The only thing that was fortunate was the clothes the two of them were wearing, so they didn't need to tidy them up even after coming out of the water.
It's just that the fire starters are all damp and can't be used now.
The only option is to explore in the dark.
Because they couldn't see clearly, it was not suitable for the two of them to be too far apart, so they held hands and groped forward.
It is basically certain that it is still in the hinterland of the mountain. Based on the distance traveled by the undercurrent, it should be relatively far away from the center of the earth.
But now they can also smell the smell of rotten eggs.
Zhang Long also knew that this smell was actually the smell of sulfur, which also meant that the places with magma they just passed through might just be the mouth of an active volcano.
It is not surprising that there are volcanoes on many small islands in the ocean.
Even those volcanoes erupt from time to time, which is not surprising.
So it's not surprising that the water contains a lot of sulfur and other minerals.
And from where they came up, the water there was still at a certain temperature, and it felt like taking a hot spring bath.
So when they came out of the water, it wasn't as cold as when they entered the ice platform.
We don’t know how this strange geographical phenomenon was formed, but Zhang Long and the others are not in the mood to pursue these things now. The most important thing is to see where this place leads to.
The two people also walked forward hand in hand.
In such a completely dark place, if there is only one person, the psychological pressure will be greater for him, but it will be much better if there are two people.
Annie said to Zhang Long: "Why do I feel like you can see me? You are walking quite fast."
"That means even though I can't see, I still know the way to go."
Although Zhang Long's perception ability at this time was much worse than before he was on the verge of death, his ability to use sound waves to detect the environment has not been lost.
"Then why?"
"Because I can, like a bat, know the way to go by the sounds."
Zhang Long did not refuse to have a conversation with Annie. Anyway, he needed to make a sound when exploring the road.
"That's really awesome. I really long to have the same ability as you."
"Practice more, you should be able to do it too."
Zhang Long also felt that there were three passages in front of that vast river beach.
He chose the rightmost one and walked in.
Because the other two channels are very deep, I couldn't even detect the depth of the two channels at the first time.
As for the one on the right, you can feel the sound waves bouncing off the wall very quickly.
So Zhang Long chose this one because he wanted to see whether the passage was a wall or a door. After all, he could only feel the specific size of the space, but had no way of feeling whether the specific object was a wall or a door. He could only take Annie there in person.
have a look.
It seems that the two people are walking hand in hand. Now Annie is completely dependent on Zhang Long, so I don't know when it became Annie holding Zhang Long's arm.
Then he was led forward by Zhang Long.
"With you as my guiding light, it's much easier for me."
Annie also directly leaned her head on Zhang Long's shoulder.
"No problem, just close your eyes and relax, now look at me."
The two people entered the passage and did not go far before they came to the end of the road that Zhang Long had explored. Zhang Long stretched out his hand to explore in front.
It is indeed a wall.
But Zhang Long felt that this place should not be as simple as a wall for no reason. Otherwise, what would be the purpose of building a wall here?
If this were pure stone, Zhang Long might have turned around and left, because it was very likely that due to some unknown problem during the passage, he did not continue digging, so it was an abandoned passage.
But there is obviously a wall here, which fully proves that the other party had the intention to build this place.
If the wall on the left side of this passage is opened, it should lead to the road in the middle.
Therefore, Zhang Long felt that the wall on the left should not have anything fancy, so he focused on the right.
After some exploration, I finally found a small door.
Basically, it's the kind of door that a person can pass through.
Moreover, this door does not have any mechanism, or it needs to be opened with a key, it just opens with a push of the hand.
"Dear Zhang Long, you are really amazing, you can actually find something like this.
Without you, I think it would have taken me 10 times longer to find this place."
"Okay, let's not flatter each other. Let's hurry up and see where this place goes."
Zhang Long pulled Annie inside and soon discovered that this was just a small space.
It's about forty or fifty square meters.
It's very similar to the place where Zhang Long was blinded by the snake's venom last time.
Zhang Long couldn't help but wonder if there was a mechanism in the room similar to the one last time. Through this mechanism, a relatively secret door could be opened.
But Zhang Long is quite strange. Why do people here have to do so many weird tricks when they see them?
At first, Zhang Long thought that this place was completely built by the people of the ancient kingdom who built the bronze palace.
But now it seems that it is completely impossible for it to be built by those who were still in a slave society. Although it does not seem to have much technological content, it contains a lot of thought.
It is not in line with the thinking of those who are still in primitive society.
After Zhang Long and Annie entered the room, they detected through his sound waves that the room was empty, except that in a certain corner, there was something similar to a box.
It was a square cube.
It was obviously impossible to find out what material the thing was made of using sound waves, so Zhang Long also pulled Annie over and touched it with his hands, and it turned out to be a wooden box.
This is the first time Zhang Long has built a wooden box here.
I have seen boxes before, but they are all made of metal. Whether it is a metal box with reliefs engraved on six sides, or a box that can be used as a metal converter, the same is true for that box.
Although it is a wooden box, the material is definitely not ordinary wood, but made of iron plow wood.
The density of this kind of wood is quite high.
It also contains relatively little oil, making it a very strong material that is not easy to burn.
Before the advent of ironclads, this material was also the first choice for building long-distance ships.
