endless route.

Chapter 134 41. Man-made traces and confidentiality levels of ancient books [two in one]

Not long after, everyone got into the car, drove the snowmobile down the slope of the ice valley, fired a flare into the sky, and drove deep into the gloomy ice valley.

Under the bright yellow light.

The whole ice valley can be seen at a glance, the east and west sides are long and narrow, winding without end, like a dragon vein, but it is difficult for them to see the whole picture in the valley.

Walked along the ground for a long time.

Several vehicles drove carefully to the bottom of the ice valley.

Hu Ruihua and others got out of the car and carefully checked the thickness of the ice layer in the ice valley. They were afraid that this place, like the ice valley where the white-clothed rescue team went, might shatter into an ice lake at any time.

"It's like a river."

Xiao Hu said to Zheng Yun in front of the car.

"Is there water below?" Zheng Yun turned his head to look at Ji Dao. He said before that he heard the sound of water, but when he asked him to listen to it just now, he didn't mention it. I don't know if there is.

"Yes, but it's very deep inside." Ji Dao nodded and pointed towards the crack in the ice.

Zheng Yun nodded, and waited for Hu Ruihua and the white-clothed rescue team to come back with the detector and share the detection results.

"The ice is very thick, enough for a snowmobile to go up." Hu Ruihua said briefly, and everyone got into the car, drove the snowmobile into the ice valley, and found a suitable place to camp.

What follows is a series of probes.

They and the white-clothed rescue team are fully equipped, and the white-clothed rescue team is more professional and has a lot of equipment.

However, the scientific expedition team suspected that they were [-] kilometers away from this ice crevasse, and no instruments could detect it.

People have to go in.

Everyone discussed it and decided to send some people in first, with ropes on their bodies, to explore the way.

Twelve kilometers is too far.

If the road conditions are good, they can also choose to drive in and follow the car marks on the ground deep into it.

"Get ready to go in." Zheng Yun asked Ji Dao and the others to make some preparations. This time they will definitely come in. Ji Dao and the ghost general will be brought with them, so they can deal with whatever happens.

After a while.

Zheng Yun brought six people here, leaving Xiao Hu and Sister Song Wan to watch the car, and the rescue team in white clothes also sent out five people, a total of eleven people, all ready to go into the cave.

The rescue team in white brought two sleds, which can be dragged on the ground, and other equipment can be put in.

Counting the equipment in detail, it can be called everything, several oxygen cylinders, a lot of emergency food and supplies, and a large number of detection equipment, which filled the sled to the brim.

"lets go."

Everyone walked towards the ice crevasse.

The ice crack is very high, like an ice cone placed upside down, with a height of 70 meters and a width of only [-] or [-] meters.

Standing in front of the crack, people have an indescribable sense of fear, which mainly comes from the worry about the stability of the iceberg structure, and partly comes from the unknown depth.

too dark.

The flashlight went in, but it couldn't shine very deep, and was blocked by the zigzagging cracks and folds, making it impossible to see directly to the end.

"The temperature is minus 34 degrees, but there is basically no wind in the rift valley, and the humidity is not bad. The body temperature is about minus 20 degrees." The captain of the white-clothed rescue team said.

"It might be warmer than outside." Huzi answered, raising the flashlight to shine on the top of the crevasse.

"What are these balloons?" Hu Ruihua squatted in front of the balloons on the ground, wearing a mask and asking.

"It should be for detection. I've seen something similar before." The captain in white squatted down and glanced.

Without staying too much at the opening of the crack, everyone walked back and forth into the crack, divided into two teams, and connected their bodies with ropes and live rope locks, leaving the end of the rope on the side of the snowmobile.

Let go of the rope while walking.

At the end of the team in white was a strong man of Viking descent. He was two meters tall and weighed more than 300 kilograms.

Zheng Yun didn't have that condition here. If Huzi wanted to explore the way, he could only let Ji Dao and Ghost General follow behind. The two of them are also amazingly strong, and the final effect should not be much worse than the other side.

"After entering, the temperature has become a little higher, minus 33 degrees." The captain in white said.

"There may be underground rivers in it, and there may be volcanoes in the ground. Are there any near here?" Hu Ruihua asked.

"There should be no volcanoes. Most of the volcanoes in the glacier mountains are scenic spots. There should be no omissions, but there may be magma underground." The captain in white shook his head.

"The terrain in the glacier is very complicated. Once before, we discovered an ice crack hole that was a thousand meters deep. The opening was only the size of a palm, and the depth was thousands of square meters. When we detected the depth, it was a pure rock rift, which was very strange." A member of the other party answered.

"What's the altitude now?" Zheng Yun asked suddenly.

"It's about 400 meters. The ice valley we passed just now is only 93 meters above sea level." The captain in white raised his watch and gave the answer.

After a few words of communication, they had already penetrated hundreds of meters into the ice crevasse. The temperature inside was indeed not low. Although the thermometer showed minus [-], they didn't feel particularly cold when their faces were exposed, only their respiratory tract and ears were cold.

Everyone gradually reduces communication.

Looking around with a flashlight, the ground in this crack is flat and smooth, and an obvious multi-layer structure can be seen. It should be that the water flow has frozen into ice, freezing from above to below.

Seemingly dangerous.

But there are indeed car marks on the ground.

The scientific expedition team seemed to have really driven the car in. I don't know what they wanted to venture in.

After going about 500 meters deep, everyone can only see some household garbage on the ground, and the twists and turns and width are the same. I don’t know how far to go to the end.

After some discussion, everyone decided not to drive. The inside of the ice crevasse is too narrow. If a car enters, it will restrict people's range of activities. If something happens, they will not be able to get out, and people will be blocked inside, making it impossible to get out in time.

"continue."

Zheng Yun made a decision.

The more you look at this place, the more it looks like Song Wan found it. In the last few clips of those videos, the photographer found the frozen giant bear and the place where he took the last selfie.

In fact, other videos can also be matched.

There is a video that the archaeological team discovered a broken ice lake 20 years ago and dived down to find the 'entrance'.

Although it is not exactly the same as the crushed ice lake found by the white rescue team, it is likely to be due to changes in water levels, or a homologous lake within the twelve kilometers.

Yes, it can be matched.

This is all the more disturbing.

Because the archaeological team 20 years ago did a few things that Zheng Yun couldn't understand, such as burning his own snowmobile, and being trapped in a place with ancient buildings.

The video Song Wan found was only a part of it, and no one knew what they had experienced before they died.

Also.

Why does this seem to have something to do with the 'ground orifice'? The 'entrance' is at the bottom of the broken ice lake, is it possible that it is an orifice?Can it be filled or vacated by glacier lakes?

"The passage seems to be widening?" Huzi suddenly reminded him in a low voice, but his flashlight was facing the sky.

He kept looking at the top of his head, afraid that some huge ice block would fall and kill them all, but fortunately there were no ice picks above their heads, and the ice wall looked solid.

Everyone looked up.

The higher and narrower ice crevasses suddenly widened a lot, and the layers became very complicated, like the sandwich ceiling made by city people when decorating the living room, as if there was a small path to walk between the highest point and the dome.

"Why does it look like a maze? That structure is like a passageway on a city wall." Ji Dao said suddenly, he didn't know where this place was, but his instinct was that there was something wrong.

"It's only a few hundred meters away, and you can tell it's a maze?" Hu Zi was startled and said in disbelief.

Zheng Yun also looked back at Ji Dao.

What he said is indeed a bit scary. If there are artificial traces here, or the traces of the ancients, then he can hardly imagine that there is something worthy of such a thing here.

"It's hard to say, it's just a bit like it." Ji Dao looked forward, and the passage was still unfathomable: "This is a dangerous place, a model of easy defense and difficult attack. Only a few thousand soldiers and horses can make hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses unable to attack."

"Who will attack here?" Hu Ruihua asked back.

"It's hard to say, such as treasonous feudal lord? The court had to come and exterminate it?" Ji Dao guessed again.

But this is a bit unreasonable. Even if there is some vassal king who chooses to escape because of his rebellion, this endless route is very large, and he shouldn't come to such a place where no shit.

"It's a bit far-fetched." Zheng Yun commented.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Ji Dao shook his head immediately.

Everyone continued to move forward.

After walking nearly 1000 meters, the body temperature is getting higher and higher, and the passage is still narrow and tortuous.

The ice walls on the left and right are becoming more and more transparent. With a little hand rubbing a smooth place, you can see far away when the flashlight shines in. It looks like a light blue gem, and impurities can be seen.

Various instruments have not been found yet.

It feels the same as when I first came in.

A group of them walked in this ice crevasse. If they looked down from a high place, they looked very small, like a few ants. Only the flashlight beams in each of their hands were very large, and more than a dozen beams of light swept around in the dark crack.

Blindness is possible in Glacier Mountains.

But it was different in the rift valley. There was light blue everywhere. The flashlight was placed on the ice wall, and the entire ice wall emitted blue light, like a huge sapphire that could glow.

This method of lighting is stronger than direct flashlights. Five or six flashlights can illuminate the entire passage from the inside, as if walking in a dreamy luminous cave.

It's a pity that they are not here to travel.

"The road has become downhill." Hu Ruihua, who was the least, spoke first, and there was a short downhill road ahead.

"About how many meters?" Zheng Yun asked.

"One-and-a-half kilometers, one-eighth of it." The captain in white replied immediately, and the rope in his hand was marked.

"Take a rest and maintain your strength." Hu Ruihua said, and then asked everyone to eat, drink, and breathe some oxygen.

"Could it be like this all the way?" Hu Zi scratched his scalp through his winter hat, a little worried about the situation.

"There seems to be a fork in the road over there." Ji Dao said suddenly, he just used his gloves to rub a smooth surface on the ice wall, like a window, and went in with a flashlight to observe.

Then he actually saw something.

After hearing the words, everyone immediately walked around him and began to rub against the ice wall to wipe off the roughness and hoarfrost on the surface, and even cut off part of it with ice blades to make several 'sections'.

This section of ice is extremely transparent. Ji Dao put his flashlight on the ice wall, and everyone else can see through and see a hundred meters away without a light source.

There are many impurities in the ice wall, including frozen marine life, some weird cracks like ant holes, some air bubbles and broken ice, but none of this affects the line of sight.

Everyone can vaguely see that at the end of the light blue ice layer, where the flashlight is not very clear, there is another rough outer layer about a few hundred meters away.

Just saw the head.

Line of sight cannot penetrate this layer.

The problem is that the rough layer is completely blocked, and all the places they can see, up, down, left, and right, are all this layer.

It's not supposed to happen, if the ice is monolithic or continuous, then they should be able to see elsewhere anyway, the line of sight will stretch out.

Since not.

Then there are only two possibilities. One is that there is an impurity layer in the middle of the iceberg that runs through the entire iceberg, and the other is that this layer is actually another ice crack, the same as the current one.

The possibility of the former is too low. This is an iceberg. How can there be impurity layers that grow vertically?Or a whole vertical section?Unless it is the accumulation and extrusion of icebergs, but if so, then to put it bluntly, it is still a crack, only a matter of size.

"I'm afraid it's really a fork in the road, but how did this come about? It's very unreasonable." Huzi trembled.

Ji Dao's previous words were still in his ears. He suspected that there were man-made traces in this place, which might have something to do with the ancients.

Is this ice crevasse man-made?

How is this possible?

"Go ahead." Zheng Yun withdrew his gaze.

He is also suspicious of this matter. There is no record of this place on the Changsheng Immortal Mansion Map. Logically speaking, if the ancients came here to do something, the Immortal Mansion Map will definitely have a record.

But it is not written on the map of Xianfu.

Whether it is the Earth Aperture or the Hanxian Cave, they only record the "discovery process" and do not record the subsequent things.

The priority of the Longevity Immortal Mansion Map should be higher than other ancient books. Ji Dao guarded the Tiangong for more than ten years. He had nothing to do and read countless ancient books related to the land of gods and ghosts.

But he didn't know there was an orifice here.

The previous Tiangong Pavilion and Three Demon Island were recorded in the ancient books of Tiangong, but this time, the ancient books of Tiangong are not complete.

That's weird.

In fact, a similar situation happened last time in the Demon Pregnant Tower. The ancient books of Tiangong did not record the truth, only known about Qianzhou Strait and Three Demon Island, but not the Demon Pregnant Tower.

That time may have involved the level of 'secrecy'. Places like the Pregnant Demon Tower are related to Triton's treason and vassal kings. It is estimated that Triton deliberately concealed the news.

Now they are also missing information.

The chain of ancient boats on the Chuantou Glacier must be man-made. The archaeological team used ancient buildings to keep warm 20 years ago, which means that there must be man-made buildings in the depths of this place.

The ancients did do some things.

But there is no record of it anywhere.

Is it because of the age?When was the picture of Changsheng Xianfu compiled?If Triton or the ancients did things, it was later than the compilation and drawing of the Changsheng Xianfu map and the Tiangong ancient books.

Then these ancient books will indeed become invalid.

Or is it because of the 'Secret' level again this time?There are some things involved here, not only the ancient books of Tiangong, but also things that can't be recorded even in the map of Changsheng Xianfu?
What is this?
