Chapter 254: Life and Death

Mu Ge glanced at Zhuo Lei, the two of them have naturally known each other for many years, he went over first, and the people behind him pulled the safety rope much easier.

In the end, it was the two outsiders who were the safest with the help of Master Ula and Yushan.

In this world, don't put too much hope on others, not to mention just taking what you need, even if it is between brothers, you may turn against each other because of interests.

Zhuo Lei has mixed up to his current status, and he knows better than anyone else.

After a stick of incense, everyone finally came to the other end of the ice sheet, the entrance to a huge circular cave.

Unbuckled the safety buckle, they gasped from time to time, and the burden did not come from the weight, but from the heart.

After a few minutes on the field, they dared to look back, only to see that the distance was less than 100 meters, but they felt that half a century had passed.

Looking at the frozen wonder at this moment, I still feel that its charm is infinite, but when I was in it, I didn't feel the slightest beauty, the ancients had a cloud: that moving beauty was accompanied by the trap of death everywhere.

Several people did not stop and continued to move forward.

The ice layer of the cave here is a little thinner, and many places have completely peeled off, revealing hard rock walls, and the cave is much wider than when they entered, and the rock walls that have been swallowed by ice have left various forms, such as hideous beasts, welcoming their strange visitors with teeth and claws.

Inside the cave, there is no ice, the walls are very dry, there is not even a trace of moisture, this cave seems to be warmer than just now.

A few pillars of light hit the wall, everyone raised their heads, and they saw that the wall facing them was clearly the imprint left by human civilization, and the black pattern clearly reflected that the ancestors of a certain race had lived and multiplied on this barren ice field.

The black lines outline the images of stickmen, dancing hand in hand, or praying to the heavens. There are not only male and female sex ~ concubine patterns of fertility worship, but also sacrificial scenes of killing cattle and sheep, although the lines are simple but the characteristics are obvious, which can be understood at a glance.

Mu Ge squeezed behind, and his flashlight was deflected to the left, so that he immediately became interested in a hunting picture, a group of stickmen, either with throwing stones or with vines, were attacking a behemoth, the fellow was covered with long hair, with a pair of huge and sharp teeth, and many stickmen had climbed on the guy's back, stabbing with sharp things, and smashing with huge stones, and the situation was like a group of ants tearing at a grasshopper, which was very vivid.

"Elephants, there were elephants in Hoh Xili?" He felt incredible.

"No, it's not an elephant, you see the shape, if you compare it with the ancients, it's several times larger than the largest African elephant, and the long hair on its body, which is more than twice as long as the ordinary tusks, is more than twice as much curved tusks, yes, it's so realistic, the author of these petroglyphs is a genius, and although it is incredible, it is undeniable that it records everything truthfully." Zhuo Lei's voice trembled with excitement.

"What is it?" Muge asked.

"As you can see, it's a mammoth!" Zhuo Lei slowly turned his head, his eyes flashing with excitement, and looked at each person: "A prehistoric animal that was thought to have been extinct tens of thousands of years ago!" ”

Mammoths lived in the tundra of the Arctic Ocean tens of thousands of years ago, and fossils of mammoths have been found in Siberia, Canada and other regions.

It has also been found in the northeast of China, but such murals appear in Hoh Xili, indicating that this place was not only inhabited, but also had a prosperous period of human civilization.

He had looked at the map and it seemed that they were on the right path.

A sudden glance at the bright flashlight surprised them by what came into their eyes, tens of thousands of plateau hamsters and birds gathered in the same giant cave to hibernate.

In Hoh Xil, spending the winter on the ice field is not as easy as you think, many animals have tried all kinds of methods to survive the winter, and in some places there are even birds and gophers in the same hole, all in order to survive the cold winter safely.

The consequences of disturbing them are terrible, those who hibernate will wake up quite hungry, and like the flying locusts of Southeast Asia and the desert marching ants, they will eat all the organic matter they can come across.

"Turn off the flashlight". Zhuo Lei still had palpitations, he didn't expect that the map from decades ago would still be biased, and if he woke up these slumbering people, the consequences could be imagined.

Inside the cave, he was the only one whose electric light shone outside, and he turned the focus of the flashlight to the minimum, so that it could only shine in front of him, and then led everyone to a corner.

Eyes looked at each other and searched for the ice sculpture on the wall.

After a while, as if something had been touched, a roar sounded on the boundless wall, and under the faint flashlight, I saw an ice door slowly opening.

Perhaps disturbed, there was a creaking sound in the cave, and the ground moved.

The faces of the crowd were ugly, and they didn't think that they must have been disturbed by the loud sound of the flashlight and the door opening just now, which disturbed a small number of hibernating plateau hamsters.

Because of the cold, one of them suddenly turned on the flashlight and shone it on the edge, and they saw another terrifying scene.

Countless black-haired hamsters huddled together on top of each other, like a black blanket on the ground, and they were running back and forth restlessly, as they had just seen, and the whole ground was slowly squirming.

Countless soybean-like eyes shone in the deep light under the light, and as soon as a flashlight swept over, the hamster swarm exploded like a pot, and those black fluffy little things rushed towards everyone like crazy.

There was a slope in front of them, but it did not stop them in the slightest, and the hamsters in front of them could not climb the slope, and their bodies became paving stones, which were soon overwhelmed by the large army that came up from behind, and tide after wave of hamsters rushed towards the slope and in front of their feet.

In a fit of rage, Zhuo Lei raised his foot and kicked out at the brother who had just flashed the flashlight, sliding straight under the ice field for several meters, and then quickly turned off the flashlight and shouted, "Pour gasoline, start a fire."

A group of hamsters surrounded the figure under the flashlight, densely packed, and in a blink of an eye, he became a humanoid skeleton with flesh, just like the Tibetan antelope that had been skinned by them, the remaining muscles of the flesh and blood wrapped the white bones, the teeth of the face and jaw were clenched, and the unformed hand bones and foot bones were still doing some meaningless physiological shaking.

What's even more terrifying is that even the skull has been bitten off in half, ** has been hollowed out, and several hamsters are jumping in and out of the left eye and right eye of the corpse.

The flames were rising, and where the tongues of fire swept through, the hamsters were burned to a "squeak", and the gasoline suddenly turned the stone chamber into a sea of fire, and everything seemed even more eerie and terrifying against the flickering light of the fire.

The hamsters had no intention of retreating, and the charred ones made them even more crazy, and countless small things with fire all over their bodies still rushed towards Zhuo Lei, who retreated and shouted, "Run, what are you stupid standing there for, don't die!" ”

Under the rapid speed of the fire, they entered the side of the gate, found the mechanism and slowly closed it.

Still, there were a few hamsters that lit a fire and risked death to follow them, but there was no point in it anymore.

Everyone almost collapsed to the ground, but they were not tired, but their hearts were not calm, and they are still deeply imprinted with the amazing scene just now.

A person, in less than a few minutes, has become a human skeleton, and I can't help but sigh that life is really fragile.

After a while, he slowly regained his composure.

Holding a flashlight, it carefully shines from the edge.

It was like an unusually wide corridor, with thick ice at the edge, but it was a bit surprising, on top of the ice field, there were windows open, and a cloudy wind blew through the windows.

Hitler's drawings are not marked everywhere, and more things still need to be perceived and discovered by themselves.

"Be careful, everyone, there seems to be a mechanism here." Zhuo Lei carefully reminded him, decades have passed, and he doesn't know if the original mechanism has been weathered.

The wooden art master was bold, with a flashlight tied to his forehead, and slowly walked towards the dark corridor that circled down.

It's just that before he took a few steps, the edge of the inner wall window suddenly lit up, and a rain of knives popped up, coming quickly, the knife was so sharp, and it actually pierced into the thick ice field opposite, and none of the handles fell off.

But after a while, the lancets seemed to have been summoned by something, and they all retreated, disappearing behind the vast window.

Mu Ge retreated with palpitations, the long road ahead, is there still an endless transparent form in the downward corridor? If you are not careful, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

Everyone's faces were full of frustration, the search for the legendary Shambhala had just begun, and it was full of dangers, how should the road go forward?

"Mulate, go to the window and see, is there a mechanism"? Those who achieve great things must always have sacrifices, and among these people, in addition to Master Ula and his apprentices, they are unfathomable, but they are also people who cannot be controlled at will.

For the rest of the people, he Zhuo Lei can't die, and Namuge is the first choice.

Muge nodded, flashing the blade, he looked around the flashlight, there was a protruding mortise and tenon structure next to the passage, could it be the hub of the mechanism?

He couldn't control it so much at this time, and gently pressed the mortise and tenon structure, just resigned himself to fate.

The opportunity is still for those who are prepared, and when he came back, he was afraid of it, but the knife formation did not attack.

It's easy to crack for a while, but there's nothing to be happy about, in their eyes, the road ahead is boundless, and they still need to work hard.

After passing through the sword array and passing through the nail protrusion, there were Buddha statues on the almost transparent windowsill of the tunnel in front of them.

He sat on a buffalo seat, carrying flames, and holding halberds, bows, ropes, swords, arrows, and clubs.
