A damaged carriage was dismantled, and soldiers removed wooden shafts and planks from the carriage, and then carried them to the depths of the cave. www/xshuotxt/com Here Allen has cut out a square exit with the red front, and the soldiers brought wooden planks to lay it on the edge of the exit, and then fixed it with axle braces to prevent the mud and rocks at the exit from collapsing. Allen took Regis and Laura to explore the way first, and they walked out of the cave with torches, and came to the stone road paved along the mountain wall. This stone path seems to be cut out from the mountain, heading towards the dark space below. The slope of the stone path is gentle. To prevent accidents, several people walked close to the mountain wall. The light from the torch can only illuminate things within a few meters around. The space in this mountainside is extremely empty, and it is difficult for the fire to illuminate the entire space.

From time to time, the stone road passes some rock pillars. These huge stone pillars that require several people to embrace are not known whether they are natural or artificial. They support the mountainside from collapsing. There are so many stone pillars, and Allen has already passed a dozen of them along the way. As for the darkness, I don't know how many such pillars there are. This mountainside space is like a giant stone hall. Allen doesn't know how big the stone hall is, let alone where it leads.

Space itself is a kind of power. In this inexplicably open mountainside, even Regis was silent, silent all the way.

Allen stopped suddenly.

In the light of the fire, it can be seen that the stone path has begun to change direction. It no longer extends along the mountain wall, but extends to the center of the mountainside with a gentle curvature. Allen squinted his eyes, and the light of the torches in everyone's hands continued to increase, and the flames even rose to a height of one meter. Under the influence of the King of Fire, the light of the torch increased greatly, and the visible range also increased. The few people here are all strong men over level 20, and a little light is enough for them to see a lot, not to mention the flames now. Everyone, including Allen, saw a stone path stretching from the stone pillars under the firelight. In the distance, this stone road connects to a magnificent stone bridge, and the stone bridge extends into the darkness in the distance. Allen threw the torch vigorously, and the torch spun to form a flame.

This group of flames cut through the darkness and illuminated a corner of this mountainside space. It can be seen that there are other stone roads between the stone pillars. No matter where these stone roads originate from, they all extend to the magnificent stone bridge in the middle without exception. This is simply a transportation network that exists in the middle of the mountain!

The torch finally hit a stone pillar and bounced off again. The flame kept going away, and finally disappeared.

Allen turned his head and exchanged glances with Regis and the others, and said, "We seem to have come to an incredible place."

They returned to the cave again. At this time, everyone in the team had almost rested, and the eyes of the wounded soldiers were full of light after eating and drinking. Especially knowing that they don't have to be trapped to death in the cave, these men have fighting spirit again in their eyes. They are not afraid of powerful opponents, and they are not afraid of the hardships of the journey. But if you know that you will be trapped in a cave and experience the feeling of dying slowly, life is worse than death.

Now that new hope was at hand, the soldiers naturally rekindled their fighting spirit.

Under the arrangement of Fares, ten mountain king fighters and five inch fire shooters formed an exploration team, and followed Alan at the forefront of the team.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Their task was to assist Allen in discovering and clearing dangers and obstacles, followed by the seriously wounded and businessmen, including several trucks, and finally Fares and other fighters at the end. The team left the cave one after another and walked up the cliff mountain road. There was no guardrail on the other side of the mountain road, but the road was wide enough for two carriages to go side by side, so there was no need to worry about falling, unless the mountain road collapsed.

Dozens of torches were lit in the team, and the blaze looked like a fire dragon from a distance, passing through this space that had been silent for so many years. They walked through the bend and saw the stone bridge in the center of the space on the mountainside. This stone bridge seems to have been dug directly out of the mountain. The bridge deck is tens of meters wide.

Walking up the stone bridge, Ian trembled all over, prostrating himself to the ground. He walked with Allen, and the latter didn't stop him. Allen could understand the shock in the old man's heart at the moment. Even he is excited by the mountainside space and the stone bridge, not to mention that Ian, who grew up in Frostwind City, will witness the underground miracle that his ancestors have seen before stepping into the large underground tunnel that may appear. , how can Ian be calm?

In the end, it was Allen who helped him up, and Ian rode on his skinny horse, with moist eyes, and said to Allen: "I never thought that I would be able to get here one day, how long will it be, Lord Allen. If If I can go out, I can proudly tell the world that what our ancestors said is true, and that there are indeed large underground tunnels!"

Allen smiled without answering, and he took the lead. The stone bridge is stretching, and it took several hours to walk, and it is probably evening now. At this time, other things appeared in front of the stone bridge. It was an arch, a huge arch carved directly out of the mountain, nearly 100 meters high, and as wide as the bridge deck, perfectly joined with the stone bridge. The arch is hollow, and there are totem-like stone pillars on both sides of the door, but these two stone pillars seem to be carved out of the mountain like the door, and the upper and lower ends of the stone pillars are integrated with the mountain wall.

It can be seen that there are two braziers in front of the arch. When Allen threw the torch into one of them, there was only the light of the torch at first. Gradually, the flames lit up, and a few seconds later, a burst of flames sprang up, sparks splashed in all directions, and the flames on the brazier were raging, and the ointment preserved by the secret method still worked. Allen did the same, and after both stoves were lit, the arch stone bridge was illuminated within a hundred meters.

The team rested temporarily by the huge arch, and Allen stood by the door, feeling the humidity from the wind blowing from the door. I vaguely saw a faint blue light in the darkness inside the door, but I didn't know what it was emitting from. Laura walked to Alan's side, sniffled and said in a low voice, "We are not alone here, I can feel something in the darkness. It is best for us to pass here quietly, so as not to cause trouble."

Allen nodded and said: "Didn't Ian say that their ancestors found cavemen in this big tunnel, I guess those things should not be hospitable hosts."

Laura smiled and said, "You're still joking at this time, so I can rest assured."

Allen shook her hand.

Ten minutes later, the team continued to set off. After passing through the arch, there is a square under the firelight, and a statue about 100 meters high stands in the middle of the square. I don't know

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The head of the statue is still missing due to the erosion of the years, but it can be seen that this is a woman, or a goddess. The cornerstone of the statue is engraved with rose flowers, which seems to have some symbolic meaning.

Bypassing the statue and passing through the square, you can see a gentle slope climbing up. After walking up the gentle slope, a city appears in the eyes of everyone. This is a city dug out of the mountain. The buildings in the city are distributed in a long and narrow shape. The high and low buildings are densely scattered and extend into the dark depths. You can see the void beyond the edges of the two ends of the city. There is a blue light faintly shining under the void in the mountainside, so even without the help of firelight, Alan's strong men can have a panoramic view of the city with the help of those underground blue lights.

Urban buildings fluctuate according to the terrain, and there is often a drop of ten to tens of meters between two building groups. The mountain platform where the building group is located should be artificially flattened. After all, such a regular platform landform cannot exist in nature. . The platforms are connected by arch bridges or curved slopes. Each platform is a block, and the city does not know how many blocks are formed!

Since it is located in the mountains, there is no suspense that the city's buildings are basically made of stone. Long and square, simple and plain houses were piled up with processed stones, but under the erosion of time, most of the buildings have collapsed, and we can only imagine the glory of this city from the ruins. Walking on the streets of the city, you can also see that there are aqueducts built on both sides of the street. There is a deep water storage well every ten meters or so, and there are statues or trees between the houses. It's just that now the aqueduct has long since dried up, the water storage well has been covered by wormwood, the statues have become incomplete stones, and the trees have been dead for thousands of years.

"What happened here?" Allen sighed softly, and naturally no one could answer this question.

Edward next to him said in a deep voice, "It's very wrong."

"how?"

"Let's not talk about how time-consuming and labor-intensive it is to hollow out the mountain in the middle of the mountain, build this city, the stone bridge outside, and the complex traffic network that can obviously lead to other places. The weirdest thing is that I don't know if you have noticed I see, that is this city. The civilization shown by the architecture and layout alone is beyond the current era of the Balegon Empire. I bet that the imperial capital is no more than that, or even slightly inferior The problem is that the ancestors of Frostwind City lived hundreds of years ago. When they discovered the city, it was obvious that the city was already what it is now. In other words, we are living in an ancient on the ruins. It may have been thousands of years ago, or even longer."

"Then, a city of this scale can be built in such a distant age, and the people living in this city are not simple."

"You should also know that the ancestors of Idahua came to this planet. If it was them, it would not be surprising to build a city of this scale. You have never been to the City of Gold, but I think the architectural style here and The city in the sky on Idahua star is somewhat similar." Allen frowned: "It's just that I haven't heard that Idahua star people have a hobby of building cities underground..."

"Who knows? Maybe they want to try something new?" Edward's joke was still cold.
