Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 30 Unfinished Information
We looked at the source of the sound, and suddenly found that it was Lao Yan's waterproof bag!

"Old Yan!" Company Commander Chen yelled, and the veins on my forehead were all protruding. Making noises at this time is terrible.

It's just that Lao Yan was very calm, and he spoke quickly: "Now is not the time to investigate, save the poisonous snake!"

We also knew that he was telling the truth, because in just a few seconds, all the strange fish had woken up, and they were opening their mouths to bite the poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake surrounded in the center was instantly bitten by one of the fish's legs, and then several more jumped out of the water, opened their sharp teeth, and dragged the snake's trousers to the depths of the dark river...

Lao Yan and I took up our guns and shot at the strange fish around us, while Company Commander Chen cooperated with our firepower and went forward to pull the poisonous snake, holding a knife in one hand, and quickly plunged into the belly of a strange fish.

I put a few bullets in and it didn't feel right - my magazine was full!

But when I changed the magazine, it was obviously the time when Lao Yan and the strange fish communicated, so it was really not an illusion?But it still doesn't make sense, Lao Yan may hide from us, since he entered the desert, he has hidden a lot of things, but why did Company Commander Chen and Poisonous Snake help him to hide me?

"Why are you in a daze right now, kid?" Old Yan's voice came out after the back of the head was slapped hard.

I turned my head and saw that Lao Yan was changing magazines quickly, and the poisonous snake stabbed the strange fish lying on his leg with a knife and gnawed his heart.Company Commander Chen took the opportunity to drag him to our side.

However, just when we thought there was going to be a big battle, the strange fish that were attacking fiercely just now stopped suddenly, and they were cruising back and forth in the dark river, but they dared not take a step to the shore.

"call."

I let out a heavy breath, fortunately the poisonous snake is very close to us, otherwise our firepower alone might not be able to rescue him.

"It's not over yet." Lao Yan frowned.

I haven't figured out what his words mean, but I saw the strange fish that was still hesitating just now broke out of the water desperately again, and those blue grimaces were only a few feet away from me.

I was startled, and was about to shoot, but Lao Yan held down my hand: "Look!"

I was just about to get angry, but when I heard what he said, I looked over subconsciously, and saw that the first batch of strange fish that rushed up had a sky blue flame, because the color of the flame was similar to its skin color, so it was easy to be ignored .

"How could this be?" I said nana.

The flame seemed to emerge from the body of the strange fish, accompanied by the sound of sizzling like roasting meat, but within a few seconds, the batch of strange fish had been burned to ashes...

There were still strange fish rushing up from behind, but without exception, none of these strange fish escaped the fate of being turned into ashes, and finally they stopped their suicidal charge, and Dou Da's eyes were full of human panic.

It's just that they didn't recede, but floated on the surface of the water and stared at us, chirping as if they were very unwilling.

Lao Yan pondered for a while and said that it might have something to do with the cave behind us.

"What's in this cave?" I turned my head and glanced at the dark cave behind me, only thinking that it looked like a monster, waiting for its prey to come...

Lao Yan let out a sigh of relief and didn't answer my question, but just asked if I could get in or not.

"Enter!" I didn't hesitate at all, not because I was too brave, but because the strange fish didn't retreat, they were guarding outside the circle, and we had no choice.

Even though I said so, my heart was still pounding, and I quietly asked Lao Yan if he had a score?

"What can I do, it's the first time I've come to this place." Old Yan replied gruffly.

I glanced at him in surprise, only to think that he seemed very irritable.

"What did you say in that telegram just now?"

I raised my eyebrows. Lao Yan had always been very steady before, but now his sudden behavior might have something to do with the telegram.

He looked up at me, then shook his head.

"Lao Yan, it's boring for you to hide it from us at this time, right?" Company Commander Chen had a gloomy face, obviously very dissatisfied with Lao Yan.

Lao Yan took out a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs: "It's not that I didn't say anything, it's just that the telegram only rang halfway."

Then he scratched his head and said, "Actually, just in case, besides us, I also sent another team."

"Another team?" Company Commander Chen's face darkened even more: "Old Yan, what secrets are you hiding from us, it's best to tell them together now! Otherwise, my bullets won't have eyes."

After speaking, he touched the gun again, and it seemed that he really planned to kill Lao Yan with one shot.

"Gone……"

Lao Yan explained that the reason why he prepared for the two teams was just two-handed preparations, because no one knew which way Yu Chengze would go.

"The map in my hand was drawn up by experts in the department, and it is the shortest route to the ancient country of Changye." Lao Yan said slowly.

"Yu Chengze must have come for the ancient country of Changye, but now that the ancient country of Changye has lost its trace, I can't say whether my map is accurate, so to be on the safe side, I sent another team to follow the route corresponding to the air force."

Lao Yan let out a sigh of relief and said that the telegram was sent by that team, but it disappeared halfway through, and he didn't know what happened to them.

I thought to myself, it seems that he was also in contact with another team before...

"What did they say?" Company Commander Chen asked stubbornly, "Even if it's half, there's something to it, right?"

Lao Yan glanced at him, then showed a strange look, and said word by word: "You... you... in the... hole... will..."

We were all silent after hearing this, the old smoke at the moment seems really infiltrating.

"They don't know we're here." Lao Yan resumed his usual expression, but what he said made us feel even more uncomfortable.

Lao Yan said that they would usually contact each other every two days to ventilate each other. Today was not the day to contact each other, so he suspected that the other team might be in crisis.

"And the rest of the conversation always makes me feel uneasy." Lao Yan pressed the cigarette butt on the ground, and said frowningly.

We didn't say anything, mainly because we didn't know what to say. In the end, Lao Yan waved his hand and broke the silence, saying that we should have almost rested, and we should go to the cave to have a look.

We tidied up our backpacks and got up immediately.

Lao Yan and I sandwiched the poisonous snake and Company Commander Chen into the cave one after the other.

The cave is very dark, even with the flashlight on, it can only illuminate the ground under your feet. It seems that even the light is swallowed by the darkness!
I looked around and saw that the surrounding walls were all rocks, with moss growing on the rocks, which felt slippery to the touch, presumably because it was very close to the dark river.

"This rock looks like it has been polished." After touching a few rocks, I said a little strangely.

Lao Yan came up to touch the rock and studied it for a while before agreeing to my words, and then said in an unbelievable tone, he did not expect this cave buried under the sand to be artificially made.

But we don’t think it’s strange. The desert climate is ever-changing. When the cave was first built, it was probably still on top of the sand, but it just sank later. What makes me more concerned is why the ancients built this cave?What are those strange fish afraid of?
Lao Yan put his index finger and middle finger together and tapped on the rock: "This rock is hollow."

hollow?

I turned my head sideways and put my ear close to the rock, and reached out to knock on it, and the echo that came back was really empty.

"Is this rock thousands of years old?" I glanced at Lao Yan.

He nodded: "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Many things they invented cannot be imitated by today's society."

"No." I shook my head: "I mean, what are they trying to drill out of the rock?"

Company Commander Chen said impatiently at the side: "Whatever it is for, just open it and see if it's right."

Lao Yan and I were silent, and then he took out a hollow copper pipe the thickness of a finger from his backpack, and inserted it carefully along the crack of the rock.

When it was inserted about [-] centimeters, the copper pipe stopped moving. Lao Yan knocked on the copper pipe, and his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

But Lao Yan made a silent movement, and listened intently for a while before pulling out the brass pipe. After a random glance, he handed the copper pipe to me, motioning for me to have a look.

I took the copper pipe and looked at the surface first, only to see that the copper pipe, which was still normal just now, was covered with a layer of patina, and there was still some wet sand inside the copper pipe.

"This……"

I am a little hesitant. I have seen a similar case in "Star Official Secrets", but the details are slightly different, and I can't make a judgment for a while.

But Lao Yan asked me to say what I had, and it seemed that he wanted to test me.

I found that the ordeal increased along the way since he saw the Nine Dragons tattoo on my back.So I immediately expressed my opinion: this cave should be a forbidden place!
