Zhao Xinghua stood behind the ape man with a war knife, watching this tall underground man slowly wither and fall to the ground holding his chest, a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, presumably it was Xie Yunhao's last blow, which had shattered the other party's heart.

"Good kung fu!"

Zhao Xinghua sincerely admired.

"It's damn bad, this thing is too hard to fight."

Xie Yunhao gasped slightly, and during the short fight just now, he used almost all his strength.

When the other people saw that the battle was over, they also surrounded them.

"Hey, what is this?"

Li Yan picked up the fluorescent stone and fiddled with it.

Tang Haoran bent down and rummaged through the corpse of the underground man, hoping to find some other items on it so that he could study the laws of their lives.

Xie Yunhao took off the big bow on the ape-man, pulled it and handed it to Zhao Xinghua, and asked:

"Can you tell what the bow is made of?"

"It's heavy, it's not metal, it's like the root of some kind of plant."

"Possibly, the soil is scarce on the cliff walls here, and if the plant grows here, it needs a well-developed root."

When the two of them were studying this bow, Tang Haoran turned out some plant fruits and a piece of cured meat from the animal skin pocket on the waist of the underground man.

"This should be caveman food. Hey, Dr. Lee, aren't you afraid that the stone will have radiation? Ores that normally emit light are radioactive. ”

"Don't be afraid, this is not an ore, this is like some kind of plant, not a fungus, like a mushroom or something."

"Mushrooms? It looks so hard. ”

"It must be some kind of fungus that can secrete special enzymes, and it emits this fluorescence when it comes into contact with air."

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Ma, you leave your weapons, go outside to dig up some more of those glowing lichens, fill the pockets on your bodies, and then go back the way you came, report the situation here to Commander Huang, and say that we will stay here for a while and continue to explore this underground world, and the other exit must be protected, and other underground creatures cannot be let out. Find an expert to cultivate the lichens you collect, these are treasures. ”

Xie Yunhao gave orders to the two armed police soldiers who followed, and his eyes showed even more interest. There must be a lot of precious resources in this underground world that are not available on the ground, and we must find a way to carve out a base here.

"Don't just dig in one place, spread out, dig only a little bit in each place, if there is a sudden lack of a piece in one place, I am afraid that it will be noticed by the natives here."

Zhao Xinghua reminded him.

"Major Zhao, I have an idea."

Xie Yunhao said with some embarrassment.

"Do you want to go to this place where the underworld people came out?"

"Hey, yes."

"I think we should keep watching, we should wait, if there are other cavemen in that cave, and its companions see that it has been out for so long and has not returned, they will take the initiative to come out and look for it. Like just now, we are waiting for the rabbit to sneak up from behind, and it will be easier to get it. If no one comes to look for it after a while, it is most likely that it lives alone. In either case, we can be more sure if we observe for a while. ”

"You have a point, I listen to you."

Zhao Xinghua: The platform where they are should be the highest point in this underground world, and there is a dome not far up. These glowing lichens also grow on the dome, and the entire underground world is under this fluorescence, revealing a magical vitality.

"Doctor Li, why do you say there is such a huge space underground?"

"Hundreds of millions of years ago, Xiaoxiang Province was full of oceans, and the location we are where we are now may have been a trench in the past."

"Trench?"

"Yes, the Mariana Trench, the largest in the world, is currently 11,034 meters deep and 2,550 kilometers long, arc-shaped, with an average width of 70 kilometers. The closest to us, the Japan Trench, is 10,682 meters deep, 890 kilometers long and 100 kilometers wide. It may have been a small trench in the past, but the upper part collapsed due to a crustal change, sealing it off underground. This underground world originally had an exit to the surface, and those apes entered here thousands of years ago, perhaps these Homo erectus were hunted down by our ancestors Homo sapiens and ran here to take refuge, and since then they have lived here for generations. There should also be some other animals that entered the area before the surface was sealed. The flora and fauna here have grown and multiplied over thousands of years to evolve into forms unique to this region. ”

"You say, will there be human life here?"

"It's not a good idea, but it's very likely, maybe there's more than one ape-man population here."

"The environment here is very similar to the scene described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Tang Haoran interjected next to him.

"Oh? Is there such a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? ”

"Well, the age of the writing of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a mystery, but it must be before the "Book of Shang". There are 18 chapters in the whole book of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the content of the rest of the chapters is early. The original total of 22 articles is about 32,650 words. There are 5 Tibetan mountain scriptures, 4 overseas scriptures, 5 domestic scriptures, and 4 great wilderness scriptures. Lü Buwei and Qu Yuan both read this set of books, because "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" describes many contents of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Tianwen" has a lot of the same content as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". After Sima Qian was instigated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he worked hard to write the "Historical Records", but he encountered a book that even he did not dare to judge - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". In the end, he honestly wrote in the "Historical Records": "To all the monsters in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Yu dare not say anything. In fact, not only Sima Qian, but also historians of all dynasties had to shiver when they encountered the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and they were all taboo about its content. The monarchs of the past dynasties were quite polite to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, this book was not burned; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone, and abandoned many books, including the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". ”

"Go on."

Several people next to him all came around, and they all showed very interested expressions.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" records: "There is a big gully beyond the East China Sea." "Liezi Tang Wen" said more mysteriously, "In the east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big gullies, but there is only a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, and the name is called the ruins." The water of the eight strings and nine fields, the flow of heaven and Han, all pay attention to it, and there is no increase or decrease. This ruin should be the trench.; "The Classic of Mountains and Seas - The Classic of Nanshan" has "Three hundred miles to the east, it is said to be a mountain of the court." Golden wood, white ape, water, gold. "Is it possible that the white ape here is the Australopithecus that has not yet entered the earth?; In "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Southern Classics", "The immortal people are in the east, and they are black, long-lived, and immortal." "What does it mean that "longevity" and "immortality" are listed separately? The immortality here is not immortality, but the theoretical immortality, "being black for people", the living are not black, but some forms of corpses are black, could it be that zombies, zombies are gray and black, belonging to the gap between death and immortality. ”

"Isn't that far-fetched?"

"Hehe, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a different book, and our earliest myths and stories are all transmitted here, such as "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Nuwa Mending the Sky", "Yugong Moving Mountains", "Jingwei Reclamation" and so on. The most bizarre thing about this book is that there are descriptions of whites and blacks in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as well as descriptions of the American continent, all of which have led some scholars to believe that the Chinese had surveyed the entire earth at the time of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It has been said that this book may have been handed down from an earlier civilization. ”

"It's almost time, no one has come to check on it for so long, we can go down and take a look."
