139 Tunnels
As it turned out, Nantieshan's expectations were still disappointed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The gorilla, which was already in a berserk state, seemed to retain some basic judgment, so it just rushed over and swept it twice, and then swept away the pile of rubble that covered the pathway. Although the pile of stones had been piled up there for a long time, and even the snow marks mixed with the dirt had been piled up on it, but in the face of the wild force, the pile of stones that had been piled up here at some point, where, and for what was scattered almost without resistance.
However, even if it were a non-sane beast that rushed over and fought randomly, it would have discovered the secret behind the pile of stones.
It took a lot of effort for the black-armored man to pass through the gap, because with his muscular size, it was still a little difficult to pass through the narrow passage without hindrance. However, in a hurry, Nan Tieshan, who was dragging the injured body, did not take into account these details, and within a few seconds of the pitch-black passage behind him after he threw himself into the gap, the pile of rocks behind him had already collapsed with a loud noise.
But he still escaped this catastrophe - although his eyesight was limited, he could still judge by feeling that this hidden passage was actually just a slit between the cliffs, probably because this road had not been walked for a long time, and there was no natural influence, the snow in the cliff crevices was relatively deep, and people couldn't even see their knees when they walked up, and it was almost impossible to pass through here immediately, but Nantieshan didn't believe it, the stupid big man behind him was strong enough to break the cliff.
"You have the ability to come here, hahaha!"
Covering the wound on his side ribs, Nan Tieshan laughed loudly at the entrance of the slit, and then was grabbed by the woman behind him, and dragged into the darkness of the passage under the roar of the giant ape.
"I didn't expect you to be able to fight back in that situation." Duan Qing's voice came from the darkness: "It's really good, boss." β
"Of course, who is your boss......" As if sensing that something was wrong, Nan Tieshan stopped his words and thought for a while with some confusion, before touching the rock wall and asking, "Are you okay?" β
"It's okay, thank you boss for your concern."
"Uh, that, that...... Never mind. The black-armored man struggled for a while, and he really couldn't tell where the strange place was: "Where does this road lead next?" β
"If I'm not mistaken......" replied the woman in front of him, "we'll go into a cave." β
"Caves? Are there any caves on this mountain? β
"Falling Star Mountain is huge." The woman didn't look back: "It's much bigger than you think." β
Nan Tieshan lowered his head, and then took out two small torches from his bag: "I have torches here, you two take them and divide them, it's not a ...... to walk in the dark all the time."
Airplanes.
Before he could finish speaking, the road ahead suddenly lit upβthe hand covered by the black cloak was reaching forward, holding a small stone that was now glowing milky white.
"No, we'll use this." Then he heard the woman's reply.
The shrill roar was getting farther and farther away from them, and the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, Nan Tieshan looked up at the top of his head, the two cliffs were getting closer and closer in his sight, and the light in the middle was getting thinner and smaller, until it changed from a ray of heaven to completely invisible.
When the darkness was completely enveloped, the light emitted by the unknown stone in front of Nantie Mountain became extraordinarily clear. He squinted at the strange stone, the hand that held it, and ...... The slight armor that appeared under the hand nodded inexplicably.
"Watch the top of your head."
Then, the woman's voice of reminder came from the front of the road. Nan Tieshan stretched out his hand, touched the cliffs that were already close to his head, and slowly lowered his body, using his strong body to move in the cave in distress.
After ten minutes, they finally got out of the tunnel-like cavern.
"Whew, whew, it's so uncomfortable for me." He gasped, and the last one crawled out of it, and then lay on the ground holding his ribs: "Wait a minute, let me rest and rest, by the way...... Bandage it. β
"Okay." After a period of silence, the milky white light source began to move slowly forward, gradually moving away from the position of Nantie Mountain.
"Things seem to be different...... "Her voice came from afar.
Since it is a cave, the temperature here is still a little higher than outside, which makes Nantieshan, who has calmed down from the strenuous exercise, very useful, but even so, the cold that should be resisted still has to be resisted, and the injuries that should be dealt with still have to be treated. So he struggled to move his body until he held up his upper body with a stone before he gasped and stopped.
"Damn, when did you get so useless...... "Hateful scolding, he began to treat the wound while observing the basic situation of the area he was in.
He noticed something unusual right away.
"These stones ......," he fumbled and picked up a piece of rubble next to him, and took it to his eyes in the dark to look at: "It seems to be artificial......"
"Can't you just take a look at it first?"
The stone that emitted a milky white light moved back, and it corresponded to Duan Qing's voice: "Big brother, you can see it when it's so dark......"
"Hey, look, look, this place...... This place is not natural! Nan Tieshan held the stone and shouted: "Look at the appearance of this stone, it is obviously processed, right?" β
"You take a good look around."
Nantie Mountain Huo Ran raised his head.
The irregular rock wall stretched forward as far as his eye could see, but some parts of it had already shown some broken carving marks, and in the distance under the milky white light, scattered gravel was scattered on the uneven ground, but even if he looked at it from such a distance, Nantie Mountain could see that the initial appearance of those gravel should not be left by some natural stones. But what was even more obvious was the broken stone pillars on both sides of the passage near him, some of which had broken into several sections, and some of which had almost only a root left.
His back, now leaning against the root of a stone pillar.
"This ...... Where is this? Nan Tieshan's voice trembled a little: "Are we still on the mountain?" β
"I said, 'Where's your stone?' Duan Qing didn't answer his question, but squatted in front of him: "It's the piece you received at the foot of the mountain before." β
"Huh? Oh, here, here, here. The black-armored man who came back to his senses took out the stone in his arms: "Fortunately, I didn't throw away the ...... before."
"Looks like this is it." After inspecting the stone, Duan Qing looked around at the silent cave: "It's really surprising that the people who messed up the stone pile didn't lie to you. β
"Is this the place they passed down to you?"
"Probably, but ......" Duan Qing looked at the stone in his hand, and then at the front of the cave with serious artificial marks.
"Since it's true, then the question ...... It's even bigger. β
*******************
According to Xue Lingphantom Ice, the stone in her hand is called "Yubai Stone", which is a material needed for some kind of production, but until now, she has not figured out what this stone can be used for, but after such a long time, she has also found many other uses from the characteristics of this stone, and lighting is only one of the more practical ones.
However, after only a short period of time, this only function was useless.
As they explored, bright lights began to appear in the cave. These pale green soft rays were not created by some artificial creation, but by stones placed and scattered throughout the cavern. Most of the pale green stones have broken into tiny pieces, and only a few of the slightly larger green stones are still telling the story of what happened here with their angular appearance. Duan Qing and Xue Ling Phantom Ice had briefly studied these glowing stones during this period, and the conclusions they came to were extremely unprofessional.
"Do you see something?"
"How is it possible, what do you think I am, encyclopedia?" Duan Qing tilted his head: "But there is one thing I can be sure of......"
"These things aren't emeralds."
"Emerald? Oh......" The woman in the black cloak rubbed her head, "You mean those ...... in the Emerald Forest"
"That place is now a place of interest." Duan Qing said half-jokingly, "But with the current level of players, I want to develop the usefulness of those stones...... I guess we'll have to wait a hundred and eighty years. β
"If we bring out that mage's diary......," the woman muttered to herself, then shook her head, freeing herself from her senseless thoughts, "This place was not like this when I came before. β
"Oh? Specifically, what is different? β
"I don't know, but ......," the woman pointed around, "Originally, there was no light." β
Duan Qing nodded solemnly, then turned around and asked, "Big brother, when you bought that stone before, did the person who sold you say anything else?" β
"Huh? Ah......" Nan Tieshan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while: "...... No, the person who gave it to me only said that this thing is a clue to the existence of a certain ruin on the mountain, and there is nothing useful for the rest...... Oh yes! β
He patted his head: "He said that this stone was also taken from someone else, and then he said that he saw that I was a man, so he gave it to me and so on......."
So people like you think it's easy to deceive...... Duan Qing speculated maliciously, and then put on a smile again: "No matter what, people still didn't lie to you, that stone should have come from here......"
"Fart!" Nan Tieshan angrily picked up a piece of gravel from the ground at random: "This thing is all over the ground, right?" Just pick up a few pieces and sell them, and we might all get rich, ha! β
He threw the stone down the passage, but after a long time, the sound of the stone falling did not come.
"Huh?"
Duan Qing in front of him stopped: "Why did it take so long to ......?"
"What's wrong?"
"The sound of the stone." Duan Qing stopped, and then identified the direction: "That stone was thrown in this direction just now, right?" β
"Huh? Belch...... I guess so. β
"Let's go over and see."
With the pale green light, Duan Qing and the three of them easily touched that placeβit was a pitch-black place where the green light was significantly reduced, and when a few people walked to the edge, they understood why there was no light in this place.
If it weren't for the careful enough of Duan Qing at the front, he would have almost fallen out of this deep pit.
"What is this for?"
Taking out the rain white stone again and shining it under his feet, Xue Lingphantom looked at this boxy, bottomless giant pit suspiciously, and asked the two people next to him: "This pit is not natural, right?" β
"If nature can form such a regular pit, then I will bow to the wind." Duan Qing squatted down and touched the edge of the giant pit, and then looked down through the white light: "It's so deep......"
"If you fall, you'll die."
"Nonsense! The stone I threw just now proves it. Nan Tieshan crossed his arms and said proudly: "Look, the stones thrown by labor and management are so useful......
"I mean, we don't have a chance to go down and explore." Looking at the big man next to him helplessly, Duan Qing explained: "This square pit is obviously used for something, either to lead to a place, or to put something. β
He circled around the edge of the pit, "It can't be used to trap people, or is it dug by some kind of huge monster?" β
"Hey, don't scare anyone......"
"Possibilities, you always have to take them all into account." Duan Qing squatted down on the other side again, without the slightest sense of being next to the abyss: "It's not like we haven't seen such a big monster...... Hey? β
As if he had found something, he touched a place on the edge of the pit and suddenly thought of something: "No......"
He looked up suddenly.
The other two people followed Duan Qing's gaze and looked upward, and sure enough, where the milky white light could shine, they saw an identical square hole.
"These two holes...... It's right, right? β
"yes, then this thing ......"
"Maybe it's some kind of transportation, something like an elevator."
"Is there an elevator that is so high? Does it lead all the way to the foot of the mountain? β
"Not only that, looking at the way it looks up here, maybe ......" Duan Qing turned around and said, "You can also lead to the top of the mountain." β
The top of the Falling Star Mountain-a place that countless players have longed for for a long time, when he was "brought" by Nantie Mountain before, Duan Qing didn't think that he would be able to explore a place that no other player had reached, but due to some kind of coincidence, as well as this mysterious artificial ruins, the previous cloud-like purpose seemed to be so close at hand.
The three people present were all a little silent, as if they couldn't believe that the goal could be achieved so easily - countless players who wanted to climb to the top of the mountain either fell on the steep mountain path surrounded by monsters, or fell on the bad weather environment, if the passage in front of them was really as Duan Qing thought, then they could almost avoid the difficulties encountered by those players before.
The only thing that needs to be done is to climb up this passage.
"Well, let's talk about it." Duan Qing clapped his hands: "How do you ...... up from this place?"
There was a faint sound of breaking through the air.
Nan Tieshan on the side suddenly stepped forward and punched away a cold arrow that shot at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and in the darkness on the other side, a cold cold light stuck to the rock wall, silently attacking Duan Qing who was talking.
"Die!"
