Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 3107: The abyss in the belly of the mountain
Latest website: Chapter 3107: The Abyss in the Hinterland
This stone gate was very heavy and quite jerky. It seemed that Ye Tian took a lot of effort to push the stone gate open through a gap and then stopped.
At this moment, a piece of dirty air suddenly escaped from Shimen, and directly rushed towards the joint exploratory team staying outside Shimen.
Fortunately, everyone here is wearing a full set of protective equipment, the package is tight, and there is no harm.
Even so, everyone was shocked and thankful.
When the dust fell, Ye Tiancai stepped forward again and continued to push this heavy stone gate.
This time it was a lot easier!
In a blink of an eye, he has slowly pushed open the stone gate.
Behind this stone gate is not the secret room that everyone expected, nor is there any treasure, but another cave shrouded in darkness.
As the lights came in, the situation in this cave was immediately presented to everyone, on the live screen.
Compared to the places explored before, the cave behind Shimen looks more regular, and the traces of man-made excavations are more obvious.
As far as I can see, there are almost no protruding rocks on the ground and on both sides of the cave walls, and only the cave roof remains in its original state.
Like other places I have just explored, there is a lot of dust in this cave.
And the dust here seems to be thicker and thicker, completely covering the ground and the walls of the caves on both sides, and also sealing the gaps around the stone gate.
Because of this, a lot of dirty air accumulates inside.
There were no crossbow arrows or javelins shot from Shimen, it was very calm and seemed to be in no danger.
After confirming the safety, Ye Tian returned to Shimen and began to check the situation inside.
However, he did not go in immediately.
Standing at the door and looking at it twice, he suddenly yelled, and then said in surprise:
"How does the dust in this Shimen look like volcanic ash? And the temperature inside the Shimen seems to be a little bit higher than outside, and the air seems to be drier.
In the local legend of Aksum, it is said that there is a volcano in the depths of this cliff, which is always scorching the rocks on the mountain. Is this legend true?
If this is the case, the curse engraved on this stone gate, the intruder will be burned to death by flames, probably referring to the magma deep in the belly of the mountain! "
Before the words fell, many people immediately exclaimed.
"What? There is a volcano deep in the belly of the mountain, really or not?"
"If this is the case, then the trouble will be big!"
Before the exclamation sounded, several archaeologists stepped up and began to check the situation.
One of the Israeli archaeologists seemed to be over-excited, and wanted to enter the stone gate, but was pulled back by Ye Tian at the door.
"Until the situation is ascertained, no one is allowed to enter this stone gate"
"Okay, Steven, I was reckless"
The Israeli archaeologist nodded in response, somewhat embarrassed.
Next, these archaeologists squatted at the door, carefully squeezed some dust from the ground inside the stone gate, and began to study.
In just a few moments, these archaeologists have reached a conclusion.
"Yes, Steven, the dust on the ground is indeed volcanic ash. Judging from the amount of volcanic ash accumulation, it should be an extinct volcano, dormant for at least several thousand years.
If this is an active volcano, the volcanic ash that has erupted for more than two thousand years should have completely buried the cave, and the things hidden in the cave are the same."
Owen introduced the situation, and the others nodded.
"From this point of view, we are relatively lucky to have encountered an extinct volcano. If this is an active volcano, then we can only evacuate here and return without success."
Ye Tian nodded and said, somewhat relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, he asked several of his staff to come forward and began to detect the air, dust, and rocks in Shimen.
Like several archaeologists, they can only stand outside Shimen and work.
At the same time, Ye Tian let his subordinates release a small drone and fly into the cave behind Shimen to explore the depths of the cave.
As this small drone entered, the situation behind Shimen immediately appeared on the surveillance screen.
For the sake of confidentiality, and to keep suspense for the live broadcast, the footage captured by this small drone was not broadcast live immediately.
Behind this stone gate is a section of the cave sloping downward, winding and twisting, extending to the depths of the belly of the mountain.
Like the situation inside Shimen, the ground and walls of the cave are relatively regular, which is obviously caused by man.
Moreover, the ground and the cave walls are covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, covering everything up. Apart from the outline of a few sculptures, nothing else can be seen.
The small drone flew down the cave for about 20 meters. After turning a turn, a hole suddenly appeared in front of it.
And outside this cave is a small platform, which looks only one or two square meters in size.
When the small drone flew out of this hole, a long and narrow crack shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen.
This crack is located in the inner part of the mountain. The widest point is about four or five meters. It is an irregular ellipse. It looks a bit like human eyes and has a very strange shape.
Looking down from above, I couldn't see the bottom of this crack at all, and there was only darkness below.
At least the searchlights carried by small drones cannot illuminate the bottom.
The situation at the top of the crack is the same, it is also shrouded in darkness, and nothing can be seen.
The section of the cave behind Shimen stopped abruptly when it reached this crack and turned into a dead end road.
And on the opposite side of the cave entrance, about five or six meters obliquely below, there is another cave entrance, which coincides with the cave in the distance.
The two holes are separated by a bottomless crack, but they are not completely isolated and connected to each other.
Connecting them is a ladder on the wall of the crack hole.
Obviously, this ladder was dug by man, no more than fifty centimeters wide, winding along the cracked cave wall, extending to the hole below.
In other words, if you want to enter the hole below, you can only walk the stairs on the wall of the crack.
Seeing these images from the small drone, everyone gasped.
"Oh my God! This terrain is too dangerous, and it's frightening to look at it!"
"It's hard to imagine how the Beta Israelis did all this more than two thousand years ago? It's incredible!"
Even Ye Tian was taken aback by this group of video images.
Because of the limited perspective distance, he didn't know the situation deep in the belly of the mountain.
Seeing this series of images, he was also secretly surprised.
"Nick, use a small drone to take a closer look at this crack and see how high it is at the top, how far it is from the top of the cliff, how deep is it at the bottom, and what is there?
Then check the steps on the wall of the crack cave to see if it is secure and how damaged, and then fly into the cave entrance below to explore! "
Ye Tian said in a deep voice and issued a series of commands.
"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us, and we will be able to ascertain the situation soon"
Nick nodded in response.
Then, the small drone flew to the top of the crack.
At this time, the two employees who were responsible for the test had also come to the results.
"Steven, after testing, in addition to arsenic, there is a certain amount of sulfur in the air inside this cave. Fortunately, the content is not very high, so don't worry too much.
In these volcanic ash, we also detected arsenic and sulfur. The sulfur content is slightly higher than that in the air. It is obvious that this is indeed an extinct volcano.
Also, the rocks inside Shimen are different from the rocks at the entrance of the big satellite. Although they also contain highly toxic arsenic elements, the texture of these rocks is a little harder! "
After listening to the introduction, Ye Tian's expression suddenly became more solemn.
"This is really a cave filled with poisonous gas. The air is not only rich in arsenic, but also sulfur. If you break into this place without any protection, it will definitely be a dead end!"
When the voice fell, Owen immediately followed up and said:
"Yes, this is a Jedi. What makes me unable to understand is how the Beta Israelis stayed here for a long time and hide their treasures here? Are they not afraid of poisonous?"
"As long as people are afraid of toxic substances, Beta Israelis are no exception. They may have special methods to deal with these toxic elements, but they must have paid a huge price.
Before they sealed the cave, the ventilation conditions here might be good, diluting the toxins in the air, and adding some unknown special methods, they could stay here.
When they blocked the other entrance of the cave and sealed the entrance on the cliff wall, plus more than two thousand years of accumulation, it became a huge gas chamber and a place of death."
After listening to his analysis, everyone nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, Ye Tian asked his men to lift a powerful replacement fan from the top of the cliff again, put it on the stone gate, and quickly replace the air inside the stone gate.
The powerful ventilating fan placed on the side of the cliff has been working, constantly improving the air environment here.
In the crack deep in the belly of the mountain.
The small drone has flown to the top of the crack and began to explore the situation.
The top of the crack is about forty meters away from the cave entrance below, a bit lower than the giant satellite on the cliff wall, and about 180 meters away from the top of the cliff above.
At the top of the crack, no trap was found, only a piece of rock.
Then, the small drone turned its direction again and flew towards the bottom of the crack.
As a result, it flew down seven or eighty meters before the small drone flew to the bottom.
This depth frightened Ye Tian and the others, and everyone was shocked.
At the bottom of the crack, there is no boiling magma, only a patch of rock, volcanic ash all over, and a few small cracks extending into the cliff wall.
Apart from this, there is nothing else.
Next, the small drone flew up from the bottom and began to explore the ladder on the crack cave wall.
Although the ladder is very narrow and extremely dangerous, it looks relatively complete and sturdy, only a few places are slightly damaged!
But this is just what it looks like, but the real situation is unknown. Only on-site inspections can know.
After exploring the ladder on the crack cave wall, the small drone flew to the cave opposite the crack and began to explore the situation in the cave over there.
...
In an instant, twenty minutes passed.
Ye Tian and the others were ready, planning to enter this stone gate to explore, and the air in the cave was almost replaced.
After rapid replacement, the toxin content in the air has been greatly reduced, and the threat is much smaller.
Only Ye Tianhe's two security personnel, and Owen, the archaeologist, were the first to enter Shimen to explore.
As for the others, they can only follow them when they explore a safe path.
Without exception, each of Ye Tian had a safety rope tied around their waists.
The other end of the safety rope is held in the hands of the exploratory team outside Shimen and tied to a few thick stone pillars, which is very firm.
Before entering this stone gate, Ye Tian first squatted at the door, stretched out his hand to remove the volcanic ash on the ground inside the door, and carefully checked the ground.
Next, he checked the wall and roof of the cave inside the stone gate.
After confirming that there were no traps and basic safety, he stepped into this stone gate and settled on a piece of ground that had just been cleaned up.
At this moment, he was holding a heavy police shield in front of him in his left hand, and a metal trekking pole in his right hand to explore the way.
There was a searchlight in front of the heavy police shield, and he himself wore a headlight, enough to illuminate the road ahead.
"Peter and Owen, you follow me closely, step on my footsteps, never act without authorization, and don't touch anything around you at will to avoid accidents."
"Understand, Steven, we will be careful"
Peter and the others nodded in response, including Owen.
After Ye Tian entered the stone gate and walked about two meters inward, Peter and the others did not enter.
Like the first half of the cave, this cave seems to have no traps. There are many variants of ancient Hebrew and murals on both sides of the cave, as well as several ancient sculptures.
Because of the task of exploring the way, Ye Tian and the others didn't seriously appreciate and study these new discoveries. They just took a quick look and hurried past.
Of course, as far as Ye Tian is concerned, there is actually no difference between watching flowers and watching them carefully.
Before entering this cave, he knew all about the situation here, and now he was just performing.
While they were talking, several of them had walked more than ten meters inward.
"DaDa..."
During the journey, Ye Tian did not stop using the trekking pole to tap the ground in front of him to detect the virtual reality.
After detecting with trekking poles, he will use the heavy shield in his hand to perform a second detection, just in case.
Suddenly, the piece of ground he pointed out turned outward without warning, and a black hole appeared on the ground.
Ye Tian's reaction was very quick.
He stopped immediately and made a gesture to stop.
Upon seeing this, Peter and the others immediately stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian probed the hole on the ground.
The hole is not big, but fifty or sixty centimeters square, it is enough to fall a person.
The inside of the cave is pitch black, and it is not clear how deep it is, and it is unknown where it leads to and what deadly stuff is at the bottom.
Due to the angle, Ye Tian could not see much, but it was enough to make a judgment.
"Guys, this is a flap trap. It is a trap made by the Beta Israelis using a hole in the ground. Although it is very crude and crude, it is deadly and should not be underestimated.
This kind of flapping trap will not fail over time, but will become more concealed. Everyone must be careful. We will definitely encounter this kind of trap again."
After introducing the situation, Ye Tian asked Peter and the others to seal the flap trap and put a warning sign to prevent latecomers from stepping into this ancient trap.
Next, he found another trap created by cracks, which was also successfully lifted by Peter.
In addition, there are some characters and patterns carved on the wall of the cave, two bronze candlesticks, and three ancient sculptures.
As before, they didn't take the time to research these things ~www.readwn.com~ all swept away.
Soon, Ye Tian led the team through this cave safely and walked to the end of the cave.
In the front is the entrance of the cave, and outside is the crack that is seventy or eighty meters deep.
Ye Tian stopped about one meter from the entrance of the cave and looked at the dark abyss outside.
Peter and Owen, who followed, also stopped.
Fortunately, it is very dry here, the ground is not slippery, and the **** is not very large, so it is safer to stand in the cave, so you don't have to worry about sliding down.
Ye Tian first took a look at the situation ahead, then took out a few rock plugs and stuffed them into the gaps on both sides of the cave wall.
Immediately afterwards, he used a safety rope to connect himself to these rock plugs.
After taking the safety measures, he walked forward, out of this cave, and came to the edge of the abyss-like crack!
