I'm so tired of traveling all the time

After dealing with the brown bear's corpse, Wen Liang used water to clean the blood off Laura's body, and then continued to walk inside.

This is not a natural cave, but has obvious signs of human repair.

Even though it was daybreak, the cave was still very dark. Laura picked up the lighting stick she had thrown inside, and the surroundings gradually became clear in the dim light.

There were many abandoned boxes and broken utensils around, and there was an old wooden fence next to it, with nets covering the reinforced walls. There were also metal torch stands installed on the walls around, and a brick wall on the opposite side.

Maybe it’s because it’s been too long, or it may have been hit by a brown bear, the wall looks a little brittle, and there are even gaps as thick as thumbs in many places!

Wen Liang walked to the wall and placed his palms on it. He could feel the cold wind coming out from the cracks.

"There should be a passage behind this wall to the other side. I can feel the wind blowing over there."

Laura was checking the body of a deer in the cave. It had been gnawed by a brown bear and looked very fresh. Laura took the antlers and half of the relatively intact skin from it!

Laura handed the harvest to Wen Liang and asked him to help put it away. She walked to the wall and said, "There is a passage behind it. It seems that someone built this wall on purpose."

As he was about to pick up the pickaxe to pry open the wall, Wen Liang took out a long-handled hammer and said, "Let me do it. This is faster!"

Laura looked at the big hammer, made way for the wall, shook her head and smiled, "It seems I still need to get used to it. It would have been nice if you were with me during the previous adventures!"

This was not the first time that Laura had expressed such emotion. Xiaoxiao did not say much. Seeing Laura make way, he swung the sledgehammer and hit the wall hard!

boom! !

A cloud of dust filled the air and half of the wall collapsed. It seemed that it had been there for too long and the wall was very loose.

Then another hammer hits it, and the passage is basically opened.

The two men crawled through the gap in the wall, and behind them was a long stone passage. Although there were not many traces of human beings, the smooth passage was obviously not formed by nature alone.

After passing through a passage of more than ten meters, there is a three-meter-high platform. After jumping down, there is a crack in the mountain ahead.

Looking up, the turquoise roof covering the passage ahead looked like a thick layer of ice. Below was a canyon crack extending into the distance, about one meter wide, and only enough for one person to pass through at a time.

There are still traces of ice and snow on both sides of the passage. Perhaps because there is no cold wind, the temperature has risen slightly.

As we went forward, the passage became lower and lower until we could only pass through by bending over.

After walking for fifty or sixty meters, just when the two were wondering whether the road ahead would be blocked, they suddenly emerged from a half-meter-high ice and snow cave!

The scene before them shocked the two men. It was as if they had entered the belly of a mountain. The thick layer of ice above their heads pressed very low, as if it would fall off at any moment!

However, the ice layer emitted a faint blue light, making the cave look not so dark.

There was also water flowing down in the middle, I don't know if it was melted ice or spring water seeping out from somewhere. These water flows forward, converges into a stream, and buries the passage ahead!

"This must look very cold!" Laura whispered.

"Don't tell me we are going into the water?" Wen Liang seemed to have already felt the cold icy water!

"You can swim, right?" Laura asked suddenly.

"Of course!" Wen Liang said, and took out two simple underwater breathing apparatuses. "It seems that I made the right decision to prepare these."

"What a foresight! Let's go." Laura picked one up and put it in her mouth, then walked into the water first.

Wen Liang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and jumped into the water.

With a "plop", cold water instantly seeped in from the collar, cuffs, and trousers, wrapping Wen Liang tightly!

Wen Liang immediately felt that most of the heat in his body seemed to have been taken away at once, and he began to tremble unconsciously!

Looking at Laura who had already swam forward, Wen Liang paddled hard to catch up.

After the activity started, Wen Liang felt much better. Perhaps he had adapted to the temperature of the cold water and it didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

After swimming about 20 meters, Wen Liang saw an arched brick gate. After passing through, the traces of human presence inside became more obvious.

In addition to deep flowing water and thick ice covering the area, brick doors, pillars and broken walls can be seen from time to time.

It was no longer possible to swim on the water surface any further, so I could only dive using a scuba diving apparatus.

Fortunately, Wen Liang has taught himself and has gone diving many times on the island. Now when he dives into the water again, he feels a familiar feeling.

The two of them walked one after the other, and when they surfaced again, the surroundings had changed drastically.

Climbing up the stone steps, we found that the terrain in the cave was complex and varied. Due to the thick ice, the environment was complicated and unpredictable.

Sometimes it was a flat ice and stone road, but after a while, there was suddenly a cliff and we could only move along the stone wall.

Half an hour later, Laura's pace in front suddenly slowed down. Wen Liang caught up and discovered a spectacular scene.

An ancient warship appeared on the stone wall opposite the cliff, hanging upside down on the ice, with its belly buried in the thick ice cliff and a bunch of thick icicles on the horizontal mast.

"Byzantine warship? How did it get here?" Laura muttered in confusion.

"I never thought there would be such a spectacular scenery in this cave. It might have rushed in with the water and then been instantly frozen there... Otherwise, I can't imagine how it was frozen vertically on the cliff?!" Wen Liang sighed and couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone to take a picture.

This kind of scenery is not common, take a picture as a souvenir!

"We have more important things to do, let's go first!" Laura looked away reluctantly and turned to leave.

She is an explorer and archaeologist herself, and is particularly fascinated by unknown phenomena. Looking at this battleship, of course, ignited the raging fire of curiosity in her heart!

If there wasn't something more important, she would definitely stay and find out the truth!

The two helped each other climb up the cliffs layer by layer, and soon they saw the wooden plank road extending upward above. Although it was a little damaged, most of it was still usable!

"Pay attention to the broken place, we will go up from here." Laura said as she walked up along the plank road.

"I wonder who built these plank roads here. They seem to lead to somewhere?" Wen Liang wondered as he walked.

"Yes, it's the Mongols. They also searched for the Divine Source and attacked the Lost City... They passed through here. We must be very close to the Lost City!"

The two walked forward for five minutes but had not yet reached the end, so they took a break and started jogging.

After a few minutes, there was no trace of the wooden plank road anymore, and ahead was a cave passage at a three-way intersection.

"Which direction?" Wen Liang still trusted Laura's judgment on this aspect.

Laura thought about it carefully and shook her head, "The terrain in these three directions is all downward, we should go up... I remember there was a cliff where we passed just now... Let's go over there and take a look!"

The two retreated to the cliff, with the other side only three or four meters away.

"Can you jump over it?"

"Of course!" Laura responded affirmatively, "Watch me, I'll pull you over when I get over there!"

"Okay...right, fasten the safety rope first!"

After getting ready, Laura took a running start, accelerated, and suddenly jumped up and rushed to the other side!

However, just after flying more than half the distance, Laura's figure suddenly fell down! !

Before Wen Liang could feel worried, Laura nailed the pickaxe in her hand hard into the cliff, stopping her falling body!

Wen Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Laura had safely reached the other side, even though she was still two or three meters away from the passage above.

Laura climbed up nimbly, then nailed the safety rope to the thick ice and gave Wen Liang a thumbs up.

Wen Liang glanced at the abyss below his feet, stepped back a few meters, took a deep breath, quickly accelerated, and suddenly jumped up from the edge of the cliff----

At the moment of jumping, Wen Liang suddenly calmed down. He felt that he could definitely jump over safely!

Da~

The figure drew an arc above the abyss, and then landed steadily on the opposite side!

This operation surprised Laura, and Wen Liang himself had a different feeling: he had a more accurate understanding and control over his physical fitness!

The two continued to run forward, the passage became narrower and shorter, and soon a pool of water appeared, and they could only dive through the front.

The two put on their respirators and dived into the water again. The cold feeling was still there, but they were not as scared or repulsed as before.

After a while, when the two emerged from the water again, they happened to see a ray of sunlight shining in front of the pool.

"Out!"
