"I'll go first! Wait for my news. Look, I'm the only one with the 'light'!"
Diyal once again acted as the vanguard. His physical characteristics made him an advantageous member of this expedition team; the luminous sapphires he had taken when he first drilled the tree hole were still on him. At this time, he took another He came out, showed it to everyone proudly, and added, "We'll go down in a while. Each of us needs to have lighting. Come on, let's get a piece for each of us!"
"Also, wait a minute, let's make another rope and tie it around your waist. If anything happens, we can pull it up." There are two layers outside, so he smiled at him and said: "Your coat is the 'rope' we are looking for, sacrifice it!"
Ma Shenshen responded and immediately took off his coat. He was very happy and started tearing it apart with his own hands. While tearing it back, he said, "Thank God, you didn't take a fancy to my neck!"
Everyone burst into laughter. Soon, a rope made of torn coats and tied into strips of cloth was finally formed. It was almost seven or eight meters long. It was tied tightly around Diyal's waist, allowing him to get in first. The gap between the pillars slides down the fine sandy slope.
Soon, the rope became straightened, and Xinwu felt the pull from where Dial's weight got stuck.
"How's it going? How deep is it?"
"Put it in just a little bit more and it'll be the end!"
Xin Wu asked Ma Shenshen to hold his legs, then he grabbed the rope and got in.
"Okay, okay!"
Before Xin Wu had time to unfold his whole body, the pull from the rope on his hand disappeared.
"How's it going inside? What did you see?"
Xin Wu grabbed the end of the rope and asked loudly.
"There is a wall, and there is a hole. It's square, and it's very dark inside. I don't know what's there, so I have to go in and see." Dial answered while exploring.
"How is the air? Is it difficult to breathe?" Xinwu was concerned about the safety of the first life support resources.
"It's okay, I don't feel suffocated." Diaer replied.
"Okay, you untie the rope, and I'll throw it to Ma Shenshen and the others to hold on to. Don't move yet, and I'll get down too."
Xin Wu threw the rope back to Ma Shenshen and said: "Grab the end of the rope and pull us up."
Then, he said to the other two members of the "exploration team", Shi Baoshan and Huo Dun: "I'll go down and take a look. If there's no problem, you can come in again and wait for our greeting."
After saying that, he changed his position and sat down. As he spoke, he slid to the bottom and met Dial who was holding a "blue light illumination".
"Hey, this is quite deep!" Xin Wu stood up and patted the sand on his butt and said.
"Yes! Look, it's almost ten meters high from the top, right?" Dial said, pointing to the top.
Xin Wu looked back at the place where they came down. The light was very bright. He roughly estimated that the castle room below was about ten meters high, which is equivalent to more than three floors of an ordinary home! It is truly majestic!
"Look, this is the entrance to the square cave." Dial pointed to the only entrance he found besides three solid walls.
"Well, I'll go in and take a look first."
Xinwu took a larger piece of sapphire as a lighting. He stretched his hand around it first and looked around. There was no obstruction. Then he turned around and crawled backwards into the square hole. He lay down first and put down one foot. I tested the ground at the bottom: there seemed to be no ground, it was suspended. Then I went directly below and stepped against the stone wall. After trying a few times, I finally stepped on a relatively hard place, like a pile of debris. The thing is, anyway, hard and can bear weight.
Xinwu put the sapphire in his mouth, bit it tightly with his teeth, then freed his hands, grasped the uneven stone wall outside the square cave, and put the other foot down, trying both feet. After a few times, I changed to a position where I could stand more firmly, and then slowly slid more of my body back into the hole. My hands still didn't dare to let go until my head was completely in. I turned around and turned left and right. After looking around, it was still dark and hard to see clearly; when I looked down again, I saw that what I was stepping on looked like a pile of strange tree trunks - this looked familiar, the same as the giant tree hole they had drilled out before. The branches are of a unified style.
"It seems that this pile of tree trunks can be used as scaffolding! Not bad, not bad!"
Xin Wu tested it with his feet while slowly descending. This pile of branches was not stable enough, but because of the large number of branches, even if one or two branches were broken by stepping on them, they would still fall down. Stack it on the next layer, and then firmly support Xinwu's feet.
Just like that, holding his breath, Xin Wu followed the pile of dry branches and descended to the next level again. This time, the bottom was nearly two or three meters away from the square hole above. Finally, he could step on the "stone" "It's dead!"
Xin Wu carefully stepped on the "stone" under his feet to make sure that nothing was loose and could bear his weight. Then he relaxed his grip on his hands, squatted down, and used the "blue light" from his mouth. "Lighting" took a closer look at the ground material on this floor: it is stone! When I touched it again, I found it was flat and smooth. Under the blue light, the layer that had been wiped away still had a light blue luster wherever my fingers touched it - it turned out to be made of marble! Advanced enough!
"Brother Xinwu, can I come down too?!"
Diyal was a little anxious and saw that Xin Wu didn't speak again for a long time.
"Wait a minute, I'll take another look. I'll tell you to get off, and you'll get off again; you'll be there first and be responsible for passing the message!"
Xin Wu now began to think: this is getting deeper and deeper, and the unknown dangers are uncertain. The path back cannot be cut off. There must be sufficient signal transmission guarantee along the way.
"How's it going down there? Can we come down too?"
Shi Baoshan and Huodun, who were staying outside, couldn't hold back anymore and shouted down.
"Wait a moment, Brother Xinwu said." Diyal shouted back at the top.
Xin Wu stood up, spit out the sapphire in his mouth, held it in one hand, and shook it from left to right. He saw that the surrounding area was very empty and there was nothing; he then used his feet to explore around. I walked around the semicircle and felt it. There was nothing blocking it, so I tried to step on it. They all had the same smooth marble floor, so I walked forward a few steps with confidence, took another photo, and found that on the left front, There is a very tall doorway, and there seems to be a deeper walkway extending forward.
"Let's see what's over here first!"
Xin Wu first set a coordinate for himself: if we take the square hole where the light shines from as the starting point, assuming it is the south, now we are heading due north.
After walking for about ten meters, we arrived at the gate. Looking at the rest, we saw that a whole circle of walls were closed. After searching around, we found that this was probably a rotunda with a radius of more than ten meters. The only exit is the main entrance. There is a pair of long domed wooden doors with the same height as the door opening. The door is ajar. There is a rusty iron lock in the middle. The keyhole is covered with heavy rust and has long been damaged. It was blocked so tightly that it was impossible to find the hole without peeling off the thick layer of rust.
Due to the age of this rusty lock, it was just hung like that. This wooden door was stronger than it. After the test of years, this lock was no longer useful. Xinwu just pushed it a little harder, and the base to which this lock was fastened became It was pulled off in one fell swoop, fell to the ground with a crash, and the pair of doors were successfully pushed open.
