Chapter 484: Ruins of ancient capital in the desert
Chapter 484 The ruins of the ancient capital under the desert
After about three to five seconds of free fall, Jiang Lingxi was finally able to open her eyes.
Ignoring wiping the fine dust on her eyelashes, the scenes on the ground flashed before her eyes. She moved her hands very quickly to her head and curled up to protect her most important brain and internal organs.
All actions are completed almost instantly.
Although there is sand flowing down from above on the ground, the height determines that the impact force is definitely not low. Even if there is sand as a buffer, it will be difficult to withstand the shock for a moment.
If this area is accidentally injured, you can only simply bandage it, take some anti-inflammatory medicine and wait for it to heal on its own.
After landing, he rolled forward twice to relieve the force, and then he got up.
Looking up, Jiang Lingxi finally saw clearly the environment she was in at the moment.
Fine sand is like rain, still falling from the dome to the ground.
From the dome to the ground where she was standing, it was roughly five or six feet tall, which was almost the height of a modern six-story building.
As for the square circle...it's too dark and I can't see the edges.
But listening to the echo when she landed just now, it can be estimated that the range is definitely not small.
Someone nearby turned on the lights.
“Hiss, is there anyone there? I’m here!”
Someone made a sound, and someone quickly responded, "I'm not far from you, but I sprained my feet when I landed on the ground."
“Then you are not as unlucky as me. Someone fell down behind me again. If I hadn’t dodged quickly, it wouldn’t have been just the backpack that hit my leg!”
Jiang Lingxi took out the lighting stick that Xu Zhao had given him before from his backpack, opened it, and looked around.
The people who spoke before seemed to be quite close, but she didn’t know if they were the last ones to come down, so they were still a little far away.
She was about to walk in the direction where the voice came from, when she heard someone calling her.
“Sister Xi, sister Xi, are you there?”
“Changning, I’m here.”
"I can hear which direction you are in. Sister Xi, don't move. I'll go find you."
Jiang Lingxi stopped and shined the light stick in the direction of Changning. Soon he saw her and Yun Yi walking towards this direction.
“Are you okay?”
“Sister Xi, are you okay?”
The three people looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads in relief.
“It’s okay. Let’s go and find Xu Zhao and the others.”
When looking for someone, you will inevitably meet someone from the Chang Cang Sect, but this time people on both sides have a tacit understanding and ignore each other.
It is important to find a companion first.
When he found Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao had already gathered most of the team members.
We have been busy for almost ten minutes, and everyone is not missing.
Except for one person who twisted his arm because he didn't find the right posture when he landed, the most serious injuries on the others were only scratches, which were much better than Jiang Lingxi had originally expected.
“It seems like there is no more sand!”
Jiang Lingxi took off the hat on her head, "The quicksand above has stopped."
“Then what?” Yun Yi shined his flashlight into the sky, “How should we go up to this height?”
“It’s definitely not realistic to go back the way we came. We need to find other exits.”
Once everyone is here, you can feel free to look at the surrounding environment.
But before Xu Zhao could change to a high-brightness lighting lamp, the light suddenly brightened on the other side.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was like someone suddenly took out a small sun!
More than a dozen pairs of eyes suddenly turned to look over. It was made by Chang Cangmen.
Xu Zhao put back the light he just took out, "Their one is brighter than ours, and it's farther away, so we don't need ours to save energy!"
With the lighting equipment nicknamed "Little Sun", almost everything within a radius of two kilometers can be seen clearly.
One hundred meters ahead is a cliff.
The bottom of the cliff is their destination, the ruins of the ancient capital.
Yunyi: "...This ruins is really buried deep."
Coupled with the height of the cliff, it would take several minutes to go up from the ruins to the ground where they came down, even if they took the elevator.
“If you fall under the cliff, your body will be completely destroyed!”
The two teams arrived in front of the cliff almost at the same time.
Yin Chong retracted his gaze from the ruins below and turned to look at Jiang Lingxi, "This ruins is quite large. Miss Jiang, do you want to take your team with us?"
This idea came to him after watching Jiang Lingxi accurately calculate the time when quicksand appeared.
Although he is very ambitious, he still cherishes his life. Since Jiang Lingxi can calculate the time when he can enter the ruins, with this ability, he may be able to avoid many dangers in the ruins in advance.
As for waiting to find the main thing, it depends on whether Jiang Lingxi knows the current affairs.
"No need. As we said before, bridges will return to bridges and roads will return to roads."
"Okay, then I won't force anyone to make things difficult for you." Yin Chong said with real regret on his face, "I wish Miss Jiang all the best."
Jiang Lingxi gave him a look that said, "You are so hypocritical." It was clear and undisguised.
The cooperation was to prevent each other from stumbling upon each other, but now they have entered the ruins and the cooperation has been shattered. Is it still necessary to say this?
When no one knows who yet!
Yin Chong: “Get off!”
Immediately, several people took out the ropes they had prepared, quickly fixed them, and jumped down by grabbing the ropes.
When there was a sound of a spoon from below, indicating that the person had successfully landed, the remaining people also grabbed the rope and went down.
Soon there was no one on the other side of Changcang Gate, except for a few ropes that were abandoned after they had served their purpose.
“Sister Xi, let’s go down quickly. We can’t let Yin Chong and the others find our husband first.”
Although she is quite convinced of the unconscious ability, the gap in the number of people is a bit big!
Xu Zhao unzipped his backpack and needed to get the rope.
Although there are people from Changcangmen nearby who have used it, who knows if the last person did anything on the rope when he went down.
“Guess, did Yun Qing and the others use a rope when they went down?”
Several people were stunned.
Huzi and Yunyi have already gone their separate ways to look for ropes along the cliff.
Jiang Lingxi ignored the two of them and turned back to the place where she fell from above.
I saw that there was originally a thick layer of sand on the ground, but after a while, only a shallow layer was left.
It is conceivable that after a while, the falling quicksand will be "eaten" by the ground!
But it is impossible to eat, which means there is some mechanism in this place that can transfer the sand out.
She was still studying. Yun Yi and Hu Zi ran back after circling the cliff. Their expressions were shocked but also a little complicated.
“There is no rope.”
“Except for the ones used by the Changcangmen people just now, there are no traces of fixed ropes elsewhere.”
Then the question becomes, how did the people who came in earlier get out?
Xu Zhao came over and squatted beside Jiang Lingxi. He looked at the sand that was disappearing without a trace on the ground, and reached out to grab a handful. "Is there anything weird on the ground?"
“We should be sure once all the sand is drained away.”
