Chapter 48 The Underworld of the Underworld
When I heard the reminder, I felt a strong wind blowing by. The enemy was obviously quite big, and based on the feeling of the air flow, it seemed that the enemy was biting me with his mouth. I rushed forward quickly and returned to the cave. There was a bang from behind, and the rock at the entrance of the cave was bitten by something. I only felt my feet loosen, and my whole body rolled out.
"I caught you." Yeyue's tail caught me falling into the air.
"Pull me up quickly." I was just seeing Izumi's big mouth with red light rushing towards me. If it were later, I would be bitten in!
Yeyue threw me out with a strong shake: "Master, be careful." After saying that, she retracted into the hole. The big mouth didn't seem to be very flexible, so it bit into the entrance of the hole, and the passage became shorter again. I spread my wings in the air and turned half a circle before stopping.
"What the hell?" After I calmed down, I noticed that the thing that attacked us was so big. If you imagine the dragon as a small gecko with wings, then this thing is almost a five-meter-long python, so you can imagine how big it is. However, this is no ordinary python, but a flaming snake. The so-called flaming snake is a snake composed of rocks and flames. It is similar to the flame giant, except that the flaming snake looks like a snake.
The flaming snake that attacked us was bigger than we imagined, and the black flames came out from the cracks in the rocks on his body. It looked like a block of magma that was about to solidify. It was very ferocious. .
"Maybe we should consider using larger creatures to deal with him." Yeyue shouted to me.
"It's not like you don't know that none of us are older than him. Oh, no!" Just with such a shout, Yan Snake's attention shifted to me again. I quickly flew backwards, but suddenly I felt something approaching from behind. I quickly retracted my wings and suddenly dropped a lot.
A huge jaw flew past my head. Then he collided with the flame snake that rushed forward.
"Another one?" I summoned Ye Ying and rode up. He was much faster than me. We backed away a long way and then walked around to the entrance of the cave. After taking back Yeying, I went back into the cave and put away the other magic pets, leaving only Yeyue, the princess, and the princess' elf Luna.
The two giant pythons outside were entangled and biting each other. The sound was like thunder near the ears, making people's hearts beat with them. The war between giant beasts is like tearing down a house. The surrounding rocks continued to crack as if being hit by cannonballs, and large pieces of rock fell downwards.
The two snakes originally relied on their bodies to wrap around a large stalactite and hang upside down on the roof of the cave in the underground space. However, during the battle, the stalactites were constantly broken. At this rate, they would soon be Will fall. No matter whether we fall to death or not, we are saved anyway. All we have to do is wait.
Yeyue suddenly patted me: "What's the sound?"
"What is that sound? There are noises everywhere!"
"Don't you feel it?"
"What does it feel like?"
"We are also shaking here." Yeyue reminded me.
I closed my eyes and felt it for a moment, then suddenly realized something was wrong. "Too bad luck, run back!"
I shouted a little late. The passage we were standing on and a large section of rock above fell off from the roof of the cave. A crack instantly separated us from the ceiling of the underground world, and then I felt the feeling of weightlessness.
"Get out quickly, we will fall to death in here." cried the princess.
"You guys go back to Fenglong Space first, I'll go out." Take back the magic pet. I quickly climbed out of the tunnel. Summoning Ye Ying and riding up, Ye Ying kicked on the fallen rock. We immediately left the falling rock, but we still maintained our falling posture. I always have to go down there and take a look at the environment!
The ground was very far away from us, and it took us a long time before we could see the ground. In other words, the gap between the ceiling of this underground world and the ground was beyond imagination. I've always felt weird. It stands to reason that if there is a cavity under the surface of the planet, then the upper part should be supported by some kind of force. There are generally three categories of forces that can accomplish this kind of thing. The simplest is the direct support of a solid material, such as a pillar or wall. But the span of this underground space is too large. If it is supported by these things, the hardness of the ceiling will definitely not be able to hold it up. It will collapse. The second type of support should be buoyancy. The earth's surface crust relies on the buoyancy of magma to float. But this kind of power requires mobility. And the material with a large specific gravity holds up the earth's crust. But I am now in this underground world, which is not supported by any high-density matter at all, and is surrounded by gas. If this is a sealed space, then it is not completely impossible to rely on the tension of the gas to support the upper ground. But the actual situation is not like this. We didn't encounter any changes in air pressure when we dug the hole down, so it's impossible for the gas to be supporting the ceiling. Otherwise, the moment we drilled through, the air pressure would have blown us all out of the hole, and the ground above would have also blown us out. Fall down.
Rule out two possibilities. The third type of power is force field. But I want to find out whether it is the force field that is supporting the ceiling. This is more troublesome. This is a game world, and the possibility of systematic fictional laws and rules being involved does not rule out the possibility. Therefore, it is possible that this ceiling is supported by magic power. Just thinking about it is not very likely. After all, no fool would spend so much magic power to support the ground. After all, it makes no sense. If it weren't for magic power, the remaining power would be difficult to determine. But there is a kind of power that is more likely.
I reopened the Phoenix Dragon Space, and then said to Yeyue who was standing at the door: "Help me find an iron product. I want to do an experiment."
"What did you find?" Yeyue took a shovel from Ling behind and handed it out. However, as soon as the shovel head came out of Fenglong's space, it sank suddenly, and Yeyue almost missed it. "What happened?"
I smiled: "No need to give it to me, just take it in. It seems I guessed it right."
"What did you guess?"
"I was just thinking about how this underground space was formed. Now it seems that it was formed by magnetism. Remember the iron plate we punched through before? That thing is actually highly magnetized, and its magnetic poles are the same as here. The magnetic poles of the earth's surface are exactly opposite, so the entire crust of the planet is actually floating on the real core of the planet, without any contact at all."
After hearing what I said, Ling followed up and said, "No wonder there is no life on the surface of this planet."
Yeyue turned around and asked Ling: "Does this matter?"
"Of course there is." Ling explained: "Because the entire earth's crust is floating on the real land like a city in the sky. Therefore, the surface cannot store water. The underground space is formed by magnetic repulsion, but there will definitely be water on the iron plate. There are many holes in the head, so water will flow underneath. If a planet does not have water, it is unlikely to have life, at least there will not be carbon-based life. So all the creatures here are concentrated in the underground world where there is water, and It's not a desert-like surface. The red desert on the surface was probably originally part of the iron plate, but later turned into a red iron oxide desert. In this way, this planet might have had it before. What a major event. Because the current environment does not look like a natural place."
"The thing down there doesn't look like it was formed naturally." Yeyue said, pointing below us.
I looked down and saw a pile of rocks below, but I could roughly tell from the shape that these were the remains of the two snakes. They fell from such a high place, and they were stone creatures, so they fell hard to the ground, and now they looked like just a pile of debris. But we found two strange things in it. Based on the distribution of the gravel, it can be judged that these two things were originally in the snake's head, but now that the snake's head has been shattered, these two things fell out.
This is something with a fairly regular appearance. It looks like a football with a hoop in the middle. Of course, it was much larger, almost as big as two elephants. Most of the surface of this thing is black, and its texture is very much like pure silicon. There are also some green lines among these black colors, and these lines crisscross very regularly. Divide the black silicon crystal surface into many regular areas. These green substances are luminous, feel like glass, and are warm.
We all went down to the ground. Ling circled around this thing several times. "Don't you think this thing looks familiar?"
Everett floated in mid-air and said: "It looks very much like my mechanical core."
"Don't tell me those two snakes are mechanical creatures!"
Everett shook his head. "Obviously that's impossible. It's almost enough to say that they are golems. Mechanical creatures must have power devices. Such creatures that are driven purely by magic are not mechanical creatures. And this thing just looks like a mechanical core. Is it true? Still to be determined!”
"At least I know this thing should be valuable." I knocked and then said to Yeyue and the others: "Move it in and give it to Norin to study when you get back."
"Wait a minute." The princess suddenly shouted. "You all come here and take a look. There is a number here, and it's still moving!"
"Numbers?" After I walked over, I saw the princess lying on the ground pointing to the bottom of the thing for us to see. I walked over and lay down, and then I noticed that there was a crystal block like a display underneath, and there was a series of numbers on it that were beating rapidly. "Oh, God!" I jumped up from the ground, lifted the princess up and put it on my shoulders, and then shouted: "Quickly enter the space door."
The gate of the earth was summoned by me. Then everyone was shoved in by me shouting and throwing, and I jumped in myself. After I closed the space door, the number on the display crystal under the huge object finally jumped to zero, and then there was a beeping sound. The dark underground world suddenly became brighter, and then the terrifying storm spread crazily around. That damn thing was actually a bomb, and the prerequisite for its detonation was the death of the snake carrying the bomb.
By the time we came out of the Gate of the Earth, the place had returned to calm, but the ground had turned into a very flat iron plate. The heat of the explosion apparently melted the iron-rich ground into molten iron, and after cooling, it formed a flat iron block. We are standing on this iron block now. Not even the remains of the two snakes from before were left.
"This weird place!" I sighed.
Ling said beside me: "Actually, I think this explains the problem here. They are just two flame snakes. Although they are not universal creatures, at least they are not rare. They are just a little bigger. Ordinarily, this kind of thing should be nothing. It has reference value, but someone has installed such a powerful bomb on it. The goal is obviously to prevent others from getting the body of this thing. In other words, the other party has some intention of not having three hundred taels of silver here, and it is obviously too much. "
"You mean, what's the secret behind these two snakes?"
"You can't say that." Everett floated out of the space door and said: "Maybe we got the wrong direction. The bomb is not necessarily used to destroy the snake body, it may be specifically used to destroy the man-made object. If it was really my father’s work, it would probably have such a setting.”
Hearing what Everett said, I immediately looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean? Could it be...?"
Everett nodded. "Yes, I also have a self-destruction device on me. If it detonates, it can blow up everything within a radius of 130 kilometers, but I will also disappear completely. Don't even think about resurrection and repair!"
"Good guy. You're a walking atom bomb!"
"I'm nothing." Everett said the words so easily that I almost fainted. "The one on Noreen is the biggest. She can gather her own energy to detonate the holy magic crystal in her body, and then everything within a radius of three hundred kilometers will be destroyed."
"Oh my god! I put a human-shaped nuclear bomb in my home!" I quickly activated the ring of love to contact Rose. "Wife."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Essinger is in trouble now. I just heard from Everett that Noreen has a self-destruction device on her body, which can self-destruct under special circumstances, and its power is equivalent to a nuclear bomb. Send her to Steel immediately Over there in the city, and then build a research institute for her, separated from other facilities. If something goes wrong and my Essinger blows up, it will be over!"
"Don't worry, since it's a self-destruction device, it shouldn't be activated unless absolutely necessary. But what you said makes sense, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case! I will make arrangements."
After cutting off the communication, I quickly got up and said to Everett: "Where is your core? Let me see where the self-destruction device is. I want to remove it."
"It's useless. The self-destruction core is our power core. If you dismantle it, I'll be finished."
"Then if you are attacked by others and hit this core, will you explode?"
"No. The detonation core will explode only if I gather energy through my own will to rebound the core. Being hit by an external force will not cause an explosion."
"That's okay. You should be careful in the future. It will be activated no matter what the situation is. Now you go back to Fenglong Space. I want to find if there is any exit here. I have to find a way to return to Earth."
"Why not go through the space gate?" Ling suggested: "Last time in RB, the exit of the space gate was sealed. We ran from the passage of the Mother of the Earth to the Temple of the Earth Mother in Europe, and then teleported all the way back to China. . Since we can open the space door now, we can definitely take the same path back, right?"
"No, I want to take a look at the situation here. Anyway, I have to come here sooner or later. It's better to see it all at once."
After taking back the magic pet, I rode on Ye Ying alone and randomly chose a direction and started running. I can't find any sense of direction in this place. This underground world is full of magnetic fields, and the compass is simply a decoration. Don’t even think about the methods on earth for identifying the sun by looking at the stars. The big iron plate above my head blocked everything, and I couldn’t see the sky at all. As for reference, it's not easy to find. Although each of the stones on the ground is different, under people's attention, they are actually not very different. Irregular changes cannot be remembered, so we cannot use stones to identify the direction.
Strange to say. We met so many monsters on the surface, but we couldn't see them when we arrived at their lair! I rode Yeying for more than an hour but didn't see anything. Except rocks are rocks.
Running. Suddenly there was a bright light ahead. This underground world has always been dark, and I have been walking with dark vision. So I didn't pay much attention to these, but the sudden light was still very eye-catching.
The light is emitted from under the ground, shooting straight upward like a beam of light. I carefully approached and discovered that there was a hole in the ground, and the light came from the hole. I first sent out darts to explore the path, and then I walked in after confirming it was safe. It turns out that there is actually a layer of underground caves under this underground world, and the height of this underground cave is much lower, only fifty meters at most, and rock pillars supporting the ceiling can be seen everywhere. But it's worth mentioning that the light here comes from all the rocks. The ground and ceiling here will glow, and the brightness is quite good, but the orange-red monotonous light is a little uncomfortable.
I was walking when suddenly a hand put on my shoulder. My whole body froze instantly.
