Chapter 314 Channel Structure

"I thought much more than you did before. I calculated that with my current physical condition, it is impossible to get out of this desert without a car. Otherwise, when you came back here before , I have already gone out of the desert alone.

And have you ever thought about it, I think the reason why Instructor Liu and the others were able to hand over the weapons to us so happily is because they are confident enough that even if the weapons are in our hands, they can still deal with us.

I also have a very strange feeling, I think Commander Ushishi should have called for rescuers, but for some reason, they never showed up to rescue the two of us.

So don't think about other things for now, maybe now, following them to go inside is the most correct choice. "

"Can you be sure?"

"I'm not sure, but think about it, the last time I told you about the NMG Jue Yin, I just called Liu Cong, and they arrived two days later.

Although the time between was short, Liu Cong was well prepared no matter in terms of manpower or material resources. In addition to the time it took to drive to NMG, it can basically be inferred that Liu Cong and the others should have emergency personnel and materials and equipment. to deal with such emergencies.So after receiving my call, they were able to set off right away and arrived at NMG two days later.

I think that after Shuai Sanshi went out, Liu Cong should be the first person he looked for. After all, only Liu Cong and the others have the strength to fight against Instructor Liu, and only they can help us.

But don't you think it's weird this time?After Shuai Shanshi left the ancient tomb, we stayed there for five or six days. According to common sense, Liu Cong and the others should have appeared long ago.

But until now, they haven't heard from them at all. I guess it's not that they haven't found us, but they've been following us in the dark. Maybe they're in this strange passage now, following behind us secretly. .As long as we can reach the end of the tomb and find the treasures of this so-called ancient country of Mi Mi, by that time, it is very likely that they will appear. "

After hearing these words, Yang Lei felt relieved a lot.In addition to these reasons, there is actually another reason why Chen Ziyang did not tell Yang Lei, and that is about his left arm and something deep in the passage calling him.

But he knew that it would be useless to tell Yang Lei about these things, and he might be teased by Yang Lei's mouth, so he might as well not talk about them.Anyway, there is no better way to go now, it is better to explore first.

Just as the two of them finished talking, Instructor Liu shouted over there, telling them to hurry over.

The matter was just as Chen Ziyang guessed. Now in front of Instructor Liu, there is also an obvious groove mark in the center of this huge stone wall.After taking out the diamond, Chen Ziyang adjusted the angle of the diamond, and then put the diamond into the groove.

At the moment when the diamond was just inserted into the groove, a burst of white light suddenly flashed from the diamond, and the white light instantly radiated along the lines on the stone wall connecting the groove, and all the lines on the entire stone wall disappeared at this moment. It lit up, followed by a bang, with the groove as the center, a small stone door on the left and right sides opened back at the same time, and a huge entrance appeared on the stone wall.

Instructor Liu couldn't wait to walk in from the entrance, and the others followed.After crossing this huge stone wall, Chen Ziyang found that the ground here was very different from the previous sandy land.

Taking this huge stone wall as the dividing line, the ground of the passage behind the stone wall is actually full of rocks. Although there are still a lot of yellow sand on it, it can be seen that these are just floating sand on the ground. The real ground here is indeed rock.

"Er Yang, have we traveled through? Is this door a teleportation door? Why does it seem like you are no longer in the desert once you pass through this door?" Seeing this sudden change, Yang Lei asked strangely.

"There is nothing surprising about this. Deserts are originally formed after the weathering of rocks. After a large amount of rocks are weathered, a large amount of sand and gravel are formed, that is, deserts.

To put it bluntly, the desert is actually thick sand and gravel piled up together. If you dig up all the sand, then the bottom of the desert is still rocks. No matter how big or deep the desert is, it cannot escape this rule. It is impossible for a desert to go directly to the center of the earth.

Generally speaking, the thickness of the sand layer in the desert is 70 to 50 meters, which is relatively deep. Even if the sand layer in the desert we are in is deeper, it is not that deep. All the [-]-meter-thick sand above was blown away, and this depth basically reached the bottom of the desert.

In addition, it is very likely that this ancient country was not built in the center of the desert, but on the edge of the desert, which was submerged by the later expanded desert, so the sand layer above it is not too thick.

Because of the blocking of this stone wall, the rock behind the stone wall weathered very slowly, and it was better preserved, so this phenomenon occurred. "

"You are much better at playing tricks than I am. You can say everything right out of your mouth. Although I don't know if you are lying to me, your words have convinced me. It's a pity, if you kid Speaking of cross talk, it has developed much more than it does now.”

Instead of arguing with Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang was thinking about what he just said.The main reason why the rocks here have not turned into sand grains is that the rocks here are weathered very slowly, but the blocking of a single stone wall should not have such an obvious effect.

When walking on the road in front of the stone wall, Chen Ziyang felt that the ground seemed a little harder. Looking back now, it is very likely that the surface layer of sand there is already very shallow.

Originally, this point could be judged from the geological structure on both sides and the top of the passage, but these three walls are all covered with this kind of strange plants, and it is impossible to see what it looks like, so this point has been ignored by him all the time. .

It seems that the deeper you go, the less weathered this passage is.What he said just now reminded Chen Ziyang, coupled with the strange change of direction of this passage, he had a rough guess, took out the compass, and after adjusting the direction, Chen Ziyang basically knew the direction of this passage. The channel is weird for a reason too.

After walking for a while, the plants on the three walls of the passage became thicker and thicker, already as thick as human thighs. The roots of these plants were squeezed together, one on top of the other, and one layer on top of the other. The entire passage has become much narrower.

Xiao Ren, who was following instructor Liu, stopped suddenly and stared at a root system on the side wall of the passage. The other people were attracted by his weird behavior and all moved closer.It turned out that a sharp, thorn-like object grew out of this root.

This sharp thorn is about the thickness of a human's thumb and a few centimeters long. It can be clearly seen that this sharp thorn grows directly from the root system of the plant, not embedded in it.

Although there are many roots of this kind of plant in the place where everyone walked before, the surface of these roots is relatively smooth, and there is no such spike-shaped object.

Xiao Ren stared at the sharp thorn on the root carefully, then he stretched out his finger and pressed on the tip of the thorn.

But no one thought that the thorns growing from the roots of the plants would be very sharp. Xiao Ren just lightly touched his finger, and his finger was pierced by the tip of the thorn. A drop of blood was left on the spike.

Under the pain, Xiao Ren quickly retracted his fingers, put them into his mouth and sucked. "Grandma, why is this thing as sharp as a stone needle!"

"Don't worry too much. It's strange to have a thorn growing on a plant. Go forward quickly." Under the urging of instructor Liu, the five people continued to walk deep into the passage. When the spike was stabbed, the drop of blood hanging on the spike was absorbed in an instant.

After inhaling this drop of blood, the spike on the root actually grew slightly, and even the root below the spike seemed to be a little more shiny.

Because the air circulation in the passage is relatively poor, although the air here is breathable, the entire passage is unbearably hot and stuffy. After walking for a while, everyone is sweating profusely and can no longer walk.

As everyone moved forward, more and more spikes appeared on the roots of these plants on both sides of the passage, denser and longer.At the beginning, these spikes appeared only every few meters. Later, the root system of the plant became thicker and thicker, and the spikes on it became more and more dense. Even until now, the root system of the whole plant is covered with Such spikes.

While advancing, Chen Ziyang kept paying attention to the pointer of the compass in his hand, until the pointer pointed to the north again, he said to everyone: "It's almost there, I can't walk anymore, let's rest here today , I have something to tell you, I have already figured out what is going on with this passage."

Although Instructor Liu is very anxious about this ancient country's treasure, after all, he can't eat a fat man in one bite. After walking for a day, everyone's physical strength has dropped very badly. Coupled with the sultry air around him, he can't walk anymore. , So several people sat around together on the ground, and showed Chen Ziyang a look of please.

"When we first entered this passage, the passage was facing the true north. Then I found that our direction had changed. Up to this point, the pointer on my compass told me that our direction had changed again. For due north.

According to my guess before, this channel is arc-shaped, but because the arc is relatively small and the field of view is not good, we didn't notice this.But now we have turned around exactly, but you see, we are still deep in the passage, and have not returned to the place where we entered the passage at the beginning.

Since we passed the huge stone wall, there has been very little yellow sand. The ground here is all rocky, which proves that the degree of weathering of the rocks here is relatively small.Generally speaking, the closer to the ground in the desert, the slower the rock weathering due to the climate and geographical location.

It is also the rocky ground here that reminded me that, in this light, there is only one explanation that is more reasonable, that is, this passage was built in a spiral way extending underground, as if it was built on those tall mountain peaks. It is the same as the Panshan Road built above.

It's just the same as the arc of this passage, because this passage is too long and the slope extending downward is too small, so we have never discovered that we are actually walking down. "

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, everyone lowered their heads and pondered for a while, then nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"Although the structure of the passage has been clarified, I always feel that this passage is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I think it is necessary for us to exchange information now. After all, such a large project is inconceivable to me. Even if it is built now, it is very difficult, not to mention that it was 2000 years ago, and it was an ancient country with a sparse population on the edge of the desert.

The Art of War also says not to fight unprepared battles. If we go forward so rashly, we may encounter many unknown dangers. There are only a few of us. If something happens to us, we will take care of each other. There is no chance, so I hope that everyone will not hide their secrets at this time, and can synthesize all the information together, which will help us safely open the treasures of this ancient country. "

While saying these words, Chen Ziyang kept staring at Instructor Liu, and he was speaking to Instructor Liu.After all, up to now, he is the only person who really has a certain understanding of this ancient country's treasure.

After thinking for a while, Instructor Liu said to Chen Ziyang: "It's not the time yet. I will tell you when the time comes."

Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, Chen Ziyang sighed, and took Yang Lei to a place far away from Instructor Liu to rest.

In order to prevent Instructor Liu from snatching the weapon back, after discussing for a while, the two decided to take turns to rest. Although neither of them would have a good rest in this way, it was better than being another prisoner again.

Lying there, Chen Ziyang thought carefully about what happened that day.Although there was no danger in this mysterious passage during the whole day, he felt that the treasures of this ancient country were not simple, and the danger might be very great.

And instructor Liu is still hiding his secrets until now, and Chen Ziyang can't figure out why he has been refusing to tell. After all, he has followed him so far, and it is impossible to turn back. It seems that there are many hidden things in it. The truth may not be as simple as you think.

After a night of rest in the sweltering passage, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei dragged their tired bodies and continued to walk forward with Liu instructor and others.

After a while, another row of steles appeared in front of the passage, but this time the row of steles was not a whole side, but composed of small stone steles.
