Chapter 2294: Deep in secret road
The few granite stones at the bottom of the pit were all hung up, exposing a granite slab below.
In the center of this square and unusually heavy stone slab, there is a horse and other crosses carved in it, as well as several mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar, which are very eye-catching.
After the last granite stone was lifted out of the pit and moved outside the prayer house, Ye Tian, who had already tied the safety rope, went down to the bottom of the pit again.
He pretended to carefully observe the granite slab at the bottom of the pit and the situation around the slab, then raised his head and smiled and said:
"Obviously, there is a secret path under this stone slab leading to the depths of the underground. It has been closed for a long time. I don't know if there are any traps. For the sake of safety, it is better for everyone to exit the prayer room."
Hearing this, the guys standing on the edge of the pit nodded, no disagreement.
After that, they left the prayer room, leaving only a few people from Jason to cooperate with Ye Tian.
Next, Ye Tian squatted down, supported one side of the granite slab at the bottom of the pit with both hands, and lifted it forcefully.
In order to make the performance more realistic, his movements are very cautious and quite slow. He pauses for a moment when he lifts a few centimeters to see if there is any abnormality.
The stone slab was very calm, there were no abnormal noises, no crossbow arrows and javelins shot out, and no monsters rushed out from the ground to attack Ye Tian who tried to open the secret passage and grab the treasure.
All there is is a slightly dirty air, which quickly escaped along the cracks in the stone slabs and quickly dispersed throughout the church.
"boom--!"
Finally, the unusually heavy granite slab at the bottom of the pit was lifted again after more than 800 years.
Below the stone slab is a dark hole and a spiral staircase, which is obviously a dense road.
Even though he had already seen this scene through perspective, Ye Tian cheered when the secret passage entrance really appeared in front of him.
"Sure enough, there really is a secret road leading to the depths of the earth, it's amazing!"
Following his cheers, Jason and the others, who were on the edge of the pit, poked their heads and looked towards the bottom of the pit. Everyone's eyes were shining, full of expectation.
When they saw the secret passage entrance that appeared at the bottom of the pit, they immediately cheered excitedly.
The people who stayed outside the prayer room all scratched their hearts, stretched their necks and looked into the prayer room, wishing to rush in immediately to see what happened.
However, before Ye Tian gave no instructions, they could only stay outside the prayer room, continuing to suffer from curiosity.
"Steven, what's the situation at the bottom of the pit? Tell us about it?"
Father Ramirez shouted, obviously he couldn't wait.
The rest of the people staying outside the prayer room, why not be like this, everyone is the same.
"Under the heavy granite slab at the bottom of the pit, there is indeed a secret passageway entrance and a spiral downward staircase. They are all made of granite, very strong and unconventionally constructed.
On the wall at the entrance of Secret Road, there are engraved with the Knights Templar logo, horse and other crosses, and some mysterious symbols, as well as some rusty bronze candlesticks, just like those on the top of the prayer room.
There are no traps here, but the secret tunnel is dark. I don’t know if it’s safe or not. The air quality is still unknown. Further detection is needed. For safety, it’s best to stay outside the prayer room.”
Ye Tian's voice came out of the prayer room and briefly introduced the situation.
Hearing the announcement, the people outside the prayer room became more excited, but they could only stay outside, waiting for the results of further exploration.
At the bottom of the big pit in the middle of the prayer house, Ye Tian carefully observed the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, then raised his head and said to the men on the edge of the pit:
"Guys, put the air monitor down, let's check the air in the secret tunnel first to see if it is poisonous, and then we will start the next step."
"Okay, Steven"
Jason, who was staying at the edge of the pit, nodded in response, and acted immediately.
Soon, the air detector was put down, and at the same time, Mark and another company employee came down.
After standing at the bottom of the pit, Mark and the others immediately started their work, turned on the air detector, and then hung the air detector into the secret tunnel with a safety rope.
The test results were soon released and were reported by Mark.
"Steven, in this secret passage, we did not detect deadly poisonous gas. The air is slightly dirty, but it does not affect health. After all, it is a relatively closed deep underground.
The air in the secret passage is relatively humid. The moss on the steps and walls is the best proof. From this point of view, this secret passage and the underground palace below should have other vents."
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian thought for a moment first, then said excitedly:
"It’s great. The air in the secret tunnel is safe and non-toxic. For us, this is obviously good news. It can reduce a lot of trouble and greatly increase the efficiency of exploration operations.
But for the sake of safety, everyone still wears protective equipment. After we enter the palace deep underground, we will take off our protective clothing after we are truly safe.
Take back the air detector, put the ventilation equipment into this dense passage, and completely replace the dirty air deep in the dense passage, just in case, and prepare for follow-up actions.
Next, it’s time to let the drone go down to find the way, and see what is hidden at the end of this secret road, is it the treasure of the Knights Templar we are looking for, or something else"
"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us"
Mark nodded in response, and then acted.
Ye Tian left the bottom of the pit, walked out of the prayer room, and joined David and the others.
At the same time, Jason and the others hoisted two powerful replacement fans to the bottom of the pit~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and began to replace the air in the secret tunnel.
Ye Tian, who left the prayer house, was immediately surrounded by the guys outside, and asked about the secret road at the bottom of the pit.
Ye Tian didn't conceal it, and truthfully introduced the situation of the secret road, including the air quality that had just been tested.
When I heard that this secret passage and the underground palace had other vents, Father Ramirez immediately asked in surprise:
"Steven, where might this vent be located? Why hasn't anyone noticed it in the past seven to eight hundred years?"
Ye Tian shook his head gently, and said with a smile:
"I don't know where this vent is. Maybe it's in an inconspicuous corner inside Tomar Castle, or in the ravines and valleys outside the castle.
also does not rule out this possibility. The palace located deep underground may be built on the basis of an underground cave. The vents are connected to some caves, which may also be outlets.
Don’t worry, Father Ramirez, now that we have discovered this secret passage, the underground palace at the end of the secret passage, and even the vents, I believe it will appear soon."
Ten minutes passed before talking.
Under the action of two powerful fan replacements, the air in the secret passage was completely changed, and the air was immediately fresher, no longer much different from the outside world.
Mark and the others, who stayed at the bottom of the pit, turned off the fan and then put a drone with a high-definition camera and a strong light searchlight into the dense road, and flew along the spiral staircase to the depths of the dense road.
