Chapter 574: Earth Tide (Second Update)
Those guards brought back a lot of valuable things.
Because, they found traces of people living here.
Those guards brought back some bones that were about to be fossilized, but Su Peng could still recognize them at a glance, these bones were definitely human bones.
"Leader Su Peng, there are such bones everywhere here, they seem to be human bones, but it looks like these people have been attacked by something, and they are dead everywhere."
The little leader of the guards, who went to search for these bones, said to Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded, he took a look at the bones of these human beings who were about to be fossilized, and found that these bones were not very large, and they seemed to be a little shorter than ordinary people.
"Maybe that's the characteristics of the people of this group here, right?"
Su Peng thought so in his heart, judging from the size of the bones, it seems that they are all people of the same race, which is very different from the current people of the Western Regions, of course, this may also be caused by long-term malnutrition.
And some of the other things that were searched out were some somewhat rotten weapons, but there were a small number of weapons, which were the kind of materials unique to this underground city that Su Peng had seen, and they had not decayed for thousands of years.
Looking at this fortress-like city, Su Peng could already conclude that this should be the outpost city fortress built by the people of the cities above.
"Let's go, go out and see...... That President Yang Xi's people should have already left here, and the sound of the mechanism we heard above before was the sound of them using this lifting platform to enter the underground. ”
Su Peng glanced at the environment here and said to the people under him.
The leader of Adullahunro and the others thought the same, and after a little rest, they continued to march underground.
Su Peng and the others walked out of this underground outpost fortress and walked outside.
This outpost fortress is not very large, Su Peng and the others walked for a while and went outside, but they saw that outside, it turned out to be a very empty underground plain. It seems that there is another layer of space underground, and I don't know what the geological origin of this place is.
Su Peng's ear is good, he listened vaguely, there seemed to be some sound of flowing water in front of him, and Su Peng led the team and walked in the direction where the sound was generated.
After walking for a while, Su Peng and the others found that the sound of the water in front of them was getting clearer and clearer, and he knew in his heart that sure enough, this should be the underground water source of the entire city.
It's just that Su Peng still has a slight doubt. That is, if the water source is in such a deep place, those who live underground, if they do not have a special mechanism to get water when they usually live, will it be a little troublesome?
However, Su Peng was not particularly worried about the ancients, he walked over with the team, and soon, he came to a special plain.
"Huh? How is this terrain here? ”
When Su Peng came here, he found that the terrain he was in was extremely peculiar.
The terrain here is like a giant cheese. In the ground of this underground plain, there are many huge and bottomless holes.
The smallest of these holes is about the size of a football. And the big hole, even as big as a crater on the moon, was almost bigger than the lake that Su Peng had just encountered.
Between these holes, there are many places for people to walk. A wide place, even if Su Peng lined up the team horizontally, he could easily walk away, a narrow place. But it can also accommodate ten or twenty people walking side by side.
However, although it can be used for people to walk, it takes a lot of courage and a strong heart to walk in this area, because these holes look bottomless, and the inside is pitch black, which is extremely terrifying...... It makes people feel that a giant dragon suddenly flew out of it, which is also a normal thing.
The rest of this piece is extremely wide in front, and the terrain where those holes are located is more than twenty meters lower than where Su Peng is now, but you can walk down the rocky slope, and the rock slope seems to have been dug by manpower, and it seems that those ancient people often entered this area.
"Brother Su, should we walk through this area?"
Seeing such a strange terrain here, Ouyang Qing was beside Su Peng and asked Su Peng.
Su Peng looked here, but he didn't feel particularly dangerous in his heart, and he could hear that although the sound of running water was very deep from here, it should be a deep place under those holes.
"Commander Adullah, I heard that you are also very good at tracking, did you find out which direction the people we are tracking are coming from?"
Su Peng didn't answer Ouyang Qing's question for the time being, but asked Adula.
Adullah listened, twitched his nose a few times, and said, "They must have passed through this area somewhere." ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Su Peng saw Adulla's twitching nose, felt curious, and asked him.
I saw Adullah smile and said, "I often walk in the desert, and my nose is trained to look like a camel...... Although I can't smell the water source dozens of miles away, I have no problem with the range of more than ten miles, and I smell the fragrance of some women's incense powder in the air. ”
Su Peng listened to it and couldn't help but be happy, remembering that he had watched a remastered version of the movie called "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", and the protagonist in the new version of the movie seemed to have this ability, and could smell the body fragrance of a special woman within a range of several kilometers.
However, the protagonist in the movie is a handsome foreign guy, although Adula's appearance is quite manly, but it has nothing to do with handsome guys, but I didn't expect to have this ability.
"Well, since you're so sure, you can't be wrong to think about it, and since they've walked through this area, we're not afraid of anything...... Let's go through this place to find a place that seems to be a narrow distance. ”
Su Peng smiled slightly and said to Adullah.
Adullah nodded, he touched his nose and said, "If you can trust me, let me get out of the way, and I can follow the scent all the way to find them." ”
"It's been so hard."
Su Peng nodded and said, but with a hint of a smile, Adulla looks like this, he is really hardworking, and he really uses himself as a police dog.
Adula received a definite reply, and he picked himself up, twitching his nose in the air, and walked ahead of the group.
Su Peng and the others led the team, followed Adura, and walked towards the bottomless hole like cheese.
In this way, Su Peng and the others walked to the hole area, walked on it for nearly twenty minutes, and also walked a certain distance.
At this time, Su Peng and the others were in a relatively narrow place in this hole area near the center, and when they walked here, suddenly, Su Peng and the others heard the entire hole area, and they all made a piercing sound like a whistle.
This sound came from all directions, and it felt more sharp and piercing than the whistle of an old-fashioned steam train, which not only made the guards hug their ears, but even Su Peng frowned slightly.
"What's going on?"
Su Peng looked around and asked.
No one around could answer, but immediately, Su Peng found out where the source of the sound was.
I only heard that in the cave area where Su Peng and the others were, there was a constant sound underground, as if something was gushing up from the ground.
Ouyang Qing listened for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and he said, "It's not good!" There's a lot of water coming up below! ”
At this time, Su Peng also heard this voice, and his face changed slightly.
The sound was similar to the sound of the tide, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that a large amount of water was rising from the ground, and it was rising from the holes to the top.
There were smart people among the guards behind, and they also screamed in surprise.
At this time, Su Peng and the others had already entered this hole area very deeply, and they had walked for about twenty minutes, and they were in the center at this time, no matter whether they were forward or backward, it was impossible to reach a relatively high place immediately.
If at this time, the underground is really flooded, then Su Peng and the others will be flooded immediately, maybe a few martial arts masters and Central Plains people can escape from Lu, these soldiers from Qiuzi Qiancheng, but they can't get out.
Whoever makes the Western Regions have so little water source, and the water sources and oasis lakes are also strictly controlled, it is impossible to give people the opportunity to go in and swim, the soldiers of the Western Regions are naturally landlubbers, and if anyone overflows, these guards will definitely die, and they will definitely be drowned.
These guards were not all fools, and soon someone realized this, and suddenly, a panic spread among the guards.
"Be quiet! What's the use of messing around! Give me all the silence! ”
Seeing these guards, the leader of Naganluo turned around and shouted, shouting at the guards behind.
Those guards themselves were a bit of a six-god master, and at this time, they listened to the shouts of the leader of Ganluo, and they were quieter.
Although these guards themselves couldn't swim, and if the water came up, they would have drowned, but at this time they were in the middle of the place, and they couldn't escape from the left and right anyway, but they didn't appear to be running in all directions.
And Su Peng, after thinking of what might happen, moved in his heart and shouted to the back: "Calm down!" It's not necessarily as bad as you think! ”
Su Peng and the others calmed down the escort team for a while, but the water under the ground did rise.
The water in the ground rose very quickly, and Su Peng estimated that these holes were thousands of meters deep, but for some reason, the water level below began to rise like a rising tide, and the height of thousands of meters actually rose quickly.
Soon, beside Su Peng and the others, some relatively narrow holes had begun to spray out fountain-like water jets.
This made these guards panic for a while, but Su Peng remained calm, looking at the large holes as wide as craters.
Soon, Su Peng found that the water level in those holes the size of large craters had risen to a height visible to the naked eye...... (To be continued......)
