Hu Bayi didn't know that Zhuge Qing, who was part of the investigation team, had also noticed something when he said that.
"That cave looks like it was formed naturally, but this deep path seems to have been dug out by someone later.”
Chen Wenjin nodded and touched the wall beside her.
"Even if someone dug it up, it was a long time ago.
However, what was the purpose? Where did this path lead to?”
Chen Wenjin and the others couldn't help but quicken their pace, getting closer and closer to the three people in front.
Hu Bayi took out the compass again. He looked at it again and said in surprise,"
"The interference here is so strong that the compass has lost its function?”
Wu Sangou frowned.
"It's a little strange. It's dark here, and I can't see anything clearly.”
As he spoke, Wu Sangou stopped and opened the treasure chest. It was still the first secret compartment. Soon, he took out a palm-sized flashlight.
"Pa!"
As Wu Sangou turned on the flashlight, the three of them saw the light as bright as day.
Chen Wenjin and the others looked at the powerful torchlight in Wu Sangou's hands in surprise. Then, they looked at the torchlight in their hands that was twice as large but had a pitifully small light source. They exchanged glances.
Hu Bayi teased,"
"Old Wu, is there anything in your box that you can't take out?”
Wu Sangou immediately smiled smugly,"
"Let me tell you this. There's nothing I can't take out if you can't think of it.”
As they spoke, Zhang Qilin, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped. The two of them looked over and saw that there was actually no way ahead.
Chen Wenjin and the others saw this and immediately rushed forward. After checking, they all sighed.
" There's no way out. I didn't expect this to be a dead end…"
Zhuge Qing turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave.
"We can't leave for the time being. We can only wait and see when the poisonous insects leave before we find another way out.”
The members of the investigation team were a little discouraged and rested on the spot. Hu Bayi and Wu Sangou also squatted casually at the side.
Zhang Qilin leaned against the stone wall, thinking about something.
Chen Wenjin pondered for a moment before finally asking Wu Sangou,
"Did you know about this poisonous bug from the start?”
Chen Wenjin had always been brooding over this matter.
She had just checked the notes left behind by Professor Li and could confirm that the insect that Wu Sangou was talking about was an adult and a juvenile, respectively. It was just that the names were different.
Professor Li had studied it for a long time and even named it, but he did not expect that someone already knew about it.
Wu Sangou nodded nonchalantly,"
"In the ten years from 1966 to 1976, a lot of information was burned, and a lot of the wisdom left behind by the ancient people was destroyed.
My family buried those precious ancient books underground, so they could be kept.
These ancient books recorded many things that people did not know at all, and the fire boil poisonous insect was one of them.
This poisonous insect can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. It was a prehistoric species that disappeared during the Shang Dynasty. I didn't expect that I would still be able to see it now.”
Chen Wenjin nodded her head with a complicated expression. She couldn't describe her current emotions.
The scientists had worked so hard to research, and some had even paid the price of their lives, but they were not as knowledgeable as this person in front of them.
If the research team had known Wu Sangou long ago, perhaps they wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble and take so many detours.
Then…
Chen Wenjin had a question in her mind, but at this moment, she had an idea.
Soon, Chen Wenjin took out the ball of paper she found in the wastepaper basket from her pocket and handed it to Wu Sangou.
" This was written by Professor Li. I found it in the dustbin…"
Even though Chen Wenjin did not say it explicitly, her attitude was clearly a sign of her willingness to share her findings. This was a form of recognition towards Wu Sangou and the others.
Wu Sangou took the paper ball and opened it to take a look. Hu Bayi, who had come over, quickly revealed a surprised expression.
"This is impossible. How can there be demons in this world?”
When the members of the investigation team heard this, they looked at the paper curiously and were puzzled.
Chen Wenjin sighed softly.
"I also find it strange. Why did Professor Li write such a passage and then throw it away?
In his notes, he mentioned many times that he saw a girl during the investigation. It was very likely that she was the demon he suspected.
This is not in line with a scientist's professionalism, which is why I don't understand.”
Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin also shook their heads slightly. Clearly, they did not agree with the term demon.
Wu Sangou handed the paper over and said casually,"
"Maybe he wrote it casually. Didn't he tear it down and throw it away later? Don't take it seriously…"
Hu Bayi nodded as well." Indeed. I can understand what you mean by prehistoric species. As for monsters, that's pure nonsense."”
Chen Wenjin nodded. As she reached out to take the paper, Zhuge Qing's voice suddenly sounded,
"Don't move!"
The two of them stopped in mid-air and looked at Zhuge Qing in confusion.
At this moment, Zhuge Qing seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. She slowly approached the paper solemnly and stared at it.
Their breathing slowly froze. They all saw that a corner of the paper was moving slightly.
"It's the airflow!"
Hu Bayi immediately stood up and pulled out a strand of hair. He placed it at the bottom of the stone wall in front of him. As expected, the hair was floating slightly.
"This isn't a dead end, there's air currents inside!”
Hu Bayi's words immediately roused everyone's spirits. They stood up one after another and began to look around for the mechanism.
However, no matter how hard he searched, it was still futile.
"That shouldn't be. There's an airflow here, which means there's still a space inside. There must be some mechanism here.”
Zhuge Qing frowned and looked around. At this moment, Zhang Qilin, who had been silent all this while, raised his head and walked to the wall.
The next moment, when they saw him stretch out his slender fingers and feel around the wall, the people of the investigation team were all curious.
They had noticed earlier that Zhang Qilin's fingers were very long.
At that time, he was puzzled. How did it grow?
"Hehe."
Hu Bayi couldn't help but laugh, winking at Wu Sangou.
"Crack!"
However, at this moment, Zhang Qilin's two fingers suddenly stabbed into the stone wall as if he was stabbing into tofu. Then, he used the strength of his two fingers to slowly pull out a stone from inside!
Following that, the sound of a mechanism rang out, and the stone wall in front of him actually split into two…
……
She had just woken up and was in a hurry to finish writing this chapter before going to eat.
Today, it only broke through 50,000, and the evaluation votes broke through 3,000!
