After the map above is opened, the map that appears below is a hand-drawn tree in the sky, surrounded by cliffs, and this map is not the undead tree that grows in the abyss?

Xiao Ling showed a look of surprise, thinking that this Zhou Kesheng was indeed worthy of being a survivor who had searched for the Pisces Jade Pendant in the eighties, it turned out that he had entered here before, but he was afraid that this map was drawn by him based on his previous memories.

In this way, he knew that there was an undead tree here in the first place.

Zhou Kesheng took the map and looked around. Xiao Ling noticed an arrow drawn in one of the directions of the map, and knew in his heart that the direction that this arrow pointed to should be the area they were going to now.

Zhou Kesheng relied on the map to compare the surrounding objects, and looked upwards from time to time, his left hand habitually pressed his heart, it seemed that the heart part was very uncomfortable, and soon he found the direction pointed by the arrow on the map, stretched out his hand and said: "Go in this direction." ”

Xiao Ling saw it in his eyes and was secretly surprised.

It seemed to him that there was darkness in the distance, and it looked almost the same.

Sun Tao took out a brand new spare searchlight in his backpack, and used the penetrating beam of the searchlight to sweep into the distance to help Zhou Kesheng, but it was indeed unbelievable that the correct direction could be determined only by these comparison maps.

Xiao Ling secretly thought: "Kesheng really has some ability this week, anyone can do without the scientific expedition team, and he can't be missing, otherwise he will be like a headless fly, I'm afraid that I will be lost in this darkness a long time ago, and I won't argue about things." ”

After determining the direction, Zhou Kesheng put away the map, and everyone rested on the spot, ate some food and water, and replenished their strength.

Except for Xiao Ling, everyone else was very tired.

Xiao Ling's physical fitness is now amazingly good, and he is full of energy, even he feels incredible.

Sun Tao and other team members are the elite of the elite who have undergone professional training, and their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, but now it seems that Xiao Ling vaguely feels that his physical fitness seems to be higher than them.

"It's really a little strange, since the head injury, my amount of food has gradually increased, my physical fitness seems to be getting better and better, and my strength is getting bigger and bigger, as if the whole body is changing, and I don't know if there are any side effects of this change, is it also because of the sequelae caused by the injury in that area of the head?"

Xiao Ling pondered silently, the only reason he could think of was related to the injured head, maybe some area of his head was damaged in that car accident, and these abnormal situations occurred.

The undead tree completely collapsed, and the man-eating beast that had been pursued disappeared.

After resting for a while on the large pile of charred branches, everyone continued to hurry according to the direction indicated by Zhou Kesheng.

Stepping on the branches that have become fragile due to charring under their feet, there is a crisp sound of crackling sound with every step they take, and everyone hurries with deep and shallow feet.

Most of their equipment was lost, and conditions became more and more difficult. There was no way back the way it came, and the food could only last for two days.

Everyone must find a way out again, or if the underground magma erupts, everyone will be buried in this underground world.

Everyone knew that the situation was serious, and that the time left for them was getting less and less, and after only ten minutes of rest, they hurried again, and everyone hastened forward.

Xiao Ling handed over the camping lamp in his hand to the others, and walked in the middle of the team with Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao, touching his waist, the military waist knife was still inserted there, and it was not lost.

Sun Tao walked at the front of the team, holding a strong searchlight in his hand to lead the way, the bottom of this abyss is extremely vast, perhaps the earth-shattering noise caused by the complete collapse of the undead tree scared away all the living creatures in this area, and everyone did not see a single animal all the way in.

Everyone hurried all the way, walking for more than thirty minutes, and finally the charred branches piled up on the ground began to decrease, and they were approaching the edge of the abyss.

Sun Tao, who was walking in front, stopped, and the searchlight in his hand shone into the distance, and in the strong beam, everyone saw a round stone pillar.

This is not a naturally occurring rock, but a pillar with obvious signs of artificial carving.

In this underground world, which is at least two kilometers above the ground, suddenly saw a stone pillar with artificially carved traces, and everyone was amazed and stepped forward to watch.

This circular stone pillar is about one meter in diameter and seven or eight meters high, and the surface appears to be dilapidated, and there are some text symbols carved on it that resemble oracle bone inscriptions, but because the surface is seriously damaged, most of these text symbols are also mutilated and almost unrecognizable.

Some of the photographic equipment that Pang Yan was carrying was also lost after falling from the collapsed immortal tree, but fortunately, the camera hanging around her neck was still there, and the inspection was not damaged.

She exclaimed while taking pictures: "It's incredible, there are such artificially made stone pillars under the ground more than 2,000 meters deep, and there are oracle bone inscriptions carved on them?" Could it be that there is a remnant of an ancient underground civilization here? ”

Li Zhibao is an expert in the study of ancient characters and civilizations, and he carefully looked at these remaining text symbols, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hu Shengzhe said: "The oracle bone inscription is a kind of writing that appeared during the Shang Dynasty, so it seems that there is a civilization in the ancient Shang Dynasty here?" ”

Li Zhibao suddenly shook his head and said, "No, this is not an oracle bone inscription, but an ancient text than an oracle bone inscription." ”

These words made everyone stunned, and they looked at Li Zhibao together.

Li Zhibao is an expert in the study of paleographies, and since he has concluded that this is not an oracle bone inscription, it is certainly not an oracle bone inscription, but if this inscription is older than the oracle bone inscription, it can only come from the Xia Dynasty, which was earlier than the Shang Dynasty.

Zhou Kesheng groaned: "So it seems that this is the Xia seal of the Xia Dynasty engraved on it?" ”

Li Zhibao said in a deep voice: "No, it is an older text than the Xia seal of the Xia Dynasty, and it is a Yu book from the Yu Dynasty. ”

Xiao Ling had a look of surprise on his face, he knew the Shang Dynasty, and he also knew the even older Xia Dynasty.

According to historical records, Dayu became the Son of Heaven because of his meritorious work in controlling water, opening the history of the Xia Dynasty.

"Xia" is Dayu was named after Yang Zhai was named after "Xia Bo", and then finally became the name of the country, which is considered to be the beginning of the hereditary dynasty.

But before the Xia Dynasty, whether there were more ancient civilizations and dynasties, Xiao Ling never thought about it, Li Zhibao said that the Yu Dynasty and Yu Shu, he heard it for the first time, in his concept, the Xia Dynasty is already the oldest dynasty, which can be said to be the origin of Chinese civilization.
