"Don't worry, we have a lot of time to complain. Chen Taiyuan paused, "I'm curious, why is this thing so deep underground? Actually, maybe there's a basement here, right?!"

Since there's a basement, that means there's a passage, doesn't it?

Yes, the three women's eyes lit up at the same time, and they began to search everywhere. Sword Dance and Star Yarn even held the hilt of the sword and struck it on the ground, anyway, if the metal hit the cavity of the stone, the sound would definitely be different.

In less than half an hour, Xingsha suddenly shouted excitedly: "Here! Come and see here!"

All three of them leaned over and found that the smooth slate tiles did sound a little different when they were struck. But it's only slightly different, as if when the home paves the porcelain floor, there is no feeling of filling underneath.

Chen Taiyuan nodded: "Everything has shrunk, and this floor tile must have become smaller and thinner." If it's thicker, we won't be able to make out even if we knock here. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Kendance.

Chen Taiyuan squinted his eyes and said, "I mean, why did Huang Zheng and Xin Xuanlan know about the existence of the boat core in the first place, and they also found the boat on the other side here, but they couldn't find this boat core hidden underground?"

The Great Elder immediately understood, nodded and said, "Maybe this space hadn't collapsed so much at that time, and it was even two or three times larger than it is now. So even if they tapped each tile one by one, they couldn't hear the difference, and they could only mistakenly think that there was no second core here, so they left with only their one. ”

"No, they probably didn't even look underground. Chen Taiyuan said, "I think maybe they also have a way like Uncle Shi, and they can use the boat core in their hands to find another one." However, the effective distance of this method is only ten zhang, that is, thirty meters!"

The Great Elder immediately smiled: "Look at the fact that this boat core is still hidden fifteen meters deep underground, if this space hadn't collapsed fifty times at that time, even if it was twice as big as it is now, it would be equivalent to being buried thirty meters underground." So even if I came here at that time, I wouldn't have been able to search for its existence in this way. ”

It can only be said that the collapse is indeed a scary event, but it also has benefits. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to find a fourth boat core so deep underground.

Of course, this also means that the Spirit Race could have obtained this boat core in the first place, so it really cut off any hope of the foreign race. However, in the end, it was missed.

It's all fate.

Now that she had found it, Starveau stabbed the tip of her sword into the cracks in the stone tiles. The paving floor is really good, and it was not easy to pry the floor tiles open. But after prying it open, everyone was confused again!

There's only one hole the size of a basketball!

I thought I would pry open several floor tiles in a row to open a mysterious underground passage, but I didn't know that the passage was so small!

It's such a big hole as a basketball, and it goes down more than ten meters, and it even circles and twists to probe down...... How is this down!

Chen Taiyuan smiled bitterly: "You can't blame the ancestors who built this, you must know that everything was fifty times the original one." Now it is only 30 centimeters in diameter, but at that time it was a huge tunnel with a diameter of 15 meters, which is as wide as a two-way four-lane highway, and it can be called a large passage!"

Also...... I just said that I was fortunate to collapse, but now I find that the collapse has brought such new troubles.

What can we do? You can't drill down. And this stone is surprisingly hard, digging little by little with the sword? I am afraid that it has just been enlarged in a circle, and as a result, the space has shrunk a lot, so that the diameter is not enough...... It's even more painful.

"The main thing is that the sword is too soft, and it is better to use a crowbar. Sword Dance crouched at the edge of the cave and was at a loss.

Star Veil is full of clever ideas, such as if there were spirit worms, control a small lizard to get it, or if you have more * or something...... In the end, he was knocked on the head by the Great Elder, and then he stopped dreaming. Why don't you bring *?

Chen Taiyuan stood up and said, "There is a room next to it, see if there are any hard objects to borrow." In addition, let's not despair, the three hills here are all mixed with earth and stone, otherwise just polish the ground directly, why should the ancestors lay floor tiles. So when it comes to the bottom, it may not be all stones, and there may also be soft ground. Also, it can't be all dark tunnels below, it stands to reason that it should be a basement in the end, right? The basement must be much wider and higher than the tunnel, so we don't necessarily need to dig fifteen meters, maybe we can jump into it by digging about ten meters. ”

The Great Elder nodded and said, "This is the right word, don't be stunned, hurry up to the side and look for it, and see if there is anything that can be used." ”

I searched everywhere, but there were four cubicles next to it, and there was nothing. In fact, it can also be imagined that after Huang Zheng and the others came here, it must have been like a big sweep, taking everything they could with them. Even if it doesn't seem useful for a while, what if it can be studied in the future?

The four of them looked at each other, and their hearts were completely finished this time.

Chen Taiyuan sighed: "Either look around the mountain and see if there is any other passage to this basement, or see if you can find something like a crowbar." Anyway, don't be idle, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

What else can we do? In the future, there is no going on these days, so we have to make some hope.

Saying that, the four of them walked out of the cave, not only looking around the third mountain, but even the water in front of them and the foot of the second mountain. On this hot day, there are bare earth and rocks everywhere, and the more you look for it, the more frustrating it becomes.

It was so hot that he was sweating, Chen Taiyuan simply squatted on a rock, wiping his sweat and shaking his head. "I think it's really choking, bastard Zerg, when I left, the handling was too clean, and I was a moving company in my last life. ”

The Great Elder was also a little desperate: "Let's go back to the cave where we live in a while, and then find a way, and I have been active in this hot day, and I have drunk all the water I have brought with me, so I will go back to the cave to replenish some." ”

At this time, everyone was already preparing to leave, but suddenly Chen Taiyuan's eyelids jumped, because he felt a little movement. When I turned my head, I saw a small dirt mortar behind my buttocks, and there was a white and round thing in it.

A lizard egg!

The reason why I felt the movement was because the small lizard inside pecked through the eggshell and peeked out of the dirt.

Although the lizards on the outside are poisoned, the inside of the eggs is good. The little one's head came out and looked curiously at this new world. Stupid, he actually regarded Chen Taiyuan as his parents, right? Anyway, as soon as he opened his eyes, he stretched out his long tongue and licked Chen Taiyuan's arm.

He dared to let this little guy lick it, and if he changed someone else, he would be poisoned.

Maybe Xingsha and Sword Dance are really afraid of its poison, but Chen Taiyuan didn't deliberately keep a distance from it, so it felt that Chen Taiyuan was more intimate. After it was completely drilled out, it rubbed directly against Chen Taiyuan's thigh.

"This little guy is so big, it seems that these lizards are really evolved variants. Chen Taiyuan said while patting the little lizard's head. It is said to be a small lizard, but it is actually the size of a small earth dog, and it has to be forty or fifty centimeters long, not counting the tail.

Xingsha frowned: "Why are you touching it, stay away from it." ”

Chen Taiyuan stood up with a smile, and even grabbed the little lizard: "No, maybe our hopes are pinned on this little guy! I want to train it like a police dog, and strive to make it learn to take out the boat core under the ground like a puppy holding a frisbee! Haha, we still have a ready-made boat core to train it!"

The eyes of the three girls lit up at the same time!

What if you really let this little lizard learn to hold the boat core in the elder's hand first, like the police dog, and then send this little guy into that underground passage, and then encounter the fourth boat core at the bottom? It is said that he will instinctively take out the boat core as well, right?

Oh my God, this is almost the last hope.

Xingsha was suddenly happy: "I just said, get a spirit worm to control a lizard." It's not that way, but you're definitely inspired by me, aren't you?

"Admit it!" Chen Taiyuan smiled, covered the head of the little lizard and ran away, running directly to the cave where they lived outside the first mountain. I don't want the little lizards to see the corpses of those big lizards, what if I don't recognize him as a father.

Once we got to the cave, we started the training program. It's just that the three girls don't dare to approach this little poison easily, although its body is not big and there are not many toxins. Only Chen Taiyuan, who was invincible to all poisons, felt that it didn't matter, and kept holding the boat core in front of it.

At first, the little guy wasn't happy to pick up the metal object. But Chen Taiyuan got rhino beef, as long as the little guy was willing to take a mouthful, then feed it a mouthful of rhinoceros beef, and gradually it became a conditioned reflex.

Later, the training was even more powerful, that is, like training a puppy, throwing the boat core out and letting the little guy take it back. It didn't take long for this trick to become proficient again.

The next step is to bury the core in the earth, or bury it in the rubble, and let the little one find it himself. This step is a bit harder, but the rewards are great – if you find it, give it canned food. It's a fragrant meat product, and it tastes much better than the dry and fishy rhino beef.

Not many times later, even this trick was learned! It is worthy of being a mutated and evolved species, and its IQ is much smarter than that of its own father and mother.

But this process also took a full five days, and in two more days, it may usher in the first fateful gamble - will the world collapse. And the current state doesn't seem to be good, because in just five days, the frequency of fires in the sky is much higher, and it seems that the hole has become significantly smaller, which means that it has collapsed even more.

In two days, I don't know what will happen.

"If that's the case, it's fate. "The Great Elder is the most open-minded, "If a person can have a chance to encounter the collapse of heaven and earth in this life, it can be regarded as living with heaven and earth, creation." Let's go to the third mountain first and see if this little guy can find the boat core. ”

This is the last hope.

Chen Taiyuan picked it up and suddenly realized that the little guy had grown up a lot in the past few days. Considering that the tunnel may have shrunk a little more, I hope to drill down unimpeded.
