Baiyang had nothing to say for a while, but Chen Dalin said: "Since everyone said so, then we don't have to wait until the wind stops, I'll go out again and bring the tools in." ”

When he said this, he patted Bai Yang's shoulder and said, "Little Brother Bai doesn't have to worry so much, let's be careful later, shovel away the yellow sand on the ground first, and see the situation on the ground before making a decision." In case these beams press the mouth of the cellar, then we can't throw our lives and don't want to move the beams?...... Isn't it Xiao Chen?"

In his last sentence, he asked Chen Xiaopang directly, and Chen Xiaopang nodded "yes".

Bai Yang thought about it and said, "The old man just came in from outside, let me go out this time!"

"I think it's better for me to go out with the old man!" Tie Niu immediately spoke, "It's not that I am willing to work hard for the old man, but the old man is much more clever than us people, and he can know which camel is carrying what with his eyes closed! Besides, you are the leader of the group, you should be in command, just tell me to do something like this!"

"Yes, Tie Niu is right, let me go out with Tie Niu again!" Chen Dalin also said.

Poplar had to tell them to be careful.

Seeing that Tie Niu and Chen Dalin climbed out of the cave again, the others didn't speak, just waited quietly.

Fortunately, he didn't wait long, it was still Chen Dalin who climbed in first, and then Tie Niu stuffed the shovel and the like from the outside, and he himself climbed in last.

Several people worked together, first picking up the white bones to the base of the wall, and then carefully digging out the yellow sand along the bottom of the sloping beams.

Tie Niu originally proposed to throw the dug yellow sand directly along the hole in the wall, anyway, the wind outside was not blowing at the entrance of the hole, and he was not afraid that the yellow sand would pour in.

But Chen Dalin said that there were camels outside, and there were other wild beasts hiding from the wind, and once the yellow sand was thrown out of the hole, those beasts would suffer even more.

Therefore, the yellow sand can only be piled up along the roots of several walls.

However, the yellow sand is soft and difficult to pile up. Eventually, Poplar came up with a way to line up the backpacks of several people half a meter away from the base of the wall, so as to stop the yellow sand from flowing down.

The yellow sand on the ground was not thick in the first place, so soon, the yellow sand under the sloping beams was hollowed out by several people, revealing a long piece of dark blue floor tiles.

Fortunately, the beams were very solid on the floor tiles, and several of the floor tiles were smashed by the beams and were all cracked.

But it can be seen that under the floor tiles supporting the beams, there must be solid land.

In other words, if there was a cellar underground, the beams would not loosen when they pried open the lid at the mouth of the cellar.

It's just that the floor is all covered with green bricks, and there is no obvious cellar cover or anything like that.

On the green brick floor, there are some white bones scattered around.

The bones have decayed, and they should be human bones from hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Chen Xiaopang carefully examined those white bones and said, "These white bones were probably eaten by wild beasts, so they were all scattered, and even the upper arm bones and lower arm bones were not connected together!"

"It's true that it has been eaten by wild beasts!" Ding Lingling picked up a calf bone with her gloved hand, "There are very clear tooth marks on this bone!"

Poplar reached out and took the white bone to take a closer look, and indeed he saw that there were several marks on the white bone that seemed to have been bitten by teeth.

"What happened here, are these bones the bones of the owner of this castle, or the bones of someone who came after them?" asked Poplar, looking at the tooth marks.

"It's not necessarily, it's been too long, and many clues have disappeared!" Ding Lingling said.

A few people could only clean up the scattered white bones on the green brick floor first, and then carefully pry up the floor tiles one by one.

It was soon discovered that the bluestone slabs under the floor tiles were not monolithic, but were spliced together by several long bluestone strips that were about the same width.

But this also proves that there must be a cellar below, and these bluestone strips are to support the top of the cellar.

A few people were even more encouraged, squatting on the ground more and more, priing up the green bricks one by one, seeing that there were still bluestone slabs underneath, and then carefully placing them back.

Finally, in the corner of the wall on the left, I finally found that there were a few blue bricks under the bottom not bluestone strips, but a large boxy thick plank.

Square grooves were dug out of the thick wooden boards, and the bottom of the green bricks was processed to fit neatly into the grooves.

In other words, if there is a cellar under this plank, then after going down to the cellar, as long as this wooden board with green bricks covers the cellar mouth, the green bricks on the wooden board will be mixed with other green bricks, making it difficult for people to find that there is actually a hidden cellar in this room.

There is a gap in the corner of the plank, which is large enough for an adult to reach in and lift the plank.

Chen Xiaopang couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and first grabbed the gap with his hand and lifted it hard.

But this one didn't move.

"It seems to be latched up below!" Chen Xiaopang said, and couldn't help frowning, "The bottom must be a cellar, and judging from the scattered white bones above, it should be some beasts or something that broke into the castle, so some people hid in the cellar and bolted the cellar mouth." The rest of those who did not manage to hide in the cellar in time were eaten by wild beasts. ”

His reasoning sounded, but Poplar was quick to raise questions.

"If a wild beast really broke into the castle, then the beast should leave after eating the corpses on the ground, why do the people below stay hidden?"

Let's open this plank first and see what is going on in the cellar!" Ding Lingling said.

"Let me try it!" Iron Bull volunteered to squeeze over the plank.

"Let's use a crowbar!" I've tried my best just now, but the plank doesn't move at all, and you can see that the latch is very tight!" Chen Xiaopang said.

But the Iron Ox had already bent down, and tried it with his hand by scratching at the gap in the plank.

The plank only moved slightly, and it felt like it was indeed latched tightly.

Tie Niu was very unconvinced, and immediately lucked his dantian and lifted it up with a "hi".

I only heard the sound of "flutter", and the very thick wooden board was actually torn in half by the iron bull.

Half of it was caught in the hands of the iron bull, and the other half was torn apart.

Several people were dumbfounded.

Seeing that the half of the board that Iron Ox was holding in his hand was several inches thick, Max was the first to exclaim, and said something in English.

"Max said how energetic you should be, in fact, we think the same way!" Ding Lingling said.

Only Poplar was not surprised.

Because since he shared a golden python gall with Iron Bull in Crescent Spring last month, not only Iron Bull, but even Poplar can clearly feel the strength in his body getting stronger and stronger during this time.

It's just that neither of them mentioned this matter to anyone else, but occasionally the two of them talked about it in private, and Tie Niu would say to Bai Yang very proudly: "As soon as I saw that python gall was golden, I thought it must be a treasure! But you didn't dare to eat it, but fortunately I ate half of it first! You see that we are now strong and healthy, and we are gradually becoming strong men, and it must be all the credit of the golden python gall!"

Poplar also felt that it should be the credit of the golden python gall, but it might have something to do with the poison of the blood wolf in their bodies and the medicinal properties of the immortal medicine.

After all, on the night of the last full moon, the two of them had a poisonous attack of blood wolf, and they had demolished a wooden frame bed with their bare hands, and they had not yet eaten the golden python gall at that time.

Therefore, Poplar privately thought that it was likely that the effect of the golden python gallbladder was only to stabilize the potential stimulated by the combined effect of blood wolf toxicity and immortality in his body with Iron Bull.

Of course, it is also possible that the potential in his and Tie Niu's bodies has been developed more deeply because of the golden python gall, so the two of them will feel that their strength has not stopped growing over time.

But this kind of thing can't be widely publicized, seeing that several people all looked at Tie Niu with surprised eyes, Tie Niu smiled and was full of pride.

Bai Yang was afraid that Tie Niu would show off and talk nonsense, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's not very surprising, isn't it! After all, this wooden board is already a thousand years ago, and the little fat brother didn't move it, so he definitely didn't make too much effort!"

Tie Niu naturally understood what Bai Yang meant, so he glanced at Bai Yang, and smiled without making an excuse.

Everyone else also felt that Baiyang's explanation was very reasonable, but Chen Xiaopang knew how much strength he had exerted.

However, all men will not take the initiative to admit that they are weak compared to other men, so Chen Xiaopang also did not make an excuse, but bent down and looked at the wooden board that was half torn by the iron bull.

The planks are thick and appear to have not decayed due to the dry desert climate.

But the planks were torn in half by the Iron Ox, and it was clear that there was a black hole in the bottom.

There was also a thick latch that sat under the torn plank.

Chen Xiaopang lay on the ground, groped his way along the wooden latch with one hand to the corner, slowly removed the wooden latch, and threw it directly into the cellar below, then straightened up and lifted the remaining half of the plank, revealing a square cellar mouth below.
