"This mountain top is actually a "prison" in the strict sense of the word, a prison used to imprison countless Mitras!"
“The number of Mitras here is far beyond your imagination!
"Do you see this deserted path under our feet? After crossing this range, every inch of land at the top of the mountain has the presence of Mitra."
As the water evaporated in the sun, the stone wall became turbid again, and the dense shadows slowly disappeared in front of the three people's eyes.
"Mitra...damn it, how could there be so many of these ghosts?"
"Uncle Ming, you said it, this thing was originally a human being, a failed product of the Zhang family's research on immortality, but this quantity..."
As he numbly followed Hu Ming around the stone wall, Wu Xie felt a chill in his heart. The top of Yangjiao Mountain was not small. God knows how many such monsters there were in such a large area.
"During China's ancient feudal period, do you really think human life was very valuable?"
"For powerful people, human life is just a number. In the case of the Zhang family, this number... can only be said to be expected."
"It's just, uncle, why are these monsters trapped in the mountains?"
"You said that these things can secrete a strange substance and can easily travel through rock formations. How could they be trapped?"
Xiaohua is much calmer.
Even modern people can still do many incredible things for the sake of their ambition to live forever.
Not to mention the Zhang family who almost dominated the sky with one hand in ancient times.
"Because the isolation zone surrounding the mountain at our feet has been treated with special means and is filled with substances that make Mitra fearful."
"The entire mountain top is also covered with a layer of this material using a special method."
"That's exactly what it is. The top of Yangjiao Mountain is full of these things. There are tens of thousands of them. If you cross this blockade, anyone who enters will be doomed."
"But the good thing is, the passage I found is right here."
As he spoke, Hu Ming suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and showed the situation ahead to the two of them.
Ahead is a dilapidated camp.
There were several dead bones scattered in the camp. The dead bones were wearing military clothes characteristic of that era, and messy military supplies were scattered on the ground.
Hu Ming even saw a few old-fashioned firearms half-covered by the mud.
This was originally a camp for the first archaeological team that came here.
It's just that I don't know what happened back then. All the people who stayed here have died.
There were no conspicuous marks on the bones, making it difficult to determine the cause of their death.
Also... maybe these people were cruelly attacked by the ghost man after he was extremely lucky to escape.
Continuing to move forward, we came to a relatively intact tent deep in the camp.
"We're here, the passage we're looking for is right here."
Hu Ming stopped, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
Under the erosion of time, except for the metal brackets with intact outlines, the canvas of the tent has long been rotted into pieces, and a standard circular bottomless hole in the center of the tent is visible.
Looking from above, this big hole goes straight up and down and is bottomless. I twisted a few cold fireworks and threw them in. It took a long time for them to fall to the ground.
Its depth is evident.
"This is the robbery hole dug by the archaeological team back then. Oh no, is it the excavated passage?"
Xiaohua was amazed and lay down by the hole to look at it carefully. Halfway through her words, she remembered that those people from the Nine Sects had already had semi-official status, so she changed her mind.
After all, the officials don’t call it robbery, but they call it legal and reasonable excavation!
"No, this was done by the Zhang family and is part of the Millennium Plan."
"This was specially dug to facilitate the transportation of building materials."
Hu Ming shook his head and said calmly.
This is also true.
The Zhangjia Ancient Building is an incredible building deeply embedded in the mountain.
Although Guangxi Province is a place rich in underground caves and water veins, it is somewhat troublesome to transport building materials through these natural underground passages.
In order to facilitate future construction, the Zhang family found a good angle and broke the rock formations to expose easily soluble limestone.
Then the Zhang family cast a huge and heavy copper ball and made a mechanism at the entrance of the cave.
When rainwater is collected by the mechanism and washed into the hole, the limestone will become brittle and crushed by the heavy copper balls.
Over the course of thousands of years, the copper ball continued to sink, and finally penetrated the dome, opening the passage to a predetermined location in the mountain.
All I can say is...this is the method that only the Zhang family can use.
There are many such cave entrances around this mountain, but this one is the closest to Hu Ming and others.
Listening to Hu Ming's eloquent words, Wu Xie and Xiaohua were inexplicably shocked.
Having grown up listening to stories about dripping water piercing rocks, it was hard for them to imagine that such distance would really be used to excavate mountains.
This is simply incredible!
At the same time, the two of them cast confused glances at Hu Ming.
They couldn't figure out how Hu Ming knew such secrets.
However, Hu Ming had no intention of explaining.
"Okay, stop inking. It's getting late. No one knows what's going on with the little brother and the fat man now. It's almost time for us to go down."
After putting out his cigarette butts, Hu Ming kept taking out some professional tools from his backpack, urging the two people who were stagnant in place.
"oh oh."
The two of them reacted and responded quickly. At the same time, they took out various professional tools from their backpacks and started working.
At the entrance of the cave there are tools left behind by the first archaeological team that came here in 1976.
But the problem is that after so many years, the mountains and rain have continued to wash away, and those things have long been rotten.
With a slight touch, the edge shattered into rusty dregs and was completely useless.
The three of them worked for about twenty minutes and wedged three climbing ropes at the entrance of the cave.
Three ropes hundreds of meters long were hammered into the cave.
The three of them had already put on a pair of assault jackets, checked lights, weapons, food and other necessary equipment for the last time, looked at each other, fastened the safety locks, and left one after another.
