Tomb Robber: Stop pretending, I am the Zhang family!

Chapter 99 Black Ancient City
On Zhang Yunfeng's side, after walking for several hours with his little brother, he finally came to the end of the Great Rift Valley. The terrain ahead suddenly became higher, and a wall tens of meters high appeared in front of him.

This wall was formed by hundreds of millions of tons of solidified volcanic magma, directly filling the entire Great Rift Valley, and behind this magma wall was a huge volcanic basin.

The two climbed all the way up the solidified volcanic magma, and it took more than 20 minutes to finally reach the top.

Standing on the top and looking down, I saw that the volcanic basin was like a huge bowl with a diameter of three to four kilometers wide. The two of them seemed to be standing on the wall of the huge bowl, as small as ants.

The volcano has not erupted for tens of thousands of years, and the basin is covered with a large number of dead plant fossils. Obviously, this crater was once exposed to the atmosphere. It must have been a vibrant world before, due to volcanic eruptions, or sudden volcanic activity , the surrounding trees were vulcanized and died, and the remains of the forest still stood in the basin.

Looking further into the depths of the forest, there stands a huge black city, but the distance between them is a bit far away, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.

Roughly judging its scale, it can accommodate at least 5 to 6 people.

The two stood on the edge of the crater and watched for a while, then climbed all the way down the rock wall.

There are a large number of plant fossils at the bottom of the basin, and there is a strange smell in the air, the smell of rotting plants mixed with the smell of sulfur.

At this time, the younger brother suddenly took out a gas mask from his backpack and said to Zhang Yunfeng, "The gas here is poisonous."

With that said, he put the gas mask on his face.

Zhang Yunfeng nodded, then took out the gas mask from his backpack and put it on his face.

Although Qilin's blood is invulnerable to all poisons, the poisonous sulfur gas released by the volcanic activity is so poisonous that it is hard to imagine that even birds cannot fly over it, so he dare not be careless.

After finishing this, the two turned over the plant fossils that had collapsed on the ground, walked forward for several minutes, and came to the gate of the black city. The city wall was very high, more than ten meters high, and the stone gate was like a huge archway. .

This is the first stone gate of the imperial mausoleum, called Tianmen.

The stone gate was half open, and the two of them quickly walked through the gate of heaven, and saw that there were pairs of white stone men and stone horses on both sides of the Shinto every five meters.

Their destination was the Bronze Gate, so they walked over without even looking at the things here.

Soon they came to the end of Shinto, where there are six stone gates, implying the six circles of reincarnation in Buddhism, and the Dongxia people are Jurchen, who believe in shamanism, which is obviously designed by the Han people.

The two stayed in front of the stone gate for a while, and finally chose to pass through the third stone gate, which was another luxurious Shinto way.

However, this Shinto path is very short, and it came to the end in a short while. There were a large number of collapsed black eaves and broken walls. An ancient and mysterious altar stood in the middle. Behind the altar, there were sixty steps of dilapidated stone Steps, this is the main entrance of the imperial mausoleum.

The architectural style of the entire imperial mausoleum follows the design of the underground palace of the Ming Dynasty. Viewed from a height, it appears to be huge in scale and majestic. Because the building materials use that kind of black stone, it looks a little weird in addition to being magnificent. and mysterious.

But once entering the mausoleum, the feeling of mystery and weirdness disappeared, and the eyes were full of desolation and dilapidation. If it weren't for some large temple-like buildings still standing there, one would have thought it was just a ruin.

The two followed the huge black stone steps all the way to the gate.

The huge gate of the mausoleum has already collapsed, and the huge door panel covered with round-head nails fell to the ground. Two people stepped on the door panel and walked in. After entering, it was the gate hall of the mausoleum palace. The air here was even more oppressive. There was a rotten musty smell.

There are two basketball courts in the gate hall, with bronze chariots and horses on both sides. On the back wall, there are two black statues on the left and right, which have been covered with thick dust. The statues have hideous faces and cold faces. Glaring, it looked like the totem statue of the shaman.

The auxiliary beams and columns above have collapsed, and the tiles and clouds have fallen to the ground. Fortunately, it will not rain here, otherwise it would have been flooded.

The two stepped forward on the tiles, and there was a crackling sound of the tiles under their feet, which seemed a little scary in the empty gate hall.

While walking, the little brother stopped suddenly, then squatted down, and picked up something, which turned out to be a bullet casing.

However, the shell casing is quite old, and green copper-etched flowers have grown on it, which seems to be something from decades ago.

After the little brother saw it, he immediately shone around the hall with a flashlight, and soon he found something. The beam stopped at the corner of the hall, and there was a corpse there!
The two quickly came to the side of the corpse, cleaned off the tiles covering the corpse, and found that the corpse was wearing a suit, an old-fashioned mountaineering suit from more than 20 years ago, and an old-fashioned marching backpack.

The corpse had obviously been dead for decades, and the flesh and blood had weathered, leaving only some skin and flesh sticking to the bones. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it seemed to be a female corpse.

The two carefully inspected the body, and found that they died of poisoning, the bones had turned black, it was estimated that they had been poisoned by the sulfide gas here, and finally died from the poison from the inside out.

Then, the little brother opened the old-fashioned marching backpack, and the contents inside were rotten. There was only a rusty iron can with the lid still sealed, which looked like a tea can.

The little brother unscrewed the tin can hard, and what was inside turned out to be a black, metal-like and stone-like substance, which was heavy and very tough in his hand.

Looking at this thing, Zhang Yunfeng understood what it was. It was meteoric copper, a special metal from an alien planet, such as the huge piece of meteoric copper in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West.

In addition to this thing, there are some books in the backpack, but they are all rotten and moldy, leaving only a ball of black mud.

After checking the corpse's backpack, the two searched through the corpse's clothes again, and found a comb, a mirror, and a skin care cream for women.

Looking at these things, the little brother fell into deep thought, as if wondering who this corpse was?Why would you die here?Why is there nothing on her body that can prove her identity?
Zhang Yunfeng is well aware of the origin of this corpse. This is the fake archaeological team formed by "it" decades ago. The target of the pretending should be Chen Wenjin, because the fake Huo Ling got out alive. .
