Chapter 222 Looking for Jade Mine
In the next few days, everyone salvaged a large number of bones of archaeological team members, equipment and supplies from the bottom of the lake one after another.
Yuncai and Xiaoyu were responsible for cooking and washing clothes for them. Of course, Xiaoyu only washed the clothes of herself and Chen Hao.
They summarized these things and pieced together the corpses, and found that 11 corpses had been salvaged.
After putting together the bodies, everyone found that the corpses salvaged from the bottom of the lake had all been chopped off with their right palms missing.
"Damn, this is too strange, it's impossible. These dozens of archaeological team members are all disabled, right?" the fat man said in wonder.
"No, their hands were cut off!" the young man said coldly.
"Why do you still have to cut their hands? Will there be any key information hidden in their right hand, so it was intentionally destroyed by someone?" Wu Xie said.
"There is also a possibility, let's do it. I'll go to Hudi Ancient Village to search and see if I can find their right hand. You can wait for me on it." Chen Hao said.
He actually didn't have much hope to find those missing right hands. He just wanted to go down to see the jade mine and see if he could harvest some jade.
After all, the ones below are all the best jadeites. If you really want to find a few pieces or even dozens of kilograms for him, you will make a fortune.
Because, he is no longer alone now, and he has to consider himself and Xiaoyu in every way when doing things. Without enough material support, how can he talk about happiness between the two of them in the future?
Moreover, it won’t take long to go to the Crescent Hotel to light the sky lanterns, which will cost a lot of money. If you don’t have the money to do it now, how can you have the money to go to the Crescent Hotel to light the sky lanterns in the future?
When Xiaoyu heard that he was going to go to the lake to salvage again, her pretty face seemed a little worried, but she didn't say much, just gave him a few instructions and told him to be careful.
Chen Hao agreed, then took off only a pair of shorts, jumped into the bottom of the lake with a thump, and swam directly to the ancient village at the bottom of the lake.
At the same time, in the small county of Pingnan, Judekao's team met Wu Erbai's team. Both forces were stationed in the county, making final preparations to go to the deep mountains of Banai.
Jude Kao discussed the cooperation matters with Wu Erbai, but Wu Erbai decisively rejected it. He was not a clever series. He could see through Jude Kao's conspiracy at first sight, so he would naturally not be fooled by him.
This time, Wu Erbai prepared very well. There were many masters in the team, including the masters of their family and the masters invited from the road, all of whom were brought over.
Jude Kao is also well prepared, with advanced instruments, diving equipment, and all kinds of adventure equipment, including many high-end technical talents, but there are no experts who know experience to lead the way.
A few minutes later, Chen Hao sneaked into the ancient village at the bottom of the lake. He took out the seal in advance, perfectly avoiding the influence of the hexagonal bronze bell, and swam straight into the small courtyard of the ancient building.
Bypassing the screen wall in the yard, he swam straight to the backyard, found a stone well in the backyard, and then dived directly into the bottom of the well.
In the original work, Wu Xie followed this route into the jade ore, so he also followed this route to see if he could find the jade ore.
The well was only ten meters deep, and soon swam to the bottom of the well. There was a huge space below, at least as big as a few thousand square meters.
The bottom space is filled with iron racks, with several stone iron figures placed on each iron rack, and the ground is full of railway tracks that look like train tracks.
In addition to these, there are some tools such as trolleys, tripods, eight-pound hammers, axes, furnaces, etc., which are like an underground arsenal.
Looking at the rows of iron man figurines on the iron rack, immersed in a piece of water, giving people a very gloomy feeling, as if it was an underwater morgue.
Chen Hao was very skilled and brave, but he didn't feel anything unusual. He didn't study the things here and looked for the entrance to the underground river around him.
He remembered that in the original work, Wu Xie arrived at the underground river from a pipe that looked like a vent, so he specifically looked for pipes that looked like a vent.
After some inspection, he found that these ventilation ducts seemed to be a drainage and ventilation system. After all, this is an underground fortification and must have ventilation outlets and drainage outlets.
He walked to one of the pipes, which seemed to be a drain pipe leading to the ground, with an iron fence welded on it.
He pulled it hard a few times and found that the iron fence was extremely strong and welded with the opening of the entire pipeline. Without heavy tools, it was impossible for ordinary people to open it with their bare hands.
Chen Hao is not an ordinary person. He grabbed the steel bars of the iron fence with both hands and pulled them hard with brute force. After pulling them repeatedly several times, he broke the iron fence off.
After breaking off the iron fence, he drilled into the pipe without hesitation. It was very narrow inside and could barely accommodate a person to pass through.
The pipe kept winding downwards, and after swimming downwards for more than ten meters, he felt a pulling force of the current, pulling him downwards.
Chen Hao didn't struggle and swam directly along the suction force because he knew that there was a dark river under the pipe.
As expected, as he continued to deepen, the suction force became stronger and stronger. He was in this current of water, and he struggled to stabilize his body and quickly poured into the ground.
The whole process lasted for more than ten seconds, and suddenly, a stronger suction force pulled him down in one go, and he was sucked out of the pipe by the water flow.
After leaving the pipeline, he fell into a turbulent river with rapid water flowing, and the strong current rushed him all the way downstream.
It was washed more than ten meters away by the water flow. Suddenly, a huge iron fence appeared in front of me, each steel bar as thick as an arm.
Chen Hao quickly stretched out his hands, grabbed the steel bars of the iron fence, and supported his body. The water flow quickly rushed down from his body.
The iron fence is very strong, which is exactly where Wu Xie almost died in the original work. He looked down and saw that the water flow below became more and more rapid, as if there was a deep pool of cliffs below.
After stabilizing his body, he looked at the river left and right. The walls on both sides were hard rocks, and they were bare and had no raised parts. There were traces of blunt polishing on it, which should have been manually polished into this.
Chen Hao didn't care about this either. He looked up and down, left and right, trying to see if there were any gaps in the mountains around him, because Wu Xie was here at that time and inexplicably entered the jade mine.
