Not far ahead, a larger tree root appeared, directly passing through the tree hole and blocking the road. We had no choice but to stop. Meihui tried to chop it with a Tibetan knife, but the root was too big.

The diameter is two meters wide. Although the Tibetan knife is sharp, it is only a drop in the bucket. Helpless, I gave her a gesture so that she would not have to work in vain.

I looked around and found that the roots of the old bodhi tree passed directly through the tree hole. They should have grown naturally, and the old tree was not dead. There was a lot of natural water in the stem, and fire would definitely not work. But the ones we brought with us

There is no large-scale equipment that can break this root, so I have to think of other ways. In fact, there is no good way. I made a rough calculation here. If the old Bodhi tree above my head is calculated as the horizontal plane, I won’t say anything about it now.

It's about fifty meters.

Although it is winter now, there is no frozen soil below ten meters underground, and the surrounding soil is not too soft, but it is not a problem for the stainless steel shovel specially used by Jin Xiaowei. I waved the shovel and started digging, hoping to start from here.

Cut a fork in the side of the tree hole and clear away the thick tree roots.

In the past few years, I have been dealing with ancient burials in deep mountains and underground treasures in yin caves, which made me dig very quickly. In addition, the fine steel shovel is a rare tool for breaking earth. Meihui and I dug alternately, and we dug in less than an hour.

They dug a small thief's hole that was about one meter square, and used some animal bones of similar sizes picked up nearby as supports. While digging, they were doing a simple tower-laying project, and they became quite familiar with it. Finally, the three of them finally walked through it.

After passing the two-meter-thick tree root, everyone's face showed a look of indescribable joy.

Meihui pointed her thumb at me, and I nodded to her with a smile. I laughed secretly in my heart, maybe the ancient Captain Touching Gold also used this method to rob tombs! Little did we know, but we had unknowingly robbed the tomb.

I was automatically classified into the ranks of those who want to fight for gold.

However, these years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the caves behind the roots of the big trees have become even more difficult to navigate. There are numerous animal bones everywhere, and among them there are also able-bodied people such as bobcats and foxes. I frowned.

If the blind black man who died in the cave was accidental, what about the lynx? What about the fox? The lynx is strong and has few natural enemies, while the fox is cunning and suspicious. These two beasts are also the most difficult to invade in the mountains.

They died here, and their bodies were scattered in pieces. The dead bodies had been cut into pieces.

I looked at Meihui and wanted to seek her opinion. If it were me, I might choose to quit temporarily and come back to explore again when I have the opportunity in the future. But Meihui’s eyes were very determined and she nodded at me, indicating that I should continue moving forward.

.

There were so many animal bones in the tree hole that it was difficult to stand down. Some of the bones of small animals had bone spurs, which could penetrate the soles of shoes if they were not careful. The three of them had to slow down a lot. It seemed that they were getting faster and faster.

As we walked further and further, I even felt that our current height had reached the foot of Mount Ilehuri, but there was no sound of the Songhua River flowing. I probably guessed that this tree hole was by no means natural. It should be

I think it was dug. Otherwise it wouldn't have been so thorough. There are no strokes or other traces, so it's hard to tell how many years this tree hole has existed.

Gradually, the tree hole became wider and wider, and the terrain slowly began to show an upward trend. Just when we reached the lowest point of the tree hole, I suddenly felt that my clothes were a little damp.
