Chapter 22: The Shipwreck Graveyard

After traveling a few kilometers, we came to a large low-lying area, the size of several football fields, like an inverted pyramid-shaped crater, shallow on both sides and deep in the middle. From above, the deepest point may be twenty or thirty meters deep, and the bottom of the pit is very dim, and it feels like something is dancing in the shadows, which makes people shudder.

"Look around first. Although he found Lao Wang's destination, Lao Li didn't dare to go down rashly.

"There's a discovery!" Akagi and Bald beckoned in the distance, and they found some tripods and mapping tools, as well as some archaeological tools, Luoyang shovels and shovels.

"The tools are still here, they may have gone down. Lao Li speculated.

"Lao Wang, they may have found something, there is something down here. The bald man made a few holes in the grass with a Luoyang shovel, bringing out a lot of columnar soil, which he crushed in his hand and looked at carefully.

Wood has never seen a Luoyang shovel, "What is this for?"

"It was first used by tomb robbers in Luoyang as a tool for tomb robbery, which can clearly see the soil structure and distribution underground, simply put, it can find out the location of the ancient tomb underground, and now it is more used for archaeology. "Wood didn't expect the bald man to be able to say serious things.

"Look at this, and this," said the bald man, pointing to two knots of dirt, "there is a lot of sand and small pebbles in this layer, which should be a riverbed, and the quicksand traps on the dome of the tomb are similar to this. There are a lot of wood chips and silt in the other layer, and the wood is of different types, it should be fir and nanmu for shipbuilding. ”

"So, we are above the ancient riverbed, and there are shipwrecks below?" asked Lao Li.

"It should be so, maybe the entire Balar steppe is an ancient riverbed, so the terrain is lower than the surroundings, and here it may be ......"

"What's it, don't sell it. ”

"Ancient lakes. ”

The two armed policemen were left on the top of the pit in order to answer them, and to prevent Lao Wang from coming back. The others prepared to go down to the bottom of the pit to search.

Lao Li and Chimu first made piles on the pit, fixed the rope, and then slowly lowered the bald, tara and wood to the bottom of the pit along the ropes. When the bald man was halfway down, he looked at the contents of the earthen wall, and he could barely close his mouth, and then Tara and Wood saw something unusual.

I saw that there were masts, decks, oars, keels of the ship, and various parts of the ship embedded in the earthen wall, some of which were in tatters, some of which were only partially exposed, and it was certain that the entire layer of earth was full of fragments of the ship.

"Why are there so many boats here?!" Lao Li and Akagi also came down.

"Looking at the style of this ship, it should belong to Zhao Guo. The bald man stood beside a large, relatively intact shipwreck, "I don't have a clue why there are so many ships. ”

The group only descended to a small earthen platform, and there were two more such earthen platforms before approaching the low pit. The boat in the soil layer had already given them a lot of shock, and when they reached the bottom of the pit, they only felt that it was beyond words!

The bottom of the pit was full of intact ancient ships, but there was no one in the darkness of the vision, and the eerie scene gave them goosebumps, and the shadows of the fangs and claws they had seen above must have been the masts and broken sails of these ships.
