"Giggle..."
Ye Qiong gently slid the long bone crystal knife in his hand over the unknown gray-brown objects on the right wall of the cave.
With the sharpness and toughness of the bone crystal sword, it was easy to cut several long marks on it.
The few soldiers on the periphery were still on alert. Huahuangji and the few soldiers around him looked towards Ye Qiong.
The surrounding environment was very empty. Apart from the wall in front of him, nothing else could be seen as darkness fell.
Ye Qiong took out a fire stick from his waist, blew it on, and then followed the light of the fire stick and looked into the gray-brown gaps. He found that it was not a metal structure inside, but was still gray.
So after getting rid of the rust, he continued walking along the wall for about ten meters before Ye Qiong led everyone to a stop.
Based on where everyone is now, if they continue to walk inside, they can only use the light of fire folders and torches to move forward. However, the brightness of the light emitted by these two things is limited.
Ye Qiong stopped and waved his hand to a soldier behind him: "Give me a lantern arrow..."
The middle-aged warrior in front, whom Ye Qiong called Uncle Wolf, immediately took out an arrow that was one size thicker than an ordinary iron arrow from the quiver on his back.
It is the lantern arrow that has been improved several times in the tribe!
Ye Qiong took the lantern arrow and did not use a fire breaker to ignite it. Instead, he directly opened a wooden lid in the middle of the lantern arrow.
After taking down the bone crystal long bow, he gently placed the lantern arrow with its wooden cover on the bowstring of the bone crystal long bow.
"Buzz...whoosh..."
Accompanied by the slight trembling sound of the bone crystal longbow and the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the lamp arrow was directly shot out by Ye Qiong using the bone crystal longbow.
After a moment, a yellow heart of fire appeared in the sky in front of everyone!
It is the kind of light that a fire extinguisher emits after it is blown hard.
The yellow arc of light rushed deeper into the cave...
"Bang!"
As the speed of the arrow stabilized, the yellow light suddenly erupted into a flame flower, dragging a long tail and continuing to move deeper into the cave.
The eyes of Ye Qiong and everyone around him were following the beam of fire, moving inside.
I knew that Huozhezi finally fell to the ground.
Far away on the ground...
If they look from Ye Qiong's side to that side, they can only see the beam of fire on the lantern arrow.
"It's quite deep..." Ye Qiong looked at the fire in the distance and muttered softly.
"Let's go, keep going in and taking a look." Ye Qiong looked at Qing Zhi, then looked back at Hua Huang Ji and the soldiers. After saying that, he continued to walk in.
After a while, I arrived in front of the lantern arrow.
The lamp arrow was inserted diagonally into the ground at an angle of about forty degrees. The grease lamp in the center of the arrow body was burning quietly at the moment.
With the current tribal production technology, the lamp arrows produced can continue to burn for two hours.
Yes, the time has been shortened and the overall size has also been reduced, but the size and brightness of the flames have been greatly improved!
The lantern arrow is originally used for emergencies, so in terms of burning time, two hours is enough, or even long enough.
What needs to be developed now is brightness.
As long as the brightness is sufficient and the arrow body is not large, if you want to obtain longer-lasting brightness, just carry a few more.
However, Ye Qiong's requirements are definitely more than that. Lantern arrows are still very important to the tribe. In the absence of modern light sources, the development of lantern arrows means that the tribe can carry out cave exploration at a feasible depth.
Therefore, there must be more types of lantern arrows. For example, this kind of lantern arrow that burns brightly, but lasts a shorter time, and is more portable, is a new product.
The old lamp arrows, which burn stably, last for a long time and are larger in size, have not been eliminated and are still developing.
Which light arrow to use depends on the specific environment.
Qing Zhi and the soldiers followed Ye Qiong to the seemingly lonely lantern arrow.
Everyone is a little nervous in this environment. In the big hole, no one knows what will suddenly appear in the next second.
Where everyone is now, there is no external light source at all. If the torches and light arrows on the ground are blown out, they will immediately enter an environment where they can't see their fingers!
Ye Qiong waved his hand at Uncle Lang, who immediately took out another lantern arrow from the quiver on his back.
"Giggle..."
After twisting open the wooden cover in the middle of the lamp arrow, Ye Qiong placed it on the bone crystal long bow and shot it deeper into the hole with a whooshing sound.
In fact, compared with modern light sources, the lantern arrows made by tribes sometimes have their own unique advantages.
For example, the light arrows shot out by Ye Qiong with bone crystal arrows can illuminate a very far area in disguise.
And after all, this thing is still an arrow, with an arrowhead. In an emergency, it can be shot as a normal arrow!
The lethality is still very impressive!
"Whoosh...chirp..."
After the lantern arrow was shot out, the sound it made in the air became a bit harsh, especially in this large and empty hole. It sounded permeable, much like the eerie breathing sound.
When Ye Qiong heard the change in the sound of the lamp arrow, he couldn't help but frown slightly and clenched the bone crystal long knife in his hand.
As another small yellow flame appeared above the lamp arrow, it was originally just a red star point in the sky, but now it turned into a beam of silvery-yellow light, speeding towards the deeper part of the big hole.
"昘!"
After the lantern arrow drew a bright arc in the large hole, it finally landed on the ground. As a small flame swayed and rose, the scene in the distance suddenly became clear to everyone.
The big empty hole still hasn't reached the end...
This scene reminded Ye Qiong of the void space on the left side of the waterfall cave.
This is how I feel when I stand on the floating bridge and shoot light arrows into the empty space.
However, unlike the floating bridge, the place where Ye Qiong and the others are standing is on the ground, so in terms of security alone, the floating bridge cannot be compared.
So Ye Qiong had no intention of stopping this time.
As long as your feet are still on the ground, you have a strong ability to protect yourself in such an empty hole.
Judging from the current comprehensive combat power of Ye Qiong, Qing Zhi, and the surrounding warriors, even if they encounter a king-level monster, the elementary one can easily kill it, and the intermediate king beast can be killed with a little effort. Killed.
Even if he was unlucky enough to encounter a late-stage Warcraft of the King, Ye Qiong was confident that he could safely evacuate with Qing Zhi and the soldiers while armed with bone crystal weapons.
The team didn't stop at all, and walked toward the bright fire deeper into the cave!
