A damaged carriage was dismantled, and soldiers removed wooden axles, planks, etc., from the wagon, and carried them deeper into the cave. Here Alan has cut a square exit with a red blade, and the soldiers brought wooden planks to lay it on the edge of the exit, and then fixed it with an axle diagonal brace to prevent the mud and stone at the exit from collapsing.www.biquge.info Alan led Regis and Lola to explore the path, and they walked out of the cave with torches and came to the stone path that was paved along the mountain wall. The stone path seemed to have carved out of the mountain, heading towards the dimly lit space below. The slope of the stone road is gentle, and in order to prevent accidents, several people walk against the mountain wall. The light of the torches can only illuminate things within a few meters of the surrounding area, and the space in the belly of this mountain is extremely empty, and it is difficult for the firelight to illuminate the entire space.

From time to time, the stone path passes by some rock pillars, which are huge stone pillars that require several people to hug each other, whether they are natural or artificial, and they support the belly of the mountain from collapsing. There are so many stone pillars, Alan alone has passed through a dozen along the way, and as for the darkness, I don't know how many more such pillars there are. This mountainside space is like a giant stone hall, and Alan doesn't know how big the stone hall is, let alone where it leads.

Space itself is a kind of power, and in this inexplicably open mountainside, even Regers is silent, silent all the way.

Alan stopped suddenly.

In the firelight, you could see that the stone path began to redirection, and instead of following the mountain wall, it stretched out in a gentle curve towards the center of the mountain. Alan squinted, and the light of the torches in everyone's hands continued to increase, and the flames even rose to a height of a meter. Under the influence of the Fire King, the light of the torch is greatly increased, and the visual range is also increased. Several of them are all powerhouses above level 20, and a little light is enough for them to see a lot of things, not to mention the fire now. Everyone, including Allen, saw that under the firelight, a stone path stretched out from between the root pillars. In the distance, the stone path joins an imposing stone bridge that extends into the darkness in the distance. Alan threw the torch hard, and the torch spun to form a ball of fire.

The light of the fire cut through the darkness and illuminated a corner of the mountain's belly. You can see that there are other stone paths between the stone pillars, and these stone paths, no matter where they originate, all extend to the magnificent stone bridge in the middle, which is simply a transportation network that exists in the belly of the mountain!

The torch eventually hit a stone pillar and bounced off again. The fire kept going away, and finally it died out.

Alan turned around and exchanged glances with Regess, and said, "We seem to have come to a terrible place. ”

They were back in the cave, and by this time the group had almost rested, and the wounded soldiers had regained their brightness after they had eaten and drunk. Especially knowing that they don't have to be trapped in a cave, these men have a fighting spirit in their eyes. They are not afraid of strong opponents, and they are not afraid of the hardships of the journey. But if you know that you want to be trapped in a cave and experience the feeling of dying slowly, it is better to live than to die. Now that new hope is in sight, the soldiers naturally rekindle their fighting spirit.

Under Fares's arrangement, ten Mountain King warriors and five inch fire shooters formed an exploration team and followed Alan at the front of the team

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Their mission was to assist Eren in identifying and removing hazards and obstacles, followed by the seriously wounded and merchants, including several wagons, and finally Farais and the other warriors. The team left the cave and walked up the cliff road, which had no guardrails on the other side, but the road was wide enough for two carriages to run side by side, so there was no need to worry about falling unless the road collapsed.

Dozens of torches were lit in the team, and the flames looked like a fire dragon from a distance, passing through this space that had been silent for I don't know how many years. As they walked through the bend, they saw a stone bridge in the middle of the mountain. The stone bridge is carved out of the mountain, the deck is dozens of meters wide, the rock under the bridge is steep, and there are holes in the bridge, and you can hear the sound of flowing water in the dark.

Walking onto the stone bridge, Ian trembled and fell to the ground. He walked with Allen, who didn't stop him, and Allen could understand the shock in the old man's heart at the moment. Even he was thrilled by the space in the belly of the mountain and the stone bridge, not to mention that Ian, who grew up in Frostwind City, would be able to witness the underground miracles that his ancestors had seen when he stepped into the great underground tunnel that might appear, how could Ian be calm?

In the end, it was Alan who helped him up, and Ian mounted his lean horse, his eyes moistened, and said to Alan, "I never thought that I would be able to get here one day, and this is how long it will be, Lord Allen." If I can get out, I can proudly tell the world that what our ancestors said is true, and that there is indeed a great underground tunnel! ”

Alan smiled and didn't answer, he took the lead. The stone bridge stretched for several hours, and it was probably evening now. At this time, something else appeared in front of the stone bridge. It was an arch, a huge arch carved out directly in the mountain, nearly 100 meters high, the same width as the bridge deck, and perfectly integrated with the stone bridge. The arch is hollow, and the totemic stone pillars on both sides of the door, but these two stone pillars seem to be carved out of the mountain like the door, and the upper and lower ends of the stone pillars are integrated with the mountain wall.

You can see that there are two braziers in front of the arch, and when Alan throws the torch into one of them, there is only the light of the torch. Gradually, the fire lit up, and after a few seconds, a puff of flames sprang up, sparks flew everywhere, and the brazier was blazing, and the ointment that had been preserved by the secret method in it could still work. Alan did the same, and after the two stoves were lit, the arch stone bridge was illuminated within a hundred meters.

The team rested at the edge of the massive archway, and as Alan stood by it, he could feel the dampness of the wind blowing through the door. I could vaguely see a faint blue light in the darkness inside the door, and I didn't know what it was emitting. Lola walked up to Alan's side, sniffled and whispered, "We're not alone here, I can feel something in the dark." It's best for us to pass through here quietly, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Alan nodded, "Didn't Ian say that their ancestors found cavemen in this big tunnel, and I guess those things shouldn't be hospitable hosts." ”

Lola smiled and said, "If you still joke at this time, then I'll be relieved." ”

Alan shook her hand.

Ten minutes later, the team continued to set off. Passing through the archway, under the firelight was a square with a statue about 100 meters high erected in the middle of the square. I don't know

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) deliberately, or under the erosion of the years, the head of the statue is missing, but it can be seen that this is a woman, or a goddess. The foundation stone of the statue is carved with roses, as if it has some kind of symbolic meaning.

Bypassing the statue and passing through the square, you can see a gentle slope climbing upward, and after walking up the gentle slope, a city comes into view. It is a city carved out of the mountain, and the buildings of the city are distributed in a long and narrow shape, with high and low buildings stretching into the dark depths, and you can see the void beyond the edges of the two ends of the city. There was a faint blue light under the void in the belly of the mountain, so even without the help of fire, Allen's few powerhouses could take advantage of those underground blue lights to see the whole city.

Urban buildings are undulating according to the terrain, and there is often a drop of ten meters to tens of meters between the two building complexes, and the mountain platform where the building complex is located seems to be artificially flattened, after all, there can be no such regular platform landform in nature. The platforms are connected to each other by arch bridges or curves, and each platform is a block, and the city does not know how many blocks it is made of!

Due to its location in the mountains, there is no suspense that the city's architecture is basically made of stone. The long, processed stone piles up simple and simple houses, but under the erosion of time, most of the buildings have collapsed, and we can only imagine the glory of the city from the ruins and broken walls. Walking through the streets of the city, you can also see aqueducts on both sides of the streets, deep wells every ten meters or so, and statues or trees dotted between the houses. But now the aqueducts have long since dried up, the wells have been obscured by artemisia grass, statues have become broken stones, and trees have died for thousands of years.

"What the hell is going on here?" Alan sighed softly, naturally no one could answer this question.

Edward next to him said in a deep voice, "It's very wrong. ”

"How?"

"Not to mention how time-consuming and labor-intensive it would be to hollow out the mountain in the belly of the mountain to build the city and the stone bridge beyond, and the complex transportation network that clearly leads to other places. The strangest thing I don't know if you have noticed is that this city, just the civilization of the architecture and layout shows, I don't know how much more than the current Balgaon Empire is. I bet that the imperial capital is only afraid of that, and even a little worse. So here's the problem, the ancestors of Frostwind City were also hundreds of years ago in terms of time. And when they found the city, it was clear that it was already what it was, in other words, we were in an ancient ruin. It could have been thousands of years ago, or even more so far. ”

"Then, a city of this size could be built in such a distant time, and the people living in this city are not simple."

"You should also know that the ancestors of Adahua have come to this planet. If it were them, it would not be surprising that a city of this size could be built. You haven't been to the City of Gold, but I think the architecture here is somewhat similar to the Sky City of Idava. Alan frowned: "It's just that I haven't heard that the Adahuas have a penchant for building cities underground......"

"Who knows? Perhaps, they want to try something new? Edward's joke was still cold.

P: Let's start with two daily updates ~~
