Chapter 1219 At the End of the Steps, Bones

Could it be a relic under here?

Qin Zhe raised his eyebrows in surprise, and lowered his eyes to look at the stone steps with a sense of age and seriousness.

There is no doubt that this is the trace left by the life of human beings or humanoid creatures.

Not in a hurry to go down, Qin Zhe looked back.

The cave is deeper, and there is a high possibility of a ruin.

But this cave is relatively "fresh".

The relics that exist in the Kunlun forbidden zone have a history of at least a million years.

Although the walls of the cave with nine turns and eighteen turns are very strong, and the entrance of the cave is also covered with lush vegetation, there is no reason why the section from the ground entrance to the lower steps can exist for so long.

After all, there was nothing on his way down.

The cave, which exists simply as a direct passage to the ground, should have been buried by the wind, sand and mud long ago.

The cave passage exists, there are two possibilities.

One, something has gone out.

Two, he was not the first to discover this place.

But if someone really found this place first, and dug it from the ground, it wouldn't be so complicated to dig the passage of the cave.

After deliberation in this way, there is only one possibility left in front of him.

It's been a long time since whatever came out of the ground, but not too long.

It could have been a few years ago, or it could have been less.

What is certain is that the high probability of going out is not a human or a humanoid creature.

If a person or humanoid digs a tunnel, the cave passage must be straight up.

What can be preliminarily determined at present is that some kind of creature was sleeping deeply or was trapped in the cave, and it has now woken up and left.

After a little deliberation, Qin Zhe walked down the steps.

I found such a cave by coincidence, so I must go down and have a look.

The passage behind the steps is very deep.

Qin Zhe went all the way down, and unknowingly walked a longer distance than when he came down from the ground entrance.

At this time, he was almost 500 meters underground, but the steps in front of him still did not see the end.

However, the light green light source became much brighter as he continued to go deeper, and the end of the road should not be far away.

Sure enough, after going down the steps for more than a hundred meters, Qin Zhe's vision suddenly opened up.

An unusually wide underground cave appeared before his eyes.

Looking up, the boundary of the cave is wide and humid, with bright green light like irregular crystals standing all over the cave one after another, illuminating the dark cave that is nearly 600 meters below the ground.

Looking around for a while, Qin Zhe fixed his eyes on the crystal closest to him, stared with the eye of origin, and then showed a dull expression.

Crystals glowing green, nothing special.

Except for the fact that it glows, its essence is just something that seems to be some kind of mineral.

After stopping for a while, Qin Zhe walked into the depths of the cave.

He didn't go far, he frowned and stopped.

Ahead, a stone house made of piled stones appeared.

The style of the house is very simple, with serious traces of elegance.

Its gates are all blocked by square boulders.

From this, it can be preliminarily inferred that it was not human beings who once lived here, but humanoid creatures.

Human beings are, after all, fragile.

The door of the house was blocked with such a big stone, it was very inconvenient to get in and out.

In comparison, it is more reasonable to speculate that it is a humanoid creature with a stronger physical body.

Looking deeper into the cave, you can see a larger number of houses located in the depths.

Instead of rushing into the depths, Qin Zhe picked a nearby room and pushed the stone door open.

It was really heavy to start with.

Judging from the feel, Shimen weighed at least a hundred catties.

But this weight is not a problem for him at all.

"Boom."

With the muffled sound of heavy objects moving, the stone door was pushed open.

Then, the scene inside the house came into Qin Zhe's eyes.

The interior of the stone house is much more complicated than he imagined.

The seemingly small stone house looks like a modern apartment with two bedrooms and one living room.

In addition to the "living room" that enters the door, there are two other compartments, which are blocked by stone doors.

After looking around, Qin Zhe stretched out his hand to push the heavy stone door open in front of a compartment door in the back of the stone house, and then his eyes focused.

This compartment should be the bedroom.

In the inner part of the compartment, there is a bed made of stones.

But that's beside the point.

The point is, there is a bone on the bed.

Frowning and stepping forward, Qin Zhe examined the bones.

The white bones are no different from human beings.

The upper body is not much different from the human bones.

Sternum, ribs, scapula, elbow joint, etc., everything is available.

Unlike humans, Bone has no legs on the lower body.

A similar tailbone spread out from the position of the tail vertebrae, and it was ridiculously long, at least close to two meters by visual inspection.

Qin Zhe was neither an archaeologist nor a biologist.

But according to the appearance of the bone in front of him, it is not difficult for him to speculate that this bone should have the appearance of a human body and a snake tail.

This is a bit strange.

The key point is that the skeleton in front of him has no legs.

Since they have no legs, there is no reason for them to take such a long step on the way down the cave.

Frowning and examining the bones for a moment, Qin Zhe chose to go to another compartment.

In this compartment, there is also a bed made of stones.

However, there were no bones on the bed.

After looking around for a while, Qin Zhe turned and exited the stone house, and went straight to the deeper part of the cave.

There used to be a humanoid civilization here, which has been initially confirmed.

What kind of creatures exist here, he has an idea in his mind, and it doesn't make much sense to do extra inspections.

There are many stone houses in the cave.

But basically, they all look the same.

If you want to gain more, you can only continue to walk in and see if there are any special buildings or things in the deeper depths.

...

In a blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

The open cave seems to have no end.

Qin Zhe walked all the way in, but he didn't see the end of the road.

Although he didn't use shadow walking during the period, but walking with his footsteps for more than an hour is enough to cross half of Haicheng city.

How big is this cave?

Qin Zhe frowned, hesitating whether or not to take the imperial envoy Shadowstep on the road, and go to the depths quickly.

Walking all the way in, the stone houses he saw were at least hundreds of thousands in size.

Obviously, there used to be an extremely large ethnic group living here.

But on the way in, he didn't see anything worth noting.

Every stone house looks similar.

They are distributed irregularly in the cave, and there is not even one that looks larger.

Just as he was hesitating, Qin Zhe was shocked, and his eyes locked on a crystal that emitted green light and had an illuminating effect on the front left.

With his astonishing eyesight and the faint green light, he vaguely caught a pale human face behind the crystal.

At the same time as he focused his eyes, a look of panic appeared on his face.

Live?

Qin Zhe was taken aback for a moment.

Before he could react, the figure behind the crystal he was looking at flashed past and quickly fled to the depths of the cave, leaving behind a figure that seemed human but not human.

Human body, snake tail.

Qin Zhe was stunned for a moment, moved his feet, and resolutely chased after him.
