Chapter 161: Underground Labyrinth
The highest point of the entire lava cave is more than ten meters, which is made up of tunnels, and the terrain inside the cave is very complex.
This kind of cave is formed by the large amount of magma that flows out of the volcanic eruption, and the cave is very rich in minerals, and there are some sparkling and colorful crystals on the cave walls.
They walked in one direction for a while, and after a closer look, they didn't find any special clues.
And they also found that the scale of these tunnels is too large, and if they continue to explore like this, it is extremely inefficient.
The old Lin Tou estimated that this was likely a labyrinth that they had to pass through before approaching their destination.
If this is really a labyrinth, such a blind walk is definitely not the way to go.
There are too many forks in the tunnel, and it is too complicated to go on like this, and it is likely that they will be dizzy and will never find the right path.
The visibility in the cave is not high, and it is easy to miss some passages hidden in the shadows, and the role of the positioning system is not very useful in such a layered maze.
The only way now is to find the correct path through Yang Guang's sensing ability first.
Yang Guang also thought that it was the only way, although he was not very sure, but he could only try.
He turned his sensing abilities to maximum power, trying to discern the dense passages through the dark parts of the mineral glimmer.
And Yang Guang flashed in inspiration, and at the same time recorded these pictures with a chip, just like the soul of a topper. Once the entire map has been mapped, it is time to find the correct channels that may be present.
In this way, a judgment can be formed as a whole.
Yang Guang analyzed very carefully, and finally found a coherent route in the labyrinthine network of tunnels, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that this route formed a beautiful arc.
If there is a correct path, the existence of this arc should not be accidental.
Yang Guang decided to follow this arc and try it, if this road can go all the way, it means that they have found the right route.
Through the ultra-large range sensing just now, Yang Guang had already determined that there were no lifeforms around, and there seemed to be nothing dangerous.
After Yang Guang determined the route, he began to lead the way.
He retracted his senses and prepared for a long fight.
In fact, Lao Lin Tou and Yang Guang had prepared sufficient supplies for this exploration operation, all of which were in Yang Guang's bracelet in case of emergency.
Along the way, Yang Guang's sensing power was kept on, so that through the comparison of the environment, it was possible to confirm that the route they were taking now coincided with the possible correct route he had just found.
They searched in a rough arc from east to west, but the cave seemed to have no end, and continued in a small arc.
After walking a long distance, they found that they were now slowly spiraling down this lava tunnel of unknown length, close to the huge volcanic mountain.
They also found that these tunnels, which are ancient and may have existed for hundreds of millions of years, seem to have been deliberately excavated with ancient traces, which formed such a huge ecstasy array.
The further down they went, the slope of the tunnel's descent began to increase, and they were accelerating deeper underground.
Even so, the journey still seems to have no end, and it's hard to imagine where such a long underground passage is going.
After each distance, Yang Guang had to probe again to confirm the route, and so on.
In addition, it is necessary to maintain the induction power along the way, which is a very severe test for Yang Guang's spiritual value.
Yang Guang, whose mental value had dropped significantly, felt that he was starting to get a little tired, and although there was no problem at all in terms of physical strength, he felt that his eyelids were a little heavy.
It was now generally certain that they had chosen the right route, otherwise it would not have been so smooth all the time.
But this can be a misleading route, and if that's the case, then the effort will be in vain.
After most of the day of exploration, the unchanged environment finally changed.
They began to see white water vapor floating up from the depths of the tunnel, indicating that there was water underneath.
Soon they were all in a steam-filled environment.
Such an environment is very similar to being in a very thick fog, where the steam falls on their masks and solidifies into a liquid, which greatly affects their vision, but fortunately, Yang Guang did not find any signs of life, otherwise it would be very inconvenient to move.
This steam-filled tunnel was not very far, and when they came out, they suddenly entered a very strange space.
Yang Guang was deeply shocked by the situation in front of himβan incomparably wide underground cavern, and below it was an endless lake.
Of course, the reason why you can't see the edge can also be because of the white steam that fills the air.
The previous steam was evaporated from this lake, which affected their observation of the environment in the lake, and they could only vaguely see that there seemed to be something in the middle of the lake.
But the light was too dark and the visibility was too low. Yang Guang looked carefully with the scope, and could only roughly guess that this might be an island in the middle of the lake.
And the old forest man just glanced at it casually, and immediately told them that the middle of the lake was the place they were looking for.
However, Lao Lin Tou also said that he couldn't be in a hurry now, this lake was not very simple, and he had to wait for support.
They have seen that this is a saltwater lake, and the temperature of the lake is very high, and the eggs may be cooked after a long time in it.
But in the lake with such a high temperature, Yang Guang has sensed many signs of life, including the size of some unknown objects, which is creepy just to describe.
After Yang Guang told everyone about the situation, Lao Lin Tou decided to stay away from the lake first, and wait for Liao Ge to send people and equipment over before starting the operation.
Anyway, the thing has been found, and I am not afraid of where it flies.
Yang Guang sent the route and relevant information to Liao Ge through a high-privilege communication channel.
I don't know what principle the communication technology of this chip is based on, and in such an underground environment, it is not affected at all.
Yang Guang had only heard from his master that this was a very space communication technology, but he couldn't tell the specific principle.
Liao Ge quickly replied, saying that they were asked to wait for Jiao Hong and his team to arrive before acting.
Li Ruolin looked at the extremely wide lake and asked, "You say that this lake is connected to the sea, or why is the lake salty?"
Lao Lin Tou said with certainty: "Of course it is connected, the monster that attacked your camp from the sea yesterday should have gone out from here." β
"Tut-tut......"
Thinking of yesterday's scene and thinking of that kind of thing in the lake, the team members couldn't help but be stunned.
Yang Guang thought of the big ones he had just detected, and thought to himself that those sea monsters yesterday were really nothing compared to these things.
