Chapter 1242: Ancient City
Lin Ran felt that what he said was correct. The air inside was actually fresher than outside, which was unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
You must know that they are buried deep at the bottom of the lake.
However, according to the biological knowledge Lin Ran had learned before, it is said that 80% of the oxygen on the earth comes from seaweed.
There are no other fish in the lake, but there are a lot of algae and abundant aquatic plants.
Perhaps this is the reason why the air inside the ancient city is relatively circulated.
It does smell fishy.
Speech has become weak.
As they walked through the ancient city, they felt like they were walking through a village in a horror movie.
Because he was idle and bored, Wang Jinpeng asked: "What do you think this city is about? Is it originally built in a mountain?"
"How is it possible?" Since leaving primitive society, people have not had the habit of living in caves.
The biggest function of a residence is to protect it from wind and rain.
The cave has already provided corresponding functions, so building a house inside it is equivalent to taking off your pants and farting, which is unnecessary.
Lin Ran felt that it was most likely because of a geological movement.
The sudden natural disaster left local people unable to react.
Because they noticed that there were items similar to bowls and basins placed on the tables in some thatched houses.
There are still some debris inside, perhaps the former food has been completely weathered.
In the face of nature, human power is still too small.
"That's wrong." Lao Hei felt that something was wrong with the situation here.
To be honest, it's not like they haven't seen ruins where they had no time to take refuge.
No matter how much time passes, it is impossible not to leave a skeleton behind.
They explored a large number of thatched huts and found no traces of food but no bodies of any victims.
If it was really a natural disaster and they had no time to escape, how could they not see a single body.
"Maybe it's a tsunami or something?" Wang Jinpeng said, "I read in novels that when a tsunami comes, people will run away with it and be swept away all at once."
Lin Ran smiled and said, "That shouldn't be the case. You must know that this is the highest terrain in China. If the tsunami reaches this height, it will definitely not happen in the past 2000 years."
During the Ice Age, it was possible to reach this height.
There was indeed a mystery, and Lin Ran also kept it in mind.
Wang Jinpeng disagreed: "No matter what kind of natural disaster it was, it is already in the past. Let's go quickly. Let's see if there is anything valuable. If not, we might as well leave quickly."
The others were all lost in thought because of this strange thing. Wang Jinpeng's carelessness solved their confusion.
Anyway, the entrance has been found. As long as the signs are made and handed over to the national archaeological team, they should be able to find the answer from inside.
The top priority is to determine if there is any treasure inside, waiting for them to dig it out.
To bring the underground ruins to light.
Only then did Lin Ran feel that the ancient city was larger than he had imagined.
From the outside, this lake only covers two to three hundred square kilometers at most.
But they have been walking for more than ten minutes, and they haven't reached the end yet.
Even if you are rowing, you should reach the other side.
There is only one possibility. They are not moving straight forward, but at some angle, whether they are moving up or down.
Moreover, from the inside, the existence of Jiuyan Shale is not felt at all.
Are they really in the mountain now?
With all kinds of doubts, they continued to move forward.
At this moment, Lao Hei suddenly looked back.
He suddenly turned around and even carried away some wind noises.
This action startled the people next to him.
"Old Hei, what are you doing?"
Lao Hei looked serious, looked at the darkness behind him, and said, "Why do I feel like something is following us?"
It is really inconvenient to carry a searchlight.
Lao Hei took off his hood and put it in his hand as a flashlight.
But when I looked over, I didn't see any movement.
"You are too sensitive." Wang Jinpeng laughed, "Why didn't I hear any sound?"
Although Wang Jinpeng has a carefree personality, he is indeed extremely sensitive and can quickly detect danger.
Lin Ran also looked serious, "Jin Peng, let's stop chatting and stay silent."
Lin Ran also had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but it was just an intuition.
His hearing was very sensitive and he heard no sound.
But he felt very nervous, as if something was staring at him from behind.
In this open and closed environment, it is indeed easy to become nervous.
But it's better to be cautious.
"I think it might be because we were fighting upside down underwater for the first time." Wang Jinpeng still felt that others were suspicious.
It is indeed their first time to explore in this environment, and it is normal for them to encounter situations they have not encountered before.
If it weren't for the outrageous things he had seen before, Lin Ran would have felt that he was too sensitive.
But now, he vaguely felt that these phenomena were somewhat abnormal.
Lin Ran's doubts were also seen by Lao Hei.
Lao Hei took out the throwing knife and threw it into the darkness.
A thud.
The flying knife fell to the ground, echoing in the cave.
Then he frowned and said: "There should be nothing. Such a small sound will be amplified. If someone is following behind, we should be able to hear it."
"What if it's not a human being?" Wang Jinpeng suddenly asked.
The others were suddenly startled, especially Xu Ning.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jinpeng burst out laughing in an instant and said with a smile: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Isn't it what you want to explore? Why do you feel so sad?"
Lin Ran felt a little speechless, but Wang Jinpeng was right.
Now that they are all here, there is no point in worrying.
"Just be prepared." Lin Ran asked them to take out their weapons.
Wang Jinpeng is actually best at using shovels and shovels, but he came here diving this time and couldn't bring the equipment with him.
He could only clench his fists and grit his teeth and said, "I want to see who is not afraid of death and dares to challenge Grandpa Jinpeng."
The others were silent.
Mainly because there is nothing to say and everyone is worried.
The scene he encountered in the ancient tomb was too scary. Lin Ran would have thought it was an illusion.
But the injuries on their bodies told themselves that everything really happened.
This place also looks very strange, and I don’t know what dangers there may be.
However, even though they were on tenterhooks, no one proposed retreat.
Unable to withstand Wang Jinpeng's repeated threats, Lin Ran said, "Okay, let's stop talking and concentrate on our journey."
