Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains!
Atop the vast expanse of snow, a young man galloped over on a horse. The horse was strong and strong, with slender limbs. Every muscle in its body seemed to contain endless potential. No one could doubt the horse's running ability. speed.
In the desolate snowy plain, the figure of the boy and the horse seemed a little lonely.
"drive!"
Ye Qiong rode on the back of the Mustang King and clamped his legs on the Mustang King's belly. The Mustang King's speed increased again.
The cold wind was biting, but Ye Qiong began to enjoy the feeling of the cold wind blowing across his face.
The Mustang King ran all the way. Originally, the Snowy Devil Wolf had to run for half a day, but the Mustang King arrived in an hour. There is another reason for being so fast, and that is that it hasn’t snowed much these days, and now the coal mines and tribes In the meantime, the vehicles that had been transported collapsed and a road more than five meters wide emerged.
The overall transportation speed has increased a lot, and the connection between the tribe and the coal mine has also become very close.
Since the coal mine was discovered a month ago, hundreds of tons of coal have been transported to the tribe and stored in the southwest corner of the tribe. Now it is all piled up and looks like a small hill.
Ye Qiong knew half a month ago that the current coal mining speed was sufficient, so the original team of seventy people was directly cut in half by Ye Qiong, and now there are only thirty-five people.
In addition to mining coal mines, these thirty-five people are also responsible for the defenses here. Beast tides on Snow Star may attack at any time, and crazy crowds will appear from time to time.
In the past, the Ye Qiong tribe would only build defense fortifications in selected habitats to survive the long cold winter. Now that they have settled down, any base outside the tribe must build defense fortifications. This is a must. Guarantee is the premise, followed by mining.
After all, mining can be done more slowly and steadily, but if the defenses are not built in time, once encountering a tide of beasts or a crowd of madmen, the soldiers responsible for mining will definitely be bloodbathed due to their numbers.
To prevent problems before they occur, urban defense construction is very important!
If it is not done well, it will be nothing but water in a bamboo basket.
Although the speed of development is important, compared with the lives of the tribesmen and warriors, it has to take a back seat...
The team of thirty-five people is now completely managed by Ronling. Ye Tianlong will come over from time to time to take a look. Now there is a road between the coal mine and the tribe. When the weather changes, Ronling will lead the soldiers first. Time to get back to the tribe.
Ye Qiong stopped at the entrance of the cave. The Mustang King has not stopped for a moment since he set off from the tribe. However, looking at his appearance now, he is not too tired, but he is breathing a little faster.
Ronngling saw Ye Qiong's figure from afar. Now Dakui and Daidai are helping to mine the coal mine. Ye Qiong only came once half a month ago, and spent the rest of the month in retreat for research. Repeating crossbow.
Ye Qiong came here this time to see the current exploration situation of the cave. According to Ye Qiong's previous instructions, there was no rush in exploring the cave. Now Ye Qiong doesn't know how deep it is.
He also asked Ronling to get some torches and walked in with Ronling and five warriors.
The soldiers were responsible for lighting the lamps in front. Now there is still a wooden barrel grease lamp every twenty meters. After exiting, the soldiers will extinguish it, so the ten barrels that were put in for the first time are still there. Next half.
The depth of the cave is far beyond Ye Qiong's imagination.
In a month, under the leadership of Ronling, after the solid grease was extracted from the tribe, it would be sent over and put into the cave, one every 20 meters, very regularly.
So far, exactly eighty have been released!
Converted into distance, that's 1.6 kilometers.
This six kilometers is actually not worth mentioning on the plain outside, but in such a mountain, it is very deep and abrupt.
The further you go inside, the quieter you get, the temperature slowly rises, and the opening becomes larger and larger. After one kilometer, the cross section is already thirty meters wide and forty meters high. Ye Qiong and the seven of them Walking inside, it seems a little small.
After 1.5 kilometers, water droplets began to appear above the cave, and many stalactites formed below. In the quiet cave, the sound of water droplets began to sound, and they fell on the stalactites drop by drop.
The water droplets dripping from above are very rich in mineral content, so after dripping below, over time, they will slowly form stalactites, which will get higher and higher.
The arrangement of stalactites is very irregular. The tallest ones can reach two meters, while the shorter ones are tens of centimeters.
Ye Qiong knows very well what kind of benefits this kind of cave will bring to the tribe if it is safe, so the exploration will not stop.
When they reached the point where the barrel grease lamp disappeared, everyone stopped.
The wooden barrel grease lamp, originally placed on both sides, has now been placed in the middle position.
After the small flame burned, it performed a charming pale yellow dance.
The light of a few torches can completely cover the light of the grease lamp, but the light is still very weak, and you can't even see the walls on both sides.
It was pitch black ahead, and behind it was a straight and weird light from a barrel grease lamp. As the distance got farther, it gradually became smaller and eventually disappeared.
Standing here, you can only see the twentieth wooden barrel grease lamp, and beyond that, it is still pitch black.
The team stopped. Ye Qiong looked around, then held up a torch and walked towards the right wall.
This wall of more than 40 meters high is very visually impactful when standing in front of it. When converted into building height, it is about fifteen stories high.
Humans standing at the bottom are very small. The light from the torch in their hands can only shine to half the height. If they go up, they can't see anything. If they want to let their vision break through the distance of twenty meters in the dark, Ye Qiong must find a way to make a flashlight.
There was nothing on the bare walls.
Too……
If there is something carved on the wall, such as patterns and fonts, it will be lively for Ye Qiong.
Although Ye Qiong was very willing to see this scene, and he could accept it, the reality was that there was nothing, just a little dampness on the bare wall.
Ye Qiong stretched out his right hand and touched it, then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was a faint fishy smell...
Unable to help frowning, Ye Qiong raised his head again and looked at the top of the cave. He always felt that something was staring at him from above, but the light from the torch in his hand could not reach it.
This gave Ye Qiong a very uncomfortable feeling.
