This is a cave entrance more than two meters high. All traces of bronze at the entrance have melted, and the original appearance cannot be seen.
But judging from these traces of melting, there used to be many bronzes here, some twisted like snakes, and some square.
I think this cave originally had a door, and there were bronze sculptures, altars, large tripods, etc. at the door.
However, now they have been melted by the flames for a long time, and they can no longer see any form at all, turning into lumps of bronze cakes.
They stepped on the solidified bronze and walked inside. After groping their way into the dark cave entrance, it immediately became dark.
But they immediately discovered that the geographical conditions of this place were very special. After entering, it became very muddy under their feet, like a swamp, and there was still some residual warmth in the soft mud.
Chen Zhi estimated that there should be a lot of metal mixed in the mud.
Perhaps because of the long-term high-temperature combustion, many things are fused together.
And because it was watered by the sea of ice just now, everything here was instantly cooled and smoked, and the solidification state of many objects was unstable.
Some things appear to be solidified, but quickly melt and then solidify again.
It's like molten iron thrown into ice water repeatedly!
Because the depth under their feet was unpredictable, they did not dare to sink too deep and tried to find drier places to walk.
Soon, the darkness here completely engulfed them.
Although it is dark inside, there is nothing that interferes with the light.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the surrounding field of vision is still very good.
They first went to see if there were any murals or anything like that on the walls. Usually in a cave like this, there would be some decorations on the walls.
This will help people get a preliminary understanding of the environment here.
But the rock walls here have completely melted, and there is a thick slurry hanging on them.
It's exactly the same as those half-melted things outside.
The structure here is not too complicated, with one small hole connected to another, just like a porous grotto.
Every time you walk a certain distance, the ethereal and weird sound in front of you will come out, making people feel chilled all over.
After entering the cave, the sound became clearer.
Chen Zhi was now almost certain that it was a wailing sound, because the wailing was so pitiful and indescribable that it sounded so frightening.
And along with this wailing sound, there was an extremely indescribable smell permeating the place.
The smell is like blood and burnt smell.
If I have to describe it, it feels like someone has been grilling it for a long time.
I don’t know if it’s because Jian Di’s fearful look just now was so scary.
Or is it because humans have an innate intuitive sense of death, and everyone feels the existence of danger.
For the rest of the journey, everyone kept walking forward in silence, without speaking to each other.
Everyone seems to know what is hidden in this quiet darkness, and they don't want to disturb the things in this darkness.
The further forward, the temperature in the air increases.
Later, the basic warning light on the work clothes flashed again, proving that the temperature was now over 42 degrees.
Every step they took after that, they were very careful, ready to face the heat wave coming at any time.
This hill is not too big. There are many caves in the middle, one after another, and the terrain is not complicated.
They passed through small caves one after another, gradually heading deeper into the hills.
The closer they got to the center of the hill, the more clearly they could feel the temperature rising again.
This kind of high temperature is no longer tolerated by the human body, and it increases very quickly, and the heat accumulates the further inside.
When we reached the last floor, the rock wall here turned red again, and the temperature on the surface of the work clothes had exceeded 80 degrees Celsius.
At this time, they also reached the end. There seemed to be a large blank area in front of them. It was impossible to visually determine the specific area because it was a fiery red and nothing else could be seen.
Temperature can make people's brains very nervous and their concept of time become very clear.
Everyone now understands one thing: the peace here is temporary.
It will heat up again soon.
The inside of this mountain is like a big oven, there must be something that can generate a lot of heat energy.
Now that Jian Di is dead, they no longer have the protection of Phoenix.
Once this place heats up again, they will be burned to ashes in an instant.
So in the current situation, they have no time to be afraid and no reason to pause.
The strong sense of crisis made them move forward quickly.
They stepped step by step to the flaming place in front of them, and then they discovered that there was a huge rotunda in front of them.
Everything in the rotunda makes your eyes hurt just by looking at it, because it is a sea of fire.
The color in the center of the rolling fire is very blue, and they are extremely hot flames.
Chen Zhi turned the glass piece on the mask into brown, and then tried hard to look at the center of the flame.
But what he saw there really shocked his soul.
I saw a raging fire burning in the fiery red hall. The flames were very fierce, burning upward in waves, emitting extremely high heat energy.
And in the middle of the blazing fire, there was a huge copper pillar that reached the sky. The copper pillar was carved with ancient patterns, all painted with gold, shining in the flames, leading straight up.
And in the middle of the copper pillar, there was an extremely strange corpse hanging.
The body was charred black, wearing a royal robe woven with pure gold silk, and a red gold crown on its head. It was hung on the huge copper pillar and burned, exuding a burning smell...
The whole body had been burned into a black strip, and many places had been carbonized, making it impossible to see the face clearly, but his hands were tightly holding a long metal box.
As if that was the most important thing in this corpse's life.
I don't know why, although the body was completely burned beyond recognition.
But Chen Zhi only took one look and almost confirmed his identity.
That is the legendary dissolute and immoral King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin!
