If they were bitten to death when they hid in the gap, why did they hide in it? This gap cannot be used for them to avoid flying insects, which can fly in with their body size.
Unless they think hiding in there might give them a chance to survive. Otherwise, they might as well just run away, rather than lying here and waiting to die.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they were surrounded by flying insects at the time and had no choice but to hide in it.
But in this case, what about the other team members? If they didn't find a way out, how did they escape in time? Lin Wu didn't know the situation at the time, but no matter which one it was, he was sure that there was a way out.
After she crawled into the crevice, she turned over and looked at the stone layer.
The stone surface below is different from the outside. It is not steep, uneven, rough and black, but a very smooth, crystal clear light black color like jade. Looking forward, there are other dark green stones mixed in, as if some liquid is flowing in it.
"Lin Wu! Come and take a look!" Ren Ke suddenly shouted.
Lin Wu wrote down what he saw, responded and went out.
At this time, Ren Ke was squatting in front of a stone wall about five or six meters away, with his upper body bent down and looking sideways at the gap inside.
Lin Wu walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"
Others also came over after hearing the sound.
Ren Ke straightened up and looked at Lin Wu, "There seems to be something wrong with the stones here."
"Something's wrong? What's wrong?" Bai Jing Baining went over immediately. Chang Chi and Chang San, who were not far away, also turned around. However, Han Yuesong and his group were the first to rush over. They seemed a little nervous.
Ren Ke glanced at them, without any reason, and tapped the stone wall with his fingers, saying: "The stone underneath is quite beautiful, it looks like jade, but I looked at it for a long time and got a little dizzy. There was also a faint fragrance."
Chang Chi took a step forward, pulled Luan Zhi and Bo Ning out of the way, and asked, "Smell, are you sure?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Ren Ke said.
Chang Chi glanced at his own people who were approaching on the other side of them. The other person immediately leaned over and crawled into the gap, but when he climbed out after a while, he shook his head and said that he didn't smell it, but the stone surface inside was indeed beautiful.
"I think you've been lying down for too long and your brain is congested, so you're having hallucinations," Chang Chi said.
Ren Ke rolled her eyes. "Don't blame me if your people are useless. I have received special training since I was young, and my five senses are sharper than those of ordinary people. Even Lin Wu can't compare to me in this regard."
Bai Jing looked at Lin Wu.
Seeing this, the others also looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu nodded and said, "Yes, Ren Ke is more special and powerful than me." She suddenly thought of something and asked Ren Ke, "You only smell the smell below, not the stone wall above?"
Ren Ke: "Yeah. I was looking for it for quite a while, and suddenly I smelled something wrong here. But the smell was quite faint, and it took me a while to confirm it."
Lin Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Do you still have the stones that you found from those four people?"
"Take it with you." Gao Zhouwen took it out.
Lin Wu stretched out her hand, and Gao Zhouwen hesitated for a moment before decisively handing it to her. Unexpectedly, Lin Wu gave it to Ren Ke instead.
"Smell them, do they have any smell?"
"...Lin Wu, are you fucking treating me like a dog?" Ren Ke was speechless.
Lin Wu said: "You are too modest. Dogs are not as good as you in biting people."
"Lin Wu!"
"Hurry up. It's strange that the four people who died in the crevice below didn't try to avoid the flying insects. It's also strange that there are so many protruding stones without anything else on their bodies. Maybe their death is related to the way out."
Ren Ke's face darkened, and he opened the bag and put it under his nose.
After a moment, she frowned and said, "It really has a smell, the same as what I smelled under the crack, but maybe it has been left for a long time, so the smell has become weaker."
"You mean, these stones were chiseled out from the cracks in the stone surface?" Gao Zhouwen suddenly asked.
Ren Ke: "What else? Could it have been chiseled off your forehead?"
"…" Gao Zhouwen automatically ignored it, "If this is related to the way out, then the place that was chiseled out is the key to the way out. The four people hid under the gap, not being forced into a dead end by the flying insects, but trying to find a way out."
"What's the point of being related or not? We can't go back now." Wang Lin at the back complained in a low voice.
The atmosphere was silent.
"stupid."
Bai Jing said coldly: "There were more than four people who came in, and only four people were there, which means that the others left. But if those four people didn't have time to leave, would the others have had time to leave? But if they did leave, it proves that the others were most likely not there when the flying insects besieged them. In other words--"
"There is more than one road here. The others left by another road, but those four were unlucky. For some reason they couldn't leave together, so they had to take other roads. But they died before they could leave." Bo Ning continued.
Bai Jing hummed lightly.
Wang Lin's face immediately turned red.
"Then keep looking. The stone in the crack below is not right and has a smell. If you stay there for a long time and get dizzy, you may find the way. If you are lucky, you can find it without going back to the other side of the explosion. If you are unlucky," Lin Wu glanced at the archaeological team, "just die here."
Professor Zhang said anxiously: "But how can we find it? We can't smell it."
Lin Wu looked at Ren Ke with a smile.
Ren Ke took a big step back and drew her sword, "Lin Wu! I didn't come in with you to be your dog! If you dare to let me smell it alone, and they follow me, I will never let you go!"
Lin Wu: "Do you want to go out?"
“…You must have another way!”
"I don't."
"you!"
"If you delay any longer, I believe you won't want to see me resort to extraordinary measures."
Lin Wu tapped his watch.
Everyone saw that Ren Ke seemed to have recalled some unpleasant memories, her face turned pale and blue, and finally she cursed softly, then crawled in with a dark face.
Bai Jing then leaned down against the mountain wall, looked at Ren Ke, and reminded him, "Hurry up, we're waiting for you to lead the way."
Ren Ke felt that Bai Jing's perspective was very unfriendly to her, and she must have done it on purpose! "Get lost!"
Ren Ke stretched out his hand and pushed Bai Jing's face away.
Fortunately, Lin Wu did not really point Ren Ke to do so. She pointed a few people to follow in and observe the condition of the stone surface below. They found that the smell would only appear when jade-like stones appeared, but it was very faint and Ren Ke had to smell it for a long time before he could smell it.
When they went further and saw a large area of jade-like stones of other colors, the smell became very strong, and others could also smell it faintly. And those special stones all flowed forward like a fluid, and finally gathered into a ball a few dozen meters away.
Ren Ke had a headache from the smell. She took a look and saw that her name was Lin Wu. "It's here. There are traces of chiseling here. Looking at the changes in the surrounding stones, there will be a similar convergence center ahead. I know. There are many roads here, and here - hey, it's soft in the middle and can be pressed..."
