Pang Tong stroked his chin, and he thought for a while. Look at the faint face of the city that is slightly sloping due to the change in terrain. The desert has buried part of him, and the tall buildings still tell the story. The kind of building that should be five stories high, the two floors of his protruding surface have square windows, which are covered by wooden planks. But in fact, the plank should be tilted inward.

Pang Tong looked at this spectacle and thought, "It must be because of the earthquake, swallowed it." Changes in the topography have shaped the place. Yes, it must be. The movement of the earth's crust caused the rock layers to move to it, and then it obscured it all. Then, people build the city on this new ground. After all, it's a strategic location in terms of location. It is a midpoint station that connects Zhongyuan to the east and Jiuquan to the west. He snapped his fingers. Untied the ropes from his body, and so did the others. So that they can go further. But he had one of them tied a rope because he needed to go up there and get a message.

Pang Tong said solemnly to the soldier: "You go up, call the craftsmen down for me, and call a hundred more people down." The soldier tugged at the rope, and the man above understood what it meant, and pulled him up. He had to deliver orders to Pang Tong.

The broken surface of the city is connected to the wall. Pang Tong looked back, and the quiet darkness made him frown. It was still an unconquered area. The firelight only illuminated half of the area. The other half sank into the gloom. However, it seems to be just an extension of the desert, an extension of the area under the city walls. Maybe it's just a desert.

His speculations suddenly connected to a creature. If that sound comes out, then it can't be a desert. Because the creature met them in the water. Maybe it's possible to climb up too? He swallowed with a throbbing Adam's apple. He thought it better for him to call more people down, otherwise it would be difficult to reconcile the primordial creatures that were forming in his mind.

At his signal, a dozen craftsmen came down, and five hundred soldiers, and the whole process took a lot of time, and it was already dusk. But there seems to be no clear boundaries to time. For it had been dark before, and now it has been illuminated by the light of fire. The winding fiery serpents that cover the cities and deserts never seem to go extinct. However, Pang Tong had already told the leaders of the task force that the flames in the desert blocking the road could be extinguished by stones or iron plates, or sand, after all, the fire on the wall was the largest.

According to Pang Tong's plan, the craftsmen instructed everyone to start work, first sweeping the sand from the city wall with a shovel, and then using it as a foundation to erect a wooden frame firmly tied to the wall stacks. They started building with the resources they had brought down. Little by little wooden shelves spiral upwards to the top. By the time the project was completed, Pang Tong had already woken up on the sand. He opened his eyes and asked Dian Wei, who was sitting next to him, "What time?" ”

"It's supposed to be morning."

Pang Tong yawned and stood up, and the guard came over with a plate with steamed buns and water bags in the bowl. Pang Tong sat on the wall battlement, watching the wooden shelves extend to the top. A ring-shaped, perimeter-reinforced staircase ascends to the platform, and then the wooden ladder on the platform reaches the surface at the same distance as the well is passed. Under this design, it is much more convenient to transport materials and people.

Dian Wei said as he stood on the side as he wiped away the last crumbs of the bun. He asked suspiciously, "Adults are much calmer than us when they see this." The people below are saying that this is the underworld. Why are you so calm and calm, thinking about building these wooden shelves, as if you are going to occupy this place? ”

After Pang Tong finished eating, he stood up and said loudly: "This is the lost ancient country, buried here because of the earthquake!" Witness the miracle of history with your hands! His voice echoed through the space, and the people around him could hear it very clearly. Everyone showed an excited expression, and some people had questions in their hearts.

With the help of this tall wooden frame, which Pang Tong called the "ladder of heaven", five thousand people have come to the underground world. Their job was to dig the sand of the city into the area outside the city walls. They are numerous and very motivated. Pang Tong sat on the wall stack, watching the sand around him be dug up little by little, and the sand inside went to the outside, and then exposed the tops of some low houses. The outlines of the houses are presented one by one. Others have been torn apart by unnatural or long-term relationships. Pang Tong felt that the progress was too slow, and he ordered five thousand people to come down to help.

The entire area of this city should be larger than that of Guzang City. But since half of it was shattered, the current volume is two-thirds the size of Guzang City.

"Ahh

The screams rang out behind him, sending him creeps. He turned to see that it was a dark realm that could not be seen by fire. A fire point ran over and shouted, "Monster! Monster! Before he could finish his voice, a loud "oh" roar had already rushed over. Everyone froze in an instant, and the work in their hands was completely forgotten.

These battle-hardened men broke out in a cold sweat and immediately looked towards the darkness. Pang Tong drew his sword. The others picked up the weapons stacked next to the ladder and waited for them.

"We're the ones who cut down sandworms!"

Someone roared like this, in fact, to hide their fear.

"Come on!"

Pang Tong said loudly: "Let me see what you are!" Come face my army! His sword pointed at the darkness. The sound of the waves was heard. Pang Tong knew that the guy was gone, and there was indeed water in the darkness.

This voice is all too familiar, this underground creature, it is really hard to fathom. He wanted to know what that guy looked like. Not now, though. Because he knew that the monster would not be able to swim ashore. It also reassured him a lot.

He turned to the soldiers and shouted, "Don't be afraid, it's just a small animal, you go on." If he dares to come, he will be dismantled, and I will invite everyone to eat meat! ”

Some people laughed dryly, some laughed, as if the gloom in their hearts had been swept away in an instant. They continue the work of their hands. Pang Tong sat on the wall, looking at the darkness, as if a huge head would poke over at any moment. But at this moment, fear has been replaced by a kind of excitement, if that guy comes out, he will definitely lead someone to rush over.

"You, come over to me!"

He said to the fugitive who had dropped his torch and ran up the sand slope to reach the wall. The man was pale and panting and fell to his knees in front of Pang Tong. His shoulders tightened forward, sat up, looked at Pang Tong tremblingly, and said, "Big ...... Adult ......"

Pang Tong originally wanted to reprimand him, after all, no one let him run so far. But seeing the pitiful middle-aged man, he calmly asked, "Calm down, what do you see?" ”

The middle-aged man felt frightened when he thought of that picture, and said half-loudly: "Zhou Shun and I walked over, and we thought it was all sand, so we walked a little farther, and who knew that I heard the sound of water." We walked a little further there and saw the river. Zhou Shun had the courage to run into the river to take a look, who knew that a big monster suddenly appeared in the water, stretched out his head and bit him...... I was so frightened that I quickly ran back......"

"I bite it in one bite...... Pang Tong muttered, "But that's what sandworms do, it's not a big deal." ”

With that, the soldiers' organs in turmoil quieted down. Pang Tong patted him on the shoulder and helped him up.

"Let's get to work."

"Yes!"

The sun and the moon rotate, but the inside is a hue that never changes. Five days later, there were 20,000 people working in the underworld. The sand outside the city is stacked high, and the streets inside are already exposed. People seemed to be digging for treasure. They are looking through the face of an ancient building. Pang Tong walked on the street, feeling the breath of the ancients when they walked by. However, they did find a lot of ancient people in the process of excavation. A lot of skeletons, a lot of armor, weapons, no rotten cloth, and other signs of the ancients. Many of the houses had collapsed before they could dig them, and they were only half complete. Pang Tong speculated that the gravity of the suddenly overturned sand destroyed the building. Those weapons and armor walked.

He lifted a horned helmet that had been piled up on the ground by his men, and looked at a leather helmet. There are a lot of different weapons and equipment here, which seem to come from different countries.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that there was a war going on at that time?" ”

"Adults care about these things?" Dian Wei asked.

"Tianxiong, look at this country, why are there several types of equipment."

"It's not a country, it's at war." Dian Wei seemed to say directly without thinking: "No country will divide its weapons and armor in a mess, and that kind of lineup has no morale at all. ”
