Chapter 965: Looking for the Netherworld in the Center of the Earth (38)
Thirty minutes before Bediwell and others arrived, another team also reached the deepest part of the volcanic underground palace from another passage.
"Oops!" Seglade sensed that there were other candidates nearby, and immediately reminded: "Hold on, Mordred!---I'm going to change back, meow!"
"What?!" The white-haired boy was shocked, and at the same time he was ready to withstand the impact.
At this time, the two-headed cheetah that was galloping had already released its transformation. Because Sefer and Seglade were in such a hurry to release the transformation, they did not even brake hard, so they followed the inertia and flew out together. The three of them
At the same time, the fall caused people to fall on their backs.
"Ouch------" Saifei rubbed his head and got up and said, "No one is hurt, right?"
"It's okay, meow." Seglade also rubbed his butt and got up.
"Is it necessary for you to do this?" Mordred stood up slightly dissatisfied, seemingly not hurt at all.
The two young Leopard men were silent for a while. Their combination technique was originally a secret weapon, and would not be used unless necessary. Of course, the fewer people who know this secret, the better. Now this technique may be used by others.
When many candidates see it, it’s no wonder they rush to remove the trick and hide this power.
Seglade looked around the corner of the corridor, trying to see who had arrived before them.
"How is it possible? Meow!" He couldn't help but exclaimed.
The first ones to arrive here were Albert, Chanel and Elaine. The Tiger team was clearly ranked 42nd, which was the last team to start, but the fact that the Tiger team arrived here first was hard to find.
Believe it!
After the two young Leopard men merged, their sense of smell was greatly improved. They followed the footsteps of the expedition team of the Knights of the Round Table a few years ago. They almost went straight to their destination and encountered almost no enemies---
---The enemies encountered were also left far behind by the two-headed cheetah's maneuverability, and could not constitute a battle at all.
But Tiger's team was actually faster than Feier's team! Is this really possible?! What kind of magical power did Tiger use to go faster than the route of the Knights of the Round Table expedition?! This is really amazing!
However, this matter is not over yet. Seglade knows that the destination in front of them is only the first part of reaching [that thing], and there should be a longer way to go. He winked at his teammates and signaled
Don't rush up to contact Albert's team, but take a look at the situation first.
In the death arena deep inside the underground palace of Gilimanjaro Volcano, Albert and his party were looking at a huge black pit in front of them and worrying.
A large crater about thirty feet in diameter appeared out of thin air on the surface of the Death Arena, which was formed by the condensation of volcanic lava and was extremely hard and had an uneven and smooth surface.
It looks so unnatural, as if some extraordinary force has dug directly through the ground, digging this bottomless cave in the lava rock that is harder than steel.
Even though the tiger held the torch and kept shining it, the firelight was completely unable to penetrate the strange darkness on the surface of the pit. Therefore, they had no way of knowing how deep the pit was. A cold air seeped out of it, and the pit seemed to go straight through
Hell always exudes an ominous atmosphere.
"Is this [it]?" Chanel looked at the tiger doubtfully and asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Bai said that the thing is a thousand feet below the bottom of this pit." Albert covered half of his face and thought: "But I really don't know how deep this pit is, and I don't know.
Is it safe to jump like this?"
Tiger took out a small wooden stick from his bag------it was originally something they had prepared to use as a torch. He dropped the wooden stick and tried to guess the approximate depth of the pit from the sound of the wooden stick falling to the ground.
"Boom." This was the echo that Albert expected to hear. But ten seconds, twenty seconds, and thirty seconds passed, but not even a sound came from the deep pit. It was terrifyingly quiet.
"Oh my god, how deep is this pit!" Chanel gasped.
"It's too early to draw a conclusion now," Albert, who has many years of experience in hunting monsters and surviving in the wild, said relatively calmly: "It's also possible that there is some kind of impact-absorbing material at the bottom of the pit, and there was a sound of the wooden stick falling to the ground.
Absorbed."
Chanel doesn't speak. Things are not that simple. As a dark elf, her hearing is extremely developed and she can hear subtle sounds that ordinary people cannot hear. No matter how good the impact-absorbing materials at the bottom of the pit are, Chanel should be able to hear at least a little faint sound.
There was a sound, but there was no sound. After the wooden stick fell, there was deathly silence at the bottom of the pit. This silence was simply terrifying to the dark elf girl.
The tiger looked at the white bear in confusion: "Elaine, do you want to go down and see Meow first? After you transform, you will have wings and can glide. At least you won't get hurt."
"Uh... But, this pit is really, really dark... OK, so scary." The white bear man was trembling slightly. Although he had just grown up, he was still a semi-mature young man and had an unusual fear of the dark.
And that fear comes from his experiences when he was young and cannot be easily overcome. This darkness is simply a great terror for the young white bear man.
Tiger frowned and looked at Chanel: "And you, a woman, won't be willing to go down first, right? Tsk------I'll go down first. I hope this pit can really come to an end."
"You said [that thing] is under a thousand feet, so the pit must be at most a thousand feet deep, right?" Seeing that Albert was willing to go down, Chanel couldn't help but start to encourage the tiger: "It doesn't matter, we have some parachute cloth here.
Tie the braided safety rope around your waist and lower it slowly. In this way, even if you fall by mistake, you won't fall to your death."
The tiger looked at the elf girl in confusion: "How long is our rope?"
"Uh," Chanel stuck out her tongue sheepishly: "Three hundred feet...about."
"Bastard!" A vein instantly appeared from the tiger's forehead: "Doesn't that mean there is still more than 600 feet left, meow?! If I fall, I will turn into meat, meow?! I can still come back, meow?!"
"
"Well... I also have an unused parachute here. You should also take it with you in case of emergencies. You won't fall to death --- although you may not be able to come back."
The elf girl's words made the tiger almost spit out blood.
"Very good! Remember it for me!" Albert said angrily: "Give me the props, I'll just go down! Stop talking nonsense, otherwise the advantage we finally gained over other candidates will have to be in this kind of test
The place is wasted."
"Of course." Chanel smiled slyly as if she was succeeding, took out her subspace kettle, and pulled out the rope bit by bit from the kettle.
The rope made of gelatin parachute cloth is very strong and can definitely bear Albert's weight. And the big cat has no doubt about it. The problem is that the rope is only three hundred feet long, and it may not be possible to reach it with this
The bottom of the pit. In the worst case scenario, if the pit is really a thousand feet deep, Albert will basically be unable to come back if he climbs down.
Chanel honestly took out the parachute and fixed the simple parachute on Tiger's backpack: "That's good, everything will be fine, don't worry too much."
"You don't have to go down to explore the road yourself, of course you will say so." Albert muttered in his heart. But it was useless to complain about this now, so the tiger had no choice but to bite the bullet.
He climbed to the edge of the pit, turned his back to the steep rock wall of the pit, and slowly climbed down: "I'm going down. Elaine, please hold the other end of the rope firmly."
If I go down and find that the pit is safe, I will pull the rope twice in a row, and you can follow me down; otherwise, if I pull the rope three times in a row, it proves that the pit is too deep, and it will be bad to continue going down.
.You just pull me up right away, do you understand meow?"
"I understand, I understand." The white bear replied awkwardly.
"Then be careful along the way, my dear!" Chanel said goodbye to Tiger with a smile.
"Uh!" Even though he knew it was a joke, the tiger was still hit hard by the elf girl's words.
The excited Albert hurriedly turned away to cover up the blush on his face: "I, I'm going down. Just wait for my good news------"
"Of course, hehe." Chanel was glad that she didn't have to explore the deep pit and didn't think too much.
Almost to avoid Chanel's gaze, the tiger clung to the uneven surface of the cliff made of volcanic rocks and climbed down in a hurry.
"Deep pit... damn pit." Albert complained to himself. As he crawled, he felt the surrounding environment begin to change.
It gets very, very dark.
In order to free his hands to climb the mountain, the tiger had tied a torch next to his backpack. Before the torch ran out of fuel and was completely extinguished, it should be able to provide lighting for the tiger for more than two hours.
But in this deep pit, the role of the torch is equivalent to nothing. There seems to be some kind of transparent smoke that absorbs light in the pit, which greatly reduces the lighting range of the torch. The tiger squinted and finally saw the mountains around his body.
The uneven surface on the wall. He climbed down cautiously with the help of the weak firelight that barely illuminated the mountain wall.
There are no particularly dangerous traps here, and there are no sneak attacks by enemies. But what is going on?! Why does Albert feel more uneasy as he goes down?!
The tiger calmed down and climbed down another ten feet. He was probably a hundred feet above the pit.
Then, he found that he was suddenly blind!
No, it's not blind. Albert knew very well that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight.
But he couldn't see anything! Although he could feel the heat of the torch hanging on his backpack, he couldn't see the light from the torch.
