The area where the three of them are currently located is a circular underground lake, wide in the east and narrow in the west, five miles long, in the center of the lake floats a black ancient ship, more than ten meters long, six feet high above the water surface, five meters wide, slender boat, no mast and no sail.

The water in the cave has a slow corroding effect on the rocks, so there is a stone platform above the water surface, and the three of them quickly left the water and climbed to the right stone platform.

"Be careful." After ascending the stone platform, Zuo Dengfeng immediately issued a warning, there are many caves on the stone walls on the left and right sides, these caves are of different sizes, there are more than ten places on the north and south sides together, the grottoes are not deep, you can clearly see that there are huge black-haired monsters lying on their stomachs in the caves.

"Amitabha, get rid of evil." Seeing this, Iron Shoes immediately wanted to do it.

"Master, slow down, they seem to be asleep." Jade Whisk hurriedly stopped the Iron Shoes.

"You sleep with your eyes open." Iron Shoes pointed at the monsters with their eyes open.

"Their eyes have long since deteriorated, and they can't see at all." Zuo Dengfeng then spoke, these black-haired monsters were like a big buffalo, but their heads were a little like wolves, their snouts were very long, and their canine teeth were staggered, but at this time they were in a state of lying on their stomachs, their limbs were curled up, their heads were close to the ground, and they did seem to be asleep, and the three of them did not wake them up when they came up from the water.

"Do you know this animal?" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the jade whisk.

"I don't know, but there is a ...... that is very similar to it recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"

"You think why they live here." Zuo Dengfeng heard this and waved his hand to interrupt Yufu's words, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" belongs to the fiction of the ignorant ancients, and cannot be used as a reference.

"This is the only way to the valley, and you can prey on those poisonous snakes." Jade Whisk looks around to the left and right, observing the terrain.

"It's possible." Zuo Dengfeng nodded, there are many fish that have migratory habits, and those poisonous snakes in the valley may also have this surname, they usually live scattered, and they will come to this valley during the breeding season, and these huge monsters are here waiting for the poisonous snakes to pass by, as for them to fall asleep after eating, it may be because of the lack of food here, they have to conserve their strength, and wait for those poisonous snakes to migrate again next year.

"You talk, old man go to the boat and have a look." Iron Shoes pointed to the wooden boat in the water.

"Don't go it alone, wait for us to go together." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand and said.

"What now?" Jade Whisk stretched out his hand and pointed at the monsters in the cave.

"Kill it." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a long time and began to move, the poisonous snakes here have been killed by him and Iron Shoes, and there will be no more poisonous snakes migrating from this next year, and these monsters will no longer get food, and they can only starve to death in disappointment.

Hearing this, Jade Whisk and Iron Shoes immediately assisted Zuo Dengfeng to make a move, killing all the monsters in the caves on the left and right, and it was much better to die in their sleep after eating their fill, than to live and face the pain.

Kill the monster in the grotto on the shore of the lake, Zuo Dengfeng shifted his gaze to the black wooden boat in the middle of the lake, this is an underground cave, there should not be a wooden boat, the wooden boat floating in the water in the dark is extremely weird, but what Zuo Dengfeng saw at this time is not weird, but hope, the appearance of this wooden boat shows that someone has been to this cave.

"I'll go take a look." After a short groan, Zuo Dengfeng swept towards the wooden boat in the lake.

Fearing that the wooden ship would rot, Zuo Dengfeng was extremely careful about its whereabouts, but he soon discovered that the planks used to build the wooden ship had not decayed due to the long period of immersion, and the hull was still extremely strong, with no deck on the ship, and no water in the cabin below.

"Empty." Zuo Dengfeng beckoned to the two.

"I'm waiting for you on the other side." Iron Shoes and the Boss swept above the wooden boat, glanced down, and did not stop.

"What age do you think this wooden ship is?" Yufu, who rushed to Zuo Dengfeng, said that according to the construction style and style of the hull, this wooden ship should be something before the Sui and Tang dynasties, because after the Sui and Tang dynasties, such a large wooden ship would cover the deck.

"These black planks may be Tieli wood, the older the Tieli wood is, the darker the color, and according to the color, this ship is at least more than a thousand years old." Jade Whisk crouched down to observe the texture of the wood.

Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, although Yufu did not determine the age of the wooden boat, he said the wood used to build the wooden boat, Tieli wood is an extremely hard wood, only grown in a few places in the south, and is generally controlled by the royal family, because their wood is hard, extremely corrosion-resistant, and is a good material for making ships, it is said that among the ships used by Zheng He to go to the West are heavy ships made of Tieli wood.

"Look what this is." Jade Whisk pointed to the connection between the bottom of the boat and the side of the ship.

Zuo Dengfeng squatted sideways when he heard this, and found that unlike the smooth connection of ordinary ships, there was a log higher than the hull at the junction between the bottom and the side of the wooden boat, and there were two logs, which crossed the hull left and right, and were about three inches away from the bottom of the boat.

"We don't have anything like that on our fishing boats on the beach." Zuo Dengfeng looked at it for a long time and shook his head slowly.

"Could it be for the people sitting on the boat to grasp and fix?" Jade Fu frowned and spoke.

"It seems too thick to catch it, and I thought that it was not for the hand, but for the purpose of stabilizing one's body while standing, with the front foot stretched out under the wood and the back foot withdrawn, so that the person on the boat could stand firmly on the boat." Zuo Dengfeng suddenly realized.

"Yes, this is an ancient warship, and soldiers can stand on the ship and attack the enemy with bows and spears." Jade Whisk nodded and said.

"Before that, the water in the cave was higher than it is now, and this warship came down the river from the east, naturally with the purpose of killing these monsters, but they did not complete the task." Zuo Dengfeng said.

"China's topography is high in the west and low in the east, and the groundwater flows eastward, so how can the water here flow backwards." Jade Whisk stood up.

"This is not an underground river, just stagnant water in a cave, and underground rivers generally don't dry up, let's go, there should be no more obstacles ahead." Zuo Dengfeng slightly borrowed his strength to sweep towards the opposite bank.

There were five adjacent caves on the opposite bank, lined up, and Zuo Dengfeng did not hesitate to choose the passage in the middle, because this was the only passage for huge wooden boats to pass through.

Thirteen and the boss opened the road ahead as usual, and the three of them followed, Zuo Dengfeng took out a map and estimated the remaining distance.

"How far away." Iron Shoes asked.

"Less than thirty miles, the warship came down from here, and it stands to reason that the road ahead should be easier to walk." Zuo Dengfeng retracted the map.

As you might expect, the passage ahead has always been wide and flat, and the ground has a lot of limestone condensed wavy textures, making it easy to walk on.

There are also a small number of frogs and reptiles in the cave, these are handled by the boss and the thirteen, the so-called danger is only relative, the three are all masters, they can be alone, and there are two earth branches to open the way, such a combination is almost rampant, in addition to the stalactites and stalagmites in some places in the cave have signs of being cut and moved, which shows that the three of them are on the right track.

After walking out of more than twenty miles in one breath, Zuo Dengfeng's mood became clearer and clearer, and after half an hour, there was a faint sound of running water in front of him.

"There's an underground river ahead." Zuo Dengfeng was slightly excited, and found the underground dark river, and the mausoleum of Bawang Ji Xuan was not far away.

The three of them quickened their pace at the same time, and after a while, the three of them walked out of the passage, in front of them was a huge space, covering an area of 100 acres, up to dozens of zhang, an underground dark river flowed out of the stone wall, leaning on the north side of the stone wall to the east, the south side of the terrain was higher, scattered with a large number of wood and stone utensils, although due to the age, the buildings and large tools here have collapsed, but it can still be seen that this is a carved stone tool to build wood ruins.

"It was from here that the artifacts used to build the mausoleum were built, and along the bank of the river to the east, the tomb of King Ba will soon be found." Zuo Dengfeng strode towards those remaining things, the humidity here is heavier, and the wooden utensils are broken when touched, but there are many stone beasts in the town tomb that have been abandoned because of carving and chiseling mistakes, and the largest stone beast may weigh tens of thousands of catties, so it can be seen that there are not a few people who participated in the construction of the mausoleum back then.

"Zuo Dengfeng, come and see." The voice of the jade whisk came from behind.

Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng turned around and walked to Yufu's side, and found that Yufu was frowning and looking at a pile of whitish snake bones on the ground, these snake bones were not completely preserved, and the bones were already scattered, Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and picked up a snake bone, and pinched it into powder with a slight force, this situation made him frown, the snake bones of this kind of poisonous snake contain a lot of calcium, and the texture is extremely hard, even if it has been dead for thousands of years, it is impossible to crisp to this extent, in addition, these snake bones in front of him are not complete snake shapes, but have been scattered, All of these are indications that the giant snake was devoured by some animal, digested and then spit out.

"Master, don't wander around, come back." When Zuo Dengfeng frowned, Yufu turned his head and shouted back to the iron shoes.

"What's wrong?" Iron Shoes turned and walked back.

"There may be an animal in here that can devour a giant snake, and it must be extremely large." Yu Fu said that the poisonous snakes in the cave were more than ten meters long, and this animal in the dark river channel could devour them, it must be much larger than them.

"What can't be digested comes out of the mouth, is this kind of surname only found by snakes." Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the jade whisk, the exit of the passage leading to the river was not blocked, but there was not a single giant snake here, it is not ruled out that the giant snakes were all killed by the two, but it is more likely that the poisonous snakes did not dare to enter the river.

"Yes." Jade Whisk nodded and said.

"That's a huge serpentine animal, it may be the poison derived from the Yin Native Ox." Zuo Dengfeng said.

"There shouldn't be a problem for the three of us to work together to deal with it." Jade Whisk nodded again.

Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, among the five elements, the native gold, and the poison derived from the earth cow is surnamed Jin, this kind of animal may be invulnerable, but it will definitely not be able to withstand the extreme low temperature and high temperature.

"Check out the area first." Zuo Dengfeng walked towards the ruins of 3,000 years ago, and many important clues could be obtained through the inspection of the ruins.

"Goo, goo." Just when the three of them were inspecting the ruins, the boss in the distance raised his two front paws and shouted at the three of them, Zuo Dengfeng was the closest to it, and when he heard the sound, he quickly flashed over, and he was stunned as far as he could see.

The iron shoes followed, and when he saw this, he also gasped, "What a big egg......
