Seconds and minutes passed…
What was strange was that it should be very difficult to dig in this season. However, the speed of these dozen people was getting faster and faster. It seemed that the lower they went, the looser the soil became.
Moreover, the soil gradually turned from dark brown to black.
Sensing this change, Shen Fei knew that everyone had doubts in their hearts. He went forward to check the accumulated soil and carefully rubbed it in his hands.
He felt that the soil in his hand was very loose and there were some water stains.
Seeing this, Shen Fei understood.
"Everyone can see that the soil below should be very solid. Henan wasn't open yet, so there should be frozen soil one meter below the surface. However, not only is this loose soil black, but there is also some water vapor…"
Upon hearing Shen Fei's words, the staff members subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
Then, Shen Fei continued,"But this can more or less prove that we have indeed found the right place. If they continued digging down from here, they should be able to connect to the entrance to Cao Cao's tomb. This black soil was buried deep underground all year round, and the interior was hollow.”
"However, judging from the water stains in the soil, it should be very humid down here. If I'm not wrong, there should be a naturally formed tunnel after entering the catacomb. Only by continuing forward can we connect to the man-made underground palace. Moreover, there should be an underground river flowing through the natural tunnel.”
Hiss!
Hearing Shen Fei's words, the staff present, including Peach Yang, could not help but gasp.
First, it was Shen Fei's analysis.
He was able to analyze the layout of the entire underground palace just from the soil. He even guessed that there was a natural underground river.
Secondly, the scale of Cao Cao's tomb was simply shocking.
Not only were there man-made underground palaces and tomb passages, but they could also choose a natural underground tunnel to connect to the entire underground palace.
Not only did it save a lot of manpower, but it also expanded the size of the underground palace.
The ancient people did not have geological measuring devices. How did they manage to do this under such difficult conditions?
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and continue digging according to Mr. Shen's instructions.”Thinking of the key point, the star fruit hurriedly urged the staff to continue digging the tomb.
At the same time, the audience in front of the television was also amazed.
"As expected of someone who could find Cao Cao's tomb. This method of tasting the soil to identify the tomb is really beautiful!”
"Why do I feel more and more that Shen Fei is a grave robber? I've heard from the old people here that it seems that the tomb robbers in the past didn't need any equipment. They only needed to bring an iron spike and look at the quality of the soil under their feet to identify the specific location and specifications of the tomb.”
"Fortunately, my husband, Shen Fei, is not a grave robber. If he was a grave robber, those experts would really have no food to eat.”
"Wait a minute…What are those?"
At this moment, the audience in front of the television suddenly realized that the staff seemed to have discovered something. In the next second, the employee who was digging immediately exclaimed.
" What is this thing?!"
"Potato? No, wait…It's a human head!"
"Several heads!"
Immediately, after the dozen or so staff members saw what it was, they quickly dispersed. When Shen Fei and Peach Yang heard the voice, they were stunned and quickly looked over.
In the hole that had been dug out, there were a few thorn-like vines, and on those vines, there were more than ten human-head-sized lumps of soil that looked like fruits.
It looked like a potato, but it didn't look like one.
Sensing the abnormality, Shen Fei carefully moved to the front, and the star fruit quickly stopped him.
"Shen Fei…"
Shen Fei waved his hand, signaling her to let go. He squatted down in front of the cave entrance and used a shovel to flip the dirt over.
Instantly, the dirt lump showed its true colors.
It was carved with human facial features. It looked like a human face was drawn on a potato.
" What is this thing?!"
"It does look like a human head, but it's not.”
"Why do I feel like these lumps of soil are the roots of some kind of crop, but why do they have a human face?”
"This is a little strange…I'm so cold!"
The audience in front of the live broadcast could clearly see what was on the ground with the camera. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Especially Peach Yang, who was observing this scene up close, she was even more afraid.
It was the afternoon sun, but she felt cold all over.
"What is this?" Swallowing her saliva, she couldn't help but ask.
Hearing the question, Shen Fei was not in a hurry to answer. He searched carefully in his mind. When he remembered what it was, he said with a serious expression,"This isn't a human head, it's called a northern melon.”
"Northern melon?" The star fruit was puzzled." Aren't there only winter melons, watermelons, and pumpkins? Why are there also northern melons?"”
Just like her, the other staff members and the audience in front of the television were also very puzzled.
Not only that, they also noticed that Shen Fei's expression was very grave.
From the looks of it, this was not an auspicious sign.
That's right!
Shen Fei nodded and then let out a long sigh,"I know everyone is wondering why there are only Eastern Pumpkins in our description, but there are actually Northern Pumpkins as well. However, I've only seen this kind of thing in historical documents. It's said that this northern melon can only grow in some ancient tombs with a long history. It only grows because it absorbs the resentment of those who died unjustly.”
"That's why these things are called Corpse Barbarians. Moreover, due to its extremely harsh growth conditions, no one had ever seen it before. There were only a few records in historical documents.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded solemnly.
At the same time, the audience watching the live broadcast also felt a sense of incredulity. Was there really such a thing in this world?
"No way, there's really such a thing as a northern melon?”
"To be honest, I've never even heard of such a thing. When he was young, he had only wondered why there were no northern melons. He had not expected them to be such an evil thing.”
"No way! Why do I feel like this is a script?”
"You're right! How could there be such a thing in this world? This had already exceeded the scope of scientific explanation, right?”
"Previous poster, shut up. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The 20,000-meter seabed had yet to be thoroughly studied. They should not use science to explain things that they had not seen before.”
The current situation gave this episode a mysterious color. Originally, everyone thought that this episode was just a trip to the underground palace, but now it seemed that that was not the case at all.
It seemed that there would be many terrifying scenes that they had never seen before in Cao Cao's tomb.
