Chapter 24: The Underground City

On the light brown ground around us, there were countless small holes about three inches in diameter, which were too many to count at a glance, like spots on the body of a Dalmatian, which gave people goosebumps when they looked at it.

"What's going on?" I looked at Liang Ruoyi with a puzzled expression: "Will this happen?" What kind of geological formation is this?! ”

"Do you know the sand cave? Or maybe it's called a sand hole! Liang Ruoyi frowned slightly, as if she was not sure of her explanation.

I nodded: "Half a year ago, in the Cliff Beach of Forgetfulness, that underground canyon was not formed by the special structure of the beach by the sea?" ”

"Perhaps." Liang Ruoyi squatted down and looked at the entrance of the cave: "Look at it, it's really like what you said, the edges of these holes are very soft, but they are elastic, and it is estimated that it is similar to the beach of the Forgetful Cliff Beach last time." ”

"I don't know what's down here......" I muttered, "By the way, take out the map and see where we're going!" ”

Liang Ruoyi nodded, took out the map from his backpack and spread it on the ground, I looked at it twice, and felt that I couldn't understand this kind of map that was too professional, so I simply looked at Liang Ruoyi.

"Huh?" Liang Ruoyi suddenly exclaimed after a few glances: "I really didn't expect that we had really come to our destination after running crazy for so long in the second half of the night." ”

"Where?" I asked.

"Here!" Liang Ruoyi pointed to a darker place on the map and said: "To the south is the Nalati Ridge, and further north, there is the Nalati Grassland, where we are located, which is the junction of the high ridge and the grassland, a very narrow area. ”

"This is what Yuan Yizong fancied back then?" I stood up as I spoke, looked around, and was just about to say something, when I suddenly felt a shock under my feet, and then instantly lost my center of gravity, and subconsciously grabbed Liang Ruoyi, and fell directly!

"Ahh Oops! ”

The height is not high, and I was thrown to the ground in the blink of an eye, Liang Ruoyi seemed to want to retaliate against me, but he didn't know how to sit on my lower abdomen all of a sudden, and I grinned in pain: "Oh, don't!" My ribs are still cracked! Again...... You're sitting in that place, and it doesn't seem like a good place. ”

Liang Ruoyi took a bite of me in the dark, stood up and looked up: "The entrance of the cave has actually moved!" Is this a geological formation? ”

I clutched my stomach and stood up: "Transferred? No way? ”

As he spoke, he looked up, and sure enough, when he was on the ground, the hole closest to me was about two inches in front of me, and just now, for some reason, this hole suddenly shifted dozens of centimeters to my side, and the speed was extremely fast, there was no warning at all, so I fell off defenselessly.

"Huh!" I smiled bitterly and said, "Eldest sister, you say, what kind of geological structure do you have to make such a situation?" ”

Liang Ruoyi shook his head: "I don't know, we ......"

Before the ice beauty finished speaking, she looked behind me and froze. I hurriedly turned around to look, and was also startled by the scene in front of me: in the darkness in front of me, there were countless rays of sunlight shining through the holes, and through these rays of sunlight, I could clearly see that the countless stones in front of me were carved with the heads of the fierce steppe wolf, like the bull head and horse face in hell, which made people feel frightened when they looked at it.

I was stunned for a few seconds before I came back to my senses, and when I looked closely, I saw that in front of us was a smooth stone road about one zhang wide, and after about ten meters, the stone road suddenly turned downhill, and then there was an underground city, and I could see several stone houses, high and low, and countless small stone roads shuttling through them.

Wolf heads, stone houses, stone buildings, paths, and even ruins that resemble farmland, and at the far end, we can vaguely see a huge building, I don't know if it is a palace or a sacrificial temple of heaven.

At this moment, the beam of light above us was slowly shrinking, and after only two minutes, the holes were gone, and the entire underground city was plunged into endless darkness......

"I see." Liang Ruoyi said coldly: "Only the hole you fell from just now was transferred, no, not transferred, but because of your weight, it was attracted by you." ”

"Oh......" I nodded, and took out a flashlight from my backpack to light it up: "Beauty, now we can conclude that we are indeed in the right place!" Your Mr. Liang Dong, it seems that the news he knows is indeed very accurate, if I guess correctly, this place is estimated to only show such a hole in a certain period of time in this season, the reason for the urging, it is likely that because of our location, the north is the grassland, the south is the Nala Ridge, this season is the temperature difference between day and night is under a special value, so it will cause the phenomenon of the hole in the ground. ”

Liang Ruoyi looked at me under the light of a flashlight, with a playful face: "Roar, when did you learn this kind of analysis problem?" I see you're about to become an expert! ”

"Hehe, everywhere, it's all learned from you masters! You see, if I can't learn anything from a master like you, then I'm not only too stupid, but I'm also losing your face! I said with a smile.

"Get out!" Liang Ruoyi didn't give face at all: "I also learned to flatter!" Does this work for me?! Let's go, go ahead and see. ”

I answered, watched Liang Ruoyi also take out a flashlight and turn it on, and walked forward side by side with her. As I walked, I thought, if it is really as I just said, the Seventh Master and they will be able to reach this place during the day today, but if they want to come in, it is estimated that they will have to wait until early tomorrow morning, and this is still all right.

However, what if the Seventh Master and they encountered that group of steppe wolves? We've killed two steppe wolves, and it's estimated that the remaining wolves won't give up, and will probably call all their wolf pack to fight with us. Of course, it would be best if, as Liang Ruoyi said, those steppe wolves would not come here.

We soon walked down the stone path, and along the way passed four black stones the size of a man, all carved with images of steppe wolves' heads, and when I came down, I found that the underground city was about two feet high, and when the flashlight was lit up in the super high beam, it seemed that I could see the edge of one side, and the width of the two sides was about 100 meters. On the walls of the stone houses in front, you can already see some carvings depicting the life of the Mongolian people, and if you look closely, you can see that most of them still depict war scenes.

After looking at several stone houses one after another, I found that the smallest stone house had an area of more than ten square meters and a height of less than one zhang.

"This city, I think, is a pawn that Genghis Khan or his descendants have planted here." Liang Ruoyi said softly: "Although the area of the Yuan Dynasty is large, the territory that can really be controlled is not as much as depicted on the map, and this place is an important road to hold things tightly, it is estimated that they will use such a trick." ”

I smiled and quipped, "You say, if we both guess correctly this time, will we just do the next action?" ”

"Come on." Liang Ruoyi moved his right hand and wanted to wave it, but he put it down again: "With you, it's completely one plus one less than two!" ”

I smiled wryly, knowing that Liang Ruoyi wanted to speak with the little finger of her right hand that was cut off by the hooked snake, but I was afraid of irritating me, so I gave up. I don't know, in fact, I have always felt very guilty about Liang Ruoyi in my heart for this matter.

Just thinking about it, he saw Liang Ruoyi walking to a stone house, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the door open, took out a hundred blood stone and stuffed it into his mouth, then shone it in with a flashlight, and then slowly walked in.

I hurried into her room, for the room was so small that it could be seen at a glance, and there was nothing but a few rotten tables and chairs. There was a stone slab in the corner, on which there were still some weedy debris, which looked like the bed of the owner of the house.

"Click-click-"

Liang Ruoyi and I were looking at this room, and suddenly there was a movement outside the door, I subconsciously touched the back of my head, there was no cold, then I let out a sigh of relief, shook my head at Liang Ruoyi, and the ice beauty reached out and pulled out the short blade, and slowly walked towards the door......
