Chapter 1142 The Light of Destruction

Gordon was originally worried that it would be difficult to drive the airship into the seaside cave, and even risky.

But when he actually saw the cave, he knew that he was overthinking.

He had never seen a cave of such an amazing scale. The height of the cave roof at the entrance was more than 200 meters, and the width was even greater.

Such a cave entrance, let alone the cargo airship they were on, even a giant airship like the Dragon Knowledge Ship could drive in with its eyes closed.

Perhaps Mr. Mecca's speculation was correct.

This is the real target of the Molten Mountain Dragon, and only a cave of this scale can accommodate its body like a moving mountain and become its "tomb passage" to its final death.

After entering the cave, the airship did not go too deep, and found a relatively flat rocky beach to land and dock.

The hunters got off the airship and assembled in groups according to their respective teams.

In order to save the load and space of the airship, and for the safety of the members, there were almost no editors involved in this mission.

Only Alva, and the two editors of the recommendation group, Apo and Rio, boarded the airship.

Moreover, they would not go with the hunters, but stay on the airship with several scholars from the research base.

Only after the hunters sent a signal to confirm safety or the battle was over, would they enter the earth veins and obtain first-hand research information.

Soon, a total of five full-strength teams consisting of ten upper hunters and ten elite hunters completed the final preparation and inspection.

Feng Ying's fang hound partner Amber was requisitioned. It and Liefeng were carrying heavy ammunition boxes on their bodies and went with the heavy crossbow team.

Without their help in carrying ammunition, the strong firepower support of the diffusion heavy crossbow team could only be used for one round or at most two rounds, which would lose its practical significance.

It is a little regrettable that there were no hunting flute users in this operation. In large-scale operations, the role of hunting flute users is particularly great.

Fortunately, many members were accompanied by hunting cats. There were quite a few hunting cats like Xianglan who mastered motivational instruments and cheering dances, which could make up for this lack.

"Hahaha! Our investigation team has really grown now. We can actually form such a team?" The head of the team crossed his arms and laughed loudly.

When their first group first arrived in the New World, the hunters could only barely put together a small team.

The dragon hunter Mecca also felt emotional.

Many of these people were recruited by him personally across the ocean to the Old World, and now they have become the pillars of the investigation team.

After confirming that each team was fully prepared, Gordon looked at the two old seniors, "Mr. Mecca, I'll trouble you to lead the way next."

"Of course." Mecca chuckled and nodded, "Although we can hardly be called combat-effective now, we are naturally capable of leading the way."

"This time, let the two of us be the editors for you young people, hahaha!" The head of the team laughed again.

"Compared to these, I am more looking forward to seeing you once again armed with sharp weapons and beating monsters with the chef." Gordon said with a smile.

"That won't do. We retired a long time ago!" The Grand Commander shook his lion-like messy hair vigorously, "Now it's the time for you young people!"

Faced with this old guy who was in good condition but chose to retire and "travel" all over the continent, Gordon was a little helpless.

Giving the Grand Commander and Mr. Mecca a look that said "Just be happy", Gordon turned to the hunters and waved, "I've said everything I should say. No more nonsense, let's go!"

The hunters looked at each other and stepped into the entrance of the ground vein that seemed to lead to hell.

"Boom boom!"

The sound of the continuous detonation of the bombs, the roar of the collapse of crystals and rocks, and the sound of the scattered fragments echoed in everyone's ears.

The gently flowing underground streams all had violent ripples.

"It exploded?" Gordon asked Pork Chop.

Pork Chop nodded confidently, "From the sound, it's a success. The road should be open now."

"Let's go!"

The crystal column that originally blocked the passage had been blown down into a mountain of fragments and debris, which were piled up in the passage. It took hands and feet to climb over it, but it was finally possible to pass through.

Looking at the pile of fragments, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, but his nerves were also tense.

If there was something sleeping deep in the earth veins, it should be awakened now.

"Everyone, stay alert!" He shouted to remind them.

The swordsmen pulled down their armors, and the archers loaded their crossbows.

The teams covered each other and quickly passed through this narrow area.

From then on, the corridor became much wider, and the shallow stream that was originally knee-deep was expanded into a dark river that could be navigated.

In order not to get their armor wet, the hunters had to move slowly along the narrow road full of crystals and stalactites on both sides of the dark river.

"It would be great if we could row a boat here." Feng Ying muttered quietly, "It would be so convenient to row along the underground river."

Gordon stared at her through the grille of the mask.

Feng Ying hugged her head reflexively. Seeing that the former had no intention of hitting her, she shrank her neck and made a "shut up" gesture, and continued on her way obediently.

Gordon temporarily retracted his gaze.

The reason why he stared at Feng Ying was not because the latter was deserting.

As early as when Pig Chop detonated the bomb and blew up the crystal column blocking the road, he focused most of his attention on Feng Ying.

If the "light of life" was awakened, Feng Ying, as a resonator, should have reacted at such a close distance, or at least had some sense.

But in fact, nothing happened.

Mecca naturally told him about the previous active resonance, but Gordon did not intend to let Feng Ying try.

The distance between them was too close, and perhaps something unexpected would happen.

Along the way, Gordon's heart was always hanging.

In fact, there were far more people who were worried than Gordon. Hayata, Ansir, Gail, Mecca, and even Ted, their eyes fell on Feng Ying from time to time.

Feng Ying was numb.

Of course, she could guess what everyone was worried about, but she felt that she was in good condition, full of energy, clear thinking, strong limbs, and no problems.

She even wanted to suddenly jump over and say "rua!" to liven up the atmosphere.

But considering the consequences of doing so, she had to give up in disappointment.

After walking for a long time, Gordon, who was at the front, suddenly raised his fist and made a gesture.

Everyone stopped.

Ahead, the corridor of the earth veins suddenly widened, forming a huge cave that was no less large than the previous seaside cave.

On the ground, on the cave walls, and on the cave ceiling, countless crystal pillars emitting silver-white light pierced out of the rock layer like sharp swords, pointing directly to the dazzling white light in the center of the cave.

No one could tell what it was.

An egg? A cocoon? Or a ball of pure light?

Facing it, even the most dull ordinary people could feel that energy, that amazing, terrifying energy that was enough to burn the entire continent.

"This is the place where the earth veins converge." Mecca looked at the light and muttered to himself.

Feng Ying was also looking at it.

Her eyes were flashing with the same silver-blue light.

Is it the reflection of that light? Is it the brilliance from the inside out? Or is it both?

"Absorb. Everything, burn and transform, the world"

Feng Ying suddenly shuddered and forced herself out of the resonance state.

In those few seconds, she felt many things, including the instinctive, simple but terrifying thoughts of "that creature" in front of her.

At this moment, unprecedented panic and murderous intent filled her mind.

She screamed.

"Kill it!! Never let it leave here, it will destroy the world!!!"
