Chapter 94
Chapter 94 Stalactites
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains!
Above the boundless snow field, a young man came galloping on a horse. The horse was strong and slender, and every muscle on his body seemed to contain endless potential. No one could doubt the running of this horse. speed.
In the barren snowy plain, the figures of the boy and the horse seemed a little lonely.
“drive!”
Ye Qiong rode on the back of the Mustang King, his legs slammed into the Mustang King’s stomach, and the Mustang King’s speed increased again.
The cold wind was biting, but Ye Qiong began to enjoy the feeling of the cold wind blowing across his face.
The wild horse king ran all the way. Originally, the snowy demon wolf had to run for half a day. The wild horse king arrived in an hour. There is another reason for such a fast time, that is, it has not snowed much these days, and now the coal mines and tribes In between, a road more than five meters wide was crushed by the transported vehicles.
The overall transportation speed has increased a lot, and the ties between the tribe and the coal mine have also become very close.
From the discovery of the coal mine a month ago, up to now, hundreds of tons of coal have been transported to the tribe, and they have been stored in the southwest corner of the tribe. Now they are all piled up, and it already looks like a small hill.
Ye Qiong knew half a month ago that the current coal mining speed was sufficient, so the original team of 70 people was cut in half by Ye Qiong, and now there are only 35 people.
In addition to mining coal mines, these thirty-five people are also responsible for the fortifications here. The beast tide on Xuexing may strike at any time, and the mad crowd will also appear from time to time.
In the past, the Ye Qiong tribe would only build fortifications in the selected habitat to survive the long winter. Now that they have settled down, any base outside the tribe must be fortified. This is a must. The premise of guarantee, followed by mining.
After all, mining can be slower and more stable, but if the fortifications are not done in time, once they encounter a beast tide or a mad crowd, the soldiers responsible for mining will definitely be bloodbathed because of the number.
Preventing troubles before they happen, city defense construction is very important!
If you don’t do it well, it will be an empty bamboo basket.
Although the speed of development is important, compared with the lives of the clansmen and warriors, it has to take a back seat…
The team of thirty-five people is now completely managed by Rongling. Ye Tianlong will come to check it from time to time. Now there is a road between the coal mine and the tribe. When the weather changes, Rongling will take the soldiers first. Time to rush back to the tribe.
Ye Qiong stopped at the entrance of the cave. The King of Wild Horses had not stopped for a moment since he set out from the tribe, but looking at it now, he was not too tired, but he was breathing a little faster.
Rongling can see Ye Qiong from afar. Now Dakui and Danny are helping to mine the coal mine. Ye Qiong only visited once a fortnight, and spent the rest of the month in retreat and research. Repeater.
And Ye Qiong came here this time to see the current exploration of the cave. According to Ye Qiong’s previous instructions, the exploration of the cave was not in a hurry. Now Ye Qiong doesn’t know how deep it is.
It was also that Rongling got a few torches and walked in with Rongling and five soldiers.
The soldiers are responsible for lighting the lights in front. Now, every 20 meters, there is still a wooden barrel grease lamp. After exiting, the soldiers will turn it off. Therefore, the ten barrels that were put in for the first time are still left. next half.
The depth of the cave was far beyond Ye Qiong’s imagination.
For a month, under the leadership of Rong Ling, after the tribe has extracted solid oil, it will be sent over and put into the cave, one every 20 meters, very regularly. So far, there have been exactly eighty!
Converted to distance, that is 1.6 kilometers.
This point and six kilometers, on the plain outside, is actually not worth mentioning, but in such a mountain, it is very deep and abrupt.
The more you go inside, the quieter it gets, the temperature gradually rises, and the opening gets bigger and bigger. At the position one kilometer away, the cross-section is already 30 meters wide and 40 meters high. Ye Qiong and the others are seven. Walking inside, it seems a little small.
After 1.5 kilometers, water droplets began to appear above the cave, sound, drop by drop on the stalactite.
The water droplets dripping from above are very rich in minerals, so the dripping is high.
The arrangement of stalactites is very irregular, the highest can reach two meters, and the shorter ones are tens of centimeters.
Ye Qiong knew very well what kind of benefits this kind of cave would bring to the tribe if it was safe, so the exploration would not stop.
All the way to the position where the wooden barrel grease lamp disappeared, everyone stopped.
The wooden barrel grease lamp, from the initial position on both sides, has now been placed in the middle position.
After the small flames ignited, they danced in a bewitching yellowish dance.
The light of a few torches can completely cover the light of the grease lamp, but the light is still very weak, and you can’t even see the walls on both sides.
It was dark in front of it, and behind it was a straight and strange wooden barrel grease lamp, which gradually became smaller as the distance became farther, and finally disappeared.
Standing here, only the twentieth wooden barrel grease lamp can be seen, and further back, it is still pitch black.
The line stopped, Ye Qiong looked around, then held up a torch and walked towards the wall on the right.
Standing in front of this wall with a height of more than 40 meters, it has a very visual impact. Converted to the height of the building, it is about as high as a fifteen-story building.
Humans standing at the bottom are very small. The light from the torches in their hands can only illuminate half of the height. If they go up, they can’t see anything. They want to let their vision break through the distance of twenty meters in the dark, Ye Qiong had to figure out a way to create a flashlight.
There was nothing on the bare walls.
Too……
If something is carved on the wall, such as patterns and fonts, it will be lively for Ye Qiong.
Although Ye Qiong is very willing to see this kind of scene, and he can accept it, the reality is that there is nothing, just a little damp on the bare wall.
Ye Qiong stretched out his right hand and touched it, then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was actually a faint stench…
Unable to frown, Ye Qiong looked up at the top of the cave again, always feeling that something was staring at him, but the light from the torch in his hand couldn’t reach it.
This gave Ye Qiong a very uncomfortable feeling.
