Chapter 266 Directional Blasting
Just as the soldiers were busy carrying weapons and food, Lin Kunlun and Tie Feng arrived at the stone gate leading to the next city.
"There is actually a next level hidden here! I don't know what is hidden there, but it's a pity that the way is blocked by a huge rock!" Lin Kunlun pointed at the narrow crack with a look of regret on his face.
"A door is actually carved out of such a huge rock? The door opens inward, and is blocked by huge rocks inside. It seems that the owner of this cave really doesn't want people to set foot in easily! However, there is not no way out. We just need to find someone to chisel this stone slab open!" Tie Feng stared at the thick stone slab, but when he thought that he had sufficient manpower and time, he was not too worried.
"There are so many weapons on the upper level, and there may be even rarer things hidden on the lower level. It's worth the trouble." Tie Feng looked happy.
"It seems that I have no choice but to find someone to carefully carve this door!" Lin Kunlun sighed.
"Marshal Lin! There is actually a way! We still have some gunpowder in our hands. That is the spoils we got from the officers and soldiers!" Tie Feng's eyes lit up, thinking that gunpowder might be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"But will it cause the cave to collapse?" Lin Kunlun was a little worried. After all, there were things he needed underneath, and it would be bad if it collapsed.
"Don't worry, Marshal Lin. We have a gunpowder expert among us. Mu Feng used to command the firearms battalion in the Northeast Army. He is a master in the use of gunpowder, and few officers and soldiers can match him. For him, blasting open this stone gate is just a trivial matter." Tie Feng explained confidently.
After hearing this, Lin Kunlun's eyes flashed with hope. He knew that Mu Feng's position in the Northeast Border Army was extraordinary, and he had never expected that he would have such attainments in gunpowder. If even Mu Feng was so confident, then this matter might really be a sure thing.
"Okay, please invite Mu Feng here quickly." Lin Kunlun decided to adopt Tie Feng's suggestion.
Soon, Mu Feng came in with a toolbox. He carefully inspected the stone gate and the rocks around it, and then began to mix the gunpowder. His movements were skillful and quick, revealing his superb skills in this process.
"General Mu, how confident are you?" Lin Kunlun asked with concern.
"Marshal Lin, I'm 90% sure. Although this stone door is thick, our gunpowder is powerful enough to blow it open. Moreover, I will control the power of the explosion and try not to damage the items behind the door." Mu Feng responded confidently.
After the weapons, armor and food had been moved away, Lin Kunlun asked everyone to leave the cave. A long fuse was pulled out from the door. Although Mu Feng vowed that the cave would not be affected, no one was willing to take the risk. Everything was ready, Mu Feng lit the fuse, and with a loud "bang", the mountain trembled slightly, and the stone door slowly cracked a gap. The long-sealed breath came with it, arousing everyone's endless curiosity about the secret behind the door. After confirming that the explosion was correct, everyone rushed in. Lin Kunlun, Tie Feng and others watched nervously and expectantly as the stone door slowly opened. When the door was completely opened, an amazing scene came into view... Behind the stone door was an extremely deep passage, with steps stacked up and leading directly to the bottom. "There is indeed a next level here! This passage is not easy to dig!" Tie Feng looked at the passage and couldn't help but sigh. Each step of the passage was directly dug from the mountain, with the height and width exactly the same, revealing traces of artificial carving. It is conceivable how much manpower and material resources are needed to dig this cave. "Now it seems that the people who dug this cave are either royal relatives or powerful warlords!" Lin Kunlun nodded. In ancient society, without the assistance of advanced machinery, everything had to be dug manually. Even if they are in the upper cave now, if it is entirely done by manpower, even if thousands of people work at the same time, it will take a long time. Those who can mobilize so many manpower in ancient society are very powerful. "Let's go down and find out!" Lin Kunlun couldn't wait to explore those things containing spiritual energy. He lit a torch and wanted to go down first. "Wait a minute, General Lin! You are the commander of an army, how can you take risks rashly? Why not send a few people to explore the way first." Mu Feng hurriedly stopped him. There was no guarantee that there would be no hidden dangers such as poisonous gas in the cave. "Yes, send someone down to explore the situation first!" Tie Feng also agreed deeply. After all, the safety of the commander-in-chief concerns the entire army. How can you take risks easily?
Lin Kunlun smiled slightly when he heard this. He understood everyone's concerns, but he was also full of desire for the unknown world. He thought for a moment and decided to take a compromise: "Okay, but we can't just let the soldiers take risks. Tie Feng, you go down with me, and Mu Feng stays outside to take charge of the situation. If there is anything unusual, notify us immediately."
Tie Feng nodded in agreement. He knew that this was Lin Kunlun's trust in him and his responsibility for the safety of the entire team. Holding torches, the two men walked down the stone steps carefully. The flickering firelight illuminated the road in front of them, but could not illuminate the deep and unknown darkness.
There were four soldiers in front of them, walking about five or six meters away from them. The soldiers used torches to light the road below. Lin Kunlun and Tie Feng just followed behind. Several soldiers had knives and shields in their hands. They kept their shields in front of them at all times to prevent any hidden weapons from appearing suddenly. So they moved very slowly, stopping after taking a step to observe the front. No one wanted to be injured by this laser hidden weapon that was made many years ago!
As they went deeper and deeper, the air became more and more humid, and occasionally they could hear the sound of water dripping onto the ground. It was quiet here, as if the whole world was waiting for their exploration. Suddenly, a slight vibration was heard, and the two immediately became alert, but after the vibration they did not find anything unusual, so they continued to move forward.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the passage. Suddenly, a huge stone chamber appeared in front of them. In the center of the stone chamber, there was an ancient tripod! Strangely, there was a faint fragrance in the cave on the underground floor, which made people feel relaxed and happy. In addition, the walls of the stone chamber were engraved with various mysterious symbols and patterns, as if telling an ancient story.
Lin Kunlun and Tie Feng approached the tripod cautiously, while the soldiers began to search the surrounding area carefully. Under the tripod was a rectangular stone.
"This stone looks like a rectangular coffin! Could this really be a tomb?" Lin Kunlun looked at the rectangular stone. The stone slab on top seemed to be separate from the bottom. Overall, it looked like a sarcophagus.
"Could this be the tomb of an ancient emperor?" Tie Feng also became nervous. He had never seen the scene inside. The surroundings of the stone were full of various auspicious patterns.
At this time, Lin Kunlun asked Xiaolu in his mind what the hell was that had spiritual power!
"It's the tripod of time! I can feel the powerful spiritual power contained in it! Hurry up and get it into the space, the space will definitely expand 10 times!" Xiaolu's excited voice came over.
