Under the ice, in the black-brown rock caves of at least tens of thousands of square meters in size, a large number of portable lighting fixtures with light yellow light are laid all over the cave to provide light for the huge space.

In the huge cave, there are countless bones of beasts of different shapes and sizes, gray and white scattered bones everywhere, refracting a cold light under the illumination of the lighting source, and the cave is filled with a strange smell, which is mixed with the smell of blood, animal defecation and various mucus, and the smell makes it difficult for people to get used to.

However, right next to the bones of various beasts of different sizes, people in twos and threes wore thin gloves, carried record books, and all kinds of simple instruments and equipment to study these bones, and the low voices and arguments kept sounding, and the strange smell was numb to them.

"Sir, why are we studying the bones of these snow beasts? For more than 100 years, our measurement and evaluation methods have seriously failed to keep up with the times, and we will not use the instruments and equipment given by the joint team for a while, I don't want to do it anymore, I want to go back to India to eat curry chicken pilaf, instead of continuing to waste time here uselessly. ”

The sturdy Tibetan guide in a leather Tibetan robe sat on the spine of a small snow beast and used it as a large folding stool, and the Tibetan riding boots on his feet seemed restless to move back and forth on the black-brown cave stone floor, drawing something on the notebook pages spread on his lap with a drawing pencil, and speaking English with a Ladakhi accent in a somewhat impatient tone.

However, the words of the Tibetan guide did not have much touch on Sir Ahbourne, who was sticking a magnifying glass to the bones of the snow beast in front of him, with a pensive expression, and the knight did not look back and whispered in English disapprovingly: "Lausanne, we must be patient, don't you see that the Chinese female leader of the joint team has no intention of leaving, we have already gone deep under the glacier of the ghost ice field, if we don't follow them, you still want to go back to India to eat chicken curry?" The snow beast swallowed you in one bite! Don't talk nonsense, you have to do something to pass the time when you completely depict the shape of the snow beast's bones. ”

Hearing Sir Ashburn, who wore a gray cowboy hat and a denim outfit, said this, the Tibetan guide Lausanne was silent, Lausanne was not a big boss, once studied in a famous British institution of higher learning sponsored by Sir Sir and spoke more Chinese, with a grateful heart under the call of Sir to join the Tibetan expedition to study the origin of human beings in the hinterland of Asia.

Drawing with a drawing pencil or something, it is not difficult for Lausanne, in fact, the hand-drawn topographic map taken by the joint team is Lausanne's masterpiece, this person does things very carefully and carefully, but he has a problem that the expedition team has been accustomed to, that is, he loves to complain, and when he complains, he will always mention curry chicken pilaf, which has become Lausanne's mantra habit.

"Sir Ahiborne, our leader has asked me to come to you to discuss something important."

Just when the Tibetan Han guide Lobsang continued to draw carefully without saying a word, and used a drawing pencil to depict the bones of the snow beast on the pages of the notebook, a young woman's English voice sounded behind the two, her English tone was soft and heroic, and there was a vague confidence in her bearing.

The Tibetan guide Lobsang turned his head to see, this is not the little follower of the female leader, Xiao Yang (Yang Yifan), seeing Yang Yifan coming to find him, Lobsang stood on the ground with a pen and paper, the smart Lobsang did not speak, he knew that the anthropologist Sir Ashiburn had long been eager for this time to come, and it seemed that the joint team was ready to make a big move.

Do you go back the way you came, leave the ice channel, think up, the ice glacier leave the ice field, or go inside that weird device? For this matter, Sir quarreled with the female leader Zhuge Hanyu more than once.

The focus of the argument between the two sides is whether the device is a two-way teleportation device, Zhuge Hanyu wants Sir to hand over the method of activating the device, but Sir obviously refuses, saying that he does not have that ability, and the two sides broke up unhappily.

Time was delayed like this, and neither the joint team nor the knight's expedition team left this snow beast's lair cave located under the ice, and the unprovoked consumption of time had already been twenty-four hours!

"Oh, it's Xiao Yang, tell her that we'll be there soon."

The thin and tall Sir Ahbourne put away the magnifying glass in his hand, inserted it into a small leather bag on the leather belt around his waist, turned his head to look at Yang Yifan's sister paper wearing a light red mountaineering suit with an exaggerated upper curve like a cow, and the blue and black pupils on the cold face of the sirlet looked at Yang Yifan with a specimen look, and whispered Chinese sentences noncommittally.

Yang Yifan nodded slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked away quickly, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, the old fox's acting skills are too good, if it weren't for the little brother and the alien guy Ansally, it would be very able to blind some people's eyes, let's see.

Seeing Yang Yifan striding away, Lausanne closed the notebook and put the drawing pencil in the notebook, looking at Sir Ashburn, who took off the two thin gloves on his palms and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, Lausanne showed a puzzled look in his eyes, and whispered: "Sir, that teleportation device can't really teleport in both directions, right?" We don't have that many energy crystals, so we can't activate them. ”

Jazz showed a very strange smile on his face, the smile disappeared from his face again in the blink of an eye, he looked at the Tibetan guide beside him with a cold face, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and whispered: "Lausanne, this is not something we can consider, that Chinese woman is very powerful, ten brains like you together are not her opponent, maybe she has found a way to turn on the teleportation instrument, let's go, the curry chicken pilaf is beckoning to you, maybe it can be done." ”

"I hope so......"

Lausanne touched his nose with his fingers and grunted quietly, noticing that Jazz had strode away, and hurried to follow.

……

"Sir Ashburn, you better tell us how to open the multidimensional space teleporter, so that we can think about it in the long run, which will be good for all of us."

"I refuse to do this, the so-called energy crystal can no longer support us to start the teleporter, it is difficult to support the energy shock light curtain forcibly activated for a long time, and those who enter will be lost, Zhuge Hanyu team leader, you are extremely irresponsible remarks, I refuse to cooperate with ......"

More than a dozen meters away from the huge black arch-shaped teleporter standing in the corner of the cave, a group of people of different colors and skin colors sat around a simple table more than a meter high, supported by a light alloy skeleton and blended fiber cloth.

Sitting there were Zhuge Hanyu, Enchantress Maria, Adella, Alan, Sir Ashiburn and two other members of the European white expedition, all of whom sat on folding stools of the same material, and the air next to the table was particularly full of gunpowder, because the joint team leader Zhuge Hanyu and Sir Ahiburn began to argue again, although the two were talking in Chinese, it was obvious that neither side maintained an inherent position, and no one could convince anyone.

"Sir, didn't you say that you want to solve the mystery of the Tibetan pyramids, only by getting out alive can you continue your research, I communicated with Ansally, and she decided to contribute the black energy crystal on her body, so that the total energy crystal we can use is four plus a total of five, after our calculations, this has been able to meet the necessary conditions for the initial activation of the light curtain of the teleporter."

At the table, Adella, who was dressed in a light red mountaineering suit and had short blond hair, had a pair of blue eyes on her pretty face, and when Sir Ahiburn spoke, she glanced over the faces of everyone at the table without hesitation, and then turned back to Sir Ahiborne, who was excited because of the fierce debate, and even his white neck was a little swollen red.

Adella's eyes couldn't help but become sharp, Jazz's voice did not fall, Adella had already said skillful Chinese sentences decisively, indicating that everything was ready, just waiting for Jazz to show his skills.

Seeing that Sir Ahibourne was still pretending, ignoring what his words meant, Adella didn't bother to talk nonsense, took out the palm that had been placed under the table, and threw a small rock sheepskin roll with yellowed leather and thin skin layer into the blended fiber cloth tabletop, and the parchment roll bounced and rolled a few times on the elastic blended fiber cloth tabletop, and the parchment roll unfolded, and several square cylindrical crystals with a black lacquer of several centimeters appeared in front of everyone.

This crystal has a clear light-absorbing effect under the illumination of the illumination light, and it looks black like ink strips or black charcoal, and the black is very pure and does not refract the light at all.

"How did you calculate that you only need five energy crystals, it's impossible!"

Seeing that the American girl Adella threw the parchment scroll that belonged to her on the table, and what fell out of the unfolded parchment was indeed five energy crystals, Sir Ashiburn looked surprised and shouted English sentences.

It was hard for Jazz to believe that the joint team could deduce that only five crystals could start the teleporter, he didn't think that he had embedded a few more crystals into the starter device when he started the teleporter, and the executioner Song (Song Xiaoshuang), who was "reborn" from the cocoon, could find that the difference between a few more crystals and a few fewer crystals was actually not that big, and Jazz thought that as long as he didn't tell the mystery, the joint team had no way to do anything about himself.

Sir had never heard anyone from the joint team talk about it before, they also had an energy crystal, although in terms of Jazz's intelligence, it was still possible to guess that the joint team had a very small number of energy crystals, but it only took five crystals to activate the secret of the teleporter, Jazz didn't think that there was a second person who knew, how could the other party be so accurate? Jazz did feel very wrong.

Maria, the enchantress with a pretty face that charms all beings, looked very unladylike when the knight shouted that it was impossible, and scratched the scalp skin of the black shiny bun at the back of her head with her wheat-colored palm, and she had not taken a bath for many days, and her skin was dry and itchy, and it was very uncomfortable.

Finding that her disruptive action attracted the attention of many people at the table, Maria didn't care, and stretched out her two hands that had scratched her scalp, put away the five energy crystals on the table and wrapped them in the thin rock sheepskin again, and put them in the pockets of her mountaineering clothes on her bulging chest as if no one was around.

"Sir, nothing impossible, this is a device that can be teleported in both directions, I think we have reached a preliminary consensus, when you studied the bones of those snow beasts, we once again conducted an in-depth study of the complex activation device next to the base of the teleporter, concealed under the stone slab, in which Ansally and Song have the greatest credit, although there are dozens of holes embedded in the opening disk, but in fact, using five holes to inlay energy crystals can start the teleportation light curtain, if we don't only have five crystals, we can't use it twice, Song and Ansally have already used the teleporter behind us to teleport over......"

Noticing that because of his own action, the two members of the European white expedition team breathed involuntarily and rapidly, and a hot light appeared in their eyes, Maria still couldn't help but be secretly proud in her heart, but her face showed a serious look, looking at Sir Ashburn, who had woken up and looked a little annoyed, and said Chinese sentences in a calm tone.

When Maria spoke, there was a faint sense of strength on her body, which made the two members of the white expedition team wake up quickly, such a girl is not her own dish, because she thinks too much and causes shortness of breath and unsteady breath has calmed down quickly, and she concentrates on thinking about the topic of everyone's conversation.

After Maria beat the side drum, Sir Ashiburne knew that he couldn't do it without saying anything, the five energy crystals could indeed activate the boot disk, instantly releasing an unimaginable amount of energy to make the teleporter light curtain appear again, so that the joint team might fail to use the energy crystals in vain, or it was better to use them yourself.

As soon as he thought of this, Jazz's look of annoyance had disappeared from his face, and he exuded the inherent scholarly temperament of an anthropologist, his blue-black eyes looked around left and right, and said in a decisive tone: "I will use the energy crystal myself, and no one knows better than me how to use it to make the teleporter start!" ”

"Yes, an hour later, the personnel gathered, packed up all the equipment that could be taken away, and Sir Ahiburne used the energy crystal to activate the teleporter, whether you can go out depends on this fight, it is obviously not feasible to return to the ice field by taking the same cold passage, the snow beast is a big problem, we are running out of supplies and food, is there any disagreement? If there is, it will be brought up for discussion, but it will not be done in this way. ”

Zhuge Hanyu, who was dressed in a light purple mountaineering suit, moved the folding stool under his buttocks, put his palms on the table and shook each other, his big and dark eyes swept over Adella, Maria, Alan, Sir Ahiburne and others, and spoke in a resolute tone, finalizing the next plan of action.
