Castle of Bathory, in the woodland on the east side.

The backside of a low hill was already unrecognizable at this time, and the small half of the hill collapsed, and from a distance, it looked like a fluffy hemisphere of bread had been bitten off a large piece, and the trees that had originally grown on the low hill were also upside down or broken, and piled up horizontally and vertically.

In the center of the tree, there is a huge sinkhole with a diameter of nearly ten meters wide, and a group of people are surrounded by the sinkhole, looking at their embarrassed appearance, as if they have experienced a catastrophe that has survived a near death.

This group of people was the same people who escaped from the sinkhole, and when they reached safety after their successful escape, they were relieved to feel tired, and they sat or lay on the ground, and did not move for a long time.

"Hoo-hoo-huh—finally out of danger." Zhang Boyin, who was close to the pothole, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and sighed with palpitations.

"I'm so lucky, if Lao Yang hadn't found a way out, we would really have been buried alive." Ma Jun rejoiced on the side.

"Hey! I said Brother Yang. Lu Yuan reluctantly sat up and looked at Yang Qianyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the side. How did you know that the top of the dungeon where we were located could be breached by Da Song? What if the soil layer is too thick to be opened? ”

Hearing this, Yang Qianyu took his attention away from Xue Xiaojing, who was leaning on a fallen tree not far away, and looked at Lu Yuan. "Of course I'm confident."

When the surrounding companions heard this, they were also very curious, and they all gathered around to listen to Yang Qianyu's explanation.

"Why?" Lu Yuan asked with interest.

"Because I saw the roots in the dirt." Yang Qianyu replied with a slight smile.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. "What kind of reason is that?"

"Huh? Don't you know? Yang Qianyu raised his eyebrows and explained: "Generally speaking, the area and depth of the root system of a tree are one-to-one with the area and height of the tree. In other words, how wide the leaves and branches on the ground stretch out, the root system in the ground is basically the same. The depth of the tree's taproot system is as deep as the trunk of the tree on the ground. Of course, this refers to the proportion of the general soil situation, and the special situation will be different, for example, if the soil environment is more humid in the area where the tree is located, the root area will be expanded, and the depth will be reduced; And vice versa, if the soil is dry, the area will shrink and the depth will deepen – all of which should be common sense? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qianyu looked at the people around him with a look of 'I can't believe you don't even know this'.

"What kind of common sense is this?!"

"Who's going to pay attention to that?!"

"You're uncomfortable if you don't give us science popularization, do you?"

"You're an encyclopedia, you even know such out-of-the-way knowledge?!"

"I know you're a scholar, don't be so sassy, give us ordinary people a way out, please!"

was first forcibly popularized by Yang Qianyu's tirade, and then deeply ridiculed by the meaning revealed in Yang Qianyu's eyes, and everyone who was physically and mentally shocked complained loudly. If it weren't for the fierce battle before and the escape that almost exhausted everyone's physical strength, Yang Qianyu at this moment would have to be beaten by his companions. Of course, Yang Qianyu also knows the current situation of everyone, so he will do this to show death, so that he will not repeat the mistake of Ma Jun who was beaten by the group when he died (see chapters 42 and 43 above for details of the death process and results of Ma Jun's children's shoes).

Fu Bin, who was sitting on the side, watched everyone tired themselves again because of excessive complaints, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Compared with Li Xiang's off-line personality from time to time, Yang Qianyu's demonic character from time to time is even more disgusting, but fortunately, Yang Qianyu is harmless when he shows his demonic character to his companions, and there is no malice in nature, plus everyone knows this well for many years, so there has been no irreconcilable unpleasant thing. If outsiders were ridiculed by Yang Qianyu like this, they would have to be so angry that the three corpses jumped violently and smoked.

"Ahem, that ......" Just after everyone stopped complaining because they were too tired, a weak voice came into everyone's ears. I saw that Liu Tianyu, who was in a coma because of serious injuries during the battle, opened his eyes blankly, as if he had not yet accepted the reality that he was now outside the underground palace. "How did we get out? What the hell is going on? ”

The ...... looked at each other, and they were too tired to answer (or bother to speak) because they were too tired to explain. As a result, Liu Tianyu became more and more inexplicable.

"I mean, what the hell am I missing?"

“……”

－

The unfigured slump sat on the floor for about half a day, and after regaining some strength, everyone stood up with each other's arms and prepared to return to the camp on the ground.

But when they walked out of the woodland, they were shocked by what they saw.

The place that was originally the remains of the castle of Batholi has been completely reduced to ruins, and even the cathedral, which was not destroyed in the war more than 200 years ago, has now collapsed into a pile of rubble bricks and tiles, and the castle, which has only a few main structures, has been completely razed at this moment. The area of the lake on the north side of the castle has been greatly reduced, revealing a large area of silt at the bottom of the lake.

"This? What the hell is going on? Sun Xiaoyu looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment.

"I guess it's the above-ground buildings and terrain changes caused by the collapse of the underground palace, right?" Li Xiang said unconvincedly.

"That's all I can say." Fu Bin accosted on the side: "To be able to destroy this area like this, it seems that the movement from the collapse of the underground palace is not small, it is estimated that it can be felt within a radius of several miles, right?" ”

"That's not good news." Yang Qianyu's face changed slightly when he heard this. "I remember that there was a village not far from here, and although the villagers there rarely came to Castle Bartoli, they couldn't have been unaware of such a big commotion now, and they would have come to check it out when the time came. By then......"

There is no need for Yang Qianyu to say it, everyone understands the stakes. Although the rumor of 'Bathory's relics' has been rumored for nearly 200 years, it has not attracted much attention, but that is because the so-called treasure has not been confirmed and discovered. Now that there is such a big commotion here, and it is so abrupt and strange, it is bound to cause rumors of related treasure hiding for people again, and then it will trigger another round of treasure hunting. If the traversers were found to have been present at the site of the accident at the Castle of Bathory, there was no guarantee that they would not receive additional attention, and the chances of finding out that they had obtained the treasure were greatly increased. After all, this is the treasure of a principality, and the possibility of being coveted is too great. Therefore, everyone did not dare to stop longer, and after finding the campsite, they quickly packed their bags and left here quickly by detour.

"What do we do now?" On the way, Fu Bin asked.

"Now that the purpose of our trip has been achieved, there is no point in staying longer." Li Xiang replied. "Let's go straight home."

"Okay, let's go home!"

"Okay!"
