Chapter 221 Dan Furnace

Boss Wu smiled helplessly, took out the cigarette box in his pocket, looked at it, and said, "This is the last one. Here you are." After saying that, he threw the box over to me.

I looked at the cigarette brand, which is a pack of Zhongnanhai, which is strong enough.

When I lit this cigarette, Boss Wu and I walked into the cave one after another.

Boss Wu's equipment is good, and he has a high-brightness wolf cigarette flashlight that has always been imported from Germany.

He adjusts the aperture to the maximum and can shine to the maximum range possible.

We both held a cigarette in ours, and our feet were so light that even the cat was so embarrassing.

Boss Wu walked ahead and looked around with a flashlight.

Soon, we found that this cave was a natural grotto that had not been manually excavated. The ground was covered with uneven rocks, and there were inverted stalactite pillars overhead, like wolves, hanging five or six meters above our heads.

The potholes on the stone wall are eroded by water droplets dripping from the top of the cave.

Although the light of the wolf-eye flashlight is very bright, the top of the cave is several meters away from us after all. A little farther away is covered by shadowy shadows. We can only see some bright and dark light spots flashing, which may be the light emitted by the faint fire hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

It seems that they don't always burn flames and flash like fireflies when they rest.

When Boss Wu saw dozens of light balls on the top of the cave, he made a silent gesture and whispered, "Don't talk, there are still some resting."

I nodded, and I don't know whether it was sultry in the hole or my inner fear of these things, and sweat oozed from my forehead.

After Boss Wu said this, he stopped looking at the top of the cave, but illuminated the rocks under our feet to prevent us from falling down.

We moved forward carefully while looking at the rocks under our feet and the dead bodies in the cracks in the rocks.

These were burned alive. It seems that Boss Wu and his people have come in just now. Maybe they didn't know that there was a fire in the hole at that time, so the casualties were so heavy.

Except Boss Wu, everyone else died when they fled in a hurry.

Those dead bodies with teeth and claws make me feel a little furry. Although I have seen many dead people, I have never seen such a tragic scene several times in total, and it is inevitable that it is difficult to calm down.

Boss Wu seemed to be more calm than me, walking gently in front of me and leading me forward.

After walking for a while, Boss Wu stopped and whispered to me, "Wait, look here."

I followed the flashlight in his hand and saw that the place Boss Wu pointed to was a relatively sparse area of stalactites at the top of the cave.

At first glance, I only saw a lot of milky dots squirming, but when I took a closer look, my scalp seemed to be hit by static electricity again, which was very numb.

Because I saw clearly that there were countless young underworld fire cubs crawling on a human corpse hanging upside down on the top of the cave and nibbling on food.

I don't know how the human body was hung on the top of the hole, but these scenes are really disgusting.

Boss Wu looked at it, swallowed his saliva and said, "Don't disturb them. Although these small things are not dangerous, the big ones should be around."

I nodded and looked up at those milky white things. I felt that they were similar to newborn rats, but winged rats were obviously more disgusting than ordinary mice.

At this time, Boss Wu waved to me and said, "We are about to get to the place. Just now we were here to disturb these bats and make them so miserable."

I listened to what he said, just nodded, but didn't pay much attention. The more we went in, the more corpses there hung upside down on the top of the cave. I saw that some of those little bats couldn't hook the wall. I was really afraid that one or two would fall into my collar.

After walking forward with fear for a total of five minutes, I saw a dark cylinder in front of me.

I thought it was some kind of gold product, but when I got closer, it turned out to be bronze.

The thing in front of me is somewhat similar to the elixir furnace used to refine elixir in ancient China. It is three meters high and two meters wide, occupying almost half of the space of the whole cave.

However, this thing is not standing upright in the middle of the cave, but broke one leg and stuck in the stone on its back.

I saw that this bronze elixir stove was covered with scratches and dents, and an ear was broken. Obviously, it was not originally placed here, but probably fell from somewhere.

Boss Wu's flashlight swept around, but we didn't see any stone doors or fork roads next to it.

And the terrain of the cave tends to be flat, and there is no slope to make the elixir roll down from above.

If such a thick and huge elixir furnace is all made of bronze, there are at least a few thousand catties. I really don't know how it was got here at the beginning.

Boss Wu just threw stones into the cave and hit the bronze elixir furnace. He recalled with a bang. Obviously, he had known that there was a elixir stove here before, indicating that they were likely to have come here just now.

So I asked Boss Wu, "Have you been here just now?"

Boss Wu nodded without looking at me. He stared at the elixir furnace in front of him and said, "Yes, we came here before, and then those Singaporean scientists were very excited to see this elixir furnace and came up to check the elixir furnace."

"Did they hit this thing with a hammer? Someone still accidentally fell down and hit this thing, which caused those fires. I continued to ask in a low voice.

Boss Wu shook his head and said, "I don't know. When we came in, we saw those faint fires. I told them that this thing was dangerous and not to make a sound. These people are also professional archaeologists and disciplined. I don't think they will knock on this Dan furnace, but at that time, the Dan furnace did ring. I don't know if someone touched the mechanism above or something. Anyway, let's be careful later.

I nodded and thought that the elixir stove must be strange here. I really don't know if there is anything in it.

After discussing the establishment, we approached the bronze furnace.

Boss Wu's flashlight swept over the Dan stove, and then I saw clearly that it was engraved with dense and exquisite patterns.

These patterns are mostly vines and flowers, including some simplified paintings of birds and beasts, which may express scenes in dense forests.
