Survival male god

Chapter 274 There are many mysteries
[In the dark cave, a rustling sound was suddenly heard. When Chen Jing looked under the searchlight, a look of nervousness suddenly appeared on his face! 】

["Scare!" He exclaimed and took two steps back, only to see a group of emerald-colored scorpions charging towards his position. 】

[That is the Israeli golden scorpion, one of the most poisonous scorpions in the Sahara Desert. If you are stung by its stinger, you will have a high probability of losing your life. 】

[Many creatures in the desert avoid this kind of scorpion. The situation is very dangerous. Chen Jing is an adventurer with rich combat experience. He is already prepared! 】

The AI ​​dubbing in the live broadcast room is a middle-aged man with a slightly smoky voice. Although the audience cannot see the real-time scene, the lifelike description and the occasional BGM give everyone a richer imagination. .

This kind of viewing experience is not inferior to ordinary ones at all, and is even more immersive.

On the other side, Chen Jing was really shocked by these desert golden scorpions.

Most creatures in nature are unlikely to actively attack creatures that are much larger than themselves unless necessary.

It is the instinct of all living things to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Taking the initiative to attack an opponent who is stronger than oneself is the same as seeking death.

Therefore, Chen Jing could not understand the behavior of these golden scorpions. The two sides just met each other, and these little things focused on him.

This is obviously not normal unless...

"Unless these scorpions have a more powerful and wise leader."

"All lower-level members must obey the leader's instructions without reservation."

"And the order they received was to kill all living creatures they encountered?"

Chen Jing said to himself, of course, these are his personal conjectures and have no basis.

The golden scorpion that rushed the fastest was already at its feet.

boom!
The top of the hard bone knife slammed onto the ground and hit the golden scorpion accurately. The carapace burst and liquid flew everywhere.

It is a knife and a blunt instrument!
These little things couldn't get close at all, and they all turned into flesh before they even touched Chen Jing.

The latter fought and retreated, but there were only a hundred golden scorpions, and they died in the blink of an eye, posing no threat.

Rather than saying he was surprised, he was confused.

Although desert golden scorpions like a cool environment, they also like dryness. Why do they come to such a place for no reason?
"It's a pity. If it were normal, catching so many scorpions and making them into kebabs would be a rare delicacy!"

Chen Jing smacked his lips and continued to move forward.

……

[The strength of the adventurers is obviously beyond the imagination of ordinary creatures. They continue to succeed, but with little effect. They cannot hinder the pace of the former, but strange things follow one after another...]

[The intricate underground passages branch out into several forks at every turn. The ground is paved with hard stones, precision cut like modern industrial products]

["This place is like a huge underground palace, with more and more rock paintings of different scenes on the cave wall.", the adventurer said, and then once again, returned to the place he just passed, he seemed to be lost! 】

Losing direction and being trapped somewhere with no way out are two different things.

The former is a normal phenomenon, at least the freedom of movement is not restricted.

The latter, the emotional value assigned to the trapped person, is more downward biased.

Although Chen Jing did not become manic because of this, he once again saw the scorpion corpses clinging to the ground and walls after he had crushed them into flesh.

He will be more or less unhappy.

I seem to be a little anxious!

When you come to this complex maze-like underground passage, you should mark the forks as soon as possible. This is common sense.

But he didn't do it. As a result, he wasted half an hour and then returned to the same place.

Chen Jing raised his steps and once again threw away the bodies of the golden scorpions.

Soon, we arrived at the first fork in the road. They were separated by stone walls and pillars. They were almost the same on the left, center and right. There were petroglyphs on the stone walls.

"Which one left just now?"

Chen Jing's memory was very good, but he was concerned about the safety of Gu Jingmo and Gu Jingmo. For a moment, he actually ignored many details. At this moment, he couldn't even remember which branch of the road he had just passed.

"Just pick one and mark it!"

This time, he chose the left.

When he stepped inside, he used a bone stick to draw a hook on the wall.

The scenery in the cave passages is not much different. In most cases, it is dark and deep. Occasionally, there will be a ray of light shining down from the gap in the high valley.

The only obvious feeling is that the farther you go in, the higher the terrain seems to be.

Soon, we reached the second fork in the road, still left, center and right.

At this point, there is no need for any evidence. This is definitely not a natural cave. Thousands of years ago, a certain dynasty had a huge project here.

They use natural caves and dig intricate passages here, like a maze.

Chen Jing had previously speculated that this might be a place where people lived, similar to cave civilization.

But it was definitely not the case now. In those connected passages, he saw no trace of human habitation, no derivative cave dwellings, no living tools, nothing.

This place is definitely not used to live in. These passages are more likely to confuse outsiders and exist to hide something.

"What exactly is it trying to cover up?"

Chen Jing was doing two things at once, observing and thinking at the same time.

"The Mountain of the Dead is the tomb of the nobles of ancient Egypt. So, is it possible that the Holy Mountain of the Dead is the tomb of the nobles of the Adela Dynasty?"

"Probably!"

Treasure hunters earn remuneration by accepting employment tasks, and foreign regulations do not seem to be that strict regarding unsupervised burials in tombs.

Even if it is strict, I am afraid there will be some "professionals" who will take risks and do dangerous things.

Chen Jing didn't know for what purpose Jennifer and Gu Jingmo came here, but he understood that these two people must have some key information in their hands.

Instead of thinking about it here, it would be better to find them as soon as possible.

Shaking his head, Chen Jing stopped thinking about the Adela Oasis civilization and focused all his attention on finding the right path.

"Left, left, center, left..."

This is the route he has chosen among the four intersections he has passed so far.

We have been walking for three and ten minutes, and the next fork in the road is the time to verify whether the route is correct.

The fifth fork in the road arrived as expected.

Chen Jing randomly selected one and marked it.

A few more minutes passed, and the mottled scorpion flesh came into view, as if taunting him mercilessly.

I'm back here again!
Instead of being angry, Chen Jing just felt lucky that he found out early. Otherwise, he didn't know how much energy and time would have been wasted before he realized that he was trapped.

Now that it is confirmed that this is a deliberate maze and not an accidental loss, the next thing will be much simpler.

It's nothing more than permutations and combinations, and discarding the wrong routes.There are five forks, and each fork has three choices. There are countless correct routes, and there are many ways to arrange them. Chen Jing is not a mathematical genius, but he has physical strength that is different from ordinary people.

"It's like trying the combination of a safe, just eliminate them one by one."

"This time, the first four selections remain the same and the last one is adjusted."

"If all are wrong, then the penultimate fork in the road needs to be eliminated."

This is a stupid way, and it is also the only way Chen Jing can think of.

"Start the follow mode!" Chen Jing murmured in his heart, and he was going to speed up.

[The adventurer ran quickly in the passage, his speed was amazing, and he was left behind at every fork in the road]

[The third time, the result is wrong, the fourth time, the result is wrong, the fifth time, the result is wrong...]

[His eyes were determined, as if he was tireless, like a wild beast. Between the violent ups and downs of his chest, there was a heavy breathing sound, which sounded from the dark passage]

[No.20 seven times, the result is wrong, No.20 eight times, the result is wrong, No.20 nine times...]

Outside, water friends who have been paying attention to the live broadcast feel a little complicated at the moment.

They can't understand Chen Jing's current situation through intuitive pictures?

But from those simple text descriptions, everyone could still tell that Chen Jing was in trouble.

This guy is very fast and his physical strength is exaggerated. It only took him half an hour to explore the distance. After he starts running, he can complete a lap in only three to four minutes each time.

29 multiplied by four, that is 110 two minutes. Chen Jing ran in the cave passage for nearly two hours?
This will drive people crazy, right?

["Why don't you run away? If that doesn't work, you can still go back the way you came."

"This is not something humans do. You don't have to risk your life for others."

"If I remember correctly, Jingshen's food and fresh water seem to have been exhausted before. How long can you keep running like this?"

"Please, stop quickly, don't run away!"]

Many people were sending barrages to persuade, but with the black screen, they couldn't hear Chen Jing's voice. They could only look at the text in the center of the screen, which appeared one after another. What came from their ears was still the same sounding text. A low smoky voice.

[No.30 twice, the result is wrong, No.30 three times, the result is wrong]

[No.30 four times...]

Chen Jing didn't stop trying. He was still working hard. People shook their heads and didn't know what to say. They could only continue to pay attention.

However, the result of No. 30 four times was still not broadcast after a full ten seconds.

"stuck?"

Everyone was thinking this, and just when they were about to exit the live broadcast room and re-enter, or refresh the page, a slightly excited voice rang through their ears.

【The result is correct! 】

In front, the corpses of the group of scorpions did not appear. Instead, a long spiral staircase appeared at the feet.

These stairs are no more than a foot long and can only accommodate one person to pass. One side is attached to the stone wall, and the other side is endless darkness. When the searchlight shines down, nothing can be seen, only the floating objects in the air can be seen. Fine dust particles.

"Even the light can't reach the end. It's at least dozens of meters high, at least a dozen stories high."

"Where does this ladder lead to?"

Chen Jing squatted down and leaned over to look into the distance. The deep space below looked like the gate to hell.

When you see too much light, you will have an instinctive rejection of darkness.

Even though Chen Jing had long been used to being alone, everything he saw now still made his hair stand on end.

"Even if you are building a tomb, there is no need to make it look like this!"

Chen Jing sighed. He found fresh shoe prints on the stairs, which were the same as those he had seen on the sand before. Needless to say, these naturally belonged to Gu Jingmo and Gu Jingmo.

What else can be done?

Chen Jing walked down cautiously.

Carving such steps on a stone wall not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also places very high demands on the terrain itself.

It is hard to imagine that an ancient civilization 7000 years ago had such high attainments in architecture.

It may even be much more advanced than the ancient Egyptian dynasty that built the pyramids.

"An oasis civilization..."

The advancement of scientific and technological productivity first requires people to have enough to eat and sleep well. How can great artists and scientists be born in a place where such materials are scarce?
"Is there a possibility that 7000 years ago, this place was not thousands of miles of yellow sand, but such a powerful dynasty, after the productivity improved and the people became rich, did not choose to conquer, and even died in obscurity in the desert. This It’s unreasonable in itself.”

"What happened to cause all this?"

"The mystery of the demise of the Adela dynasty!"

It seemed that Gu Jingmo and Jennifer had the same doubts as themselves.

Chen Jing walked down the stairs for about ten minutes. After jumping over two high stone platforms, he came to a wide cave hall.

The ground was densely covered with scorpion corpses, and the air was still filled with a burnt smell.

Chen Jing found two steel gas bottles in the corner.

Obviously, these Israeli golden scorpions were destroyed by some kind of fire-breathing device.

The cave walls around the hall are also full of rock paintings, with white, black and brown patina, various colors with distinct layers, and even some reliefs.

This has never been seen before.

"Huh? What is this?"

Chen Jing approached the stone wall. At a certain location in the rock painting, there was an icon surrounded by knife marks.

Simple white strokes outline a lifelike animal image, which is a scorpion.

Chen Jing originally wanted to check if there were any marks carved with knives on other rock paintings, but he discovered something even more surprising.

In the center of a certain rock painting, there is a huge scorpion, and the little people around it seem to be worshiping it.

"What is this? Is there such a big scorpion in the world?"

Chen Jing thought of forbidden creatures, but aren't the forbidden creatures that exist in the world all mutated creatures produced by the over-protection of the modern environment?

Could it be that this is not the case?

As early as 7000 years ago, there were forbidden creatures on Blue Star?

Chen Jing found that his long-held concepts felt like they were being subverted.

But just when he was extremely shocked and confused, a huge impact sound that seemed like a heavy object falling to the ground came from below.

His eyes flashed, and his feet moved quickly, running towards an entrance in the cave.
