Fork in the road...
The grease lamp was still burning. Before leaving, the soldiers had adjusted the brightness of the grease lamp to the minimum.
It can illuminate a range of more than ten meters around it, but if you look in this direction from a distance, as long as there is no obstruction in the middle, you can see the burning wick on the grease lamp even from more than ten kilometers away.
The brightness of the grease lamp has been enhanced, and it is still very eye-catching when viewed from a distance.
Ye Qiong and the soldiers continued to move forward in the cave, and the width of the cave became larger and larger as the team went deeper!
What no one realizes is that the overall direction of the team seems to have changed!
When the team first entered, the entrance of the cave was facing the Dinglong Mountains, which was towards the east.
Therefore, Ye Qiong and the others initially headed towards the west, towards the Xufeng Mountains.
And this direction is not straight, but has an arc...
An arc that cannot be felt by human perception!
As they continued to move forward from the rightmost fork, the direction of the team had begun to tilt toward the Dinglong Mountains, and the height of the cave where the team was located began to gradually decrease instead of gradually increase!
This is an arc, as if it is knotted, allowing the team to go from the side of the cliff directly to the 10,000-meter peak outside the Dinglong Mountain Range!
However, Ye Qiong and the soldiers who were still in the cave at this moment did not realize this. Everyone still felt that they were heading towards the Xufeng Mountains.
Ye Qiong even imagined that maybe...
This cave is connected to some ancient caves in the hinterland of the Xufeng Mountains. When he and the soldiers came out of the cave, Bao Buqi had already entered the hinterland of the Xufeng Mountains.
After all, the fantasy is just a fantasy. The team's current direction has changed to the direction of heading towards the Dinglong Mountains!
As the direction changes, the height and width of the cave are increasing...
It has grown from a diameter of more than ten meters at the beginning to tens of meters, and then to hundreds of meters now!
In a cave with a diameter of several hundred meters, what makes Ye Qiong and the soldiers a little puzzled is that they only saw some footprints of the Lielin Weasel on the ground, but did not find any Lielin Weasel. trace.
In addition to the footprints, another thing is that there are no traces of feces on the ground. This is a bit unusual. Doesn't this thing poop?
The huge cave is a natural cave structure and is very strong, so there is no need to worry about it suddenly collapsing.
"Young Patriarch...there seems to be something in front of you..."
As the cave became larger and larger, the figures of Ye Qiong and the soldiers inside the cave became smaller and smaller.
The light emitted by the grease lamp now makes it impossible to see the surrounding walls clearly...
In a cave of this size, Ye Qiong would not be surprised if there were lord-level monsters, let alone a king-level Lielin Weasel.
If a King Lielin Weasel hadn't suddenly appeared, Ye Qiong might not have led the team so deep. Now that King Lielin Weasel belongs to the pathfinder pioneer. If it were there, a higher level would appear in the cave. The possibility of Warcraft will be greatly reduced.
Just as Ye Qiong was thinking about it, judging from the size of this cave, it was no longer something he could explore with his current strength. If he wanted to continue exploring, he would have to mobilize troops from the central tribe!
At this time, it seems that it can be placed in winter...
If enough food and supplies can be stored outside, anyway...
Winter is quite free, so I can study this hole carefully. A hole with a diameter of several hundred meters and a terrifying length. All the people in the tribe can be moved here, and it seems that it can be easily accommodated.
In the past two days, I was able to calm down and think about many things in the cave.
Just when Ye Qiong was concluding at the back of the team and thinking about things, a soldier's shout suddenly came from the front.
Ye Qiong immediately retracted his mind, looked at the soldier, and then quickened his pace and walked over.
After Ye Qiong reached the front of the team, Ye Qiong had already seen the 'thing' in the distance without the soldier saying anything!
The light was dim, and in the light from the grease lamp, only a very vague figure of the thing could be seen, but what was certain was that this thing seemed very big!
"alert!"
After Ye Qiong gave a light drink, the team immediately entered a fighting state!
The longbows in the hands of several archers have already been nocked with arrows.
Regardless of what is on the other side, and without any instructions from Ye Qiong or Ye Tianling, as long as the soldiers feel the threat, they can shoot at the target immediately!
Although you can't shoot suddenly, the arrows fired by the longbows in the hands of the warriors are no weaker than ordinary bullets!
This time, those chosen by Ye Qiong to join them were all top-notch in the tribe in terms of their combat prowess and reaction abilities.
"Pfft...pfft..."
After the two fire sticks were blown on fire, two grease torches lit up directly on the left and right sides.
The light suddenly became a lot stronger, and the blurry thing in the distance now looked a little clearer.
When Ye Qiong and the soldiers continued to walk forward for about fifty meters, they finally determined what was ahead!
one……
To be precise, it is a...
City wall!
When the city wall in front of them was gradually revealed under the light, Ye Qiong and the soldiers began to feel excited and nervous.
This time, Ye Qiong led the team in. On the one hand, he came for the King Lielin Weasel. On the other hand, he wanted to find out how the fluctuations in the cave were generated.
What I never expected now was that a city wall would appear in front of me.
The current height of the entire cave is dozens of meters high. When the light from grease lamps and torches are superimposed, we can only see a rough outline.
After the city wall appeared in front of him, Ye Qiong's immediate thought was, is there someone inside?
Or is it?
The kind of tomb used to bury the dead?
If Ye Qiong were still on the earth now, then Ye Qiong would definitely feel that they must have entered some ancient tomb. Some princes, nobles, emperors and generals, under the trend of burial wind, always like to find some In the nook and cranny of the inaccessible corner, he buried himself and the treasures he had during his lifetime.
Those things that I didn’t bring with me when I was alive, I want to take away by force after death!
But this is not the earth after all. In this era, the problem faced by human beings is the ultimate problem of survival. Wealth has not yet been formed. There are many treasures, but no one will specialize in them after their death. They mobilized a large number of people to find someone to bury him.
So the most likely reason for the appearance of this city wall is that inside...
It is inhabited!
Now, or before, or even a long time ago...
As the team continued to move forward, the outline of the city wall became clearer and clearer.
Looking at the city wall with a height of about fifteen meters in front of him, Ye Qiong had stopped. The team was now less than thirty meters away from the city wall.
Now it can only be seen that the city wall extends to the left and right sides. The team is not in the center of the entire cave, but a little to the right.
If there is a city wall, then there must be a gate. After summing up, the team began to move to the right.
A few minutes later, a gate finally appeared on the city wall!
A...
In an instant, Ye Qiong's three views were shaken to pieces!
Word……
pattern……
That familiar feeling made Ye Qiong really unable to calm down, and his breathing began to speed up.
If you count the time.
Ye Qiong has actually been in this world, on the Snow Star, for nearly seventeen years. Since there are no sun, moon and stars on the Snow Star, the point of calculating time is still somewhat different from that on the Earth.
However, overall, there are many similarities, such as calculating the year based on the changes in seasons, and calculating the number of days and months based on the rising and falling of double stars and fixed stars.
If we really follow the earth's time calculation, then it has been more than twenty years.
The reason why Ye Qiong's outlook collapsed in an instant was that there were words and patterns on the gate...
If it were some incomprehensible words and patterns, Ye Qiong would definitely not take it seriously. After all, when he discovered the Naning tribe at the waterfall base, Ye Qiong didn't think it was anything. It was just an ancient tribe. It has its own meaning and time history.
But the problem is...
Now I can actually recognize the words and patterns on this door!
Can……
They are not the words and patterns of their own tribe, but also some totems.
But...
In my mind, there is another world, the previous life, that is...
The writing on that blue planet!
Not the blue mother star, but the earth!
On the gate, hieroglyphs that Ye Qiong can understand appeared!
And the pattern drawn on the gate is clearly a line...
dragon!
After the memory recovered, in fact, at the beginning, Ye Qiong always felt that he was still on the earth, but he might have traveled to an ancient time, that is, the tribal period.
Later, I saw the Snow Demon Wolf in the tribe, and also saw bear-like creatures such as Dakui and Guoguo.
All signs point to the connection between these creatures and the earth. Although the Snow Demon Wolf looks very different from a wolf, it is actually quite different.
It wasn't until he came back and grew up, learned the language of the tribe, and began to look up the history of the tribe. Coupled with the blue mother star and the accompanying double stars in the sky, Ye Qiong was sure that he was not on the earth!
There have always been many problems that puzzled Ye Qiong. For example, the species on Snow Planet, humans and some magical beasts seemed to be no different from those on Earth.
But those scavengers, as well as the eyeless monsters and sea beasts that appeared in the cave, were completely beyond Ye Qiong's understanding.
But when this door appeared in front of Ye Qiong, in just a moment, Ye Qiong felt that none of that mattered.
Because, there is a dragon pattern here!
Is there a dragon?
Are there any on earth? Are there any on Snow Star?
For Ye Qiong, the meaning of the dragon-shaped pattern is naturally extraordinary. Now, there is a dragon-shaped pattern on the door, and Ye Qiong's head feels like it is exploding.
The kind that blows up to nothing.
Wolf beasts, bear beasts, including horses and other species in the tribe, these species exist objectively in Ye Qiong's subconscious.
But when it comes to dragons, it's completely different, because it may not exist and represents a belief...
And this kind of belief appeared in Snow Star?
Appeared on top of this city wall that had been buried underground for who knows how many years.
Ye Qiong now suddenly felt that he, Ye Tianling, and the soldiers around him had entered some kind of scattered time and space, and now they were back on earth?
After all, people have traveled through time, and Ye Qiong can accept it, but if not, then...
Big trouble...
Time, space, meaning of consciousness, destiny...
All kinds of messy fragments of information were twisted together in Ye Qiong's brain. Ye Qiong seemed to have found a thread, but found that he had to untie the things threaded by the thread bit by bit. If If you apply force, the thread will be torn directly, and after a moment, everything will be meaningless.
"Young patriarch?"
Ye Qiong stood stunned in front of the newly appeared door. He had been stunned for several minutes. During this period, he did not move or even blink.
A soldier beside him was focused on the strange words and patterns in front of him at first, but it didn't take long before he noticed something unusual about Ye Qiong, so he asked in a low voice.
This shout immediately brought Ye Qiong's mind back from the realm of nothingness!
Ye Qiong waved his hand at the soldiers beside him, indicating that he was fine.
Ye Qiong's expression just now was indeed a bit crazy...
Ye Qiong shook his head violently a few times, then reached his right hand to his waist and pulled out a fire stick from his pocket.
"puff……"
He blew on the fire folding piece with a sudden breath, and the bright yellow flame immediately started to burn.
After the fire was burning, Ye Qiong raised his right hand high and walked directly towards the gate. At the same time, he asked the two soldiers holding torches to follow him, wanting to see clearly the words and characters engraved on the gate. pattern!
Ye Tianling and the soldiers around him naturally didn't think anything of these words and patterns. After all, they couldn't understand much. It was the dragon-shaped pattern that looked quite domineering, like some kind of strange beast...
As for Ye Qiong, compared with those hieroglyphics and the dragon-shaped pattern, the dragon-shaped pattern naturally has a stronger impact.
There's nothing I can do about it, this thing is already ingrained in my bones!
"dragon……"
Ye Qiong had already held up the fire folding piece as a light source, walked to the door, raised his head and looked at the pattern on the door.
The pattern was engraved and looked very old. Some traces of dark green could be seen in the fine gaps.
Ye Qiong tried hard to control his emotions and let the messy thoughts in his mind hide in the corner.
The most important thing now is to live in the present!
And now in front of him is a large stone door with a height of about five meters!
Above the stone gate...
A dragon-shaped pattern is carved!
What you see is what you get, Ye Qiong can only believe his eyes now...
"hiss!"
Ye Qiong gently touched the stone door with his right hand, then put his right hand down and pinched his right leg.
The severe pain hit me, proving that my current state was not an illusion or a dream...
