People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Although he was not sure whether Wu Laogou's guess was correct, Chen Ziyan knew exactly what he should do next.

With a slight flick of his wrist, a cold light flashed in front of the two of them, and in the next second the fabric that seemed to be embedded in the tree was completely cut off along the edge.

To Chen Ziyan, it didn't really matter what caused the strange scene in front of him. He cared more about what was inside than the reason why the cloth was embedded in the tree.

And the moment the cloth fell from the tree, the situation inside also caught their eyes.

As Wu Laogou said earlier, this fabric is indeed part of the backpack, but neither Chen Ziyan nor Wu Laogou paid much attention to it, but focused on the well-preserved things in the tree body above.

After seeing the true appearance of the thing clearly with the help of the light, Chen Ziyan knew that it was not an accident that the backpack was hidden in the tree, but someone did it on purpose.

Because in the backpack hidden in the tree body, there was nothing they expected. There was only a thick-looking thread-bound book inside.

However, when Chen Ziyan took it out, he found that it was not a book, but a notebook made of a special material.

Looking at the notebook in his hand, a look of joy appeared in Chen Ziyan's eyes, which was really an unexpected joy.

They can get the information they want through the content recorded above.

In such a strange and mysterious place, information is far more important than anything.

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Ziyan gently opened the notebook in front of him.

However, after he opened the cover of the notebook, he knew that his worries were unnecessary, because not only the cover material of this notebook was special, but even the paper inside was not of ordinary quality. The handwriting is very clear.

[On May [-]th, the team arrived at a remote overseas island. I heard from the old sea wolf who was in charge of leading the way that this island seemed inconspicuous, but it was a black market hanging overseas because it was close to the ancient Maritime Silk Road. Because of the road, many behind-the-scenes transactions will choose to transit here. 】

[On May [-]th, wandering around... can be regarded as seeing what is called the country of Huawai. 】

[On May [-]th, continue to wander around and pick up some small leaks along the way. This is really not easy. The people who come and go in this place are all experts. 】

[On May [-]th, the expedition team finally assembled and will set sail tomorrow. I hope this trip will be smooth sailing. 】

……

[June [-]th, wandering... No, it has been nearly a month since I went to sea, and the boring days are really hard. Fortunately, I have already arrived at the target sea area, and I should be able to find something soon. 】

[June [-]th, it seems that we were lucky to lock on the target so quickly. 】

[June [-]th, it is really hard to imagine that there is such a magnificent underwater palace hidden under the vast ocean so far from the land. 】

[On June [-]th, there were too many traps, our team began to be downsized, and supplies were also lost. 】

……

[July... It should be July already. We have been stuck in this sunless underwater underground palace for too long, coupled with the loss of supplies and personnel, we have lost the concept of time. Fortunately, this underground palace has a special replacement. Qi device, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to survive now, I hope there will be a day when I can see the light again. 】

【Amen, Mazu bless you! 】

……

[I don’t know if it’s August or not. I’ve never felt that time has passed so long. We... probably won’t be able to go back... I’m really unwilling. 】

【good news!Team leader Zhang cracked the mystery of the ventilation device and found a passage leading to the ground. We agreed that this is the source of oxygen for us to live until now. Although this answer sounds a bit unbelievable, it is the only explanation no matter how you look at it. . 】

[The remaining supplies are already stretched. After discussing, we decided to go into that passage to find out. After all, staying here is tantamount to slow suicide, so we might as well fight while we still have the energy left. 】

……

[It's really unexpected that such a magnificent fantasy world is hidden in the unknown depth of the ground. Could it be that the settings in those novels are true? 】

[If I hadn't experienced all this personally, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe that the legendary underground world actually exists, but this is a good thing for us. The abundant resources here should supply us with no problem to survive. 】

【During the exploration, we found an underground river. Maybe we can use this river to move, which is much more efficient than walking. 】

……

【Underground navigation is indeed a good way. It not only avoids some unnecessary dangers, but also speeds up the travel. 】

[I have seen a lot of creatures that were beyond imagination, or that have been declared extinct on the surface of the earth. I think this is a subversive discovery for many theories, but it is a pity that I can't record it. 】

[Of course, this is a bit commonplace for us. The most indispensable thing here is this kind of animals and plants. Everyone is thinking about how to get back to the ground...including me. 】

……

[Perhaps the painstaking efforts really paid off. When we docked for repairs, we found an upward passage nearby. Although we have lost the concept of time, we can still roughly estimate that we are now very far away from the bottom of the sea where we were originally. Far away, maybe the long-lost land is right above your head. 】

[This is exciting news for everyone. We have had enough of this boundless darkness and life like primitive people, so we unanimously decided to explore upwards. 】

……

[This passage is far longer than expected. We have trekked for several days in it, but we have not been able to reach the exit. However, the good news is that judging from some traces along the way, this passage is very likely to be artificially built, perhaps We are not far from returning to the ground. 】

[Finally came out. 】

[Another underground space?Although it looks the same here as below, I always feel that something is wrong. 】

[This is a trap! 】

[However, for those of us who are struggling to pursue the light, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as there is such a glimmer of hope, we will not give up. It is nothing more than living to death. 】

……

[It seems that fate has not continued to favor us. This place is far more dangerous than we expected. We can't go back. If someone can find my notes, I hope... Forget it, let's be like this. 】

Withdrawing his gaze from the notebook, Chen Ziyan's many doubts finally had answers at this moment.

First of all, the identities of that group of people. According to the records in this notebook, these people should be an expedition team that went out to sea to hunt for treasure.

As for the owner of this notebook, although the other party seldom mentioned himself, through those casual words, Chen Ziyan deduced that this person might be an accompanying expert in the original expedition team.

As for the Zhang family that I met at the ancient building, it was as expected that they were the team leader Zhang mentioned in the notes.

After sorting out the clues obtained in his mind, Chen Ziyan also sorted out the context of the whole thing.

After the expedition team went out to sea, they successfully found their target, but were trapped on the bottom of the sea due to an accident. Later, through the ventilation device of the submarine building, they escaped to a deeper underground, where they survived by luck.

Since there was no way to return from the original way, the remaining members of the expedition decided to conduct an underground raft, trying to find a way to return to the surface through other means.

The luck of these people was good. They managed to find the way to this underground space in such a complicated underground space. But their luck was also bad, because there were countless black-haired snakes living here.

Without the slightest preparation and preventive measures, the consequences of diving headlong into the snake's nest can be imagined.

From the increasingly scrawled handwriting at the end of the notebook, it can be seen how bad the situation these people finally faced was.

However, it also proved from this point that Wu Laogou's previous guess was indeed wrong. It was not an accident that the backpack was hidden in the tree, but it was deliberately done by the owner of the diary.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan subconsciously looked at Old Dog Wu, but happened to meet a pair of glowing eyes.

Seeing Chen Ziyan looking at him, Old Dog Wu said, "Little friend, from the deep sea to here, this note...is a treasure!"

As the editor of the Tomb Raider's Notes, no one knows the value of this thing in Chen Ziyan's hands better than him.

Although not all the content inside is useful, and the later records are even more intermittent, but the key information recorded above is enough to reflect the value of this notebook.

You know, in a sense, information is priceless!
Hearing Wu Laogou's words, Chen Ziyan didn't know what he was thinking, and it would be a lie to say that he was not interested in it.

Because he knew very well that the information in this note was indeed priceless.

There are already three points that he can think of.

The first is the route from here to the deep sea. If it can be successfully reproduced, what it means is self-evident.

The second is the underground palace found by the expedition team. As a professional in archaeology, Chen Ziyan is very clear about what such an underground palace in the deep sea represents.

Finally, there is the underground world below, an underground world that has many strange species and has been kept in its original ecology for an unknown number of years. This can be regarded as a brand new world that has not yet been developed.

As for whether the contents of the notes are true or not, other people may have doubts because of those bizarre words, but for Chen Ziyan who knows and understands the existence of Ji Yuan, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the contents of the notes.

But the next moment Chen Ziyan realized a problem, that is, his idea was a bit too ideal.

From the records in the notes, it can be seen that the people of the expedition team were able to arrive here at the beginning, and there was some element of luck in it. It is not an easy task to copy that route. Not a small amount.

Moreover, manpower and materials are only one aspect, the most important thing is whether they can be held.

Whether it is to reproduce the route or develop the underground world, a large number of people are required to execute it, and large-scale operations mean that it is impossible to do it silently.

Chen Ziyan, who is well aware of human nature, knows that if many people know the secret, it is impossible to expect the secret not to be revealed.

And once the news leaked out, they alone would not be able to stop a pack of wolves from waiting around.

He can't, Wu Laogou can't, and they can't work together.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan reminded: "Fifth Master, if this thing leaks out, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing for us."

"Too."

Wu Laogou has seen a lot, and although he was pleasantly surprised for a while, he was not dazzled, and immediately understood the hidden danger of the matter after hearing the words.

He just made some calculations in his heart, and he knew that it was impossible for them alone to eat this piece of fat.

Unless you can gather the entire Nine Gates, maybe you can give it a try.

But as soon as this idea came up, it was denied by Wu Laogou himself. If it was the original Nine Gates, it might be okay, but the current Nine Gates no longer has that ability and trust.

In terms of Jiumen's current embarrassing situation, doing this kind of thing is probably because he feels that he doesn't die fast enough.

"No!" After regaining consciousness, Wu Laogou realized another problem, looked at Chen Ziyan and said, "If these people come from deeper underground, doesn't it mean that the exit we imagined is not does not exist?"

Chen Ziyan blinked, nodded and said, "It's really possible."

Although he didn't say too much, he knew very well in his heart that there was probably no third entrance and exit here.

This is not a good thing for them.

Although it has been planned to bring this place under control, if there are no other entrances and exits, then there is no possibility of hiding in the dark.

Both Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou knew that even if they could get control of this place from the Folklore Affairs Administration, the other party would not completely ignore it, at least they had to send someone to show off.

Previously, they planned to close the entrance and use new entrances and exits to benefit themselves, but if there were no new entrances and exits, then things would be a bit difficult.

"Little friend, can your illusion..." Wu Laogou asked Chen Ziyan after thinking for a moment.

He felt that Chen Ziyan's illusion might be more effective.

Knowing what he wanted to ask, Chen Ziyan shook his head lightly and said, "It's fine for a short time, but there will be obvious flaws in the long run."

Little Fairy can indeed weave a long-term immersion in the illusion, but as long as the other party wakes up, they will quickly notice the sense of conflict between reality and illusion.

If it's an ordinary person, it's easy to talk about it, and it can be fooled by a little cover-up, but for the professionals sent by the Folklore Affairs Administration, as long as the other party regains consciousness, they will probably notice something is wrong.

"Then we can only recruit one more family." After getting a negative answer, Old Dog Wu was not too disappointed, and directly gave the backup plan he came up with.

It is obviously impossible for him to give up here directly, and since he can't be invisible now, he can only choose another way out.

Although doing so will share some of the benefits, it is better than getting nothing. (end of this chapter)
