In front of everyone, the lantern arrow that was supposed to fall to the ground did not go as expected. Instead, like the lantern arrow just now, it fell downwards and disappeared.
Ye Qiong stood up from the ground, clapped his hands, and said with some confusion: "It shouldn't be..."
The lantern arrow was thrown directly by Ye Qiong. According to common sense, the light emitted would not disappear so quickly.
Unless there is a possibility, that is, not far away in front of you is a very large space, so large that it is unimaginable.
It would be great if there was a searchlight now. Ye Qiong could only think about it now. The light emitted by torches and barrel grease lamps was a bit too weak.
It is very uncomfortable to have blocked vision in such a claustrophobic environment.
Ye Qiong continued to walk forward, but at a slower pace. After walking about fifteen meters, he finally saw changes. The passage...
Gone!
Yes, it disappeared directly. What everyone sees in front of them now is nothingness.
Ye Qiong and the others are now at the edge of the passage. To be precise, this is a cliff!
What is in front of everyone is the kind of seemingly endless nothingness, where nothing can be seen.
Although there is nothing in front of everyone, an invisible wall has arisen in their hearts, reminding everyone that what is in front of them is an insurmountable gap.
Before coming here, Ye Qiong actually thought of many scenarios that might happen here, but he never expected that what they encountered when they arrived was nothingness.
"There seems to be nothing in front of me..." Qing Zhi said, looking at the empty space in front of her.
Ye Qiong nodded without saying anything. He handed the torch in his hand to Qing Zhi and whispered: "Don't talk yet."
Qing Zhi immediately took the torch, and then saw Ye Qiong take down the bone crystal long bow from behind, and also pulled out an arrow.
Take a bow and shoot an arrow.
This was an ordinary special arrow. This time Ye Qiong used all his strength to shoot the arrow directly.
"Whoosh!"
After everyone calmed down, the only sound left in the entire space was the sound of arrows piercing the air.
Getting farther and farther, and finally disappeared. Ye Qiong kept listening, hoping to hear the sound of the arrow hitting the opposite side, but unfortunately, no sound of impact came back.
Not even the sound of the arrow hitting the ground came back.
Everyone, even the forest apes, held their breath, waiting for some sound from the other side.
Disappointingly, there was no sound.
Ye Qiong and the soldier behind him asked for an arrow again, lit it, and walked to the edge.
Now Ye Qiong doesn't know how deep it is down there, so the only way is to get some firelight down there.
Two light arrows had just landed here, but no light came back.
According to the current phenomenon, the width of this space must be at least one kilometer, and the depth is conservatively estimated to be several hundred meters deep.
The kind that will shatter into pieces if it falls.
Ye Qiong threw down the lantern arrow in his hand.
I kept staring at the red-yellow light and counted in my mind. After about six seconds, the light disappeared.
Ye Qiong frowned immediately. If he knew the current gravity acceleration of the snow star, he could easily calculate the height. But unfortunately, he still doesn't know. Ye Qiong hasn't tested it yet, but this is also It’s simple. You can measure it directly on the waterfall when you have time in two days.
First, he remembered this time in his heart, and Ye Qiong also had a rough distance in his heart.
Then the analysis started.
First of all, the light arrow disappears directly, which means that there is something below that can make the fire disappear. If it is flat ground, even if the light arrow falls and makes no sound, the fire will already light up, and the light can spread very far. Long distance, let alone hundreds of meters,
In this absolutely dark environment, the light from a candle can be seen even from a few kilometers away.
So what is certain now is that the depth below is not endless. There is still a bottom, which is only a few hundred meters away and less than a kilometer away.
Ye Qiong thought that there might be water flow below. If the arrow was inserted vertically, it would indeed not make any sound. However, this possibility was unlikely. There would still be some sound coming up.
If it is neither flat land nor stagnant water, then there is only one possibility that can directly submerge the lantern arrows and extinguish the wick without any sound coming out.
That's something like sand, or that soft substance.
Ye Qiong looked around and didn't find any big rocks around him. He originally wanted to throw a bigger thing down to see what was going on.
"There are traces here..." Qing Zhi's voice came from the side of Ye Qiong, and Ye Qiong immediately looked over.
I saw Qing Zhi squatting half-crouched in the corner of the wall, staring at the ground.
Ye Qiong walked up to Qing Zhi, took a look, and found that there were some wear marks, similar to those left by long-term friction of iron chains. They were very deep, about five centimeters.
The width is twenty centimeters.
There was not just one, but five. Ye Qiong walked to the other side. Sure enough, he also saw five here, which were completely symmetrical.
"It looks like there's something down there... You two go find some rocks and bring them over, even bigger snow blocks." Ye Qiong waved his hands at the two Qiongqi warriors and said.
The two soldiers responded immediately, turned around and walked back towards the passage they came from.
Continue to ask the two soldiers carrying the barrel grease lamps to put down all the barrel grease lamps. On both sides of the edge, closer to the inside, about two meters apart, two barrel grease lamps were placed on each side. After lighting them together, Qing Zhi and the remaining soldiers extinguished all the torches in their hands.
As the four wooden barrel grease lamps on the left and right sides were lit together, the passage became a little brighter.
These four wooden barrel grease lamps will burn quietly here for a long time.
Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to count the remaining barrel grease lamps.
Now there are nine left.
Ye Qiong planned to put down these nine wooden barrel grease lamps to try, but throwing them away would definitely not work.
You have to use vines to slowly lower it down, so that it is more secure. Ye Qiong is still very curious about what is underneath.
Now Ye Qiong also has a very strong desire for electricity and light.
The two soldiers who were arranged by Ye Qiong to take the stones ran out and came back quickly. However, they did not hold the stones in their hands. Instead, they each came back with a large ice cube with a diameter of forty centimeters.
After Ye Qiong saw this, he couldn't help but smile. It was indeed not easy to find stones in this cave.
