Chapter 127: The Cave
Zong Yu thought for a while: "Let's see if there is any record of meteorites." ”
"Nope." Xiao Horn shook his head: "Forty-eight years ago, science and technology were already very developed, especially if such a large object really fell from the sky, there must be a record, but I checked it and there was no record of meteorites in the Modak area, and I just looked at it, the texture on the stone ball is man-made at a glance, it can't be a celestial meteor, I wonder, could it be that this stone ball existed a long time ago but it didn't appear for a long time." ”
"The Eye of Hell appears in a cycle of twelve years, so let's push forward another twelve years."
Little Horn picked up a square instrument on the ground: "Whose is this?" ”
Zong Yu looked at it: "This is the female doctor who studied the Eye of Hell before, what the hell is this?" ”
The little horn tilted his head and looked at it for a long time: "It seems to be a thing to measure the pressure underground, which is a good idea, but it shows that the pressure in the underground here is not right, it stands to reason that there are so many magma underground, it should be a hidden volcano here, why is the pressure underground not high?" It doesn't make sense. ”
"I don't think it's a volcano." Zong Yu thought for a while: "I saw the crack open and close a few times, except for the witty beast crawling out, I didn't see anything like a volcanic eruption spewing magma, but I feel that this underground is a place to accommodate those giant beasts, this is an oil-producing area, everyone knows that there is rich oil in the underground in the Middle East, could it be because of the ignition of the underground oil?" ”
The little horn shook his head: "Boss, if you want to burn, you must have air, if it is really oil burning, how can there be so much air underground?" And you also saw that stone ball, it's not underground, why is it also thousands of degrees of lava inside? ”
"I always feel like there's something underground... Zong Yu looked at the square instrument in the little horn's hand: "Since this thing can detect the pressure underground, it should be easy to find where there is an entrance to the underground, you try it." ”
The little horn patted his head: "Yes, if we can find other entrances to the underground, then the theory of oil burning can also be established, I'll look for it first." ”
As he spoke, the little horn walked out with the instrument, and Lin Yan came over: "Brother-in-law, I suddenly remembered something, have you ever heard an Arabic story?" ”
Zong Yu was puzzled: "Arabic story? Which one? ”
"That's right, legend has it that there was a rich Arab man, rich but childless all his life, this rich man was particularly stingy, although he had countless treasures but was reluctant to enjoy, so he was unwilling to close his eyes before he died, so he insisted on more than ten days is not breathing, when there was a famous wise man in the local area to see him, the next person told the wise man about this, the wise man knew that this rich man loved money, and cherished money all his life, and must be reluctant to die of his large wealth, so the wise man said a few words in the rich man's ear, The rich man actually closed his eyes on the spot and swallowed, everyone did not know what the wise man said to the rich man, so they asked the wise man, the wise man laughed, I told him, your treasure has been divided among people, if you want to take back the treasure, there is only one way, go to heaven to complain to Allah, let those who have usurped your treasure go to hell, as soon as this word came out, those people were all on fire, and in an instant, the rich man's mansion was engulfed by a fire, only the wise man came out of it unharmed, and later, a big hole was cracked in the groundThe devil who was burned by the fire turned into a devil with a burning flame and the treasure they had seized fell into the cave with a bang, and the next day, the hole in the ground was gone, but every few years the hole in the earth would be cracked, and it was said that Allah punished those people who came back to find money-grubbers like them and dragged them to hell. Lin Yan said and looked at Zong Yu: "Brother-in-law, do you say that this story is very similar to the situation we encountered?" ”
Zong Yu smiled: "It's just a story, why take it seriously." This story just warns the world that you shouldn't reach out for what you shouldn't have, otherwise you will end up like those people, how can it really happen. ”
"But even if it's made up, it won't be groundless, and there must be other reasons for this story to spread, whether it is related to treasure or not, I think it is very likely that the people at that time had discovered this eye of hell and made up this story."
"There's some truth to that, too." Zong Yu thought for a while and nodded: "Maybe this Eye of Hell really existed a long time ago, Yan'er, where did you hear this story?" ”
"It's an Arabic legend, and I was particularly interested in it when I was a child, and I remember that there was a story that seemed to be followed by those who, in order to reduce their suffering, would give away a little bit of their unscrupulous treasure every time the ground cracked." Lin Yan looked at Zong Yu: "Brother-in-law, you see, the ground is cracked with a big hole, and the monster with flames is a treasure sent out of the ground, how similar it is, I think that story is based on the eye of hell, although we haven't seen any treasures, but the stone ball can't have fallen from the sky, there is only one possibility, the stone ball is also drilled out of the ground, maybe it is the treasure in the corresponding story." ”
Zong Yu smiled: "Okay, whether it's a treasure or not, I think since it comes from underground, when the little horn finds the underground entrance, let's go down and take a look." ”
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "But the ground is full of flames, even if you find the entrance to the cave, you can't go down." ”
This is, the little horn hurriedly walked in from outside: "Found it, boss, you come with me." ”
Zong Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his heels, and the little horn took Zong Yu and Lin Yan to a big stone more than two meters high: "This is it, the entrance to the cave is under this stone, and you pay attention to this stone, there are many small holes like ant holes on it, it is likely that the air enters through these small holes." ”
Zong Yu tried to push, but he couldn't push at all, and the little horn said: "After the air enters from here, it burns out in the cave, so the air pressure inside is lower than the outside, this stone is firmly sucked here, and it can't be pushed by pushing, only by breaking this stone." ”
"Look at me." Lin Yan raised her hand, and the blue long knife appeared in her hand, she slashed horizontally, and the stone was easily cut into two pieces like rotten mud and rotten wood, and there was a big hole nearly one meter wide in the middle, and it didn't seem to be as hot as she imagined, but it seemed to have a cold air.
Zong Yu looked down, there was no spark, the cave was dark, nothing could be seen, as soon as he raised his hand, a flashlight appeared in his hand, and he took a look into the cave, and saw that the bottom of the cave was only a few meters deep, and the ground was dry and flat, Zong Yu looked at Lin Yan and the others: "I'll go down and take a look first, you guys are guarding outside." ”
Saying that Zong Yu went down to the mouth of the twin caves, his limbs just touched the cave walls on both sides, and he easily frightened the bottom of the cave, there was a side hole at the bottom of the cave, Zong Yu walked in without thinking, and he felt a little hot without taking a few steps, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, he followed the bright light, not far away, the front suddenly opened up, the scene in front of the king, Zong Yu couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that in front of him, there was a huge lava pool, the lava in the pool was boiling, and from time to time there were bubbles several meters large, and countless giant beasts were gathered in the pool, One by one, they were all soaked in the magma and only stretched out their heads to expose the outside, quietly as if they were asleep, Zong Yu was puzzled, it stands to reason that these guys are all machines, why are they like real animals, and the magma temperature in this pool is as high as thousands of degrees, what kind of metal can be so resistant to high temperatures? What surprised Zong Yu even more was that the roof of the cave above his head was like a huge umbrella bone, scattered from the middle to the surroundings, completely man-made appearance, and it turned out that the cracks in the ground seen outside were opened and closed by this mechanism.
Zong Yu looked around, the hole was bare, there was nothing else, and he was about to turn back, suddenly, the center of the pool began to bubble non-stop, Zong Yu hurriedly retreated, only to see a stone ball exactly the same as the stone ball outside floating up from the bottom, the only difference is that this stone ball is covered with clear cracks.
