Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - Altar of Caution Chapter 89: Geological Disasters
Diagonal claw ridges, wild forests, mountain roads
Yue Guanchao walked for about half a moment according to the prior mark, and finally joined up with Utuman.
"Here, equip all the guns."
He was about to distribute the spears to everyone, but Song Siyuan saw that he had a small wound on his body, and asked curiously, "Where did you get so many guns?" ”
Yue Guanchao looked at everyone: "It was snatched from Tang Dianrong's soldiers and bandits, these bandits were all dead at that time, I thought that their guns were all new, so they didn't need to be used in vain, anyway, this bandit leader took our guns off, and it was not a loss to exchange one thing for another." ”
He paused and guessed: "I estimate, I killed so many bandits, Tang Dianrong hates us to death, once he finds us, we have to have a spear to defend ourselves." ”
"Uncle Utuman, how far are we from the waterfall?"
The old man shook his head, with a confused face: "The fog is too big, I can't tell the distance, I can only look at it, but I feel that the surroundings are getting wetter and wetter, and I guess I am close to the waterfall." ”
"Are you really sure that the treasure is near the waterfall?"
Song Siyuan has not watched "The Secret of Zu Xian", all she knows is what Yue Guanchao told her, and now that Yue Guanchao has returned, she naturally wants to ask clearly.
Yue Guanchao pondered for a moment, nodded at everyone, and said:
"I took a cursory look at the painting, the altar is so close to the waterfall that you can even see the strange totem cave in front of the waterfall."
"Then we have to leave quickly, now that the ancient scroll is in Tang Dianrong's hands, if he takes the lead, then our situation will be dangerous."
Song Siyuan's words were not unreasonable, they realized that the situation was delicate, and their pace under their feet increased significantly.
After passing through an unowned wild forest, I finally heard the sound of a waterfall like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring!
Yue Guanchao looked up and observed, their location was probably already in the depths of the Diagonal Mountain, the spacing between the peaks and peaks was constantly tightening, and then looking overhead, the hazy sky light sprinkled down the narrow cliffs, showing a glimmer of heavenly wonders.
"Sister Siyuan, why does this slanted chela mountain look so strange?"
Ah Ying didn't know the origin of this oblique chela peak, and asked Song Siyuan, who was taking pictures on the side, she stopped her busy pace and explained lightly:
"I think it's probably the slope of the mountain caused by a geological disaster!"
She pointed to the dense shrubs hidden in the mist on the mountain wall, and went on to explain:
"If you look at the plants on the mountain wall, if it is a canyon that suddenly cracks, the slope of the rock wall often has bare rock walls due to collapse or cracking, but this canyon is densely vegetated."
"I guess that the peaks on both sides of the mountain used to be independent peaks, but it seems that a disaster has happened, and they gradually merge into one peak, but at the junction of the two peaks, there are still traces of squeezing, that is, a line of sky above our heads."
"If it's an earthquake, it can indeed crack certain rock formations and let the groundwater that was originally in the mountain cavity flow out of the cracks, and that's probably how the waterfall above us was formed."
Song Siyuan said as she walked, and the wild forest had broken through in a short time, and the shrubs on the left and right gradually retreated, leaving only a layer of weeds that grew to the ankles, and the waterfall hung high in front of her.
Yue Guanchao looked far away, and the oblique twin peaks were indeed not bad with Song Siyuan's guess.
The top of the mountain cracks and cracks, the mountain cavity and the earth springs all pour and gush through the cracks, the halo produced by the water vapor is entangled with the gray mist, directly blurring the top of the mountain, the source of the waterfall is hidden in the fog from time to time, this silver-white waterfall seems to come from the clouds, and the flow rushes straight down into the sky!
"Housheng, there is no totem cave as you said, what's going on?"
Utuman wiped a handful of mist from his face, and his eyes became vigilant.
Song Siyuan thought for a moment, and her eyes flashed: "Uncle Utuman, if my guess is correct, these two mountains are huddled together because of geological disasters. ”
"The position we are standing in now should have been a mountainside in the past, and I don't think the Sushen people would have built an altar on the mountainside, the only possibility is that the altar was squeezed into the mountain after the disaster and became part of the new mountain cavity."
"We're looking for the so-called hole, probably down the mountainside."
After speaking, Song Siyuan looked at the huge canyon under the waterfall, and he took away his backpack with an idea.
"I guess that the place where we are standing used to be cracks, but it was filled with rocks and covered with soil, and it became the current mud ground, and I used the Luoyang shovel to test the soil layer."
Song Siyuan stabbed the Luoyang shovel into the soil, picked up the stone and rammed it downward, and when the shovel was pulled out, all the soil spun out of it was displayed in front of people.
She looked at the crowd and nodded:
"You see, the upper half of this Luoyang shovel is full of loess, not layered, but the bottom has become black soil mixed with gravel, which shows that my guess is right, these gravel cracked after I don't know how many years, and then it was covered by new soil, which shows what we see."
Huhu ~ Huhu Huhu ~~
As they spoke, there was a sudden sound of rustling around them, and the fog in front of them was disturbed by the wind and quickly dissipated like smoke.
Between breaths, dense vegetation has appeared around the area, and only the peak is still surrounded by clouds.
"How could this fog suddenly fade?"
Everyone was curious, but they didn't know why.
"It looks like a cliff ahead!"
After the fog dissipated, everyone was startled, they were only a few tens of meters away from the cliff, and if they continued to walk, they were likely to fall off the cliff unconsciously.
