The moment Gai Wancheng and the two of us looked at Du Junguangliang, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

There really is an underground grotto below, and Du Jun's current position is hanging in the center of the grotto.

There was nothing at all except those huge rhizomes around Du Jun, not even walls, and there was a vacuum below.

But these were only part of what Gai Wancheng and the two of us saw. As Du Jun pulled up the climbing rope and threw it down along a hollow area and continued to slide downwards, Gai Wancheng and the two of us were completely shocked.

Du Jun was nowhere to be seen.

Because now Du Jun's body has been completely obscured by those thick roots.

Seeing that Du Jun was no longer visible, Gai Wancheng and the two of us retracted our bodies.

Li Kun asked from above: "Old Liu, what's going on down there? Can you see anything?"

I shook my head and said: "There is a vacuum zone down here. Only after we go down can we know what is going on down there. Let's wait here for news about Du Jun."

Li Kunao made a sound, and then sat down on the edge of the pit, and everyone began to wait where they were.

About ten minutes later, I heard a burst of noise from the walkie-talkie hanging on my shoulder.

When they saw the intercom making noise, everyone turned to look at me.

Then I heard Du Jun's voice coming from the intercom: "Hey, can you hear me?"

I said: "Lao Du, how is the situation down there?"

Du Jun gasped and said: "There is a way down here. You can come down. I have tied the rope. You can just come down directly along the rope."

Hearing this, everyone felt happy.

I said: "Lao Du, please pay attention to your surroundings first, we will come down right now."

Du Jun responded at the other end, and then I waved to everyone and said: "Du Jun has found a passable road, let's hurry up and get down."

Hu Dalong jumped down from above, and then said: "I'll go down and take a look first. I'm getting anxious after waiting for so long."

With that said, Hu Dalong directly picked up the carabiner and hung it on the climbing rope.

Seeing Hu Dalong's anxious look, I smiled bitterly and said, "Then please pay attention to your safety. There are all those huge roots down here, so be careful."

Hu Dalong nodded, and then Hu Dalong turned around and slowly slid down.

When Du Jun called us again to continue, everyone began to enter the cave one by one.

I was the last one to come down. When everyone had arrived safely, I grabbed the climbing rope and started to slowly slide down from the entrance of the cave.

What you see from above is one scene, but when you hang in the sky and look around, it's another scene.

Just after I slid down four or five meters along the entrance of the hole, the appearance of the circular hole completely changed.

After coming down from the circular hole, the surrounding scene suddenly became extremely dark.

I turned my head and looked around. When I used the light above my head to look around, I saw darkness ahead.

I can only see dense tree roots slowly spreading from my side to the surroundings. The thinnest tree roots here are about half a meter in diameter, and most of the tree roots are close to two meters in diameter.

Even huge rhizomes more than three meters wide.

And these rhizomes are actually soaring in the air and spreading around. It is not known where these thick roots lead.

There was a thick rhizome under my feet at this time. As soon as I got on the rhizome, I turned around and started to slowly slide down from the top of the rhizome.

Just as I was passing through this rhizome, I looked down and saw that everyone was on my right side.

I turned around and saw that everyone was standing on the stone wall on the far right, and there was a step slowly going down under their feet.

But I looked at them as if they were staring at something on the wall, because I was about forty or fifty meters away from the wall, and I couldn't see clearly what they were looking at.

I looked down and saw that the end of the rope was tied to a thick root below by Du Jun.

And this rhizome extends to the wall where everyone is.

Seeing this, I also breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly began to slide downwards.

When I finally landed on the rhizome, I looked down and saw that the distance below from the ground was still almost forty or fifty meters away.

It seems that the depth of our guesses above is still too little.

The total length of the climbing ropes we took is more than 30 meters. If we add the depth below, doesn't it mean that the depth here is already at least 70 meters?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. What on earth did the Zhali tribe want to build such a large underground mausoleum underground?

I'm afraid it would take at least a few years to build this giant grotto that is more than 70 meters underground by relying on the Zhali people.

I don’t know how much patience the Zhali people have to build such a huge underground grotto.

I shook my head, then turned to look at where everyone was.

At this time, I heard Xu Tian hurriedly yelling at me from the stone wall to hurry over and tell me they had made some important discovery.

After listening to Xu Tian's words, I was also puzzled. Could it be that they had discovered something?

Then I carefully started walking on the huge rhizome under my feet.

Looking at the height of 40 to 50 meters below, if a person who is afraid of heights were to walk here, he would probably not be able to straighten his legs.

In addition, it is extremely dark here, and even the beam of a flashlight cannot illuminate the bottom of the grotto. Even when I look at it, I feel a little faint.

I slowly walked from where the roots were to where everyone was.

When I was about to arrive in front of everyone, Li Kun turned around and said to me: "Old Liu, hurry up and see what is going on."

As he said that, everyone moved aside, and Hu Dalong grabbed my hand and took me over.

I jumped down from the rhizome, then turned around and asked: "What's wrong? I see you have been looking here for a long time. Did you find something?"

Our location is on the entire grotto wall.

And from here we can travel on this road whether going up or down.

But because this rhizome was blocking the road, Li Kun could only grab my arm and lead me to the stone wall.

Then Li Kun stretched out his hand and pointed at the huge rhizome that was three to four meters wide that was pierced into the stone wall and said: "Old Liu, look inside this rhizome in the stone wall here."

I looked where Li Kun pointed and saw that this thick rhizome had been firmly embedded in the stone wall.

But the moment I turned around to look, I was stunned by the sight in front of me.

There are almost no gaps at the bottom and sides of the huge rhizome in front of me.

But there is a gap more than half a meter high at the top of the rhizome.

This gap is four meters deep, and the deeper it is, the more it is filled with stone walls.

But the moment I looked at the gap at the top of the rhizome, I took a breath of cold air.

I saw that the position above the stem was actually made into a coffin. At the top, there was a coffin lid about three and a half meters long and one and a half meters wide.

The width of the rhizome is about three meters, and there are four deep grooves directly above the rhizome. It can be clearly seen that it looks like a coffin lid at this time.

A detailed pattern was carved at the top of the rhizome using skilled carving techniques.

Everyone is very familiar with this pattern. It is exactly what the Zhali people call the sacred willow.

Moreover, several bright small fruits are clearly carved at the bottom of the willow tree. This fruit is what the Zari people call the heart of the sacred willow.

Under the willow tree is a group of people standing, kneeling and worshiping towards the willow tree.

But what surprised me was that a shadow was actually carved behind the willow tree.

This phantom was extremely ugly, with two long horns on its head and a long knife in its hand.

And this phantom is obviously smiling. The long knife in this phantom's hand has been raised high, and his target is the people below who are kneeling before the willow tree.

When I saw this scene in front of me, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Kun jumped directly onto the rhizome, and then said to me: "Old Liu, I knocked on it just now. This is indeed a coffin with a vacuum inside, but I didn't open it rashly."

I nodded to Li Kun and said, "Fortunately, you didn't open the coffin rashly, otherwise it would have been troublesome if you were picking up the body."

Li Kun scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "This is my experience."

Xu Tian rolled his eyes at Li Kun and said, "You are still experienced, but you are being reckless."

Li Kun chuckled, and then I raised my hand to interrupt the two of them.

I turned to look at Gai Wancheng and asked, "Old man, you are more familiar with these burial methods than we are. Have you ever seen such burial techniques?"

Li Kun also suppressed his smile at this time, turned to look at the coffin lid made of willow tree roots, and said: "Yes, I have seen coffins made of trees. This coffin is made of the roots of a big tree.

It’s the first time I’ve seen it, so it’s quite novel.”

Gai Wancheng was also frowning at this time. He had been thinking about this issue since he came down.

After thinking for so long, Gai Wancheng could only roughly guess one answer.
