Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 311 Proceeding Carefully
Hearing Xiao Ren's shout, Chen Ziyang and Instructor Liu turned their attention away from the jar containing the seeds, and the group hurried to Xiao Ren's vicinity, looking into the distance by the light of the flashlight in his hand.

At the end of the white flashlight beam, there seemed to be something protruding from the ground. With the shaking of Xiao Ren's flashlight, everyone saw more than one such thing.One by one such raised objects appeared in the field of vision of several people.Just as Instructor Liu was about to advance to the depths of this ancient treasure, Chen Ziyang suddenly made a gesture to him and stopped him.

"Be careful, let's not move forward. I have been thinking about a question just now. If I can't find the answer to this question, I think it is better for us not to move forward."

After waiting for more than ten years, Instructor Liu, who was finally about to see the result, became a little impatient. He asked Chen Ziyang, "What's your problem? Now everything is in front of us. Let's go forward and take a look at those things." Whether it is the treasure of this ancient country, let’s put aside any questions, after all, this is the most important thing.”

"Some things you think are too simple. Just now I was thinking that the position we are in now is a bit strange. Although on the surface, this underground space is not too far from the surface, this point has been changed since we left just now. You can see the slope of the slope you have passed.

But there is a question, have you ever wondered, just a few days ago, what was this place?This place is located under the yellow sand tens of meters deep. You should know better than me the pressure of the yellow sand tens of meters high. Why didn't it collapse here?Not even a little sign of collapse?
If we don’t understand this problem and we move forward rashly, if we are buried in it, no matter how important the treasure of this ancient country is, it doesn’t matter to us. "

After hearing what Chen Ziyang said, everyone lowered their heads in deep thought.Because the discovery of the treasure of the ancient country was too sudden, everyone except Chen Ziyang did not think of it. The fact is just like what Chen Ziyang described. Only a few days ago, this place was located in Huangsha. deep.

If the reason why this underground space can last so long under the pressure of tens of meters of yellow sand is because of some kind of delicate balance, it is very likely that the arrival of everyone, coupled with the opening of the gate of this ancient treasure, disrupts this delicate balance.If one is not careful, this balance is broken, and at that time, the underground space will completely collapse, so Chen Ziyang's concerns are not aimless, but very insightful.

It may be difficult for others to understand what Chen Ziyang meant, but Liu, who has been in the tomb robbery business for many years, thinks it is true. He knows that what Chen Ziyang said really needs to be paid attention to.

Because the desire to explore this treasure was too urgent, Instructor Liu ignored a lot of things. At this time, Chen Ziyang reminded him to react.After all, Chen Ziyang's attitude towards this ancient country's treasure is not as important as his own, so he can keep a calm head and look at the things in front of him in an objective way.

Chen Ziyang's words were like enlightenment, which woke up Instructor Liu, and he hurriedly said: "What you said is very reasonable, everyone listen, let's not speak too loudly, if we don't fully understand this underground space Before the structure of the building, let's not be too presumptuous, after all, one mistake may cause us to bury our bones here. If this place really collapses, none of us will be able to escape."

Among the five people in the entire team, only Instructor Liu is the one who cares most about the treasures of this ancient country. Now that even he said that, the others would have no objections.So all the people stopped in place, cautiously, not even daring to breathe out, for fear that the sound of their own breathing would destroy the balance of this underground space.

Seeing that several people were all so cautious, Chen Ziyang smiled and said to them: "You don't need to be like this, the voice we just opened the door was much louder than our voice, isn't it okay here.

According to my analysis, the reason why this underground space has been able to exist for so many years under the pressure of the tens of meters of yellow sand is that it must have its advantages, and this balance cannot be broken casually. , the meaning of my words is just to remind you to avoid some insignificant mistakes. After all, it is always right to be careful when sailing for thousands of years. "

After listening to his words, the others let out a sigh of relief.Because of Chen Ziyang's reminder just now, several people were all worried, and their hearts were in their throats, but after hearing these words, everyone felt very reasonable, so they let go of their hearts.

After all, based on time calculations, if the site of this ancient country is really the ancient country of Yumi, then this underground space has existed for at least 2000 years. What is the concept of 2000?For human beings whose lifetime is only a few decades, the length of this period of time cannot be measured at all.

But since the underground space of this ancient country can exist for 2000 years and still stand tall, it must have its unique place, and this unique place must be very strong and will not collapse casually.After figuring this out, everyone unanimously pointed their flashlight beams at the top of this underground space.

The height of this underground space is not too high, only a few meters, such a height of the roof is really negligible for a flashlight that can illuminate a distance of more than 100 meters, so everyone saw the strangeness scene.

The top of the entire underground space is covered with strips of vine-like things. These vines are about the thickness of a human finger, all of which are dark brown, one by one, densely covering the top of the entire underground space.Seeing this scene, everyone felt their scalps tingling. These vine-like things were so dense that it gave people a creepy feeling.

"Er Yang, what are these things? Could it be that the underground space has survived the pressure of the desert for so many years because of these things?" Yang Lei's question expressed everyone's concerns. Heartfelt, after all, there are too many vine-like things on everyone's heads.

Looking at the colors of these vines that made people feel very uncomfortable, Chen Ziyang touched his chin while thinking. He didn't pay attention to Yang Lei's question, but Yang Lei's words echoed in his heart.

There should be nothing wrong. Without the support of these vines, it is estimated that this underground space would have collapsed under the squeeze of yellow sand.But why are the colors of these vines so weird?Why have these vines not rotted over the years, but still maintain their original appearance?Chen Ziyang didn't think clearly about this point.

"How about it, can these things answer the questions in your mind? Let's move forward." Instructor Liu asked impatiently.

"The explanation makes sense, but have you ever thought about why these vines have not rotted for so many years? This is very unreasonable. Although I really want to move forward and end things here as soon as possible, I still think It's better to be cautious.

How about this, let's divide into two groups, explore the edge of this space in the left and right directions, look at the structure of the underground space, and it's not too late to move forward after you have figured everything out. After all, you have been waiting for so many years. Not bad for half a day and a day. "

So at Chen Ziyang's suggestion, the five people were divided into two groups. Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei were in a group, and Instructor Liu was in a group of three. They walked towards the left and right sides of this underground space, wanting to explore the boundaries here. .

This underground space is neither big nor small. Although in the very center where everyone is, the walls on both sides can be vaguely seen by the light of the flashlight, but there is nothing on the walls that no one can see. Clearly, everyone had no choice but to divide into two groups and walk to both sides.

When Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei reached the end of the side of this space, the two of them discovered that not only the top of this space was covered with such weird vines, even on the side walls of this space, they were also crawling. It is full of such dark brown vines.

These vines are all arranged horizontally, one by one, and even in some places, several vines are squeezed together.These vines were so dense that neither Chen Ziyang nor Yang Lei could see what the wall of the underground space below the vines looked like.

Yang Lei walked up to the side wall, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pull the vines to see what was going on.But these vines were all squeezed together, clinging to the wall, and the gap in the middle was very small. After trying a few times, he didn't put his fingers into the gap between the vines.

"Er Yang, this is really weird. These things look like plants on the surface, but come and touch them. They are as hard as steel bars. You can't even press them down. They are really too hard."

After listening to Yang Lei's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Chen Ziyang's eyes. He hurried over and squeezed the vines climbing on the side walls of the underground space with his fingers.

Just like what Yang Lei said, this doesn't look like a vine, it's just like a steel bar. The hardness of the vine has exceeded Chen Ziyang's imagination, and it has also exceeded his cognitive range.

These vine-like things are obviously the roots of some plants, whether it is from the texture of the vines or the pattern of some raised knots on the vines.But these vines were too hard. The feeling from his fingers told Chen Ziyang that the hardness of these vines was definitely beyond what ordinary plants could possess.

Taking out the military dagger that he carried with him, Chen Ziyang tentatively scratched the surface of these vines with the serrations on the back of the dagger, but no matter how hard he tried, the sharp serrations on the back of the dagger hand just couldn't move the vines. cut off.Under Chen Ziyang's rapid movement, the sharp serrated teeth on the back of the dagger could only draw a shallow trace on the surface of these vines.

Feeling the unreasonable hardness of these vines, Chen Ziyang also felt relieved. No wonder this underground space has existed for so long under the pressure of tens of meters of yellow sand. It turned out that it was due to the hardness of these plants.

After learning about the firmness of this underground space, Chen Ziyang also felt relieved. After all, although he agreed to help Instructor Liu open up the treasures of this ancient country, he couldn't afford to risk himself. Now seeing the firmness of this space Once the level was guaranteed, he was relieved.

Then the two groups of people got together and exchanged information with each other.The walls on both sides of the entire underground space were covered with such vines, which reassured everyone a lot. After seeing that Chen Ziyang's worries were unnecessary, Instructor Liu couldn't wait to pull Xiao Ren forward, toward the Go to those protrusions on the ground in the distance.

Instructor Liu, who ran forward in a hurry, came to the front of those raised things after a while, stopped there and looked at it for a long time, but Instructor Liu did not take any further action.Seeing the weird behavior of Instructor Liu, the others also quickened their pace, and soon stood with him.

At this time, in front of Instructor Liu was an oval hemisphere made of bricks similar to loess.Five people look at me and I look at you, but no one knows what this thing is for.

This hemisphere is about two meters long, one meter wide, and nearly one meter high.These loess bricks are neatly stacked, and it seems that they are man-made things.Looking around, several people are surrounded by such elliptical hemispheres. These weird buildings are not far away from each other, and they are next to each other. I don't know how many there are.

"What's in it? Let's open one and have a look?" Yang Lei asked.

"Don't act rashly, Instructor Liu. Although you and I have relatively little contact, I know that you are well-informed. Have you seen this kind of thing?" Chen Ziyang turned to Instructor Liu and asked.

After shaking his head, Instructor Liu didn't say a word, just squatted there, staring at this weird building carefully.

Seeing that no one answered his question, Yang Lei felt a little bored, so he took two steps to the side, using the flashlight in his hand to keep shining on these weird things in front of him.At this time, Yang Lei, who was looking east and west, suddenly found that not far away, there was such an oval-shaped building that seemed to have collapsed, and something was exposed from it.

Because he remembered Chen Ziyang's warning before, Yang Lei didn't act rashly, he quickly called everyone over, and showed everyone the weird place with his flashlight.

The collapsed building was not too far away, so everyone could see that there was indeed something under these loess lumps.

Instructor Liu and Chen Ziyang walked in the front and came to the side of the collapsed building first. After seeing the things inside, the two looked at each other and both took a breath.

Inside these elliptical hemispheres made of loess-like blocks was a dead body.
