Edge of the Apocalypse Chapter 1060: Great city in the mountains
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!
A damaged carriage was dismantled. Soldiers removed wooden axles and planks from the carriage, and then carried them to the depths of the cave. Here, Allen has cut a square exit with Chi Feng. Soldiers bring wooden boards to spread it on the edge of the exit, and then fix it with axle diagonal braces to prevent the debris from collapsing at the exit. Allen took Regis and Laura to explore the way first. They walked out of the cave with torches and came to the stone path paved along the mountain wall. This stone path seemed to be cut out from the mountain and headed towards the dim space below. The **** of the stone road was gentle, and to prevent accidents, a few people walked against the mountain wall. The light of the torch can only illuminate things within a few meters of the surrounding area. The space in this mountainside is extremely empty, and it is difficult for the fire to illuminate the entire space.
The stone path passes by some rock pillars from time to time. These huge pillars that require a few people to hug are not known whether they are natural or artificial. They support the mountain's belly and prevent it from collapsing. There are so many stone pillars, Alan alone has passed a dozen of them along the way. As for the darkness, I don't know how many such pillars remain. This mountainside space is like a giant stone hall. Allen doesn't know how big the stone hall is, let alone where it leads to.
Space itself is a kind of power. In this inexplicably open mountainside, even Regis was silent and silent all the way.
Alan stopped suddenly.
In the firelight, you can see that the stone path begins to change direction. It no longer extends along the mountain wall, but extends towards the center of the mountain with a gentle curve. Allen squinted, the light of the torches in everyone's hands continued to increase, and the flames even rose to a height of one meter. Under the influence of the King of Fire, the light of the torch has greatly increased, and the visible range has also increased. The few people in it are all powerhouses over the 20th level, and a little light is enough for them to see a lot of things, not to mention the fire light now. Everyone, including Allen, saw that under this firelight, a stone path stretched from the stone pillars. In the distance, this stone path connects to a magnificent stone bridge, and the stone bridge extends into the darkness in the distance. Allen threw the torch hard, and the torch rotated to form a ball of fire.
The fire pierced through the darkness, illuminating a corner of this mountainside space. It can be seen that there are other stone roads between the roots of stone pillars. No matter where they originate, these stone roads extend and border the magnificent stone bridge in the middle. This is simply a transportation network that exists in the middle of the mountain!
The torch eventually hit a stone pillar and bounced off again. The flames kept going away and eventually disappeared.
Ellen turned around and exchanged glances with Regis and said: "We seem to have come to an incredible place."
They returned to the cave again. By this time everyone in the team had almost rested, and the wounded soldiers regained their lustre after eating and drinking. Especially knowing that they don't need to be trapped in a cave, these men have fighting spirit in their eyes again. They are not afraid of powerful opponents and the hardships of the journey. But if you know that you are going to die in a cave, you will feel the feeling of dying slowly, but life is better than death. Now that new hope is in sight, the soldiers naturally rekindle their fighting spirit.
Under the arrangement of Fares, ten mountain king fighters and five inch fire shooters formed an exploratory team, and followed Allen at the forefront of the team
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Their task is to help Allen find and clear the dangers and obstacles, followed by the seriously wounded and merchants, including a few trucks, and finally, Fares and other fighters. The team left the caves one after another and walked up the cliff mountain road. There is no guardrail on the other side of the mountain road, but the road is wide enough, even if two carriages are in parallel, it is more than enough, so there is no need to worry about falling down unless the mountain road collapses.
There were dozens of torches lit in the team, and the group of flames looked like a fire dragon from a distance, passing through the space where I don't know how many years of silence. When they walked through the curve, they saw the stone bridge in the center of the mountain's belly space. This stone bridge seems to be excavated directly from the mountain. The bridge surface is tens of meters wide. The rock under the bridge stands steeply. There are bridge holes, and the sound of running water can be heard in the dark.
Walking on the stone bridge, Ian trembled, and bowed to the ground. He and Allen walked together, and the latter did not stop him. Allen could understand the shock in the old man's heart at the moment. Even he was excited about the space of the mountain and the stone bridge. What's more, Ian, who grew up in Frostwind City, set foot in the mighty underground tunnel and witnessed the underground miracles that ancestors had seen. , How can Ian be calm?
In the end, Alan helped him up. Ian rode on his thin horse, with moist eyes, and said to Alan: "I never thought I would be able to get here one day. How long has it been before Allen My lord. If I can go out, I can proudly tell the world that what our ancestors said is true, and there is indeed a big underground tunnel!"
Allen laughed without answering, he took the lead. The stone bridge stretches for several hours, and it is probably evening now. At this time, other things appeared in front of the stone bridge. It is an archway, a huge arch directly cut into the mountain. It is nearly 100 meters high and has the same width as the bridge deck. It is perfectly connected to the stone bridge. The arch is hollow, and there are totem-like stone pillars on both sides of the door, but the two stone pillars seem to be carved out of the mountain like the door, and the upper and lower ends of the stone pillars are integrated with the mountain wall.
You can see that there are two braziers in front of the arch. When Allen threw the torch into one of them, there was only the light of the torch. Gradually, the flames lighted up, a few seconds later, a flame sprang up, sparks splashed all over, the brazier was blazing, and the ointment preserved by the secret method was still working. Allen did the same. After both furnaces were lit, the arch stone bridge was illuminated within 100 meters.
The team took a temporary rest on the edge of this huge arch. Allen stood by the door and could feel the wind blowing from the door with some moisture. I vaguely saw the faint blue light in the darkness inside the door, and didn't know what it was emitting. Laura walked to Ellen's side and whispered her nose: "We are not alone here, I can feel something in the dark. It's best for us to pass here quietly so as not to add to the trouble."
Alan nodded and said: "Ian didn't say that their ancestors found cavemen in this big tunnel. I guess those things should not be hospitable owners."
Lola smiled and said, "You still make jokes at this time, so I can rest assured."
Ellen shook her hand.
Ten minutes later, the team continues to set off. Passing through the archway, there is a square under the fire light, and a statue about 100 meters high stands in the middle of the square. I don't know it is
(To the end of this chapter, please turn the page) On purpose, the head of the statue disappeared under the erosion of the years, but it can be seen that this is a woman, or a goddess. The cornerstone of the statue is engraved with rose flowers, as if it has a certain symbolic meaning.
Passing around the statue and passing through the square, you can see a gentle **** climbing up. After walking up the gentle slope, a city appeared in everyone's eyes. This is a city excavated from a mountain. The city's buildings are distributed in a long and narrow shape. The tall and low buildings are densely distributed to the dark and deep. You can see the void beyond the edges of the city. There is a blue light faintly shining under the void of the mountain, so even without the help of firelight, the powerful Alan can also use those underground blue light to get a panoramic view of the city.
Urban buildings fluctuate depending on the terrain, and there is often a drop of ten to tens of meters between the two buildings. The mountain platform on which the buildings are located should appear to be flattened by humans. After all, there is no such a regularity in nature. The topography of the platform. Platforms and platforms are connected by arch bridges or curved slopes. Each platform is a block, and this city does not know how many blocks are formed!
Because it is located in the mountains, there is no suspense, the city's buildings are basically made of stone. The long and square, processed stones have been piled up into simple and plain houses, but under the erosion of time, most of the buildings have collapsed, and you can only imagine the glorious past of the city from the ruins. Walking on the streets of the city, you can also see diversion canals built on both sides of the street. There is a deep well for storing water every ten meters or so, and there are statues or trees dotted between the houses. It's just that the diversion canal has long since dried up, the storage well is blocked by wormwood, the statue has become a broken stone, and the trees have been dead for thousands of years.
"What is going on here?" Allen said softly, naturally no one can answer this question.
Edward next to him said solemnly: "It's not right."
"How?"
"Let’s not talk about how time-consuming and labor-intensive it is to hollow out the mountain in the belly of the mountain, build the city and the stone bridge outside, and the complex transportation network that obviously leads to other places. The strangest thing is that I don’t know you Have you noticed that this is the city. The civilization revealed by the architecture and layout alone does not know how much it will exceed the current age of the Bairegon Empire. I bet that the emperor’s capital is nothing more than that, even It’s not as good as that. So the problem is that the ancestors of Frostwind City are also people hundreds of years ago. When they discovered this city, it was obvious that the city was already what it is now. In other words, we It's on an ancient ruin. It may be a thousand years ago, or even longer."
"Then, it is possible to build a city of this size in such a distant age, and the people living in this city are by no means simple."
"You should also know that the ancestors of Idahua have been to this planet. If it were them, it would not be surprising to build a city of this size. You have never been to the City of Gold, but I think it is here. The architectural style is somewhat similar to that of Idahuaxing’s sky city." Allen frowned: "It’s just that I haven’t heard that Idahuaxing people have a hobby of building cities underground..."
"Who knows? Maybe they want to try?" Edward's joke was still cold.
