Chapter 0451 - Natural Water Port

The two of them struggled to climb down from both sides, and when they met, they confirmed that it really had nothing to do with the target, and there was no artificial trace at all, not even a single foot socket.

You must know that there are all mountain cliffs, and if no trace is destroyed, it will exist for a long time.

"It's a pity ......"

Xue Lang looked back at the dry waterfall again, shook his head and sighed.

If there is water, it must be a big sight, not to mention the picturesque scenery, it is definitely worth seeing.

Since it was not the target, the two of them went directly to the position of the gap in the east, which is the position of the giant's mouth.

It is more than two kilometers away from the dry waterfall, and the terrain is not too high, the whole is still flat, and the terrain seems to be getting lower and lower as you walk, and it is estimated that it will not be more than fifty meters above the water.

Sure enough, when they saw the Charana River, it was no more than forty meters above the river's surface.

Standing at the position of that huge gap, Xue Lang's eyes lit up.

Below, there is a large open area near the river, which is estimated to be more than a few million square meters. The river, in this position, is a huge backwater bay, and it is not very similar, more like this is a huge gap left by the perennial rain erosion and collapse, the length is more than a kilometer, and the width is several hundred meters, but the area of the backwater bay there, the design of the wharf is very suitable, maybe it was a natural wharf before.

And looking at the river in the distance is the same as on the map, it is more than ten times wider than the upper riverbed of the head, if the river is deep enough, the passage of huge cruise ships is just right here, you can dock in the backwater bay, dock and moor, and it is not affected by floods, and it will not be difficult to turn around in the river, and there is a danger of capsizing.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Xue Lang said, taking the lead and walking down the gentle slow slope on one side.

Zuo Boyang followed, walking on the slope overgrown with lichen plants.

Although there were ravines washed out by the rain on the road, it did not delay the walking, and the slope of 100 meters long was soon completed.

As soon as he went, Xue Lang keenly felt that this was a wharf, but there was no cement structure, and the very flat position near the water was also rocky, so he couldn't tell if it was artificially built. But on the whole, even if it is covered with lichens and some weeds, it is not difficult to see that this place should have been built by hand, because it was too peaceful.

The entire platform is more than ten meters above the water, and the location adjacent to the water is obviously corroded by perennial water waves, and the dog-toothed rocks, and even the rocks that emerge from the water surface in the water should have been eroded a few meters away in countless years.

Looking back at the cliff formed by the gap, Xue Lang judged very firmly that this was artificially excavated.

Even if it has been weathered for many years, it is all a rock structure, how can it be that the circle is straight? It's a little too straight, like a foot on the beach, and there is no slope on the upper part of the surrounding edge, except for weeds and shrubs growing near the roots, which are thought to be similar shapes formed by the accumulation of mud from the rain.

There is a door!

As soon as this judgment came out, Xue Lang's heart moved.

This shows that there was once a civilization stationed here, and it is still modern, and it is definitely not an era without ships, let alone the local natives.

The ancient seafaring culture of the local aborigines is almost non-existent, and they will definitely not go to such great lengths to build a wharf.

If it is not bad, the slope that came down was artificially constructed, thirty or forty meters wide, but it fell very gently, and it was estimated that it was a road for transporting goods.

Zuo Boyang also saw the doorway, stood on the edge of the adjacent water and said: "Mr. Xue, this is not a natural formation, there are artificial traces here, and there is an undercurrent below, indicating that there is an underground river leading directly into the river." ”

Undercurrent?

Xue Lang looked at the backwater bay in surprise in the direction Zuo Boyang was looking.

At this glance, he also saw the doorway.

The water surface more than ten meters away from the shore is not stationary, but small rippled whirlpools appear on the surface of the water from time to time.

What is clearer is that on the water surface, the color of those positions with flow traces is completely different from the position of more than ten meters and twenty meters next to it, forming a clear water belt on the water surface, and the length extends out for dozens of meters.

It's kind of interesting......

Xue Lang pondered and picked up a stone the size of a skull and threw it towards the location of the obvious marks.

Poof!

The stone splashed and then sank.

At least ten meters deep......

Looking at the rippled and twisted water patterns floating in the direction of the river, Xue Lang came to a basic judgment and confirmed that there was indeed water flowing there.

Is the opening of the waterway meant here?

Looking at the surface of the water, Xue Lang gave up his plan to study it, because he didn't have diving equipment, and he couldn't see the traces of the waterway.

If the search still fails, this is the place to solve the puzzle.

Maybe the water is coming from a man-made waterway.

But after turning around, Xue Lang looked at the height of the rising sun and shook his head again.

There is no place at the top of the Purple Qi here.

The most basic peak of the purple qi is a high mountain, and although there is a cliff above, the terrain is gentle, and it is not a high mountain at all. If you can't see it from a distance, how can you see the deep bottom of the near-vertical depression?

Even if the undercurrent under the water is artificially constructed, there is no key point in the hint, and it is a waste of time to dive.

After a few turns, although I didn't see anything special, it was definitely suitable for a port. Now the water depth is 10 meters, if you dredge it again and get a water depth of 15 or 6 meters, you can completely berth large ships, not to mention cruise ships, even if it is a freighter of 30,000 or 20,000 tons.

Let's start with this as a first choice......

Xue Lang pondered and prepared to search around.

Here, it's not necessarily the place to look for, but it's still necessary to look around to see if there are clues.

Zuo Boyang will also turn his attention back to his surroundings.

Here, even if it's not a treasure entrance or something, it is said that there should be a treasure hint, otherwise, the waterway opening of the treasure key hint will not be in this position.

Just as Xue Lang was about to leave, Zuo Boyang suddenly saw something of interest.

He pointed there and said, "Mr. Xue, look at that stone like a sausage." ”

Sausage?

Xue Lang turned his head to look at it, and at first glance, it was really a bit interesting.

A strip-shaped boulder is horizontal at the end of the shore, the root is submerged in the water, the front is a little round as a whole, the back is gradually thickened, the overall thickness is about two meters, obliquely, on the shore, exposing the embankment more than one meter long.

It's really a bit of a sausage......

Xue Lang pondered and walked there.

Such a stone is definitely not a natural formation, although there are no traces of polishing, but such a shape and the color of the rocks on the shore are not the same, and it must have been transported from somewhere else.

Zuo Boyang also followed. Since it's a treasure hunt, you can't let go of any clues.

The two of them came to the boulder, but they saw nothing strange about it. Manpower movement is obviously not realistic, even if modern means to lift the whole is not all cranes can do, I am afraid of dozens of tons.

The two of them circled around the stone a few times, looked under the water, and did not see what the stone was for.

However, it is a foregone conclusion that this is artificially built, regardless of whether this stone is not needed to throw it in the later stage, but its existence proves that there is a civilization here.

Although there are no traces of human habitation around, it is certainly not a natural formation.

The two of them have more confidence in their hearts, that is, the treasure theory really exists.

This stone may be to build some kind of palace, and it may not be used as a pillar, so it is discarded.

As for the cylindrical shape, it may have been this shape originally, when it was a column, or it was square, and it was weathered by wind and rain for hundreds of years to form a circle.

Xue Lang pondered and stretched out his hand to touch the stone, and found that there was indeed a weathered foot, that is, the surface could be picked off.

Withdrawing their hands, the two glanced at each other, and then turned their eyes around, ready to find a direction to start searching to see if the clues to the treasure were here.

I looked back and forth here several times, but I couldn't find anything unusual.

Here, like a horseshoe print, surrounded by cliffs, with a gentle slope on one side and a platform at the bottom, although the platform is not small, it does not mean anything.

There is no special clue to suggest, and the most that can be proved here is that there have been traces of civilization.

Do you have to go into the water?

Xue Lang stared at the well-defined water surface, wondering if he could get two sets of diving equipment, go in and see if the waterway was related to the undercurrent here.

Zuo Boyang was also confused, there should be a hint here, how could there be no hint?

But with a clear view of the surroundings, there is nothing special about it.

Xue Lang withdrew his gaze from the water, glanced at Zuo Boyang, who was still looking around, and said with a smile: "Since it is a treasure hundreds of years ago, how can it be possible to find clues when you come?" ”

Zuo Boyang's long hair fluttered, and he also smiled and said, "Indeed, if it were so easy, it wouldn't have been buried for hundreds of years." ”

Xue Lang looked around again and said: "No matter what, at least as a port, the cruise ship will stop here as a hotel, and some auxiliary facilities will be built on the platform, that is, leeward, and you don't have to worry about flooding, you can experience the fun of river tourism upstream, here, it can't be regarded as no gain, at least the wharf has been found." ”

"Haha! That's right, too. ”

Zuo Boyang laughed.

Treasure hunting, if you really bite to the death, suffer from gains and losses, it is really troublesome. Treasure hunting requires a good attitude and not too persistent.

At least the location of the dock has been locked, and he thinks that this place can be built as a dock.

Xue Lang's mentality is already good, although he wants to know the specific location of the treasure, but he can't solve the problem in a hurry, right?

Patting the strange big stone, Xue Lang looked around again, and said: "Since the information prompts, then this location still needs to be searched carefully, so let's go our separate ways and follow the base of the cliff to see if there are any clues buried by the soil." ”

"Okay."

Zuo Boyang agreed, then got up and walked in the direction where he came from the farthest place, preparing to start looking for clues from there.

Xue Lang left the stone pillar and was ready to start searching.

But the moment his hand left the stone pillar, he suddenly paused.

The front end of this stone pillar looked like a finger no matter how he looked at it, and the traces after the erosion of the wind and rain still felt a bit like a fingernail.
