Chapter 696: Vulcan Pillar and the City in the Darkness
Listening to Yan Jinbai's joke about malnutrition, the three of them had a comfortable trip, but the child talked too much, which made him cry later.
"Isn't it really funny? I've told you one hundred and twenty-seven stories, but you haven't laughed once, woo woo hoo~"
"Ha~ so funny."
"Hey~ Come on, the jokes are great."
It was okay if they didn't talk about it. Yan Jinbai was even more sad when he mentioned it. These two guys were too perfunctory. The smiles on their faces were so fake that they were not sincere at all. He obviously told so many happy jokes.
.
Affected by morale, Yan Jinbai's mood amplified quickly. Once he was depressed, he might sob lowly. This kind of mood came suddenly, and no one had any way to deal with it. Even Xu Zhi could only rely on
Wear a Medal of Honor to reduce the impact.
It was rare to tell a joke that made him cry. Xu Zhi decided to divert his emotions. Now they have walked very far. They don’t know how far they are from the ground. The underground space is getting bigger and bigger, and the space is getting higher and higher. Holding the energy
Deng looked around, and suddenly, Xu Zhi's face lit up with joy.
"Look, there is a big pillar here with messy patterns on it. It must be artificial traces. There is probably a harvest nearby."
When the serious business came, everyone's expressions became solemn. Harvest is often accompanied by danger. Although the area was cleared once by the predecessors, who knows whether they have been cleaned up, or when the cave was evolved, there were many fish that slipped through the net.
After all, this is underground, and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave is a world of undead creatures. These creatures are usually no different from dead creatures and will only wake up when disturbed.
"I'm best at climbing pillars. I'll go up and have a look. Maybe I can see some unexpected things from a higher place."
As the most capable person in the team, Yan Jinbai has actually been taking the initiative to undertake exploration, investigation, and even high-risk tasks. He seems to be very playful, but he has abruptly integrated into Xu Zhi and Gu Yuxi
The friendship between these two senior sisters, especially Gu Yuxi, was not very deep due to the difference between men and women, but now they get along extremely harmoniously in the team.
As long as they can keep up with each other as they practice, they will be a small team for a long time. If there is anything else, Yan Jinbai thought about it and quickly got rid of the idea. Like Yan Xuankong, he also wanted to form his own team, but
Now he feels strange, always feeling like someone else's follower, which makes him very distressed.
"Pooh"
Putting down the sword in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, Yan Jinbai spat into his hand and said, "I used to have a nickname in high school, called the Little Prince of Climbing High. This kind of pillar is a no-brainer for me."
There are natural veins on the stone pillars, but there are also obvious artificial chiseling marks. They are thick and long, and even three or five people can't wrap their arms around them. If you raise the energy lamp and look up, you can't see the top where the light radiates.
, I don’t know how high it is.
Yan Jinbai put the energy lamp in the upper pocket of his pocket and grabbed the stone pillar wall with both hands. Relying on the lines on the stone pillar, he climbed steadily. Xu Zhi and Gu Yuxi disappeared after squatting below for a while.
His figure, this guy is really good at climbing.
Gu Yuxi walked around for a while, then came back and said strangely to Xu Zhi, who was holding an energy lamp: "This stone pillar seems to be an underground lighthouse. I saw a stone door on the side."
"lighthouse?"
Following the direction pointed by Gu Yuxi, Xu Zhi noticed the secret door of the stone pillar. It was very old and there was a lot of dust on the stone door. If he hadn't paid special attention, he would have almost ignored the thin crack in the door.
Push it hard, and the stone door will make a heavy and slow clicking sound, and it will continue to move backwards.
Looking at the footholds of the protruding stones inside the tower, Xu Zhi looked blankly at Yan Jinbai who was crawling without a trace. The inside could be climbed, so why were they climbing outside?
"Hey Jin Bai, we found the secret door in the stone pillar. It's easy to get inside."
"Ah~fuck me."
Yan Jinbai's furious voice came from the dark top pillar, and then a thin sound of sliding down came.
Knowing that this guy had heard the news, Xu Zhi felt relieved and followed Gu Yuxi into the stone gate.
"This place seems to be a place for lighting and lighting."
In addition to the top of the rock climbing wall, the inner chamber of the stone pillar also had two furnace walls. Some dark substance was placed at the bottom. Gu Yuxi waved her hand and smelled it carefully before confirming that it was some kind of combustible substance.
"Little by little, the lighthouse must light up."
Xu Zhi saw a lighthouse underground for the first time and thought that it was really a magical item. However, the underground world was definitely relatively rare. The difference between the above ground and underground was too great. He didn’t know what relics the ancestors lived here or what kind of relics they had.
It was said that this place was a big tomb. While Xu Zhi was thinking about it, Gu Yuxi took out a fire starter. When the flames came in contact with each other, the pitch-black substance instantly ignited and spread up along the furnace wall until it reached the top of the stone pillar.
The bright firelight covered up the light of the energy lamp. It was very pleasant to see the blazing firelight in a dark environment. The two of them just nodded with satisfaction when they heard the sound of falling outside.
Sound of things.
"What's going on? Why did it start burning? I'm scared to death."
His bones ached from the fall. Yan Jinbai felt that his luck was really bad today and he cried endlessly. Now the stone pillar suddenly burst into flames and turned red instantly. He was so frightened that he jumped down from the stone pillar. He looked around and suddenly saw what was ahead of him.
It was bright and clear, and black clouds filled the air in the far distance, and there seemed to be hazy city outline buildings underneath.
"Look over there."
Ignoring the pain, Yan Jinbai pointed in the direction and muttered to Xu Zhi and Gu Yuxi who were rushing out.
The city under the black cloud was dilapidated and decayed. After just a few seconds, it became dark again under the cover of the black cloud. No trace of it could be seen anymore. This was a well-hidden building complex.
"I've seen the archives of Wangui Cave, but it doesn't seem to mention the city."
Yan Jinbai said, Xu Zhi and Gu Yuxi's eyes lit up instantly. A city means that there may be some technologies that are completely different from the outside world, and it may even have certain reference value for technology.
To them, this is an unexplored virgin land, and maybe reporting it will be considered a credit.
"Should we quit or explore."
"Of course I want to go. That direction is easy to find. In addition to seeing the city clearly, I can also see the road below."
"The straight-line distance from our place is only about ten kilometers, but it's quite a long way to go in a winding way."
"Be careful of ghosts that may wake up. I don't know what the level of cultivation was in this place before."
"The current files are records after it became Dongtian, and the old files from the past have been sealed."
After just a brief discussion, the three of them decided to go to that place to investigate. Risks must exist, but compared to the unknown gains, exploration is always worth doing.
Discovering the unknown, if they can't even do the most basic exploration, they will be in vain as cultivators.
