We searched the building again, and although we still couldn't find any secret passages, the old ghost made a new discovery. He discovered that the stone used to build this building was special and not ordinary stone. Among them,
It seems to contain a strange aura. This seems to be able to explain why there are still evil spirits in this building that has been exposed to the scorching sun for thousands of years. Based on this, the old ghost becomes more and more convinced that this building
Objects are just components of a large astrological formation!
However, if we want to solve the mystery, we have to wait until all similar buildings in this area are found and drawn into a topographic map before we can get any further clues. So that night, we made do in the camp we set up at the foot of the mountain.
One night.
Because he was worried that the wolves would attack again or some other unforeseen events would occur, Chen Biao specially strengthened the sentry post, and changed the original two-man post to a six-man post. Fortunately, until dawn, the wolves did not appear, and
Nothing more happened.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Long Yi reported the situation we encountered last night to the headquarters via satellite phone, and asked the headquarters to send helicopters to conduct a large-scale search within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
Find all the stone buildings in this area.
Naturally, we were not idle and had to continue looking for Professor Dong and others. After all, this was the main purpose of our trip. Because last night Long Jiansheng said he saw a big bird flying towards a ravine in the southwest.
Wen Qingshan and I both thought that the big bird was most likely the legendary owl monster, so we decided to go to the ravine to look for it.
Chen Biao led the special operations team members to put away the tents within twenty minutes and loaded all materials into the vehicle. The convoy drove towards the direction of the valley where Long Jiansheng said.
On the way, I was very curious about how Long Jiansheng knew that there was a valley in the southwest, because what we could see now, except for a few bare barren mountains, was almost endless desert.
I asked Long Jiansheng for advice, but he didn’t answer me. He just stared out the window and didn’t seem to want to pay attention to me. The old ghost next to him told me that just a few days ago, they had entered that river.
Valley ravine, at that time many beast remains were found in that ravine, but other than that, nothing else was discovered.
The old ghost also said that the ravine was very long. According to his analysis, in ancient times, it should have been a river, but now it has dried up and turned into a ravine. The two of them walked along the ravine for about seven months.
Eight miles away, he found nothing, so he walked back. Since he could not reach the end of the ravine, he did not know how long the ravine was.
After listening to the old ghost's story, I became even more interested in this ravine, because he said that many beast remains were found in the ravine. This made me feel a little incredible, because since entering Lop Nur, except for the mutation I encountered last night,
Apart from wolves, I have never seen any other wild beasts, and I don’t know where the remains of the wild beasts in the ravine came from.
After the convoy traveled for about two hours in the endless desert, several strange-shaped boulders appeared in front of them. Each boulder was more than ten meters high. Due to being hit by wind and sand all year round, the wind erosion has been quite severe.
From a distance, the shape is very strange, and for some reason, it gives people an uneasy feeling.
The convoy drove near the boulders, and the old ghost signaled the driver to stop. After getting out of the car, I discovered that there was a deep trench between the boulders. The trench was about seven or eight meters wide, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
The old ghost stretched out his hand and pointed toward the deep ditch and said, "This is it!"
At this time, people in other cars also got out of the car. When Batur and Aishan saw the ravine in front of them, their expressions suddenly changed. Long Yi saw this and hurriedly asked: "Are you two
Do you know this place?"
Batur nodded and said nervously: "This place is called Guimen Pass, and this valley is called Death Valley. It is said that Death Valley is the valley leading to hell. If you enter the valley by mistake, few people can escape from it."
Come out alive inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old ghost said with a smile: "This is just a rumor. We just went to the valley to investigate a few days ago. Not only did we come out alive, we also found nothing unusual."
Batur glanced at the old ghost and said: "It's okay to go into the valley during the day, but after dark, there will be devils."
"Devil!? Huh! The thing I'm not afraid of the most is monsters!" The old ghost didn't take it seriously.
But I immediately became interested and asked, "Brother Batur, what kind of devil is there in the valley?"
Batur shook his head: "I don't know about that. The so-called devil may be just an exaggerated metaphor, but Death Valley is indeed extremely dangerous. Not only are there the bones and remains of countless animals, but if you study them carefully, you will
I found that none of those animals died naturally."
"How do you say this?" Long Yi asked hurriedly.
Batur took a deep breath and said slowly: "More than ten years ago, we entered Death Valley for inspection and found that it was full of animal bones. This surprised us because in the Lop Nur area,
Although there are many animals such as wild camels, yellow sheep, and desert wolves, generally speaking, the number of animals is very rare, but in such a valley, there are
The discovery of so many animal bones is difficult to explain using common sense. First, where did so many animal bones come from? Second, why did these animals die here? In order to find out, we took some samples of animal bones.
When I took them back for testing, I found that the bones had traces of being bitten, and even deep tooth marks were left on some hard bones."
After listening to Batur's story, everyone was a little surprised. Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "Are there also wolves in this valley?"
Batur shook his head and said: "No! Although it is a tooth mark, it is not caused by a wolf. As for what it is, it is still a mystery."
Wen Qingshan asked from the side: "Then haven't you ever entered this valley to investigate again?"
Batur sighed and said: "Later, we organized another inspection. A total of six people came, but in the end only one person came back alive." After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at Aishan beside him, and
Only then did I notice that Aishan's expression seemed a little excited, his eyes were even flashing with tears, and his lips were trembling slightly. Batur's words seemed to touch the pain in his heart.
I quickly asked: "Could this person who came out alive be Brother Aishan?"
Batur nodded.
Long Yi immediately asked Ai Shan: "Brother Ai Shan, what exactly happened to you inside?"
Unexpectedly, Ai Shan shook his head in pain and said, "I...I don't know what happened..."
Aishan's answer surprised everyone. Batur was busy explaining: "Aishan was only eighteen years old at the time and had just joined the expedition team, so the leader, Uncle Kurban, did not let him follow him into the valley.
I asked him to wait here, and he waited at this hell gate for two whole days."
Long Yi frowned and pondered for a while, then asked Batur: "Then did you investigate later on what happened to the other members of the expedition team?"
"We have investigated, but there are no results. Even the bodies have not been found. They just disappeared."
After listening to Batur's story, the old ghost couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect such a mysterious thing to happen in this damn place. I really should have looked inside again last time. Maybe I could find something."
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, it's not too late for us to go in again."
"That's different. There are many people this time, and as the saying goes, there are many things to do! I would rather just take this guy with me!" The old ghost said, turning his head and glanced at Long Jiansheng beside him. This guy still had a straight face.
Expressionless look.
Because the terrain inside the ravine seemed fairly flat and the ravine was relatively wide, after some discussion, we decided to drive in. After all, it was much more maneuverable, and the key point was that we didn’t know how long this ravine was.
If the distance is too long, it would be too exhausting to keep walking.
Everyone got back into the car, and the convoy moved forward slowly, inevitably missing some important clues. The car drove very slowly, only about ten kilometers per hour.
After traveling about two or three kilometers inward, there were indeed many animal bones in front of us. Most of them had turned into white bones. Because Batur said that these animal bones had been gnawed, we decided to go down and have a look.
, so the convoy stopped moving forward, and everyone got out of the car. Chen Biao led the special forces to be on guard, and a few of us gathered next to the skeleton of a large animal.
I asked: "What kind of animal is this? Why is its skeleton so big?"
Aishan replied: "It's a wild camel."
Wen Qingshan stared at the wild camel skeleton in front of him for a while, frowned and said, "This wild camel has a broken leg and multiple fractures on its body. It must have been caused by an attack."
"Boss Nawen, do you think it was a wolf that did it?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan shook his head and said: "Probably not. The wolf's canine teeth are very sharp and can crush bones. Although this skeleton has many fracture marks, the bones are not broken."
"If it's not a wolf, what could it be?" I was a little confused, and it was hard to believe that in this desert, besides wolves, what else could attack a huge wild camel to death.
Everyone looked around the skeleton carefully and soon discovered that there were many jagged scratches on the skeleton.
Wen Qingshan analyzed: "This should be the tooth marks left by animals that attacked wild camels!"
I looked at those teeth marks and said in confusion: "But what kind of animal can leave such teeth marks?"
