Chapter 67: Bone Pile
Generally speaking, the water level of underground lakes is constant, and there will be natural lakes or river drainage levels that are equivalent to the water level. The rise and fall will not be too large without strong rainfall.
In other words, if the water level shows a gradual upward trend, it means that it is raining outside and the underground river water poured into it is greater than the drainage water flow.
In this case, if it continues, it is very likely to flood all the space in the underground river channel.
Zhang Shuishu also saw the water level rise significantly, pushed his glasses on his nose and muttered: "Is it raining outside? It won't be flooded here."
After saying that, he quickly shook his head and denied himself. "No! The ancient building has stood here for hundreds of years and has never been flooded. It means that no matter how much the water level rises, it cannot be higher than the river embankment."
Seeing his analysis, Hu Shanshan and Hu Che agreed and gradually felt relieved.
Just feel at ease, when you watch the water level rise sharply, you will feel an inexplicable sense of urgency.
Hu Shanshan was a little worried, and pressed the walkie-talkie. Seeing that there was no reply from Uncle Er and his friends, her eyebrows collapsed. "Let's go back, Uncle Er said it's very dangerous here,"
Hu Che nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, and there is another stupid man who has already become a gang of people who have fought with us. If he runs back and shakes a group of people with a watermelon knife, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After saying that, the three of them cheered up and prepared to walk back.
But the way he came was blocked by this ancient building. Zhang Shuishu took the flashlight and looked at it, pointing in the opposite direction: "Let's go here! You should be able to walk along the river bank."
Looking back at the compass, the three of them walked forward on the hard rocks on the lake shore.
As he walked, Hu Che suddenly looked up and stopped and subconsciously looked back.
With Hu Che's eyes, Hu Shanshan also saw an incredible scene.
Just within the range limited by the light of the flashlight, on the other side of the underground lake, an exact Hongqiao ancient building stands tall and majestic.
Everyone quickly turned around and found it was not the previous building, and they felt incredible.
"Oh my God! It turns out that there are two ancient buildings here, and... exactly the same!"
Zhang Shuaishuai pushed the glasses on his nose, and was surprised and sighed: "Two ancient buildings are blocked on both sides of the river embankment, so it will be difficult for us to go back!"
At this time, everyone turned their attention to the lake. The lake water was rolling, and an iron chain as thick as a bowl connected the river bank to the center of the lake.
Hu Shanshan looked around and found that there was more than one such iron chain, and there was another one in dozens of steps, connecting the river bank and the center of the lake like a spider. There were several hanging iron chains on the top of her head. Each one was also as thick as a bowl. I don’t know how many years it took, and the iron chains had already been rusted, but because they were too thick, they still looked solid.
Hu Shanshan suddenly had a sudden idea and said that the iron chain might link the other side and could climb over.
Hu Che glanced at the rolling river water, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's better not to do this unless you have to. I heard that some undercurrents run through several continents. Maybe you will fall from here and then surface in Kensania."
Zhang Shuishu also comforted his goddess and said, "The ancient building in front may not be dangerous. If we cross it, there should be no major problems."
Hu Shanshan didn't comment, but could only nod and continue to move forward.
As he walked, Hu Che discovered something again, pointed to the middle of the lake and shouted: "Hey? Look, is there something hanging at the end of the chain?"
When we looked at each other, we saw something hanging at the center of the lake. The distance was too far and it was almost not in the water. We couldn't see clearly, but it should be a hexagonal object and it was not small in size.
Zhang Shuaishuai has poor eyesight and is difficult to see even with glasses.
Hu Shanshan squinted her eyes and looked at her for a long time, but she was not too interested, so she waved her hand: "Oh, no matter what he is, keep walking..."
She said as she walked forward first. When she passed by Zhang Shuishu, Zhang Shuishu suddenly called her: "Da Shanshan, there is something on your head."
Zhang Shuishu said that, he was about to reach out to pick it. Hu Shanshan thought it was a debris such as leaves and spider webs, but she didn't care. She paused and wiped it subconsciously.
At the same time, Zhang Shuishuan's hand, which was stretched out in the air, paused, rubbed his eyes, and found that what he had just seen suddenly disappeared.
Hu Shanshan turned around and looked at Zhang Shuishu with confusion: "What is it?"
Zhang Shuishu shook his head: "It's gone! Could it be that I was dazzled?"
Just when Hu Shanshan didn't take it seriously and glanced at Zhang Shuishu and turned his head to leave, Hu Che, who was beside him, stared at him and bit his tongue: "No... it's not dazzling, I saw it too."
Hu Che looked at Hu Shanshan and swallowed his throat with difficulty: "I saw that it was a red thing tied to your hair, as if it was... a comb."
Zhang Shuishu was in a daze and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's the red comb, which looks very similar to the one placed in the golden bowl."
Hu Shanshan was in a bad mood. She subconsciously touched her hair and was sure there was nothing. She felt a little relieved: "You two join forces to scare me, right? OK, very good, I'm very revengeful, I'll tell you."
Hu Shanshan turned around angrily, trying to expand her anger to fight the fear, which seemed deliberate but determined. But after all, she was deceiving herself and always felt itchy on her scalp.
After walking for more than ten steps in self-resistance, suddenly there were many corpses appearing in front of the river bank, with dry bones everywhere, and all of them rotten, ferrous and moldy.
The bones were piled up, but they were arranged in an orderly manner, all of which were facing outward, as if they were still trying their best to escape before they died.
After watching these bones for a long time, I felt a sense of fear from them, as if I could hear the roar of despair when they ran away.
There are many ancient weapons and armor and helmets mixed in the bones, which look like a tragic battlefield. In fact, these bones are all incomplete, missing arms and legs, and there are obvious marks on some bones.
Zhang Shuishu stepped forward, guarded Hu Shanshan and looked in front of him, frowned: "They died suddenly when they ran away, and I don't know what they experienced."
After looking carefully, Zhang Shuaishuai made a new discovery and took a breath. "It's strange that after a person dies, the soft tissue will rot and leave residue. But look at the ground, except for the gray bones, this means..."
Hu Shanshan couldn't listen anymore. She glanced at the bones underground and saw a broken tooth mark on a skeleton. In other words, they were eaten by something, and they were swept away quickly like locusts passing through the border, so they left these bones that kept their movements before they died.
Seeing this, Hu Shanshan looked at another ancient building in front of her and was afraid of her.
"I'm very suspicious now, I'm afraid I'll be even more uneasy in another ancient building!"
