Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 837 Rolling Landmines (4000)

But this is not important, what is important is what happened just now.

Wu Liang quickly checked everything around him, but he didn't find any unusual figures, and there were not many places to hide in this area, so it would not be easy for anything to avoid the sight of the Huan army.

Moreover.

Even if something is set on fire...

Wu Liang walked closer to the source of the fire, and after careful inspection, he found it even more incredible.

Because the dwarf trees are all in a fresh state, and there is not a lot of flammable dry grass around, even if there is something fireproof, it will take a lot of effort to start a fire.

But at this moment, the burning trees in the middle had already been burned into charcoal that was dregs, and it was obvious that they had just completed the most complete combustion.

This is obviously unreasonable.

At least in Wu Liang's consciousness, it is absolutely impossible for any conventional means of starting a fire to burn a living tree to such an extent in such a short period of time. If one has to use one word to describe the situation before him, Wu Liang feels that he can only choose to "destroy the dead", which is completely "destroyed" on the physical level.

Besides.

What happened to the previous light and loud noise?

Wu Liang couldn't understand it.

Everyone in the Huanren Army also remained silent, with expressions of surprise and doubt appearing on their faces.

Wu Liang, a traveler from later generations, couldn't explain the situation in front of him. Naturally, it was difficult for them to come up with a reasonable explanation. If they continued to think about it, they could only analyze it in the direction of ghosts and gods.

"Young master, this fire is very strange, what can you see?"

In the end, Yu Ji couldn't help but stepped forward and raised the questions in his heart on behalf of everyone.

"..."

Wu Liang shook his head helplessly, and then said to Yang Wanli, "Yang Wanli, first take the fire and dig out a isolation zone to prevent the fire from spreading uncontrollably and affecting our actions this time."

"The barrier?"

Yang Wanli and everyone looked suspicious, they really didn't know what the isolation zone was.

"It is to dig a ditch outside the fire area. It doesn't need to be too deep, just remove all the trees and weeds connected to the fire source, so that the fire will be extinguished naturally when there is no combustible material in the ditch."

Wu Liang patiently explained.

"Understood, brothers follow me!"

Yang Wanli suddenly realized, and immediately led others to do so.

Wu Liang was still observing the surrounding environment, but when he compared the fire scene in front of him with the scorched earth that he passed by before, a question suddenly appeared in his heart, and he said to everyone: "At least there is a mature place in this small world." Hundreds of thousands of years, and may even be directly related to Bian Que, the genius doctor of the Yellow Emperor's time, but looking around, there is not even a big tree that is more than a hundred years old... Let alone a hundred years, it is a tree that has lived for dozens of years. We have never seen trees that are more than [-] years old, and the dwarf trees in front of us seem to be at the level of saplings that have grown for a few years at most, which is already a strange thing, what do you think?"

"Hiss... When the young master said this, the old man immediately felt strange."

Yu Ji wrinkled his face and nodded repeatedly, "What's more, this place is deserted. Even if someone walks in by chance, most of them will be turned into bones all over the place, not to mention what they are doing here, so there should be no human factors."

"Could Brother Youcai mean that this inexplicable fire may be the cause of this situation?"

Zhuge Liang's mind became more active, and he immediately understood Wu Liang's meaning, and said, "Thinking about the scorched earth we passed through before, a similar fire should have occurred, and judging from the situation at the scene, the time when the fire occurred It shouldn't be that long from now... If there was a fire in this place every now and then, these trees would be like weeds, burnt once and then grow again, and this cycle would never grow into a towering tree. Talented brother, am I right?"

"Well, I did have such a guess."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

While listening to everyone's analysis, Cao Ni asked questions like a cannonball: "But what is the cause of the fire? Is it directly related to the sudden light and loud noise just now? The inexplicable light and loud noise What is it?"

"..."

Everyone fell into silence again.

This was the question that Wu Liang was unable to do anything about for the time being. Yu Ji had stabilized a little before and did not get a positive response from Wu Liang, and he knew it in his heart, so neither Yu Ji nor Zhuge Liang continued to ask at this moment.

And Cao Ni obviously doesn't have such an EQ, and he still asked curiously: "Why don't you guys talk anymore? Gentleman, why don't you talk?"

"Because I don't know either."

Wu Liang said with a smile, "However, the light and the loud noise are probably not trivial. Next, everyone needs to be more cautious. Even if you notice something strange, you must report it to me immediately, so as not to cause a big mistake."

……

So after Yang Wanli and others dug a simple isolation zone, the fire was slightly smaller, but because all the trees were burning, the smoke rising at this moment was much larger than before.

Wu Liang conducted a more detailed investigation around here.

It's a pity that the results of the investigation are not optimistic, or it can be said that there is no gain, and even a trace of abnormality worthy of in-depth research has not been found.

In the end, Wu Liang had no choice but to temporarily shelve the matter and continue to investigate the "Xianshan" itself.

Soon after.

Everyone returned to the vicinity of the three gate towers.

Wu Liang decided to start from the foot of the "Fairy Mountain" facing the three gate towers, and analyze from the normal architectural logic. If there is a hidden underground palace or cave in this place, then the entrance should probably be directly facing the three gate towers. .

However, after searching at the foot of the mountain here, there was still nothing.

In this case, I'm afraid we can only search the mountain slowly.

Fortunately, with these three gatehouses as a base, Wu Liang can almost be sure that there is absolutely a shocking secret hidden in this place, so there is no need to worry about finding nothing in the end.

"Let's find a place to camp first."

With this in mind, Wu Liang was ready to fight a protracted battle, so he said to everyone, "Let's pitch our tent by the stream where we used to get water before. That place is not only convenient for water fetching, but also has a better view. Open, if there is any disturbance, we can immediately detect it."

So everyone gathered quickly and headed to the creek in the south of the "Fairy Mountain" together.

in this process.

The Tuan army still hasn't seen the weird person that Daquan mentioned before, and hasn't encountered any life-threatening danger for the time being. Under such circumstances, some people have gradually begun to wonder where the countless bones in this small world come from. Here comes.

If you only look at those bones, this small world should be a forbidden place for death, isn't it?
However, it has been several hours since the Tuan army entered this small world, and apart from the previous fire, they have not received any death threats at all.

"Young master, this place is completely different from what the old man imagined. Do you think it's because some things have changed since this place became the mouth of the Yellow River?"

While the soldiers of the Huren Army were setting up their camps, Yu Ji quietly called Wu Liang to the side, and whispered worriedly, "If so, will it affect what we are looking for this trip?"

What Yu Ji said was naturally the solution to the strange poison. All the previous signs showed that "Bian Que" was closely related to the strange poison in them. Although Yu Ji has lived for more than 90 years, he is more regretful than anyone else. .

However, this concern is not unfounded.

After all, the Yellow River has submerged most of the surrounding areas. If the entrance or the cave of this "Fairy Mountain" has been completely submerged by the Yellow River, then they searched the entire "Fairy Mountain", and it is absolutely impossible to find harvested.

"I don't think that's very likely."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, and then said to Yu Jikuan, "This place is next to the sea, so even if there is a secret cave or underground palace, it is definitely impossible to build it in a low place, otherwise it will be infiltrated by sea water, and the water of the Yellow River will come here. It is almost the same as the sea level, if the Yellow River can have an impact on this place, then the sea water should have changed this place in advance before then, and it will not be the Yellow River's turn."

This is indeed the case. When public rail transit is built along the coast in later generations, subways are rarely dug out of the ground, but bridges are built to build light rails in the air. This is actually the same reason.

"I hope so."

Yu Ji was still a little worried.

When saying this.

"Young master, look at what that is!"

A soldier of the Tuan army who was camping not far away suddenly shouted.

"?!"

Wu Liang immediately looked back.

I saw that on the other side of the creek, there was a white ball of light floating at a height of about one meter from the ground!

This ball of light is about the size of a football, has an irregular oval shape, and is very bright. It looks like a street lamp suspended in the air.

"Fizz!"

At the same time, Wu Liang heard such a slight sound in his ears, as if a wild beast was moaning.

"This……"

Everyone had never seen this kind of thing before, and they were a little nervous in their hearts. They gathered together in a hurry and took up weapons to prevent it.

Yet they have only just begun to act.

The ball of light moved along with it as if it had sensed it, and it had crossed the small river in an instant, then stopped at a place only more than ten meters away from everyone, and continued to float up and down gently, as if waiting The next move of the people in the Zhuan army.

"Stay where you are and don't move!"

Seeing this, Wu Liang immediately raised his voice and shouted.

"!"

Seeing that Wu Liang was not joking with them, everyone immediately stood in place and did not dare to move an inch, and the floating range of the ball of light also became smaller.

"Fizz!"

At this moment, the ball of light was also only about ten meters away from Wu Liang, and the sound it made became clearer in his ears.

It seems like……

Wu Liang frowned into knots.

If I hear you right, it seems to be the peculiar sound of electric current.

However, there is no concept of "electricity" in this era, and people have never seen anything related to electricity except lightning, so it is difficult to have a clear understanding.

Could it be ball lightning? !
While making this guess, Wu Liang was horrified.

This is an extremely rare natural phenomenon.

As far as Wu Liang knows, ball lightning usually only appears in thunderstorm weather. It can float freely in the air near the ground or travel against the wind with the ups and downs of the airflow. It can also enter the room through open doors and windows, or even enter after passing through the chimney. Buildings sometimes hover in the air, and sometimes disappear silently.

But once the ball lightning encounters an obstacle, it will explode immediately, and the temperature generated during the explosion is extremely high, which can burn trees instantly, and even burn people into charcoal instantly.

Also.

In fact, this natural phenomenon has long been recorded in China. Although it is difficult for the ancients to conduct in-depth research on it, they still gave it a very vivid name-"Rolling Landmine".

Wu Liang couldn't help but think of the weird fire he encountered not long ago.

bright.

Loud noise.

These two characteristics seem to be able to match the "Rolling Mine", and indeed only the "Rolling Mine" can burn those trees in an instant.

But what puzzled Wu Liang was.

"Rolling mines" don't appear only in thunderstorms, and although the weather in this small world is gloomy, it is definitely not a thunderstorm. Why do "rolling mines" also appear?

Is it...

Wu Liang thought of the powerful and weird magnetic field unique to this "fairy mountain". Thunderstorm weather is not the only condition for "rolling mines". It seems that a magnetic field will also have some impact on this.

Some magnetic fields can induce some specific air and clouds to discharge charges, thus making a certain area a more dangerous minefield...

"My lord, it's coming towards us, what should we do?!"

Not far away came the exclamation of Yang Wanli and others.

I saw that ball of light was somehow stimulated, and in the process of floating, it was approaching Yang Wanli and others who were gathered together little by little. At this moment, the distance between them and them was less than ten meters.

Rolling Mine can move fast or slow.

When affected or guided by air currents, it can even pass ten meters away in a flash, but it can also slowly float like a snail.

Therefore, Yang Wanli and others should feel lucky at this moment.

If Wu Liang hadn't stopped the crowd in time and ordered them not to move around, even the air flow caused by the movement might make "Rolling Mine" instantly agitated, just like before, a brilliant kung fu has already crossed the stream and came to them around.

But at this moment, their situation is still extremely dangerous.

"Rolling mines" are approaching them. As we all know, the human body is conductive. Once this thing gets close enough, even if they don't move, they will still attract "rolling mines", and the closer the distance, the faster the speed. will be faster.

By then...

Wu Liang didn't dare to imagine what would happen next. He had to do something, otherwise Yang Wanli and the soldiers of the Huren Army who were leaning against each other would be "rolling land mines"!
