Chapter 165: The Abyss of Bones

The Abyss of Bones, a huge canyon complex covering an area of 2,700 square kilometers, has a total length of 450 kilometers, an average width of 15 kilometers, a maximum depth of 2,000 meters, and an average depth of more than 1,500 meters.

The Abyss of Bones is said to be the product of the last battle when the Fog Hidden Continent was broken and split from the Nine Screams Continent, that is to say, the key battle in which the Fog Hidden Continent was broken and split from the Nine Screams Continent was fought in the Bone Abyss.

According to incomplete historical data and legends, there were several forces gathered here at that time, a total of tens of millions of soldiers, that is the legendary platinum as much as a dog, crystals everywhere, jade is the deputy, diamonds everywhere in the era, tens of millions of such guys in a big melee, and finally steamed up a river of red rocks that was originally used as a battlefield, shattered the continental shelf, and finally tore the Wuyin Continent from the shelf of the Jiuxiao Continent.

At that time, half of the bones of tens of millions of soldiers were buried here, and since then this place has been called the abyss of bones. Because the resentment is too heavy and the murderous spirit is too strong, there is no grass here, and no one can survive. And the undead are roaming, the air of death lingers, and it is an absolute place of death.

When Gu Suke introduced Tang Dou to the abyss of bones in front of him, Tang Dou smiled.

"I don't know geology, but I can extrapolate from common sense. We all know that the Fog Hidden Continent split from the Nine Howls Continent, and the Fog Hidden Continent is located in the northwest of the Nine Howls Continent. Counting the drift of the continental shelf itself, the original location of the Wuyin Continent in the Jiuxiao Continent should also be on the west side! ”

"In other words, the Fog Hidden Continent should be connected to the Nine Screams Continent on the east side. If, according to what you just said, this abyss of bones in the extreme north is the connection point that was shattered at the beginning, then that means that the Wuyin Continent was originally shattered and separated from the Nine Howls Continent, and it also turned ninety degrees, turning the original east side into the north side? ”

"Do you believe that?" Tang Dou looked at Gu Suke with a smile.

The Thousand Souls Spirit Realm itself does not have a complete geology, but because there is a legend such as the Fog Hidden Continent, there are also academics that study it. Gusuke also has some research on this, although he does not particularly understand what Tang Dou mentioned, such as the continental shelf. drift and other terms, but also to know a general idea.

Therefore, under Tang Dou's reminder, he also felt that something was wrong.

Yes, it's quite an exaggeration for an entire continent to be shattered. Is it possible to turn 90 degrees after shattering?

"The ancient mighty people, the army of gods and demons, maybe there is really a power that we don't understand?" Du Mingwei is now not so restrained in front of Tang Dou. Because he found that as long as he didn't do things that exceeded the bottom line, Tang Dou was a rather easy-going person. It's not even easy-going, not quite like a platinum powerhouse.

Whether such a person has the majesty of a superior person or not for the time being, at least in the current situation, Du Mingwei's good impression of Tang Dou is still quite high, and he was broken by Tang Dou at the beginning, and he was forced to surrender a lot less.

"The Mighty of the Ancients? Indeed, they may have powers that we do not know and cannot imagine! Tang Dou nodded and agreed with Du Mingwei's guess: "But no matter how powerful you are, you also need to act according to the rules of this world." It's like no matter how powerful a person is, he can't lift himself up by the hair with pure strength. Gusuke. If you have a certain amount of research on geology, then you should also know that many strange things in the Fog Hidden Continent can actually find traces left by the Great War of Gods and Demons! ”

Gu Suke nodded.

Tang Dou continued: "This proves that even those powerful people in the battle of gods and demons, if they want to change the heavens and the earth, they will leave traces. Then, if the Fog Hidden Continent really turned ninety degrees at the beginning, it would definitely leave quite obvious traces on the coastline. There may be obvious fault zones, or there may be obvious twist lines, but have you ever heard of it? ”

Gu Suke only shook his head this time. He has been in the Fanged Tribe for twenty years, and he has not always been tormented with military and cottage management. Especially in the last few years, he was completely idle by Van Nitt, so he had a lot of time to study his hobbies. When he and Fannett had a good relationship, the pig's head got some books for Gusuke.

From these books, Gusuke knows a lot of things, but no matter what kind of literature or codex. There was no mention of what Tang Dou said.

After all, the Fog Hidden Continent has always been full of various mysteries, and the Great War of Gods and Demons took place more than 20,000 years ago, and the relevant historical documents have long been lost, leaving only various legends.

But the more this is the case, the more people are going to study it. After all, in this world where strength is respected, everyone will yearn for the legendary level of power in ancient times.

As the most direct recipient of the Great War of Gods and Demons, and the location with the most ruins, the Fog Hidden Continent has actually been studied by various scholars for a long time.

More than five hundred years ago, there was a period of time when the entire Thousand Souls Soul Realm was engaged in a great revival of civilization, and many scholars gathered in the Fog Hidden Continent, which was probably the most peaceful period of time in the entire Thousand Souls Soul Realm. And a lot of the information about the Fog Hidden Continent was also studied at that time.

So if there are really those traces that Tang Dou said, then they will definitely be found in that period and thus recorded. But in fact, nothing.

"Is the legend a complete nonsense?" Gusuke seemed to have tasted something: "Although the history of antiquity is basically all legends, the legends are not without wind and waves, and there are some truths in the end." It is simply impossible for a complete falsehood to be disseminated. ”

"All the research on the Abyss of Bones is the Renaissance five hundred years ago!" Du Mingwei is not a scholar, nor is he as interested as Gu Suke, but he also understands legendary places like the Abyss of Bones.

"Indeed, the oldest records I can find are from 500 years ago. Although the original Renaissance ended in the end, it was indeed as rigorous as possible, and many completely false legends were denied and dispelled at that time. And some new legends also started at that time! Gu Suke touched the bridge of his nose, thought carefully and deliberated, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Could it be that the legend of the Abyss of Bones is itself a false news deliberately made up at that time?"

"Fake news? What's the use? Du Mingwei still didn't know why. This kind of thing is not what he is good at.

"There is a big river that leads directly to the extreme north, if you go north by boat, the speed is far faster and more convenient than taking the land route, and there is indeed no trace of large-scale demon beast gathering in the bone abyss, it can be said to be a fairly safe place. So why is no one going down this path? Instead, it is necessary to open up another and further one. A more dangerous and strenuous overland route? It was Tang Dou who spoke, and he looked at Du Mingwei with a smile.

Du Mingwei is not a fool, he is not good at analyzing the fact that this kind of thing is right now. But if you don't understand this step, you're stupid.

"Wait, my lord, you mean to say all the legends of the Abyss. In fact, you want to hide this place, and you don't want anyone to come here? Du Mingwei's eyes widened, looking at the entrance of the abyss of bones in the distance, his eyes had completely changed.

"It's a simple way to push people's hearts, and it's also a pretty effective way, isn't it? If there is no danger in the Abyss, then there will be a lot of people here, and even homeless people will set up settlements here. If the abyss of bones is just a simple matter of how many people come and how many people die. Then there must be those who want to understand the situation here, and why everyone who comes here dies! ”

Tang Dou's words turned on the last "switch" in Du Mingwei and Gu Suke's minds, and they had already understood.

"But if the Abyss of Bones becomes the legendary place of death. People know why people are dying here, and there is more evidence that how many people have died here. So who would waste time, effort and life for a 'clear' death? Gu Suke's eyes shone brightly.

Du Mingwei's eyes narrowed: "And at this time, the abyss of buried bones has become a safe and reliable hiding place where no one disturbs!" If you want to do something here, you're not afraid of being discovered. ”

"You see, we followed the trail of the small displaced settlements that had disappeared, and we made our way north, and finally came to the entrance of the abyss. Add to that our little speculation, so what conclusions can be drawn? Tang Dou spread out his hands and smiled.

Warren and others, who have been listening to the audience, have long understood. The way he looked at the living abyss of the bones was very different.

"We will face an astonishing enemy with a long history that we never imagined! They have been laying out for 500 years since 500 years ago, and only now are they showing their clues. Regardless of whether it is a coincidence. An accident, or the enemy thinks the time has come. Our task this time is not easy! Song Ming let out a long breath, his tone heavy.

Whether it was the tunnels left behind by the Grim Army and the Tower, or the traces found later in various small dismissing settlements, it all ended up in the abyss.

If everyone still believes in the legend of the abyss of bones that has been passed down for 500 years. At most, they will think that the target they are tracking has no choice but to enter the abyss of bones in order to avoid tracking. Then even if they enter the abyss of bones, they will only be guarding against the legendary breath of death, wandering the undead.

But when everyone sees the clue of the truth and discovers another possibility, the real danger in the abyss of bones is no longer those ethereal things.

Evil spirits, the living dead, polluters.

If you don't know these and rush into the abyss of bones, then with the 8,000 people in this line now, I'm afraid you won't survive much.

So what should we do now? If you go back and call a large army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! Warren hesitated, although the Abyss of Bones was likely to be the enemy's stronghold, but this was only speculation, not direct evidence, and it was not appropriate to send someone back to ask for backup.

If everything is as speculated, then that's fine. If it is an empty sound, even if the bosses in the rear are not to blame, the various materials consumed by this expedition are not a small amount.

The consumption of tens of thousands of troops and thousands of people is completely incomparable, plus the road has been cleaned up by Tang Dou and them, so there is no need to think about fighting to support the war.

Besides, once you swoop in the air and the enemy seizes the opportunity to attack Kinunu City, the consequences will be even more terrifying.

But if this is really the enemy's stronghold, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of it with their 8,000 people.

The Abyss of Bones is a large canyon, and it is a typical table-shaped highland environment, also known as Table Mountain, and the entire canyon is surrounded by countless large and small table-shaped flat-topped mountains, which are either only one step apart, or thousands of meters apart.

In this case, it is impossible to march from the top of the mountain into the abyss of bones, and the small-scale elite squad, that is, when Tang Dou and them came out, these dozen or so people were still about the same, and the army of eight thousand was absolutely impossible.

Then the only way is the Hongyan River at the foot of the mountain. 、

However, anyone who has a little bit of military literacy, and whose IQ is higher than the surface of his feet, should know that marching into a canyon where there is a high probability of an enemy ambush is simply self-defeating.

The enemy didn't even have to go out themselves, they could have been stoned to death by pushing a rock directly from the top of the mountain.

How?

"Go in, it's definitely going to go in!" Tang Dou had already paid attention to it in his heart, but he just pretended to be stupid and didn't say: "But we can't kill ourselves, can we?"

"I have a solution that is not a solution!" Gu Suke looked at Tang Dou, hesitated slightly, and still spoke.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned, Gu Suke hesitated again: "I have a method that may be a little hard. Your Excellencies, our sentinels! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! Warren didn't get angry, but asked with interest.

Gu Suke nodded and pointed to the top of the table mountain where the bones were buried: "When we enter it, what we are most worried about is the attack from the top of the mountain, once we are attacked by the other party up and down, we can't use our great ability, we can only wait for death." But what if there are our people on the top of the mountain? “

Everyone suddenly understood what Gu Suke meant, and at the same time knew why he hesitated before.

However, Gusuke has also let go now and continues to explain: "Most of them are impossible to march on the top of the mountain, but your Excellency is strong and can move freely on the top of the mountain. So my solution is to march along the Hongyan River with a large army, and your Excellencies will form a reconnaissance team and follow you at the top of the mountain! ”

This is where Gusuke hesitates. As a subordinate, he came up with a way to make the superior run errands and work hard, and he could cut off his head now.

Don't think it's easy to be a scout at the top of the mountain, it's a chore. Walking along the river, the terrain is gentle, and in some places you can go on a raft, and there is no scorching sun under the canyon. You must know that the environment around the Abyss of Bones is almost similar to the desert, and standing on the top of the mountain to bask in the sun is quite difficult.

In addition, you have to climb up and down the top of the mountain, and jump between the mountains, which is definitely a laborious job. (To be continued.) )
