Chapter 3120: 1 way down

While talking, Ye Tian and the others had walked six or seven meters down the cave.

After turning an arc, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

The many members of the joint exploration team staying at the gate of Solomon's Temple, like the countless viewers on the live broadcast, can only use the video screen to grasp Ye Tian and their movements.

The team that entered the cave to explore was personally led by Ye Tian. He carried a heavy police shield and a sharp jungle machete in his hand and walked at the forefront of the team.

Followed by Peter and an Israeli security team.

Peter carried a bundle of safety ropes, and released as he walked.

He also kept stuffing rock plugs into various gaps of different sizes on the right side of the cave wall, and then connected the safety rope to those rock plugs with a quick hook.

As for the Israeli security team member, he is responsible for arranging wires and lighting fixtures.

Next came Pique and another Israeli security officer, who were responsible for dispersing powerful snake repellent and scorpion repellent, and scattered these drugs in every corner of the cave.

Especially in those horns and small gaps, all the Israeli gold scorpions and venomous snakes hidden in them will be driven away.

At the end of the team, Derek and an Israeli security team member.

Derek is responsible for operating a small drone for reconnaissance, and the security team is responsible for protecting him from accidents.

Without exception, everyone in this exploratory team wears a full set of protective clothing, and protective measures are in place.

Just in case, they also brought snake venom and scorpion venom serum, as well as a small tank of oxygen cylinders for each person.

More than ten or twenty meters below the team, a small drone was flying slowly down the cave, investigating the situation ahead.

And behind this exploratory team, there is a small drone, filming the exploratory team's actions.

With the entry of this exploration team, this cave, which has been shrouded in darkness for more than two thousand years, finally ushered in the footsteps of mankind once again.

Wherever they went, the cave became brightly lit, and the darkness was completely dispersed.

While moving, Ye Tian, ​​who was walking at the forefront of the team, suddenly made a gesture to stop moving forward.

Following his gesture, Peter behind them immediately stopped and stared at the surroundings and on the top of the cave vigilantly.

Seeing this scene, the guys who stayed outside the cave, and the audience in front of the countless live broadcasters, suddenly became nervous.

At the next moment, Ye Tian swung his knife out suddenly and patted it on the wall on the right side of the cave.

When he took back the jungle machete, everyone saw that the two Israeli golden scorpions that had just crawled out of a gap on the right side of the cave wall had been slapped to death by the back of his sword.

Before everyone could react, the heavy shield in his hand had been smashed onto the next step!

"boom"

There was a muffled noise in the cave, but it was a little empty.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said:

"Everyone, be careful. This should be an ancient flap trap. Mark this trap and seal it off completely. Be careful when passing by."

"Understood, Steven, leave it to us"

Peter who followed nodded in response.

The TV viewers who watched this scene were amazed.

"How did this guy discover these dangers? His eyes are too sharp, and his reaction is amazing. It's just a monster!"

When people were amazed, Ye Tian also picked up the heavy police shield and continued to explore forward.

Then Peter, who followed up, immediately marked the old flap trap to remind the members of the exploration team who entered.

As for the work of blocking this flapping trap, the security team who followed up later would complete it.

In this cave, which many people call the Way of the Prophet, apart from some flap traps made with small holes and cracks, it seems that there are no other traps.

Limited by terrain conditions, there are very few such flap traps, and only one will appear if they are far apart.

For Ye Tian, ​​who was at the forefront of the team, it was very easy to find such traps.

Of course, this is not the case on the surface.

Compared with these flap traps, the Israeli golden scorpions and black mambas remaining in the cave, as well as the Night Demon Snake, are the biggest and most deadly threats.

They entered the cave only about ten meters, and they have successively shot a dozen Israeli golden scorpions and a black mamba about fifty centimeters long!

It was naturally Ye Tian who was in the forefront to do this.

Then I walked down a few meters, and the Israeli gold scorpion and black mamba statues on both sides of the cave wall finally appeared in front of everyone.

Although they had seen these two stone sculptures on the surveillance screen before, they were still a little shocked when they saw them again at this time.

Ye Tian gestured again, and everyone stopped immediately and admired the two ancient and strange stone sculptures up close.

Especially the golden scorpion tail hook that reached the top of the cave, and the high black mamba snake head, it was frightening to look at, full of death.

At the same time, the two stone sculptures also appeared on the live broadcast again.

Compared with the surveillance pictures taken by small drones before, the pictures now are undoubtedly much clearer, and the shock to everyone is even stronger.

"Wow! How did the Beta Israelis over 2,000 years ago do all this? It's incredible!"

"From the situation in this cave, we can see that Aksum, who lived here more than two thousand years ago, and the Beta Israelis who lived here indeed possessed an amazing civilization!"

People were amazed at the picture before them and sighed for the ancient civilization that passed away.

Especially many historians and archaeologists, seeing these images, their eyes shine directly.

They wish they could enter this dangerous cave immediately to appreciate and study the relics of those ancient civilizations.

Deep in the cave.

Ye Tian admired these two ancient statues for a while, and then observed the scene.

On the two carved stone statues, as well as the walls and ground next to them, and the roof of the cave, he did not find the hidden Israeli golden scorpions and poisonous snakes.

This section of the cave is completely integrated, there are no cracks, and there are no upside-down stalactites on the top of the cave.

As for whether this occurred naturally, or whether the Beta Israelis deliberately did it, it is unclear.

After a quick observation of the situation here, Ye Tian said:

"Guys, there is no need to clean the two stone statues, nor the walls on both sides of the cave. These things are left to the people behind. Those experts and scholars will definitely like this work. Let's continue to explore."

As he said, he stepped out and walked forward.

Peter and the others smiled, and then followed.

Seeing them unimpeded all the way, they didn't encounter much danger. Those guys who stayed at the entrance of Solomon's Temple could not bear it.

As he was on the move, Owen's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, when can we enter this cave? Everyone can't wait to enter the cave as soon as possible to explore!"

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then replied through the walkie-talkie:

"When we arrive at the cherubim statue in front, if nothing happens, you can enter this cave to explore, but you must obey the command. I don't want any accidents."

Before the words fell, there was a burst of cheers on the rear platform.

"Awesome, Steven, just wait for your words!"

Owen and they all cheered.

Immediately afterwards, these guys began to prepare.

Within a short time, Ye Tian and the others had come to the front of the cherubim statue and stopped again.

Here, they did not find any traps!

There were only a few Israeli golden scorpions, and they were disposed of in a blink of an eye.

Although the Israeli golden scorpion is extremely poisonous, if it only appears scattered, just be careful, the threat is not very big!

Everyone is wearing high-waisted hiking boots, the trousers are pierced very hard, and they wear stab-resistant gloves. The protective measures are in place and they are generally not stung by the golden scorpion!

Of course, if it is the Israeli gold scorpion that is flooding like a tide, that is another matter.

In comparison, the faster moving and more mysterious Black Mamba and the Night Demon Snake pose a greater threat to everyone!

After standing still, Ye Tian first admired the cherubim statue on the cave wall and checked the scene.

Confirming that there is no trap here and it is relatively safe, he said through the walkie-talkie:

"Gentlemen, you can enter this cave and start exploring, and I remind everyone again, you must pay attention to safety, obey the command, and don't act without authorization!"

Not surprisingly, a burst of excited cheers came from the rear again.

Immediately afterwards, the brigade of men and horses who had already prepared, under the **** of security personnel, stepped down the steps, walked into the cave, and explored down the cave.

Unlike Ye Tian and the others, the joint exploratory team that entered afterwards would naturally not let go of those relatively flat cave walls and various other things in the cave.

Only three or four meters into the cave, they have discovered something.

Those are some variants of ancient Hebrew carved on the walls on both sides of the cave, as well as a few stone murals, and other things.

When several archaeologists wiped off the dust on the walls of the cave and saw these things, they immediately cheered.

"Awesome! Steven, we found some ancient murals and texts. The content carved on those murals is the same as the outside of the temple gate. It is the process of building the temple."

Owen, who found the mural, said excitedly.

As before, the ancient Hebrew variants engraved on both sides of the cave wall were obscured during the live broadcast!

And those ancient murals were completely broadcast live and presented before everyone's eyes.

Looking at these ancient stone carvings and murals, people were amazed at them.

At this time, Ye Tian and the others had come to the first statue of the Israeli prophet in the cave and stopped here.

Compared with the murals carved on the cave wall and the statues seen before, this statue of the Israeli prophet is obviously more shocking and more valuable.

After confirming that there were no traps or dangers at the scene, Ye Tian and the others began to admire the statue of the prophet with confidence.

The figure represented by this stone sculpture is the prophet Jonah of the Kingdom of Israel.

The posture it showed was a man running with a wooden stick, his back connected to the cave wall, but his body seemed to be running forward.

Although this statue was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, everyone recognized this statue at a glance from its unique shape.

While standing in front of the statue to admire, Ye Tian was also explaining.

"The statue you see now is the Israeli prophet Jonah. It shows that Jonah rushed to Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, to deliver a warning of damnation.

Regarding this story, I will not introduce more here. I believe many people know it. If you don’t know, you can check it online. Let’s just talk about the statue of the prophet itself."

Both Peter and the others at the scene, or the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, nodded.

They all understood why Ye Tian did this!

Because he is an atheist, and in this highly anticipated live broadcast, of course, he can't comment on the prophets of Judaism and Christianity at will!

This is undoubtedly a wise move, otherwise it is just asking for trouble.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"To be honest, the statue of the Israeli prophet Jonah found in this cave was a bit unexpected to me. We know that according to legend, Jonah was a prophet who only appeared in the eighth century BC.

However, the time when Menelik I fled back to Ethiopia with some of the Israelites and the treasures of Solomon, was a little earlier than the time when Jonah appeared, and the difference between the two was about 200 years.

From this point, it can be seen that the group of Israelis who fled to Ethiopia with Menelik I did not disconnect from Israel, but maintained close contact.

After the destruction of the Jewish Kingdom by Nebuchadnezzar II of the New Babylonian Kingdom, perhaps another part of the Israelites fled to Ethiopia, which just explained the existence of this statue of the prophet"

Hearing this introduction, everyone was stunned, and then nodded.

Regardless of whether he likes him or not, and even many people who hate him for immortality, they have to secretly admire a few words.

"This guy is really like the legend, knows everything, knows everything, and is a monster!"

After briefly introducing the statue of the prophet Jonah, and admiring it for a while, Ye Tian and the others continued to move forward and continue to explore.

At this point, the **** of the cave has become slightly smaller, but it has become more winding.

Almost every time you walk six or seven meters forward, there must be a turn, and there must be a new scenery.

Fortunately, there is a small drone to explore the road ahead. Everyone knows the situation in the cave basically, so you don't have a black eye and don't know anything!

Not far before, Ye Tian and the others saw the second statue of the Israeli prophet.

What appeared this time was a statue of the Israeli prophet Isaiah.

Isaiah was also a prophet who lived around the eighth century BC, about 200 years after some Israelis fled to Ethiopia.

The statue of Isaiah in the cave, holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand, stands on the left side of the cave, and points forward with a finger, as if telling people something.

This is the most classic image of Isaiah, very easy to recognize.

Same as before, Ye Tian stopped here and gave a brief introduction before continuing to explore.

In the course of the next exploration, they came across many angel statues, large and small, and found one after another statues of Israeli prophets, as well as other statues and so on.

They also found a lot of flap traps transformed from holes and cracks, and encountered deadly Israeli golden scorpions, black mambas, and night demon snakes many times.

But under Ye Tian's leadership, these crises were all shocking, without any accidents!

Where they walked, many Israeli golden scorpions and venomous snakes were turned into corpses, and those ancient and deadly flap traps were also marked one by one.

As a large number of powerful snake repellents and scorpion repellents were scattered in the cave, the Israeli golden scorpions and venomous snakes hiding in every corner hid deeper in the belly of the mountain or left the cave.

Compared to Ye Tian and the others, the exploratory team behind them was much slower.

Even if they did not seriously study the newly discovered ancient texts, murals, statues, etc., it would take a lot of time to just clean them out and appreciate them quickly.

During the exploration, everyone found that beside each statue of the Israeli prophet, there were more or less frescoes about the deeds of that prophet.

There are also many variants of ancient Hebrew.

Although everyone was unable to decipher the obscure and incomprehensible ancient texts for a while, it is entirely conceivable that the content recorded in those texts must be related to the Israeli prophet next to them.

In addition, you also found a lot of Old Testament story murals, as well as murals and texts depicting the life of Beta Israelis, hunting, gathering, farming, and sacrificial offerings.

Before I knew it, nearly an hour and a half passed.

Ye Tian and the others had gone 70 or 80 meters deep into this cave, but they had not yet reached the bottom of the cave, let alone what everyone wanted to see.

The small drone that flew in front to explore the road flew deeper. It has been more than 100 meters deep into the cave and is still flying down the cave.

"Snapped!"

Ye Tian shot like lightning and shot a Night Demon Snake hanging from the ceiling of the cave.

The Night Demon Snake that he flew out directly hit the side of the cave wall, and then slid to the ground.

Its head has been smashed by a jungle machete, and the dead can't die again.

After killing the night demon snake~www.wuxiaspot.com~, Ye Tian looked at a carved stone statue two meters away.

This is another statue of the prophet of Israel, the sculpture of the prophet Jacob.

At this moment, Derek, who was behind to control the small drone reconnaissance, suddenly said with excitement:

"Steven, the small drone seems to have flown to the bottom of the cave. The terrain below suddenly becomes a lot smoother, and the space inside the cave seems to have grown a lot!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian joked and said:

"I think it's time to reach the bottom of the cave. In front of us is a statue of the prophet Jacob of Israel. There are not many prophets who lived longer than Jacob. In other words, we are almost finished walking the path of the prophet!"

Before the words fell, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Wow, this is really good news, otherwise I would really think that this cave goes straight to the center of the earth!"
