Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

"This material is very good. A thin piece can actually withstand the intensive impact of stones. If it can be thoroughly studied, it may be a brand new business miracle."

Jiang Yingxue sighed sincerely, thinking more about the commercial value of this material.

“The stones that make up the pyramid are excellent nanostructures, but humans with modern technology cannot replicate them.

Not everything can be reverse-copied successfully. The things in this ancient ruins are all the technological crystallization of the fourth civilization. We can only sigh and speculate about this. "

Bai Ning responded dully, like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, but it was not unreasonable.

Aren't they just making groundless conjectures and sighs as they go around here?

If they could understand everything just by looking at it, it would be impossible for them to turn this place into a place of death, leaving them just spinning around in circles.

The technological development direction of the fourth civilization may be fundamentally different from the current earth's technology. With different logical structures, reverse replication is out of the question.

Seeing Bai Ning struggling to clean up the gravel on the ground, Jiang Yingxue also rushed to help. In a short while, a large blank area was cleared.

A large grid of unknown materials was exposed, and the area below was dark, a deep tunnel leading to nowhere.

Bai Ning tried to tilt the grid up, but this small grid seemed to be welded to the ground. It remained motionless, making people suspect that it was integrated with the ground.

"If it could be easily opened, it would have been smashed open by the gravel in the previous turbulence.

This area is obviously designed to be waterproof. We may really be at the bottom of the ancient ruins. "

Jiang Yingxue made a brief comment, feeling a little helpless about this thin barrier.

There are no bolted connections or welding points, as if this thin mesh is integrated with the ground.

Unwilling to give up, Bai Ning hit the knife a few more times, but it still remained motionless, not even leaving a scratch.

With such a hard material, I don’t know if explosives can be used to open it.

All possible places have been searched, and it seems that this underground chamber has really turned into a desperate place, imprisoning Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue here.

Doors cannot appear out of thin air, and people cannot disappear out of thin air. What is the problem?

Bai Ning thought hard about this weird space, but still made no progress at all.

It's like a puzzle without any hints, making it impossible to move forward.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Ning's eyes suddenly focused on the ceiling above his head, and he had doubts about this area that had not been explored in the end.

When they first arrived, there seemed to be nothing on the ceiling, but that didn't mean there wouldn't ever be anything else on the ceiling.

The entire underground ruins are a whole, and there may be some mechanisms hidden on the ceiling. What's more, they only detected some areas at the beginning, and other areas are still completely unknown.

People will make assumptions and assimilate other areas due to habitual thinking. After being forced into a desperate situation, Bai Ning could only focus on the dozens of meters high ceiling.

Perhaps Aaron was really abducted by something on the ceiling, and the previously discovered doorway was also covered by stone slabs falling from the ceiling.

To speculate on this possibility, the arrival of Bai Ning and others activated certain mechanisms in the ancient ruins, perhaps a response mechanism or a defense mechanism.

Without further in-depth reasoning, Bai Ning picked up the flare gun and projected a flare in the direction of the ceiling. The strong white light lit up the entire space, and part of the true appearance of the ceiling was also revealed.

What was determined by the white light circle was as Bai Ning expected. Aaron was now tied to the ceiling, looking like he was tied up by something tentacle-like.

As the parabola where the flare was located gradually moved away, a door appeared on the ceiling, as if the underground chamber had undergone earth-shaking rotation.

Bai Ning felt that the reason why he and Jiang Yingxue were spared might be because the other defense mechanisms on the ceiling were incomplete, and the remaining tentacles were only enough to capture Aaron alone.

At this time, Aaron's life and death were unknown, and they could not climb dozens of meters high. A sense of powerlessness once again filled their team.

The equipment they carry is indeed too pale here. The walls of such a huge space move whenever they want, and they can't even make a sound. This is a complete comparison at the crushing level.

What's more, the defense mechanism here has been activated. Even if the tentacle only caught Aaron, it was not something Bai Ning could compete with if he could deal with Aaron silently.

In addition to the tentacles on the ceiling, Aaron's bright flashlight had also floated in mid-air before, which shows that there may be other mechanisms here.

Although it is possible that when Aaron was kidnapped, Bai Ning had just woken up and his tentacles retracted back to the ceiling in a hurry, causing the flashlight to fall to the ground.

"What should we do? At present, we can only wait for the support of Ivan and others to arrive, so that we can touch the defense mechanism on the ceiling."

The threat above her head made Jiang Yingxue helpless. Let alone whether he could save Aaron, now he couldn't even decide whether he could leave here safely.

If the tentacles break the rope while Ivan and others are coming down, they will be trapped here forever.

"It's not a big problem. Ivan will probably bring down part of the RPG and other heavy weapons. Since the tentacles can be damaged, it means that the material itself is not very tough and there is a possibility of being destroyed.

Furthermore, the tentacle is a fixed target and poses less of a threat to us. "

Regarding this only surviving tentacle, Bai Ning is currently more concerned about the significance of its original existence here.

According to previous inferences, the big explosion in Tunguska was the big explosion of the spiritual body aggregation device, so this huge space is a device for secretly storing spiritual body energy.

In this way, the tentacles on the ceiling are most likely equipment used to capture and immobilize victims.

It may have a certain degree of aggression, but its most important role is functionality.

"Two or three thousand meters is not a small distance. If Ivan wants to transport people and materials down, it will inevitably take a long time."

The meaning of Jiang Yingxue's words is very clear. Ivan's role is always the icing on the cake. If they want to successfully solve the crisis here, they must rely on the current equipment in their hands.

To this, Bai Ning did not respond at all. In his mind, he was thinking about the ghost incident of the previous bright flashlight.

If the energy here is a spirit body, could it be due to some of Aaron's previous actions, such as the exploration of the door that activated some of the remaining spirit bodies here, which would lead to a comprehensive change in the pattern here?

Thinking of this, Bai Ning took out the crystal core and took a look. The red crystal core seemed to be emitting some unknown fluorescence, giving it a strange beauty here.

The abnormality of the crystal core obviously echoes some of the mechanisms here, but no one can understand it.

"You said it was a key. Now judging by its appearance alone, it does have some potential."

Jiang Yingxue was also very curious about the changes in the crystal nucleus. Since she was also unable to discern the secrets, she could only marvel at it as a bystander.

“The phenomenon of animal spontaneous combustion is indeed the key to opening up certain mechanisms of ancient ruins.

It's a pity that we were not lucky enough and did not encounter the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of animals. Perhaps, the remnant soul in my hand will not have much effect at all. "

The abnormality of the crystal core did not even disturb the tentacles on the ceiling, which showed that the quality of the crystal core was still very insignificant here.

If possible, Bai Ning really wants to achieve spontaneous animal combustion here. Only in this way can it be possible to completely open up the situation here.

"The crystal core in your hand has no attraction to the tentacles, so why was Aaron silently kidnapped by the tentacles?

Could it be that Aaron was already on the verge of spontaneous combustion, which led to the tentacles kidnapping him? "

Based on Jiang Yingxue's existing knowledge, she believed that Aaron would never rashly try dangerous actions under unknown circumstances, let alone touch unknown switches of unknown items.

Regarding Jiang Yingxue's emphasis on this point, Bai Ning also thought that Aaron might be on the verge of spontaneous combustion. He then took out the compass from his backpack and looked at it, but found no magnetic field disorder.

“Judging from the current external manifestations, the possibility is not very high.

Since the entire ancient ruins can still operate normally, it shows that this is not the only source of energy. The spiritual energy spilled from the spontaneous combustion of animals may be able to force some parts of the ancient ruins to re-operate, but it may not have any effect on those parts that are still functioning normally.

The things here are seriously damaged, and the overall operating mechanism may have been in chaos. The fact that the crystal core in my hand cannot cause the tentacles to move does not mean that the crystal core is meaningless here. "

Bai Ning's discussion at this time was more of just a guess. Even if Jiang Yingxue wanted to refute it, it would be meaningless, not to mention that she had no capital to refute it.

This underground cavity is full of mist, and dangers are hidden in high places. They don't have a comprehensive understanding of this place. Everything is based on guesswork. Randomly identifying and denying a possibility is an external manifestation of falsehood.

Bai Ning still explored this place at his own pace. The stone door moved silently from the side to the ceiling, which was more like an overall defense mechanism.

The surrounding stone walls seemed to have perfect joints, and there should be some special mechanism operating behind them.

Under the ground is a cavity that connects to an unknown area. How can a silent operation mode be formed with just the combination of the other five surfaces?

Could it be that the stone wall is like a huge finely crafted product, but is it just that the errors between the connecting parts are so small that traces of changes cannot be detected with the naked eye?

As for the door hole that suddenly appeared on the ceiling, it is most likely just an image deception.

In this way, the displacement caused by this kind of imperceptible change of beams and columns is the smallest, and the movement caused can be made silent.

Thinking of this, Bai Ning fired another flare in the direction of the door hole on the ceiling, then picked up the firearm in his equipment and fired a shot towards the ceiling.
