Chapter 136 43. Ancient city towers and vehicle wreckage [two in one]

"What's so weird about this thing? Why do you have to destroy it once it appears?" Zheng Yun asked hastily.

Ji Dao spoke in Chinese, and those from the rescue team in white couldn't understand, so he didn't hide his question.

"I'm not too sure about this. There are no detailed records in Triton's ancient books, but logically speaking, this thing shouldn't exist here. It was wiped out a long time ago."

"I heard that the sound is a bit similar, but I'm not sure, because I've never heard this kind of call before, but it's very similar to the records, or maybe my guess is wrong, it should be given by the low temperature and extreme cold in this kind of place. freeze to death."

Ji Dao shook his head again and again.

"Any other ideas?" Zheng Yun asked again.

"It may also be a person, someone with some tongue and throat problems." Ji Dao quickly put forward another guess.

"This gap seems to be made by someone, maybe it was made by the scientific research team." Hu Ruihua said suddenly.

Others looked at the gap.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed the case. There are some traces of the ice saw sawing through the gap. Although there is no broken ice on the ground, it is likely that it fell into it and was pushed into the rift.

"It seems that they really came here, and they are obviously prepared, knowing what's down here."

Tiger said softly.

Everyone pondered in silence.

The matter is complicated and confusing, and the danger level is getting higher and higher. It is hard to imagine what is in this rift.

"Be more vigilant, it's not easy here." Zheng Yun sighed softly, it's not appropriate to retreat now, and go forward, if there are really weird things, then back out.

The archaeological team 20 years ago obviously entered a deeper place and was trapped in a certain place. The probability of a sudden accident and death is actually not very high.

After a break.

The crowd moved again.

They drilled a few ice nails in this ice valley, went deep into the ice layer, and then put ropes on them, and then connected them with the locks on everyone.

Even if something happens, you can come back.

Afterwards, they went on the road again, drilled through the gap into the rift valley, and stepped on a narrow path with a width of only one meter.

"Isn't this the city wall corridor?" Hu Zi glanced around, then suddenly turned to look at Ji Dao.

This narrow path is almost the same as the interlayer at the top of the ice crevasse that I saw before.

"Left or right?" Hu Ruihua asked.

"The sound is from the left, and the sound of ice-cracking is also on the left." Ji Dao didn't make a decision, but just described the situation.

"Looking at the traces on the ground, it seems to have gone to the left." Zheng Yun scanned the rift valley with a flashlight.

At the bottom of the rift is a river with slow water flow, mixed with some crushed ice, and steep white ice walls on both sides. There may be rock walls inside, but they can't be seen at present.

look to the left.

This path is also curved, with no end in sight at a glance, but there seem to be several gaps and forks in the middle.

Somewhat similar to videos from 20 years ago.

After confirming the direction, everyone set foot on this road one by one, and walked slowly towards the left hand direction. This time, let the ghost general walk in the front. Can shoot.

They were like a bunch of ants strung together by ropes, walking slowly on the steep ice wall. Fortunately, there was no wind in this rift valley. Although they walked slowly, every step was steady.

Walked about 300 meters.

The first fork appears.

The footprints on the ground showed that the scientific expedition team did not take this fork, but continued to move forward. Everyone looked to the left, and the fork was actually a cave with a small area.

keep going.

Ghost General suddenly turned his head to look at the rift below, and Hu Zi followed closely. The flashlight shone deep into the rift, only to see a dead body floating out of the glacier at the deepest part of the rift.

"look down!"

Huzi gasped and said in a low voice.

Only then did the others come to their senses, and flashlights shone together. The corpse was wearing professional winter clothing and was soaked face-down in the ice water. Neither man, woman nor appearance could be seen. They only knew that he was a modern person, floating out from the front.

But the information can be roughly extracted.

This person should have died not long ago. There was no ice anywhere on his body. He was still holding an ice ax in his hand. He probably fell from somewhere and was frozen to death.

In this situation, they couldn't intercept the corpse at all, they could only watch the corpse float downstream from their eyes.

"Be careful."

Zheng Yun warned again.

Everyone went on the road again, about 300 meters away, and a cave appeared on the left hand again, and there were two caves in succession, which made people wonder whether this place was man-made.

Then the road began to turn, following the trend of the rift valley, turning left. Just as they turned the corner, Zheng Yun and the others heard the sound of hitting the ice wall, right ahead!

The flashlight shines on the source of the sound.

A city wall suddenly appeared before their eyes!

The city wall is 40 meters high, lying in the rift valley, and it is all made of huge stones. There is an oriental tower on the top of the city wall, which is a little damaged but the whole is complete!
This scene is too scary.

Such an oriental ancient building was quietly hidden in the dark rift, and they suddenly revealed it with a flashlight without any psychological preparation, which made everyone's heart tremble.

The flashlight light source cannot illuminate the panorama, but if you scan around from left to right, you can roughly see that the city wall is in the style of the late Ming Dynasty, which is less than 200 years ago!

In addition, the gate of this city wall is wide open, and it looks like a dam at this time, and the crushed glacier flows out of the gate.

"What's the situation?" Huzi looked back at Zheng Yun. He had never heard Zheng Yun say that there was still a city wall.

"Ji Dao, what do you think?" Zheng Yun looked at Ji Dao, he still had to speak first.

"I haven't heard of it. Why did you build a city wall here? What is there in this place that needs a city wall to guard?" Ji Dao frowned, it seemed that he really didn't know, and he was also very puzzled .

"Then take a closer look."

Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to stride forward.

The people in front of them continued to move forward, and the people behind them could come around the corner. The three members of the white-clothed rescue team just saw the city and exclaimed softly that they didn't expect this scene.

But for a moment.

The crowd walked to the top of the city wall, which was about 150 meters below their feet, across the rift valley, more than 90 meters long and 20 meters wide, completely sealing the rift valley, leaving only the city gate for the glacier to pass through.

The tower on the city wall has four floors, with pointed eaves and awe-inspiring style. It belongs to the high-level tower of the late Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the city wall at a close distance, the shock in their hearts was even deeper, because it was hard for them to imagine where the huge stones that built the city wall came from, could it be that they were mined out of the ground?
"I didn't see any traces of battle. This tower seems to have never experienced war. Then what is it used for?"

Ji Dao murmured in his mouth.

If he can't understand it with his knowledge, other people will be blind, but Zheng Yun has a faint feeling.

The previous speculation was confirmed.

There must be a shocking secret in this place, and its importance is so high that it cannot even be recorded in the ancient books of Tiangong. As for the map of Changsheng Xianfu, it should be from a different age.

But the age gap does not mean that the Longevity Immortal Mansion Map is useless, at least it records the Earth Aperture and the Cold Immortal Cave.

The ancients made great efforts to build the city wall in this place, which must be related to the Earth Aperture Hanxian Cave. It may be to guard against something, but it may also be using the Earth Aperture and the Cold Immortal Cave.

Thinking back to Zhang Kuixi, the traitor of Triton, he could use the characteristics of Yuxun to command sea monsters, and built a tower for pregnant monsters in the fog-shrouded sea islands and reefs.

Besides, the Underworld Pavilion, the size of the ground pavilion plus the attic is not much smaller than this city wall, and it was built abruptly in the tropical rainforest, requiring no less manpower and material resources.

These people can.

A serious Triton will certainly be able to.

And if Triton really wants to guard against or use a certain place of ghosts and ghosts, it means that this place is not ordinary.

However, it is still uncertain whether this place was built by Triton, or whether it was some kind of traitor or vassal king. It can only be said that the ancient oriental people had this ability.

"There should be more than one city tower, there should be more in front." Ji Dao raised his flashlight and swept forward.

But I can't see clearly.

There is nothing within at least a kilometer ahead.

"Let's go." Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to move forward again, and everyone moved forward cautiously, rope to rope.

There are obvious footprints on the ground along the way. The people of the scientific expedition team wore ice spikes, and the white spots on the ground are traces.

After going hundreds of meters deep.

There is a gap in the left hand direction.

This is another man-made gap, but it is very old, and it was punched in from the outside.

Everyone stepped out of the gap and looked around.

It is still an open-air ice valley steep on three sides, and there is a gap at the end of the ice valley. This is obviously a "robbed hole", and it is more accurate than the scientific expedition team.

They came straight into the city walls.

"There is a car!" Huzi suddenly ran to the corner, pulled out the ice ax and pulled Baixue away, revealing several iron frames.

This is actually a burned off-road vehicle!Most of them are frozen in the ice, only the small frame is exposed.

Take a quick look around.

There are as many as seven or eight vehicles!
Zheng Yun's pupils shrank, this is where the archaeological team burned their snowmobile 20 years ago!Swipe left and right, and you can see some traces of life in the ice valley.

"How did this car get in? How did it get burned?" The white-clothed rescue team members were even more puzzled.

"Come in from the opening on the other side?" The captain in white held a flashlight and walked towards the opening on the other side.

Hu Ruihua and the others followed immediately. This issue was also critical, and they could retreat in time if there was an exit.

But the result was very strange.

That gap turned out to be a deep ice cave, with a dead end inside, and it was integrated with the entire iceberg. It was impossible to break it through, and it was impossible for cars to drive in.

"Fuck, what's going on?"

Huzi felt his scalp numb and immediately looked around, trying to find another way out of the mountain, but no matter how he looked at it, the three sides of this triangular ice valley were too steep.

The ice valley is huge.

But this kind of terrain is obviously a crack between several icebergs. Unless the snowmobile is almost vertically rushed down from the mountain, it is impossible for a car to enter.

"Could it be that it was hoisted in by a helicopter?" Hu Ruihua also rarely began to speculate without any reason.

It's so weird.

The rocky path they came in was only one meter wide, and it was impossible for the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu to drive in.

And there is absolutely no such thing as saying that the road was originally several meters wide, but later became one meter wide.

For the walls are dead.

The width of the city wall limits the width of the rock path, and with such a steep rock path, who would dare to drive?
"What does the helicopter crane come in for? It's meaningless. Did the car fall from the mountain?"

Huzi looked up at the iceberg.

"Don't guess, it should be blocked by someone. This gap was made up later." Zheng Yun said suddenly.

He had watched the car burning video 20 years ago. The group of people didn't say a word, they burned the car in a hurry with torches, and even used gasoline, hoping that the fire would be bigger.

Although no one speaks in the video.

I don't know why they did this, but their desperate expressions and demeanor can be seen through the video. They definitely choose to burn the car when they have no way out.

Combined with what Song Wan said before, some people suspect that the accident 20 years ago was related to the Orientals, who killed them and let them die in the valley.

If this is true and there is indeed a third party intervening in this matter, then a simple conclusion can be drawn.

The gap on the opposite side was opened at first. The archaeological team 20 years ago opened the gap on the opposite side very precisely, and drove in through this gap.

Then they made another gap on this side, directly hitting the inside of the city wall, and for some unknown purpose, got out of the car and entered this gap to explore.

As a result, when they come back.

Only to find that the opening on the opposite side was blocked.

They must have tried to open the gap again, but after playing for a long time, only a deep cave was opened, and the previous way of origin disappeared inexplicably, and they could not get out.

That snowmobile is useless.

And if this is the case.

Then their only way out is to walk the rift valley, follow the narrow rock path, and go back in one breath.

They are likely lost.

Or being trapped here deliberately by 'some people'.

In the end, the last thing happened. A group of people squatted in a small ice cave, relying on the burning wood of ancient buildings for warmth, and quarreled fiercely. The video of the photographer leaving his last words in pain.

Zheng Yun remembered it clearly.

There were more than a dozen people in the last video.

The outside of the ice cave was pitch black, and the people in the cave built a bonfire and quarreled around the bonfire, while the beams and columns of oriental buildings, as well as bucket arches and carved beams were burned in the fire.

When they quarreled, they said that their group was trapped in the ice cave for more than ten days, with no hope of getting out. The three groups of people who went out to explore the way did not return, and they may have died.

Basically right.

But what they demolished may not be the ancient city tower, and the place where they died in the end is likely to be deeper.

"It was patched up?" Huzi was taken aback, how can this thing be patched up, and built with brick walls?

"It's not important." Zheng Yun shook his head, it doesn't matter whether the gap is blocked or not.

The problem now is that history is repeating itself. Today, 20 years later, another scientific expedition team of [-] people came, like a "stealing hole", and entered here through a gap.

And they died again.

But this time there is no 'Oriental' to 'interfere' with them. I waited for someone to come over, and they stopped cooking before they started, and the corpses came out along the glacial river...
