He led two young warriors from the original tribe along the X-shaped stairs under the cliff to the pontoon.
Now the left and right sides extended about thirty meters each, and Ye Qiong walked to the right first.
The light from the torch is much brighter than the barrel grease lamp.
Ye Qiong was holding a torch in his right hand and walked all the way to the end. There were about ten soldiers at the front. Half of them were smashing wooden stakes into the black iron sand below, and the other half were smashing some slender sticks on the wall. nail.
Those slender steel nails are made of black iron sand. Both hardness and toughness are very high, comparable to steel nails. After smashing those steel nails in with a hammer, they can become very strong. The force is a little bit stronger.
Without these slender steel nails to provide stress points for the hemp rope on the wall, it would be difficult to build the X-shaped ladder.
Ye Qiong raised the torch to the highest position.
Started studying the walls...
These walls look very smooth and flat, much like the surface of large pebbles that were impacted by outflow.
Ye Qiong clicked the button with his fingertips. Judging from the strength fed back, the wall here was also very strong, but it didn't look like it was poured out of concrete.
The surface looks so smooth that the light from the torch can be reflected as a mosaic-like shadow.
But this seemingly smooth wall does not feel smooth when touched by hand, and has a frosted texture.
Ye Qiong closed his eyes and continued to experience the touch carefully. It seemed to be somewhat similar to the wall blocking his way in the water channel.
Continuing to look up at some of the areas above, Ye Qiong immediately noticed that something was not quite right.
As far as the eye can see, you can see many holes of different sizes!
These holes could not be seen at all when we were on the pontoon, and we had to be closer to see them.
Looking at the holes on it, Ye Qiong frowned slightly.
Those holes of different sizes are not only different in size, but also different in shape. They are not completely circular, but have all kinds of shapes. They are widely scattered and not dense.
To Ye Qiong, it felt a bit like the kind of renovated house that had some traces left after forcibly removing some things from the walls when it needed to be renovated.
Although the burning light of a torch is much brighter than a barrel grease lamp, the area it can illuminate is still limited.
No matter how good Ye Qiong's eyesight is, if he wants to see things clearly, he must have a light source.
As we walked a little closer to the pontoon, we saw that the holes on the wall gradually became sparser and disappeared until they reached the edge of the X-shaped stairs.
It seems that there are holes on the back of the X-shaped staircase. When the soldiers built the X-shaped staircase, they directly filled up or used those holes.
Just as Ye Qiong was holding a torch and looking at the holes of different sizes above, several soldiers walked over from the depths of the pontoon, led by a middle-aged soldier who looked a little beaten.
This middle-aged warrior from the original tribe is Hua Yu, the person in charge of the area on the left.
If calculated based on generation, there is some blood relationship with Hua Huangji. In theory, he should be Hua Huangji's cousin.
However, the Ye Qiong tribe does not have such a genealogical relationship, so the relationship in terms of seniority is actually limited to about three generations.
There is no need to worry about close relatives causing genetic defects in offspring. The battle death rate for men within the tribe is very high!
In this environmental context, if a small tribe wants to survive, its ethics will be weaker. After the men die in battle, women still have the obligation to continue the racial genes for the tribe. However, for the tribe, they also respect the female tribesmen themselves. will.
In the tribe, the relationship between men and women after union is very sincere, and there will be no farce such as divorce. After the next generation is born, the purpose of both parties is very clear, which is to do everything possible to Even if you sacrifice your own life, you must let the next generation survive.
Therefore, this change in union usually only occurs in one situation, that is, a man dies in battle, or a woman dies unexpectedly. Many powerful warriors have a very high status in the minds of female tribesmen.
The era of men farming and women weaving has been replaced by the cruel natural environment of Snow Star. The strength of male warriors was actually forced out. While enjoying the admiration of the opposite sex, facing the monsters and the external environment, what is needed There are many things to sacrifice, and even life must be paid as a price.
Huayu quickly came to Ye Qiong's side.
After saying hello, Hua Yu first told Ye Qiong about the current construction status of the pontoon bridge. Then Ye Qiong pointed to the holes of different sizes on the wall and asked: "Uncle Yu, what are the holes above here? Were you there when you were building the hanging ladder?”
Hua Yu looked in the direction of Ye Qiong's finger. When he came over, the two soldiers following him also held torches in their hands. The light sources can be superimposed, so the area is now brighter.
The visual distance has also increased a lot, and the holes higher up can also be seen.
Hua Yu nodded: "Yes, there are. I was a little confused at first, but there are many around here. It seems that the larger ones are not very deep, so they can be filled up directly."
He continued to ask Huayu about the condition of some walls, but he didn't get any answers, so he let Huayu continue to work on other things.
Ye Qiong held the torch himself and continued to wander around the left and right sides of the pontoon, hoping to get some clues from the cliff wall on this side.
After wandering around for a while, he took out the bone crystal dagger from his waist and tried to dig it out. The hardness was still very strong.
Using the bone crystal dagger, I directly dug a hole about thirty centimeters deep into the wall, and then stopped. The thickness of the wall was also very deep!
After observing and studying so far, Ye Qiong is basically certain that the wall of this cliff is not naturally formed...
Instead, they were poured or painted with special materials, but they were too old. A series of chemical reactions occurred inside these materials and on the surface of the wall, making the surface look like a cross-section of stone.
Suddenly, Ye Qiong felt powerless. If his thoughts were true, then judging from the tribe's current comprehensive strength and technology, it did not have the ability to explore this area.
If there really was a huge internal space within the peaks outside the Dinglong Mountains, the origin of the eyeless monster in the cave would have to be explained.
