Chapter 720 Entrance and Exit
"Wait, I'll go with you!" Li followed.
"No, you stay here!" Venerable Shengtian said anxiously, but her obstruction had no effect. The fox demon jumped out of the carriage without looking back.
Soon, people from Jinxia filed out, as if it had become a habit.
Not only Li, Shanhui and other demons, but also Princess Guangping and Luo Qingqing turned around and followed!
This scene made Li Mengyun stunned.
"Don't worry too much, that guy knows his limits." Qian suddenly said, "He has taken many risks, but he never acts rashly. And God knows how much he has listened to. Many dangers that are difficult for us to deal with can be easily solved in his hands. Just let them go."
"You're not going?" The Venerable turned back and looked at the Feathered Envoy.
"Someone has to guard the rear." He shrugged. "I may not be good at challenging new things, but I am professional at guarding the rear."
Is this what Qian Shifang, who always rushed to the front, would say...
"I know what you are worried about." Yan Qing also nodded, "We are watching here, you can go if you want."
She is worried about Li.
Li Mengyun glanced at her two former partners, and then ordered the subordinates of the Salvation Church, "The rest of you stay here until I come back!"
After that, she jumped out of the car and chased after Li.
"This place... is very strange." Luo Qingqing whispered.
"Oh? Can you see anything?" Xia Fan asked. The situation outside the car was the same as he expected. There was a narrow emergency evacuation platform on both sides for people to pass through. However, there was no light in the tunnel, and it was all illuminated by fire sticks. Everyone's vision was limited to a very small range, and Luo Qingqing became the one who saw the farthest.
"When the carriage was running before, there was a strong aura outside the window, but after it stopped, it suddenly weakened a lot, just like when I saw it in the underground hall." Luo replied softly.
"Really?" Xia Fan pondered for a moment, suddenly slowed down, and inserted the fire into the bottom of the special train.
Under the swaying light, a series of complex patterns loomed.
"So that's it... I should have guessed it earlier." He murmured.
"Guess what?"
"These special trains, which integrate the technology of aura, are no longer traditional mechanical creations." Xia Fan said in words that everyone can understand, "It is very likely that it is driven by aura, and these talismans carved on the ground are a huge magic array."
Or only in this way can the mechanism still work as before after thousands of years.
He couldn't say whether this was progress or regression, but it was undoubtedly a way of adapting to local conditions.
If Jin Xia also mastered this technology...
This relic itself is a huge treasure house.
However, Xia Fan knew that now was not the time to indulge in technical details. He had to go to the exposed area to see it in person to confirm his guess.
The train passed through the exposed area in less than a dozen breaths, but they walked for a full quarter of an hour.
When the dim silver light sprinkled from the top of their heads, the group finally saw the whole picture of the tunnel.
"This is..." Venerable Shengtian opened his eyes wide.
"The mountain is broken?" Ning Wanjun added what she wanted to say.
I saw that the tunnel was not made entirely of stone, and its top was actually transparent! It was just that there was a lack of lighting after entering the cave, so no one noticed that there was another cave above the dark tunnel. And now, they saw a huge gap through the transparent ceiling, like a cross-section of a mountain ridge. Outside this gap is the source of light.
No... This is not the Baiyao Mountains.
Xia Fan swallowed his saliva. The mountains are just a cover. Because of the miasma surrounding them, few people have actually crossed the mountains. They always think that the Baiyao Mountains extend all the way south to the end of the land. But in fact, what people see is just a false scene, just like the rumored boundary of the permafrost sea, which can be seen by the eyes, but cannot go any further.
This special train seems to be shuttling through the deep mountains, but in fact it has already wandered on the edge of the "world", and it is precisely because of this that it is possible to be exposed.
To be more precise, the exposure has already happened.
He saw a similar passage not far away, which was revealed under the faint light. However, this passage was closer to the breach, so it was unfortunately affected, and a section in the middle was crushed into powder.
"God bless..." Olina subconsciously recited the prayer. She couldn't understand the scene in front of her for a while - after the mountain was broken, she saw not a bright sky, but a night full of stars. It's just that this night is much deeper than the usual night, and with the barren land outside the mountain, it vaguely gives people a chilling feeling.
It is said that there is a world beyond the sky, and there is also the residence of the gods. She has long been out of Hera's protection, but seeing this scene still makes her unconsciously think of the poems of the kingdom of God.
Have they unconsciously entered the territory of God?
Xia Fan still did not stop, he walked forward along the passage, looking for the expected exit. Although part of the sky can be seen here, the cracks in the cover above are very irregular, and the vision is severely blocked. He must find a more suitable position to watch.
After a while, he found such an "exit".
A small room protruding half of the passage.
"Is this what you are looking for?" Li asked curiously.
"Yes." Xia Fan nodded, "It can take us to the outer area of the passage."
Both its structure and the pattern on the door panel indicate that this is an airtight room. Just as a tunnel has an inspection port every few hundred meters, this high-speed train passage will obviously have an inspection window leading to the outside. However, considering that this place is a marginal area, the inspection ports are made into the form of airtight rooms, so that users can enter and exit unaffected when exposed to the outside world.
It doesn't even have a key, only a simple artificial valve.
"You all wait outside." Xia Fan said, "Let me go in alone."
This must be tested first to ensure that the airtight room can still function normally.
Li stepped forward, "But-"
"The more people come in, the more trouble it will be to deal with." Xia Fan interrupted her, "Don't worry, I will only stay in this room and not go anywhere. Once the risks are eliminated, I will naturally open the door to let you in. And if there is a problem, staying outside can quickly rescue me."
Li slowly retracted his steps.
"Don't be afraid, it only takes about a quarter of an hour." Xia Fan walked into the room and closed the heavy gate.
The Venerable Shengtian, who witnessed all this, felt a pimple on his back.
Who is he?
Why does he seem so familiar with this place, as if he has been here many times?
