"So, you mean we're already like this anyway, so why don't we do the opposite and go find the person who is hiding in the shadows?"

This may be the tacit relief between me and Li Dabao.

His answer was exactly what I was trying to say.

"Or maybe it's not a person at all!"

"At least not a normal 'person'!"

Li Dabao shook his head: "I don't understand what you mean, but even if we go to find him, how should we find him at this time?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Originally, we must have been looking for him, and I didn't have a clue at all." ”

"But just now Boss Wang said something and mentioned a place, there is a Dan furnace in the stone room, which means that there is a place where you can make alchemy."

"Although we can't find that stone room, do you think, what did you need first to do alchemy in ancient times?"

Li Dabao said: "Isn't this nonsense, of course it needs fire, and it's not ordinary firewood, it must be ......."

"I'm ...... Chen Dashao, it's really special to have you, you can think of it. ”

I nodded slightly at Li Dabao and said that it was exactly the case.

Anyway, we can't be sure where the real entrance is.

But one thing is for sure, either in the surrounding mountains or somewhere beneath our feet.

And the underground ruins of the entire desert cannot be infinitely large, which is also difficult to support in physics.

The first is the unexpectedly endless black desert above our heads, which is actually a natural layer of quicksand.

The structure of any tomb, no matter how elaborate it may be designed, cannot be without a limit.

When a place is designed underground, whether it is a man-made burial structure, a naturally occurring cave, etc.

In fact, there is a limit to the area of force on it.

Perhaps this limit is a figure we can't imagine for the top of the tomb.

But I don't think a part of the desert in Tagramakan is something that a small mountain can resist.

Not to mention that there are many artificially created hollow environments here.

Once something is completely broken, for example, we now find a place where we can touch the top floor and blow it up with a large number of detonators.

Then it will definitely cause a chain reaction, burying this place, even a place that we don't know.

Of course!

If that's the case, we won't be able to survive either.

Thinking of this, I admire from the bottom of my heart that the Taoist in Tsing Yi can actually make use of the natural conditions in such a situation.

I don't even believe it when it says it's not a tomb robber.

Because only tomb robbers think so much, even super feng shui masters like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng can't plan all the details carefully.

There are some things that can only be accomplished after the experience accumulated after going to the grave in person, and after all kinds of tombs, in order to accomplish this great feat with almost no blemish.

When Li Dabao and I came out of the stone henge, we didn't meet Ah Zheng in Boss Wang's mouth.

After all, even if Ah Zheng is alive now, he only has one arm and one leg left.

What kind of waves can he set off?

There is a high probability that Boss Wang used it to call us.

In fact, in addition to finding the underground fire vein, there seems to be another way to find the real entrance to the tomb.

That's to follow those strange black crows.

Not to mention that those black crows are very annoying, and even if they were willing to let me follow, we would probably not be able to keep up with them.

Not to mention, those black crows will attack us one after another whenever they touch a sound, or a living person.

So that's simply not possible.

We returned to where we had fallen, and then began to climb up with the rope we had and finally descended from the other side of the mountain.

It's easy to find the underground fire vein, but it's a little more complicated to find.

This requires careful observation with the naked eye.

Because there is an alchemy furnace, then there must be fire.

And how earth fire is created.

Naturally, there is an active volcano in the depths of this place, which of course is probably dead now.

And that would explain why the desert above us is black.

Li Dabao and I walked around the entire mountain range for most of the time, and the cave was drilled, but we didn't find any clues related to the underground fire veins.

Even the black crows, the human-faced black snakes, the blue-striped squid, and the so-called people didn't see half of it.

In the end, Li Dabao sat down on a rock even more tired and said: "On the ninth day, I feel that we can't find it like a headless fly. ”

"First of all, we really don't have much fresh water, and secondly, secondly, I'm really tired."

"You let me rest for a while......

Actually, I was also very tired, and my mouth was so dry that I didn't want to say a word.

My body has long been dry and wet because of the stuffy environment here......

Wrong!

It occurred to me that we seemed to be closer to the underground veins of fire.

When I told Li Dabao about this.

Li Dabao was drinking water, and replied while drinking: "I have already noticed what you said, the sultry heat around is far greater than that of the Rockhenge. ”

"But what can this be, you see, there is such a big area in front of us, this black mountain range extends in all directions, let's find the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Monkey."

"Taking a step back, even if we finally found the tomb, the contents were already cleaned by those dogs, and there won't even be a single hair left for us."

After Li Dabao drank the water, he handed me the kettle in his hand.

"You take off your gas mask, it's so hot here, you don't need this thing anymore."

When I took off my gas mask, I felt that although the air around me was very unpleasant, it did not smell like that.

There is indeed not much water in the kettle handed to me by Li Dabao, and even the water in it is warm.

I took two small sips, then put away the kettle and said, "Even if I don't find it, I feel like we're almost there." ”

"Do you smell a smell of sulfur?"

Hearing me say this, Li Dabao sniffed around in the air, then shook his head to say no.

I picked up a small stone from the ground and put it on the tip of my nose and smelled it, and there was indeed a hint of sulfur, but it was not strong.

I stretched out my hand and pointed to a black cave on the mountainside and said, "Let's go up and rest for a while, and then take safety measures, and you can see ...... when you see the sky!" ”

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about, Cheng No, anyway, Bao Ye, I don't want to move at all......"

When we came to this cave, we found that there were a lot of scattered items inside.

Among them are fragments of clay pots, as well as some bronze vessels, but most of them are in broken shape.

In addition to this, there is some rubble, and the end of the cave is completely blocked.

We've been in two or three caves like that.

After a brief inspection, I pulled out my flare and prepared to shoot it into the air.

Li Dabao sat on the ground, leaned against the wall and muttered, "Nine days, I think, it's so quiet here, it's better to sleep first." ”

"When you wake up, you have the strength to work, what do you say?"

I turned my head to look at Li Dabao and said, "If you want to sleep, you can squint for a while, and I can still hold on for a while." ”

With that, I pulled the firing gun.

"Biu, whoosh ......"

The lighting egg flew directly into the air and exploded, and the surrounding area was directly covered with white and bright.

Because the cave we are in is relatively high, so many things can be seen very realistically.

At one o'clock below our feet, there was a small stream, although there was no water in it.

But the green species on both sides were mixed with large patches of dark yellow, and I immediately knew that it was the underground fire vein we were looking for.

Not only that, but I saw a corpse lying near the stream that had long since dried up.

Although it was far away, I was able to learn the identity of the man through the mutilated corpse on it.

"Ah Zheng ......!"
