Chapter 231: The Bottom of the Cliff

readx; However, this platform seems to be at the tuyere, the wind is whistling, and it is still very cold, and the blowing on the surface gives people a cold and piercing feeling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wind is caused by the heat of solar radiation, and the movement of air can produce wind, and in the depths of the earth where there is no sunlight, I don't know where this wind comes from.

Looking around, the platform is not wide, but it is very long, stretching along the bottom of the cliff on the left and right sides, and I don't know where the end of the two sides is.

Ning Xiaofan took out the tablet, opened the positioning display map and looked at it.

According to the main line marked on the positioning map, everyone needs to continue to move towards the north, and the north is located in front of everyone. However, the platform extends less than fifty meters ahead, and at the end of it is a bottomless cliff.

There is no way forward.

The crowd was faced with a choice, either to take a detour from both sides of the rock wall, or to find a way down to the bottom of the cliff and then find a way out.

The fat man suggested: "Xiaofan, let's go down from the cliff, if we take a detour, the direction deviates a little far, and I don't know where we will go around?" ”

Before Ning Xiaofan could answer, Wang Zhipeng said, "What if there is no way under the cliff?" I suggest a detour, this cliff is black and rumbling, who knows what danger is down there? ”

This Wang Zhipeng regained the leadership of his own team and became active all of a sudden.

"Hehe, is there a road, is there any danger, just go down and explore, besides, if you are willing to take a detour, no one will stop you, isn't it ......" The fat man, the disdain in his eyes was not half concealed, and the words were quite repulsive.

"What's your attitude?" Wang Zhipeng said angrily.

Ning Xiaofan glanced at Wang Zhipeng and said lightly: "Okay, you two don't talk so much nonsense, Hou San, you go down to investigate first, be careful." ”

Hou San's role in the team was to explore the way, but he had no complaints, and immediately beckoned Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi to prepare equipment.

Compared to climbing the cliff, the cliff is much easier, as long as the rope is long enough, strong enough, and then there is a pulley to assist in sliding, do not worry about danger, and do not consume much physical strength.

Soon, the other end of the rope was fixed with rivets at the top of the cliff, and after throwing a large roll of rope off the cliff, Hou San put on a safety suit with a hook pulley, put the rope into the pulley, and jumped down like this.

The rope whirred and slid in the pulley, stopping occasionally, and after a while, the pulley stopped rotating, and then Hou San's response came from the headset.

There is a road below

Ning Xiaofan was slightly overjoyed, and motioned for the fat man and the others to go down in turn.

"Team Leader Wang, how do you arrange it?" Ning Xiaofan asked Wang Zhipeng, and he really wanted the two teams to separate and throw away this trouble.

"Since there is a road under the cliff, it is still together, and there is great strength in numbers." Wang Zhipeng replied with a sneer, he obviously knew that his team was weak and lacking in materials, and if he didn't rely on Ning Xiaofan's team, not to mention that safety could not be guaranteed, even survival would be a problem.

Ning Xiaofan smiled noncommittally, if it weren't for Li Wanting's sake, he wouldn't have bothered to ask.

It didn't take long for everyone to rappel down to the bottom of the cliff.

At the foot of the cliffs, there are piles of rocks, but to everyone's delight, there are still many plants that can shine here, although not as dense as the fantastic canyon, but there is no shortage of light sources. Not only that, but the crowd also found that some of the stones also emitted a faint halo, red or green, with different colors and colors.

For these glowing rocks, Ning Xiaofan was not as anxious as he was by the creek at the beginning, but secretly signaled the fat man and the others to test it.

The final conclusion was somewhat disappointing, the stones were of little value. Through testing, there are two reasons why these stones emit light, one is that the stones themselves contain minerals, and the other is a little strange, that is, there is a microorganism attached to the surface of the stones, which is similar to bacteria and algae, why do they glow? But I don't know.

However, when the fat man and others secretly tested these glowing stones, Professor Zhao and the others were not idle, and their group of experts and scholars were also quite interested in the glowing stones, but they didn't seem to know the existence of spirit stones, but simply held a research attitude.

However, Professor Zhao and others reached a preliminary conclusion through testing, believing that the bacteria and algae on the surface of the stone are similar to the unique red stone originating from the red stone beach in Sichuan.

The red stone beach is located on a river beach in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan, the red stone in the river beach is not that the stone itself is red, but that there is a strange fungus growing on the surface of the stone, so that the surface is red, and a large number of parts are on the riverbed rocks.

What's even more bizarre is that this fungus can only survive on the red rock beach, if you take the red bacteria and algae away from the red rock beach, it will soon die, until it turns gray and black, and even disappears.

This phenomenon is so mysterious that it still cannot be explained from a scientific point of view, so much so that the "mystery of Red Rock Beach" still exists today.

Professor Zhao and others did not pick up the stones after taking the samples of the algae, because they had already detected that once the glowing algae left the sinkhole, it would die as quickly as the redstone algae attached to the red rock beach, and thus revert to an ordinary stone.

Fortunately, no matter what, since this strange fungus can survive in the sinkhole and can emit a halo, then, for the next journey, everyone does not have to worry about rushing in a state where they can't see their fingers......

The terrain at the bottom of the cliff resembles a dry river beach, about 100 meters wide.

In the center of the river, there is a trickle of water that winds down from the pile of rocks, the stream is clear, and the bottom of the stream is hidden with five-colored light, which comes from the pebbles or mud and sand under the stream, like a multicolored light belt, gorgeous and charming.

The dry sides of the river beach are densely covered with pebbles and fine gravel. The same light is flickering, and people are stepping on the gravel, soft and very comfortable.

At this time, Professor Zhao picked up a handful of gravel, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Xinao came out to explore this time, and the results have been not small. ”

When Ning Xiaofan heard this, his heart moved, and he asked, "Professor Zhao, how do you say this?" ”

"It's very simple, the gold content of this beach under our feet is not low, and a lot of sand gold can be mined out."

It turned out to be Sha Jin, Ning Xiaofan and the fat man were only interested in the legendary spirit stone at the moment, and they didn't feel anything after hearing it, but Wang Zhipeng's eyes lit up, and he said with a burning eye: "Professor Zhao, what do you mean is that this is a gold mine?" ”

"That's pretty much it, but I still think that canyon is more valuable than here." Professor Zhao was noncommittal.

Professor Zhao was noncommittal, but Wang Zhipeng was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and hurriedly took out his tablet computer, marked the coordinates here, and then took out his camera to take a sharp picture of the surrounding environment.

Ning Xiaofan, the fat man and others saw Wang Zhipeng's performance, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, looking at him, they didn't seem to know anything about the situation of the spirit stone......

This place that looks like a river beach, I don't know where it stretches? However, thanks to the route signs on the tablets, people only need to follow the river beach and not deviate from the general direction.

The river beach is full of rocks, shrubs and plants, but it is not difficult to walk. Along the way, Professor Zhao and others did not leave the team much, and the itinerary was much faster.

Walking all the way down, two hours passed unconsciously, and when Ning Xiaofan saw that Professor Zhao and the others seemed to be physically weak, and planned to take a little rest, suddenly, the exclamations of Hou San and Chen Biao came from the headset.

In the depths of this rather mysterious sinkhole, there was a little wind and grass, and Hou San and Chen Biao, who were exploring the way ahead, exclaimed, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked and stopped one by one with nervous expressions.

Ning Xiaofan hurriedly called: "Hou San, what's going on ahead, answer quickly"

"Hair ...... Discover the next skeleton."

"Skeleton? Is it a human or an animal? ”

"Not human...... Brother Fan, this skeleton is too strange......"

Odd? It's not strange what happened in this ghost place, Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly, but he was relieved in his heart, and said: "I said Hou San, what situation will you find in the future, let's talk about it after you see it clearly, don't be surprised." ”

"I don't want to, Brother Xiaofan, you better hurry up and take a look, I can't tell you clearly here. By the way, you'd better bring Professor Zhao here, he's a biology expert, he should be able to see something......"

Do you want to bring Professor Zhao with you? Ning Xiaofan listened to this, and was a little puzzled in his heart, but he still signaled Lao Wang, Xiao Shanzi, Li Wanting, Wang Zhipeng and others to stand by in place, followed by a greeting to Professor Zhao, the fat man and Zhang Chun, and walked forward.

Originally, Ning Xiaofan left Li Wanting behind, but Li Wanting seemed unwilling to leave his side, so she followed on her hind feet. Ning Xiaofan didn't say much about her performance, since Hou San could still communicate through the headset, there was obviously no danger, since she was willing to follow.

This river beach is not straight, there are occasional bends, at this time, Hou San and the others are just after the bend, bypassing a quickly protruding rock wall, Ning Xiaofan saw Hou San and Chen Biao at a glance, however, his eyes quickly opened round, and where Hou San and Chen Biao stood, a huge skeleton came into view.

The skeleton was brown in color, and not only was it thick and strangely shaped, but it was also surprisingly large, at least twice as large as the giant mutant lizard it had encountered
