Release that Witch - Chapter 1149
[Chapter 1123 Coffin Underground]
Rex, who had been waiting here for a long time, stretched out two fingers, first pointing to the top of his head, and then pointing to the depths of the water hole.
Simbady made an understanding gesture.
The former nodded, turned around and walked towards the cave.
He raised his head and stared at the air pipe suspended above the opponent’s head. In addition to being familiar with the basic operation of diving suits, the three-day underwater walking was also a process of learning sign language and diving details.
Among them, observing the status of the two trachea at any time is the most important thing, which is one of the reasons why salvage requires the cooperation of two people.
As a channel for maintaining breathing, the other end of the leather tube is connected to an air pump driven by a steam engine, which pumps air while filling it in, so that the air in the helmet is always kept unobstructed.
No matter which pipe is broken or blocked, the consequences are disastrous.
Therefore, special attention must be paid when crossing complex terrain and changing direction.
Seeing that there was no obstacle on the top of the cave that could threaten the gas pipeline, Simbady also took a leap and got into the water cave.
The surge sound in his ears suddenly subsided a lot, and he could clearly hear the hissing sound from the valve and his own heartbeat.
After walking about ten meters, the light became more and more dim. Looking at the blurred back of Rex in front of him, he felt as if he was walking into the abyss.
At this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly lifted up, changing from a flat road to a gentle slope.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Simbady saw the sea again. It was no longer shining with golden light, but was as quiet as night.
As Rex slowly emerged from the water, he couldn’t help holding his breath, only to see a huge cave in front of the two of them.
Most of its silhouette is hidden in the darkness, only a small area of the dome is illuminated by the light reflected by the sea water, revealing a faint blue swaying with sparkling light.
This water hole turned out to be a passage connecting the inside and the outside?
He struggled to climb ashore and was about to take off his helmet, but was stopped by Rex.
The Fjordman took out a waterproof oil lamp from his pocket, lit the wick and observed for a while before taking off his helmet, “Huh… it seems that this is not a dead place.”
“Is there… wind?” Simbady immediately felt the coolness passing over his cheeks after removing the hood.
“Well, there are probably other exits in the cave.” Rex said excitedly, “In this way, the possibility of finding treasures here is a little higher. Our luck is really good.”
Simbady is not very interested in finding good things, he is more concerned about the safety of the cave.
I didn’t expect that there would be a hollow terrain under the desert, which is simply beyond common sense.
The depth they dived would not exceed twenty meters, and even if there was a rock formation, it would not be too thick. How did the loose sand support a large cave?
Will the dome collapse?
These questions made him a little uneasy.
After going out, it’s better to report this discovery to the people of Graycastle, Simbady thought to himself, although I feel a little sorry for the Odd Objects Society, but this place is not far from Daqing Port, he doesn’t want any accidents to happen.
“The wind seems to be coming from that direction,” Rex put the helmet by the pool, lifted the oil lamp and said, “Let’s go and have a look.”
Simbady had no choice but to pull out his waist knife and followed slowly.
However, as the exploration deepened, he only felt that the cave became more and more strange.
It didn’t take long for the rock under my feet to turn into soft soil, and then clusters of green grass replaced the slippery moss, as if this was not the underground, but an oasis in Yinchuan.
“It’s unbelievable that green leafy plants can grow here,” Rex exclaimed. “I thought there would only be mushrooms and moss in the dark ground.”
“How about… let’s go back first,” Simbady hesitated, “I always feel that here”
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly froze.
“What do you think is wrong here?” Rex didn’t get an answer for a long time, and couldn’t help but look back, “Huh? What are you looking at… a flower?”
Simbady felt short of breath, and there was a beautiful little flower blooming at his feet, the petals were lavender, and the leaves were almost as thin as a cicada’s wings, as if they would shatter if squeezed lightly.
“This is…the flower of the envoy…”
“Very rare?”
“No…it used to be everywhere.” Simbady whispered, “Although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but in the legend about the messengers of the three gods, this kind of flower is all over the coast, like a purple ribbon In general, it is also the most beautiful sea of flowers in the extreme south.”
“In the desert…is there a sea of flowers?” Rex asked in a daze.
“It is said that this place was not a desert a long time ago, but full of trees, grasslands and rivers like the north.” He shook his head, “However, with the departure of the three gods’ envoys, the land gradually turned into desert and became what it is today. But What I want to say is not that there is a very detailed description in the legend of the flower of the angel. Once it takes root, it can no longer be moved. This is why there is no flower sea in the oasis. It should have been extinct long ago…”
“So there is such a thing.” The fjord man smacked his lips. “Perhaps it is because the desertification did not affect the underground cavity, so that the flower that happened to be rooted here survived.”
Is that really the case… The sense of strangeness in Simbady’s heart became more and more intense. For some reason, walking in this dark world, he felt like walking on an oasis.
And the surrounding purple flowers gradually became denser, not like the ones that grew underground by accident.
Just when he was hesitating whether to continue moving forward, there was a soft “click” sound under his feet.
Then a soft light bloomed from the soil, illuminating a range of several meters.
“What’s going on?” Rex asked in surprise.
“I…I seem to have stepped on something,” Simbady swallowed, “it seems like a plank.”
“Could it be a trap?” He quickly bent down and stroked the flowers and plants beside his feet with his hands, “This is ha, ha ha… ha ha ha…”
Hearing the laughter echoing in the cave, Simbady felt his hairs stand on end, “What’s so funny, hey, tell me what it is first!”
“Hahaha, it’s a treasure! We found the treasure!” Rex said excitedly, “Look quickly!”
When he pushed away all the soil, Simbady was surprised to see that the light came from the thing under his feet. It was a half-buried “stone tablet” with countless lines spreading on it, as dense as fingerprints. .
The rays of light shot out around his feet, making the stele look like white jade against the background.
But although it looks hard, it feels like rotten wood, and it will sink a little with a little force, which is completely beyond the scope of common sense.
What’s even more incredible is that once the foot is removed, the surface of the UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com stele will gradually return to its original shape, and at the same time the light will dissipate, as if everything I saw just now was an illusion.
“Is there any more magical treasure than this!” Rex stepped on the “stone tablet” repeatedly, and said happily, “If I can dedicate this to the King of Graycastle, I will definitely be the honorary explorer title!”
“But…it’s too big,” Simbady wondered. Judging from the small piece exposed, the “stone tablet” as a whole is likely to be larger than the two of them combined. Moving out of here is no easy task.
“The solution comes from people’s ideas. As long as you use your brains, you will definitely find a way. Or we can find another exit of the cave?” Rex suddenly stopped, “There seems to be another piece there.”
Simbady followed his gaze and took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he stepped on the same “stone tablet”.
With the light it emits, more gray and white silhouettes appear in the sea of flowers.
“There is this, there is also that…” The two walked along these steles for tens of meters, counting the number silently at first, but quickly dismissed the idea.
In just a short distance, the Angel Flower has been covered by more and more steles, and no matter where they land, there will be light shining.
Until a huge wall blocked in front of the two of them.
“My gosh…” Rex gasped.
Simbady also felt a bit of chill, and he slowly raised his head. Under the soft light, the outline of the stone wall was revealed little by little.
They found that it was not a “wall”, but a hill formed by countless monuments.
Some of them are incomplete, some are broken into several pieces, but most of them are shaped like a square cuboid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are monuments.
But when they were stacked together, it gave Simbady another feeling.
The coffin that was buried.
