The ancient riverbed became narrower and narrower, and the light became darker and darker.
Luoyang observed the surrounding environment and found many fossils of ancient fish and shellfish in the sedimentary rocks on both sides of the river bed.
Changes in the sea.
Luoyang suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Human beings think that they are the masters of the earth, but in fact they are just passers-by. One day, human beings will also become fossils in a certain ancient riverbed.
After walking forward for almost a hundred meters, the ancient riverbed suddenly narrowed to less than one meter in width. The rock walls on both sides were washed by the water and were extremely smooth. You could hardly feel the graininess when you touch it with your hands.
Fatima entered the narrow river bed and continued walking.
The space was too narrow for Luoyang to walk side by side with her, so he could only follow behind her.
He looked up at the sky, but all he saw was the rock wall, not the sky at all.
After a while, the ancient riverbed entered a large mountain and continued to extend forward.
Fatima entered the cave and continued walking forward.
Luoyang followed in.
It was pitch dark in the cave.
The ancient riverbed has turned into an underground river channel, and some places are so low that you need to bend down to get through.
"Miss Fatima, how far is it?" Although Luoyang didn't want to talk to her, he couldn't help but ask.
"Soon." Fatima replied.
"The ancient shadow chasers were really amazing at finding this place."
Fatima was silent again.
Luoyang didn't care whether she liked it or not, and continued: "We have walked such a long way and haven't encountered any danger. I think that place is not as strange as you said."
Fatima looked back at Luoyang, her eyes were green.
Luoyang was stunned for a moment, feeling a little at a loss. From the moment he slipped off the cliff to now, if he was frightened, it was just before his eyes. He felt a little bit like he had encountered a ghost.
Although there are green dots in his eyes, they are just green dots deep in the pupils. Now it seems that Fatima has indeed become stronger after undergoing the ritual of summoning the Holy Spirit. She may also be hiding her strength, but she is obviously
Her current state is unfamiliar.
"Why are you looking at me?" Luoyang asked.
"Mr. Luo, if you think so, you are totally wrong. We haven't reached the Holy Land yet, and you don't know how dangerous that place is. You are too proud, and sometimes even arrogant. I don't like you, but
I hope you are alive, although..."
"Although what?"
Fatima spoke up: "Although the chance is almost zero."
Luoyang: "..."
What Fatima said was unpleasant, but he would rather she speak than keep her mouth closed and be mute. But when she said this, he thought she would be cuter if she closed her mouth.
Fatima turned back and continued walking forward.
The course of the underground river in the mountains is winding.
It's hard to imagine how the ancient shadow chaser found this place, and how much courage it took to dare to explore in such an environment.
After walking for a while, there was a faint light ahead.
Fatima quickened her pace.
Luoyang followed her out of the underground river, and the river turned into an ancient river bed.
After walking forward for a while, Fatima suddenly accelerated, sprinted a few steps, jumped directly from the river more than two meters high to the bank. Then she stood on the bank and looked at Luoyang in the river, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
.
Luoyang smiled calmly, how dare you show off your ability in front of him?
"Mr. Luo? Do you want me to pull you?" Fatima asked.
Luoyang bent his legs, kicked off, and jumped up to a height of four to five meters. Not only did he jump out of the river bed, he also jumped over Fatima's head and landed two meters behind her.
Fatima turned around and said, "Look, you are so proud."
Luoyang looked at her speechlessly.
"Let's go." Fatima walked past Luoyang.
Luoyang followed her.
In front of it is a small canyon, surrounded by mountains several kilometers high. There are cliffs everywhere, and there is no way to climb. The river bed extends to the end of the canyon, and then enters the heart of a large mountain, turning into an underground river.
There is a stone wall in the middle of the valley, enclosing a square area. The high place is several meters high, and the low place is only half a person's height. It is a collapsed city wall.
In the middle of the small town stand several huge stone pillars, which are suspected to be the remains of a temple.
Luoyang's eyes moved to a gap in the city wall, and his expression became serious.
The gap and the surrounding area were filled with skeletons, reflecting the white light under the slanting sun.
"There is the Holy Land, the Parthian City in the Stone. It was built in 230 BC and destroyed in 226 AD. It existed for more than 400 years and was destroyed together with the Parthian state. Before its destruction, this river still had water. Here
It also produces gold. Although the land here is small, the yield of crops is very high and it is very rich. At its peak, more than 20,000 people lived here," Fatima said.
"Was it destroyed in the war?"
Fatima shook her head: "No, but we don't know how it was destroyed."
"This place is surrounded by mountains. How do people living here get in and out?" Luoyang asked.
Fatima pointed to the river bed that meandered through the canyon: "Don't you see this river? People in Stone City travel by boat. The river bed at the end of the canyon is very wide and leads all the way to the outside of the canyon."
"So that's it. We should actually come in by helicopter. It would be much easier." Luoyang glanced at the sky.
The sun has sunk in the western sky, leaving only a faint twilight, and the light in the valley has also dimmed.
"We tried, but when the helicopter flew over this canyon, all the instruments failed, and then the engine stalled." Fatima raised her finger and pointed to a mountain peak on the left, "The helicopter crashed on that mountain peak.
We spent a lot of manpower and material resources to remove the bodies, but the wreckage of the helicopter could not be removed, and it is still on top."
Luoyang thought of Tianxu. The situation Fatima said was somewhat similar to that of Tianxu.
Fatima walked towards the City of Stone.
Luoyang followed, activating the spirit body of the ancestral witch as he walked, and his supersensory perception spread in all directions.
This extremely desolate place actually contains powerful spiritual energy. The seemingly desolate ground is actually fertile black soil. No wonder Fatima said that although the land in this place is small, the yield is very high. There are rivers and fertile black soil.
Land is not a problem to feed more than 20,000 people, not to mention there are gold mines.
Stone City is getting closer and closer.
The psychic energy captured by extrasensory perception is also becoming more and more powerful.
Fatima suddenly stopped.
Luoyang was about to ask her why she didn't leave when suddenly a dark wind blew in his face and a voice came out of his head.
