made of?
Indeed, they did not know the specific identity of the tomb owner in front of them at all, but according to his previous reasoning, it was absolutely impossible for the tomb owner to allow himself to conduct experiments before he was sure of the efficacy of an item.
He would definitely let his subordinates or slaves be used as experimental subjects.
With the appearance of the shadow people in the ancient tomb, we can roughly guess that they are all subordinates of the tomb owner.
but...
Lin Ran did not tell anyone else about this inference. He continued to immerse himself in observation and search.
Sure enough, a layer of skin was found at the bottom of the coffin.
This layer of skin has almost turned into silk. At first glance, I thought it was a layer of spider web covering it, but when I touch it in my hand, I can feel the flexibility of the fiber.
Wang Jinpeng was waiting nearby. Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, he reminded him: "Boss, Brother Lin, we'd better act quickly. If we delay, it will be night again."
He has no interest in archaeology. Although the armor in front of him seems to have special effects, it is only for archaeologists.
Lin Ran was still a little hesitant, and Huang Hao scolded from the side: "Fat man, don't disturb Brother Lin's research!"
He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and besides, it was a matter of life and death. Huang Hao didn't want Wang Jinpeng's anxiety to ruin his rhythm.
"That's not what I meant." Wang Jinpeng said, "I just want to remind Brother Lin that this coffin suddenly appeared. Did it happen to be when you took down the wooden box?"
"Could it be that the key to the problem is still in the wooden box?"
Wang Jinpeng said with some dissatisfaction. He reminded him kindly, but in the end he received blank looks from his teammates.
He has a straightforward character, so he didn't hide it and responded to Huang Hao.
Lin Ran's eyes suddenly widened.
The sudden appearance of the coffin yesterday made him temporarily forget about the wooden box. To be precise, the coffin appeared at the same time he got the wooden box.
There must be a relationship between the two!
