Chapter 802: Honeycomb Stone
Before entering the Immortal Cave, I first asked Huang Yuzhong to take out a compass to measure the magnetic field, and sure enough, the magnetic field in this area was very chaotic, and Huang Yuzhong's compass kept trembling, and he couldn't point the right direction at all.
Then I took out the compass and tried it, and the blue gold of the old Jin family was really powerful, and after shaking it slightly, the pointer pointed to the east and west.
Huang Yuzhong asked me, "Why does your compass point to the east and not to the north?" ”
"The magnetic root is special." I casually replied and put away the compass.
I don't know if the compass with blue gold can still point normally inside the immortal cave, if the compass is not easy to use, then I can only change my plan and take Li Huaishan into the immortal tomb.
I rearranged the queue, I was in the front, Li Huaishan followed closely behind me to help me show the way, in charge of Donghai and Wu Lin's palace, Qingyazi was the backbone.
If you want to enter the fairy cave, you must pass the water curtain under the waterfall, the hammer is afraid of water, and it got into my jacket early in the morning, and the big and small black thieves follow me around, often like a mouse stealing oil, hunched up and looking around.
The two of them had been like this since yesterday afternoon, and when I asked them why, Da Hei said that since he had entered the woods, he had always felt that his father had been secretly looking at him, and that he was very uncomfortable.
After hearing him say this, I went out of my way to check the situation around me, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Later, Dahei himself said that it might be an illusion caused by the chaos of the Qi field, so I didn't care about it.
The curtain of water hanging from the waterfall was not thick, but the water was stronger than we thought, and as we passed through it, we felt like a lot of nails spilling down, smashing the top of our heads and shoulders.
Behind the curtain of water is a huge area of honeycomb stones.
The stone covers the back of the waterfall almost completely, and the stone face is full of dense holes, and from a distance, it looks like a large honeycomb hanging behind a curtain of water.
I put my head into a hole and took a closer look, and found that the stone had been artificially embedded behind the waterfall, and that it was supposed to be an ordinary wind erosion rock, but then it had been eroded by water vapor, and the surface had become very smooth.
Lao Han shouted at us through the water curtain: "There was originally a stone gate behind the waterfall, which was broken through by us, you can just go in directly." ”
Needless to say, I saw that behind the honeycomb were scattered some mossy gravel slabs, and in some areas of the honeycomb stone, it also showed a sulfur yellow.
Lao Han, they didn't "break" the door, they "blew up" the door, and they used a lot of gunpowder, which caused the traces of vulcanization on the honeycomb stone, and this is what I can't figure out the most.
The sulfidation of the honeycomb stone means that the explosion must have affected it, this stone is full of holes, it looks very fragile, but the violent explosion can blow through the half-meter-thick stone door, but it cannot be shaken at all.
I remember that Qing Yazi knew more about geology and engineering, so I turned around and asked him, "Lao Chen, can you tell what the texture of this stone is?" ”
Qing Yazi shook his head: "It will definitely not be visible with the naked eye alone, and it needs to be measured by professional instruments." ”
Lao Han outside the water curtain heard our conversation and shouted at us again: "Professional instruments can't measure it, we only measure it out of it." ”
Dragon crystal, is obsidian, this thing is the volcanic lava suddenly cooled by the water and the formation of natural glass, the original ridge mountain, should be an underground volcanic eruption formed by a rock mound, I have checked the historical data, the literature can not find this generation There are other volcanic eruption records, if the honeycomb stone really contains dragon crystal, then it should be produced from the ridge mountain.
I found a relatively large hole, rolled over and climbed in, and the people behind me followed one by one.
Behind the honeycomb stone is a very wide tunnel, at least 10 meters wide, with rock at the bottom and soil at the top.
The hammer twisted itself out of my jacket, and as soon as its feet hit the ground, it seemed to spread its legs and run into the depths of darkness.
Seeing that this guy wanted to act alone again, I immediately shouted: "Hammer, come back!" ”
Hammer had barely taken two steps before he stopped and turned to look at me.
The light was dim, and the hammer was originally a black hair, and in such an environment, its outline could hardly be seen with the naked eye, but its eyes were very bright, like a pair of dark green luminous stones, staring at me not far away.
This cat has nothing to do with the word "cute", and when it stares at you like this, you will feel very panicked.
I said to Hammer, "No one knows what's going on in the hole, so don't run around." ”
Hammer wagged his tail and walked back and forth in place, as if considering whether to come back. It was a few moments before it slid back onto my shoulder.
At this time, Zhang Donghai and Wu Lin at the end of the team also came in, and I heard Zhang Donghai ask Wu Lin: "Your sniper, it's not a domestic product, right?" ”
Wu Lin responded coldly: "You guess." ”
I turned back to Zhang Donghai and glanced at him, motioning him not to ask more, and Zhang Donghai nodded at me.
To tell the truth, I'm not afraid that he is long-winded, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, this guy is originally specialized in intelligence, I'm afraid that he will be dizzy for a while to investigate Wu Lin, and it's okay if he can't find anything, if he finds out something, Wu Lin will directly kill Donghai in order to kill him.
It's not that I'm alarmist, Wu Lin really did this kind of thing.
Looking at the other people in the team, Li Huaishan, Huang Yuzhong, and Sun Luyuan are too poor, and Qingyazi's physical fitness is worrying.
This team is indeed full of problems.
Now I feel more and more that Qingyazi's words are right, and I should really find myself a few teammates who are in tune.
But now where do you ask me to find my teammates? Let's make do with it!
When everyone was ready with the lighting tools, I beckoned and led the team on.
The tunnel connecting the entrance to the cave is diagonally downward, but the slope is very gentle, we walked for a long time, the soil layer above our heads turned into rock formations, I would take a flashlight to shine on the top of my head from time to time, the reflection on the rock formation was very soft, and I could not see the protruding stone tip, as if it had been specially polished.
Once, when I swept the light over my head with a flashlight, Li Huaishan also swept the light to the top of the tunnel, and when the light could not be found, only a large area of darkness remained, but I could see from the afterglow that the stone wall on the left side of the tunnel seemed to be glowing slightly.
This feeling only appeared for a moment, and then Li Huaishan moved the flashlight to the ground, and the beam of light affected my dark vision, and the glimmer on the stone wall disappeared.
I turned off the flashlight and asked Li Huaishan to turn off the flashlight as well.
The surroundings suddenly darkened completely, and I squinted vigorously and stared at the place where the glimmer had just appeared, probably because the light was so weak that I could not see anything in the opposite direction, but in the afterglow, I vaguely felt the light.
"Huang Yuzhong, is there anything abnormal around?" I couldn't confirm whether there was a glimmer of light or not, so I could only ask Huang Yuzhong for help.
Huang Yuzhong responded: "The stone wall seems to be coated with a very light phosphor, and there is a very weak faint light, which can't be seen by staring at it, but it can be felt in the afterglow." ”
He said so, it must not be wrong, but there was a glimmer of light around him.
But the light was so weak that I couldn't even tell if it was blue or green.
I leaned over to the stone wall, shrugged my nose and sniffed the smell of it, and I could smell a faint smell of gunpowder and fish, as if someone had smeared it with fish oil mixed with gunpowder powder.
Then I reached out and wiped it on the wall.
The humidity is heavy, the touch on the hand is slippery, but I can't tell whether it's water vapor or grease, and I can still feel a faint grainy feeling during the process, and the stone wall is indeed smeared with a very thin layer of powder.
Just by wiping it on the stone wall, I felt that all the meridians and blood in my body were mobilized, which showed that what was rubbed on the stone wall was poisonous, and it was highly poisonous.
"Ergou, turn on the lights!"
As I shouted, I reached into the side pocket of my backpack with my backhand and pulled out a very short carving knife.
This thin knife, which is only three centimeters long, was copied by me some time ago, and I still have some other replica tools used to crack the mechanism, and I still have it with me.
Li Huaishan immediately turned on the flashlight.
With this light, I slashed my left hand with the blade of my knife, and the blood flowed out in a bubble, just to the area where my palm had just come into contact with the stone wall.
The toxicity was quickly resolved, and I carefully sniffed the smell on my palm, the smell of blood and gunpowder was mixed together, except for the fishy smell just now.
The fishy smell is actually a poisonous smell.
I put the carving knife back in my backpack and turned around and shouted at the people behind me, "Don't touch the stone wall, it's poisonous!" ”
As I spoke, I deliberately glanced towards the team, I don't know if it was my delusion, but when my eyes fell on the end of the group, I felt that the silhouettes of Wu Lin and Zhang Donghai were floating, as if a thick layer of water vapor was surrounding his body.
This anomaly only appeared for a moment, and when I looked closely, the outline of the two of them became very clear again.
At that time, I thought that maybe it was because I was trying too hard to distinguish the glimmer on the stone wall, which caused my vision to have temporary problems.
Then we continued to move forward in the tunnel, and an hour later, Li Huaishan suddenly stopped me and said that something was wrong.
I turned around and asked him what was wrong, and Li Huaishan said: "The direction is wrong, when we first came in, we walked in the southwest direction, but now our direction of travel is facing due west." ”
Hearing him say this, I immediately took out the compass to orient myself, and now the direction of the extension of the tunnel is indeed due west.
But the direction of the entrance of the cave is obviously southwest, and after walking in the tunnel for so long, it has always been in a straight line, and there are no curves on the way, why did the direction suddenly change?
