Chapter 165: The Collapse Begins
The crystals spread throughout the square are very special.
No one knows exactly what that kind of thing is. Hard, almost as hard as steel. At one time, this crystal was thought to be a type of silicon crystal. However, there is no such cold feeling at all.
To the touch, it feels like the warmth of beeswax.
I had always thought that the crystals they had found were made by those giants in some way, but now it seems that these crystals are actually the trunks of some kind of tree?
But what kind of tree would have such a core? It's hard to imagine that in the entire hinterland of the snow-capped mountains, the land of this giant clan can basically be said to be built on this crystal.
The whole square is paved with crystals, and among the crystals there is a mysterious golden bird twelve-toothed mango ring. Not only that, but under the entire square, there is a cave nearly 100 meters deep, although I haven't looked closely, but I have also roughly glanced at it. The entire cave is also made of those crystals.
If this crystal is really some kind of tree trunk, how many trees would it take to build such a magical place, and why has it not been found in the world until now?
Xing Jie pondered as he observed the strange tree.
It's just that if you look closely, this trunk and that crystal still look a little different.
First of all, the color of the trunk of this tree is not the brilliant flowing gold, but a faint goose yellow, and even a little bit of green.
Secondly, the stiffness of the trunk is a little too soft.
Compared to the indestructibility of the crystals under his feet, the transparent trunks here are only very similar in shape, but the hardness is far worse. When Xing Jie removes the epidermis of the trunk, he occasionally cuts off a part of it when the knife is heavy, as if the trunk is just transparent, and the others are no different from ordinary trees.
Now this situation is a headache for Xing Jie.
It's not impossible to cut off a piece and take it away, but it's hard to say what this thing is for, and how much it can be sold for? After all, this thing is just a rarity, and it may be sold for a good price when you meet a big collector who likes to hunt for curiosities, but this kind of injustice is really hard to come by, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind. Spending a lot of money to buy such a thing, Xing Jie asked himself, he would never do this.
Just when Xing Jie hesitated, an exclamation came from the headset.
"Professor, the outer crystals of the entire cylinder are beginning to disappear at an accelerated rate. Moreover, the cylinder itself began to have a new change. Come and have a look. ”
This is not a trivial matter, because the entire eight places have pinned all their hopes on this excavation. This can be said to be a big gamble by Major General Ye and those in power, who won and went further. If you lose, it will be really miserable.
As far as the current situation is concerned, everything is found to be so smooth, although Major General Ye and the others did not show any special joy, but Xing Jie could feel it.
It is unreasonable to be able to endure oneself again and again.
In Lop Nur, he couldn't even take a dagger with him, but now he was willing to acquiesce to Xing Jie and their greed for ten black and red diamonds? Do you really regard yourself as a confidant? Don't joke, everyone is an adult, and they care about interests. At that time, if they really didn't give any to Xing Jie, a few rookie newcomers could only stare dryly!
Major General Ye rushed out with the young man and Professor Yang in a hurry, and ran directly to the monitoring office. He just yelled at Xing Jie, asking him to temporarily lead the people here to clean up this place quickly, and be ready to evacuate at any time.
"Brother Jie, something is not quite right. ”
"Less and more mouthful. Is that something you know? It's none of our business. Just do a good job, but the eyelids are all for me to be active, once there is danger, don't rush forward so stupidly, don't know? Once there is a change here, it will definitely be a natural disaster, whoever touches it will die! ”
"Gotcha. ”
Xing Jie's face was not very good-looking, it was fine, why did such a sudden change occur? Moreover, even the column itself began to have problems, that is, I am really afraid that there will be a big change here.
"Lao Li, do you hear it?"
"Squeak, you're a mouse, what's wrong, I'm busy!"
Listening to Li Sishi still having the mind to joke there in the headphones, Xing Jie was even more puzzled. Could it be that the change in this pillar has nothing to do with their side?
Just when Xing Jie was wondering, the entire mountain suddenly shook. And the source of this violent vibration seems to come from a deeper bottom.
But this earthquake came and went so fast, in less than thirty seconds, there was no movement at all, as if everyone here had just experienced a collective hallucination.
"What's going on, is there an earthquake?" said one of the recruits, alarmed.
"Calm down! What is there to be alarmed about? Our place is right in the Himalayan earthquake zone, and it is normal for one or two earthquakes to occur once in a while! It has been safe and sound here for so many years, and believe me, this little scene is ......."
Before Xing Jie's words were finished, several stones about the size of a grinding disc fell down with a clatter, and smashed directly on the square outside the temple.
Rubble flew and dust and smoke rose everywhere. And the originally magnificent and magical, incomparably hard crystal ground was directly smashed out of several huge cracks.
Damn, it's really faceless. Lao Tzu's words to stabilize the army's heart haven't been finished yet, is this a slap in the face?
"There's an earthquake, it's normal for people to drop a few rocks, right, we're going to ......"
Boom, boom, and a few more massive stones fell.
I'm going to go, something is wrong, it looks like it's going to collapse!
"! The ground is going to collapse. What are you doing there in a daze? Hurry up and withdraw for me!" Xing Jie roared angrily, and directly woke up a few people who were still in a daze.
It was quite safe just now, but in a blink of an eye, it was like a rain of rubble, and the roar of Major General Ye's retreat on the radio occupied all the channels.
"Leave those things alone, grab the box and evacuate quickly!" Xing Jie pulled a few rookies who were still there in a daze and pushed them out directly.
"Lao Li, have you come out? Hurry up and speak. How's the guys, Tiger?"
"Lao Tzu's ears are almost deafened by you, and he is evacuating without sacrifice. However, Professor Li's head was smashed and he fainted, and Ding Jiang was carrying him on his back. We're out of the cave!"
Damn it. This Li Sishi was lucky, but he was smashed, in this case, it was luck that he didn't die. Just like those unlucky people who were stoned to death, Xing Jie had already pushed out a few of them with scolding, but they were still there in a daze, who would die if they didn't die?
There was no help, one was smashed into pulp on the spot, and the other had his head cut off by flying stone fragments. Two others were pierced through their skulls directly by a splash of rubble.
They are all elite talents, and they died here like this.
There was no one left, and Xing Jie began to flee out of the apse. Just as he passed by the courtyard, another boulder fell, and it smashed directly into the courtyard.
The stirred shock wave shook Xing Jie out at once.
And the dead branches and rotten leaves that have accumulated in the courtyard for countless years have long been condensed into one, and they are naturally splashing everywhere in this shock wave. Several ball-shaped things were directly shocked and flew up, and two of them were directly splashed into Xing Jie's arms.
This huge impact broke several of his ribs on the spot, and his internal organs were also injured, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Xing Jie's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.
Just when Xing Jie was about to fall, he was helped up. It's the recruits under him. At this time, there are only these few people who can save him.
