Chapter 414: Three Feet of Ice Wall
The island that appeared in front of it was very large, and there was a tall white wall on its periphery, which was three feet high and shiny, and was made of ice-cut barriers, and the interior of the island was not as huge as Zuo Dengfeng had imagined, but a bare stretch of peaks, and there were no big trees to be seen.
"Qiu Muyu, is this the island we are looking for?" Zuo Dengfeng turned his gaze to the big head rushing from behind.
"It should be." Big Head turned his head to look back, making sure he was in a safe area.
"Is there any anomalous aura?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"There are a lot of them, the colors are very mixed, I can't be sure what they are, but I can be sure that there are no dead people infected by the virus here." Big head gasped for breath.
"Take a break." Zuo Dengfeng put down the rope, Wan Xiaotang Jia Zhen turned over and stood up, and the scarab also came, and the big head and the two male soldiers he dragged were not injured.
The previous series of thrills made everyone's hearts tremble, and after relaxing, they all sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
"How can there be a wall there?" The scarab reaches out and points north.
"Zuo Zhenren's previous speculation was correct, there was indeed a human civilization here before." The big head raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Make sure the breath inside the wall is dangerous, we can't stay outside for long." Zuo Dengfeng said. The previous series of battles had left him with his aura nearly depleted, and he had to find a safe place to regain his aura.
"There are no animals near the fence." The big head replied.
"Go, go in, it's too cold in here." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand and motioned for Wan Xiaotang and Jia Zhen to sit down, and then grabbed the rope and dragged it again, although the three of them were extremely tired, and the situation of the other four people who did not have spiritual energy cultivation was not optimistic, the temperature here was very low, and they had to find a warm place to rest.
Seeing this, Datou and Scarab also dragged the other two soldiers to grit their teeth and run, and after a while, everyone came to the periphery of the ice wall, which was three feet high, and was stacked with ice strips of one length and shorter, and the ice bars were tightly bound together and had no gaps.
Although there is a wall here, there is no city gate, Zuo Dengfeng did not hesitate to take the two of them to sweep the wall, above the wall there is a passage for soldiers to pass, the diameter of the passage is two meters, not very wide.
Zuo Dengfeng looked around and then held the two of them and quickly swept to the northwest, there is a diagonal passage leading to the north side of the mountain outside the northwest hundred zhang, where there must be a sheltered place.
When he flew by, Zuo Dengfeng glanced back at Datou, who guessed Zuo Dengfeng's intention, glanced at the mountain on the north side, and nodded to signal safety.
Zuo climbed the peak and swept to the vicinity of the passage, and found that there was an artificially dug cave on the north side of the mountain, the cave entrance was not large, the height and width were two meters, the cave entrance was covered with a wooden door, and there were no animal footprints on the surrounding snow.
After a brief check of the surrounding situation, Zuo Dengfeng immediately took the two of them and swept down the wall to open the wooden door and entered the cave, the cave is more than ten meters deep, seven steps wide, six wooden beds are placed on the left and right, there is a stone fire pit in the middle of the cave, and a large number of bows and arrows and firewood are stacked on the north side of the cave.
After entering the cave, Zuo Dengfeng shook his shoulders and unloaded the wooden box, walked to the north side, picked up a bundle of firewood and threw it into the fire pit in the middle of the cave, urging the pure yang true qi to ignite the bonfire.
"Remove your gear and take off your wet clothes." Zuo Dengfeng shouted at the exhausted crowd, everyone was sweating profusely before, and the temperature in the Arctic region was very low, and it was easy to get frostbitten.
Hearing this, everyone quickly untied the ropes on their bodies, took off their frozen coats and walked to the fire.
"Don't get too close to the fire." At this moment, Zuo Dengfeng's heart that he had been carrying finally let go, and he walked to the outermost wooden bed and sat down.
After that, everyone didn't speak for a long time, the soldier's physical strength was extremely serious, and the aura of the people in the cultivation was almost exhausted.
After a long time, Wan Xiaotang and others began to hang the kettle to boil water, and then distributed the hot water to everyone. Everyone drank hot water and gradually came to their senses.
Soon after everyone entered the cave, the wind began to blow outside the cave, the wind gradually increased, at this time the wind was already strong outside, the face did not see things, everyone was secretly afraid when they saw this, fortunately Zuo Dengfeng found a place to stay, if he stayed outside at this time, it would not be long before he would be frozen to death.
The cave is very dry, and there are several hides on each wooden bed, which have not rotted under the protection of the low temperature, and they are here to rest without even using a sleeping bag.
"I'll sleep for a while, and you bake and dry your clothes and rest as soon as possible, don't leave within three miles." Zuo Dengfeng hugged Thirteen and lay down, he didn't close his eyes since he got off the plane, he had been in charge of guarding and warming up everyone when everyone was sleeping before, the previous anti-earthquake barrier and the fierce battles almost exhausted his aura, and he was sleepy and tired at this time, and he urgently needed to rest.
"Qiu Muyu, what time is it?" Zuo Dengfeng asked before going to sleep.
"It's three o'clock." The big head replied.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and then fell asleep quickly, still pinching the qi gathering finger when he slept.
At first, there was the murmur of people baking clothes and drinking water, but then the murmur gradually faded away, and the cave was dark and quiet.
Zuo Dengfeng was the second person to wake up, he was awakened by the sound of the big head opening the door, followed by the sound of the big head peeing outside the cave.
Zuo Dengfeng turned over and looked around the house, there were a total of six beds in the cave, and there were people lying on each bed to rest, because there were not enough beds, one of the male soldiers was sleeping in a sleeping bag.
When I went to bed last night, it was about ten o'clock in the evening, and at this time, the aura in the body had recovered seventy percent, and according to the degree of recovery of the aura, it could be roughly judged that it was about six o'clock in the morning. In fact, it is useless to judge the time, but if you don't know the specific time, you will always be confused and confused.
"It's not even six o'clock, Zuo Zhenren, let's sleep for a while." The big head pushed the door and walked in, covered in snowflakes.
"It's almost over." After Zuo Dengfeng waited for Thirteen to stretch his waist, he reached out and picked out the eye droppings from the corners of his eyes, "Yesterday was really dangerous, and I am still confused." The big head went back to the bed opposite.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, rest for a day." Zuo Dengfeng opened the wooden box, found a bottle of liquor and handed it to Datou, Datou waved his hand and didn't answer, Zuo Dengfeng unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
"I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, but I'm glad you led the team." The big head said out loud, yesterday fortunately, Zuo Dengfeng's judgment was accurate and handled properly, which brought everyone here safely.
"You all live in times of peace and have not experienced troubled times." Zuo Dengfeng poured two sips of liquor again, the liquor was very strong, but it was very warm to drink.
"Zuo Zhenren, Ji Shou." The sound of the two of them talking woke up the scarab, and the scarab took out a water cup and rushed to Zuo Dengfeng to beg for a drink, and the meaning of the head in the mouth of the Daomen was similar to that of the immeasurable Tianzun, but it was just a spoken language, which could be understood as your good or thank you.
Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the scarab, and after smiling, he poured him a glass of white wine.
"Judging by the shape of the outer wall of the island, the civilization here ended in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then it was uninhabited." Yesterday was too tired, Zuo Dengfeng had no intention of exploring the situation here, and after a night's rest, he immediately began to analyze the surrounding situation.
The big head and the scarab nodded when they heard this, but the confusion in their eyes showed that they didn't understand why he made such a judgment.
"I've seen the ancient city of the Shang and Zhou dynasties many times before, and the walls at that time were very similar to the ones outside." Zuo Dengfeng explained.
"Zuo Zhenren, look at this." The big head extended his aura, grabbed a yellow longbow from the corner of the north wall, and moved it to Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng put down the wine bottle and took the longbow and looked up and down, and found that the longbow was wooden, with a total length of three feet and three inches, which was considered a strong bow, but this bow had a big difference from other bows and arrows, that is, the bowstring was not cowhide or deer tendon, but a slender and elastic wire, the color of the wire was white and yellow, and the material was unknown.
"The metallurgical technology of the Shang and Zhou dynasties did not reach this level." Zuo Dengfeng frowned, the Shang and Zhou dynasties were the Bronze Age, and bronze belonged to a relatively primitive metal that could not be drawn.
"I also wonder if wire is only used in crossbows in recent years." The big head shook his head and said.
Zuo Dengfeng turned to look at the north side of the cave when he heard this, grabbed an arrow casually, and found that this arrow was longer than the bow after looking at it, because it was extremely cold here, there were no moths, so the arrow feathers at the tail of the arrow were still there, in addition, the arrow of this arrow was flat with ridged wings, which was the characteristic of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the arrow was no longer in this shape in the Spring and Autumn Period, but a three-edged shape, according to the shape of the arrow, the production age of this arrow should be in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but the metallurgical level of the Shang and Zhou dynasties could not pull out the ductile wire, The arrow style and the bowstring material are contradictory.
"It should be from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, maybe the residents here have mastered special metallurgical technology." Zuo Dengfeng said.
"Zuo Zhenren, the architectural style and weapons here are similar to those of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but our country is more than 10,000 miles away from here, how can the technology of the Shang and Zhou dynasties appear here?" The big head asked suspiciously.
Zuo Dengfeng frowned again when he heard this, as soon as he came here, he noticed that the style of the city wall was similar to the wall of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, and the weapons used by the inhabitants here were also similar to those of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the Central Plains, which was no coincidence.
"There are two possibilities, one is that the people here migrated during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Second, some people visited here during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Zuo Dengfeng said after a long silence.
"When the weather improves, let's go to the city here and see everything." Scarab interjected with a wine glass.
"Zuo Zhenren, there is one more thing I haven't figured out, the wall outside the island is more than nine meters high, there are only two islands here, is there still a war between the two islands?" The big head's nickname is not called for nothing, and his big head also likes to think about problems.
"I wish so." Zuo Dengfeng put down his bow and arrows and picked up the liquor again, "If these walls are defenseless, then there is nothing to be afraid of." If these walls are meant to defend against wild beasts, we have to think about why the people here are extinct......"
