The mountains in Shennongjia are precipitous and beautiful. The vast mountains are undulating, with dozens of overlapping layers. There are many streams and waterfalls, the primeval forests become deeper and denser as you go deeper, the abyss is deep, the ridges are lush, and there are poisonous insects and snakes. Frequently seen with all kinds of wild beasts.
Even with the map and rubbings in Professor Sun's hands, they had to dig through the rolling mountains for several days before reaching the main peak of Shennongjia.
When we arrived at the main peak, we compared the map and found that this was just the front mountain of Shennongjia. The location shown on the map was still in the back mountain.
Just like this, we walked in the mountains for two more days. One day, thanks to Hu Bayi's dragon-seeking and metal-dividing skills, he found a cave. There were more than a dozen corpses in the cave.
After rummaging through, they found that these bones were adventurers from Britain, the United States, Tsarist Russia and other places during the Republic of China. In the name of geographical exploration, they searched for antiquities or captured rare birds and animals. Unexpectedly, they were killed in the depths of Shennongjia. at.
Fatty Wang found several intact firearms wrapped in oilcloth in the canvas bag next to the bones, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Professor Sun found a notepad on the body, which mostly contained sketches of various beasts and plants discovered by the expedition team in the mountains. The last page was a simple map, and there were also a few blurry black and white photos, which seemed to be Photographed the murals in some ancient tombs.
The mural in the photo should be the main basis for this map. The map starts from a mountain peak, and the route passes through the deep and twisting valleys under the mountain. Every other section is marked with a black dot, and at the end is a basin formed by the intersection of earth veins.
He was surprised to find that the terrain in the photo was exactly the same as the terrain recorded on the rubbings he owned, except that the strong magical color was erased and the coordinates obtained from peripheral surveys were added to make the map more practical.
"It seems that this group of people also set their sights on the abyss and wanted to go hunting for treasures, but unfortunately they died on the way." Professor Sun couldn't hide the joy in his voice, and took out the rubbings to compare them carefully.
Seeing that there was nothing more to be gained, everyone climbed up through the cracks in the mountain peaks. The valley was deep and steep, with clouds and mist pressing down on it. It was sometimes narrow and sometimes wide. The black hole was so wet that it was hard to find where to step. There was a strip of water at the bottom of the mountain. Northwest extending valley.
Following the map, passing through cracks hundreds of meters deep, the terrain got lower and lower, and then gradually opened up, and unexpectedly found a huge prehistoric forest in the heart of the mountain.
Not far away, Professor Sun found a "jade figurine" in the forest. The texture was close to that of dry bones. The gold color on the surface had peeled off and the texture was blurred. It must have existed for at least two thousand years.
Professor Sun wiped off the dirt on the jade figurines and said: "It is said that the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period believed most in witches and ghosts. They believed that the gods in the underworld all have bird heads and human faces, and can bring the souls of the dead to the underworld. They eat dead human brains underground to make a living. In ancient times, it was said that there were evil ghosts locked under the Yinhai Valley, and the Chu people placed "jade figurines" around them to suppress evil spirits to prevent the ghosts from escaping. It seems that we have found the ghosts that King Chu You sent the great witch to enter. The door is open."
Just when Professor Sun came into contact with the jade figurine, the jade figurine suddenly moved, and a black mist spewed out of its mouth and flew towards Professor Sun's face.
The moment the jade figurine opened its mouth, Song Xing popped out with one finger, and the violent wind directly entangled the black mist, and then fell on the ground in front of Professor Sun.
Professor Sun, who was still in shock, looked closely and found something in the black mist. It was as long as a finger and as thick as half a finger. It had a flat body, six short limbs on both sides, suction cups on its toes, and it was covered in blood. , spitting out black mist and making a "clack-clack-clack" sound similar to a wooden propeller.
"What is this!!" Fatty Wang exclaimed.
Song Xing said: "This is a spinosaurus, a primitive creature in the wilderness. It can fly short distances and is used to living in damp and dark places. The largest one has a body like a silver needle. If it is a parasite on the human body, it will live on human blood. , it is said that it has been extinct for a long time, and there are no relevant records after the Jin Dynasty.”
Shennongjia is isolated from the rest of the world, and its special environment remains unchanged forever. It is unknown how many rare and terrifying species are hidden there.
Afterwards, while walking through the prehistoric forest, the group encountered several poisonous insects and beasts that had disappeared from history, but with Song Xing's protection, they were not in danger.
Along the way, besides rushing, Professor Sun had been trying to figure out the information on the rubbings, as well as the maps and photos obtained from the dead expedition team.
On the expedition team's map, he found a black box drawn on a place that looked like a coffin. He has been speculating whether there is something special about this specially marked location.
"Old Sun, stop looking at your crappy map and come here to have something to eat." While resting on the way, Fatty Wang shot a few pheasants and cooked roast chicken.
Because this mountain forest is so inaccessible, it is extremely rich in species.
Professor Sun heard Fatty Wang's greeting and came over mumbling something. He took the roast chicken and took a few bites. His eyes began to be dazed again, as if he was under a spell.
"Shennong Tianbo, God's Ring, Black Box, Yinshan Mountain, Ghost Gate, I understand, Shennong Tianbo must be related to the 30th North Latitude!!"
Professor Sun stood up suddenly and shouted, not even knowing that the roast chicken fell from his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey, Old Sun, you scared me. Sit down and explain it clearly. It's so surprising." Fatty Wang said with some dissatisfaction.
Shirley Yang did know the 30th degree north latitude, "Professor, are you talking about the 30th degree north latitude that runs through the four ancient civilizations?"
In the scientific world, the 30th degree north latitude is indeed a magical dimension. Not only does it cross the four ancient civilizations, but countless unsolved mysteries of mankind occur here.
For example, the Bermuda Triangle, the Egyptian Pyramids, the Sanxingdui Culture, the sunken Atlantis, the Mariana Trench, the lowest altitude on earth, and the highest Mount Everest, etc.
Professor Sun said excitedly: "Yes, Shennongjia where we are now happens to be within the range of 30 degrees north latitude. Following this range, we can definitely find the existence of Shennong Tianhao."
He had a hunch that all the strange things that had happened in Shennongjia since ancient times were closely related to the 30th degree north latitude.
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu people worshiped witchcraft and believed in ghosts. They believed that underneath the earth's veins was the mountain behind which locked ghosts. The jade figurines just now and the caves with overlapping walls seen along the way were probably excavated during the period of King You of Chu. Follow the If this trajectory continues, I have a hunch that we will not be far from Shennong Tianhuan."
Fatty Wang didn't believe it, "It's so easy. Doesn't it mean that the Green Grave Organization has been looking for it for two thousand years and still hasn't found it?"
Professor Sun said meaningfully: "This is just like you fighting against each other. Didn't you also find the Tomb of King Xian and Dixian Village that no one has found for thousands of years? In terms of physiognomy, this is called luck! Green! I have been searching for the tomb for two thousand years, but when I was about to succeed, the map was stolen by me, and you just need information about the ancient gods. This is destiny! It is destined that Shen Nong Tian Huo will be discovered in our hands."
Professor Sun looked a little excited, as if the archaeological soul in his body was beginning to awaken, "The history of the Shennongjia underground caves is more than ten thousand years old. It existed underground even before the Shennongjia Mountains rose from the ocean. There may be many unknown things underground. , we still have to be fully prepared to be safe.”
Fatty Wang glanced at Song Xing and said, "Master Song is fully prepared, what are you afraid of!"
Professor Sun glanced at Fatty Wang and had to admit that he was right.
