Chapter 17: The Vikings' Cache

It hurts, it hurts all over my body.

Xing Jie opened his eyes in pain, but it was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything except the occasional flash of fluorescence.

"Hall, Britta, Adams, where are you?"

Xing Jie lay on the ground and shouted loudly.

But it was quiet, and there was no sound.

Cold, at this time, Xing Jie found that he was lying in a pool of stagnant water. Well, although the water is cold and biting, fortunately, it is still flowing, and at the same time, this ice water is constantly stimulating Xing Jie's nerves, making his already groggy and somewhat wooden head stay awake at all times.

I moved my limbs, yes, I still have consciousness.

It's great, it's the greatest luck. It hurts all over my body, which is a good thing, and it proves that there is nothing wrong with me. It seems that one of the ribs is broken, but it doesn't matter, although it hurts, but it can still be tolerated.

But where did everyone else go now? The earthquake came so suddenly, and the earth shook slightly. And then there was nothing more, and the whole ruin collapsed in an instant.

At that time, he and Becker were still at the forefront, talking and laughing while exploring the way.

It's a ruin, but it's just a pirate's den. According to Adams' research of the items left behind, it was a pirate colony in the 8th century AD. However, Xing Jie expressed great contempt for this inference.

Where is this? Lake Rüss, hundreds of miles away in a straight line on the nearest harbor alone! Are these pirates crazy? I have never heard of pirates setting up their nests inland far from the coast. If a pirate is far away from the sea, is he still a pirate? a gangster who is not even a bandit.

However, this Viking ruin seems to be an exaggeration, as it appears to be not just a treasure room or a stinking pirate colony, but also a church or a temple. The buildings in the cave are so exquisite, the murals carved on the walls are vivid and vivid, the characters are fully depicted, and the stories told by the murals are also very full. Everyone is excited about this.

Britta, who is familiar with Nordic history, points to the mural and explains to Xing Jie. In fact, even if she doesn't say it, Xing Jie can guess eight or nine. Since it is a shrine, it is natural that they will boast about the main god they believe in.

Extrapolating from this, it's simple. Mighty, brilliant, all kinds of lofty, naturally is the righteous side, then the place where they stay is needless to say, is Asgard, where Odin, the big bull, stays, if you carefully calculate, it is often said to be heaven. The opposite of Asgard, do you still need to think about it? Naturally, it is Niveheim, which is what we call the hellish places of the underworld, hell, etc.

Everyone was very excited, especially Xing Jie. Accustomed to the grandeur and inevitability of prehistoric ruins, it was refreshing for him to suddenly see this kind of pure archaeology.

It's true that the Vikings specialize in combat. But their nautical skills and creativity were also unique in Northern Europe at the time. Xing Jie was delighted to see this exquisite architecture, but what made Becker and the others even more excited was the discovery of warships and a large number of treasures in several rooms.

At that time, this unique treasure shocked Adams, Britta, Cocola and others. It is true that the Vikings were not afraid of death, and they believed that death was nothing more than a trip to another world, so they put in large sums of money to cover their expenses on the way, which is known as the 'pirate's funeral'.

However, that is only a phenomenon that occurs at funerals. I had never heard of Vikings burying their ancestors in a fixed place. And there is no record that any Vikings would put together a solemn religious place and a burial chamber!

Another point is that this so-called pirate treasure is a bit too large. And its layout gave Xing Jie a very bad feeling. It is very similar to the layout of the underground palace of the Forbidden Mountain, and Xing Jie at that time ignored the obstruction of others and desperately dug up the decoration on the wall of the passage only to find that it was a very ordinary rock layer. It is completely different from the previous construction method with a very sci-fi quality, and after being removed according to Cocola's 3D sampling and data simulation, what is revealed in front of everyone is a cave that is very similar to the site of the Forbidden Mountain.

For this, only Xing Jie has the right to speak now.

Looking at the simulation made by Lilia, Xing Jie could only shake his head helplessly.

The passages, the layout of the warehouses, the branches of the central control area and here are very imaginary. It is completely one-third of the appearance of the Forbidden Mountain Ruins, the only difference is that this is purely a rough embryo house, and in comparison, the Forbidden Mountain Ruins is just a well-decorated model house.

The result of the discussion was that it was abandoned when it was built, and God knows why. Maybe it's because the scenery isn't enough well. After countless years, a group of Viking berserkers discovered the place, marveled at its magic, and made it a temple or an important place of worship for the tribe.

Xing Jie sat up, his backpack still there. That's good, at least for a while and a half, no one will die. After all, after the Three Bottles Mountain incident, Xing Jie's arrangement of food reached a psychopathic level.

Looking at the food in the bag, Xing Jie felt that he was really too far-sighted.

He took out the glow stick and folded it slightly, and the faint blue light illuminated the surroundings. Next to him was a corpse, and if you looked at the clothes, it was poor Becker. It was so miserable that the entire upper body was smashed under the boulder, and he was completely unsaved. If he hadn't pushed himself at the time, maybe he would be lying here now.

Xing Jie touched his head and felt slimy. The slightest pain still reminds me of my luck at the time, needless to say, I must have been hit by a stone, although my head was broken and bleeding, but I thought that this was underground, plus an earthquake. It's already a great luck to be alive, so don't complain about anything.

Now there are two options, the first is to wait for rescue. After all, there were more than a dozen people behind, and they were busy taking pictures and videos at that time, and they were a little far away from the exit, and the location of the large army was not very far from the exit, so it should not be particularly difficult to get out of trouble. As long as one of them can escape, then he will never be given up!

The second is to save himself, because there is something that makes Xing Jie feel very incredible. In this deep underground, there is a trace of wind, and I feel gently, although this wind is slight, but the air brought is very fresh.

There was only a hissing of radio currents on the radio, and it seemed that either no one had escaped, or the signal here was just too poor. Xing Jie expressed contempt for the instruments provided by the US imperialists. Damn, the mentally handicapped routines that are common in movies have reappeared on my body. If you can get out this time, you must settle accounts with Cocola and Lilia!

Now that I have time, my own supplies are quite sufficient, although a rib is broken, but it's okay. The road ahead doesn't seem to have collapsed, but it's still intact. If you go a little further, you should be fine.
