Voyage of the Stars

Wei Shiba once again took out something that looked like a compass. This time, he didn't turn it around in his hand. Instead, he made room for an empty shell and placed it on the ground. Then he took out a dagger from his pocket and made signs with it on the ground.

"Er Fatty, help me get a flashlight!" After drawing a few lines, Wei Shiba shouted to Erpang Gou.

"Here we come." After groping for a while, Gou Erpang took out a copper-cased flashlight from his backpack, quickly put the battery on the flashlight and shut it down, then came to Wei Shiba's side to illuminate it.

Flashlights are an industrial product of kobold society and can be afforded by all social classes.

Under the light of the flashlight, several kobolds saw Wei Shiba pointing at the scale of a compass-like thing again and again, while making gestures with his hands as if he were aiming at the stars in the sky. After a while, they saw Wei Shiba get up and He also moved several large stones that he had prepared and placed them on each point he drew.

At the same time, he was mumbling some words that even the kobolds couldn't understand.

"What are you talking about? Why are you so hard to pronounce?" Naturally, the kobolds were curious if they didn't understand. It was Third Sister who asked.

"An ancient language. According to legend, it is the language used by the people of the Volcano Country to worship the God of Light. However, I don't know much about it. It is said to be the language used by the people of the Volcano Country to worship the God of Light." Wei Shiba explained simply.

The word Wei Shiba just spoke was not the language of the kobolds at all, but a word with some directions in Chinese. Although the pronunciation was not standard, it was probably a problem with the structure of the kobolds' vocalizations.

After making comparisons like this for more than an hour, Wei Shiba finally finished his busy work of stargazing. At the same time, he said to Professor Amir and other kobolds: "Okay, we will be sure when it gets up tomorrow. The specific directions are given. Don’t move these things I drew on site. They will still be useful when I see the mountains tomorrow.”

After leaving such a sentence, Wei Shiba didn't explain too much, just turned around and got into his tent to rest.

Gou Erpang followed closely behind.

Although Professor Amir and the kobolds were very confused, since Wei Shiba was unwilling to say more, they could also imagine that this was a skill that could not be passed on to others.

So the three kobolds didn't say anything and went into their tents to rest.

The night passed quietly. When the three kobolds woke up the next day, they found that Wei Shiba was standing where he had drawn the lines and placed the stones last night, and had also changed his position and squinted his eyes. The mountain peak seems to be observed according to the line drawn last night.

Professor Amir was actually quite curious about what Wei Shiba had done, but he also knew what to ask and what not to ask.

It seemed that he heard the movement behind him. At this moment, Wei Shiba turned around and came to Professor Amir. At the same time, he motioned for him to look towards the distant hills and said, "Professor, I found it. Look there. There, there, if my calculations are correct, the Tianmen mentioned in the ancient books should be within the range formed by these three places."

"But there's nothing there." The third sister on the side also looked over as Wei Shiba pointed, but she saw nothing except rocks and white snow.

"I believe Xiao Wei is not mistaken, and it's not far there. Let's go and have a look." Professor Amir shook his half-bald tail, "The tent will be put there first. We can just bring the detection equipment there." , everyone must pay attention to safety when skiing in the snow mountain.”

After giving an explanation, a group of five kobolds began to slowly move towards the place Wei Shiba mentioned with small hoes, shovels, ore detectors, optical ranging tools, cameras and other things.

The place Wei Shiba knew was not the top of the snow-capped mountains, but a relatively open area on the gentle slopes of the snow-capped mountains. Visually, it covered an area of ​​several hundred acres. It was not far from where the kobolds were at the moment, only seven or eight miles away.

With the kobold's tall body and strong physique, he arrived at his destination in a short time. It's just that the destination looks like it looks like it's covered in white ice and snow except for rocks from a distance.

The five kobolds did not give up. After taking stock, they split up and searched the area to see if there was anything unusual.

This search took half a day, which was half a day on the Kobold planet, equivalent to more than four days of human time. If they were humans, they would have had to eat many times a long time ago, but kobolds were different. Their physiological functions were developed over billions of years of evolution on their planet, and this little time only made them feel a little hungry.

But just when they were about to return to the tent camp to have a meal before continuing, they suddenly heard the third sister of the kobold yelling.

At first, Professor Amir, Wei Shiba and several male kobolds thought that Third Sister was in danger, but they hurriedly followed the sound. When I got closer, I realized that it was not that Third Sister was in danger, but that she had discovered something.

"Look, look, Brother 18, Teacher Amir, look. This stone is so strange. It doesn't seem to be naturally formed." Seeing several kobolds coming to the side, the third sister quickly stretched out her delicate yellow stone. The hairy arms point forward.

The four kobolds followed what the third sister expected, and indeed they saw a large flat rock on the mountain in the distance. No, it was a very flat surface that looked like a stone, but now it was a bit far away and covered with ice. So it's not very clear.

"Let's go and take a look." Professor Amir could no longer hide his excitement and immediately called a few kobolds to come forward.

Based on his many years of archaeological experience, Professor Amir felt that there were very few such stones in nature. There must be such a huge stone, but he had never seen such a flat and vertical stone before.

So he quickly realized that there was something wrong with the big stone embedded in the mountain in the distance.

The height of the five kobolds was basically between 2.2 and 2.5 meters. Their tall bodies took three steps and two steps, and soon arrived in front of the stone pointed by the third sister.

Only then did they realize that this big stone was really flat and huge. Looking at it, it looked like a flat stone wall frozen by ice.

"No, this thing is not a stone, definitely not a stone."

Professor Amir looked up and looked around. Just now, under the reflection of the scorching sun in the sky, he saw a silver reflected light. He swore that the stone would never have such a color.

Muttering, Amir took out the flashlight from his trouser pocket and stepped towards the 'stone wall'. When he took a closer look, he discovered something unusual about this 'stone wall'.

Although the surface of the 'stone wall' is covered with a thick layer of ice, through the ice layer, you can still see the dark silver luster shining inside.

"It's a big piece of metal, no, no, no, it's Tianmen, it must be Tianmen! We've found Tianmen!" Professor Amir shouted excitedly.

This 'rock wall' is indeed very high, but most of it is covered by ice accumulated over the years. Only about one-fifth of the flat part is exposed, but this one-fifth can still be recognized by the kobolds who get closer. Out.
