Chapter 890 Under the Crack
Sol asked Ann to continue her collecting journey, then turned into a feather and floated underground.
He did not adopt a faster sinking method because the concept of a bottomless pit mentioned by An and the large amount of inert black powder in the soil made Sol act cautiously.
An feathering technique consumes almost no magic power to maintain.
After falling about a hundred meters, Thor found that the crack had not narrowed, and was about the same width as the crack he saw when he first fell to the ground.
After falling another hundred meters, he found the remains of half a white-bone monster in the soil nearby, and then directed Xiao Zao to chew out the bones embedded in the cracks in the rocks.
Xiaozao liked this job very much and found the joy of finding treasures in it, so he searched carefully in the cliffs on both sides without Thor's instructions.
Because Thor didn't descend quickly and Xiaozao's mouth was very sharp, he soon chewed out a few more remains of the bone monster.
It's just that Sol soon lost the energy to pay attention to Xiaozao's movements.
After descending another five hundred meters, a feeling of heart palpitations suddenly entered his brain.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at his feet.
It's still pitch black below, and the sunlight above doesn't reach it at all. And Thor's mental power still can't find the end.
Just like what An said, this place seems to be a bottomless crack, and the only thing that can be obtained by continuing to fall is to continue to fall.
"Why did such a deep gap suddenly appear here? Was it once attacked by a fourth-level wizard, or was it due to other reasons?"
Thor has already made some guesses in his mind as to what kind of world Chaos Realm is and what continent it belongs to.
He suspected that this might be the unlucky continent that was directly swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that this place is filled with the black tide pollution from up and down the continent - even though it has been inert and turned into black powder.
If Chaos Territory is just a continent, then its area is limited and its depth should also be limited.
If this bottomless crack really runs through the entire continent, what is underneath the continent?
And what does this new space represent? Why do Sander's ancestors have the key to this place?
Out of caution about the black tide, Thor has never deliberately explored the truth of the entire Chaos Territory. But now he needs more bone monsters to counter Frim's strength. Now that he has found this crack, he naturally wants to try to explore it.
Thor continued his descent, not knowing how far he had fallen.
Because of the darkness and the lack of contrasting objects around, the concepts of time and space began to blur.
Sol didn't know how long he had been descending, but suddenly the soles of his feet seemed to have stepped on something.
But in his mental perception, there should be nothing here.
The body feels that it has reached the bottom, but the mind does not think so.
Should we continue to decline?
Thor didn't hesitate, he chose to continue.
Because there is nothing here except some bones and remains, it is no longer that important compared to the secret of this rift.
He stepped on the sole of his foot a little harder, and then... didn't move.
He uses his magic to try and explore the bottom.
Just like in the Lost Corridor, the magic was absorbed and disappeared.
"The materials of the Lost Corridor are the same as here? Or are they from the same source?"
Thor stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground casually.
Although it is dark here, and although it has descended very deep, it is still a chaotic area, with no enemies around, and elemental particles floating lazily in the air.
On the contrary, it forms a quiet and safe dark room.
This dark room is great for meditation and contemplation.
"The magic power will be absorbed and the spiritual power can penetrate. So if you use the out-of-body method, you should theoretically be able to pass through this barrier."
But Saul was in no hurry to try.
"After all, this place is full of black tide pollution. Even if it is inert, it cannot be treated casually. It is not appropriate to have the soul leave the body here. Let's test it first."
Thor thought that he had used the thread of fate to pass through the right-angled gap between the two corridors in the Lost Corridor, and found Stuart secretly imprisoned by Flim inside.
Maybe a gap can be found here for the thread of fate to pass through.
This time, Thor carefully considered the feasibility of the plan and felt that he could give it a try. Moreover, the fate line runs faster than the soul body, and can be evacuated in time when encountering danger.
Thor reached out his hand in the darkness and gently pressed it on the ground where he sat cross-legged.
This ground is smooth and flat, unlike the earth, and even stone bricks cannot be this smooth.
It's like a layer of glass, or a layer of plastic film.
Thor tried to tap this membrane with the thread of fate. Then I felt a sensation as if I were tapping the glass with my fingers.
He exerted a little force, but the fate line had not penetrated through.
"If it were a complete barrier, my current destiny line might not be able to break through. Is there no gap?"
Sol found countless fate lines in the palms of his hands, spreading around the gap, and soon filled the ten-meter-wide space.
"The black powder here will somewhat block the range of mental detection. If we explore further, the consumption will be greater." Thor stood up and decided to measure the bottom of the crack with his feet.
The bottom layer of the crack is not a cone, it is still a long crack, and even the width is the same as the upper surface.
This confirmed Saul's initial thoughts: this was a completely disconnected "biscuit" trying to get closer to the gap left behind.
Compared to the width of the entire continent, this crack, which is less than five meters wide, is really like the gap left in the middle when the two halves of the biscuit are put back together.
The membrane underneath the land is a bit like... the glue used to stick biscuits!
"It's better to be cautious and don't tear the glue apart and cause problems in Chaos Territory again."
Considering the stability of the continent of Chaos, Thor did not try to use violence to break the membrane on the soles of his feet. Instead, he walked forward in one direction, while constantly testing the bottom with the line of fate, looking for possible gaps.
He walked underground for nearly another hour, and just when Thor was thinking about whether to go up and report to An that he was safe before continuing to search, one of his destiny lines suddenly disappeared.
Sol quickly sensed the location of the fate line, and it turned out to be about one meter inside the mountain beside him.
There, there was a small tear in the septum. It's very small, maybe no bigger than the tip of a pin. Only by scanning and testing with almost no blind spots can one be lucky enough to discover this crack.
"This is no less difficult than threading a needle with your eyes closed. Xiaozao, bite it through!"
The crack was pressed by the mountain. Fortunately, it was not too far from Sol, so Xiaozao could easily open a passage.
After opening a channel as thick as a fist, Thor's mental power can scan the state of the crack more clearly.
Just like the smooth diaphragm under his feet, there is also a smooth diaphragm under the mountain, or continent. This compartment may even be spread under the entire Chaotic Continent.
Thor took a deep breath and carefully followed the disappearing fate line with his perception to explore the world beneath the barrier.
Then, his eyes shot open.
After passing through the rift under the rift, he seemed to have come to an endless universe!
Quiet, vast, and the surroundings are indistinguishable from each other... The stars are twinkling.
