Chapter 1984 Soul-Suppressing Stone

Gansu Province.

In a dense mountain.

A group of people led by Qiao Na and Ye Yuan.

After a day, we finally arrived at the valley under the rock wall.

But when we got here, it was already getting dark.

In order to take into account the danger of transport aircraft operating in the dark.

We chose to camp in the canyon.

We will wait until tomorrow morning to start the transportation operation in this cave.

It is easier to work when there are more people.

Soon, several tents were set up in the valley.

Ye Yuan originally thought that he could not enter the cave again until tomorrow morning.

I also chose a small tent as my temporary residence.

Originally, Ye Yuan was alone.

There is no need to be so troublesome.

Just find a quiet place.

Then just hide in space and that's it.

This is also the simplest way for him to spend the night in the mountains.

It was a pity that with so many people around, he was destined not to have a comfortable night.

Just when Ye Yuan was about to take a break.

Then I heard footsteps outside the tent.

In such a desolate place, the footsteps are still very clear.

So Ye Yuan opened the tent.

I saw Jonah appearing outside my tent with Dr. Tao and his assistant.

"Is something wrong?"

Ye Yuan looked at Qiao Na and asked.

"Dr. Tao means that we should go in and take a look today."

Joanna was also a little helpless.

He didn't expect it either.

This pottery expert is surprisingly so positive.

"Haha, I have no problem!"

Of course Ye Yuan was happy.

Anyway, he couldn't rest well in this environment.

It would be better to open the stone door overnight.

Let him know the so-called big secret behind the stone gate.

"Then let's set off!"

Ye Yuan's words had just fallen.

Dr. Tao spoke up.

Even his assistant had a wry smile on his face.

He still insisted on going to see the stone gate that interested him overnight.

What Ye Yuan didn't expect was...

Dr. Tao’s rock climbing skills are no worse than others.

I originally thought that I needed his help to reach Dr. Tao in the cave.

But it's easier than that of his assistant.

“What? Didn’t think I could rock climb?
After all, most of our archaeological work is done in the field.

A lot of the terrain is not decided by us at all.

Not to mention rock climbing, even diving needs to be learned.”

Ye Yuan shrugged.

Didn't say anything.

After all, in this regard.

They are the experts, aren't they?
Several people entered the cave.

Dr. Tao was also attracted by the stone pillars on both sides.

"Good stuff! Soul-calming stones. This is the first time I've seen such a large pile of soul-calming stone pillars.

It seems there really is a big secret here."

When I saw two stone pillars.

Dr. Tao recognized their origins immediately.

After Ye Yuan heard Dr. Tao talk about the origin of the stone pillar.

Immediately I became interested.

"Dr. Tao, what do you mean by the soul-calming stone?"

"Soul-calming stone, this is a name used in ancient China.

The main feature of this stone is that it can absorb the brain waves of some creatures.

Living in an environment with a soul-calming stone for a long time often makes people feel manager fatigue.

Over time, it will cause people to feel very uncomfortable.

For some people who are full of energy or have strong mental strength, this soul-calming stone is a natural nemesis.

There is also a saying that the Soul-Soothing Stone is a weapon used against those who have powerful mental control.

But these are too mysterious, I don’t believe them.

However, this kind of stone is indeed very rare.

The soul-calming stones we have discovered so far are extremely rare.

This is the first time I have found a soul-calming stone made into a stone pillar like this."

Dr. Tao is indeed an archaeology expert.

The characteristics of the stone in this sentence are immediately revealed.

Qiao Na and Ye Yuan looked at each other.

They both saw a hint of bitterness in each other's eyes.

“Wow! So many bird-eating spider eggs.

It looks like this place has been used as a nest by a bird-eating spider!"

When Dr. Tao saw the situation above his head.

I was also shocked by the huge number of bird-eating spider eggs.

“We have to be careful.

In my experience, if there are so many bird-eating spider eggs here, it means that this place has become the nest of a group of bird-eating spiders.

And able to survive in the environment of the Soul-Calming Stone.

There must be some mutations in the bodies of this group of bird-eating spiders.

Xiao Chu, don't get scared by those bird-eating spiders later."

After Ye Yuan listened to what Dr. Tao said.

I couldn't help but admire this expert.

Just pass some spider eggs and two stone pillars.

It can be determined that these bird-eating spiders are likely to be a mutant group.

This ability is really not something that ordinary people can have.

Several people walked along the narrow stone cave.

“This is such a waste!”

Looking at the soul-calming stones of various sizes along the way.

Dr. Tao muttered to himself.

Ye Yuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

I just recognized the professionalism of this expert.

But what happened? He suddenly became a chatterbox.

Ye Yuan really couldn't accept this damn contrast.

"Oh my god, who did this, throwing so many soul-calming stones here?"

Several people have arrived at the place where Ye Yuan had piled up the soul-calming stones before.

When Dr. Tao saw so many precious soul-calming stones being piled up like garbage.

I can no longer control my emotions.

As the instigator, what else can Ye Yuan say?
I could only touch my nose to ease my embarrassment.

Joanna stood aside and watched the whole thing.

However, she did not point it out clearly, but just looked at Ye Yuan who was touching his nose with a smile in her eyes.

Dr. Tao just complained a few words.

He had no idea that these things were done by the young man standing behind him.

When several people arrived in front of the stone gate.

After seeing the stone gate made of a whole piece of soul-calming stone.

Everything that came before.

All of these were forgotten by Dr. Tao.

"Oh my god! This is such a genius design!

This. . .

This is simply the most perfect trap door!"

Dr. Tao excitedly stroked the stone door covered with moss.

His face was filled with excitement and excitement.

This scene was seen by Qiao Na and Ye Yuan.

It turned out to be a chill.

I have to say, this soul-calming stone is really special.

They can absorb Ye Yuan's mental power in an instant.

But this only applies to people like Ye Yuan who have activated their mental abilities.

On the contrary, it will not have much impact on ordinary people like Dr. Tao.

Unless Dr. Tao lives in an environment with a soul-calming stone for a long time.

This will have an impact on his mental state.

But just a simple touch like this.

That's totally fine.

"Is there any way to open it?"

Qiao Na couldn't bear to see Dr. Tao's intoxicated expression.

So he asked.

"Uh... yes!"

Dr. Tao gave an accurate answer.

Qiao Na and Ye Yuan were both delighted when they heard the answer.

But they didn't have long to be happy.

I heard Dr. Tao's words again:
“But it takes time.

This is a typical seven-hole mechanism door from the Warring States Period.

At that time, there were very few people who could set up such a mechanism.

And this is not the most troublesome thing.

Usually, behind this kind of mechanism door, there is an extremely terrifying mechanism.

If it is not opened through normal channels.

Then it is very likely to trigger the mechanism behind the stone door."

Dr. Tao stroked the stone door and patiently explained to the two of them.

"But I searched for a long time and found no trace of any mechanism around here."

Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

"The mechanism doesn't necessarily have to target the person who opens it."

Dr. Tao looked at Ye Yuan with disdain.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the little guy's ignorance.

“If not targeting the opener, then who else can we target?

He can’t always...”

Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something.

So I couldn't say anything further.

"Yes, you thought of it, didn't you?
Many people who set up such complex mechanisms often target internal spaces.

Some people designed this so that they could destroy everything inside before the thief could force his way in.

Therefore, if we open this place rashly, it is very likely to trigger the mechanism reserved by our predecessors.

Once the mechanism is triggered, everything behind the stone door will become worthless."

Dr. Tao said with a sigh.

"I'm..."

Ye Yuan listened to Dr. Tao's story.

The whole person burst out of the exit.

There's no way, I've wasted several days here.

Finally got this answer.

No matter who you are, you won’t be in a good mood.

"Haha! But you don't have to be so pessimistic. What I said are the technologies people had at that time.

As time goes by, especially with the emergence of modern technology.

We still have a way to open this invention that was invented thousands of years ago without triggering the mechanism.

I just need time.”

Dr. Tao is still very confident about his profession.

But when he said such a long speech, his purpose was to show off his professionalism.

Ye Yuan really didn't know what to complain about this person.

This guy looks very scholarly and behaves like a researcher.

This mouth is exactly the same as Ma Hua on his fishing boat.

He doesn't look like a highly educated person at all.

"how long it takes?"

Jonah asked the most crucial question.

"It will take at least a whole day at the fastest. If it's slow, three to five days is not impossible."

Dr. Tao is still very confident in his profession.

Directly give the time to come out.

It only takes a few days at most to hear it.

Ye Yuan simply gave the other party a big eye roll as a gift.

How long did he think it would take?

A few days, what is that?
Having seen the stone gate, Dr. Tao also had a plan in mind, so the four of them returned along the original route.

That was originally Dr. Tao’s plan.

Preparations for opening the stone gate will begin tonight.

But it was already very late at night.

Jonah is worried about unknown dangers.

So it was decided that whether it was moving those soul-calming stones or opening the stone door, they would do the work.

We will have to do it tomorrow.

Ye Yuan had no objection to this.

After all, I am in the middle of this matter now.

Already considered an outsider.

Joanna could stay and witness the process of opening the stone door.

It is already a special reward for Ye Yuan.

Not to mention, he also agreed to give Ye Yuan the opportunity to witness the opening of the stone door and view the treasure inside.

This is already very rare.

What else does Ye Yuan have to say?

Silent all night.

In the blink of an eye, it was early morning of the next day.

Although it was not very comfortable to sleep in a tent for a night in such a remote place.

But when Ye Yuan got up, he saw that everyone was normal.

Ye Yuan then discovered.

It turns out that I am the only one who is not used to this kind of life here.

Not to mention the expedition members brought by Joanna.

It's Dr. Tao and his assistant.

None of them seemed to be feeling unwell.

This shows that these people have become accustomed to surviving at night like this.

I got up and simply washed myself with mountain spring water.

When Ye Yuan returned to the camp again.

I saw some people already setting up climbing ropes.

Although there was a simple climbing rope left by Ye Yuan.

But this is obviously not enough for the work in the next few days, or possibly longer.

So several stronger climbing ropes were fixed around the cave.

Some people have even begun planning and carving out simple rock climbing routes.

All the work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The equipment required by Dr. Tao was also delivered by transport plane earlier.

The equipment was lowered directly and precisely onto the protruding rock in the cave.

Then with the help of several team members, it was transported to the stone gate.

After doing all this, the transport plane did not leave immediately.

They are being helped by people on the ground.

A stone pillar that even Ye Yuan couldn't move was slowly moved out of the cave using various tools.

The weight of this stone pillar.

Clearly exceeded previous expectations.

Even transport planes have a huge transport capacity.

But faced with this unconventional stone.

All the traction ropes were also used.

Only then did they successfully lift up a stone pillar.

When a stone pillar was successfully transported to the transport plane.

Whether it is the team members in the cave.

Or the staff standing on the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the process is difficult.

But the result is good after all.

Just prove the feasibility of this approach.

Then, there is hope if we clear out the soul-calming stones here.

Although the team members were not clear about the value of this stone.

But you can tell by looking at Jonah's extremely nervous expression.

The value of this thing cannot be low.

I saw this scene as well.

Ye Yuan then walked up to Qiao Na and asked curiously.

"Are you planning to use these stones to deal with the spiritual fog that suddenly appeared in Yaogu Cave?"

"Yeah, do you think this is God's will?

That kind of problem just happened over there.

You can find so many soul-calming stones here.

If I didn't know that you were just doing it by accident.

I thought you planned all this!"

Qiao Na was in a particularly good mood at the moment.

So he started joking with Ye Yuan.

“Why did I design this?
What good can you do for me?"

Ye Yuan retorted unhappily.

"You are not that old, and your income is enough for your family to live a carefree life.

How come opening and closing your mouth is a benefit?

Can't you be a little more broad-minded?"

Qiao Na really couldn't do anything to Ye Yuan.

All day is good.

"What do I want if not benefits? I am just a commoner."

Ye Yuan said with a curled lip.

The two people still have some differences on these issues.

But Ye Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

After all, everything I have now is obtained through my own efforts.

Rather than a gift from someone for no reason.

Why can the second generation act so recklessly...

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan forced himself not to think further.

After all, God 404 is watching you every day, right?

It was obvious that the transport plane's fuselage sank a little after carrying a stone pillar.

So after communicating with Jonah, the plane chose to return directly.

This is also for safety reasons.

As long as it can be proved that the transport plane can fully play the role of transportation.

As for how many times it will take to clear out all the soul-calming stones here?

This is no longer something Jonah needs to consider.
