Chapter 91: In the Mountains
Zhao Xiaobao was very happy when he heard that Brother Xiao was interested in his treasure cave, in fact, Zhao Xiaobao knew in his heart that some things in the cave were some incredible things, but no matter what he said to his parents, his parents only regarded him as a teenager's troublemaker, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.
That is, when the Zhao Mansion was in turmoil, he used a terrifying weapon such as a machine gun, and his father became a little interested, but after all, he still didn't take it to heart, and just instructed, "Strange and skillful skills, far less down-to-earth!"
Now, Brother Xiao, who is extremely powerful in his mind, wants to explore this magical cave, Zhao Xiaobao immediately has a feeling of finally being recognized, and without saying a word, he starts to prepare!
Not long after, under the urging of Ling Xiao, Zhao Xiaobao finally stopped his crazy preparations, just a little effort, all kinds of messy things were actually loaded with a carriage, knowing that he was going to explore, and those who didn't know thought that this guy was going to move!
However, Ling Xiao still saw something from these prepared items. Tents, horse lanterns and other living utensils are complete, indicating that the magical cave is far away from the capital of the Liang Kingdom, and it cannot be reached in at least one day.
As for the ropes and fixing utensils, it means that the cave must be in a cliff-like environment, and it must be reached with the help of these tools, I really don't know how Zhao Xiaobao discovered such a cave in the first place.
Finally, as soon as the supplies were prepared, the three of them sat comfortably on the carriage and started this adventure!
As Ling Xiao thought, under the gallop of four horses, they traveled more than 400 miles in one day, which was only one-third of the entire journey, and it seemed that they really couldn't get to the place where the cave was located in three days!
Fortunately, Liang Guonei was quite peaceful, and there were no trivial things such as robbery along the way, nothing more than Xiaoxing staying overnight, hurrying as much as possible, and finally arrived at a mountain forest three days later!
"Brother Xiao, if you go any further, it is already a place where carriages can't pass, so you can only walk!" While wiping his sweat, Zhao Xiaobao explained the next itinerary to Ling Xiao and Peach!
"Also, that cave is deep in this mountain forest, but I heard that there are demon beasts in this mountain forest, although I haven't seen it, but it's better to be careful!"
Without further ado, Zhao Xiaobao carried the rope utensils, Ling Xiao took out the dragon-shaped bow in front of him, and Peaches was responsible for breaking the back. Under the guidance of Zhao Xiaobao, the three of them gradually drifted away, and went deep into the dense mountains and forests step by step!
The dense mountain forest was far from being as quiet as it seemed, in fact, it was only three or four miles away, and Ling Xiao and his party had been attacked by two poisonous snakes, a swarm of mountain bees, and a giant mutant lizard. If it weren't for the fact that Ling Xiao and Peach were both agile, maybe there would have been wounded among the three of them.
However, along the way, Ling Xiao admired Xiao Bao more and more, you must know that Xiao Bao was only fifteen years old when he found the so-called magical cave, God knows how he explored and discovered that cave alone in this dangerous forest. It seems that Zhao Xiaobao is a good boy with perseverance and ambition in addition to not liking to inherit his father's medical skills.
In fact, among the three people, the most attentive and vigilant is Ling Xiao, he wants to protect Zhao Xiaobao, and even more so to protect Peaches, so he almost immediately found the hole in his sight.
And Zhao Xiaobao cheered even more, "Brother Xiao! It's here, it's that cave!"
The entrance to the cave is not big, but it is hidden behind the vines of the dense forest, and it is really not easy to find if it is not very close. However, as you step deeper into the cave, the space gradually expands, and when you reach the bottom of the cave, it expands to almost the size of a football field.
Although this cave has penetrated deep into the belly of the mountain, it is dry and abnormal, and the four walls are smooth, with obvious traces of human work, coupled with some scattered tools around, Ling Xiao is sure that this cave is definitely built by man, and in the depths of various raw materials piled up like a mountain, Ling Xiao was shocked to find a lathe!
You must know that since coming to the God of War Continent, Ling Xiao has gradually accepted his fate and gradually identified with this world, and he can only be regarded as the psychedelic butterfly in Zhou Gongyi's dream in his previous life.
But in this cave, he found the lathe, even people who are not familiar with history know that the Song Dynasty with relatively backward production technology, the lathe should be regarded as an extremely advanced tool, there is only one explanation, someone left this world and brought the lathe from the outside!
Excited! Uneasy! Hopeful! Doubtful! All kinds of thoughts came to Ling Xiao's heart, and it was possible to go back!
Although this hope may be very slim, it is the first time that there is hope of returning to the previous life.
After a long time, Ling Xiao calmed down his ups and downs a little, and continued to explore the cave.
The entire cave is divided into four areas, the tool area, the material area, and the finished product area are clear at a glance, there is nothing special to note, and the last area in the middle makes Ling Xiao interested.
It was an area that looked very much like an exhibition hall, with rows of bookshelves crammed into small places, but on the shelves were all kinds of strange things!
There are all kinds of machinery that appeared in the industrial revolution, such as curved ploughshares, horse lanterns, and steam engine models, but unfortunately they are all rusty and can no longer be used.
Browsing through these items, Ling Xiao began to find that these things were not placed at random, but were placed according to the trajectory of history. This shows that if there is someone who can get out, he has gone out more than once!
The excited Ling Xiao no longer cared about studying history, but began to quickly search for even the slightest possibility, in order to get a little information! Whether it was to find the person who could get out, or to find a way to get out, Ling Xiao could achieve his wish and return to the original world!
Soon, Ling Xiao's gaze locked on something, it was a small ball, about 2 or 3 cm in diameter, with 3 grooves on it, and the most important thing was that this ball was not rusty like other items, but bright as new, flashing with metallic light!
Looking at the age of other items, no one has been paying attention to them for decades, and this ball will not rust!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ling Xiao's mind, could it be the famous Clek metal ball in his previous life!
In the scope of the occult in the previous life, some scholars proposed the name of the Clark metal ball precisely because of its incorrosibility, and the time when this metal ball existed in history is also one of the topics studied by scholars.
According to the isotope dating method, the history of this Kleck metal ball is 2.8 billion years, 65 million years, tens of thousands of years, and the closest year to modern times is also 4000 years old, and they all have a common feature, that is, they are not corroded!
Ling Xiao was ecstatic when he found a metal ball in this magical cave, but Peach and Zhao Xiaobao were also very curious to lean over and study this strange ball together!
The surface of the ball exudes a faint halo, and in particular, there are three spiral grooves on the ball, which looks unusually smooth.
Groove! Groove! Ling Xiao reached out and grabbed the ball while thinking about how to solve this puzzle!
At the moment when Ling Xiao's left hand was about to touch the small ball, the God of War ring on his hand suddenly emitted a strong colorful light, and then the small ball actually emitted a similar light, but the color was only multicolored, and the light was all bound in three grooves.
The light emitted only for a moment, and an air vortex appeared above the small ball, but it emitted a dazzling golden light, and began to rotate slowly, as the vortex rotated from slow to fast, a suction force came towards Ling Xiao's body.
As soon as the suction power touched his body, Ling Xiao knew that he would definitely not be able to resist, so he hurriedly left a sentence, "Wait for me in the Zhao Mansion!" and it was already swallowed by the whirlpool!
And after the whirlpool sucked Ling Xiao away, it turned around twice, and it had already disappeared, leaving only the stunned Zhao Xiaobao and Peach! The two of them, who didn't know what was going on, had to return to the Zhao Mansion first after waiting for two days, and just privately arranged for a shrewd subordinate to wait in the cave every day, hoping that Ling Xiao would come back that day!
Besides, after Ling Xiao was swallowed by the whirlpool, his body rotated rapidly with the whirlpool, and he was already dizzy, and it felt like it had been a long time before he finally fell to the ground with a "click".
Fortunately, there was no damage on the body, but it may have turned too much, and I couldn't get up for a while, so I just lay on the ground and recovered silently!
The eyes are closed, but the other four senses are activated, there is no wind, there is the sound of water droplets, there is no sense of danger! Think about it, no matter who built this magical mechanism, it will always be in the hope that future generations will find out, and it should not be a place of death!
As soon as the feeling of vertigo weakened a little, Ling Xiao couldn't wait to open his eyes, wanting to see where he was, and he had even more hope in his heart that maybe he had returned to his previous life!
It's a pity that Ling Xiao was disappointed by what he saw, it turned out to be another cave, only fifteen or sixteen square meters, except for a golden metal tiger lying in the corner, there was nothing.
And what disappointed Ling Xiao the most was that this cave was closed around it, and there was no way out at all! There were only occasional gaps in the corners, and some air would not suffocate people to death, and occasionally a few drops of water would drop. And some unknown plants also grow in the corner of the ground.
And the whole cave was filled with a faint golden light, but I could barely see things clearly.
Ling Xiao could only comfort himself, but he understood that the Clark metal ball was originally used for positioning and teleportation, but the solution of this eternal mystery was destined to be known by no one else!
