Natural wind-eroded caves do not mean there are no traps.
But compared to artificial tunnels, this kind of terrain will be easier to detect if there are mechanisms.
After all, there is an essential difference between the two. The mechanisms of the corridor are all added during construction. It is usually difficult to see the clues without triggering them. However, if you want to add mechanisms in a natural cave that is integrated, it will inevitably be difficult no matter how exquisite your craftsmanship is.
Leave traces.
After Hu Bayi carefully looked at the cave in front of him, he did not go in rashly. Instead, he used the techniques he knew to conduct some testing. After completing this, he nodded towards Chen Ziyan:
"Master Chen, it should be fine."
Chen Ziyan, who was watching the whole process, also knew that Hu Bayi had done well enough, and no matter who he was in this situation, he could only do it to this extent.
"Then let's go in and have a look." Chen Ziyan said.
Then the two puppet armors opened the way, and the group slowly entered the dark wind-eroded cave in front of them.
The scale of this wind-eroded cave is very irregular, with some places being wide and some being narrow, but even the narrowest part can accommodate three to four people walking side by side.
Although it has been verified that there is no mechanism at the entrance, no one has relaxed their vigilance and is always paying attention to the surrounding situation while walking.
This naturally formed tunnel is very long, as if it has no end, but people walking in it can clearly feel that they are constantly spiraling downward.
Tick tick tick...
After walking for about two hours, a slight sound of water dripping came from the front.
Although the sound of water drops is very slight, it is so clear in the dark and silent environment.
The sound of water dripping cheered everyone up, because it meant that they were probably going to walk out of this tunnel.
The same environment for two consecutive hours, even though everyone had expected it, still felt a bit boring after the actual experience. If it weren't for maintaining enough physical strength to adapt, someone would have already proposed to speed up.
After everyone listened carefully, they determined that the sound of water dripping came from the front, and after confirming from the echo that the space there was very vast, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
As the saying goes, a horse can run to death in Wangshan, and this is absolutely true.
The sound of water dripping sounds very close, but it actually took more than ten minutes to walk.
However, everyone's guess was correct. The place where the sound of water dripping came from was indeed a vast space, and it was far wider than they imagined.
The end of the tunnel is on a cliff. Standing at the entrance of the cliff, they can see that what appears in front of them is a mirror-like lake. At the end of the lake is a deep stream with an unclear outline. There will be more.
The lake water carried it far away.
"Is this another underground world?" Wang Kaixuan looked at the invisible void in the distance and couldn't help but said.
Judging from the first impression, this place is certainly no smaller than the sinkhole above.
"Look above." At this moment, Chen Ziyan suddenly reminded.
The rest of the people looked up subconsciously, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces at this moment.
They saw a group of large dragonflies-like aquatic mayflies wandering around more than ten meters above them. These mayflies had a faint fluorescence on their bodies, and their six-foot-long bodies were like white ghosts flying in the air. But what really attracts everyone's attention is not this strange underground creature, but the things on the mayflies.
If the lake below is like a mirror, then above their heads is a unique transparent mirror. With the light of those fluorescent mayflies, they can clearly see that on the transparent barrier that looks like a mirror and crystal, there is
It's a scene at the bottom of a lake.
And...it's still a lake they are familiar with.
Wind erosion lake!
Because they clearly saw that there were several behemoths fighting in the space above, which were the white-bearded fish and striped dragons they had seen before.
"Are we under the Wind Erosion Lake now?" Shirley Yang felt very magical. Everything she saw in front of her gave her a strange and bizarre feeling.
"Although it sounds unrealistic, it is indeed the case." Chen Ziyan nodded lightly: "If we read correctly, the location above us should be the largest cave in the Wind Erosion Lake."
Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the others were in a daze.
This underground world is so amazing.
"Then we are... on the second floor underground now?" Hu Bayi said in a low voice.
There is no doubt that their current position is much lower than before.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a second underground floor, which makes me wonder if there will be a similar space below.
"Tsk, what kind of hell have we encountered, and now we have encountered this, is it possible that there are eighteen levels of hell here?" Wang Kaixuan saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he deliberately made a joke.
"The eighteenth floor is definitely not possible, but the third and fifth floors are very possible." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
After seeing such a strange landform, he suddenly had an idea, that is, was the original Demon Kingdom simply an underground race?
He knows very well that in this world, the underground has developed a civilization that is not inferior to that on the surface. If the Evil Luohai tribe comes from the underground, it can explain why they worship the abyss, and it can also explain why they worship the abyss.
The underground is so special.
"We don't have much time, so let's find the next step as soon as possible." Just when Chen Ziyan wanted to explore further, Shirley Yang suddenly said.
Although Shirley Yang behaved normally, Chen Ziyan could hear a hint of suppressed pain in her tone.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyan knew where the problem lay.
It must be the influence of the power of imaginary space.
Although several people in the team are cursed by the ghost eye, the most serious one is definitely Shirley Yang, so in the area affected by the power of imaginary space, she is also the one who is most severely affected.
Although this was only a possibility, Chen Ziyan did not dare to ignore it. He immediately looked at the lake below, trying to find the next way.
This lake has an unobstructed view, and the altar you are looking for is obviously not here, so there is no need to stay here longer, just leave as soon as possible.
Chen Ziyan did not tell anyone what he had discovered. He could probably guess what Shirley Yang was thinking. Now that the atmosphere in the team had just eased, it would be useless to talk about this kind of thing at this time, and it would also affect the mentality of others. Chen Ziyan soon discovered that there was no place to stay in the lake below. The only way for them to leave here was to jump directly into the water and then follow the current to leave through the deep stream in the distance.
After just thinking for a few seconds, Chen Ziyan had already made a decision.
Now that we have come this far, there is no need to look forward or backward anymore. It is better to be bold and go straight ahead.
He had a hunch that there must be what he and others were looking for below the deep gorge.
He immediately stopped hesitating and said to the others: "There is no way down here. Let's jump directly into the water, and then follow the direction of the current until we reach the deep stream before making plans."
Hu Bayi glanced at the situation below and nodded: "Okay."
Others also nodded, and they could all see that this was the most effective method at present.
Anyway, it’s not very high from the water, so there won’t be any danger.
Everyone jumped into the water one by one according to the plan. Fortunately, the water here was very calm and there were no large creatures, so they reached the surroundings of the deep stream smoothly.
Because they were afraid of being swept down by the increasingly turbulent water, everyone did not go directly to the deep stream, but chose to stay in a nearby area with smooth water flow.
After arriving at this area, Chen Ziyan immediately discovered that there was not nothing at the edge of the lake, but the edge was relatively narrow, so he didn't see it at the entrance of the cave.
When he stood on the edge, he saw that there was another cliff below. The deep gorge was just lower than where they were now, so it gave people the illusion that there was a deep gorge below. In fact,
There is indeed a special underground plain below.
"Master Chen, how should we get down?" Hu Bayi asked with a frown.
This place is no better than before. If they really go down the waterfall in the deep stream, their flesh and blood bodies may not be able to bear it.
And more importantly, there is an underground river that extends to unknown places. If you go down the raging waterfall, where you end up is beyond human control.
"We can use that thing to go down!" Chen Ziyan had already replaced the flashlight with a searchlight with a longer range. After looking down for a while with the searchlight, he already had an idea in his mind.
Others looked along the landing point of the searchlight beam and saw a huge plant there, which looked like... a mushroom?
Wang Kaixuan immediately exclaimed: "Isn't that a fucking mushroom? ...A mushroom that is more than ten stories high?"
"It looks like it, but I don't know if it's true." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly, and then said: "But we can use this thing to go down, which is right."
There is not only this big mushroom down here, but a giant mushroom jungle, but this mushroom is the largest and closest to them.
"We are about ten meters away from this big mushroom. This does not include the height difference. It is not easy to fall smoothly on it." Shirley Yang made a simple visual inspection and said.
Although this big mushroom is the closest to them, it is not within reach. If you want to successfully get there, you need to take risks.
At the very least, the first person to pass will fall directly from here if he fails to land successfully.
"There is no other better way, we must try it." Chen Ziyan said.
Naturally, he also knew that this method was risky, but that's not the job they were engaged in. Every step they took after entering the mountains was not accompanied by crisis.
After finishing speaking, Chen Ziyan did not wait for anyone else to say anything, and directly tied a climbing rope around Huahu's waist, letting him take the lead.
Others are not surprised by this, but they also think that Huahu is very suitable, because in terms of flexibility and speed, Huahu is one of the best in the team, and because he is a puppet, Huahu's performance has always been
They are very stable and will not be affected by the environment.
Although there is a lake behind, there is a barrier next to it, so it is not like there is no room for movement.
After running a few steps to pick up the speed, Huahu jumped towards the big mushroom in an awkward posture.
Although the starting space was limited, Huahu's abilities were there and did not disappoint Chen Ziyan, and he successfully completed the task.
"Let's go, it's our turn!" Seeing this, Chen Ziyan turned to the others beside him and said.
The most difficult part of this matter is the first step, and the rest is much easier.
He used a tool to fix the other end of the climbing rope to the rock barrier at his feet, and then was the first to row towards the big mushroom.
When he landed on the ground, Chen Ziyan felt as if he had fallen on a fluffy flesh pad, and the touch beneath him did not feel like a plant at all.
However, he was not busy studying this, but quickly moved out of the way to help Huahu fix the climbing rope.
Except for Wang Kaixuan who hesitated for a while, everyone else did not hesitate and quickly rowed along the climbing rope.
After everyone fell under the umbrella of the big mushroom, Chen Ziyan began to study the next step.
Their current goal is very simple, that is, to get to the bottom of the giant mushroom first, and then go find the altar after getting their feet on the ground.
If you want to reach the ground smoothly, you must use other big mushrooms, just like walking up the stairs, using the height difference of the mushroom shape to jump to the ground step by step.
"This mushroom is really big, Lao Hu, do you think this is the emperor mushroom that the old people in the village used to talk about?" Wang Kaixuan looked at the giant mushrooms around him and asked Hu Bayi.
When they were in Ganggangyingzi, they heard the old people in the village talk about emperor mushrooms.
It is said that this is a very rare species that can only be found in inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, and it exists for a very short time. You may just see it in the morning and disappear by the evening.
"I can't tell." Hu Bayi also couldn't make up his mind.
This giant mushroom is very similar to the rumored emperor mushroom. It also has an amazing size and comes in a variety of colors.
But the problem lies in the size. He believes that the Emperor Mushroom that fellow villagers have seen is definitely not that big, so he is not sure whether the two are the same thing.
"Fat Master is so knowledgeable. This is the kind of emperor mushroom." Just when Hu Bayi was hesitant, Black Glasses suddenly said with a smile.
When Chen Ziyan heard what he said suddenly, he asked: "Old Hei, do you know this thing?"
Black Glasses nodded: "I encountered it once overseas a few years ago. This thing is not a good thing."
The reason why he took the initiative to answer the call was to remind him.
It was not beyond his expectation. After hearing what he said, Chen Ziyan immediately asked: "Isn't it a good thing? What's the danger of this giant mushroom?"
Black Glasses said: "This big mushroom is not dangerous. As long as you don't eat it, you'll be fine. But this thing is very attractive to weird things, so you have to be careful about this."
