"Bang! Bang!" The sound of gunfire came from afar.
After a while, Don Quixote and Panza, who had gone to watch and get first-hand information, came back and reported to Lin Dong: "Mr. Wood, the results of Reynold's test are out. At the first camp, the power of the guns is 30% weaker than on the ground."
Lin Dong nodded to show that he understood.
He was not familiar with guns.
But he could sense the abnormality in this place. An invisible force enveloped the whole space. If he looked with his Third Eye ability, he would find that everyone who came in was stained with a red light that was invisible to the naked eye. From the moment they entered the metal gate, they were stained with this red light, except for Lin Dong. And the reason why Lin Dong was not affected was that he used pure spiritual energy to disperse it. It turned out that his body was not absolutely immune to it.
Compared with the Death Canyon under Latin America, this so-called "Holy Land" was more dangerous!
"How long can the metal gate be open?" Lin Dong asked.
"It only lasts for half an hour. There will be another group of people coming in later, and they will bring in more supplies." Philip looked at Lin Dong and did not hide anything. "The Holy Land is very vast. In addition to our group, the higher-ups may send another group to meet us. I don't know who will lead the other group. Maybe it will be 'Giant', 'Golden Spear', or the most experienced 'Wizard'. Although the people from the Plantagenet Dynasty and God's Eye haven't shown any malice for the time being, we can't trust them completely. At the same time, Jonathan and Remiga are our future successors. We don't care about the gains and losses, but we hope that they can return to the surface safely. Of course, your safety is also our top priority, Mr. Wood! "
"Thank you. If there are no special accidents, I will take care of myself." Although Lin Dong had enough power to protect himself, he did not refuse Philip's kindness on the surface.
"Is it safe here?" Fox looked around and found many strange traces.
"The first camp should be the safest place," Philip sighed in a low voice. Philip sighed softly, "But as you can see, we have spent a lot of money to build a defensive base here no less than ten times. What was the result? As long as we leave, everything will be erased by an unknown power. If not for the traces, we would have suspected that this place had been reset by the space-time force! "
A Shadow Warrior of the Darkness Palace ran over.
A box that he would dig up.
Pass it to Philip.
Philip showed the stainless steel box to Lin Dong. "This is one of the secret marks we buried last year. We buried a total of ten secret marks, and this is the only one that hasn't been dug up."
"Poached?" Fox was stunned. "Did someone come here?"
"I don't know either!" Philip shook his head. "This is an unsolved mystery! We used to build a small fortress made of steel here and welded it firmly. We put in a lot of effort to build this fortress, and it took us a lot of effort to dismantle it. But when we left and returned a year later, the entire fortress had disappeared. Not even a screw was left. We can't even imagine how it was taken away! If someone came here to dismantle it, there are no traces of other living beings. Apart from the marks we left, there are no other traces. So I say this is an unsolvable mystery! "
"Will the buried secret marks also disappear because of an unknown power?" Enoko Kazama's expression seemed to want to say that it could be the work of a 'ghost'.
"Sometimes they all disappear, and sometimes one or two will be left behind! Metal, plastic, wood, stone, we have left secret marks of all kinds of different textures. Plastic and wood are the easiest to find, and they have never been left behind, no matter how secretive they are. Metal and stone are better, but the chances of them being dug up are also very high. " Philip handed the stainless steel box in his hand to Lin Dong, hoping that he could learn more through it.
"There are traces of digging up?" Lin Dong looked at it and returned the box to Philip.
"The soil seems to have been dug up from the inside, similar to the way the dead were resurrected in medieval legends!" Fox brought Lin Dong in front of a pile of soil.
"Metal box, it's not a dead person, how can they be resurrected?" Enoko Kazama scoffed at this ridiculous idea.
"Huh?"
Lin Dong lowered his head to look.
He sensed a strange aura.
It was a kind of negative energy with a weak radiation. Because it had been more than half a year, the presence of negative energy had almost disappeared. If not for Lin Dong's strong senses, he would not have been able to detect its existence.
"Someone really came here?" Philip was shocked.
"Whether it was human or not, I'm not sure! But what I'm sure of is that something has been here. "Lin Dong shook his head. There were too few clues, and he could not accurately determine what it was. However, he had carefully memorized the form of this negative energy. If there were more clues in the following exploration, he would definitely be able to track it down.
The people from the Knights Templar returned after testing their guns. Philip immediately ended the conversation.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Because it was still early.
After a discussion, all parties decided to leave enough people here to build a base camp, and then the elite team would continue the exploration.
The Dark Palace and the Eastern European Grand Alliance had the most people left. Some mercenaries were not strong enough, and if they insisted on exploring, they would die. It was better to stay as guards of the base camp. At least they would not have to worry about their lives, and they could get a huge commission.
The Gorse Dynasty and the Eye of God also left some people behind.
Common defense.
Most of the guns were left behind. Only the quick shooter, Duque, and other people who were particularly dependent on guns, continued to carry them.
A group of people carried heavy bags, held flashlights, and walked along the passage step by step. Looking from behind, it looked like a centipede with a hundred feet wriggling in the dark.
They walked for a full five hours in the endless passage.
If Philip had not repeatedly emphasized that there was no mistake, everyone would have suspected that they were going in circles.
"We are not walking very fast. We are basically walking, but we have already walked 30 kilometers." As a member of the CIA, James had a lot of advanced technology on him. For example, the electronic rangefinder that he had installed between his legs could measure his speed and the distance he had traveled by walking. He also had an even more advanced terrain 3D mapping device, but it was a pity that it broke inexplicably as soon as they entered the metal gate. It was useless, and it became a burden for James.
"Only 30 kilometers?" Someone immediately complained when he heard that. "Why do I feel like we have walked 300 kilometers? I'm so tired! "
"Indeed, we haven't walked very far. There are a lot of detours in the middle. In a straight line, I estimate that we are less than 20 kilometers away from the first camp site!" Leonard, the commander of the Knights Templar, suddenly stepped forward and asked Philip, "Philip, how far are we from the second camp site?"
"Three more days!" Philip's answer was simply devastating.
"…" Leonard was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is there a safe place to rest in the middle?"
"I suggest we rest by a small river 50 kilometers ahead, but I can't guarantee that it will be safe there. In previous explorations, several of our members went missing there! "Everyone heard the main point of Philip's words. It was missing, not being attacked.
However, sometimes a disappearance was more terrifying than an attack.
After all, an attack could still be prevented.
An unexpected disappearance was a little strange and impossible to guard against.
When they arrived at the underground river that Philip had mentioned, almost everyone was exhausted. It was not easy to walk 80 kilometers in one go, not to mention that the members of the expedition team were carrying a heavy burden.
The underground river was not big. It was only five meters wide, and the narrowest part of the river was only two to three meters.
The water was not rapid.
The river flowed slowly, and at the smoothest part, it looked like a mirror that could reflect people's faces. Everyone sent out people to test whether the water was drinkable. Among them, James' equipment was the most exaggerated. All kinds of test tubes were used, and the results made Griffon laugh. The water was unbelievably good. It was high-quality mineral water.
"There are fish!" Fox keenly discovered a small fish with an almost transparent body.
"Are these lichens? Why are they so sticky? " Someone found a strange thing by the river. It looked a little transparent. It spread out on the riverbank, its body twisting and extending for tens of meters.
"Lichens?" The mad scientist Parsons shook his head vigorously. "It shouldn't be lichens. Lichens need photosynthesis to grow well. Where would there be a light source here? This should be a special kind of fungus. It lives in a humid environment. As long as there is enough water and inorganic salts, it can live well! It could also be something else, but I can't be sure for now. In short, this is an interesting new species! "
"Mr. Wood should know what this is, right?" Duchess Bloody Mary suddenly pointed at Lin Dong.
"This should be a worm!" Lin Dong nodded.
"Worm?" Everyone was stunned.
No matter what the answer was.
It was not as ridiculous as the answer of a worm.
There was a large area on the riverbank, more than tens of meters long. It was like a plant, and it did not move at all when it saw people. This was a worm?
Andre and Gerrard of the Knights Templar, as well as the guardian knights of the Eden Army, Clay and Victor, laughed wildly. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
"You are so funny, Mr. Wood. If this is a worm, then I will eat it!" Powell, the great white shark of the Eye of Providence, had been wanting to mock Lin Dong for a long time. When Lin Dong entered the underground with the Mayflower Formation, his unparalleled words and actions had given Jeffree, an expert professor, a big slap in the face, making the Eye of Providence a laughing stock among their peers. Now that he finally had the chance, of course he had to fight back!
"Maybe Mr. Wood just named this fungus as a worm. I didn't expect Mr. Wood to have the same naming hobby as Professor Jeffree!" Arius, the flag bearer of the Eden Army, took this opportunity to fire back.
"If we don't get along, then it's useless to say another word!" Lin Dong turned around and left.
"Idiots, you will regret this!" Only Griffon, a hardcore fan, absolutely believed in Lin Dong.
Although he could not tell whether it was a worm or a fungus, he never doubted Lin Dong's words.
In front of so many people.
Would the Heavenly God act like Jeffree and spout nonsense, pretending to understand when he didn't?
Impossible! He was definitely right. It was just that this d * mned worm looked a lot like a fungus!
Duque sneered. "We don't want to argue with a hardcore fan. As long as you're not blind, you can tell whether that thing on the ground is a worm or a fungus! Don't think you can be an authority just because you've studied a little potion. A person who has never been here should watch, listen, and think more, and not speak without thinking! "
"Shut up, Duque. It's fine if you don't say anything. Once you open your mouth, everyone will know you're an idiot!" Griffon was furious. How dare you attack Lord Celestial God? If you dare say another word, I'll beat you up.
"Fox, do you also think that Mr. Wood is right?" Bloody Mary glanced at Fox.
"Yes, I think he's right, and he'll always be right!" Fox chuckled.
"Has your intelligence deteriorated?" Monster Ness mocked loudly.
"No matter how much it deteriorates, it's still ten thousand times better than you! You want to challenge me? You're not qualified! You've evolved into a human. It's still too early for you to have such thoughts, Monster Ness! "Fox retorted without holding back.
"We're talking about the worms on the ground now, nothing else!" Great White Shark Powell laughed.
"Hurry up and catch them and eat them. The worms are all gone!" Fawkes suddenly pointed at the ground. Everyone was completely dumbfounded. The "strange fungus" that had covered the ground like lichen and spread for dozens of meters had disappeared at some point in time.
Were they really worms?
However, when did he escape from under everyone's eyes?
Impossible, there were so many people here, how could something so strange happen? Those were supposed to be motionless fungi, how could they suddenly turn into worms and run away?
