Chapter 57: The Pit
I don't know why Jiang Rou said this, does she still know something I don't know?
I hurriedly asked, "How do you know that this trip will come to a conclusion?" Can you not predict the prophet? â
Jiang Rou smiled and said: "When the werewolf and your hunter meet, there will always be a little spark, and no one here is a chance encounter, I think there is a purpose for coming here." â
The fat brother also remembered the one-horned at this time, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know what happened to the one-horned brother, he is a black dragon and a werewolf, can he handle it?" Not to mention, I still like him a lot, and I want to learn more tricks from him. â
I comforted the fat brother: "It's okay, the werewolf seems to be helping, and he won't do anything to him, I guess he is in a hurry to find us now, and he lost his dearest Red Sister." â
At this point, Surina rushed up and grabbed my arm, presumably my words provoked her, and she was going to chase me.
I quickly dodged Surina's attack and quickly took two large steps back.
I felt my body light, my feet slipped, and suddenly, my whole body fell down, at first I suspected that I was overtired, and I was dizzy, but after only a second, I was covered in cold sweat.
I was hanging in mid-air, with a bottomless abyss under my feet, if Yan Qiu hadn't been holding my arm before, I would have been shattered by now.
Now I understand that I just turned around and talked to everyone, without looking at the road ahead, our pipeline has reached the end, and the end is an incomparably huge abyss, just now Su Rina was afraid that I would fall, and came up to stop me from continuing to walk, but I didn't expect that I misunderstood what she meant, and fell down.
Without delay, the crowd pulled me back into the pipe.
I only glanced back, and I was already weak, slumped in the pipes, and cold sweat oozed out of my skin.
After gasping for a while, I complained to Yan Qiu: "Didn't you say that this is a sewer pipe?" How can there be such a big pit? The flash floods have gone into the pits, what is the use of asking for pipes? â
Yan Qiu said, "Didn't there be two forks in the road just now? I guess those are the pipe lines that bypass this big pit, and I don't know why this pipe leads to this pit? It doesn't seem to make sense. â
After steadying my mind, I went to the edge with everyone and looked down.
It stands to reason that this big underground pit should be nothing to see, the sun can't shine in at all, and I think it's pitch black. But when we looked at it, we realized that it was not dark here, and countless dots in it were shining with flickering blue light.
If you look closely, it turns out that there are some blue meteorites, which cover the entire pit wall from top to bottom, and they are all hidden in the stone wall, revealing part of it, making the whole pit seem to be illuminated by cold fireworks.
Those blue meteorites are not regularly distributed, and decorating this dark crater in the dark like a starry sky at night is still beautiful if it didn't almost kill me.
I turned my head and asked Jiang Li: "Could this be also a big meteorite, a crater smashed out?" â
Jiang Li shook his head and said, "How do I know this?" Can't tell. â
Yan Qiu immediately said, "No. You see, the walls of this pit are full of traces of tool excavation, layer by layer like the masterpiece of the Luoyang shovel, and those blue stones, like minerals, are embedded in the rock. Look at those. Yan Qiu said and pointed into the distance.
We followed the direction pointed by Yan Qiu, and by the blue light in the pit, we found that on the cave wall in the distance, there were many wooden shelves that had been scattered, in a spiral direction, leading to the bottom of the pit. Looking further up, there are also some remnants of wood from the zĂ i stone wall, which spread bits and pieces into a little sunlight at the top of the pit.
The fat brother asked Yan Qiu: "This wooden shelf was also built by your tomb robbers?" â
When Su Rina heard this, she immediately became anxious and shouted: "Tomb robbers? At the same time, his eyes widened and he looked at Yan Qiu.
Yan Qiu rolled his eyes at the fat brother and said, "Don't listen to this fat man's nonsense, I'm not a tomb robber." The marks on the wall look like they were dug by a Luoyang shovel, and I didn't say so. If you look at the shelves, they are all artificially built, and with the traces of man-made excavation, I judge that this is a large mine, and what they excavate is probably that kind of blue ore. â
Previously, under Jiang Li's explanation, we have confirmed that this blue meteorite is a flying stone from outside the sky, how can the earth also produce this kind of ore? The ancients collected this ore, probably not only to suppress the ancient salmon, right? That's too much work.
Although I pondered in my heart, I didn't ask Jiang Li, this kind of thing is still best known only to the four of us, Jiang Li's family affairs and legends, I don't want to reveal too much to Su Rina and Yan Qiu.
Although Yan Qiu already knew about our experience in the crater, it was better not to talk about the specific reasons inside, and she couldn't fully share the information with her yet. Not to mention Su Rina, it doesn't matter to her if she knows, maybe if any of them violates her royal law, we won't be able to play happily.
I pondered it briefly and said to the people, "Go, turn back, look for the way, and look at the top of the pit." â
So we turned around and entered the nearest fork in the pipe.
Further in, the uphill climb is especially obvious, we almost use all fours to ensure that we do not get slived, and no one is in the mood to talk along the way, and all our energy is focused on the road under our feet.
After the last stretch of almost vertical pipe, we finally climbed out and saw the light of day.
The place that came out was a shallow pit near the top of the mountain, which was supposed to be used to collect rainwater and then direct the water to flow into the pipes, which was a large drainage system, as Yan Qiu analyzed.
Climbing the pipe can exhaust everyone, and everyone finds a clean place to sit down and rest.
The fat brother begged Jiang Rou with a hippie smile: "Sister, let's get some food supplements?" Everyone must be hungry. â
Jiang Rou was just about to touch the charm out of the bag, but I stopped her, although I was also hungry, but after all, Jiang Rou consumed too much today, we were all so tired that we couldn't breathe, how could we be embarrassed to let a little sister work hard to eat?
I decided to try to find it myself first, to see if there were any wild mountain fruits or anything like that, to make everyone hungry, and then to give her the heavy responsibility when Jiang Rou was fully recovered.
I stood up and said to everyone, "You wait, I'll get you something to eat, it's hard to do this?" I'm a thunderbolt. After saying that, I laughed myself, I don't know where the words popped up, but they were quite appropriate.
Standing at the top of the hill with an unobstructed view, the downhill behind us is the long-awaited seven-story floating pagoda, which we have crossed in the pipeline to the top of the mountain behind it. Further on, there are cliffs, and there is no road for people to walk, and even if you go down, there is the next mountain, and it is far and endless.
I stood on the edge of the cliff and tentatively stretched out my head to look down, and heard that some good things such as Ganoderma lucidum and sacred grass grow on the high mountain cliffs.
As a result, when I looked down, I gasped, I thought that what I saw was an abyss, flowers and trees on the cliffs, and then the foot of the mountain with no end in sight, but I didn't expect a hanging building to block my view.
Just below the top of the mountain, less than ten meters away, hangs a large plate made of thick branches.
No matter how you look at it, it must be a bird's nest, but according to the scale of this nest, if it is a platform, it is no problem to squeeze and park two helicopters, and it is said that there are giant eagles in places where people can't reach, but such a big eagle, I can't even dream of it.
I'm calling everyone to come and see.
Originally, everyone was a little impatient to be disturbed by me to rest, but when they witnessed the giant nest with their own eyes, no one shouted that they were tired, and they were all in abnormal spirits.
The fat brother scolded: "Bah, what kind of place is this?" Are we being shrunk? Or is everything here gigantism? The bird's nest is so big, won't we become worms when the bird comes back? â
Jiang Li is obviously not on the same channel as the fat brother, she is more observant, and after watching it for a while, she said to us: "Look at the nest, there seems to be a scale, and some white powder, what is that?" â
I thought for a moment and said, "The scales may be the scales of a giant salmon, right?" White powder is not known. â
"What? The scales of the salmon? You're saying that this bird can eat that kind of big fish? It's going to be a real life. The fat brother continued to complain.
Su Rina pointed to the white powder and said: "Those may be calcium, the result of the weathering of the eggshells after the hatching of the birds, don't be afraid, it seems that this nest has not been used for a long time, and the cracks of the nest are full of soil." â
I asked Su Meizi: "The bird's nest is in the open air, and it is normal to have soil, how can you say that it has not been used for a long time?" â
"There is no soil on the surface, it is blown by the wind, and there is no soil in the crevices, because the birds are always moving here, and the soil has been shaken down, and if there is soil in the crevices, it means that the birds have not fallen for a long time," Surina explained. â
