I Can't Play This Game Anymore Chapter 818

Seeing the Taoist priest in purple leave, Ji Han took out the space-time compass from his bag.

Sure enough, the direction pointed by the compass happened to be this pothole in Stone City.

Chen Ke first used two lighting sticks towards Hei Youyou's cave entrance, but because of the long stairs below, they stopped before illuminating too far.

The four began to take out the lighting equipment needed for exploration from their backpacks.

Chen Ke shone down with a flashlight, but apart from the long steps extending down into the darkness, he couldn't see anything else at all.

"Brother Ji, do you think those soldiers would really live in this kind of cave?"

Ji Han put his backpack back on his back and shook his head, saying:

"To be honest, I don't really believe it. It's really inconvenient to get in and out of this hole, and just now the fellow Taoist deduced that this might be the residence of those soldiers because of the many bones below. Probably where they buried their bodies."

Because they are far away at the border of the Western Regions, even those killed in battle cannot be returned in horse leather shrouds, so they were buried in such a deep pit.

However, this idea does not seem to be valid, because if it is only based on the bones, it seems that there is no need to dig so deep, and now we can only find out by going down and looking.

Song Qian asked:

"Brother Han, do you think that little Daoist coming here just now has anything to do with us?"

"I'm afraid it's just a coincidence. I don't understand why he came to such a remote place, but I can't say why. I don't seem to have any resistance to the little Daoist just now. I feel like old friends at first sight. He shouldn't be a bad person."

Eggplant joked:

"It really doesn't look like a bad guy, but it's a big appetite. After chatting for a while, Tian Sheng ate two large bags of dried pork."

Song Qian worried:

"Just listening to his last words, I feel a little worried. He seems to be going to do something dangerous."

Eggplant waved:

"Let's take care of our own tasks first. Now we don't have the energy to take care of others. If we come back alive, I used to say it when I was having fun. It's not a problem."

Ji Han stopped Eggplant before he was ready to drive:

"Let's take a look at the matter first. If there is a real destiny, maybe we can see him after finishing the task. Let's go."

Song Qian was the first to walk down the steps at the entrance of the cave, followed by Ji Han and Chen Ke, and finally Eggplant.

The four of them already had some experience in this kind of dark and confined space. There were no falling rocks on the stone steps under their feet. It seemed that the geological environment here was relatively stable.

It can be clearly felt that the temperature inside the cave is much higher than outside.

Except that the steps under the feet were paved with gravel, the rock walls on both sides were excavated very neatly, and artificial traces could be vaguely seen.

Chen Ke judged:

"Brother Ji, we may have a problem with our judgment of this cave. Although the building at the entrance of the cave and the steps under our feet were built later, the stone wall below seems to have been dug a long time ago."

While carefully watching behind him, Eggplant followed slowly and said:

"speak English."

"That is to say, the builders of this cave and the builders of the Stone City outside may not be the same group of people, and the latter just used the space here."

Ji Han also thought of this point, after all, digging such a large underground space at that time was still very labor-intensive and materially resource-intensive.

For the remnants of the Tang Dynasty who are sticking to the Western Regions, it is obviously impossible.

And excavating such a huge underground space in this kind of place is definitely not meaningless. The only possibility I can think of seems to be: tombs or underground civilization sites.

Eggplant reminded while complaining:

"Grass, it's this kind of place again, isn't it right? Didn't the Taoist just say that you can see the bones if you walk down tens of meters? Why are you so clean after walking for so long?"

Although there was only one meeting, the Taoist priest really had no motive to deceive them. The only explanation was that something happened here later.

Walking in the front, Song Qian raised her hand and said:

"Shh, it seems to be the end of the road ahead."

I saw that the stone steps had also come to an end at this moment, and further forward was a huge flat stone plate, and further outward was an endless darkness, it seemed that there was still a lot of space outside.

"The fellow Taoist should be talking about this place, but there should be some bones here."

Chen Ke threw a few more lighting sticks out of the stone plate, saw a small gentle **** below the stone plate, and found no living things around, and the four jumped onto the **** one by one.

Only then did I see that there was a three-way intersection on the small slope, and there was a road along the direction of going down and sticking to the wall.

On the left side of the road, there is still a road that continues to go downwards in the vertical direction, but there are still many stones scattered on this road. It seems that this road was sealed off with a stone wall before, but There is still a gap of half a meter wide above.

This time the supplies were all in place, so Eggplant fired a flare directly into the air.

The main purpose is to illuminate the upward path clearly, but under the illumination of the white light, everyone found that there were actually several forks in the upward direction, connected with many wide cracks.

Ji Han nodded and said:

"So that's the case. If you say that, it's really possible for those soldiers to hide below. There must be more than one way to get out here. Looking at the direction, those fork roads should all lead to that ridge. Good guy, tunnel warfare can be regarded as being played by them. Understood."

Ji Han took out the space-time compass to check the direction, and found that they were not going up, but heading towards the forked road on the left that was originally sealed~www.mtlnovel.com~ In order to reduce the risk of collapse below, Chen Ke was careful Kicked down the left side of the stone wall, leaving room for the four to pass.

But on the other side of the collapsed stone wall, there were many bones scattered on the ground.

Eggplant asked curiously:

"It stands to reason that soldiers should be buried anyway after death. Why did they all die inside? Since they have time to build a wall, why don't they take these bones out?"

Song Qian guessed:

"Maybe it was a **** battle at the time, and I didn't have the energy to worry about these things. Later, this place was captured by Tubo, and there was no one to deal with those corpses."

Chen Ke lowered his head and briefly checked the bones and the clothes they were wearing, then shook his head and said:

"No, these are not the bones of Tang soldiers, these are the bones of Tubo people, but this is even more unreasonable. In the end, Tubo occupied this area. How could their bodies be sealed inside without being processed? What? Everyone wear some masks, maybe there may be some germs here, and to ensure that people outside are not infected, they are sealed inside."

Then he took out the air detector and checked it.

Ji Han remembered that the stone wall he saw just now was not completely sealed, and guessed:

"It's not that complicated. You don't even have any armor on your body, and the wall hasn't been sealed. I guess they took the wall apart and touched it secretly, but they didn't survive in the end."
