Adventure Code

Chapter 241 Underground Ruins (10)

After I explained my analysis, Jin Le nodded and said, "That's right, it takes too long to search blindly, Xu Kaiyi won't do that."

I said; "The most likely thing is that he went straight down. The sun scepter is probably placed at the bottom. Finding the sun scepter is our goal. Then, the bottom is also the place where we finally meet."

Jin Le nodded thoughtfully: "...Moreover, if the sound of the signal whistle did not come from him, then when he heard the signal whistle, he would probably be led down like us. Take the same route, We're more likely to encounter it."

I said: "Yes."

At the moment, we hit it off and decided to continue down to the bottom of the pyramid.

What is more difficult at the moment is Xiao Zhanju and Doctor No. 2. Although they have been stopped by us, they are still struggling to drink soup as if they have taken drugs. Make a howling sound, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Fresh fruit, hot soup, all of this baffled me.

Could it be that these were really left by the Incas hundreds of years ago, as the little chrysanthemum speculated?Does this inverted pyramid really have that weird ability?

If the Incas were so miraculous, would they be wiped out by Western colonists?
Why do similar pyramids appear in distant America, separated from Egypt by sea?

At this moment we wanted to go down, but Xiao Zuoju and No. 2 really didn't cooperate, shouting and struggling. The doctor and I tried to take them down, but we were sweating profusely.

Now it will be difficult.

Both of us are wearing masks at the moment, which were originally used to keep out the rain and poisonous insects in the rainforest, and now we are using it to block the smell of the pot of soup.It doesn't do much, but it's better than nothing.

"Is there really any drug added to this soup?" I asked Jin Le.

He said: "It doesn't have to be drugs, it may be the secret recipe of spices."

secret recipe?

I was a little puzzled and asked him what he said.

Jin Le said: "Gold in America originally refers to spices. In the past, there were very few types of spices in the West. Later, the Portuguese took the lead in discovering the mystery of spices in America. At that time, spices were only enjoyed by the aristocrats, and the price was even higher than gold. Precious. Before the discovery of spices in the west, their life was very bad. Meat could not be marinated and preserved, and they often had to eat half-rotten meat. Meat had no spices to accompany it, and it had a primitive fishy smell. Even at that time, fruits were It is believed that it cannot be eaten raw. The appearance of spices has changed the diet structure of Westerners, prolonging their life expectancy, and preventing many diseases, so the description of gold in America at that time actually refers to spices everywhere.”

Eat half-rotten meat?
No wonder spices were so expensive at that time. Western aristocrats must have felt that they had opened the door to a new world.

Jin Le went on to say: "In Asia, India is the number one producer of spices, and China is the second. But even so, many spices in China are imported from the Americas, such as chili peppers being one of them."

I said, "I know that. Peppers were introduced into China before the Ming Dynasty." People before the Ming Dynasty didn't know what spicy food was.

He nodded and said: "So, as the largest origin of spices, the locals here are very familiar with their collocation and use. There is a saying that Indians are born gods of food, and they know how to use spices best Humans can produce rare delicacies in the world. However, when the Western colonists invaded, the Inca culture was completely destroyed, and these are just legends.”

I couldn't help but marvel.

If the food in these clay pots is not poisonous, but the food prepared by the Incas themselves, it would be incredible.

What Jin Le said is correct, although I have never eaten these soups, I know that this is indeed a rare delicacy in the world just by smelling it.

"I hope it's as you said, but I really don't think their insanity is just because they are tempted by delicious food."

Jin Le said: "So, there may indeed be something added in it. Now we bring them, it's a bit difficult, I think... it's better to send them to the upper floor, and wait until we find someone, and then join us."

In order to restrain Xiao Zouju and Doctor No. 2, Jin Le and I were sweating all over. It is really impossible to take them on the road again.So, I listened to Jin Le's suggestion, and the two of them worked hard to get the two of them to the fruit layer, put on masks for them, and then tied the two of them back to back, from head to toe.

After ensuring that the two of them had no chance to run to the next floor, Jin Le and I carried our equipment bags and left, passed through the soup layer, and went down to the lower floor.

With the experience of the upper two layers, I was not surprised when I saw the third layer.

The third layer is also pots made of clay, but they are relatively small, some are dish-shaped, and there are dry food inside. We only opened one, and we were almost taken away by the fragrance from inside.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and immediately put the lid back on, so I didn't follow in the footsteps of Xiao Zuoju and the others.

"This hellish place is too fucking torturous!" I just felt so hungry right now, so I took out the compressed biscuits and gnawed them angrily. Jin Le also gnawed the biscuits with me. After looking it over, I didn't see any clues.

We decided to move on.

When we walked to the next stairway, we found that this stairway was a little different.

This stairway is very small, not as big as the stairway above.

Not only that.The stairs above are all open, but this staircase obviously had a stone door before, but the stone door was obviously destroyed.

Judging from the irregular cracks around the stairs and the rocks rolled down from the bottom of the stairs, Jin Le and I estimated that someone should have carried out small-scale blasting.

Jin Le took a look and said, "Well, we were talking about protecting cultural relics before, but I didn't expect someone to blow up this place first." Then, he turned down the light.

ps: 9 and 10 were posted in the wrong order before, and have been corrected.
