Chapter 731: Areas Never Set Foot In

In Qi's vision, the demon was like a twisted black fog, crawling out from the bottom of the skylight little by little.

If it was in the town, Luo Qingqing could distinguish it with just one glance, but the chaotic air here was everywhere, which had seriously affected her normal vision. Therefore, when the team stopped, she realized that the surging black fog below was a big demon.

"Do you want to do it?" Ning Wanjun said eagerly.

"Of course not!" Gulcha glared, "This is a flooded area, we must be cautious! Once we attract Ravana, we will have no way out! Gather the shock lamps to seal the door, it won't notice us."

The fact is just as the Hun Tian Zun said, the demon was not attracted by the light, but crawled away quickly in the direction away from the light, and finally disappeared in a crack in the well wall.

"Hu..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Fan also realized that sneaking into a city and sneaking into an evil flooded area are completely different experiences. Masking, invisibility cloaks, and hiding in the dark as much as possible are only effective for humans. The evil spirits sense the air, and will not think whether the sudden light is related to living beings. They will only avoid it according to instinct. This allows the air sensers to use magic to shield or cover up their own breath, and they can deceive most evil spirits.

"You have encountered situations like this many times, right?" He asked the Hun Tian Zun.

"Of course." The latter took off the talisman at the door. "If you can't even handle such an accident, the vanguard team would have died long ago. Didn't I say before that the number of people in the exploration is a very sensitive issue. If there are too few, it is difficult to fight against the evil spirits, and if there are too many, it is easy to expose yourself. Considering that personnel must be arranged to stay at each lifting point, three hundred people is a more appropriate scale. As long as we are not too close to the big demon, the risk of us being discovered is still within an acceptable range."

"If we encounter Ravana, can we also use magic to get by?" Li asked curiously.

"Hehe, if it is Mosha who is eyeing the team, you'd better pray that you are the fastest one." Gulcha sneered twice.

"Is there no possibility of fighting? Doesn't it have any weaknesses?"

"It's not that it has no weaknesses, but - that's it. If you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try, but the Salvation Church can't afford to lose so many people." Perhaps because Li's speech was a little unexpected, the burly man's tone was a little more relaxed, "It's good to have courage, but blind courage is arrogance. When you have the opportunity to see the real Mosha, you will naturally understand the gap between it and the big demon."

"Let's go, there are still six floors before we can reach the next lifting point." Venerable Hun Tian said at last.

When they were on the road again, Li couldn't help but pull Li Mengyun's robe, "Have you seen Ravana?"

Venerable Shengtian shook his head, "In the entire exploration record, there are only three mentions of the existence of this evil spirit, and they were all provided by the people who stayed behind at the top lifting point."

"Your Excellency means that none of the vanguard members on the lower level escaped?" Xia Fan also came over and said.

"That's right. We don't even know what it looks like. We can only be sure that there is such an evil spirit between the 76th and 80th floors." She nodded, "The only lucky thing is that it has been entrenched in its own territory all year round and rarely actively participates in harassment. As long as we don't take the initiative to approach the northwest direction, we will basically not provoke it."

Provoke... This word made Xia Fan feel a little sad.

In the outside world, evil spirits are shouting and killing, and the Privy Council will never show mercy in eliminating these mortal enemies of life. But in the courtyard area, people are forced to get used to coexisting with evil spirits, and even have to avoid them.

This trend is really not optimistic.

"Ding."

The protective suit suddenly made a light sound.

Xia Fan turned over his wrist and noticed that the countdown had appeared. This shows that the environment here is no longer suitable for ordinary people to stay for a long time, and the protective suit automatically turned on the circulation system.

However, its estimated operating time is much longer than that of the exposure area, as long as two hours.

"It's the temperature." Luo gently stretched out his hand from the corridor fence, pinching a green leaf that he had found from nowhere. The leaf curled up quickly under the surging airflow, as if it had been dried.

"Put on your helmets!" The voice of the Hun Tian Zun came from the front, "There are signs of unstable geothermal heat, and there may be a gushing air wave. If anyone's protective clothing fails, report to me immediately!"

After walking down for about 20 minutes, the corridor was blocked again, and the team finally arrived at the last lifting point.

"Before the air wave breaks out, install the elevator quickly!"

"Yes!"

The vanguard quickly dispersed, one part was responsible for vigilance, and the other part moved the previously prepared materials from the room and began to temporarily build a lifting device. Compared with the wooden mechanism above, the components prepared here have all been replaced with metal products, and it is obvious that some of them were collected from the ruins of the patio.

The well, which was relatively calm before, has now become agitated. Waves of white mist surged out, making the entire patio dim. But the rapidly rising temperature was not the most troublesome problem. The rolling white fog caused the light and vision in the well to drop sharply. Originally, they could see things a hundred meters away, but now they can only see less than a few dozen meters away. Coupled with the constant rumbling echo in the helmet, the vanguard team's defense range is much smaller than before.

"Is this the lowest level you reached before?" Ning Wanjun asked.

"Absolutely." Gulcha nodded, "The vanguard team has done verification with stones and believes that there are at most twenty floors left at the bottom. It's a pity that we couldn't gather the materials for the elevator last time, and Xiaomo Xiaomei has been there all the time. Attack the team, so we can only choose to evacuate first.”

"Xie Sui will not have any thoughts about Ji. This is the lucky thing about the Salvation Sect." Luo Qingqing said bluntly.

"Little girl, you are right!" Lord Huntian laughed loudly, as if he was completely unaffected by the heat wave outside, "Even if we pile winches and hemp ropes in front of the big demon, it will treat it as nothing. So as long as we risk our lives, the Salvation Cult will always have a chance to move deeper!"

At this point, he looked at Xia Fan, "The path I can guide ends here. No one has reached the area further down. Are you sure that the bottom is really not the bottom of the well, but the so-called gate?"

"Yes, the real bottom of the well is unfathomable." Xia Fan replied word for word. "With such crude lifting equipment, it is almost impossible to reach its core. But I have to admit that you can reach it with both hands. It’s quite rare for your feet to reach this depth.”

Gurcha looked at Xia Fan for a long time, with a rather complicated expression in his eyes. After a long time, he shook his head and couldn't help but chuckle, "Boy, you are really arrogant. We didn't do this just to get your approval."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Then do we have a chance to see the real bottom of the well?"

"I don't know, but I'll try my best."

Gurcha took a deep breath, patted his shoulder, turned around and devoted himself to debugging the elevator.

"His mood is a little low." Luo walked gently to Xia Fan and said, "I can see that the Black Gate Qi in his body has become dim."

"It would be like this for everyone." Yan Qing seemed to feel the same way, "The goal that I have put in countless efforts and worked hard to achieve is actually an illusory one. This is equivalent to negating all the sacrifices I have made in the past, and the gap is huge. It’s conceivable.”

"But he didn't regard this as your mistake." Luo whispered softly, "On the contrary, your words gave them a glimmer of new hope."

Does he choose to believe in himself...

Perhaps the prophecy of the kingdom of heaven itself was a misjudgment, Xia Fan thought to himself, no one knows the answer to what is at the bottom of the well until he actually arrives.

But regardless of whether they appear or not, these people will not stop halfway.

He is far from the only person who pursues the truth of the world.

At least on this road, there are many explorers like him who are moving forward bravely.

They deserve to try their best on their own.

"Both lifts are fully assembled!"

"The rope is intact and the winch rotates normally!"

"Your Majesty, the vanguard can go deeper!"

"Very good!" Gulcha said loudly, "Everyone, let's go!"
