Several soldiers on the cave side watched Ye Qiong's body disappear directly into the dark cave entrance.
In the already dim water channel, after Ye Qiong jumped up, his vision became even darker. When he raised his head, he could not see his fingers.
He took out the fire stick directly from his waist, blew it gently, and a golden spark lit up.
After the light got better, Ye Qiong continued to climb up.
Soon, he came to the white stone wall. Ye Qiong touched it again and felt its thickness and hardness.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a piece of animal skin and charcoal from his waist, and began to insert the fire stick into a hole in the wall next to him. Ye Qiong squatted directly on the ground and began to draw.
What is the difference between the current height and the height inside the waterfall cave is what Ye Qiong wants to calculate now.
Ye Qiong has always been curious about this hole.
After calculations, Ye Qiong determined one thing, that is, under the waterfall, there is a large space between the weapons storage space where Tang Li and the others are on the right, and the hole where Ye Qiong is now. space!
Ye Qiong has been asking Qing Zhi and Na Ning to study the written records in the waterfall cave.
It is a pity that there are very few records about this waterfall cave and water channel, and most of them are insignificant things.
Ye Qiong had thought about expanding the hole before, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be very dangerous to dig a hole in such a place with the current tribe's technology.
So this idea had to be postponed.
Staying in this cave is quite peaceful, but for someone with claustrophobia, living in this place can feel like a year.
Ye Qiong calmed down his mind and thought about things for a while. It was already dark outside and it was time to go to bed...
After returning to his wooden house at the base of the waterfall, Ye Qiong continued to take out the animal skin and decided to go to the waterfall cave to take a look tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after Ye Qiong got up, he climbed directly to the waterfall. Now, the stone embankment above the waterfall cave has been washed away.
However, the wooden stakes nailed in the middle area are still there. In the beginning of spring, these wooden stakes took a lot of effort by the soldiers. The purpose was to prevent the two giant vines from being affected by the water during the storm. Rush away.
The effect is still very obvious. If it were not for these wooden stakes, the two vines now would probably be sucked directly into the water channel like the vines last year.
Above the base of the waterfall, the accumulated water is concentrated in the area between the third river channel and the edge of the waterfall. The deepest area of the sunken area can be more than fifty meters long, so we want to remove this accumulated water. To dredge the water under the waterfall, you either need to dig a channel with a height of fifty meters, or you can only use tools to get it out.
If there are plastic pipes, the siphon principle can be used to drain the accumulated water. Now for the soldiers at the waterfall base, the first task is to clear the water channel first, and the discharge of accumulated water on the waterfall must be ranked behind. .
Qingzhi, Qinglie, Xinka and the others are all at the wooden house base in the Dinglong Mountains, and Na Ning is also there...
Therefore, only Tang Li and the female warriors from the tribe were left in the waterfall cave. After the heavy rain, Tang Li took a dozen female warriors to climb to the top of the waterfall, once again reinforced the wood above, and cleaned it at the same time. Something hanging from a vine.
So now the vines are relatively clean and don't have that depressed feeling after being hit by a storm.
After following the vines down to the waterfall cave, there is a different scene inside. The impact of the storm on the inside is completely negligible.
The sacks on both sides are filled with black iron sand. A lot of it has been collected at this time. Considering the load-bearing capacity of the edge of the waterfall cave, the pile here is not very high. The height of the pile is about two meters. Then it kept extending inside.
Ye Qiong continued walking inside and came to the large mural in the middle. He looked at the scene of the confrontation between the century-old Madman King and the human camp.
Every time I see this mural, I am shocked...
Turn right and go down to the large space inside. The weapons and armor inside are still neatly arranged. The ones taken out by the tribe in front are nothing compared to what is left inside now.
There are a lot of grease lamps currently stored in the waterfall cave. Dozens of wooden barrel grease lamps are lit up in the huge space. They can be seen in every area, although it is still dim overall. But there is light in all areas, which can make people feel the hugeness of this space area.
After such a long period of development, in this area, some wooden houses have been built as living areas in several areas where weapons are sparsely stored. There are also several areas where the light is brighter, and a dozen large wooden tables are neatly arranged. They were arranged in a row, filled with animal skins and charcoal pencils. More than twenty female warriors were concentrated in this area, painting, looking very serious, and did not notice Ye Qiong's arrival.
Work hard and work hard...
Looking at the current development in this area, Ye Qiong is quite satisfied. After all, the research on the ancestors of the Na Ning tribe is very meaningful and will greatly promote the improvement of the overall strength of the Ye Qiong tribe.
Ye Qiong had no intention of letting Tang Li follow him and asked her to continue working on other things. Ye Qiong himself took a special grease torch and came to the area on the outer wall.
This time Ye Qiong came here to see the gray-white walls, which were the stone doors above the sealed stairs.
As long as the stone door can be opened, you can continue walking down those stairs.
It's just the hardness of these stone gates that makes the soldiers and forest apes helpless. Those black weapons can only leave a white mark when they strike on them.
Ye Qiong walked to a stone door, took out the bone crystal dagger from his waist, and lightly scratched the stone door a few times.
You can actually see the marks, and then Ye Qiong rubbed it a few times with a little force, and the white marks were slightly darker visible to the naked eye.
Ye Qiong continued to rub it for a few more times, and found that if he used a bone crystal dagger, he could rub the stone door open, but it would only take a long time.
This is because the stone door is not that wide. If the thickness of the stone door exceeds half a meter, or even more than one meter, then even if Ye Qiong wants to use a bone crystal dagger to break a hole in a stone door, It also has to be calculated on a monthly basis.
If Kuang Baichi could use bone crystals to make a chisel, with the strength of the ancient forest ape, if time allowed, he could break through...
Ye Qiong was really curious about what was there and why it was sealed up later, so he decided to ask Kuang Baichi to get a bone crystal chisel and take care of his bone crystal longbow the next time he visited the central tribe. .
After continuing to rub the stone door for a while, Ye Qiong felt that his arms were a little sore. This kind of physical work was definitely not done by humans. It was more torturous than fighting.
After kicking the stone door violently, Ye Qiong picked up the grease torch on the ground and went to wander somewhere else.
The female warriors in the tribe, those in the Waterfall Cave at the moment, are all older. For Ye Qiong, the young patriarch, most of them are at the level of aunties, and the younger ones are also big sisters. .
So after seeing Ye Qiong, the look in his eyes was mostly doting and giving him whatever he asked for.
As long as Ye Qiong opens his mouth, as long as they have it, they will basically not refuse.
After wandering around the waterfall cave, Ye Qiong looked at the animal skins on the wooden tables, and then, with the enthusiasm of a group of female warriors, he had a meal inside and returned to the waterfall base.
Three days later...
Under the two-way rush of Daidai and the army, the water channel was finally cleared without any danger.
