Chapter 223 Sequoia Base (23)

"It's so interesting."

So emotional, Ian now has a lot of strength, he can already defeat the powerful enemy that he could not imagine facing, and an ancient, mysterious relic of the pre-epoch is right in front of him.

And this relic was even entrusted by his teacher to explore, to try to stop its mutation.

-Yes.

This is... the life I want.

This is the day I long to experience.

With such a mood in mind, the sound of lonely but not lonely footsteps sounded in the water-plastic cave deep in the ground, and the increasingly shining psychic brilliance in the boy's eyes illuminated the winding and complicated, but smooth and smooth rock cave. wall.

He just strode forward happily, with anticipation, joy and even gratitude.

till the end.

The small cave is about to reach its end.

A light that is far brighter than the inside of the cave appears at the end of the cave entrance, making the exit like a door made of light.

Taking a deep breath, Ian stared at the end of the long corridor in front of him, and he strode forward.

Then step through the door of light.

So, a brand new world appeared before his eyes.

A huge semicircular cave with a height of nearly a thousand meters and an unknown width appeared in this extremely deep underground.

The densely packed karst cave entrances are distributed on the wall of this semicircular giant karst cave, like a waterfall flowing out a steady stream of sea water, making a loud tide sound.

Ian walked out of the cave, the fluorescence in his eyes was not refracted by the reflection on the smooth calcified rock wall, the warm light of psionic energy seemed to break through some shackles, and began to spread in all directions.

Finally, blending with the light in the cave, the boy can clearly see the new world behind the door.

In front of him, there is an extremely wide underground cavity that almost makes him feel as if he has returned to the surface. Rows of rock pillars stand in the deep darkness.

The fluorescence in the boy's eyes can only illuminate a small area around him. What really makes the entire cavity bright is a layer of luminous mist at the top of the cavity dome.

It was a mass of water vapor that was continuously and violently discharged. The seawater flowing out of the cave slapped on the ground, stirring up large swaths of water mist, and these water mist converged upwards, stirring up the psionic field, forming such a continuously created light cloud with small lightning.

The ground of the cavity is very flat, and even the rock pillars seem to be man-made. Their surface is covered with a layer of calcification like stalactites, making them crystal clear and primitive.

But this is just an illusion.

As if aware of something, the boy raised his head.

Then, hold your breath.

Because, he saw, what exactly is this ultrgiant underground cavity structure supported by.

That's metal.

The pitch-black metal grid dome and the towering rock pillars supported this huge underground cavity without collapsing.

This is not a naturally formed underground cavity cave... This is a magnificent man-made dome, a magnificent palace that praises the wonders of civilization!

"My goodness"

Sighing and lowering his eyes, Ian looked towards the center of the cavity along the direction of the rock pillar spreading forward.

There is a square black stone tablet full of cracks and omissions.

The simplified inscription common language is used on it, with several large characters written on it.

Sequoia Base

In the huge underground cavity, stands a tall stone tablet. It presents a standard golden ratio rectangle, dark and full of cracks. Apart from simplicity, it also gives people a sense of solemnity.

I would like to use this monument to commemorate all the watchers in the past 3,400 years.

From today, we will not need to look out

3472.5.27

These are the words on the stele, inscribed in the same lingua franca as today's Terra, anyone who can read and write will surely be able to understand the meaning of the words on the stele, but the luminous clouds and mist lingering around it make this ancient majestic The stele is filled with an illusory and hazy sense of confusion. Looking at it, it is like staring at another era thousands of years ago from an extremely distant distance.

Ian stared at it for a long time before slowly lowering his eyes and looking behind the stele... The gurgling water flowed along the road behind the stele, leading to a huge stone arch bridge. At the other end was a decayed door that had been opened long ago The metal gate, the mottled rust on the gate tells the flow of time.

The years have their marks, but the seasons flow like a stream. Thousands of years of flying light have suddenly passed away.

"Even if it is the creation of the civilization of the pre-epoch, there is no way to keep it intact in the past 1,600 years."

Ian couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: "And, 3,400 years? The history of pre-epoch civilization can be recorded for 3,400 years, which is quite a long time."

He knew that he most likely relied on his psychic instincts, and chose to walk in a cave that happened to lead to the gate of the relics of the pre-era civilizationof course, it could also be the back garden. That cave really looks a bit like a man-made scenic spot in the backyard of.

In short, judging from the complex underground structure of this area, those strange cave passages may lead to every corner of the ruins group.

But that doesn't mean much, it's no time for a prophet to start from anywhere.

On the contrary, Ian felt that only in this way can he better understand the whole picture of the entire underground redwood relics.

Withdrawing his gaze towards the distance, Ian carefully looked under the entire dome.

Let's not say much about the discharge luminous cloud above the head. It looks mysterious, but it is actually just the physical manifestation of natural spiritual energy, which is not surprising.

What's truly amazing is the strange blue river under the arch bridge.

The sea water flows into the river, and wisps of translucent smoke rise up, covering the entire stone bridge, ethereal and mysterious, but with a touch of weirdness.

There are marble guardrails on both sides of the river, and many of these guardrails have collapsed.

Ian can tell that this is probably an ornamental man-made river. This kind of thing will exist on the earth or in any civilization... Intelligent life cannot always remain absolutely rational, and sometimes they will make it for the sake of beauty. This kind of thing comes.

But what is really strange is that there are many traces of fighting around these collapsed guardrails.

Squinting his eyes, the boy approached. He observed the fighting marks on the ground, and found that most of them were scratches and teeth gnawing marks of animal fightssome were very old, some were very new, and even happened recently.

"It's not surprising. After all, this place is almost all sea water. If the moat is filled with fresh water, it's not surprising that there are wild animals fighting for the right to drink safely."

Ian can't be said to be well-informed, but he has at least seen the animal world. The struggle between wild animals for drinking water is just like the struggle for water in modern rural areas. Life-and-death fights may occur at any time and fighting with weapons.

This is not a big deal. Ian was going to move on, but he suddenly heard a sound from the cave behind him.

Ptap-tap-tap...not the sound of human footsteps, but the sound of the steps of some kind of beast.

Ian thought for a while, then disappeared, hid in the shadow of a stone pillar, and waited quietly.

Not long after, several blue-armored lizards walked out of the cave with cautious expressions and very careful walking.
