Chapter 608: Volcanic Pipeline
Erdan and Wang Tianlei screamed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info The rhubarb whined over there, and opened his mouth to bite the collar of Tiewa. Fortunately, the pickaxe was across the hole and held the iron baby.
The two of them hurried over and dragged the kid out. "Damn, you almost let me go first." Tiewa glanced at the dark hole and burst into a foul mouth.
Several people were shocked into a cold sweat. At this time, it is not suitable to go down, so let's wait for dawn. Erdan took out a bottle of small five grains, and the three of them took turns to pour a breath and suppress the shock. Then they each fell asleep.
The next day, the sky was bright, the sun was shining, and the weather was clear, but the wind on the summit still blew a little chilly. Erdan got up from his sleeping bag and watched the rare scenery.
This Shenzhu Peak is the highest peak within a radius of 100 miles, and Erdan can only understand the feeling of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance".
Below are undulating valley woods. Occasionally, there are small pearls, which are ponds and lakes. Looking to the east, at the end of the continuous mountains and fields, there is a white waterline, as if it is far away.
"It's like the sea." Tiewa didn't know when she stood beside Erdan and said. When he was a child, he heard his grandfather say that to the east of the distant mountains, there is an endless sea.
The sea, the second egg couldn't help smacking his tongue.
Wang Tianlei also got up early. The three of them cleaned up and prepared to enter the cave. Such an entrance would be difficult for anyone to find unless there is a special record.
The three of them found a boulder embedded deep in the ground at the top of the peak, and dug a small trench from the large stone towards the entrance of the cave. Then a rope was tied to the boulder and the rope was buried in a small ditch. In this way, no outsiders will find out where the rope is.
The mountains collect medicine all year round, and Wang Tianlei is very experienced in rope rappelling. The second egg was the first one, tied the rope and went down. The entrance of the cave is not big, only one person can go down, but it has not gone down for a few meters, and suddenly it is open and it is also above the ground.
In front of you is a slope that leads to the ground. Erdan dragged the rope, and Wang Tianlei and Tiewa also came down with rhubarb. The three of them untied the rope and left it where it was, so that they would be able to return in the future. Then start going down the slope.
The slope became steeper and steeper, and after walking for about an hour, there was a bright light ahead. All three were amazed. Erdan estimated that he had walked for at least a dozen miles to get here, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to the angle of the slope, or he could roughly calculate which height he was at now.
"Ahead should be the mouth of a cave in the heart of the mountains, and the sun is shining through." Wang Tianlei said. The second uncle said that the real entrance is a mountain pass in the hinterland of the mountains. However, the cliffs are steep and slippery, and there is no way to go up at all. Therefore, they have to pass through this section of the guide from the Divine Pillar Peak to this entrance.
When I got to the front, sure enough, there was an open-air cave entrance up. It's like a crater. Looking down, it's even more terrifying. The mountain was empty, as if a hollow open cone stood there. This dark passage inside the Divine Pillar Peak is connecting the edge of the mountain pass. At this moment, they are standing on this edge.
The sun was shining overhead, illuminating the hollow in the mountain below. Although it is bright, it is deep and bottomless. Shocked, the three of them prepared the ropes and began to rappel again.
The surface of the mountain is rocky and not smooth, but it is just right, which is conducive to climbing and going down. Each of the three used a rope ladder. Rhubarb was tied to the bag behind the second egg. The rope ladders are all knotted in the special way of mountain medicine farmers, which is similar to the knotting method used by the SEALs in the field. When the man reached a rock below and stood still, he shook violently, and the knot was loosened, and so on, and the two eggs were roughly counted, and it took more than a hundred times, and it was estimated that they should have reached the ground, and then they reached the cave floor.
As soon as he landed, his legs were a little sore and he didn't obey the call. "I'm so dizzy that I almost want to throw up." Rhubarb jumped out and shook his body.
The three of them looked around, and found that there was almost no vegetation, just bare rocks, and the surrounding mountain walls were very rough, as if they had been dried by a lot of syrup.
Looking up, there is only a small cave entrance at the top, and a small sky can be seen. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and it was getting late, but looking at the clouds in the sky, it seemed to be clearer, maybe this small cave entrance played the role of small eyeglasses.
Around the mountain wall, there are many large and small caves, leading to this unknown and farther depths of the earth's core.
"Rest here for the night, and go into the cave tomorrow." Wang Tianlei said. The three of them each found a flat rock and made a bed. Rhubarb was running around, but he didn't find anything but strange-shaped stones. Erdan took out the barometer and looked at it, and sure enough, it was much higher than the sea level pressure. The air underground, more compact. However, the three of them were physically strong, and they all slowed down little by little when they came down, so they didn't feel anything abnormal.
Night fell quickly. On the stone wall in the cave, there are still many sparkles of stars, and I don't know what they are. Erdan pillowed his head and saw a few stars shining in the distant night sky. It's the Big Dipper, or what kind of centaur planet or something, Erdan doesn't know, and the knowledge of astronomy hasn't been learned yet.
The three of them slept beautifully. The next morning, the sunlight shone into the cave and reflected everywhere on the stone walls, and the cave was very bright. The three of them got up early and packed up. Erdan took out the compass, adjusted it at the same time as Wang Tianlei, and found the third hole in his left hand, which was the closest road to the Divine Domain.
One last glance at the small piece of sky above them, the three of them burrowed into the dark and secluded hole. The lights are lit, the stone walls in the cave are smooth, and the light is reflected, but it is very bright.
However, the stone wall under your feet is also very smooth, and the smoothness is surprising, even as if there is a layer of glass. Erdan was a little surprised, because in geology, there is only one possibility for the inner wall of a cave like this, that is, inside the volcano, the volcanic pipe that spews out magma will be coated with a thick and shiny layer of magma, like glass. But how can Qipan Mountain be a volcano here, and the eight poles can't hit it. Erdan wondered in his heart. In the magical natural world, there are too many mysteries that science can't explain, and isn't it the same in the realm of the gods.
Not only is the stone wall under your feet slippery, but the slope down is also steep. Then you can't go down quickly. After working hard for a while, the three of them finally decided to sit directly under the package under their butts and slide it down. But it's still quite dangerous, and you can't split your legs, or if you encounter a protruding rock or something, the descendants will be scrapped all of a sudden.
"I'll go, boss, it's the first time I've had such an experience." Rhubarb was lying in Erdan's arms, blown to the point of fluttering dog hair, and couldn't help grinning.
"Who isn't!" Erdan also shouted.
The progress was very fast, and it was six or seven hours long, and the slope slowed down. Only then did the three of them stop. Wang Tianlei was about to say take a break, when the three of them suddenly heard a strange sound in the tunnel ringing in the distance.
