Chapter 17: Strange World

I didn’t know whether this person was telling the truth or deliberately fooling us. After I regained my breath, I began to observe the mummy. The first thing I noticed was that it was not an ancient corpse because it was wearing the clothes of modern people. The skin of the corpse was pale.

, the muscles were all shriveled up, leaving only a piece of human skin sticking to the bones. When I saw the face of the corpse, I vaguely felt a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly

He said "Ahhhh".

"Here, I've seen this person..." Although the body was a little shriveled, but because its skin was intact, I quickly recognized it. It was the one who opened the door for me among the local dogs at the Yanjing Hotel that day.

That big guy.

After hearing what I said, Peanut was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly, "It seems that your father and his gang are in a bad situation. I'm afraid we don't have much time."

"Then, how did this person die? If we go in like this, I'm afraid..." The fear Lao Tan showed at this moment is understandable. If it weren't for the fact that my father was dying, I would definitely not do it again.

Moving forward. Peanut said that it is possible to encounter anything in the ancient tomb. Now, I can finally understand a little bit of what he meant.

"There is no point in guessing how this person died. We can only be more careful..." Peanut said at the end and looked up at the dark roof of the cave.

We took one last look at the body, then continued walking into the darkness.

For this outdoor adventure, Lao Tan and I specially selected this powerful De [***] flashlight in Yanjing. However, in this cave, I found that the range that the flashlight can illuminate is very small. It seems that the surrounding area is very small.

In addition to the darkness, there was also a layer of fog that we couldn't see. After discovering the body just now, Peanut looked up more frequently. I think he might have guessed something, or maybe he didn't want to burden us, so

He didn't say anything. Moreover, even if he did, laymen like me and Lao Tan wouldn't be able to help much.

Therefore, the next road is not so much about overcoming the dangerous environment around me, but more about fighting against the fear in my heart.

As I walked, I suddenly felt that the surroundings became empty, and I could faintly hear the echo of a few people's footsteps. At the same time, there were fewer and fewer gravels on the ground, and finally I found myself stepping on flat stone slabs.

"How big is this place?" I asked, shining my flashlight around, but I couldn't see the edge of this space, not even the rocks above my head.

"Lao Yuan, don't you think the temperature here is too low?" Lao Tan said and began to rub his arms.

I also noticed this, because I felt that this place is deep in the mountains and does not see sunlight all year round, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

"The cold here is indeed a bit abnormal. Let's shoot a flash bomb first to check." Peanut said while looking around.

As soon as he heard that he was going to shoot flash bombs, Lao Tan became excited. This kid wanted to shoot a flash bomb in the park when he was purchasing equipment, but I stopped him from doing it. When Peanut told me, I

Knowing that Lao Tan must do it by himself.

So, I took out the flash bomb and launch gun from my backpack, and Lao Tan couldn't wait to grab it, "Damn it, I finally waited until this time."

"**That's what I wanted to do. Let me tell you, none of us have ever used this thing before, or..." Before I could finish speaking, Lao Tan suddenly raised the launcher and shot towards it in an instant.

Diagonally ahead of us, we pulled the trigger.

After the flash bomb was chambered, it emitted a dazzling light in the blink of an eye. I originally wanted to kick the kid, but as the things in front of me were gradually illuminated by the flash bomb, I quickly stayed on the spot.

I have to say that Lao Tan's shot was quite beautiful, but it was precisely because of the complete release of the flash bomb that I was completely shocked by what I saw. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.

There is such a magnificent scene hidden in a mountain whose name I don't even know.

The surrounding area is ten times larger than I imagined. Under our feet is a huge square paved with stone slabs. Our location is more than a hundred meters away from the nearest rock wall on the left. Six poles are erected around the square.

There are huge round stone pillars, each of which is thirty meters high, and my visual inspection is seven or eight meters high. A giant face is carved on the top of those stone pillars, which is very simple and can make people fearful.

What stands in front of us is a magnificent city tower. Under the illumination of the flash bomb, the entire city tower appears khaki, very wide, and very complete. If this kind of building were placed anywhere in ancient times, it would be

It is definitely an indestructible fortress. But it happens to be here, in a cave whose origin no one knows.

What made the three of us even more frightened was that just two or three meters in front of us, there was a cliff. This cliff, which was ten meters wide and as long as the city tower, was obviously a moat. If Peanut hadn't told us to stop,

Come down and fire the flare, who knows if we will fall down.

The flash bomb finally fell into the moat, and after disappearing for a while, there was a sudden splash of water from the moat. The three of us were horrified by the scene in front of us. After half a minute, Peanut finally

The first one felt something was wrong.

He picked up the flashlight and walked to the edge of the moat, and Lao Tan and I followed closely behind.

"There is water here. Is it connected to a river or a spring?" Peanut said.

I cautiously looked into the moat. The first thing I saw was a burst of white mist, and at the same time, a biting coldness came from inside. Then, I saw the flashlight reflected on the water surface.

"It's weird, why is the water so cold on this hot day?" I asked.

"Either there is an ice cellar down here, or there is something extremely cold inside the tower." After Peanut said that, he stood up and looked at the huge stone pillar in front of the rock wall.

At this time, Lao Tan said to me: "I didn't see the suspension bridge just now, how can we get across?"

"Really?" I stood up immediately and looked aside with my flashlight. The range of the flashlight's light was limited, so Lao Tan and I walked straight along the moat. As Lao Tan said, there was actually something on the moat.

There is no passage. "What should I do? Do I have to swim across the river?"

As I said that, I couldn't help but lower my head and look down again. There was at least a thirty-meter drop between the river and where we were standing. It was not impossible to jump down desperately, but who knew how deep the water was? If the water was only half a meter,

Then jumping would be tantamount to committing suicide. However, if you don't do this, there seems to be no way out.

Just as he was anxious and didn't know what to do, Peanut's voice came from behind him. "Don't think about it. Even if we jump and survive, we will never be able to climb up. I guess there must be some mechanism." As he said, Peanut

Suddenly he looked at me seriously and said, "Also, don't run around like this in the future. If I can't see you, if something happens, I won't be able to save you in time."

To be honest, I was not very happy to be reminded like this by someone who may be younger than me. But thinking about what he said, the danger level of the surrounding environment is definitely not comparable to that of wild adventures. My husband and I

A layman like Tan can only survive if he is careful at all times.

Lao Tan was more direct than me, "Hey, we are not children. Don't talk about this. If you say there is a mechanism, then I really don't believe it. What mechanism can create a bridge of more than ten meters."

Peanut grinned and did not answer. Then, he began to search back and forth on the edge of the moat, as if he wanted to find clues that might hide the mechanism.

"Small..." Lao Tan was still muttering with a dissatisfied look on his face. I patted him and asked him to look around.

While searching, I asked Peanut why the tower appeared in the cave.
