I nodded. In that case, there was nothing more to say. I turned to look at them, but found that no one paid attention to me. They had already turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave. I was a little confused. They were like this.
Do you think you agree with my decision or are you dissatisfied with my decision?
Shaking my head, shrugging my shoulders, I walked towards the cave with a wry smile.
The steps under Zhenlong Terrace are crystal-like and colorless. You can only see them when you look closer. They reflect the colorful colors under the light.
The space below is one size smaller than the Zhenlong Terrace, about seven or eight meters wide, but it is more than enough to accommodate the few of us. The inside is completely different from the outside. If you are in the water, you will not be able to find this at all.
It is a transparent space, but you can clearly see the water flow outside, and you can easily detect any slight changes.
We were all a little shocked. We didn’t know how this thing was made. There was no such thing as glass at that time, so this object was purely natural. My idea should be crystal, but such a huge piece was
Unseen.
"Little prince, how should we get down? Do we need to dig a hole underneath?"
I thought about it and said that digging a hole would definitely not work, but there must be other settings underneath. Let's look for it and we will definitely find it. Not long after I said this, something was discovered over there, Monkey
He said he found a raised bump at a corner, the size of a fist.
We walked over quickly, and the knot was close to the wall on one side. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it. I tried to pick it but it didn't move, but it could be rotated. After I turned it three times, my feet lightly
There was a slight tremor, and then we found that water began to pour out of the center of the space.
When the water in the transparent space reached knee-deep, the Zhenlong Platform began to slowly fall toward the lake. I quickly screwed the knot back into place, and the lake water stopped flowing in.
I was greatly impressed. This design is so ingenious. When the lake exhausts the air in the space, the gravity of the Zhenlong Platform will cause it to fall, and we only need to move the big cauldron above it back to its original position.
An independent space will be formed here with enough air. No matter how deep the dragon platform falls, we don’t have to be afraid. And in my opinion, the biggest role of this space is to protect the people inside from
If you get hurt, the barrier must be thick enough to keep out anything dangerous if you encounter it.
Zhenlong Terrace descended deeper and deeper, and soon we reached the position where we dived before. Countless corpses around the lake came into view again, but with the protective layer, we don't have to worry now.
It was estimated that when the Zhenlong Platform descended to a depth of a hundred meters, we suddenly made a discovery. In the center of the lake bottom, there was a square hole nearly twenty meters wide. The inside was dark and obviously extremely deep.
I was shocked. We had not discovered this hole before, but judging from its size, it was enough for the Dragon Suppressing Platform to land, and its location was just right. It should have been accurately calculated.
Sure enough, the Zhenlong Platform fell into the square hole easily, and there was still about five meters of free space around it. We looked at it with a flashlight and found that it was surrounded by hard rocks, some of which had been dug manually.
Traces. The strange thing is that it is covered with holes of about half a meter each, and even the light cannot reach the end. I don’t know what they are used for.
Just when Zhenlongtai landed about thirty meters from the entrance of the square cave, we found that the surrounding water gradually turned into a light red color, and the color became darker as we went down.
Just when I thought of something, both the monkey and the fat man exclaimed, saying that there was something inside those cave entrances. I looked over attentively, and soon found that there were faint blood-red eyes in the dark cave entrances, because it was too dark inside to see
Find out what it is.
It was also when we first discovered these things that suddenly many black shadows came out of the cave entrances. If we looked closely, we found that they turned out to be strange fish with strange shapes.
These strange fish are more than one meter long. They are dark and round like black fish, but their mouths are extremely large, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. The strange thing is that these strange fish have only one eye, which is blood red.
The color occupies one-third of the forehead, and there are two hand-like fins growing on their abdomen, which is very weird.
You can tell at a glance that these strange fish are extremely ferocious carnivorous creatures. It is estimated that the few people on Mr. Zhang’s side were poisoned by them. Sure enough, as soon as these strange fish saw us, they all pounced on us, one after another.
The man banged his head crazily against the transparent partitions around us, causing the entire Dragon Zhen platform to shake violently.
However, despite their great strength, the surrounding compartments are also strong enough and never showed any signs of damage, which made us all sigh in relief.
As the Zhenlong Platform descended deeper and deeper, the number of those strange fish began to slowly decrease, and the caves going down became smaller and smaller. In the end, they could only barely accommodate the passage of the Zhenlong Platform. When the stone cave below
When the reflection gradually appeared in the depths, we knew that we were finally reaching the end, and we couldn't help but feel very excited, because the secret that no one had solved for thousands of years was finally coming to us.
Naturally, there were no violent sparks from the collision, and we didn't even feel it when Zhenlong Platform stopped landing. Only when bluestone slabs with patterns painted on them appeared in front of our feet did we know we had reached the end.
I saw at a glance that a one-foot-sized stone slab was missing in the center of the Zhenlong Terrace, so I asked the monkey to compare the stone slab we snatched up and down. The result was that the size was just right. I guess it was the right size.
A stone slab was taken from below.
However, apart from these stone slabs, nothing was seen around. The surroundings were completely empty, and there was no way to hide anything.
"Why is there nothing? Did we come here in vain?" The fat man's greed showed up again. He kept looking around with a pair of small eyes, muttering in his mouth. "Damn it, Mr. Gua, I
Originally, I wanted to get two fine artifacts as family heirlooms, but my shop is also in dire straits and needs support, but in the end, my trip was in vain. I am so unlucky, Mr. Gua."
I was about to speak, but Monkey beat me to it, and he said, "Well, we're not even halfway along the road yet. Why are you so anxious? You're not happy when I say you're stupid. Even if you really have a treasure, who will?"
Will it be placed in such a conspicuous place waiting for you to pick it up?"
"Mud monkey, what do you mean?"
"Hey, have you forgotten what Hutou said at the beginning? This place is a boring gourd, and maybe there is a place underneath. Think about it, who has treasures that wouldn't be hidden in a more secret place?
So, I bet that all the good treasures here must be hidden in the belly of that gourd."
The fat man's eyes immediately lit up, and he smiled evilly and said to the monkey: "Ni Monkey, if this is really the case, can we do it again this time?"
"Hey, there's nothing more to say, I'm just waiting for your words."
Listening to what they said, my heart couldn't help but move. In fact, I never thought that there might be a world below, but the monkey's words suddenly reminded me of the terrain here. There is probably a space below the gourd that leads directly to the top.
. But what I am worried about is that the space under the lake will be filled with water. Now this Dragon Zhentai has come to an end and has lost its biggest support. Even if there is still room underneath, we can
Is it still possible to go down?
Forget it, it seems too early to worry about this issue now. It is so meaningless to worry about who will raise the child before the wife is married. Let’s find the entrance first!
Regarding the entrance, in fact, this problem can be solved with a little thinking. There are only two exits in this closed space, one is the big cauldron above, and the other is where the water came in just now. It is definitely not the one above.
, then there is only one place left below. The exit below is closely connected to the stone slab under the cave, so if there is a way out, it must be directly below the exit below.
The design of this place is very clever. Now the surroundings of this huge cave have been blocked by the Dragon Zhentai. This is also convenient for us. Otherwise, as soon as we open the entrance, water will pour in, and even if we go down, there will be no water.
We can't bear the pressure brought by such a deep lake. Now as long as Zhenlongtai is there, we can open the exit at will without worrying about water pouring in again, so that we can calmly find a way out below.
The monkey twisted the knot in the corner three more times, and we saw that the exposed exit was about one meter in size. Since the water was only as deep as our knees, we easily pulled up the several stone slabs below.
What is exposed below is some gray-black hard soil, which should be the soil layer formed by the corrosion of some stones over a long period of time.
We didn't find much at first, but that didn't stop the fat man, who was a dragon from the river. He took out two willow leaf shovels, twisted the tops, pulled out a probe rod several meters long, and then pulled it out along the way.
Push it into the soil at the entrance of the hole.
It went well at first, but when the probe rod reached about one meter into the soil, it couldn't be inserted anymore. The fat man tried the probe rod twice and it still didn't move. He stopped, put his ear to it, and flicked it with his fingers.
A few times, then he held the probe rod and turned it vigorously a few times, and finally pulled it out slowly.
After looking and smelling at the top of the probe, the fat man suddenly became happy and said to us: "The bottom is metal, it should be green."
"Bronze?" I couldn't help but feel shocked. This was a major discovery, and it also strengthened our confidence.
