Seeing the wind lantern, Wu Xie quickly took off his coat and began to bake his underwear.

Ding Ze was tossing and turning along the way and sweated a little, so since he had spare clothes in his backpack, he took out his clothes and put them on.

Boss Wang didn't care about sweating or anything, so he didn't bother. He just sat by the lantern, lit a cigarette, then took out the telescope and some food from his backpack, and placed the food on the ground.

"Eat something to replenish your strength," Boss Wang greeted, and then he took a pack of biscuits. While eating, he picked up his telescope and looked towards the top of the tree above.

See the situation.

Ding Ze picked up a bag of bread and turned to look at the top of the tree.

Wu Xie didn't look at it and concentrated on eating the food.

Boss Wang watched for about half a minute, put down the telescope, and heard a voice, "Mr. Ding, can you see anything on the top of the tree? Why do I look at it and feel like there is something strange up there?"

The darkness here was too dense and Night Eye's ability was limited. Ding Ze didn't see much, only a rough outline.

"It seems so," Ding Ze responded, reaching into his backpack and taking out the binoculars, "Let me take a closer look."

Words enter the air.

Wu Xie, who stuffed some food into his stomach, said, "Boss Wang, lend me the telescope and I'll take a look too."

Boss Wang had no ink marks and immediately handed the binoculars to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie took it and looked up at the top of the bronze tree.

At this time, Ding Ze's eyes had fallen on the top of the bronze tree.

Only seen.

The top of the bronze tree, which was about ten meters to no more than twenty meters vertically from where the three of them were at the moment, was almost completely obscured by the countless tree roots hanging down from the top of the cave a little higher up.

Those tree roots and roots that look like pale ghost claws are twisted together like twists. It is indeed like a giant hand grasping the top of the bronze tree tightly, trying to pull the entire bronze tree from

In hell, pull out...

It does seem that the entire top of the tree is a huge totem wrapped with fossilized pythons.

‘Soon after, Wu Xie will materialize a giant python, probably because the scene at the top of the tree has given him a hint...

After taking a second look, I felt that the tree roots above did look a bit like fossilized pythons, Ding Zeru thought.

Ideas pour out.

Ding Ze blinked and focused his gaze on the edge of the tree top.

Because he knew what was there, after a moment, he saw two bronze arms with a large pile of tree roots slightly exposed.

Then, more or less, I saw a bronze statue wrapped in tree roots.

Glancing at the statue, Ding Ze didn't look much, his eyes moved slightly, and then he looked at the plank road not far away from the statue.

Look at this.

The fact that the plank road was obviously higher than the top of the bronze tree appeared in his field of vision.

Face this fact.

Ding Ze couldn't help but think about a question, 'The reason why the plank road is higher than the top of the bronze tree is really because, as written in the original book, the bronze tree has sunk a little over the past few hundred years?'

I thought silently for a moment.

Ding Ze had a negative answer.

'wrong!'

'The reason is obviously not this, at least, not entirely.'

'Because it is obvious that this plank road was built from top to bottom... Therefore, the real reason is that the plank road was much higher than the top of the tree from the beginning...'

'In this case, the starting point of this plank road must be...the ground? Or, a passage leading to the ground?'

'After all, according to the "Hemu Collection", this plank road was used for Emperor Qianlong to view the bronze trees...'

'Then, at the beginning of building the plank road, the person in charge should have considered a very critical issue... After the plank road was built and Emperor Qianlong came, how would he get to the plank road?'

'We can't say that we should let Emperor Qianlong crawl around in the mine.'

'That's unrealistic and impossible.'

'So, Emperor Qianlong would only walk down from the ground and onto the plank road.'

'It's actually not difficult to achieve this.'

'There were over 3,000 people who were responsible for the excavation here. With so many people, it would not be difficult to go to the ground corresponding to the bronze tree and find the passage through which the ancient She people came down. It would only take a while at most.'

'Even if you can't find the passage through which the ancient She people came to offer sacrifices... with so many people digging hard, they can still dig out a new passage...'

'In other words, the end of the plank road is most likely either the ground or a passage leading to the ground.'

'The possibility of passage is greater.'

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ding Ze thought for a while and felt that this should be the case.

'So, is that passage still passable now? Could it be that Emperor Qianlong sent people over, killed people and silenced them, and then blocked the passage again?'

Being idle is also idle, Ding Ze continued to think about it.

'Probably not.'

'The secret that Emperor Qianlong wants to keep is the existence of the dragon-patterned stone box, not the existence of this bronze tree and this place.'

'Otherwise, the underground mine tunnels should also be blocked or destroyed.'

'In other words, there is a high probability that we can go straight up the plank road and return to the ground...'

Thinking about it, Ding Ze recalled what Lao Itch said before about how a group of them came down from the ground and many people died...

'If my guess is correct... then the passage at the end of the plank road must be safe enough and there cannot be any mess...'

'Then, Lao Itch and his group must have taken another passage three years ago... maybe it was the passage where people from the ancient She Kingdom came to offer sacrifices.'

Think of this.

Ding Ze glanced at Wu Xie.

'That's interesting.'

'In a moment, do you want to find an opportunity to confirm whether the passage exists?'

'But, if the passage really existed... Wu Xie probably wouldn't have been lured by Lao Itch, discovered the real Lao Itch's bones, and been so frightened that he doubted his life...'

'That plot is quite important...'

Ding Ze was a little hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Boss Wang spoke up and pointed towards the top of the tree, "Mr. Ding, Mr. Wu, have you seen it? Does it look like there is something strange standing there at the edge of the top of the tree?"

"

The words hit my ears.

Ding Ze thought for a moment and decided not to worry for now. He would wait and see what happened later. He moved his mouth and replied, "Well, it looks like a statue."

When Boss Wang heard this, he was a little excited. The fat on his face trembled, "Yes! I think it's a statue too!!"

"The angle here is not good. Come on, let's change places and take a closer look!"

"Maybe that thing is the treasure we are looking for!!"

Boss Wang said, got up and left.

Ding Ze saw it and didn't move in a hurry. He turned to look at Wu Xie.

Seeing Wu Xie frowning, he happened to look over.

Ding Ze smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look."

"good."

Wu Xie agreed with a somewhat solemn expression.
