Endless route

Chapter 127 34. Iron chain chain and mysterious will-o'-the-wisp [two-in-one]

After getting the news that there was a heat source inside, Senko and others immediately took action to enter the ancient ship to see the situation.

Zheng Yun and others were silent, not knowing whether to stop or not. Everyone knew that this place was dangerous, but Senko was trying to rescue his teammates, and it was not easy to persuade him and others.

Senko is a Westerner and may not have a deep understanding of Eastern mysticism about gods and ghosts, but he and others told him about the extreme cold hell before, and he listened very carefully.

No one is a fool. He has chosen this path himself, so let him go on it. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, he will be conceited.

As for myself and others.

I would definitely not rush to help in this situation, because if I don't have any certainty, it won't be of much use even if I go in.

Zheng Yun still has no clue. He has no idea about the origin or explanation of this place. Whether it is this ancient ship or the extremely cold hell, he is completely confused.

Senko was responsible for his teammates, and he also had to be responsible for his brothers. There was no reason to go to help. If something happened, he would die in vain.

Then I can only be a spectator.

At the very least, if something happens, you can give them some advice, which is better than nothing, and it doesn't count as just sitting on the sidelines.

"I'm afraid it's going to be bad, this place looks too weird." Hu Ruihua said, looking at the ancient ship on the screen.

Everyone else nodded.

When Easterners see this kind of thing, their feelings are completely different from Westerners. For Westerners, this ancient ship may represent treasure or money, but Easterners are different.

At least they are different.

Not to mention the tomb robbers.

"Just wait and see what happens."

Zheng Yun made a conclusion.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the screen quietly.

The four of Senko were preparing on the edge of the cliff. They planned to go over the soft rope ladder in mid-air, drill into the ice cave in mid-air, enter inside, and see what was on the ancient ship.

They are not novices either. They all wear oxygen masks and a variety of equipment. Even if something happens, they will still have time to run away.

After a long time.

Senko tested the strength of the ladder and after confirming that it was absolutely safe, he was the first to climb up the ladder. The blond young man followed him, and the two of them climbed back and forth towards the hole.

The video picture is clear.

This hole extends upwards and looks to be about six or seven meters long. There are also artificially dug steps. You can drill up directly from the ice body and go around to the deck of the ancient ship.

The ladder was rickety.

Senko carefully maintained his balance and entered the ice cave from the ladder. The camera screen became narrow, with blue and white ice on the left and right, and some ice particles under his feet.

Someone did come in.

And just in these two days.

Senko held his breath and suppressed the sound of breathing in the oxygen mask, and began to climb up the ice steps.

He looked left and right as he crawled.

The ancient ship was to his left, and through a few meters of ice, the structure and texture of the wooden ship could be vaguely seen.

"There seems to be something wrong. Why does this boat look like it has been burned?" Hu Ruihua suddenly asked.

"It's a bit dark, either oxidized or smoked." Huzi also saw the key.

Zheng Yun's frown deepened. This ancient ship indeed looked like it had been burned, and the burn was not severe. The main structure was not damaged, and the surface looked intact.

But how can the fire come from an iceberg that is tens of degrees below zero? Or was it that the ship was burned by fire before it was frozen?

Think back to before.

The back half of the ancient ship was covered in darkness.

The black shadow might be the same thing. It was burned by fire and blackened the ice wall inside the ice layer.

"You can't see clearly, but this is too strange. Brother Zheng, this..." Xiao Hu turned to look at Zheng Yun.

"Could it be microorganisms? Or some kind of fungus or mushroom-like thing that has chewed up this ancient ship, or has a thin layer grown on the surface of the ship's hull?"

Huzi's words were astonishing.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Because his guess makes sense!

The microorganisms living in this kind of ice layer are probably able to eat anything. The boat is made of wood, so it can definitely be chewed, but the strange thing is that it has not finished chewing?

"Keep watching."

Zheng Yun still had no clue.

On the screen, Senko had climbed to the highest point of the ice cave, just above the deck of the ancient ship. Half of his body was curled up in the cave, and he moved his body slightly to the left.

There is also a hole on the left.

This hole is so small that one can only crawl forward in a huddled manner, even with the backpack on his body.

Senko decisively gave up his backpack, retaining only a mountaineering pickaxe and a portable oxygen bottle in his hand.

The oxygen cylinder in his hand is a long and narrow steel cylinder, which does not occupy a large space but can hold it for a long time.

After giving up the equipment.

Senko looked up and looked ahead.

This narrow passage was in the ice and there were no cracks around it, but after climbing forward for a while, it would become a downhill slope. He had to go out with his head down and fall on the deck of the ancient ship.

He has a rope on him.

And falling upside down is even more dangerous.

So he turned around and asked the blond young man to pay attention. As long as he called him, he would pull the rope immediately.

After saying this, Senko got into the passage.

Through the camera, everyone outside can feel the narrowness of this small hole, the cold air emanating from the surroundings, and the fear and uneasiness of being restricted from freedom.

Because they have experienced it.

There is a section of the underground corpse lake in La Maine that requires lying down to cross, and it is much scarier than this. Underneath you are corpses floating in the murky corpse water, almost face to face.

In comparison.

This is trivial.

Senko's breathing became more and more rapid. Next to him, Luo Rui looked worried and kept swallowing his saliva.

Huzi glanced at them quietly.

They may be great at iceberg rescue, but when it comes to such a magical place, these rescue teams are really unsatisfactory. In front of me, they are all juniors who have never started.

This is the advantage brought by rich experience. Not all rescue teams, with people like Zheng Xiaoge to hold the battle, can survive in La Maine Town and Qianzhou Strait.

However, no one cared about Huzi's small pride at this time. Zheng Yun and others were always paying attention to the ancient ship.

It's even closer now.

But they still couldn't tell whether the ancient ship had been burned or whether it was filled with some unknown and terrifying microorganisms.

Both are scary.

But the latter is obviously scarier.

Zheng Yun had asked the doctor at the hospital before, and the answer he got was that there was indeed a microorganism in the glacial mountains that could eat away all the skin of a person.

If you enter a place full of that kind of microorganisms, it will probably be difficult to get out without losing a layer of skin. It would be better to burn it.

Senko moved on.

His body had fallen upside down, and the camera picture was also facing the deck of the ancient ship, and he could see the hull of the ship without any obstruction.

"How is this going?"

Hu Ruihua gasped.

Although only a little bit could be seen, the surface of this ancient ship was pitch black and wrinkled, looking like burnt particles, as if it had been baked repeatedly.

"It seems to have been burned, right?"

"A burned ship? Why did you burn this ship? What happened to this ship in the first place?"

Xiao Hu asked questions one after another. Apart from Hu Ruihua, he was the more logical person, at least better than Hu Zi.

The more he asked questions.

Others are more silent.

Because you can't see it at all.

Senko also discovered the problem, but his reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, stop at the entrance of the hole and shine a flashlight inside.

It's more obvious.

The boat must have been burned.

And it must have been burned not just once, but many times, and some things on the deck were scorched into glue.

But with the surface burned like this, the hull structure is still intact, the cabin has not collapsed, and it looks like normal.

The picture is very strange.

A dark ancient ship was sealed in ice. There was also a hole on the deck in front of Senko. You could drill directly into this hole when you exited the passage.

"There are many ice picks above this ancient ship." Hu Ruihua pointed at the top of Senko's head and spoke in a low voice.

"Isn't that right? This ship is not completely covered in ice. There is some space at the top of the ship. Is there a problem?"

Huzi asked confused.

"Then this may be the place where the girl was injured. This space is very narrow. She may have been stabbed by an ice pick when entering and exiting the passage."

Sister Wang immediately answered and added.

"But these ice picks have condensed beads, and there is also melted ice on the hull, which means..." Hu Ruihua suddenly looked back at Zheng Yun: "This ship may have been burned here."

Everyone was lost in thought.

There are condensation beads on the ice cones and melting ice on the ship, which means that the ice inside has melted, and the melting of the ice means that sufficient temperature has been provided, which can lead to Hu Ruihua's conclusion.

This logic makes some sense, but it is completely unreasonable, because there are many reasons for melting ice, and it may not be caused by fire. This may be a forced association.

But if it is true.

It seems to explain a lot of problems.

They all looked at the screen, but Senko had already gone down, with his hands lying on the hull of the ancient ship.

Senko's focus was completely different from theirs. The first thing he did after landing was to observe the traces of his footing and see if anyone had entered from here.

It turns out there is.

And there's definitely more than one.

"Is anyone alive?" Senko leaned toward the hole in the deck and tried to call his teammates.

But no response.

He continued to ask.

Still no response inside.

Senko took a deep breath, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, pressed the switch, and asked this sentence again.

Swish swish swish.

The intercom also didn't respond.

If a survivor entered this ancient ship, he must have carried a walkie-talkie, and they would definitely be able to receive the walkie-talkie signal within the scope of the ancient ship.

Swish swish swish.

The intercom frequency is abnormal.

Senko's pupils narrowed and he looked at the walkie-talkie. Everyone outside also followed his gaze and looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand.

After waiting for a while.

"Swish, swish, swish."

"Don't come in!"

A word suddenly rang out.

The speaker's voice was hoarse and weak, as if he was holding on to his breath and gritted his teeth to utter this warning.

Everyone's scalp went numb at the same time.

Luo Rui, who was watching the screen, also shivered.

"It's James, he's still alive."

Sienko remained calm, picked up the headset on his chest, and informed everyone inside and outside the iceberg of the news.

Then he took the walkie-talkie and spoke to the walkie-talkie again: "Where are you, what did you encounter, and why can't you go in."

"Swish, swish, swish."

"Senko, run quickly, there is ghost fire here, there is something unknown, it is coming soon!"

James's trachea seemed to be broken, and his words felt like he was holding blood, and every accent was choking on blood.

"Where are you! What happened to you!" Senko still refused to give up and continued to ask.

"Coming! I heard a sound! Run!" James shouted at the end of his voice.

Snapped.

The intercom stops.

Senko remained motionless, listening with his ears straightened, wondering what the sound in James' mouth was.

But nothing.

No sound could be heard at all.

When James spoke just now, he also did not hear any human voice, which meant that James was probably in a very remote place, and he was not in this ancient ship at all.

Then the problem now is.

Where is James?

Is there a passage underneath this ancient ship that leads to other places, or is he not inside the ancient ship?

"Senke, why don't you come out first?" the blond young man said, he was a little worried about their captain.

"..."

Senko was silent.

A long time had passed since James' warning, but he still didn't hear anything unusual.

Icebergs are different from other places.

Most disasters that occur in glacial mountains are accompanied by sounds and vibrations, from landslides to avalanches, from glacier rifts to glacier runs...

James said the same thing. He said he heard movement, ghost fires and unknown things, but he heard nothing and felt nothing.

"James, are you okay?"

Senko asked again.

He thought he was safe. As long as he stepped back, he could leave this place immediately and let his teammates pull him directly out and into the wide ice room outside.

Swish swish swish.

The intercom didn't respond.

Senko picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to say something again, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a voice!

He suddenly raised his head and looked behind the ancient ship.

He raised the flashlight and shined it into the dark depths of the shadows. Behind this ancient ship, there was indeed an ancient ship! And these boats are actually connected by iron cables! It was artificially fixed and connected with iron cables, turning it into a long ship bridge!

At this moment.

There was a roaring sound in the depths.

This was an indescribable sound, like a huge amount of liquid churning, like air being squeezed, and like something roaring in the empty cave!

Senko stepped back.

He already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

Zheng Yun and others were outside and heard the voice clearly. Zheng Yun's scalp went numb, and he suddenly thought of another place of gods and ghosts recorded on the map of the Immortal Palace of Immortality!

Before he could think about it.

Senko's side mutated and regenerated.

At the end of his sight, a blue-green flame burst out! From an unknown depth, it was like a water pipe breaking and erupting wantonly, sweeping and churning and gushing out!

There is actually a fire!

And it’s really the fire of the underworld!

"Pull the rope!"

Senko immediately asked his teammates to pull the rope.

The blond young man immediately followed the instructions, grabbed the rope with all his strength, pulled Senko into the ice cave, then went down hard, jumped directly off the cliff, and used his weight to pull him out!

Wow!

The flames rushed forward quickly, sweeping through Senko in an instant, passing through him, and erupting along the ice cave towards the outside world.

The blond young man was also covered in flames.

For a moment, both of them were in a sea of ​​fire!

I'm really sorry for everyone. The random text at the end of the last chapter was due to my negligence and dizziness and I didn't delete it. I really didn't mean to make up the word count! Even after deletion, it was still over 4,000 words, so it really wasn’t a scrap. I apologize to everyone! Later, I will deliberately block 4199 words and make up for this loss to everyone! sorry! Let me give you one! Bang bang bang! sorry!
