Chapter 326: Someone Behind(1/2)
Cheng Hao has climbed very high. If his clothes weren't more conspicuous, Bai Chi would probably not have seen him.
After checking it, he threw the end of the rope down and said, "Come up quickly!"
Liu Wei immediately started to climb up. When he climbed up, Bai Chi and Bai Ping also climbed up.
Because Bai Chi had spent a lot of energy carrying Bai Ping on his back, he was now extremely weak. All the muscles in his body ached when he moved. He couldn't exert any strength after climbing more than ten meters. At this time, Liu Wei said:
"Hold on." As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the rope and pulled it up.
After climbing up, Bai Chi saw that there was a chain on the top of the cavity that was thicker than his thigh. It stretched out from the huge inverted rock root, extended to the north, and disappeared into the endless darkness, like a chain leading to the abyss.
of artificial bridges.
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly discovered that there was a thick layer of bronze flowers on this huge chain, and there were even faintly visible lines on the bronze flowers.
After the Qin Dynasty, bronze developed into a transitional period and began to be replaced by iron. In other words, the thick bronze chain in front of you is the work of the Qin Dynasty. Only that era full of mystery and miracles can make such amazing works.
thing.
The mysterious feeling, as thick as traveling through time and space, surprised Bai Chi so much that he was speechless, but Liu Wei didn't give Bai Chi time to react and said, "Bai Chi, don't be stunned, move forward."
Liu Wei pulled the rope up and said to Bai Ping: "Up!"
Cheng Hao was sitting not far away. The bronze chain was only about half a meter away from the rock above his head. He was straddling his waist and holding on tightly. Bai Chi moved towards Cheng Hao, looked up at the top of his head, and immediately looked up again.
I discovered a surprising fact: This miraculous bronze chain seemed to have collapsed from the black rock above my head!
The appearance of this bronze chain surprised the four of them. Baichi never imagined that there was such a huge bronze on the top of the cavity. Such a huge bronze had already exceeded the smelting level of the ancestors at that time. Then
Why did people at that time accomplish this task, and what technology did they use?
Bai Chi peeled off a handful of bronze flowers and took a rough look. He found that the water vapor on them was very heavy and became crispy when twisted. On the black rock above his head, there were imprints of bronze chain buckles, which were stacked and extended. In other words, this thing came from the top.
It collapsed from the black rock.
But why did the ancient ancestors cast such a huge bronze chain and bury it in the rock?
Bai Chi couldn't help but think of the bronze box he encountered before, which was also an ancient product. Is there any connection between the two?
Bai Chi didn't have time to take a closer look, so he quickly moved to Cheng Hao on a bronze chain and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Cheng Hao looked very nervous, holding on to the bronze chain with both hands and not daring to move: "It's very dangerous here, it's too high!"
Bai Chi looked underground and found that it was indeed very high. If he was not careful, he would be shattered into pieces. He said, "Don't look down. It's just like on the flat ground. Where is that black shadow?"
Cheng Hao swallowed and said:
"Didn't see it!"
At this time, Bai Ping was pulled up. As soon as he came up, his eyes shone. It was probably the first time he saw such a large bronze vessel, and he immediately shouted:
"Such a big thing?"
After turning over, he touched and looked carefully. Then he looked up at Bai Chi and said:
"What a big bronze vessel."
After saying that, he climbed towards Bai Chi. He was still injured and it was difficult to get up. When he got to Bai Chi, he was already sweating.
Liu Wei turned to Bai Chi and said, "You go forward first. Don't stop..."
Bai Ping glanced along the bronze chain and didn't see the end at all, so he asked:
"No? This thing is at least a few hundred meters long. Climb over it? It's nothing if it's outside. We are all hungry and tired now. Can we do it?"
Liu Wei nodded: "Climb!"
"Don't worry, I'm right behind you!"
Bai Chi comforted Bai Ping and said:
"Think about it, if you die, how will I explain to your father? It sounds like you came out to protect me, but in the end I was the one carrying you all the way."
Bai Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Then crawl."
When the three of them had moved seven or eight meters, Liu Wei followed and whispered to Cheng Hao. After that, Liu Wei stepped on the bronze chain and caught up behind Bai Ping in just a few seconds. Looking at Bai Chi and Bai Ping,
Ping moved like a child riding a bench, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said:
"At the rate you are going, you won't be able to wear your butts to pieces."
Bai Chi and Bai Ping looked back at the same time and saw Liu Wei squatting half-crouched on the bronze chain waiting for him. They suddenly felt like idiots.
Cheng Hao said with a smile: "One of them is tired and the other is injured. Just slow down! Safety first."
"If it's not safe, use a rope to make a safety belt..."
Liu Wei looked at the crack not far below and murmured:
"You have to do it even if you don't, otherwise you will die sooner or later. This place is too weird. We have to leave this place quickly."
The speed of the four of them is not very fast, mainly because it is extremely difficult to climb. In addition, the bronze chain has a thick layer of rust, which will fall off as soon as it is wiped. It is very unreliable to step on it. Even Liu Wei is so skilled and does not dare to put too much trust in it.
big.
Not long after, Liu Wei fired another flare, but with the light of the flare, Bai Chi could see the entirety of the crack below. The abyss was forty or fifty meters wide, and the sides were so deep that the edges could not be seen.
White mist rises continuously from the cracks, rolling to both sides and above.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Bai Chi always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in this huge crack. The feeling was extremely uncomfortable. The white mist was rolling in, as if a pair of eyes were peering at this group of outsiders.
Baichi felt a little uneasy and kept urging Liu Wei and Cheng Hao in front.
After climbing another five or six meters, the flare passed by the four people, hit the black rock at the top, and plunged into the white mist. The surrounding area slowly sank into the darkness. At this moment, the white
Ping suddenly pointed to one side and shouted: "Look over there!"
The three of them turned around and took a look. In the afterglow of the flare, they saw a large knotted tree root leaking out about seven or eight meters away from the four of them, like a huge chandelier. The root of the tree was completely black and should have been gone for a long time.
Carbonization.
The bronze chain is of unknown length and immeasurable weight, and hangs down in the center in an arc. The tree roots are diagonally above the four people. They should be similar to the bronze chain, and are pulled out from the black rock.
As soon as Bai Ping finished his words, Liu Wei frowned and said: "There is something inside!"
Bai Chi was stunned and stared. The moment the light disappeared, he saw a square thing entangled in the roots of a big tree. It looked very familiar. Bai Chi immediately shouted out loud as soon as he thought about it:
"It seems like it's a bronze box again!"
"What?!" Several people were shocked, and even Liu Wei, who had always been calm, changed his expression.
Bai Ping stared blankly and murmured: "Why is there another one?"
Liu Wei reacted, shook his head and said in denial: "Impossible! He must have seen it wrong!"
Cheng Hao also calmed down, stared straight at the roots of the big tree and said:
"Bai Ping is right, it's a bronze box."
When Bai Ping heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands and said excitedly:
"Get it here?"
Bai Chi rolled his eyes at him: "How can you get it from so far away? How about you fly over?"
Liu Wei seemed to know this thing. He murmured: "This thing seems to be very important."
Then he looked back, took out a rope and said, "Bai Ping picked up stones from the stone wall and knocked out the tree roots near the bronze box!"
Bai Ping took a look at the rope in Liu Wei's hand. He immediately understood what he was thinking and said with a smile: "After we get the contents, our clan leader and I will share half of it."
"Don't bother me. If there's nothing I want in it, it's all yours."
Liu Wei is very decisive.
"Deal!" Bai Ping smiled.
At this time, Cheng Hao suddenly stopped him and said: "Wait!"
After coming out of the abyss, especially after hearing the conversation between Liu Wei, Cheng Hao, and the second master, Bai Chi vaguely noticed that something was wrong with Liu Wei and the others, but he did not raise any suspicion. What on earth was Liu Wei looking for?
Thinking of this, Bai Chi asked Liu Wei:
"After you came out of the abyss, who was the second master you and Cheng Hao met?"
Liu Wei glanced at Bai Chi, sighed, and said, "Bai Chi, you really shouldn't come."
Cheng Hao also nodded and said, "You shouldn't come!"
"This matter is very complicated and has nothing to do with you."
Liu Wei looked at Bai Chi with a hint of complexity in his eyes:
"Bai Chi, you won't understand now about the second master. Just remember, I won't harm you."
Bai Chi nodded and said, "I barely believe this!"
Liu Wei forced out a smile and said:
"That's good."
Bai Chi was about to speak when Cheng Hao glanced at the two of them and said:
"Don't talk yet. We're in trouble. Look over there. Someone is following us."
