Chapter 1275: Climb over the wall and enter the palace
Strange things happened one after another, and the four of them couldn't help but feel a little scared when they looked at the dead city in front of them.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. We have already come here. Let's move on." Wang Jinpeng tried to encourage everyone.
"That's right." Lao Hei reluctantly cheered up. No valuable goods were found in the ancient city under the lake. This city looks much more advanced than that ancient city. There might be some treasures hidden here.
That way it wouldn't be in vain for him to come.
But they all knew in their hearts that this city would appear unexpectedly, and it would definitely not be simple inside.
Lin Ran naturally knew that he might encounter danger if he continued walking, but now there was no way out.
Even if they go back and return to the lake through the lost city, they will still have a narrow escape.
You have come here, but to return empty-handed is simply embarrassing to yourself, and no one is willing to accept it.
Wang Jinpeng walked in front of the team with a flashlight on.
They only have one idea in mind now, find the treasure.
Treasures are illusory and may not exist, but in this environment, they can stimulate their potential.
Even Lao Hei had no intention of giving up.
They had no idea how to re-explore an abandoned city.
It was Lin Ran who gave the suggestion, shining the flashlight forward.
All I saw was pitch black ahead, and I couldn't see clearly at all.
But if you look carefully, you can still see some outlines.
Lao Hei's mouth grew into an O shape because an unexplainable situation occurred in front of him.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that there would be such a tall palace building underground.
The palace below is just a bungalow with relatively luxurious decoration.
This palace, like a real palace, stands to the east of the staircase exit.
There was actually a slight light here, so Lin Ran could detect where the palace was.
He was also surprised that there was a 20m high palace building underground.
If he hadn't looked up and could see the top, he would have thought that they had reached the surface world.
It is very difficult to build buildings underground.
Not only building materials are needed, but enough building space must be left.
A 20m high cave is inherently difficult to find, and if it is dug manually, it will be even more difficult to reach the sky.
They checked the weapons they carried again, and moved directly towards the palace without any hesitation.
The streets were deserted and all the stone houses were closed.
No one suggested going into the stone house to look for supplies. It looked too scary.
None of them wanted to get separated from the team. Xu Ning, who was walking at the end, said nothing but pressed his body against Lin Ran in front.
The only thing this tough guy from the prairie is afraid of is supernatural phenomena.
The scene before him couldn't help but make him think of terrible things.
The road was also very quiet, no different from the steps he had climbed before.
But now there are more buildings on both sides.
"It feels like I came directly from primitive society to feudal society." Lin Ran laughed at himself.
The surrounding stone houses not only have more high-end building materials, but also have two floors, which obviously has transcended an era.
Moreover, there are some jars in front of the building, which seem to be used to store water or food.
But it's in tatters and doesn't have much collection value.
Judging from the buildings on both sides, the residents here should live a more upscale life than the residents below.
Wang Jinpeng said: "Brother Lin, do you think this is an underground city? It's just that some people can live on this level, but the worst group of people can only live on the bottom level?"
Because Wang Jinpeng felt that although these buildings looked more high-end, compared with the buildings below, their styles were the same.
Especially the fact that there are no windows.
Lin Ran was noncommittal. He had not come into contact with research materials on underground cities, but since the altitude here was high and there were many mountains, Wang Jinpeng's guess was not impossible.
The lake may have been formed the day after tomorrow. Long before this, people had already lived in the underground city.
"You mean there is a cemetery down there, and this is where people live?" Lao Hei added.
This explanation was somewhat reasonable, and Lin Ran nodded.
The patterns on the murals may not be King Zhou of Shang, but people of the same period. After all, they lived in the same era and probably had similar ideas.
While chatting, they had arrived at the gate of the palace.
It turned out that the gate of this palace was just a decoration, and the outline of the gate was drawn. The real gate was only the four-meter-high stone gate in front of me.
Blocking their way, there was no way out.
Wang Jinpeng glanced at Xu Ning: "Can you climb up here?"
Xu Ning shook his head: "My arm is injured and I can't climb up."
"That would be troublesome." Wang Jinpeng scratched his head. The appearance of this palace undoubtedly rejected his previous idea.
Because only dead people don't need to open the door.
He stepped forward and took a look, wanting to push the stone door open.
But the stone door didn't move at all, it was obviously fixed.
It should be something like sealing tombstones, but there is no cornice design here, so I don't know how it was fixed.
Wang Jinpeng took out his knife and wanted to repeat his old trick, first removing the adhesive and other materials that sealed the stone gate.
As a result, the knife couldn't be inserted at all, and the seal was very tight.
Lin Ran also stepped forward to check: "This is a death door."
It's completely blocked, and there's no way to open it from the outside, except with bombs or brute force.
Unfortunately, they have neither on hand.
"How about we go to other places to see?" Wang Jinpeng said.
Anyway, their purpose was to find another exit, and when they saw the palace, they just wanted to try their luck.
It was just bad luck that the palace was not opened.
They could go in another direction and maybe find an exit.
Lao Hei took a look and said, "If the front cannot be opened, how about we go over and take a look from above?"
This idea was immediately rejected by Wang Jinpeng.
"Xu Ning is already injured and he can't climb up."
"He can't crawl, but I can." Lao Hei spat on his hand.
He saw the city wall, which was about 10m high.
With his skills honed over years of going to the tomb, it was not difficult to climb up.
Wang Jinpeng and Lao Hei both looked at Lin Ran, and the final decision still rested with him.
Lin Ran was a little confused, but he felt that there were some secrets hidden in the palace and it was worth a try.
"Old Hei, you can go, but you must pay attention to safety."
Now Xu Ning has been seriously injured. Lao Hei and Wang Jinpeng just don't say it on the surface, but in fact there must be some physical discomfort.
Can't be forced.
Lao Hei smiled: "A wall of this size is nothing to be afraid of."
After saying that, he climbed up like a monkey.
