0101 A blessing in disguise, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other
The massive explosions of Hex Crystals are not without some benefits.
Both Lux and Ino could clearly feel that it was much easier for them to mobilize the elements.
This will be of great help in opening up the section from the mine to the laboratory entrance.
After Janna's confirmation, they had arrived directly above the entrance passage of the laboratory. As long as they continued to dig, the entrance to Kalikan's laboratory would be below. In this case, even after half a day of labor, fighting and running, everyone was still
I mustered up my energy, picked up the tools, and started digging downward.
This time, Lux and Ino also went all out and joined in the excavation.
While everyone was sweating profusely, a gust of breeze blew by from time to time, taking away their sweat and exhaustion. Under their feet, a pothole visible to the naked eye was gradually taking shape!
Lux's lightsaber easily broke into the soil, loosening the soil structure. When it encountered rocks, the attached ice blocks created by Ino squeezed them away. With the continuous efforts of the two powerful mages, Benso finally made it in three places.
After an hour, I stepped on nothing.
There is a cavity below!
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly pulled Bensuo up, and at the same time mustered up their strength again, they began to expand the hole. After a while, a passage that could accommodate one person through appeared at everyone's feet.
Without saying a word, Lux created two bright lights in the palms of her hands, and then jumped in immediately.
As her body descended, the light in her hand expanded rapidly and soon turned into a long stick, with the top connected to the entrance and the bottom reaching the solid "ground".
Lux held the long pole with both hands, slid down smoothly, and landed lightly on the ground.
Underfoot... is a floor tile that is obviously artificially paved!
It's here!
"Come down quickly and follow the pole!" Lux held the light beam with one hand and waved it a few times with the other hand, "We are here!"
After hearing Lux's words, the others no longer hesitated and descended the pole one after another. Among them, those with limited mobility were carried by Benso and Fandel. In the end, they successfully arrived at this huge underground cavity.
"Is this the passage to the laboratory?" After confirming that everyone had come down, Lux dispersed the light beam, held up a bright light with one hand, and looked around carefully, "My God, it's so spacious.
The place is actually just a passage!"
Lux was so surprised, and the Zaun people in the team could hardly speak when they saw this scene - if before this, someone told them that someone would build a tunnel in the underground laboratory,
If the height is more than ten meters and the width is enough for five cars to pass in parallel, they will definitely think that this person has something wrong with his head.
However, at this moment, they are in such a passage!
As for why everyone is so sure, this is just the passage to the laboratory...
The reason is simple. Less than a hundred steps in front of them, there is a golden door.
Considering that it is still dazzling after so many years, I am afraid that the surface of this door is really made of gold.
"Good boy -" Milo's eyes widened and he looked at the door blankly, "Is it gold-plated or pure gold? How much does it cost?"
"Gold-plated." Lux glanced at the child with golden eyes and shook her head slightly, "But... even if it's gold-plated, I'm afraid the cost is quite staggering - and it's just a door."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Milo became excited on the spot, "Quick, quick, let's go there...wait, there seems to be someone there?!"
Anyone?
Lux was horrified. She projected a beam of light in the direction of Milo's finger, and under the light of the beam, half of her body was twisting hard.
Wait, why is it half a person?!
"That's not half a person, that's a person stuck in the wall!" Kalya sighed helplessly, "Good guy, I never thought that someone could squeeze into this corridor like this?"
Lux hurried forward after hearing this - although she didn't know who was so unlucky and stuck in the wall, but now that she saw it, she couldn't ignore it.
Even if this guy is a tomb robber from Piltover, she can't just sit back and watch him die here.
"Ino, come and help me!" Lux waved behind her, "Try to see if you can squeeze this guy out of the hole with ice!"
"Coming."
Ino nodded and came to Lux - she looked up at the struggling half of her body and sighed helplessly.
"I don't know what his situation is like up there. If I help rashly, I might hurt him..."
"But if he doesn't help, he will die." Lux smacked her lips, "Um... Fander, come here and continue. Ino and I will try to see if we can penetrate the surrounding rock formations!"
"Okay!"
……………………
Ezreal was heartbroken.
He originally thought that he was leading the way and could be first come, first served in this expedition, but Xiao Huangmao never imagined that just when he bypassed a bunch of magic traps and passed through an ice wall again,
The mine suddenly collapsed.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xiao Huangmao turned around without hesitation, crouched down with his head in his hands, hoping that the ice wall would protect him from being buried alive by the collapsed mine - and the fact was as he expected, because there was a piece of ice supporting him.
Overall he's pretty safe.
However... ice will melt.
As the ice melted, the ground under Ezreal's feet gradually began to loosen, and his body gradually began to sink. This terrifying situation was enough to make most people's hair stand on end, but Ezreal was overjoyed.
Because he judged that this subsidence meant that there might be a huge cavity underneath - perhaps an underground river, perhaps a natural cave.
Obviously, he was lucky. The huge explosion shook the structure of the mine and made part of the structure of the passage below unstable. Ezreal accidentally found a new way to escape.
Realizing this, Xiao Huangmao recalled the way to save his life in the quicksand while slowly sinking with the wet soil. Soon, his feet were hanging in the air.
That’s right!
That’s it!
According to Ezreal's calculations, before he was crushed to death, he could successfully pass through the mud and enter the cavity below.
Everything went smoothly, Ezreal knew how to explore.
But it's a pity that he doesn't know magic.
Ezreal did not realize that this ice wall was created by magic, and after melting, it evaporated very quickly.
As a result, before Ezreal could cross this wet semi-mud, the soil solidified again - his feet were already empty, but most of his body was still buried in the soil.
What's worse is that just when Xiao Huangmao started to dig into the soil with his mouth, trying to stretch out his arms to dig himself out, he suddenly felt that his lower body, which could move freely... suddenly felt cold.
At this moment, Ezreal's heart finally sank to the bottom.
