Chapter 923: Leyline Corridor
Under the light of the enchanted pearl, the three quickly sneaked into the depths of the cave.
The undersea cave, which was originally a den of beasts, is actually very deep, with many forked roads, and it seems to be extending in all directions. Bai Xiaowen and others kept moving in one direction, and soon came to the deepest part of a cave.
"It's unbelievable... the height from here to the entrance of the cave should be more than 100 meters?" Li Shuyi said, "What kind of animal would dig the cave so deep?"
Eswan said: "As I said before, there are many ferocious beasts in this area, maybe it's a giant python, maybe it's a sub-dragon, it's hard to say."
This is a rock wall, but there is a triangular crack. If you get close, you can feel the flow of seawater pouring into the crack.
"This crack should be caused by an earthquake, and it is connected to another cave space..." Bai Xiaowen checked it visually, "It is enough for us to pass through in batches."
"I'll come first." Eswan said in a deep voice, "I don't know what kind of danger is on the other side."
"Alright." Bai Xiaowen didn't force it. As the leader of the high-level spiritual world, Eswan, with a life value of over a thousand, is the most suitable as the first pathfinder...
Eswan was in front, Li Shuyi was in the middle, and Bai Xiaowen was in the back. The three of them were like three big fish, swimming in along the triangular gap.
Not a few meters away, there was a slight feeling of weightlessness, and Bai Xiaowen felt that he was falling down along the water. The sound of rushing water rang in his ears.
Plop, plop...
The sound of making dumplings sounded continuously, and the three of Bai Xiaowen fell into a deep pool one after another, and then surfaced.
The three of them wiped a handful of water drops at the same time, looked up and looked around.
Both Eswan and Li Shuyi showed shock on their faces.
Here is a rather wide underground space, with irregular cracks on the ground and side walls, and collapsed stalactites everywhere, blocking sight.
On the high wall behind the three of them, a triangular crack connected to the outside world, and the sea water rolled down, forming a waterfall.
A large amount of seawater washed into the deep pool every second, but the water level of the pool did not rise. It is precisely because of the buffer of this pool that a space without seawater is created on the bottom of the sea.
The principle is also simple, just like quickly pressing an upside-down bowl into the bottom of the reservoir, the air in the bowl will naturally not dissipate, creating a bowl-shaped air zone at the bottom of the pool.
"Phew, it looks like we've arrived."
Bai Xiaowen walked out of the pool, took out a picture crystal, injected a little spiritual power to activate it, and looked around at the same time. Occasionally, some light yellow crystals can be seen on the ground, which are similar to the surface crystals of the spiked shark.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the butcher again and ordered it to eat these crystals. Sure enough, he got the news of "swallowing special minerals, increasing armor and magic resistance", but this time the amount of swallowing was smaller, and only 6 points of armor and magic resistance were added.
Bai Xiaowen was also prompted whether to overwrite the original effect, of course he chose no. The reason why the butcher was allowed to eat this little crystal was just to prove his conjecture.
"What exactly is this place?" Eswan's green eyes were filled with disbelief.
"According to the ancient books I consulted in the Wisdom Tree House, this place should be called...the Corridor of Earth Leys."
Doing local science popularization for people in the spiritual world is quite fulfilling. Bai Xiaowen showed a prophetic smile on his face, and continued: "Our continent does not exist on the sea in the form of floating, but in the form of pillars."
"pillar?"
"Yes, the Kuroshio continent can be divided into several plates. The pillars of the leylines support these continental plates. Each pillar corresponds to a very empty underground space. This space is called the corridor of the leylines. "
Bai Xiaowen picked up a small light yellow crystal: "Have you seen this crystal? This is the fragment of the pillar of the earth veins..."
"Fragments?!" Eswan raised his head suddenly, "You mean the pillars of the earth veins here have been..."
"You accepted it quite quickly..." Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, he thought it would take a lot of talking to get Eswan to accept this fantastic fact.
After all, Bai Xiaowen, who was in the Wisdom Tree House back then, came to this conclusion based on the pictures of the prophecy slate and ancient books. And when the conclusion was just drawn, Bai Xiaowen doubted himself for a while...then he proposed to come here to verify his ideas.
Li Shuyi followed up and said: "Look at the mess here, it looks like a world war broke out, the pillars of the earth must be broken."
Eswan murmured, "Could it be that...the pillars of the leylines were broken, causing the corridors of the leylines to collapse, and then...there was an earthquake in the Amusha Forest?"
"That's right. This was originally a super-large leyline corridor, but 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 of the leyline corridor , we must go to the central area." Bai Xiaowen said with a sigh.
"Go to the central area...what to do?" Eswan couldn't think for a while.
Bai Xiaowen tilted his head and glanced at him: "Of course I found the original site of the broken ley line pillar. Don't you think that with what you have seen so far, you can convince the mainland countries to believe me? In the central area, there must be More discoveries."
Seeing that Eswan was silent, Bai Xiaowen went straight forward, and at the same time started the mental scan, looking for gaps between the stalactite obstacles that could pass.
"Master Eswan, hurry up and follow. Xiaowen will never make a mistake." Li Shuyi's reminder brought Eswan back to his senses and hurriedly followed.
Drilling through imperceptible small gaps, the trio is getting closer and closer to the core area of the collapsed leyline corridor.
During this period, they also encountered some deformed beasts infected by the energy of the earth's veins, and more corpses. The living beasts became manic, and when they saw other creatures of different races, they would attack immediately.
Bai Xiaowen used the reason of "asking Eswan to teach Charlotte's swordsmanship" as an excuse to let Eswan, the master of swordsmanship, not have to make a move, and Li Shuyi was the main output. When encountering more than two monsters, Bai Xiaowen's summoned creature will be on top to create a one-on-one space for Li Shuyi to concentrate on learning sword skills.
Eswan did not doubt him, and patiently taught Li Shuyi sword skills, the most important of which was the skill of sword chant.
However, Eswan also made it very clear to Li Shuyi that she would not be able to learn the real elf sword chant, which involved racial characteristics.
