At this moment, a red color appeared in the pool water, presumably the blood of the giant python, surrounding the strange iron pillar.
Wang Yi suddenly asked, "What's going on with that pillar in the middle?" ”
Zhao Yue said: "When you didn't come, I swam over to take a look, the pig iron is cast, it seems to support the top of this cave, right, you see the starry sky at the top of this cave, in fact, it is the result of the natural reflection of many minerals, it looks like a starry sky, we may see it in Snake Town, but it is too high, we can't see it clearly, we think it's a starry sky." ”
"What about below?" Tong Yu asked.
Zhao Yue shook his head and said, "This pool is very deep, I tried to dive a little, along this iron pillar, the underwater iron column is wrapped in water rust, saying that it is water rust, I think it is a mineral in the water, the gold sand may be more, but the bottom is not deep, I can't hold my breath for so long, and the more the buoyancy is, the more salt it is." ”
Wang Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember what I said, in a ruin in the middle of Snake Town, I found a disc, also made of pig iron, could it be the cross-section of this iron pillar?" ”
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up: "You said that the top of this pillar is the disc you found?" ”
Wang Yi frowned and said, "I'm not sure, but you see, the location of this pillar, and if you look at the area here, is it about the same size as Snake Town?" ”
Tong Yu and Zhao Yue suddenly realized that this hall was most likely the underground of Snake Town, separated by a layer of soil that did not know how thick it was.
"This top is curved, so this iron pillar is a little strange!" Wang Yi said thoughtfully.
Tong Yu and Zhao Yue are unknown, so look up, only to see that this dome is an arc, in architecture, the curved top has always given people a sense of grandeur, more importantly, due to the principle of mechanics, those arc tops do not need any support, so the iron column in the center of this is a little strange.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yue didn't understand why Wang Yi was saying this.
Wang Yi thought for a moment and said, "I think this iron pillar is a lifting thing, I saw the top surface of the iron pillar when I was in Snake Town, if this arc top is an upside-down bowl, then there is a hole in the middle of the bowl, this hole is where the iron pillar is embedded, and in the ruins of Snake Town, it is also a circle made of pig iron, and the whole thing looks like a mechanism," After a pause, Wang Yi said with some disappointment, "Unfortunately, we don't know where the mechanism of this iron pillar is, maybe underwater, but it is too deep." ”
Tong Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we swim over and look at this iron pillar, maybe we can find something!" ”
Wang Yi looked at the pool of water, the python blood had not completely dissipated, and he was really a little worried in his heart: "There will be no more strange things below, right?" ”
Zhao Yue smiled: "I just tried it, there should be none, but this pool of water is very cold." ”
The three men deliberated, and took a look at the iron pillar, now trapped here, anyway, can not find a way out, perhaps, there will be new discoveries on this iron pillar.
So, the three of them ate something first, so as to ensure physical strength, and then put all their backpacks on the shore, and they warmed up, and then they walked to the pool.
The pool water was indeed very cold, even a little harsh, and I didn't feel it when I was chased by the giant python just now.
Zhao Yue's physical strength was obviously the best, on the one hand, because he had not just escaped through life and death, on the other hand, he must have been specially trained as an observer in that organization. After swimming for tens of meters in front of them, the three men came to the front of the iron pillar.
Holding the iron pillar, Wang Yi believed his guess even more.
Looking up, the iron pillar went straight up and down, inserted into the dome, because the distance was slightly farther, it was impossible to see whether the interface was as Wang Yi judged that there was a circle of iron rings embedded, but the size of the cross-section could be said to be exactly the same.
"I'm afraid you're telling the truth." Zhao Yue said.
"Go down and have a look?" Wang Yi suggested, he looked at Tong Yu, "You are tired, go back to the shore first!" ”
Tong Yu's leg was injured, and it was difficult to tread water at this time, so naturally he did not dare to take this risk anymore, so he had to swim to the shore.
Wang Yi and Zhao Yue saw Tong Yu ashore, and the two of them decided to dive with confidence.
Taking a deep breath, the two men supported the iron pillar and dived into the pool.
The bottom of this iron pillar is probably due to the long-term erosion of water, and there is indeed a layer of water rust attached to the top, and the tentacles touch it, which is actually some minerals and irregular. After diving seven or eight meters, I saw the body of the giant python floating in the water, and both people were surprised in their hearts, to know that the muscles of this giant python were extremely solid and compact, and the density was very large, but at this time it was suspended in the water, and the buoyancy under the waterhole was also quite large.
Sure enough, it was almost impossible to go any further down, and a powerful buoyancy force made the two a little exhausted.
The breath he held was almost at the end, Wang Yi had no choice but to wave his hand at Zhao Yue, and the two of them swam up at the same time, rushing out of the water, and gasping for breath.
Tong Yu on the shore was cloaked in a coat, and when he saw the two of them float up, he hurriedly shouted, "What did you find?" ”
Wang Yi had no choice but to wave his hand at her in frustration, and then said to Zhao Yue: "The buoyancy at the bottom is too big, what to do?" ”
Zhao Yue gasped and said, "It is impossible to go to the end without professional equipment, I estimate that there are at least twenty or thirty meters of depth below." ”
Wang Yi and Zhao Yue had to return to the shore, and Tong Yu hurriedly inquired about the situation under the water.
Wang Yi said: "If we can't go down, the more we go down, the higher the salt content, so the buoyancy will be greater, and we simply can't dive." ”
Tong Yu sighed and then asked, "What happened to the iron pillar?" ”
Wang Yi shook his head: "Maybe it's been too long, the iron pillar has a layer of mineral material under the water outside, and there is no change beyond that." ”
"The lower the salt, the higher the amount of salt, the more minerals are attached to the iron pillars!" Tong Yu thought for a moment and said, "You said that this iron pillar is like a lift, and it is impossible to move with so much mineral material attached!" ”
Wang Yi nodded, "So I said it's too old!" ”
Zhao Yue suddenly asked, "You said this should be the bottom of Snake Town, right?" ”
"Yes, that's how I analyzed it."
Zhao Yue stood up, walked to the wall, patted hard, and asked, "Is this the Snake Dao?" ”
Wang Yi nodded, "Yes, cross-cutting, all-round." ”
"I now understand where you started to fall, it's the snake's den, the snake road is the way for snakes to go out, and the seven- or eight-square-meter chamber is where these snake pythons sleep and lay their eggs." Zhao Yue pointed to this wall and said, "I don't know if every snake has such a snake cave, but it is certain that such snake caves are not in the minority, and the old wolves may have landed in a snake cave not far from the stone egg hall." So we could hear the voices of two people when we were in the stone pebble hall. ”
Zhao Yue's deduction was not unreasonable, but at this moment, thinking of the old wolf, the three people felt that they were more fierce and less auspicious in their hearts.
Zhao Yue then said, "So, all these places around us may be snake paths or snake dens." ”
"Yes," Wang Yi pointed to the opposite side, "if the judgment is correct, that side is the snake's nest, the deep pit behind the snake town." Wang Yi didn't know where his sense of direction came from, and he was able to guess so surely.
"That's what I want to say, if we keep climbing along the snake path, then we can only get lost, can't discern the direction, and are trapped in the snake path forever, what if we follow one direction?"
"You're going to make a hole?" Wang Yi looked at Zhao Yue in disbelief.
