Chapter 490: Nature's Miracles
After resting for a night, He Jie and the others didn't get up until more than eight o'clock the next day.
In the plateau environment, Shi Qin continued to ride in a car, even Shi Qin, who had been here several times, felt a little unbearable. Li Yang's face also showed a little tired look, only Liu Gang, Gao Feng and Zhao Yong's special forces were better, and their training was much harder than this.
At Li Yang's suggestion, several people first rested in Zada County for a whole day, He Jie and Ma Shiwei both had obvious fatigue on their faces, Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao were not much better, even Li Yang himself also had a sense of weakness and exhaustion.
Gabala Gorge is located 45 kilometers southwest of Zada County, where it meets India, and the canyon itself is a large mountain, which is also a natural barrier.
The people sent out by the old man finally found this place, and after seeing that labyrinth, they could no longer move forward.
Gabala has the meaning of an artifact in Tibetan, and also has the meaning of gods and ghosts, and there are many legends here a long time ago, some say that there is a great treasure here, and some people say that this place is full of demons and monsters, and if you are not careful, you will be devoured by these monsters.
Whether these legends are true or false has long been impossible to verify, but it is true that few locals here.
After a day's rest, Li Yang and the others spent a whole morning coming to the Dagabala Gorge, there is no road here, and the last three kilometers of the journey are still to get off the car and come over, and the road in front of them cannot continue to drive at all.
Fortunately, the three-kilometer journey was not long, and Zhao Yong left two special forces to take care of their vehicles, and the others walked to the Gabala Gorge with equipment and weapons.
After more than an hour, according to the map marked by the old man, they finally found the entrance to the labyrinth, a very inconspicuous and not very large cave, this cave was still in mid-air, more than two meters above the ground.
There are still many trees and vines next to the cave, and if it weren't for the detailed map given to Li Yang by the old man, it would not be easy to find this place.
"On the other side of this hill is India, there are no border soldiers stationed here, the nearest outpost from here is seven kilometers away, otherwise it would be a hassle for us to come here with great fanfare"
Looking at the map, Zhao Yong raised his head and said to Li Yang, Li Yang nodded silently, he understood what Zhao Yong meant, after all, this is a border place, and everything must be low-key and not cause trouble.
It was already more than one o'clock when they arrived at the destination, Zhao Yong and their special forces set up a simple ladder, Li Yang first took Liu Gang and Zhao Yong into the cave and walked for a few minutes, and then retreated, telling everyone to go in and explore after lunch.
When he entered the cave, Li Yang felt a cold yin qi, and Li Yang also opened his special ability to observe it.
It's a labyrinth, and it's not a small labyrinth.
Li Yang extended the longest observation range of fifty meters without seeing the end, but found three forked intersections, and after these three forks were divided, there were forks, and within fifty meters they were divided into seven or eight different caves.
"It's time to get to the place, Li Yang, do you think we can find good things this time?"
During the meal, He Jie asked Li Yang very excitedly, among so many of them, only he and Li Yang knew what this mission was for, and the good thing in He Jie's mouth was naturally that treasure.
"I can't say anything about this."
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't tell the matter of Tiancong Cloud Sword, it's good that this treasure is found, if you can't find it, and the news spreads again, I'm afraid that this place will not be safe in the future.
"Hehe, what's bad to say, with your good luck to follow, I believe it will definitely be"
He Jie smiled nonchalantly, he talked to the old man on the phone yesterday, and he also specially talked about the Warring States Feather Tree. From the old man, he knew how difficult it was to pick up an antique from the Central Plains and the Warring States period in a place like Lhasa, let alone a woodwork antique.
After knowing this, He Jie was also full of confidence in this mission, as long as Li Yang's good luck was still there, their hope of success this time was much greater.
After lunch, he rested for a while, and at two o'clock Li Yang re-entered the cave with all the people.
Three more special forces were left outside the cave to guard, and the cave people who entered last and Li Yang made a total of twenty-six people.
The cave is not big, and you can only walk up to three people side by side.
In the end, Zhao Yong decided, the two walked forward side by side, with Zhao Yong and another special soldier walking in the front, Liu Gang and Gao Feng followed, followed by Li Yang and He Jie, Shi Qin and Tang Xiaoxiao followed, and Ma Shiwei and a special soldier followed in the middle.
After entering the cave, Li Yang turned on his special ability and continued to scan it with the longest range.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Yang's brows condensed tightly.
They walked very slowly, but they walked at least three or four hundred meters in ten minutes, Li Yang stretched the three-dimensional picture all the time, from the three-dimensional picture he could completely see that the route they walked was a slightly inclined line, although it was not a straight line, but the straight line distance was not short.
In other words, at this time, they were at least two or three hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave.
Two or three hundred meters, all in the mountain, Li Yang is not an expert in geology, he is also very surprised, there can be such a hollow place in that mountain, and such a maze is formed.
After another ten minutes, the expressions of everyone who came in became very serious, and they passed at least a dozen forks in the road.
At first, it was two meters high, and only three people could walk side by side, but now it has become a wide cave that is three or four meters high and can walk five or six people side by side.
"Mr. Li, can you stop?"
Zhao Yong, who was at the front, suddenly turned around and said, the special forces next to him kept measuring the oxygen content and other gas components in the cave, and the more they tested, the more surprised the special forces became. After walking so deep, the oxygen content in the cave not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, which was very incomprehensible to him.
"Okay, stop and rest for a while"
Li Yang nodded, and immediately put away the special ability after scanning it with his special ability, there were still caves like this within fifty meters around, and it was impossible to find any important clues from the three-dimensional picture.
"Mr. Li, this cave labyrinth is not artificially excavated, it is naturally formed"
Everyone sat on the ground against the wall, drinking water and resting, Ma Shiwei hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.
"Dr. Ma, do you have any evidence?"
He Jie asked first, and everyone else also looked at Ma Shiwei, in fact, Ma Shiwei didn't say that everyone had similar thoughts, such a huge cave maze was not something that human beings could do at all.
"Yes, look at the stones of the walls."
Ma Shiwei nodded and pointed his searchlight at a wall, and the people who were closer were all around him, and those who were farther away were also looking at the wall in front of him with the lamps in their hands.
"We also have a certain amount of research on geology in archaeology, this kind of stone layer is called polygonomic rock, also called melaleucite, which is a kind of marine sedimentary rock, which is hard and dense, much harder than ordinary stones."
Ma Shiwei nodded slowly, and continued: "When we look at the surface of the cave, we can also see the faint distribution of stone layers inside, and the appearance is smooth and round, which is at least millions of years of accumulation, or even hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, if it is excavated manually, it is definitely not like this."
After Ma Shiwei finished speaking, he looked at everyone quietly, there was one sentence he hadn't said yet, it was impossible to manually open such a cave maze, it would take too much manpower.
"I agree with Professor Ma's words, this is not a labyrinth made by man, this is a miracle of nature"
Li Yang nodded slightly, the three doctors invited by Ma Shiwei didn't know the existence of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, but they all knew that they were here to find an ancient treasure house, and the matter of the labyrinth had been mentioned to them before.
And Zhao Yong only knew that there was a dangerous and unknown labyrinth here, and he didn't know anything else, but he didn't need to know, his task was to protect these people, as long as he did this.
"A natural labyrinth, doesn't that add to its uncertainty?"
Tang Xiaoxiao's two thin eyebrows condensed tightly, if this labyrinth is artificially created, then it can be determined that it must have an exit, and it is not in vain to set up such a labyrinth without an exit.
If it is naturally formed, no one knows where the exit is, or there are several exits, or there may even be no exit, and the ancient treasure house does not exist, but it may be in a random corner of the labyrinth, so that it will become more difficult for them to find it.
"Let's take a look first, if it can't be violated, we won't force it"
Li Yang sighed lightly, he finally understood why the information said that it took tens of thousands of people to explore this labyrinth, such a large and complex natural labyrinth, it was really not something that dozens or hundreds of people could explore.
After a ten-minute break and a realignment, the group walked forward again.
On the way, they also had a small episode, walking in front of a fork in the intersection of three holes, several people had different opinions, Ma Shiwei and Tang Xiaoxiao suggested taking the left hole, Zhao Yong and He Jie suggested taking the middle, and Li Yang insisted on taking the right.
When he couldn't hold on, Shi Qin suggested that they act separately and come back to meet an hour later, which was also vetoed by Li Yang.
In the end, everyone still followed Li Yang's advice and walked to the cave on the right, under the special ability, Li Yang had found that the cave in the middle would fork again after thirty meters, and one of them was still a dead end.
The cave on the left turned to the rear, and gathered together with another unknown cave, Li Yang didn't want to go back for the time being, this time since he came in, he kept going forward, at least he could see how deep the maze was.
The road on the right is very long, and he has not encountered a forked hole for more than ten minutes, while Li Yang is constantly observing the surrounding environment with his special ability.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Li Yang suddenly stopped, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
