Under the light of the enchanted pearl, the three of them quickly dived into the depths of the cave.
The underwater cave, which was originally a beast's den, was actually very deep, with many forked roads, and seemed to be connected in all directions. Bai Xiaowen and others always kept moving in one direction, and soon arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
"Incredible... The height from here to the entrance of the cave should be more than a hundred meters, right?" Li Shuyi said, "What animal would dig a cave so deep?"
Aiswan said: "I said before that there are many ferocious beasts in this area, maybe a giant python, maybe a sub-dragon, I can't tell."
This is a rock wall, but there is a triangular crack. If you get closer, you can feel the speed of sea water pouring into the crack.
"This fissure should have been caused by an earthquake, and it is connected to another cave space..." Bai Xiaowen visually inspected it, "It's enough to accommodate us passing through in batches."
"I'll come first." Eswan said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of danger there is on the other side."
"That's fine." Bai Xiaowen didn't force it. As the leader of the high-level spiritual world, Ai Siwan has over a thousand health points. He is the most suitable person to be the first pathfinder...
Aiswan is in front, Li Shuyi is in the middle, and Bai Xiaowen is behind. The three of them are like three big fish, swimming in along the triangular crack.
Not a few meters away, there was a slight feeling of weightlessness. Bai Xiaowen felt that he was falling downwards along the water. The sound of rushing water rang in his ears.
Plop, plop...
Sounds like dumplings being dropped were heard continuously, and Bai Xiaowen and the others fell into a deep pool one after another, and then surfaced.
The three of them wiped a handful of water drops in unison, raised their heads and looked around.
Ai Siwan and Li Shuyi both had shocked looks on their faces.
Here is a rather wide underground space, with irregular cracks on the ground and side walls, and collapsed stalactites everywhere, blocking the view.
On the high wall behind the three people, a triangular crack connected to the outside world, and the sea water rolled down, forming a waterfall.
A large amount of seawater washes into the deep pool every second, but the water level of the pool does not rise. It is precisely because of the buffering of this pool that a space without seawater is created on the seabed.
The principle is also simple, just like pressing an inverted bowl quickly into the bottom of the reservoir. The air in the bowl will naturally not escape, creating a bowl-shaped air zone at the bottom of the reservoir.
"Phew, it looks like we've arrived."
Bai Xiaowen walked out of the pool, took out a photo crystal, injected a bit of mental power to activate it, and looked around. Occasionally, some light yellow crystals could be seen on the ground, which were similar to the crystals on the body of the spiked shark.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the Butcher again and ordered it to eat these crystals. Sure enough, he once again got the news of "devouring special minerals, armor, and increased magic resistance", but this time the amount swallowed was less, only 6 more
Points to armor and magic resistance.
Bai Xiaowen was also prompted whether to overwrite the original effect, and of course he chose no. The reason why he let the butcher eat this little crystal was just to support his conjecture.
"What exactly is this place?" Eswan's green eyes were full of disbelief.
"According to the ancient books I checked in the Wisdom Tree House, this place should be called...the Earthline Corridor."
It is quite a sense of accomplishment to do local science popularization for people in the spiritual world. Bai Xiaowen's face showed a smile that was in line with the temperament of a prophet, and he continued: "Our continent does not exist in a floating form on the sea.
In the form of pillars.”
"pillar?"
"Yes, the Kuroshio Continent can be divided into several plates. The leyline pillars support these continental plates. Each pillar corresponds to a very empty underground space. This space is called the leyline corridor.
"
Bai Xiaowen picked up a small piece of light yellow crystal: "Have you seen this crystal? This is the fragment of the earth vein pillar..."
"Fragments?!" Aiswan raised his head suddenly, "You mean the leyline pillar here has been..."
"I accepted it pretty quickly..." Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He thought it would take a lot of talking to get Aiswan to accept this fantastic fact.
After all, Bai Xiaowen, who was in the Wisdom Tree House, only came to this conclusion by combining the picture of the prophecy slate and ancient books. When the conclusion was just drawn, Bai Xiaowen doubted himself for a while...and then proposed to come.
Test your ideas here.
Li Shuyi followed up and said: "Looking at the mess here, it looks like a world war has broken out. The earth line pillars must have been broken."
Aiswan murmured: "Could it be that...the leyline pillars shattered, causing the leyline corridor to collapse, and then...an earthquake occurred in Amusa Forest?"
"Correct answer. This was originally a very large ley line corridor. However, due to the collapse of the earthquake and the fracture and fall of large stalactites, the underground space was divided into many small areas... Our current location must be the edge area of the ley line corridor.
, we must go to the central area." Bai Xiaowen sighed and said.
"Going to the central area...what to do?" Aiswan couldn't think about it for a while.
Bai Xiaowen tilted his head and glanced at him: "Of course I have found the original site of the broken earth line pillar. Don't you think that just based on what you have seen so far, you can convince the mainland countries to believe me? In the central area, there must be
More to discover.”
Seeing that Aiswan was silent, Bai Xiaowen moved forward directly, and at the same time started a mental scan, looking for a gap to pass between the stalactite obstacles.
"Master Aiswan, hurry up and follow. Xiaowen never makes mistakes." Li Shuyi's reminder brought Aiswan back to his senses and hurriedly followed.
Driving through small, imperceptible gaps, the trio got closer and closer to the core area of the collapsed earth corridor.
During this period, they also encountered some deformed beasts infected by the energy of the earth's veins, more of which were corpses. The living beasts became manic and abnormal, and would attack as soon as they saw other creatures of different races.
Bai Xiaowen used the reason of "asking Eswan to teach Charlotte the swordsmanship", so that Eswan, the master of swordsmanship, would not have to take action, and Li Shuyi would be the main output force. When encountering two or more monsters, Bai Xiaowen's summoned creature would be the one to attack Li Shuyi.
Create a one-on-one space and concentrate on learning swordsmanship skills.
Ai Siwan did not doubt his presence and patiently taught Li Shuyi sword skills, the most important of which was the sword chanting technique.
However, Ai Siwan also made it clear to Li Shuyi that she could not learn the real elf sword chanting technique, which involved racial characteristics.
