Chapter 422: Yellow Sand Fountain
After putting the blood-colored diamond into the groove at the tip of the pyramid at the top of the stone pillar, Chen Ziyang subconsciously took two steps back, his eyes rolled left and right in his sockets, and carefully observed the stone pillar in front of him, waiting for the change of the diamond, but nothing happened.
Raising his head, Chen Ziyang saw people lying in a circle on the top of this deep well. From his vantage point, only the heads of the men could be seen, round heads one after the other, staring at him from above the deep well. Yang Lei tightly grasped the rope connected to Chen Ziyang with his hand, so that if something happened, he could pull him out in time.
After waiting quietly for more than ten seconds, Chen Ziyang found that nothing happened after the diamond came into contact with the stone pillar, so he thought that it was probably the wrong way to place the diamond, but then Chen Ziyang thought: "No, when the diamond was placed in the groove just now, the feeling from the hand can be clearly felt, the corner of the diamond is completely consistent with the shape of the groove, but why is there no reaction?" ”
Just as Chen Ziyang took two steps forward and was about to pick up the diamond to study it again, he suddenly saw a faint red light emanating from the diamond.
This red light was very faint, if it weren't for the darkness under this deep well, it was very likely that Chen Ziyang would not have noticed it at all, and he couldn't imagine that the diamond that could emit a strong light before would be so low-key this time.
It may also be because the light emitted by the diamond this time is not too strong, so Chen Ziyang naturally felt that the reaction of the diamond this time would not be too big, so after seeing the red light emitted by the diamond, Chen Ziyang did not let the person above the deep well pull him up, but walked to the side of the diamond and stared at it carefully.
The people above the well didn't know that the diamond had changed, and they were still lying there staring down. And Chen Ziyang didn't say anything to remind them, after all, he felt that the diamond only emitted a faint light, and there should be no big threat.
Then the red light from the diamond became slightly brighter, but the process of increasing the light was very slow, even if the red light became stronger, the red light emitted from the diamond did not become stronger, and then the light emitted by the diamond dimmed again. In this way, the red light emitted from the diamond flickered on and off for a moment.
When the light becomes stronger again, the diamond no longer sparkles, but retains its highest brilliance for a while. Chen Ziyang suddenly saw that the red light on the top of the diamond had faded, and the tip of the entire diamond had returned to the white color when he had just gotten the diamond.
At the junction of red and white diamonds, there is a clear dividing line, this dividing line slowly moves downward, the part of the diamond that becomes white is getting bigger and bigger, and now a small part of the whole diamond has completely turned white, and most of the bottom is still blood red.
As the dividing line between red and white slowly moved downward, Chen Ziyang saw that at the place where the diamond and the stone pillar intersected, the top notch of the stone pillar turned red, and these reds slowly flowed down the grooves of the notches on the stone pillar.
The diamond was originally white, and the reason why it turned red was because the diamond absorbed the blood in Chen Ziyang's left arm. At this time, the scene in front of him made Chen Ziyang feel as if this diamond was injecting the blood it absorbed into this stone pillar.
Over time, more and more parts of the diamond have turned white, and the notches on the upper part of the pillar have all turned red, and these reds continue to extend down the grooves.
After some time, the diamond had completely lost its blood-red color and turned into a white diamond, and by this time all the grooved notches on the pillar had turned red. It was as if Chen Ziyang's blood had been completely injected into this stone pillar.
Then the blood injected into the stone pillar continued to flow downward, and Chen Ziyang saw that the mark on the junction between the disc under his feet and the stone pillar had also turned red. But because the stone plate is covered with more sand, he can't completely see the changes in the stone plate.
But judging from the changes in the inscriptions on the stone pillars before, Chen Ziyang estimated that the blood had now flowed to the position of the stone plate, and it should continue to flow downward.
After waiting for such a long time, the people above the deep well didn't know what was going on below, they only saw Chen Ziyang staring down and looking down, standing there motionless, so the people above were a little anxious.
"Eryang, what's the situation? What's next? You're going to give us a letter, huh? Yang Lei above the deep well had been holding on to the rope that tied Chen Ziyang hard, and now the strength in his hands was about to run out. After all, there was only Chen Ziyang alone under the deep well, and Yang Lei didn't want him to have anything, so Yang Lei used all his strength to hold on to this rope.
After waving his hand to the people above the deep well, Chen Ziyang was still carefully observing the changes in the stone pillar and the stone plate, and now the grooves on the entire stone pillar have been restored to their previous appearance, and it seems that all his blood has been injected into the stone plate.
Chen Ziyang saw that the marks had turned red where there was no sand on the stone plate, and then the red slowly faded downward, until there was no bare cut on the entire circular stone plate, Chen Ziyang knew that all the blood should have flowed down the stone plate into the ground.
Although there are still no major changes in the deep well, Chen Ziyang knows that his method of opening the treasure should be right, and these nicks on the entire stone pillar and the disc below should have played a role in injecting the essence blood absorbed by the diamond into the ground, but he doesn't know what will happen after these blood enter the ground.
The people above the deep well were waiting a little impatiently, and only Instructor Liu was not in an impatient mood, because he judged from Chen Ziyang's movements that Chen Ziyang should be very focused on one thing now.
Holding his breath carefully, Instructor Liu stared at Chen Ziyang under the deep well motionlessly, because he knew that after such a long time, Chen Ziyang had not given up, which meant that he had already got a clue, and it was likely that the treasure of this ancient country was about to be opened.
After all the blood on the stone plate had faded, Chen Ziyang waited for a while, but he still didn't notice anything strange around him. Just as Chen Ziyang raised his head and was about to tell Instructor Liu what had just happened, he suddenly felt the entire stone plate shake violently.
This time the shaking came very suddenly, and at the same time it was very violent, the sudden shaking made Chen Ziyang almost not stand, he hurriedly held the stone pillar with his hand to barely stabilize his figure.
Although the people lying on the top of the deep well were lying on the thick sand, they also felt the shaking this time. Chen Ziyang raised his head and looked up, only then did he realize that the shaking just now had shaken out many cracks in the side walls of the entire deep well, and it seemed that the solidified sand squeezed together by the diamonds should not last long.
This discovery scared Chen Ziyang out of a cold sweat at that time, the vibration just now caused so many cracks appeared in the side wall of the entire deep well, if there was another such shaking, it was very likely that this deep well would collapse. At that time, he will be buried under the yellow sand dozens of meters deep. And the person lying on the top of the deep well didn't notice this at all because of the angle.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly shook the flashlight at it, and shouted loudly to them: "The side wall of this deep well has cracked, and the shaking just now is too violent, hurry up and pull me up." ”
Yang Lei, who was lying on the top of the deep well, felt very strange, although there was a slight shaking just now, but it should not scare Chen Ziyang like this. How did he know that the shaking experienced by the person lying on the top of the deep well was only felt after being isolated by dozens of meters of yellow sand, and only Chen Ziyang, who was below the deep well, really knew how violent the shaking was just now.
Although he felt that Chen Ziyang was making a fuss in his heart, but after hearing Chen Ziyang's request, Yang Lei hurriedly beckoned the others to move, preparing to pull Chen Ziyang out of the deep well. But at this moment, suddenly, a fierce wind blew out of the deep well.
The wind swept a large amount of fine sand, and suddenly gushed out of the deep well, and this fine sand instantly sprayed into the mouths and noses of the people around the deep well. At that time, many people were blinded by the wind and sand. It was precisely because of this sudden gust of wind that Yang Lei and a few people delayed pulling out Chen Ziyang.
After Chen Ziyang, who was below the deep well, had just finished saying that sentence to the people above, he suddenly saw a red light in the corner of his eye, and Chen Ziyang, who lowered his head, found that he didn't know when, the entire stone pillar and all the notches on the stone plate under his feet actually emitted red light at the same time. Chen Ziyang, who saw this scene, didn't have time to figure out what was going on, when suddenly he saw a gust of wind blowing from the edge of the stone plate.
The wind blowing from the edge of the stone plate was very violent, and at the same time, the wind speed was also very fast, accompanied by a violent wind, the wind was like a knife, instantly separating the entire circular stone plate from the surrounding sand.
Because of the strong wind, a clear circular dividing line appeared at the junction of the stone plate and the sand, and as the wind blew out, this dividing line became wider and wider, and the disk became more and more separated from the surrounding sand.
As the gap between the disc and the sand widened, the wind blowing from the gap became stronger and stronger, blowing all the sand and dust in the deep well upwards. Chen Ziyang looked up and saw that the small piece of sky that could be seen from the bottom of the deep well had been completely blocked by sand and dust, and at this time, the entire bottom of the deep well was pitch black, and the only light that could be seen was the light from his flashlight.
At this moment, Chen Ziyang was a little anxious, he didn't know if he was in danger here. So he shouted to the top of the deep well with his throat at the top of the deep well, hoping that Yang Lei and the others could speed up the movements of their hands, so that they could quickly pull themselves out.
Although Chen Ziyang was shouting with all his strength, his voice was really insignificant compared to the wind around him, and Chen Ziyang's shouting was instantly swallowed up in the sound of the wind.
At this time, above the deep well, all the people saw this gust of wind mixed with a large amount of yellow sand gushing out of the deep well, and a large amount of yellow sand was blown into the air, as if the entire deep well had become a huge fountain, but from this fountain it was not water, but a large amount of yellow sand.
After a few seconds, the fountain had rushed to a height of several tens of meters above the ground, and the height continued to increase, and the thickness of the fountain was also rapidly increasing. What was originally a deep well with a diameter of five meters has now been expanded to more than six meters in diameter.
The bracket built at the wellhead before is not much larger than the diameter of the deep well, with the increase of the area of the wellhead of the deep well, these brackets have been supported on the edge of the deep well, and the bracket built above the wellhead has been slightly shaking under the blowing of the wind.
Yang Lei, who had just finished rubbing his eyes and opened his eyes with pain, was so anxious that he stomped his feet when he saw this scene, if it continued like this, this scaffold would collapse, and Chen Ziyang would really not be able to get out at that time.
He hurriedly ran forward two steps, trying to grab the support built at the wellhead and prevent it from collapsing, but Yang Lei, who had just run to the edge of the wellhead, suddenly felt a softness under his feet.
Just when Yang Lei just ran to the wellhead, the area of the wellhead expanded again, and the sand under Yang Lei's feet standing at the edge of the wellhead had collapsed, and then a gust of wind blew from under his feet, and this gust of wind blew Yang Lei's entire body up.
Fortunately, Yang Lei reacted quickly, and when he felt the softness under his feet, he hurriedly leaned back, so that he was not blown into the air by this gust of wind, but even so, Yang Lei was still blown a few meters off the ground, and then fell heavily to the side.
fell to the ground with Yang Lei, as well as the bracket that was originally built at the wellhead. The bracket made of three steel pipes was now in tatters, and the three steel pipes were separated from each other, all blown high and left aside.
"Eryang!" Yang Lei shouted heartbreakingly, he didn't think that Chen Ziyang, who was in the center of this fountain, would be safe and sound, and Yang Lei, whose eyes instantly turned blood-red, hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the deep well, wanting to see if there was any way to save Chen Ziyang's life.
But Yang Lei, who had just run two steps, was grabbed by the collar by Instructor Liu. "It's too late, run!" Instructor Liu gave orders to the people around him loudly, and at the same time pulled Yang Lei hard, preventing him from making any more senseless sacrifices.
