Chapter 0220 Second Abyss Expedition
As night falls, you can see a long and narrow sky in the canyon, which flows quietly overhead like a river wrapped in stars. The forest was not quiet, with the cries of various insects coming and going, and occasionally the roar of a wild beast. I don't know who it's announcing to anyone that this is its territory, or if it's just boring in the jungle.
A campfire was filled with people.
This bonfire was handled by himself from collecting firewood to making a fire, and he was busy sweating.
"Jianmi, go back to the tent and rest, we have a meeting, there are some things you can't listen to. Ji Wengui said.
Jian Mi touched the back of her head and smiled innocently, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep." ”
Watching Jian Mi get into the tent, Ji Wengui said out loud: "I called you together for this meeting to hear everyone's opinions. Well, I'll talk about my topic first, we have found clues, the civilization and city of the Yin Moon people are about to surface, Dr. Ning is here at this time, and he is going to join our archaeological team, whatever you think in your heart, you don't have to worry about anything, you can say it. ”
A few members of the archaeological team, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks, and the scene is inexplicably quiet.
Ji Wengui said: "What are you doing here? This is not a trivial matter, this is a major matter, don't you have any thoughts in your hearts?"
Ma Tongtong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Team Ji, you said you wanted to know what we thought, and I also wanted to know what you thought." ”
Ji Wengui was slightly stunned, "Pony, what do you mean?"
Ma Tongtong said: "If it weren't for Dr. Ning last time, we would all have died in the miasma, and all of us here owe him his life." He came to protect us and offered to join our archaeological team, but you first said that you wanted to report to the leader, and then called us together for a meeting to hear our opinions, so what do you think in your heart?"
Ji Wengui's face had a little unhappy look, "What do I think? I am thinking about everyone's interests and the interests of the country. Although he saved us, it is true that we owe him a life, but everything is one thing. Do you think it's a coincidence that he didn't come early or late, but when we found important clues, he also offered to join our archaeological team? Also, who is he and where he lives, do we know him? We don't know him at all, but we want him to join our team, and when the city of the lunar people and the lunar civilization face the whole world in the future, should we say that he discovered it, or did we find it?"
Ma Tongtong's lips moved, and she wanted to say something but didn't say it.
In the final analysis, it is still a good word, if the archaeological team did not find any clues, they probably would not have such troubles, and they would get along happily with Ning Tao. But in the face of fame and fortune that is enough to shock the world and make his name go down in history, it is another matter.
Ji Wengui said: "I said that reporting to the leadership is just a pretext, and the decision is in our hands. Since you are not speaking, then let's raise your hands to vote, those who are in favor of Dr. Ning joining will raise their hands, and those who are not in favor will not raise their hands. Now that the voting begins, is there anyone in favor of Dr. Ning joining?"
Ma Tongtong raised his hand.
No one else raised their hand but her.
Just when Ma Tongtong was alone and raised his arms high, Ning Tao had already come to the end of the canyon. A mountain several kilometers high stood in front of him, and a short distance beyond it was the abyssal area that he and Qing Chai had discovered.
Ning Tao took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, at 10:03 p.m., but there was no signal. After a pause to determine a route, he poured spiritual power into his legs and ran towards a hillside.
There is a ladder under his feet, which not only allows him to borrow strength from the void and leap into the sky with the graceful posture of a white crane, but also allows him to run faster and easier, and even run out of the effect of "flying on the grass" in martial arts. Although he did not run on the tip of the grass, as soon as he stepped down, the grass under his feet first bent and then bounced, and the sight was like a flea jumping over the grass!
There are ladders under your feet, and even the void can be borrowed, let alone grass!
A mountain of several thousand meters, Ning Tao climbed to the top at eleven and three minutes. The cold wind was howling on the top of the mountain, the temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees, and there was snow in some leeward corners, giving people the feeling that they had suddenly come from autumn to winter.
Ning Tao raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and he quickly discovered the location of the abyss, and the mountain peak at his feet was its end. He observed the terrain and said secretly in his heart: "If that abyss is a sea trench and this mountain blocks it, but will there be a dark ditch under this mountain? Otherwise, how could the brick that Yang Chen picked up rush outside?"
The process of observing the terrain and determining the route was also a process of rest, and after a few minutes, Ning Tao left a blood lock on the top of the mountain, and then ran down the mountain.
Three minutes in the morning, Ning Tao came to the end of the abyss only a few kilometers away from the foot of the mountain. Just like last time, the white fog shrouded under the abyss, and it was impossible to see the situation below clearly.
Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, ripped off an ordinary prescription slip with a blood lock on it, wrapped it in a ball of weeds, and then threw it into the abyss.
A few minutes later, a convenient door opened at the bottom of the abyss, and Ning Tao walked out of the aspect gate. There is a certain risk in doing so, but he is reluctant to tie the rope to the cliff, he doesn't know where he is going, he doesn't know how long he will stay, and it will be very troublesome to turn back and get the rope when the time comes. Then there is the courage of the artist, he didn't dare to do this before, but now that his strength has increased greatly, he has the confidence to do so, because even if it is a quagmire under his feet, he can also use the ladder under his feet to jump out with his strength, or simply turn back into the convenient door and return to the clinic.
Outside the gate of the aspect is not a quagmire, but a rocky beach. Ning Tao used the weak light of the mobile phone screen to illuminate it, and the volume of the stones was not large, but there were many of them. This confirmed his previous suspicion that it was once a trench and then evolved into a river, and usually the stones downstream of the river were very small, because they were swept here by the current, and they collided and wore down along the way, and the large ones became smaller.
Knowing that this was the end of the abyss, Ning Tao still walked in the direction he was going back and forth. He didn't go far before he saw a cliff that was nearly 90 degrees vertical, and there were signs of collapse on the cliff, and the collapsed rocks blocked the end of the abyss, like a steep hillside. If there was really a ditch that washed a brick from here to the outside, and then was picked up by Yang Chen, it could only be here. But to prove it, it would take digging up a huge amount of landslides, and he obviously didn't have the interest or the ability.
Ning Tao left the end of the abyss, and walked forward along the abyss with the help of the weak light of the mobile phone screen. This time, he made sufficient preparations, and there was a power bank growing in the small medicine box, which could charge his mobile phone.
Every time he walked a distance, Ning Tao would wake up his eyes and nose to look and smell to investigate, and sometimes he would even take out the earth-seeking inkstone and pour some ink to find out if there was any spiritual soil around.
At 3:15 in the morning, Ning Tao came to the place where he and Qing Chai had found the White Jade Holy Lotus. He jumped over several quagmires along the way, and if he hadn't practiced with a ladder under his feet, he would not have been able to get here if he could use his strength to walk on the ground.
The quagmire that gave birth to the White Jade Holy Lotus is still there, but the White Jade Holy Lotus has already moved to the Sword Pavilion Cave Mansion. Standing on the edge of the quagmire, Ning Tao's mind couldn't help but think of some scenes of that day. The green chase in the form of a snake demon, the snake tail full of scale armor, and the King Kong-like Shennongjia savage.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly, "Qing Chai is my concubine of destiny, it's not that I don't want to, but when I think of her snake demon form, I will"
In some cases, there is a place where you really can't get up.
Ning Tao shook his head, cleared out some of the messy imaginations in his head, and then took a breath, poured spiritual power into his legs, and jumped into the quagmire. The moment the toe of his right foot touched the surface of the quagmire, his feet bounced again as if a trampoline had been placed, and then his left foot was a little more on the quagmire, and his body leaped again, leaping over the quagmire in a few steps.
After the quagmire, Ning Tao continued to run forward.
The abyss shrouded in dense fog was pitch black, and the light emitted by the mobile phone screen could only illuminate a range of two or three meters. But in this harsh environment, Ning Tao ran at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. In the thick fog and darkness, the shaky phone screen is like a ghost fire, floating uncertainly.
At 4:17 a.m., Ning Tao stopped. There seemed to be something in the fog ahead, and it didn't move. His sixth sense also suddenly captured the feeling of a crisis coming, clear and sharp. He held his breath and awakened his eyes and nose to a state of seeing and smelling. Thousands of scents poured into his nostrils in an instant, the smell of rotting in the mire, the smell of rocks, the smell of dung, and the smell of the wild people of Shennongjia! His eyes also saw a colorful pre-temporal field, far more powerful than the pre-natural field of humans.
Obviously, what was hidden in the thick fog was a Shennongjia savage.
Ning Tao suddenly became nervous, a Shennongjia savage could not threaten him, but if that guy roared and attracted a group of friends, it would be a different matter. At the same time, he was a little excited, and found the Shennongjia Savage, which showed that it was possible to get closer to the ruins of the city of the Yin Moon People. It's hard to get here, you can't knock it back, right?
Ning Tao quickly calmed down, he turned off the phone screen, then held his breath and crept forward. He had a barge gun on his body, and his magazine was filled with twenty bullets. However, he didn't come out with a gun, just a regular prescription with a blood lock on it. If he is discovered, the Shennongjia savage attracts a group of friends, and he leaves. He wouldn't kill these precious creatures in order to find the city of the Lunar People, even if they kicked him like a ball.
In the thick fog, the colorful and excessively powerful precedent weather field was getting closer and closer
