Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh strange things
Zhang Longhu was so happy after learning about Dong's residence in Pengcheng, which showed that he was already confident. However, Han Kongque was confused after learning about Dong's residence in Pengcheng. This is enough to show that the information between the two of them is asymmetric.
It is because of this that Han Peacock made so many arrangements, waiting for those who want to be oriole to appear.
Unexpectedly, he was actually asked to wait. Looking at the map in his hand, although it was very crude, the lines drawn were very clear.
This is indeed a broken picture, but although it is a broken picture, the route that should be taken has been marked, but the last part has disappeared. What Han Peacock wants is the general location. As long as he gets to the treasure, the treasure can be hidden.
No matter how tight it is, it can't escape the search of his senses.
Looking at the map, the lines drawn on it point directly in one direction, and that direction must be Yunlong Mountain.
Han Kongque walked forward along the passage. He did not turn on the light, but his perception allowed him to see everything around him clearly.
This place is indeed magical. Han Peacock discovered that there are countless cracks, large and small, around this passage. There is water in all these cracks, but this water will not be evaporated soon after intruding into this passage.
Turn into water vapor.
Han Kongque touched the wall of the passage with his hand and was immediately shocked. The temperature of this wall was actually fifty or sixty degrees. Such a high temperature was not normal.
Han Peacock thoughtfully perceived the water sources around him. The water was constantly circulating between liquid and gaseous states. This situation became more and more obvious as he continued to move forward.
Han Kongque looked at these passages. In fact, the passages could only be regarded as barely adequate. Because these were just cracks in the rocks, and such fractures were everywhere underground.
Some stone cracks are small, and some are large. They have one thing in common, which is that they are very strong.
Han Kongque suspected that it was a kind of metal ore, but he didn't know much about it. He could only pick up the pieces on the ground, put them into the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and wait until he returned to the ground to identify them.
Han Peacock released his senses and constantly sensed the changes in the surrounding terrain to avoid getting lost in these large and small stone crevices. In fact, in this situation, there is no difference between having a map and not having a map.
Han Kongque can only calculate two routes now, both of which lead to the final destination, but he doesn't know if the destination of these two routes is the same, because the final destination has been torn away.
Following a route, Han Kongque walked for about half an hour. At this time, he discovered some patterns. Only large stone cracks could be passages, and other small ones were all forks.
Don't think that the passage is easy to find. In this underground, the so-called large passage is just a passage that is one person high and two people wide. In such a narrow passage, it is completely dark. In this environment, it is difficult to find
It is not that easy to distinguish the size of the front channel.
Therefore, the discovery of Han Peacock is more important, because the passage has been artificially repaired. As long as you pay attention to this, you will not get lost.
With this discovery, Han Peacock began to move faster. Soon, Han Peacock felt that the terrain had risen a lot, and it should be close to Yunlong Mountain.
Being able to easily determine the passage, Han Peacock speeded up again. As the terrain continued to rise, it seemed that the passage became easier to walk. Once here, there were not many side roads.
Han Kongque knew that maybe the destination was not far ahead, so he let out his senses again and carefully sensed all the places he passed to prevent the treasure from being buried nearby and missed by him.
Just as Han Peacock was moving forward easily, he felt a thin stream of water approaching him quickly.
Han Kongque was shocked. His experience told him that the fast-moving water source was not liquid water. In this case, there was only gaseous water?
water vapor?
Han Peacock glanced at the surrounding passage. He stretched out his hand and immediately stretched it back. The wall was very hot.
Then he touched the ground and found a layer of dust, but this layer of dust was not hot.
By this time, Han Kongque no longer hesitated. He immediately activated his magical power and placed a thick layer of water around his body.
At this moment, he saw the moving moisture, which was a cloud of water mist. To be precise, it should be a stream of water vapor. This water vapor was blowing as fast as the wind.
Han Peacock had no choice but to stand firm in the wind.
He felt a heat wave coming over him, and the water ball outside his body was evaporating rapidly. Now he was like a steamed bun in a steamer, being steamed continuously.
After Han Peacock replenished the water curtain outside his body more than ten times, he felt that the wind outside was weakening until it slowly disappeared. Ten minutes had passed.
At this time, the entire passage was already filled with steam, which was comparable to a sauna. Of course, if an ordinary person was exposed to the sauna for ten minutes, their bones would become crispy and their flesh would become rotten.
Han Peacock wiped his cold sweat out of fear and continued to move forward.
Since there is water vapor appearing, there is water and fire in front, otherwise this heat wave would not be formed.
Sure enough, as he continued to go deeper, Han Peacock felt hotter and hotter. As a result, he could only constantly replace the water protected outside his body and try not to let this water evaporate.
I don't know how much time passed, but Han Kongque walked to a cave. Looking at the lava surging in the cave, Han Kongque could only smile bitterly. He definitely took the wrong path.
In fact, when he was hit by the hot wind, he should have thought that he might have fallen into a trap when he discovered the obvious artificial rest channel.
This is a volcanic crater, but this volcano should have vented almost completely, so a lot of magma has cooled into magma rock, and the complex channels outside should be the best proof.
Han Peacock looked at the dark red magma curiously. Although the temperature was still very high, there was not much movement anymore.
Thinking about the history of Pengcheng, there is no record of volcanic activity or volcanic eruptions.
This is not an active tectonic zone at all, and there is not even a big mountain. Unexpectedly, there is a volcanic crater here.
Han Peacock looked at this place, and his perception began to extend upwards in a straight line. Above three hundred meters, it was still earth and rock. This place was at least three hundred meters above the ground.
At this time, Han Kongque thought that although there was no record of volcanic activity in Pengcheng City, there were geothermal resources in many areas, especially shallow geothermal resources.
Geothermal energy is an energy resource from the interior of the earth. The temperature of lava erupted by volcanoes on the earth is as high as 1200℃~1300℃. The temperature of natural hot springs is mostly above 60℃, and some are even as high as 100℃~140℃.
This shows that the earth is a huge heat reservoir, containing huge thermal energy. This heat seeps out of the surface, so there is geothermal heat.
Therefore, there is no volcanic activity in Pengcheng, but there may be a large geothermal vent, and maybe this is it.
Now that the fire source has been found, there is still a water source. If there is no water, water vapor will not be formed. The Korean peacock releases its senses and carefully searches for where there is water around it.
Han Peacock, Han Peacock discovered that there was a large pool not far from the fire cave, which could also be said to be separated by a wall.
Han Peacock got into the pool through some vertical and horizontal passages. When he turned on his headlight, what he saw was a brilliant scene.
What he saw was a world of ice and snow. In the cave, there were huge ice prisms and icicles everywhere. The reflected lights of these huge icicles were blurry in color and looked very beautiful.
Han Peacock slowly passed through some icicles, and finally appeared next to the water pool he sensed. The water pool and the fire cave were indeed separated by a wall, but the wall was a bit thicker.
He walked around the pool. The closer he got to the fire cave next door, the hotter the water in the pool became. Just when Han Peacock felt the heat, he heard a huge ice cube click and fall from the top of the cave.
It fell down and slipped right into the pool.
At this moment, Han Kongque clearly sensed that the water in the pool began to overflow, and the passage actually led to the fire cave next door.
As the temperature around the pool gets higher and higher, more and more icicles here break, so more and more water gathers into the pool, which naturally allows more water to flow into the fire cave next door.
.
This situation lasted for ten minutes. The Korean peacock heard a whining sound and the wind picked up.
Sure enough, soon the sound of phoenix flutes was heard in all the caves far away from the water pool. As the large cold wind invaded, the ice blocks that had just begun to melt far away from the water pool were frozen again, and these ice blocks continued to grow.
, until the strong wind stops.
This is underground. As water is lost in this space, the density of the air will naturally decrease, and the air pressure will decrease, which will naturally attract air from other places to replenish it. This is the origin of the strong wind just now.
Nature is really amazing. When the temperature of the fire cave next door rises, the ice cave here will melt. When more water is fused, it will flow into the fire cave and start to cool the fire cave, and the water will be heated into water.
The steam circulates in the underground cave, then cools from water vapor into water and slowly flows into the ice cave.
This cycle lasted for who knows how many years. After watching the peacock several times, Han could only admire the magic of nature.
Seeing the magic here, Han Peacock already knew that this was the source of the surrounding terrain. This place had geothermal heat and water. It was this wonderful scene of water and fire that caused various changes in the surrounding underground.
It turns out that there may have been a volcanic eruption here, but it was unknown how many thousands of years ago it happened, so Han Peacock was not worried that the geothermal heat here would cause harm to the humans living above.
No longer curious, Han Peacock slowly began to retreat. He wanted to find the right passage and find the treasure as soon as possible. This mistake had delayed him for too long.
As soon as he exited the ice cave, Han Kongque discovered something strange. Not far ahead, under the illumination of his headlamp, there was a glimmer of light.
This surprised Han Kongque, and he immediately turned off his headlights. When he looked, there was still light over there.
