Long Yi turned around and asked Wen Qingshan: "Mr. Wen, how do you plan to get there?"
Wen Qingshan stuck his head out and looked outside, then turned around and said: "Based on all the evidence we have, it is speculated that the Sirius Kingdom is located on the bank of Yin Lake, and the place where the signal was sent should be the Sirius Kingdom, so
, we have two ways to get there."
"Which two methods?" Long Yi asked.
"First, we can row directly across the lake."
As soon as he said this, I immediately questioned: "But the question is where did we get the boat?"
Before Wen Qingshan could answer, Long Yi on the side said: "This is not a problem. We have brought four kayaks. Each kayak can carry four to five people or 800 kilograms of weight."
"Holy crap! You've even prepared kayaks?" I couldn't help but be surprised, and I immediately understood. No wonder those special forces members each carried an oversized backpack. It turned out that in addition to food and ammunition, the backpacks contained
, and also prepared many other tools. Fortunately, our protective suit has a built-in exoskeleton mecha, otherwise carrying so many things would have exhausted the person to death.
Long Yi asked Wen Qingshan again: "Mr. Wen, what is your second solution?"
"The second way is, of course, to walk slowly along the river."
"Walk along the river?" Long Yi looked under the waterfall and said doubtfully: "But below the cliff is the lake, there is no road at all, how can we walk?"
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Look carefully at the cliff about ten meters above the lake. If I guess correctly, there should be a cliff path carved out of the cliff, and this cliff path is very likely to go straight to the sky.
Wolf Country!”
After hearing what he said, everyone looked down curiously. I looked carefully for a while and found that the cliff about ten meters above the lake seemed to be sunken inward. However, due to the angle, from where we are now
Looking at the location, it is not possible to determine whether the depression is just a cave entrance or, as Wen Qingshan said, a plank road carved out of the cliff.
Long Yi turned around and asked Wen Qingshan: "Mr. Wen, how do you know there is a cliff path there?"
Wen Qingshan said: "Haha, I just guessed. I think that since the Sirius Kingdom is located on the bank of Yin Lake, the most convenient way for people from the Sirius Kingdom to quickly reach other places in this underground world is to walk along the lakeside.
, but this underground lake is surrounded by cliffs, so they can only carve a cliff path on the cliff."
After listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, Long Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned to Chen Biao and said: "Mr. Wen's words are not unreasonable. Captain Chen, how about you send two team members down to investigate first."
Chen Biao said: "Why bother? I think it would be easier if we just row over."
Wen Qingshan said: "Going rowing is indeed a way, but I'm worried..." At this point, he stopped talking. Long Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Wen, if you have any concerns, you may as well speak up."
"I'm worried about the danger hidden under the lake."
"Are you worried about those three dragons?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It's not just the three magic dragons, there might be something else."
Chen Biao said disapprovingly: "Mr. Wen is a little unfounded. The lake is so calm. How could it be..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud "swish" and a huge wave rose from the lake.
Immediately afterwards, a water vortex with a diameter of tens of meters appeared on the lake, and it seemed as if something huge was stirring underwater.
Chen Biao was stunned for a moment and swallowed back the words that were on his lips.
When Long saw this situation, he immediately said: "It seems that there are indeed monsters under the water. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we'd better not leave the lake. Captain Chen, you'd better send someone down to explore the way."
Chen Biao did not raise any further objections and turned to give a few instructions to one of the special forces members. The special forces member immediately took out a bundle of ropes, fixed one end of the rope on a big rock, and threw the other end off the cliff.
Then he slid down the rope.
He slid to the depression on the cliff and got in. After a while, he said to us through the intercom: "Come down quickly, there is really a plank road here, it is so long, you can't see the end."
Everyone was shocked when they heard it. They didn't expect Wen Qingshan to be right again. Long Yi couldn't help but give Wen Qingshan a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Wen is indeed a thoughtful person. It's really impressive."
I admire you very much.”
Wen Qingshan just smiled and said very modestly: "Haha, I've been fooled a lot. It's inevitable that I'll get it right sometimes. It's not a big deal! Don't say so much, let's get down quickly."
Long nodded, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please go down one by one, be careful!"
We slid down the rope one after another. When I slid to the location of the depression, I was immediately shocked. It was really a cliff plank road carved out of the cliff. The plank road followed the path around Yin Lake.
The cliff stretches straight forward with no end in sight, and this plank road can be described as "magnificent". It is almost six or seven meters wide, nearly four meters high, and the road surface is very smooth.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Holy crap, who can carve such a wide plank road on this cliff!"
Wen Qingshan was also very surprised. He said: "I didn't expect this cliff plank road to be so wide. It's like a wall-mounted road!"
"What does wall-mounted road mean?" I asked.
Wen Qingshan replied: "The hanging wall highway is a road dug out of the cliff. The project is very dangerous and difficult. In our country, the project volume is the largest, and the earliest construction time is the Xiyagou hanging wall highway in the Taihang Mountains.
, this road stretches for nearly eight kilometers, and is built by Xiyagou people with hammers.
You can use your own hands to carve out a wall-hanging road on the cliff! The difficulty of the project can be imagined, and it is even called the ninth wonder of the world! However, this cliff plank road is not the same as the Xiyagou Hanging Road.
Compared with the wall highway, in terms of scale and momentum, I am afraid it is even worse."
"With such a wide road, it is not a problem to drive tanks on it. What do these guys want to do by building such a wide road?" I asked doubtfully.
Long Yi said: "According to the historical records left by the tribes in the Lop Nur area more than a thousand years ago, the Sirius cavalry at that time often appeared suddenly, as if they were magic soldiers falling from the sky, catching their opponents by surprise. I was thinking,
There must be many entrances and exits to the ground in this underground cave, and the Sirius cavalry uses this wall-mounted road to maneuver quickly and break out of the ground through different entrances and exits, making it difficult for the opponent to guard against them."
Wen Qingshan nodded: "Yes, and after so many years, this road is still intact, which shows that these guys are most likely preparing for war at all times, just waiting for an order."
Long Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go over and take a look first! We can make plans after rescuing Professor Dong and others."
The group of people quickly ran along the cliff path in the direction of the GPS signal.
After walking not far, we found an arched door on the side of the cliff. The arch was about three meters wide. We looked inside the door and saw that it seemed to be a passage, but we didn’t know where it led. According to Wen Qingshan’s analysis
, these arched doors should be the passages leading to the ground entrances and exits. But because our destination was the Sirius Kingdom, we did not enter the arches to check.
We stopped for a moment by the arch and then continued to move forward. As we were walking, there was suddenly a piercing scream coming from above the lake.
Everyone was startled by the scream and hurriedly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound. However, because it was dark inside the cave and the space was so large, even though we all had detectors on our helmets,
I turned on the light, but still saw nothing.
Wen Qingshan frowned and whispered: "The sound just now seemed to come from the owl monster!"
"It seems we have been exposed, everyone, prepare for battle!" Long Yi ordered.
Everyone had already seen how powerful the owl monster was, and they didn't dare to neglect them. They immediately formed a half circle back to back, clinging to the cliff and looking warily towards the lake.
Long Yi shouted again: "Everyone, turn off the lights and use night vision goggles!"
It turned out that the protective goggles we were wearing also had night vision function. Everyone immediately turned off the search lights on the helmets and turned on the night vision function of the protective goggles.
With the help of night vision equipment, I found that the surrounding environment turned into a dark green, and I couldn't see it very clearly. However, I could see the owl monster hovering in the air. Of course, all I saw was a red-orange outline.
That's all.
The owl monster was hovering in the air twenty or thirty meters away from us, and it made a piercing scream from time to time.
Seeing this, Wen Qingshan whispered: "This owl monster must be summoning its companions, we must kill it quickly!"
"Let me do it!" After Chen Biao said that, he immediately raised his gun and aimed at the owl monster in the air. Just as Long Yi was about to stop him, he had already pulled the trigger. With a "bang" gunshot, the owl monster fell down.
, fell into the lake, but the sound of gunshots echoed in the open environment for a long time.
Long Yi immediately said: "I'm afraid this gunshot can also be heard in the Sirius Kingdom. Now we are completely exposed and we have to leave quickly!"
Everyone didn't care so much anymore and immediately ran forward quickly along the cliff path.
After running for a while, we discovered that countless red dots on the lake were flying towards us.
"The owl monsters are out! Everyone, get ready for battle!" Long Yi shouted loudly.
Everyone immediately stopped advancing and once again formed a semicircle with their backs against the cliff, aiming their guns at the swarming owl monsters.
I can feel that everyone is very nervous. Although we are equipped with the super soldier combat system, our numerical disadvantage is too obvious. No one knows whether we can withstand the attack of such a large group of owl monsters.
