The situation underground was not quite what I expected.

The extreme heat did not appear. It was as if the golden liquid that the essence of the earth veins was turned into was really drank up by me. It completely disappeared. Instead, there were condensed yellow crystals everywhere, becoming more and more pure and clear, as if I had stepped on it. Entered a natural crystal mine.

Beautiful things are always deadly. Looking at these magnificent yellow crystals, my heartbeat speeds up for no reason. I always feel that this is not a good thing.

The slope of the mine is not as steep as I thought.

In my guess, this mine should go straight underground, not to mention standing at a vertical angle of 90 degrees, but it is probably about the same.

In fact, after walking through the first section of the road, the slope suddenly slowed down and it was like a winding mountain road.

All of this was naturally not caused by the three corpse-born sons, it was completely natural.

This weird structure made a few of us secretly say that our horizons were narrow and we had never heard of it at all.

Wu Ye's academic mind didn't know how. He suddenly connected this structure with the rifling of the firearm, and pointed at the yellow crystals around him and said plausibly, if this mountain hadn't just erupted, The mine we are in now must be filled with that kind of golden liquid, which is pushed out in a spiral shape by the underground pressure. This is similar to the effect of rifling on bullets, so when this mountain erupts , only then can there be such a scene of destruction.

I sneer at this statement. Do you really mean that the essence of geological veins is magma? Just poke a big hole in the ground and spray it upward like a spring? That's good!

Moreover, the scene of destruction of heaven and earth is just nonsense. Who has really seen it?

At that time, everyone was just running for their lives. If we had really seen the scene during the eruption, we wouldn't be here now. It is estimated that 80% of us would have been in the forest just like the group of birds and animals that ran half a beat too slow. The corpse was erect, and it was turned into soup by strong acid, and the stench was unpleasant.

Of course, I just muttered these in my heart and didn't dare to be serious with Wu Ye, otherwise I would have been unstoppable today. He could come up with a long list of formulas and all kinds of weird conjectures put forward by foreigners, until I I, an illiterate, can't find the north...

It turns out that my anxiety was correct.

At first, everyone was talking and laughing, and didn't notice anything wrong.

It wasn't until we were walking around that we couldn't see the end of the road, Brother Yaozi's body suddenly started to itch, and he kept scratching his back with his hands, as if he couldn't get enough of it. Finally, he took off his shirt and scratched hard. Only then did I see clearly, Brother Yaozi. His back was covered with patches the size of a fingernail, black and red, shocking.

Zhang Xinya has some trypophobia. She took one look and gasped, rubbing the goosebumps that kept popping up on her arms.

Lao Bai shouted that it was syphilis, but Brother Yaozi slapped him to the ground.

Lao Bai's pride did not last long, and soon, he also developed the same symptoms.

It was like it was contagious. Watching these two people scratching their backs, I felt like I was starting to feel itchy. Not only that, but I also had a slight burning sensation in my throat.

Afterwards, Wushuang, Xiaozhi...

"What the hell is this weird disease?"

Lao Bai was a little hairy. Needless to say, his eyes were already focused on those yellow crystals.

"If that doesn't work, let's withdraw first?"

There was a dangerous light in Brother Yaozi's eyes.

I knew that he had the same intention as me.

Without saying a word, Wu Ye suddenly took off his backpack and began to rummage through it. Equipment of all sizes was thrown out like rubbish. I didn't see him take many things along the way.

After coming out, it was obvious that all preparations were in vain.

After rummaging for a moment, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he took out a tightly sealed bottle from the bottom. After opening it, he poured out some white pills, scattered them immediately, and then "dongdong" by himself

He swallowed it first at once.

After doing all this, the man seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat down and panted heavily.

I didn't have time to ask more questions, so I just threw it away, then sat next to him and asked what was going on.

"Wait, wait..."

Wu Ye just said this.

I have no choice but to wait.

It's interesting to say that after swallowing these pills, the burning sensation in my throat gradually subsided and the red spots on my body were still there, but they were no longer itchy.

"radiation!"

Wu Ye spoke with more certainty: "There is radiation here, but it's not serious, otherwise we wouldn't have taken so long to respond!"

After saying this, he spread his hands and said: "During our previous inspection, we detected some radioactive iodine in this area, but we could not find the source, so when we came in this time, I brought some iodine tablets

, In fact, it was just a matter of being prepared, and it turned out to be useful even if it didn’t happen.”

We are not afraid of ghosts and gods, but radiation...

Wu Ye knew what we were thinking by looking at the looks on our faces, and said with a smile: "I've already said it's not very serious. I guess it's much milder than the treatment for big neck disease in the hospital. We're here to stay."

It takes a long time, as long as you control the intake of iodine tablets, it won’t be a big problem!”

He said it with certainty, and we felt a little more relieved.

Brother Yaozi made a little estimate and felt that our current position has reached the bottom of Jinshan Mountain, and has even entered the underground. It should not be too far from the end.

A few people discussed for a while and decided that they had reached this point and it was a pity to quit. They might as well continue to move forward. In the final analysis, they were just being silly and bold, not afraid of any unpredictable consequences.

The situation was indeed as Brother Yaozi said. Not long after we continued on, this winding mine tunnel like a winding mountain road came to an end.

But the situation at the end made us numb again.

"Where does this go?"

Lao Bai spread his hands and threw the problem directly to me.

But looking at the devastated world in front of me, I had no idea.

The end of the winding mine is very empty, with undulating and completely irregular yellow crystals at its feet. There are ravines everywhere, and there are irregular holes in all directions!

Some of these holes are only as thick as a human arm, while others are as big as caves, large enough for people to walk in calmly. They are large and small, with no rules at all, and no traces of man-made changes. They are completely natural, like a huge cave.

Every hole in the honeycomb is dark and deep, and I don’t know where it leads.

"It's caused by the power of the earth's veins..."

Brother Yaozi hesitated and said: "The power of the earth's veins erupted by chance, and this structure similar to a sieve was created. The mine has come to an end here. If nothing unexpected happens, the lop-eared witch is hiding there.

It’s behind a certain cave, but...which one is it?"

This is the biggest problem right now.

There are probably no fewer than hundreds of holes, large and small, that people can pass through. The yellow crystal walls on all sides have really become a sieve. We can't try them one by one, right?

Time waits for no one, I... only have ten days!

"Wait, wait...let me think about it!"

I waved my hand to stop everyone who was talking, lowered my head and secretly thought about the key here. After a long time, I looked at Lao Bai with a faint look: "I have a way, but... I have to lend you something to use it!
