Hearing Xiao Ren's shout, Chen Ziyang and Instructor Liu took their attention away from the jar containing the seeds, and the group hurriedly walked to Xiao Ren's vicinity, following the flashlight in his hand and looking into the distance.

At the end of the white flashlight pillar, there seemed to be something protruding from the ground, and with the shaking of Xiao Ren's flashlight, everyone saw more than one such thing. One such protruding object appeared in the field of view of several people. Just as Instructor Liu was about to advance into the depths of this ancient treasure, Chen Ziyang suddenly made a gesture to him and stopped him.

"Be careful, let's not move forward yet. I've been thinking about a question just now, and if I can't find the answer to this question, I think it's better not to move forward yet. ”

After waiting for more than ten years, Instructor Liu, who was finally about to see the results, was a little impatient, and he asked Chen Ziyang, "What is your problem?" Now that everything is in front of us, let's go forward and see if those things are the treasures of this ancient country, and if there are any problems, let's put them first, after all, this is the most important thing. ”

"Some things are overly simplistic, and I was thinking that there is something strange about where we are now. Although on the surface, this underground space is not too far from the surface, which can be seen from the slope of the slope we just walked.

But have you ever wondered what this place was just a few days ago? This place is located under the yellow sand dozens of meters deep, how much pressure is the yellow sand tens of meters high, you should know better than me, why there is no collapse here? Not even a sign of collapse?

If we don't understand this problem, if we venture forward, if we are buried inside, no matter how important the treasure of this ancient country is, it will not matter to us. ”

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, everyone lowered their heads and pondered. Because the discovery of the treasure of the ancient country was too sudden, no one except Chen Ziyang thought of this, and the fact was just like what Chen Ziyang described, just a few days ago, this place was located in the depths of the yellow sand.

If the reason why this underground space can be maintained for so long under the pressure of tens of meters of yellow sand is because of some kind of delicate balance, it is very likely that the arrival of everyone, coupled with the opening of the door to the treasure of this ancient country, will destroy this delicate balance. In case of carelessness, this balance is broken, and at that time, this underground space will completely collapse, so Chen Ziyang's concerns are not untargeted, but very insightful.

It may be difficult for other people to understand what Chen Ziyang means, but Instructor Liu, who has been in the tomb robbery industry for many years, thinks so, and he knows that what Chen Ziyang said really needs to be paid attention to.

Because the mood to explore this treasure was too urgent, Instructor Liu ignored a lot of things, and at this time, under Chen Ziyang's reminder, he reacted. After all, Chen Ziyang's attitude towards this ancient treasure is not as important as his own, so he can keep a cool head and look at the things in front of him in an objective way.

Chen Ziyang's words woke up Instructor Liu like an initiation, and he hurriedly said: "What you said is very reasonable, everyone listens, let's not speak too loudly, before we fully understand the structure of this underground space, let's not be too presumptuous, after all, a mistake is likely to make us bury our bones here." If this place really collapses, none of us will be able to escape. ”

Among the five people in the entire team, only Instructor Liu was the most concerned about the treasures of this ancient country, and now that even he said so, the others would not have an opinion. So all the people stopped in place, cautiously, not even daring to breathe, for fear that the sound of their breathing would destroy the balance of this underground space.

Seeing that several people were all so cautious, Chen Ziyang smiled and said to them: "You don't have to be like this, the sound of us just opening the door is much louder than our talking, isn't it okay here."

According to my analysis, the reason why this underground space has been able to exist under the pressure of the yellow sand tens of meters deep for so many years must have its advantages, and this balance is not something that can be broken casually, what I mean by this is just to remind you to avoid some indifferent mistakes, after all, it is always not wrong to be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years. ”

After listening to his words, the other few people breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, because of Chen Ziyang's reminder, several people were all scared and hung their hearts in their throats, but when they heard these words, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense, and they let go of their hearts.

After all, according to time calculations, if the ruins of this ancient country are really the ancient kingdom of Sumi, then this underground space has existed for at least two thousand years. What is the concept of 2,000 years? For a human being with a lifetime of only a few decades, the length of this period of time is simply impossible to measure.

But since the underground space of this ancient country can exist for 2,000 years and still stand, there must be its unique place, and this unique place must be very solid and will not collapse casually. After figuring this out, everyone invariably shone the flashlight beam in their hands at the top of this underground space.

The height of this underground space is not too high, only a few meters, and the roof of such a height is really insignificant for the flashlight that can shine more than 100 meters away, so everyone saw a strange scene.

The top of the entire underground space is covered with vine-like things, these vines are about the thickness of a human finger, all of them are black and brown, one after the other, densely covering the top of the entire underground space. Seeing this scene, everyone felt that their scalps were numb, these vine-like things were too dense, and they made people feel creepy.

"Eryang, what are these things? Could it be that the reason why this underground space has been able to survive under the pressure of the desert for so many years is because of these things? Yang Lei's question spoke everyone's mind, after all, there were too many of these vine-like things on everyone's heads.

Looking at the color of these vines that made people feel very uncomfortable, Chen Ziyang was thinking while touching his chin, he didn't pay attention to Yang Lei's question, but Yang Lei's words echoed in his heart.

There should be no mistake, if it weren't for the support of these vines, it is estimated that this underground space would have collapsed under the squeeze of yellow sand. But why are these vines so weirdly colored? Why haven't these vines rotted over the years, but still remain in their original state? Chen Ziyang didn't think about this clearly.

"Well, do these things answer the questions in your mind? Let's move forward. Instructor Liu couldn't wait to ask.

"It makes sense, but have you ever wondered why these vines haven't rotted after all these years? It's a lot of off-the-beaten-heart, and while I'd love to move forward and get things done here as soon as possible, I think it's better to be cautious.

In this way, let's divide into two groups, explore the edge of this space in the direction of the left and right, see the structure of this underground space, and wait until everything is clear before moving forward, after all, you have been waiting for so many years, and it is not too late to spend half a day and a day. ”

So at Chen Ziyang's suggestion, the five people were divided into two groups, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei in a group, and Instructor Liu in a group of three, walking towards the left and right sides of this underground space, wanting to explore the boundary here.

This underground space is not big, but it is not small, although in the center of the crowd, you can vaguely see the walls on both sides by the light of the flashlight, but there is something on the wall that all the people can't see clearly, and everyone has to divide into two ways and walk to both sides respectively.

When Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei walked to the end of the side of this space, the two of them found that not only was the top of this space covered with this strange vine, but even the side wall of this space was crawling with such black-brown vines.

The vines were all arranged horizontally, one next to the other, and in some places, several vines were squeezed together. These vines were so dense that Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei couldn't see what the walls of this underground space under the vines looked like.

Yang Lei walked to the front of the side wall and stretched out his hand, wanting to pull the vines to see what was going on. But the vines were all pressed against each other, clinging to the wall, and the gap in the middle was very small, and after a few attempts, he didn't put his finger into the gap between the vines.

"Eryang, this is really weird, these things look like plants on the surface, but if you come and touch them, the hardness of these things is the same as steel bars, you can't press them, they are too hard."

After listening to Yang Lei's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Chen Ziyang's eyes, and he hurriedly walked over, squeezing these vines climbing on the side wall of the underground space with his fingers.

Just like Yang Lei said, what kind of vine is this, it is just like a steel bar, and the hardness of the vine is beyond Chen Ziyang's imagination, and it is beyond the scope of his cognition.

These vine-like things appear to be the roots of some plants, as can be determined by the texture of the vines and the pattern of some of the raised knots on the vines. But these vines are also too hard, and the feeling that comes back from his fingers tells Chen Ziyang that the hardness of these vines is definitely not something that ordinary plants can have.

Taking out the military dagger he was carrying, Chen Ziyang used the serrations on the back of the dagger to try to scratch the surface of these vines, but no matter how hard he tried, the sharp serrations on the back of the dagger's hand were unable to cut off these vines. Under Chen Ziyang's rapid movement, the sharp serrations on the back of the dagger could only scratch a shallow mark on the surface of these vines.

Feeling the unreasonable hardness of these vines, Chen Ziyang also put his mind at ease, no wonder this underground space has existed for so long under the pressure of dozens of meters of yellow sand, it turns out that it depends on the hardness of these plants.

After understanding the solidity of this underground space, Chen Ziyang also put his mind at ease, after all, although he promised to help Instructor Liu open the treasure of this ancient country, he couldn't risk his own life, and now he saw that the solidity of this space was guaranteed, and he was relieved.

Then the two groups of people gathered together and exchanged information with each other. The walls on both sides of the entire underground space were all covered with such vines, which made everyone feel a lot more relieved, and after seeing that Chen Ziyang's worries were a little redundant, Instructor Liu couldn't wait to pull Xiao Ren forward, walking towards the protrusions on the ground in the distance.

Instructor Liu, who was running forward in a hurry, came to the front of those bulging things after a while, and after stopping there and looking at it for a long time, Instructor Liu did not take any further action. Seeing Instructor Liu's strange behavior, the others also sped up their pace and quickly stood with him.

In front of Instructor Liu at this time was an oval-shaped hemisphere made of bricks similar to loess. Five people, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what this thing is for.

This hemisphere is about two meters long, more than one meter wide, and nearly one meter high. These loess bricks are stacked neatly, and at first glance they look man-made. As far as the eye could see, there were all these oval hemispheres around several people, and these strange buildings were not far from each other, one next to the other, and I don't know how many.

"What the hell is in here? Let's open one and take a look? Yang Lei asked.

"Don't act rashly, Instructor Liu, although you and I have less contact, I know that you are well-informed, have you ever seen this kind of thing?" Chen Ziyang turned his head and asked Instructor Liu.

After shaking his head, Instructor Liu didn't say a word, just squatted there, staring at this strange building carefully.

Seeing that no one answered his question, Yang Lei felt a little bored, so he took two steps to the side, and kept shining the flashlight in front of him with the flashlight in his hand. At this time, Yang Lei, who was looking east and west, suddenly noticed that not far away, there was such an oval building that seemed to have collapsed, and something was exposed from it.

Because he remembered Chen Ziyang's warning before, Yang Lei did not act rashly, he hurriedly called everyone over, and used a flashlight to shine on that strange place for everyone to see.

The collapsed building wasn't too far away, so everyone could see that there really was something underneath the loess blocks.

Instructor Liu and Chen Ziyang walked in the front, and took the lead to come to the collapsed building, and after seeing the things inside, the two of them glanced at each other, and they all gasped.

Inside these oval-shaped hemispheres made of loess-like blocks was a dead corpse.
