Daomu Biji: Restart - Book 4: Chapter 77: Wooden Club God

When the light hit the stone, I found that it really wasn’t a stone. I didn’t know what it was, but my first impression was that it was a long, thin pool of mud that could move.

At this time, this thing was just standing there, as still as a statue.

Everyone also noticed it and immediately started to go ashore silently.

This showed that the people here were well trained, because ordinary people were more likely to stay put in this kind of situation.

The thing continued to remain motionless. Please note that I would describe it as a giant leech if I could, but the whole aura of this thing definitely wasn’t that of a bug.

A male team member went to pull his gun out but I quickly stopped him. This thing was exactly the same as the idol we saw in the Heavenly Palace.

This was something the ancients regarded as a god.

If the ancients called it a god instead of an animal, then there had to be a special reason for it. Mammoths were much larger than this thing, yet they weren’t enshrined as ancient gods.

I also retreated to the water’s edge, grabbed my underwear, and put them on while glancing back at the girls’ side. They still had no idea what was going on over here, but none of the men could give them a warning since everyone’s attention was focused on this thing.

Under my flashlight’s glow, I saw that this thing’s skin was transparent and the inside had the luster of colored glaze. To my surprise, I saw a figure inside of it.

No, that wasn’t right. It wasn’t a person’s shadow but a part of a costume. There was even a hat that looked like a phoenix crown resting above the costume.

There was no body inside of this thing, just that costume.

I tried hard not to jump to any conclusions, but I really didn’t know what to do.

Then, without showing any interest in us, that thing moved and slowly sank into a crevice between the rocks.

It moved so slowly that it took about fifteen minutes before it had completely entered the crevice.

At this time, Fatty called out to the girls. They put their clothes on and came over, but were baffled when they found that there was nothing to see.

I rushed to the mules, opened the special box, and took out the crown from Xiao Hua’s spare ancient costume set. It was exactly the same as the one I saw just now.

Fatty saw my solemn expression and asked me what was wrong, but I didn’t know how to explain it. If what we saw just now was the kind of god enshrined in the Heavenly Palace, then many people must have been offered up as sacrifices over the years. These sacrifices should have entered here in full costume but were probably completely digested after being swallowed, leaving only the crown and clothes behind.

So, what I saw may have been the crown of another sacrifice which hadn’t been digested and remained in that thing’s body.

But the crown from that era shouldn’t be the same as Xiao Hua’s crown.

Moreover, the crown I saw just now was the same as the spare crown in my hand, which meant that the crown inside of that thing was brought in by Xiao Hua. There were two in total: the one in my hand and the one in this ancient god.

What did this mean?

It meant that a sacrifice had been carried out.

But I remembered that the costume wasn’t in Xiao Hua’s hands at that time. It was with Black Glasses, who was always at the front of the team.

This whole thing was very confusing. I only saw the clothes in the wooden club god’s body, but I didn’t see any traces of a human body.

At present, anything could happen.

Fatty walked back to the hot spring, obviously refusing to give up the opportunity to soak in the hot water. The other guys hesitated, but the girls began to put all of their clothes back on.

I climbed up a tall rock where I could see the place where the wooden club god had slunk away to. It was also a small hot spring, and there was a big spring hole at the bottom that was visible to the naked eye. As it turned out, this spring hole was actually a very deep crevice between the rocks here. Wen Binghui crawled over, set off a cold firework, and threw it in.

The cold firework sank into the depths of the hot spring hole before disappearing completely.

“I’ll go down and take a look,” Ming Er Nagqu suddenly spoke up from the side. I looked back and saw that she had taken out a small oxygen tank, hung it on her waist, and then jumped directly into the spring right over the hole. This oxygen tank could provide oxygen for about seven minutes.

The spring was very small and could only accommodate one person. This was the kind of cave exploration that was very dangerous, but I couldn’t stop her in time.

At this moment, Xiuxiu came up behind me and tapped me on the back. When I turned to look at her, she held up a satellite phone in front of me and said, “There’s a strange signal here.”
