Liu Xia walked in from the passage. Different from the broad stairs before, this part of the passage became narrower and narrower as it went forward, even twisting and twisting. From time to time, there were protruding rocks blocking the way.
However, these obstacles are nothing to Liu Xia now. Whether it is the roots of trees deep underground or the roads broken due to landslides, nothing can stop him from moving forward.
"A putrid smell." The further we walked, the thicker the putrid smell became, until it became unbearable for normal people.
Because he hadn't yet learned how to use fetal breath, which is said to be able to directly filter this smell, Liu Xia took out the gas mask he had already prepared from his backpack, put it on immediately, and continued on his way.
At this section of the road, the originally hard ground became soft and squishy, and you could clearly feel your feet sinking into it after stepping on it. A line of extremely clear footprints appeared behind Liu Xia as he moved forward.
"Why is it so soft? The humidity of the air is not normal. Is there an underground river here?" Liu Xia rubbed his fingers and could clearly feel the moist feeling coming from the tips of his fingers. The humidity in this place is far higher than in the outside world.
, if there is not some legendary formation or something like that, then there is probably an underground river nearby.
A strong flashlight illuminated the wall beside me, and I could see some tiny holes. The holes were densely packed, but similar in size. I didn't know what they were used for.
If you are attacked in this place, it will be very difficult to exert your strength.
Liu Xia became more vigilant, stuck the strong flashlight inside the special protective layer of the gas mask, and walked slowly for a while.
Perhaps it was because it was too old, and there was no reflection in places where there should have been certain protective measures. Although the sound of running water could be faintly heard, nothing changed until Liu Xia turned the corner.
After walking through this section of the road, what we saw was a huge stone chamber. The putrid smell increased so much that even a gas mask of excellent quality could not eliminate it. The stone walls were full of gaps, and you could clearly see through the gaps.
I saw mummies one after another, some covered in animal skins, some naked, with some strange herbs stored around them.
However, a long time has passed, and those herbs have long since dried up completely, and Liu Xia will turn into ashes if he touches them even slightly.
These things may have been valuable a long time ago, but as time went by, they became worthless. However, if these things are the kind of treasures filled with spiritual essence that Lei Long mentioned, maybe there is a jade bottle.
The medicinal properties can be preserved and even preserved well.
After all, there is no such thing as spiritual essence on earth, and it is normal for it to have strange uses.
I looked around carefully with a strong flashlight and didn't see anything similar to a jade bottle.
This is also natural. Even if prehistoric civilization may have a force value that is not inferior to that of the feudal era, prehistory is prehistory. The technology for reclamation and excavation is definitely not very developed, especially related to finding jade mines and mining.
Knowledge.
In this case, if there were not naturally exposed jade mines near the tribe, then only people with a high status would be able to keep jade bottles in their hands.
Even in a primitive society, such people would not be buried in such a shared cemetery.
After enduring the stench and looking at all the places one by one, Liu Xia walked forward again. The passages here were twisted and twisted, giving the impression that he was walking through some legendary Bagua array.
During this period, many stone walls appeared again, but with experience, Liu Xia's exploration became much faster. He did not find any storage equipment, but he witnessed a lot of strange mummies.
Relying on his light footsteps, very quickly, every route was completely cleared, and time passed by minute by second.
In this dark underground, it is difficult to tell the time. In addition, there are too many forks in the road and there is no map. I am always walking on some repetitive routes. A kind of depression rises involuntarily deep in my heart, and my physical strength is exhausted.
It is also far beyond the normal level.
Finally, the full breakfast was completely digested. Liu Xia found a tomb, squatted down, took out test tubes one after another from his backpack, drank them all, and took a few more bites. The taste was pretty good.
compressed biscuits.
At this time, the time had reached eleven o'clock at noon, a full three hours had passed since they entered the stone chamber, and Liu Xia had only explored half of the road.
"No wonder it's said to be two days at most. If the other roads also have so many forks, then it will indeed take that long, and we have to rush." Because the stone room was really too quiet, Liu Xia couldn't help but feel guilty.
As he murmured to himself, his plain voice echoed in the empty stone room, giving him an illusion of coldness and depth.
"But with such an accurate estimate, it seems that they have already gone through early detection and have a lot of experience. There may be a lot of power behind the Lei Sect Master." Liu Xia thought, and took the last bite.
After swallowing the compressed biscuits that would take a normal person a day to digest, he immediately stood up again, "Damn it, the explorers of the ruins will never go empty. This is the first time. They must not go empty. If they are really empty, I will kill them."
The skins of the animals were peeled off and used for fishing!”
After taking a short rest and cheering himself up by talking to himself, Liu Xia started exploring again.
Although he claims to be impatient, Liu Xia still has plenty of patience in a place where he has to waste time. Every route reaches the end, and he even tries to use his fists to open a way at the end. He must make sure that there is no way ahead.
Stop.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the high-power flashlight finally ran out of power. Liu Xia continued to explore the stone room while feeling for the spare battery from his backpack, preparing to replace it.
A strong flashlight consumes a lot of electricity. Being able to turn it on at full power for such a long time only proves that the energy storage technology of this world is clearly superior to that of the earth.
Liu Xia fumbled around in the backpack for a while, and soon found two spare batteries in the backpack.
And just when he continued to reach deeper and wanted to take out the battery from his backpack, a gust of cold wind blew, refreshing, and Liu Xia couldn't help but feel refreshed.
But soon, Liu Xia reacted immediately, his body immediately tensed up, a faint silver light bloomed all over his body, and he was ready for battle.
Liu Xia, who had been groping along the way, was very sure that the stone chamber was surrounded by stone walls without even a hole. How could there be a sudden breeze? Unless Lei Long, who had been groping all the way, ran away.
come over!
But this kind of probability cannot be said to be impossible, but it is basically the same as winning the lottery.
about?
Liu Xia slowly put down his backpack and relied on his senses to find the source of the breeze. The sensitivity of his five senses was raised to its current limit.
Due to his keen sense of danger, he quickly found the source of the feeling.
Yes!
The moment he determined the range, Liu Xia stepped forward and punched the source of the danger, which happened to collide with a sharp claw.
"Squeak!" It was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly what the intruder was. All he could hear was a scream similar to that of a rat, and the sneak attacker was slammed to the corner.
But even though he received Liu Xia's punch head-on, the attacker did not lose his ability to react. After falling to the ground, Liu Xia could clearly hear the sound of weak but rapid footsteps.
What the hell?
After cheering up, Liu Xia took the opportunity to quickly replace the batteries of the strong flashlight.
