The hole was too dark to see clearly, so Kate asked Steven to go up and take a closer look.
Steven approached the entrance of the cave and concentrated on taking a closer look. There was a passage inside the cave, which was the same size until about 10 meters deep. At the end, there was a rock wall, but there seemed to be a gap on the side of the wall.
Steven said: "I'll go in and take a look, you wait outside."
Kate said: "Okay, be careful and don't enter the ruins."
Steven nodded, lit a torch, and then bent down and entered the passage.
Steven crouched down and walked in the passage. The four walls of the cave were made of granite. The first few meters he entered was very humid, but after a few meters it became very dry.
Soon he came to the rock wall and found that the passage turned a corner and went sideways to the right. Steven followed the passage and turned in. After a few meters, the passage turned left again.
Then walk forward a few meters and come to the edge of a large space. The wind is blowing outward from this space.
Steven extended the flaming torch out of the hole, and at the same time, he looked out and found that it was a walkway. The ventilation channel he was in was located near the ceiling of the walkway. The height of the walkway was about 5 meters and the width was about 3 meters.
Steven looked for a while and saw that there was nothing in the corridor. Steven turned back and squatted forward, and after a while he exited the corridor.
Kate was waiting outside. After Steven came out, he described the situation inside, and then said: "Kate, this vent should lead to the inside of the ruins. It's very dark inside that corridor. I can't see the end. I think
We should plan something."
Kate said: "Let's go back to the camp first. We need to plan carefully. Now let's restore the rock first." The two pushed the rock to its original position, covered it with some soil, and then returned to the camp.
After returning to the camp, the two of them carefully discussed their next move and decided to be ready to enter the ruins the next day. First, they should be prepared to retreat to the camp at any time outside the ruins and to retreat to the valley from where they came.
Including the route from the cave entrance to the ground, the route back to the camp, and the route to the valley when retreating from the camp. Mark this route. You also need to make some traps to prepare for emergencies. At the same time, you need to find a few temporary
The hiding place, after making all preparations, enter the ruins on the third day.
In the blink of an eye, it came to the morning of entering the ruins. After making all preparations, the two of them arrived at the hole in the pyramid with the necessary equipment.
The two of them first carefully checked the vicinity of the cave entrance. After confirming that there were no problems, they moved away the rocks that were put back that day. Then, after carefully checking the equipment, Steven led the way, followed by Kate, and entered the ventilation channel.
.
Kate used branches to cover the entrance of the passage. After passing through a turn of more than ten meters, the two of them came to the end of the ventilation passage. Below was the horizontal walkway.
There is a height of about 4 meters from here to the ground of the walkway below. Steven jumped down lightly. He did not take a torch. While waiting for Kate, he first concentrated on observing the directions to the left and right of the walkway. The floor of the walkway was clean and tidy.
.
In the dark, he could see the general situation dozens of meters away. This ability was very suitable for exploring the ruins, Steven thought.
At this time, Kate, who was in the ventilation channel, had already hung a leather rope down. The other end of the rope was tied to a strong wooden stick, and the wooden stick was stuck horizontally on the rock side walls on both sides of the ventilation channel. Although the two of them
It was completely possible to jump onto the ventilation duct without pulling on the rope, but they still made the most unfavorable plan.
Then the two of them stayed in the corridor for a few minutes. After that, Steven took the lead and Kate held the torch behind. They headed to the right side of the corridor. According to the plan, they planned to find facilities such as downward stairs and explore downward first.
Arrive at the ground level. If there are layers inside the ruins, explore the upper levels after exploring the ground level.
After they walked dozens of meters along the side of the walkway in the dark, they discovered a doorway on the left side of the walkway.
The doorway was about 3 meters high and 2 meters wide. There was a large room inside. Steven carefully probed into the room and looked around. Except for a few huge stone pillars, he found nothing else in the middle of the room.
Kate drew a mark on the doorway outside the corridor, and then the two of them entered the room carefully. There was a thick layer of dust on the floor of the room, and the four walls were also made of granite. There was a row of three huge stone pillars in the middle.
The side length is about 3 meters wide, and it is also made of the same granite as the wall.
The height of the room was very high, and the ceiling was visually estimated to be about ten meters. The two of them searched the room, but found nothing else.
Passing through the room through the doorway they came in, there was also a doorway on the opposite side. Outside the doorway was still a walkway, exactly the same as the walkway they came from.
Steven said softly: "Kate, there may have been a lot of things in this room originally, but tens of thousands of years have passed and everything has turned into ashes."
Kate replied: "It seems that this corridor connects many rooms. There may have been many people inside this pyramid when it was in use. There must be a lot of equipment, furniture and other things, but they have all been corroded by time. What can be preserved
The things must be very precious!”
So the two of them returned to the corridor they had just entered and continued their search. After walking a few dozen meters further, another doorway appeared on the left, with the same specifications as the doorway just now. The two of them went in again and carefully explored it.
, everything is the same as the last room, except for the granite pillars and the dust on the ground, nothing else remains.
The two of them returned to the corridor and walked forward. After passing another room, this room was still the same as the previous two.
At this time, the walkway reached the end, and they came to the end of the walkway. There was a ladder on the right side of the walkway, and they could go down to the next floor.
Other vents were found in the walkway near the stairs. This staircase was also made of granite and was well preserved. There was some dust on it. After Kate marked it, the two of them carefully walked down the staircase.
After a few twists and turns, we arrived at the lower level, where the stairs were still connected to the same walkway as above.
The walkway extended to the left and right, but there were no stairs to go down here. The two decided to explore to the left first. After walking not far along this walkway, they saw the doorway of a room. The two entered the room carefully. This room was smaller than
The room on the upper floor was even bigger and seemed to be taller.
The granite pillars in the middle have become two rows, and the distance between the two rows of stone pillars is about ten meters.
There is a doorway with the same specifications opposite the doorway you just entered. The ground here is still covered with a thick layer of dust.
The whole room was extremely silent. Only the torch in Kate's hand made a slight crackling sound when it was burning. The places where the fire did not shine were completely dark. The huge space, the extreme silence and the surrounding darkness made people seem to be able to hear their own voices.
The heart is beating loudly!
Just as the two of them were carefully searching the room, Steven suddenly heard some noises!
