Chapter 13 The End
Chapter 13 End point
Keep walking, we went deep into the water storage lake. The surrounding flashlights were all calm water surfaces, and the lake water still showed no signs of getting deeper, but we found that dark spots as big as basketball courts began to appear under the water, which indicated that deep pits with great ups and downs began to appear at the bottom of the lake. Each dark spot was extremely deep, and the mine lights could not shine at the bottom, and it seemed that there was something connected below.
This kind of black spot will appear every now and then, with irregular shapes and fine stones at the bottom of the water. These holes are like being dug out by something. We started to feel a little inappropriate and tried our best to avoid these deep pits.
After walking like this, we soon found the second stone pillar with a mark.
The group stopped to rest, and someone sneezes. The water here was really cold, but I knew it was not the most uncomfortable. The water did not reach the freezing point after all, and it was still within a range that people could tolerate, so I didn't complain much.
That mark pointed to another direction. Moreover, the symbols were different, and it seemed to have changed what they mean.
Wen Jin looked at the Mermaid and before he could ask, Mermaid answered: "This is the last one, we're about to arrive."
The last one - it should mean the last sign, which means that the next stop is the destination.
When our hearts were shocked, someone subconsciously raised his gun. Without saying a word, we immediately set off with the mark. I didn't know what it felt in my heart. I was both excited and scared, and felt an ominous atmosphere, and there was also a kind of tension when things were about to come.
But just as I walked around the stone pillar less than two or three steps, my feet hurt and I didn't know what I stepped on.
When I was a child, I was in Changsha and often swim in the stream with my third uncle. So with the feeling of the soles of my feet, I immediately knew that the soles of my feet must have been broken, and it was quite serious.
I stopped immediately and asked the fat man to take a look for me. As I said, I raised my foot to see. The fat man's mine lamp streaked across the water and shone at my feet. I found a big hole in the heel. Obviously there was something sharp under the water, so I lowered my head to look for it. When I looked at it, I found that there was something unusual at the bottom of the water here.
Under the waist-deep water, the mine lights clearly shone out from the bottom of the water. I originally thought that I was still lying on the fine stones, but I don’t know when it was different. Among the gravels under our feet, some strange-shaped flakes appeared. I leaned down and touched them and found that they were the fragments of the kind of clay pot we saw on the ancient shipwreck we dug out of the Devil City.
These pottery pieces were buried in the gravel and only a small part was exposed. They had to be carefully looked at to separate from the fine stones. Obviously, when we arrived here, there were traces of the activities of the ancients. However, looking at the number, it seemed that many of them were hidden under the gravel.
Everyone started to fiddle with the gravels with their feet, and soon more fragments were exposed. The fat man raised the mine lamp and shone the surroundings of the place where we stood, so we could see the situation at the bottom of the water more clearly.
Below the gravel here, there are a large number of clay pot fragments mixed with, not buried deep, extending from where we stood to the far end of the lake, and there is no end to see. And the more we go to the direction the mark left by the muffled oil bottle, the more dense the number of these clay pieces is. I can see what force is rushing over there.
We continued to move forward in the fragments, paying special attention to underwater to avoid being scratched by the pottery pieces. The situation became more and more obvious. The more we walked in, the more fragments of clay pots under our feet. After walking less than a kilometer, we found ourselves on a shallow piled up of clay pot pieces.
The entire area is filled with fragments of clay pots, large and small, with most of the colors being dark red and pottery yellow. Under these clay pot fragments, you can see many seemingly complete ghost-headed jars buried, which seem to have several layers of them under the bottom of the water.
We cannot know how many layers of things like this are buried under the fragments, but this scene is already creepy enough. We are afraid of stepping on the ghost-headed can, so we dare not advance rashly, so we stopped to find our way.
The fat man was not interested in these rags, and the third uncle's guys didn't dare to touch them, and they all drank soy wine to drive away the cold. Hei Xiaozi was very interested. He dived down again and again to carefully look at these ghost-headed cans. The fat man said impatiently: "Four eyes, do you think less dead people? What are you doing to catch that thing?"
After searching for a while, it was like this all around. This area was very large. If you want to pass, you either go back the same way and find a way to go around, or you will bite the bullet and step on these sharp bones and pottery pieces.
While hesitating, I saw Wen Jin looking at her feet, thinking about it, and asked her what she had thought of. She suddenly said, "Can we have arrived?"
"Has arrived? What does it mean?" I was surprised, and then I understood, "You mean, this is our destination?"
She nodded: "It seems that we have arrived at a place where sacrifices are piled up. This kind of place is usually a place for sacrifices. It's a distance since we walked. Is it possible that this place is our destination?"
I looked at my feet and around me and felt it was unlikely. At least I couldn't accept it. What was this place? There was nothing but these ghost-headed jars. So why did we come here to work hard? I had already seen these jars carefully in the Devil City.
Looking at the Guai Bottle, he still didn't say anything. Wen Jin took out the fluorescent stick, folded a few to light them up, threw them into the water around him, and illuminated the surroundings. When the others watched, they also began to follow the example and threw them out. Soon the bottom of the water around them lit up the green fluorescent light.
We began to look for any suspicious places at the bottom of the water. The water surface under the green light was abnormally ghostly. This time we looked very carefully, but there was still nothing unusual we wanted to find, except for the pottery pieces, and the pottery pieces.
We were a little depressed. I looked at the bottom of the water and said, if this place was the destination, then the only possibility was that something was buried under these clay pots. But this should be impossible. There have been so many people here, and if the things were below, they must have been dug out. Obviously this is not the end, so we have to continue searching.
The most hateful thing is that we have no idea what our destination looks like, and we can't remember anything.
I kicked the water a few times to dispel my coldness and tension. At this moment, I suddenly saw my reflection twisted into a strange look by the water waves. Then I saw my face overlapping with my lower body, and the other areas reflected were pitch black.
I shuddered, suddenly realized something, looked up at us directly above, and found that from when we had started, our heads were much higher and looked pitch black.
I took the mine lamp to shine it upwards. The light shone into the darkness and couldn't see the top. The low light illumination distance of the mine lamp was nearly forty meters, and the top of the cave here actually exceeded this distance. I adjusted the lighting intensity of the mine lamp to the strong light level, and the mine light emitted an incandescent light column.
Everyone around me was attracted by the mine lamp that I suddenly twisted up. I ignored it and shone the mine lamp towards the top of the cave and shone it out of the top of our heads.
At that moment, I was stunned. I saw a huge and indescribable object embedded in the rocks on the top of our heads.
This thing is extremely huge, and the part that protrudes from the top of the cave is spherical. It is completely impossible to estimate its diameter, almost covering our entire field of view. The texture seems to be rock, but the color is completely different from the surrounding stone pillars and the cave roof. What is strange is that the surface of this stone is full of holes the size of asphalt barrels, densely packed, and looks extremely ugly, like a lotus root that has been eaten by empty space.
Others also looked up at the sky following my lights. No one spoke for a moment, everyone was stiff and the atmosphere was as solid as it was.
"What's the matter?" the fat man muttered.
Wen Jin murmured: "Heaven, this... this is a heavenly stone."
