Volume 3 The Silver City of the Dome Chapter 6 Three Ways of Men and Horses
It seems that this Dome Silver City is really mysterious, although I don't know if there are those nine-eyed dzis, but just listening to this Liam's description, we also have a strong interest in this ancient city.
When Mao heard Liam talk about the jade skull on Tuesday, he also thought it was a treasure, but when he thought about it, this Dome Silver City was obviously more than that, so he didn't say anything more.
Now the most important thing is to find the entrance to this ancient city, in the vast snow-capped mountains, the ruins should have been covered with snow, and it is impossible to say whether there has been a collapse in the geological changes over the years.
Liam only has this page of information, and does not say where it is, so the most important thing in front of us is to continue to look for an entrance to this snowy mountain.
We packed up our gear and decided to continue up the mountain, but by this time the snow had stopped and the wind was still blowing.
There is no road on this snowy mountain now, and we have to use both hands and feet to avoid slipping along the way.
In the middle of the line, suddenly a strange cry came from nowhere, and the wind was so loud that I couldn't hear where the sound came from.
Liam's face turned pale with fright, and he picked up his rifle and said, "Oh no, no, that monster is here again!"
We had just heard Liam talk about what had happened to them last night, and we were shocked to know what to do, but at this moment, we had already seen that the snow in the distance was still flat, but somehow it had risen and was slowly moving towards us. Looking at the bumped part of the snow, winding forward, it was already hundreds of meters away from us in a while!
I yelled and said, "Guys, guys!" ”
The crowd hurriedly loaded their guns and unsheathed their knives. With a grenade in my hand that I had saluted from Liam's camp at the time, I watched nervously as the rising snowdrift approached us.
I saw the right moment, unbuckled the grenade, and threw it into the snow!
With a loud bang, the grenade exploded in the snow, causing a shower of snowflakes and the uplifted snowdrift disappeared in front of the grenade.
But at first glance, there is no bloody scene that we want to see.
I was so frightened that I hurriedly formed a small circle of people, each with a gun, nervously watching every move in the snow, but after the grenade exploded, the snowdrift was gone, and we were still glad that the monster was scared away.
Tuesday Mao said: "This shouldn't be a dragon, how can there be a dragon crawling in the snow!"
I was also secretly relieved in my heart, and just when I thought there was no danger, suddenly a gunshot rang out from Ma Bo's side!
Immediately afterwards, I saw a white shadow swishing out of the snow, this speed was too fast, and before we could see what was going on, this white shadow had already burrowed into the snow again, and Marber was so frightened that he almost lost his pants, and hurriedly retreated to the middle of our circle.
I asked Liam if he still had any grenades, and Liam shook his head and spread out his hands to indicate that there were no more.
I panicked and hurriedly ordered everyone to cover each other and continue to run towards the mountain.
At this moment, suddenly a snowflake splashed, and I saw the huge white shadow burst out of the snow again, and rushed towards the place where we had just stood.
Fortunately, we have already run away, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
This time, we finally got a rough look at the white shadow, and this thing was obviously not the dragon in our impression. But this is certainly not a snake or anything like that, and the most peculiar thing about this monster is the eyes, all the eyes we see are horizontal, and the eyes of this monster are actually vertical, and when the monster sees that the blow misses, it roars again, and swims towards us!
My mind flashed, this can't be ???
When I was a child, I often heard my grandfather tell me some strange things in ancient times, and mentioned an animal called the candle dragon, also known as the candle nine yin. Living in the extreme cold of the north, it is daylight when you open your eyes. If you close your eyes, you will be at night, you will be blowing for winter, you will be exhaling for summer, and you can call for wind and rain.
In particular, those eyes are this kind of longitudinal eyes.
Legend has it that one day the candle dragon was sleeping soundly, and when he heard the stones rolling on the mountain, he turned into a bird and went out of the mountain to watch. A closer look reveals that the vat is full of human blood, and there are many men's souls howling inside. It was very unhappy, so it took a big breath, and at this moment, the sky froze.
Is the extremely cold place in the north mentioned in the book not here?
We retreated and retreated, and we had reached a cliff, and if we wanted to go any further, we could only climb the snow wall.
We are now in unspeakable fear, waiting for this monster to reappear, and not wanting it to appear.
At this moment, behind the stone wall directly opposite us, suddenly a gunshot rang out from the bottom of the mountain, followed by a burst of intensive gunfire, we looked at each other, why is it so lively on this snowy mountain today, and someone is coming again!
Suddenly, with a snort, the monster flashed in front of us!
With a Tibetan in a leather robe in his mouth, I was so startled that I was about to shoot, but I saw that the monster was heading directly towards the steep cliffs, and the speed was staggering.
At this moment, a panting Tibetan rushed up with a gun, and when I saw it, it was the Tibetan guide we had met in the Gobi that day with the two Swedes.
Just as they were about to speak, Bayant and Goodmandson also ran up out of breath, and the two walked up and began to gasp for air.
At this time, the Tibetans also recognized us.
The man at the head pointed at me and said, "Didn't you come to Ali's scientific expedition?" ”
I nodded a little awkwardly.
The Tibetans asked, "What about the monster in the snow?" ”
I pointed to the cliff and said, "Go down." ”
The Tibetans ran to the cliff with a desperate face to check where there was still a trace.
By this time, Baynt and Goodmandson had already seen me and came to greet me.
The two of them were also a little surprised to see me with a few Englishmen and Indians.
But now everyone probably knows what the other party is doing, and it doesn't look particularly embarrassing.
It turned out that these two Swiss did not go to the ruins of the Guge Dynasty at all, but went directly to the snow-capped mountains, in this snow-capped mountains have been coming for many days, they have no more accurate information, can only look for the snow-capped mountains one by one, and then those Tibetans heard that they were going to come here, they were a little timid, and left one after another, leaving only this one guide and the Tibetans who were captured by the monster just now, but they met us today.
Compared to us, these two are real scholars, and they are not here for any treasure.
But now we were three teams, a dozen or so improvised teams, gathered around to discuss the next plan.
It is estimated that it will take a day to climb this snowy mountain, and Bayentt means that he still has to go up, I am more opposed, even if we are down from the plateau, we have been adapted to it on the plateau for so long, and it is still difficult to breathe, this dome silver city was populated at that time, how could it go to the snow line to build a huge castle?
Liam and Tuesday Mao and others also mean the same, after all, more than a thousand years ago, building a castle at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters must have consumed manpower and material resources, which must have been unimaginable.
Seeing that everyone agreed with me, Baynt had no choice but to give up and ask me what I thought.
I said, "Let's look over here on the mountainside and see if there are any ruins or anything like that." It is estimated that this dome silver city has collapsed long ago, and if it is according to the book, this palace should be built according to the mountain. ”
At this time, I began to miss Bo Dongha, this kid's nose is extremely sensitive, according to the ghost eight immortals, smelling the copper wire may not be able to be found directly.
We were still in a state of panic, fearing that the monster would rush out again, so we hurriedly picked up our equipment, and were about to withdraw, when suddenly another sound of barking at the cow came from under the cliff.
We were a little surprised, could this monster come up again?
I picked up my gun and cautiously looked down the cliff.
I saw that under this cliff, the fog was shrouded, although I couldn't see it clearly, but a horizontal stone attracted my attention!
The stone must have been polished by hand, in the shape of a cylindrical shape, on which something could be faintly carved.
I was overjoyed and shouted to everyone, "Look below! ”
Everyone gathered around me when they heard my shout, and Bayant said excitedly, "It should be it!" Could it be that this Vaulted Silver City can't be built under this cliff?"
But it was not easy to go down from this cliff, not to mention that there was something below that seemed to be a candle dragon.
