Chapter 4777: Crossing the Barrier

Hearing Qiu Yuluo's words, everyone rushed over.

Under the corpses, we saw a smooth stone slab about two meters square.

Everyone realized that something was wrong. This was a cave, and the walls around it had not been deeply polished.

Looking at this stone slab again at this time, it seems very abrupt.

Qiu Yuluo squatted down and knocked on it, and a hollow sound came out.

Everyone's eyes lit up. According to past experience, this place is likely to be a secret passage!

"You all give way."

Song Jinmin walked to the front of the crowd, pushed the remains on the ground aside with a stick, and knocked on the stone slab. There was indeed a hollow sound.

Finally, he looked carefully again, found the gap around the grouper, inserted the dagger into it, and lifted it up with force.

Finally, everyone worked together to lift up the stone slab and found that it was a secret passage. A damp smell was pouring up from below.

You can also see smooth steps extending all the way to the depths.

"Check for another half an hour. If there are no problems here, we'll set off."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone began to check carefully. Only after finding nothing did they get ready and head towards the depths of the secret passage.

It was pitch black down there, and there were no words or pictures on the walls. This place was completely different from any place I had been to before.

"It is very likely that you are right. This place is a front-line fortress, not where they live." Lin Jingzhan said.

"If this statement is true, then we can very likely pass through this secret passage, cross the river not far away, and reach the last ten kilometers." Lin Yi said.

"I think so too, but we still have to be careful about the specific situation. This place is full of dangers, and casualties will occur if we are not careful, so we have to be as careful as possible with every step we take."

Lin Jingzhan reminded others again, and everyone's attitude would become more cautious.

In this situation, no one dares to be careless.

In this way, everyone moved forward cautiously, and fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

But at this moment, everyone didn't know where they were and could only move forward cautiously.

After walking for about half an hour, a ray of light appeared in front of them, and everyone became excited.

Lin Yi tried to quicken his pace and came to the bright spot. Just as he thought, it was the exit of the passage.

It was almost the same as when we came in. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were tall bushes around, which could be said to be a very good natural shelter.

Lin Jingzhan took out the map and positioning, "You have done a great job this time. You have successfully crossed the river. If I am not mistaken, this is most likely the last five kilometers."

Everyone was excited to hear this.

No one expected that after coming out of the ruins, they could reach the 5-kilometer point directly.

"It seems that this place is different from what I expected. Although there is still a strong smell of blood, the howling of wild beasts seems to be much less." Song Jinmin said.

After hearing his words, others also noticed this, and it seemed that something was really different.

"This is just a guess. Let's go forward and see what happens."

Lin Jingzhan looked towards other places and said, "Let's rest for an hour. While there is no danger now, everyone should recuperate and adjust as much as possible."

Everyone nodded and started doing their own things.

Lin Yi felt that his condition was still good and he didn't plan to rest. He called Song Jinmin and they went to other places together.

I looked around carefully and cautiously, and indeed encountered some creatures, but they didn't seem to be very dangerous, just like in a desert area.

If the intensity is of this kind, it won't be that difficult for the entire team.

"What's going on? This is so weird!" Song Jinmin looked at Lin Yi.

"You are smarter. Think about what's going on."

"Except for radiation and magnetic field, I can't think of any other possibilities." Lin Yi:

"And look at the creatures we encountered. None of them actively attacked us. This area doesn't seem to be as dangerous as we imagined. It's completely different from what we expected."

"For a place like this to have such an effect, there should be no other possibility except black ore."

Lin Yi nodded, "There should be a lot of black ore or something similar in this place, which has a torso effect on the beasts, but generally speaking, it is good for us. We can advance quickly, and it is not difficult to pass through the no-man's land."

Song Jinmin's expression remained unmoved. "Don't think things are so simple. Danger may be everywhere, it just appears in different ways."

Lin Yi could understand Song Jinmin's caution. After all, they were about to reach the core area. No one knew what kind of dangers existed in this place, so it would not do to be careless.

"Let's go a little further, just to show them the way."

The two of them moved forward, one in front and one behind.

Two hours passed like this, and we had advanced a total of two kilometers.

Although there are some snakes, insects, rats and ants, there is no real danger.

"I think I know what's going on." Lin Yi suddenly said.

"What did you think of again?"

"Maybe the last 10 kilometers aren't dangerous. Perhaps the most dangerous place is the river, which keeps everyone out. But once you cross the river, the situation will be different. The appearance of that strange metal keeps all the beasts out. So the Normans River is the last barrier. If you can cross the river with your own strength, you may not be in danger when you come here again."

"What's your basis? Just because we didn't see any dangerous creatures along the way, do you conclude that this is the reason?" Song Jinmin asked.

"We need to think about it from a macro perspective. If there are a large number of creatures here, they will definitely invade the living space of the Naxi people and then reproduce indefinitely in the forest. So the Naxi people use this method to keep all creatures out. This is the only way to ensure their normal life."

Lin Yi looked forward, "If nothing goes wrong, we can reach the core area as long as we pass through the woods."

Lin Yi's words served as a reminder to Song Jinmin, and it seemed to be true.

"If what you said is right, then the previous guess will also be valid." Song Jinmin said thoughtfully:

"The ruins you found are the outposts of the dwarves. This way, we can reach the territory of the Naxi tribe and attack them."
