Chapter 115 Absolute Darkness
Ji Han breathed a sigh of relief when Chen Ke promised that he could be reimbursed without any problem.
I thought that if this could be reimbursed, not only would I be able to save a lot of money in the future, but I would also be able to make a profit on the price difference. Bah, that would be an appropriate premium.
However, Ji Han thought about stuffing these into his underwear, so he suggested:
"Just put the diving equipment here. You can explore the way ahead first. After I install it here, everyone can set off."
The three of them thought it was reasonable, so they left a flashlight for Ji Han and walked forward to see what was going on in the darkness around them.
Ji Han hurriedly turned off the flashlight and stuffed the diving equipment into the expanded space in the dark.
The three people came back quickly:
"Brother Han, I've seen it before. There is a small road with a lot of rocks around it."
"Huh? According to the prompts in the Pre-Qin Nine-Star Mirror, shouldn't it be a city? Come on, take me there to have a look."
Sure enough, as Song Qian said, you can see a lot of boulders on both sides and a gravel path in the middle.
This is a desert. If there is such a stone, it should be very deep.
Ji Han simply took out a lighting arrow and shot it into the sky ahead.
With a "pop" sound, the lighting arrow exploded in the air, and the burning white light of the magnesium powder illuminated the surroundings.
This is a huge underground space that is illuminated. The height is visually estimated to be eleven or twelve meters. There are many rocks and hills around it. It seems that the hill in front is even higher.
The distance behind the hillock was still in darkness and could not be seen clearly.
Eggplant was surprised:
"My dear, there is such a big space, can't you even see the edge?"
Song Qian urged:
"Let's keep walking. We can't let Ethan and the others catch up this time."
Speaking of this, Ji Han suddenly asked:
"Chen Ke, how did Ethan and the others catch up here so accurately? Check it out. Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Ke replied:
"That's right. I couldn't say it just now at Crescent Moon Spring. Now we can test it. Please don't move."
After saying that, Chen Ke concentrated his hands, and something like an electronic thermometer emerged from his hand.
Chen Ke can already skillfully integrate these small electronic devices into his body.
Chen Ke took this and probed everyone one by one, looking for the source of the signal.
Just when it touched Ji Han's shoulder, the detector suddenly made a beep beep beep sound.
"Brother Han, it seems to be on you, don't move."
Chen Ke said, tearing off a small piece of signal sticker of the same color as the clothes from the right shoulder of Ji Han's coat.
"This is it."
Then he tore the signal sticker into pieces in front of everyone, and the torn pieces of paper made a "prick" sound, as if they were burned.
Ji Hanxin said, good guy, the clown is actually me.
"Why is this thing on me?"
Song Qian guessed:
"Could it be that little K who secretly attached it when you rescued her from Riel, Brother Han?"
Eggplant shook his head and said:
"Probably not. No matter how much the people from the International Alien Alliance go too far, they can't cooperate with the people from the Consciousness Society. I think it was their captain Ethan, maybe when Ji Han rescued little K who fainted in the tenth team building. Take action."
Everyone also felt that there was some truth, but these were no longer important. Chen Ke re-scanned and confirmed that there were no similar things on everyone, and the four of them moved on.
Walking along the gravel road that was laid on the ground at an unknown time, we walked towards the faint darkness ahead.
Just in case, Chen Ke still has a good habit of throwing lighting rods forward.
But not long after leaving, a strange thing happened.
After the lighting rod was thrown into the darkness, it did not fall to the ground, but bounced back.
The four of them noticed something strange and thought they had hit some monster. After all, there was only boundless darkness in front of them.
I took a flashlight and shone it. I couldn't see clearly in front of me, but I didn't hit any living things.
Everyone moved forward cautiously.
Chen Ke took out another lighting rod and threw it over. This time the four of them watched helplessly as the lighting rod crashed into the darkness and then bounced back.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that it was really haunted. Is there still a barrier in front?
After groping over, they reached the place where the light stick was ejected, and everyone used flashlights to press it.
It did feel like I was pressing on something solid, but it was clear that there was only darkness in front of me.
Ji Han reached out and pressed it, and found that what he pressed was actually a black stone wall, and it felt very rough.
Song Qian exclaimed:
"This is actually a stone wall?"
Ji Han took a closer look with a flashlight and discovered the problem:
"This stone is completely non-reflective, so you can't see anything when the light shines on it. I thought it was the darkness of the cave."
Chen Ke nodded and said:
"I heard that there is a kind of artificial high-grade black material in foreign countries recently, which can reach this level and is called absolute black. Could it be said that it existed here thousands of years ago?"
Ji Han raised his flashlight and shined it towards his head, took a breath and said:
"Tell me, is this black stone wall the bottom of the black sand mountain next to Crescent Moon Spring?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them suddenly realized.
Both the location and the material seem to make sense.
Eggplant nodded and said:
"Damn it, it's definitely Mingsha Mountain. I didn't expect that after we came out of Crescent Moon Spring, we entered Mingsha Mountain again."
Chen Ke frowned and said:
"The entire mountain of Mingsha Mountain is like a large piece of meteorite from the sky. It is completely out of tune with the surrounding environment."
Ji Han looked at the rocks and hills around him, shook his head and said:
"Rather than saying it's a meteorite, I think it's better to say it drilled out from the ground. Look at those rocks and hills, they are like the soil and rocks brought out by this black stone mountain when it drilled out from the ground."
Eggplant clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, okay, let's not go to the geology class. What should we do next?"
Looking at the absolutely dark mountain wall, everyone felt like they were walking on the edge of the universe.
Ji Han suggested:
"Since you can't see anything visually, you might as well touch it and see if there is a way to continue moving forward."
Along the pure black mountain wall, the four people groped in both directions. Soon, there was movement from Song Qian's side.
"Here, there is a passage!"
Everyone gathered over and saw a flashlight thrown by Song Qian in the deep darkness.
Because the bottom of the passage is also black stone, the light around it is absorbed, and the flashlight is like being in the dark universe.
Everyone touched the side and found that the passage was four or five meters wide and about three meters high.
The four people walked in together, but the visibility inside was very limited.
Walking in almost absolute darkness, the four of them were very nervous, because in this situation, even if there was a big pit in front of them, you couldn't find it with a flashlight.
The four of them could only move forward like blind people, groping.
Eggplant cursed:
"Fuck, this road is really thrilling, more terrifying than Lao Wang finding her husband back."
Ji Han said:
"Okay, stop complaining, at least it's much better than Ethan and the others outside."
Eggplant laughed when he heard it:
"That's right, they should still be diving and dancing waltz with those corpses."
Speaking of this, everyone was in a much happier mood, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Let's talk about it separately.
Ethan and his friends were in a miserable situation.
