Chapter 458: Deep Pit
As we walked down the wide passage, we encountered several rotten corpses. Judging from their clothes and the degree of decay, they were divided into several eras. For example, the one that was severely decayed and almost turned into slag, the tools next to the corpse were obviously old-fashioned tools made by blacksmiths. The slightly less decayed ones were different. Some of the clothes could be seen to be styles from decades ago, and there were also popular clothing brands in recent years and flashlights. Mofang estimated that these people were just tomb robbers, but they fell here and seemed to have died of poisoning.
Occasionally, a few dead soldiers would jump out of the sarcophagus or the wall cage, but Mofang didn't even look at them. He stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the skull and crushed it into slag, and then threw it aside mercilessly, but it was a pity for the antique equipment.
As he walked, Mofang remembered something. It seemed that there was poison gas here? To his mechanical life, the poison gas was the same as non-existence. Those humans couldn't stand it, right?
After a quick check, fortunately, perhaps there was too much poisonous gas spreading from the surface hole, and the underground poisonous gas was temporarily not enough to poison several humans to death. However, for safety reasons, Mofang still made an antidote and forced it into the mouths of the four people who followed him. As for the complaining and worried eyes of the four people, Mofang didn't care. Anyway, it was okay as long as they didn't die, so they could think about it.
Crushing the dead bodies along the way, Mofang and the four people walked for nearly 20 minutes and finally arrived at the edge of the underground deep pit.
"Such a dark deep pit, it must be not shallow?"
A female hiker stood at the edge of the pit and looked down. As a result, under the illumination of the flashlight, there was no bottom in the pit except for the surging fog. It was so deep that it was terrifying.
Mofang looked at the artificial traces around and calculated, and compared and analyzed some simple murals and carving styles with the archaeological data in the computer database. Before getting the energy crystal, it would be best to confirm who built the cemetery here, where the coffin was, whether it was the energy crystal brought by the dead person, etc.
Throwing out a dozen reconnaissance devices, the reconnaissance devices quickly flew to every corner of the cave roof and just covered the edge of the entire pit. Then, the reconnaissance devices emitted bright light, illuminating the originally green underground space like daylight.
"Wow... so beautiful..."
The four hikers looked at the surrounding murals and sculptures in amazement, and each of them seemed to be possessed by an archaeologist and wanted to find clues from those murals and sculptures to see what it looked like back then.
The Rubik's Cube stood on an open space, and his eyes shot out energy beams to perform a full-dimensional three-dimensional high-definition scan and record of the murals and sculptures in the cave. The resolution was almost invisible to the naked eye. The purpose of doing this was to preserve the complete information of the murals and sculptures here. Once an accident or disaster occurs in the future, these cultural histories can still be preserved. In the end times, no one will be very interested in cultural relics protection, and there is no harm in doing more.
After the scan, the Rubik's Cube combined the images searched by the reconnaissance device with the images scanned by itself, and formed another underground space scene in the computer. If it is restored with 3D projection technology, people can think that they are in the cave as if they are there.
"It's time to go see those mysterious energy crystals."
The Rubik's Cube walked to the side of the pit and looked down. The entrance of the pit was very large and wide, with a diameter of nearly 50 meters. It was reasonable to turn into a helicopter and fly down in such a large space. However, considering the strong turbulence of the air flow here due to the long-term weathering, it was easy to cause collapse. He had to rule out this method. After thinking again and again, he could only use the steel cable to send himself down at the current human size. This was the most appropriate idea.
"Hold the pistol, don't ask me how to use it, and remember not to run around."
After saying that, the Rubik's Cube wrapped one end of the noose around a thick stone pillar, and then jumped straight down from the edge of the pit...
The noose on his back kept making metal friction sounds. The steel cable was released, and the Rubik's feet fell down quickly like walking on the rock wall. He didn't know if there was something wrong with the fog or rock in the cave or if the cave was really deep. The detection equipment couldn't even find out how deep it was. The Rubik's Cube felt that this thing couldn't possibly dig through the surface and drill into the volcanic magma. What was the difference between that and a cremation pit?
Soon, at a depth of 49 meters from the edge of the cave, the Rubik's Cube suddenly stopped because there was an ancient black stone door on the rock wall.
Swish~ The scanning beam scanned the entire stone door that was more than two meters high, and gradually restored the carvings on the door. It seemed that there were two naked humans with tails, perhaps some individuals in the faith of guarding the door. In addition to the carvings, a dent was found on the door. After analyzing the pattern, it was found that this thing should be something like a key, and it looked familiar.
Recalling all the scenes of entering the underground space just now, I quickly found the familiar part. It turned out to be a piece of something on the body of the death general. At first, I thought it was some messy ornaments, but I didn't expect it to be the key here.
As for going back to find the death general for the key, there is no need. The mechanical foot left behind only slag and deformed metal. Besides, when will the mechanism be able to defeat mechanical life?
First, a scanning beam was used to perform a perspective scan of the entire stone door to confirm the characteristics of the mechanism, and then a robotic arm was extended to simulate a key that went deep into the mechanism to open the door opening device. The effect was almost indistinguishable from the original key, and it was even better than the key. With a slight twist, the stone door made a friction sound and slowly opened to both sides.
Huh~ A black gas blew out and covered the Rubik's face. After analysis, it was found that the gas contained a lot of dead air. If it was a human who just opened the door, he would definitely be excited. He would inhale the dead air to his lungs and wait for death.
Ignoring the cold wind, the Rubik's Cube opened the steel cable and hung it on the edge of the rock. He walked in.
He took two steps...
Dangdang! Two arrows shot at the Rubik's armor mechanism. One was directly bounced off, and the other was stuck in the gap of the mechanism. The Rubik's Cube looked down, stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow and took a look.
"Well made, no rust, it seems there were talented people in ancient times."
He casually threw the arrow aside and continued to walk inside, but he was hit again after a few steps...
"So idle!"
In a two-meter-deep vertical shaft, the Rubik's Cube stood at the bottom and looked up and complained boredly, humans are so idle that they have nothing to do. These hidden weapons are one after another. Not to mention the steel knives that have been stored for countless years, even the new Rubik's Cube is not afraid. At this time, the steel knives standing on the ground are broken and twisted, all of which are smashed by the Rubik's Cube's mechanical feet.
This kind of flip-top trap is still useful. At least there are two corpses pierced by sharp knives lying here. One is older, and the other is still carrying a battery flashlight from the 1950s and 1960s.
"Yo~ Hey, two colleagues~"
