Chapter 2506: The winding path leads to the quiet (2)

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!

Ye Tian quickly took off the head of the six-pointed golden scepter embedded in the stone gate, put this priceless treasure into the mountaineering bag, and then reached out and pushed the stone gate completely open.

Following his actions, the secret road behind Shimen, which had been closed for at least a thousand years, finally appeared in front of everyone.

The entrance of this ancient secret road is about two meters high and about 1.8 meters wide. It looks like an irregular gate, but it is made of extremely hard and heavy granite.

After a long period of more than a thousand years, this stone gate has been completely integrated with the environment on the cliff outside. If it were not for Ye Tian, ​​no one else would have discovered the existence of this stone gate.

Entering from this gate is a secret road with a winding path leading to the inside of the mountain.

Where the end of this secret road is, how long it is, whether there are deadly organ traps in the secret road, whether there are a large number of poisonous creatures growing and entrenched, all this is temporarily unknown.

And the more the secret road goes in, the larger the space. Looking in from the door, the ground near the entrance of the secret road is still flat. The walls on both sides and the top are the same. The ancient Mayans should have deliberately repaired it.

Go in from the entrance, about three meters inwards, there are several steps down.

Walking down those steps can be considered as truly entering this secret road. As for the topography of the deeper part of the secret road, it is not visible for the time being. The depth of the secret road is now shrouded in darkness.

Fortunately, or surprisingly, there was no filthy air or poisonous fog accumulated in this secret passage, and no poisonous insects and beasts suddenly rushed out to hurt people.

On the contrary, the air blowing from this dense tunnel is very fresh and humid, and it seems to be a little better than the air in the tropical rain forest where everyone is.

Obviously, this dark secret passage should not be too long, and it is connected to the other side, so air convection is formed.

Ye Tian stood on the side of Shimen for a while, and after confirming that there was no danger, he came to the front of Shimen and looked inside the secret road.

With the help of the natural light shining obliquely into the secret passage, the situation at the entrance of the secret passage suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At the entrance of this secret passage, the ground and the walls on both sides were covered with moss and dust. The ground and walls covering the bottom were not visible.

The top of the cave is also covered with moss, and there are several roots of trees or vines that spread along the cracks in the rocks, hanging directly from the top of the cave.

Because there is no light penetrating into this dense channel and lack of photosynthesis, there are no other plants except moss and the roots of those trees and vines.

In addition, many traces and footprints can be seen on the ground of this dense road, including traces of snake crawling, footprints of small animals, and even footprints of jaguars.

From this point of view, the other side of this secret road should be open, so those animals can enter this hidden secret road, but they are restricted by the stone gate on this side and cannot pass the secret road to the rain forest here.

Ye Tian stood at the entrance of the cave pretentiously and carefully checked the situation in the secret passage, then stretched out the jungle machete in his hand and scraped off a piece of moss and dust on the left wall of the secret passage entrance.

With this action, the dust and moss covering the wall immediately fell.

The next moment, a wet granite wall appeared.

It can be seen that there are several Mayan hieroglyphs carved on that wall, and there seems to be a stone mural, only one corner is exposed, and the rest is covered with moss and dust.

Ye Tian looked at these Mayan hieroglyphs and murals, then looked at the depths of the secret road, and then said loudly:

"Professor Delgado, Hernando, you can come up. As far as the current situation is concerned, the secret passage behind the stone gate is relatively safe, and there is no dirty air or poisonous gas escaping from it.

For the sake of safety, there should not be too many people coming up to check the situation. The rest will wait until we have thoroughly explored this secret path and made sure that there is no danger, everyone will enter it again to check.

Matisse, Jason, you take two small drones and put them in this secret tunnel, check the situation in the secret tunnel, see where the secret tunnel leads, and prepare for the next move! "

After the voice fell, a response came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Delgado and Hernando walked up quickly, a total of six people, everyone was very excited and full of expectations.

When they came to Shimen, these guys immediately looked inside the secret road, turned on the bright flashlights they carried, and shone toward the depths of the secret road.

In the next moment, there were a few more powerful beams in this dark secret passage, each shining at different corners.

As these light beams entered, the situation in the deeper part of the dense road suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Different from the entrance of the secret road, the deep part of this secret road is like a naturally formed cave. Although there are many traces of Mayan modification at the entrance of the secret road, the more primitive it goes inside.

Especially at the top of the cave, about seven or eight meters in from the entrance, there are a lot of upside down stalactites on the top of the cave, dripping with water, smashing small puddles on the ground.

In addition to the puddles, there are several small ditches on the ground inside the cave, crisscrossing and diverting away the water dripping from the top of the cave, avoiding a large amount of water.

These small ditches are all connected together, and finally lead to a corner of the cave, where there happened to be a small opening, and the water in the cave eventually flowed out from there.

It can be seen that there should be a small stream on the other side of this cave, or there should be an underground river under this cave, which can draw away all the accumulated water here.

Another point is that the entrance of this cave is about 30 centimeters higher than the inside. Entering from the entrance, you have to descend three steps to reach the ground.

In this way, even if water forms in the cave, it will not overflow from the entrance, thus exposing the location of the entrance.

Obviously, after the Mayans discovered this natural cave, they took advantage of it. Although the design is primitive, it is very practical!

They knocked off the stalactites on the roof of the cave at the entrance and made some sorting. They designed and built a concealed and thick stone gate to hide the cave.

In the depths of this cave, they didn't deal with it much, at least they didn't knock off the stalactites on the top of the cave, leaving part of the original appearance.

Unlike the situation at the entrance of the cave, there are no plants in this cave, and even the root systems of the huge trees with extremely vigorous vitality can hardly break through the hard granite.

In the depths of this cave, there are only the sound of ticking water drops, and stalactites of various shapes hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

In addition, in the depths of the cave, on both sides of the wall, there are two carved stone statues, which are covered with moss and dust. It is temporarily unclear what the carvings are.

Several powerful beams continued to extend inward ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ until they reached a depth of 134 meters, but they were blocked by an arc-shaped turn and could no longer advance.

As for the situation behind that turn, there is no way to know for the time being, only small drones can be used to explore later.

Seeing the situation in this secret tunnel, Professor Delgado, Hernando and others standing at the entrance were all excited, and cried out one after another.

"Wow! The scale of this cave is not small. I don't know how the Mayans discovered it? How did they transform and use it? What is on the other side of the cave, is it the legendary Golden City?! "

"The Mayan hieroglyphs and stone murals carved on this wall record a battle. This battle should be very famous. I look familiar, but I can't remember that battle for a while."

Seeing these yelling guys, Ye Tian just chuckled softly and didn't say much.

At this moment, Matisse and Jason each came up with a small drone, ready to use the drone to explore this secret passage.
