Chapter 823 Don’t Look Underwater
Latest website: After Chen Ke took care of the injury on his leg, the four of them began to re-observe the surrounding situation.
Seemingly still frightened by the pain just now, Chen Ke asked:
"This place is really weird. If it were a cemetery, is it necessary to leave such a long road in the middle? And the outside is not sealed. It seems to be inviting people in. It doesn't look like a tomb at all.
But if this is some kind of ruins, or some underground civilization, and there are so many such ghosts outside, and we are so embarrassed with superpowers, wouldn't other people come in and be waiting to be exterminated? "
Ji Han explained:
"At least judging from the current situation, this place does not look like a tomb. As for the danger outside you just mentioned, I think it may be that our handling method is not right.
Remember that stone man statue you saw when you came in? There was clearly something written on a stone tablet in front of the statue, but it was destroyed by later generations. I guess what was written on it was probably the precautions after entering this place, or the correct way to enter. "
"Ah? No way? Then how could anyone destroy it?"
Song Qian thought of the Taoist priest in purple who said that soldiers from the Tang Dynasty had been stationed here, and then guessed:
"Maybe it was destroyed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If the hole outside is according to Brother Han's guess, it should be a convenient passage for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to defend themselves. Then they may have discovered the danger here and sealed it. of.
Later, after resisting for many years, they finally could no longer carry it on. Perhaps when they left, in order to leave some surprises for the Tibetan soldiers, they erased the words on the stone tablet.
Judging from the stone wall that was torn down and then rebuilt, the Tubo soldiers entered the cave as they suspected, but without the guidance of the stone tablet, they probably encountered the same situation as us just now.
I don’t know how many casualties there were, but in the end they must have given up on exploring you, so they sealed the hole again. "
Song Qian's guess was almost the same as Ji Han's. It was unknown how many of the dense peach trees outside were transformed from the corpses of the soldiers who died there.
If you still want to go here when you return, you have to think of a way to deal with it in advance.
However, at this moment, Ji Han and the others first took stock of the new space they were in. If the deep pit in the middle was included, it was almost cylindrical.
Although the platform at the foot of the wall is uneven, it is still solid. The platforms on both sides gradually go diagonally downward. The steps on both sides have been worn away and have lost their edges. They look like two uneven steps. slide.
Song Qian threw a lighting rod towards the deep pit in the center. Following the falling light source, she could see that the inner wall of the pit had collapsed severely.
And when the lighting rod fell to the bottom, water splashed below.
"There's water down there, and it sounds like it should be pretty shallow."
Viewed from above, the distance to the lighting rod is about ten meters, and before everyone can clearly see the situation of the pool below through the light of the lighting rod.
The center of the pool where the lighting rod fell suddenly exploded. The lighting rod seemed to be thrown out by something and hit the wall hard. With a "pop", the light source below disappeared again.
"Tsk, it seems the water is not peaceful either."
After finishing his rant, Ji Han took out the space-time compass again. Sure enough, the destination was diagonally downwards. The four of them knew that there was danger, so they could only slide down a little bit along the stone platforms on both sides.
The further down you go, the clearer the sound of water flowing in your ears becomes.
When you reach the bottom platform completely, you can clearly see that there seems to be a river outside the circular pool under the illumination of the flashlight.
The bottom of the pit looks more like a small dock, but the ships that once docked here may have been unable to withstand the erosion of the years and rotted in the turbid river water.
Ji Han and the others were more concerned about the mysterious creature that had just whipped the lighting rod away.
Eggplant threw another lighting rod into the water, wanting to see the true identity of the thing just now, but this time, until the lighting rod completely sank into the water, there was no movement around.
But after what happened just now, the four of them didn't dare to get into the water easily.
Eggplant turned around and said:
"Chen Ke, in addition to drones, do you have any unmanned submarines or the like?"
Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said:
"Do you want an unmanned International Space Station?"
Although he was unforgiving, Chen Ke still took out a huge yellow bag from his backpack.
Just when Ji Han, Song Qian and Eggplant didn't figure out what Chen Ke was going to do, the latter pulled the red rope on the yellow bag and then threw the entire bag into the water.
The jacket-sized yellow bag expanded rapidly in the water, and soon, a simple little yellow duck kayak floated on the water.
Although the workmanship and inflation efficiency of this kayak are very good, the little yellow duck pattern printed all over it does not match the environment where the four of them are, making it feel very weird.
Naturally, Eggplant would not give up this opportunity to tease:
"Okay, the preparations are quite complete, but the aesthetics are a bit off."
Ji Han said worriedly:
"The thing in the water just now was quite strong. Can you handle it?"
Chen Ke took the lead and jumped into the kayak and turned around and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Ji. These are the research results of Captain Ding An and me. As long as no bullets are used, even if there is a crocodile underneath, it will not be able to bite this special material."
Seeing that Chen Ke was so confident, Ji Han and the other three also jumped in. Following the guidance of the time and space compass, they slowly slid the little yellow duck kayak into the river outside.
This seemed to be an underground river, and the current was a little turbulent. Because the situation was unknown, the four of them tried their best to control the kayak and move forward slowly.
And none of the four of them were sitting too close to the edge of the kayak, in case something suddenly happened in the water.
But strangely enough, from the time the four people entered the kayak, there were no unusual changes in the surrounding water flow.
Ji Hanxin wondered if it was possible that the little yellow duck pattern also had the function of warding off evil spirits? No wonder they put this thing in the bathroom when taking a shower.
The Little Yellow Duck kayak carried four people forward slowly in the dark waterway. The waterway ahead was getting darker and darker, but the sound of water flow was getting louder and louder.
Eggplant was about to use his flashlight to check the situation ahead, but found that the paddle he was using seemed to be caught by something in the water.
Eggplant did not act rashly, but coughed slightly. Ji Han and the others looked over and found that Eggplant was pointing at his oar.
The three of them all picked up their weapons. Seeing that everyone was ready, Eggplant lifted the oar upwards, and a pair of swollen and white hands emerged from the water.
