It was a hole extending downwards, and the walls on both sides of the stone staircase were covered with glowing crystals. Each one seemed to be priceless, but it was so hard that it was impossible to shake it even with an electric drill, let alone pick it out with bare hands. Not only that, there are rare runes printed on each stone step. They are full of endless mystery and awe. Blue ripples will appear with every step, just like walking on a stone road that has been rained.
You can't see the end of the stone staircase at a glance. Fortunately, it only extends downwards. If you go up, you don't know how much strength and energy will be consumed. But the further you go down, the less available air becomes. Fortunately, Qin Fan Before departure, they specially purchased a batch of gas cylinders from the International Extinction Sales Platform that would last them for half a year.
The journey was very smooth, unlike those in ordinary places. The roads here were clean and tidy without any dust, and not even any strange and ferocious insects and beasts appeared.
"Strange, why is this place so exquisite?"
"It's too quiet. Isn't it a little out of the scope of what conventional extinction should be?"
"Yes, from the moment I entered here, I felt an inexplicable awe and uneasiness in myself, as if I had arrived at some holy place!?"
Listening to the conversation between several people, Qin Fan said nothing because he also felt a feeling, but it was different from theirs, more familiar and sad.
Qin Fan once wondered if he was sick. Ever since the dream, his consciousness and body began to become a little strange. This was something he had never experienced before. Even when he went to the Tomb of the Ghost King, he only felt a little uncomfortable. , has almost never been the case today.
"Jiang Tian, do you feel it?" Tan Fan looked ahead and asked Jiang Tian.
"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Jiang Tian replied loudly, his voice reaching down and coming back, "Fuck, what is going on?"
The sound bounced out and bounced back, indicating that the space here was made of special materials, but why did the sound that came back change?
Does it sound more like a female voice?
Qin Fan slowed down and had some speculation in his mind.
"Everybody speak louder."
speak loudly? Someone asked in confusion: "Why are you talking loudly?"
"Why speak so loudly!"
The voice came back again and became a male voice.
The woman who just asked was suddenly stunned, and everyone present looked horrified for a moment. This time they really heard it, and seemed to understand why Qin Fan did what he did.
"Oh, my god!"
"W-what on earth is going on?"
Listening to the reverberation frequency of the sound, they were not far from the end, but it was pitch black below, and they had no idea what was waiting for them. Although there were crystal lights shining on both sides of the wall, the brightness was still not enough, and as the length extended , it is impossible to see the scene below.
"Let's keep walking." Qin Fan said cautiously.
At this time, someone screamed in horror, everyone present was startled, and someone yelled, "Are you sick!?"
Qin Fan turned around and saw a woman sitting on the ground with her legs slumped, holding the wall with her hands and shaking. Qin Fan knew the girl. She was a research member of the International Expedition Team. She had always done research on the ground. He has rarely been to the tomb for exploration and testing. He lacks experience. He doesn't know why he came with Qin Fan this time. I hope he won't be a drag.
"I was shocked."
"...Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm too scared."
"Why are you going to the grave if you're afraid?" Jiang Tian asked.
"That's right, don't scare yourself to death before you encounter anything!"
"Okay, this ruin is very weird, I believe everyone has felt it." Tan Fan said and walked up to the girl, "This is just the beginning, it's still too late to go back now."
Tan Fan also wanted to call the girl back, but the girl just turned around and started calling again, "No... I'll just follow you."
Qin Fan felt helpless and said, "Okay, then you can walk in the middle, so you won't be too scared."
The girl nodded and continued to get up and follow the team. She calmed down when she saw there were people up, down, left and right.
Along the way, Jiang Tian looked back at the girl from time to time, with the words "Please go back" written on his face.
"Tin Fan, do you think this aunt will cause any trouble in the future?" Jiang Tian approached Tan Fan and whispered.
Qin Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Hey, there is no other way. Now that she has gone down here, it is unrealistic to let her go back alone. If she is really in danger, just take care of her as much as possible."
Jiang Tian was not happy anymore, "Protect her? It's okay if she doesn't scare the whole group."
Qin Fan laughed out loud and said, "Haha, did you learn this from playing games?"
"Well......"
Jiang Tian scratched his head and said solemnly: "That's right!"
...
At the end of the stone staircase, a woman wearing a blue robe and a white jade mask floated past in a trance. After hearing the footsteps, she immediately disappeared, leaving only a blue-white mist stagnating in the air.
About ten minutes later, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. Tan Fan and others dragged their heating bags to the end of the stone staircase. The blue-white mist also dissipated, but Tan Fan happened to see it.
At this moment, in front of Qin Fan and others is a huge black iron door made of special materials. The door is engraved with patterns and strange symbols. The door is recessed from both sides. Although it is only half an outline, it is It can still be seen that this is half a hexagon.
This is very similar to what is described in the third chapter of Qin Fan's book "The Journey of Heavenly Enlightenment". Six stars gather together, and the string is Yingchuan; the Tao multiplies each other, and there is nowhere to go; the righteous Qianxiang is forgiven, and the horns are facing each other to cherish the fate... …
If it is correct, the twelve corners corresponding to this door are important for opening the door or mechanism.
Except for Tan Fan, everyone else looked around like children who had never seen the world. Even the girl who screamed just now forgot her fear and started groping. This was what Tan Fan was most worried about, and The temperature here is countless times lower than the temperature on the way here. Even the heating bag on my hand has gradually condensed and lost its warmth.
"Tin Fan, do you still have something like this?" Jiang Tian walked up to Tan Fan with a piece of Huazi in his mouth and handed the heat pack over and asked.
"Yes, but you'd better use them sparingly. The temperature here is weird, so these heat packs won't do anything at all!"
"That's it!"
"How about... come to Genhuazi?"
Jiang Tian said and handed the box over again. Of course, he also knew that Tan Fan didn't smoke, but in this situation, smoking one in his mouth always made him feel better.
"...No, that's it." Tan Fan frowned.
While they were talking, the lines on the door and the wall suddenly lit up with a flash of rainbow light. The lights formed a line and came out of a gap, as if a circuit was unblocked and entered the electrode box. Qin Fan quickly turned to look at the crowd and thought. They looked to see if someone had touched something like a mechanism, but their reactions were all frightened and at a loss.
"what happened?"
Jiang Tiandao: "Did you encounter some agency again?"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
"Is that you?" Jiang Tian pointed at the girl just now with his flashlight and asked seriously.
"I didn't, I really didn't touch anything!" The girl waved her hands repeatedly and took the opportunity to hide next to Qin Fan.
"I didn't, I really didn't touch anything?"
