Chapter 2296 Completed
Koko continued walking forward for two days, and only found the place one day after they entered the desert.
It was not directly in front of them, but was slightly off in direction, but it was still within its scanning range.
Manbao told Baishan quietly.
Bai Shan didn't ask anything. He just pretended to study the blueprint for a while and then the team changed direction.
After walking for half a day, Keke said to Manbao, "If we go any further, we'll enter the radiation zone."
Manbao looked forward and did not see the sinkhole.
This was different from the known pit, so Manbao didn't say anything, but led them forward.
After trotting forward on horseback for half an hour, they saw a pit. It was not very big, but it was different from the pits usually seen in the desert. It was very deep, exposing the sand and gravel underneath.
Everyone stepped forward to take a look. After just one glance, two young men from Danshi Village who had searched for gemstones in the tiankeng exclaimed, "This is the kind of tiankeng!"
Manbao turned around and said to them, "Retreat ten miles and find a place to set up camp."
That way you're not only out of the radiation range, but also out of the sight range.
Everyone retreated in an orderly manner.
This time, Manbao and Baishan still only brought Daji in, but they did not let Daji get close, and just let him watch from a distance.
Although this pit is deep, it is much smaller than other pits. Inside it are some scattered stones. The largest one is only as big as a head and has a thick stone skin. It is because of this layer of stone skin that its radiation is not so strong.
Some scattered small stones revealed beautiful colors inside. If someone passed by here, they would definitely take them away as gems.
Manbao collected all the stones together and sent them to the classroom. Then he and Baishan sat in the pit to rest. Digging was very tiring.
Even if there are two excavation robots to help, they still have to move all the stones and put them together, right?
Bai Shan dug out a very special stone from the sand and gravel, and showed it to Man Bao curiously, "Look at this one."
Without even needing to be identified, she said, "It didn't fall from the sky."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing, "Of course I know it didn't fall from the sky. Look, isn't it very smooth and unique in shape?"
Manbao looked closely. The stone was not very big, but not small either. She estimated that it was one-third of her height, but its width was about the same as her upper body.
Previously, half of it was buried under the sand and gravel. When the excavation robot dug a stone, it dug from the side of it, so half of its body was revealed.
Bai Shan probably thought it looked nice, so he picked up a hoe and continued digging, and then he dug it out.
It was just several layers of stones stacked together, but not very tightly, so it had a sense of mountains, and there were many holes on the stones.
It looks like a cave.
It’s just that the color isn’t very nice, most of it is yellow like sand, and a small part is gray, well, gray-black.
Manbao bent his fingers and tapped them. The sound was crisp and quite pleasant.
Manbao asked Keke, "It has been here for so long, is it poisonous?"
Koko scanned it and said, "No poison."
The poisonous part is the sand and gravel further down.
Manbao felt relieved when he heard this and said with a wave of his hand: "If you like it, take it back."
So Manbao and Baishan took a stone and went back to find Daji.
The two men said to him, "We've dealt with the poisonous stones. This one is non-toxic."
"We think it looks nice and plan to take it back and give it to Mr. Zhuang."
What could Daji do? He could only take it and carry it back to them.
Back at the camp, Bai Shan told them, "Everything has been dealt with. However, some of the soil beneath the sand has been infected. We can only wait for time to slowly consume the toxins."
The guards had this experience once before, so they agreed and started packing up to go back.
If it's poisonous, it's poisonous. They won't come here again anyway.
However, the two young men from Danshi Village felt a little dazed. Was it all over in just one day?
They spent fourteen days searching for this tiankeng, but it only took one day to find it.
"Let's go, let's go back and find them and see if there's any news from that direction."
The other team did not find the sinkhole within the time limit, but they also inquired for a lot of information in the same way as Bai Shan did. They asked for directions from anyone who had seen the unusual phenomenon that night, and then they searched in that direction and got some information.
They changed directions and visited several villages, and handed the corrected route map to Bai Shan, which saved Bai Shan and his team a lot of effort.
Bai Shan thought for a moment and told them to return to Danshi Village first. "We'll go to the next town to get some drinking water. We'll follow your path and it'll take at most a month. You should go back and report your safety first."
Otherwise, it would take too long for them to go back to Danshi Village and then look for another direction.
All in all, they have been out for more than a month.
The people in Danshi Village had no objection. They only left two people from their team to lead Bai Shan and his team, and the rest went back.
Because a group of people had already walked this way, Bai Shan and his companions could save time and effort. The young man leading them pointed to the distance and said, "There is a village if you follow this road from midday to sunset. But they said the fireball fell in that direction. We went there at the time, but we took this road on the way back. It's much faster."
Bai Shan asked, "How fast?"
"If you walk in that direction from that village for a day, you will enter the desert. We kept walking and walking, but we still couldn't find it after four days. Because we returned after half a month."
He said, "On the way back, just look towards the direction of the sunrise. So we left the desert in two days, walked from morning to noon, and arrived here. Look, the sticks we stuck in there are still there."
The journey was indeed much shorter.
Bai Shan said, "Let's take this road."
The young man from Danshi Village had experience in finding tiankeng, and he trusted their judgment of the direction.
So the group did not go to the place where there was a village. They had enough water and did not need to add more, so they walked directly to the edge of the desert and went in.
Less than two days later, they arrived at the place the young men mentioned. They also marked the place with three sticks, which had not yet been blown down by the wind and sand.
At this point, the young man didn't know where to go. He could only gesture and say, "They said they saw it fall in that direction. Aini wanted to take us forward, but the desert is too deep. We're worried about not having enough water, and it's already been half a month..."
Bai Shan said he understood, and after looking at Man Bao, he decided to move on.
After walking for another day and a half, Manbao himself began to doubt whether the young men had really found the right direction, when Koko said, "We've found it."
Manbao cheered up and replaced Bai Shan, pointing the way himself, "Let's go in that direction."
Now even Daji looked over. Every time Miss Man said this, she could always find it.
Sure enough, the young master changed direction without even thinking.
Daji didn't ask, but silently led his men to turn around. Everyone quickened their pace and sure enough, they found the sinkhole at sunset.
Bai Shan looked at the sky, turned around and said, "Let's go. Let's camp farther away and come back tomorrow to deal with it."
See you at 9pm
