Chapter 365: Good News and Bad News
"The earthquake caused by the mechanism?" said Fawkes, his face darkened.
"Mr. Wood, can you make it stop?" Vanessa, who was trapped in the trap, felt that if she continued to shake, her life would be over sooner or later.
"It has nothing to do with the mechanism, and it is impossible for the mechanism here to cause such a big earthquake! However, I can disarm the mechanism and rescue you!" Of course, Lin Dong couldn't say that it was because of the shock caused by taking away the Demon Refining Pagoda and the disappearance of the sealing array. In fact, Lin Dong really didn't think that his small stretch of hand would cause such a loud noise underground.
Lin Dong quickly lifted the trap.
However, after escaping, Fox and Vanessa are not happy.
The shaking of the ground became more and more violent, and finally it became a little difficult for people to stand firmly on the ground.
Fortunately, the construction of the ruined palace was unusually strong, and there was no large-scale collapse, otherwise everyone would have been buried alive!
"Where should we go?" Philip ran out of ideas, and went back the way he came, it was the Dark River, there might be room for maneuver if there was a collapse, but moving forward was the right path. It is not possible to continue to move forward, God knows how far there is an underground passage, and in case of collapse, there is a great chance of being buried alive.
Now we are in a dilemma.
Rao He has a firm mind and has experienced people, and he doesn't know what to do.
Lin Dong sighed slightly: "Let's meet Josiah and the griffin first, I don't think it's the best choice to go forward or backward, although this ruined palace is dilapidated, but it is actually extremely solid, I think it may be safer to stay here than to walk around." ”
"Yes, let's stay first. Wait for the earthquake to subside a little before finding a way!" Fawkes nodded in agreement.
As for the female soldier Vanessa, when she heard Lin Dong say that the palace was safe. Immediately rushed out.
Josiah and the others were in a hurry.
As soon as I saw her coming, I knew that the mechanism had been eliminated. Hurry up and catch up.
Vanessa didn't care about hugging her companion to celebrate her escape, and shouted repeatedly: "Quick, Mr. Wood said that it is safe in the palace, come here!"
Josiah and Little Eric heard this, and what were they waiting for, they hurriedly rushed into the ruined palace that had been heavily organized. The griffin took the lead, and when he saw Lin Dong, he shouted happily: "Lord Celestial, did you cause this earthquake?
Lin Dong sweated wildly.
He won't admit this if he kills him.
Quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "I don't have that much ability, earthquakes are natural phenomena." I didn't make it out! There are mechanisms in this ruined palace, but the mechanisms are only effective here, and it is impossible to transmit power to the depths of the earth, let alone cause an earthquake! Everyone came to the center of the main hall, although this palace has been abandoned for a long time, it is built very strongly, and it should be able to support it!"
"Everyone be careful, remind each other when you see the collapse!" Josiah didn't think that Lin Dong could cause an earthquake, and only sighed in his heart that he was unlucky. Came in so many times without earthquakes. However, in the most dangerous earthquake now, it seems that this underground journey is really a bit more auspicious.
"There's little monsters!" little Eric noticed that a dozen little monsters who were frightened by the earthquake rushed through the passage.
"Die!" the griffin was scared enough to see that it was not just a small unit. Immediately rushed over and knocked out all these little monsters with great skill.
It's different from the little monsters.
The long-legged spiders on the other side have a keen sense of energy, especially the house-sized giant spider. As soon as Lin Dong entered the sealing space just now, he took the Demon Refining Pagoda, and the little energy aura that emanated. It senses it. It was faster than the arrow it fired, and it fled the passage at breakneck speed. When the earthquake struck, it almost escaped from the cliffs where the stone bridges were connected.
The earthquake became more and more intense.
The whole world was shaking, and the crazy vibration, the shock wave and infrasonic wave brought by it, made the people feel dizzy and nauseous, and they could not stand steadily. Stronger than Josiah, he couldn't stand naturally. He told the genetic soldiers to put their guns down and crouch on the ground, holding their backpacks in both hands, to protect their heads as much as possible from the debris from the dome. At first, the soldiers were able to do the same, but soon, the shaking of the ground intensified tenfold, and it felt as if the whole world was about to fall apart, and the soldiers had to curl their bodies as much as they could, protecting themselves from the dense rain of rubble.
The shaking dust was thicker than the smoke.
The stone flakes peeling off from the palace were larger than the other, and sometimes the ceiling of most of the dome fell down, making the palace floor rumble.
In the ruined palace, he soon lost his fingers, but fortunately, Lin Dong kept holding a flashlight to bring a little light to everyone. Although people can only barely sense a weak invisible spot of light shaking wildly, it is not here and there, but this inextinguishable light has become the belief that everyone supports.
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
The sky is falling apart.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Maybe only for a few minutes, but the people who survived felt like a century had passed.
Aftershocks come from time to time, and in the distant passage, occasionally a bang is heard, and I don't know if something has collapsed. The survivors rose from the mud and dust, and they looked even more wolf than the savages. Even Lin Dong was a little disgraced, his head was covered with dust, and as for the griffins and the others, even beggars and refugees would dislike that dignity when they saw it, and they were all injured, even the mighty Philip was no exception.
Fox had a slight injury to the corner of her forehead, and she was already the best one.
Because she is smart, she has been hiding under Lin Dong, holding his thighs with both hands, Lin Dong protects herself invisibly while protecting herself.
Vanessa and a few female soldiers hugged each other, they didn't move for a long time, little Eric almost thought they were all hanging, but he didn't expect to go up and touch, several female soldiers actually looked up from the mud one after another......
They were almost buried alive, but after digging it out, they barely recovered after a few sips of water.
The four remaining genetic soldiers are also alive.
One unlucky guy had a sharp stone shard cut off an ear, blood staining most of his body, and another guy had broken an arm.
"Man, you're so lucky that your head is all right when your head blooms!" Big Ivan's head made a big hole in the rubble. Fox thought this guy was going to die, but Lin Dong gave him a few clicks. After hastily bandaging it again, Big Ivan, whose eyes were rolling, came back to life. The griffin can't bear to be in the earthquake. He grabbed Lin Dong's hand and shouted: "Point acupoint! This must be your oriental point point magic skill! Wow, it's amazing, can I learn this? I can pay the tuition, and there is no problem with how much money you have! You just clicked on the point point, which stimulated his vitality, right? Sure enough, there is a bit of acupoint magic skill, Lord Tianshen, you are hiding it too secretly, this is the first time I have seen it!"
"Acupoint Divine Skill?" Big Ivan wanted to struggle despite his half-dead existence: "Can this genetic soldier learn it? I just felt like I was about to go to heaven, and I was fluttering all over, but I didn't expect that the whole feeling would come back as soon as I felt a pain in my body!"
"You can't go to heaven, if you die, you will definitely go to hell!" said the griffon.
"Leave heaven and hell alone now, okay? we're miserable enough now, and now this is hell, okay?" Big Ivan rolled his eyes.
"No, it's actually a very safe place compared to another place. Although this place is not as beautiful as heaven, it is too far from hell!" "Griffon Jue, this underground world is also a monster and an earthquake is terrifying, but compared to the underground palace under the Longkou Mine, it is completely pediatric. There's hell in there. Any kind of monster is enough to make people die without a place to be buried.
"Okay, you've won, let's get back to the point magic, okay?" Big Ivan didn't have the strength to argue with the griffin. He had never entered the underground palace under the Longkou Mine Cave, and he didn't know the secrets below.
"Don't discuss anything now. It's time to rest!" Fox snorted, "I don't know if I'll be able to get back to the ground alive!"
"Surely, just follow the Celestial-sama!" the griffin was not worried at all.
"Your brain is full of pig food, right?" Fox was speechless.
"So smart for what. Haven't you heard, the too smart people in the world always die faster!" said the griffon, saying that this was the guarantee of longevity, and when he said this, everyone was speechless.
Rested for an hour amid repeated aftershocks.
Josiah leaned over and discussed with Lin Dong: "If the passage back collapses, is there any other passage in this abandoned palace?"
Lin Dong shook his head: "No! And I have not very good news, the passage we took may not be the middle passage that we have explored before." Because the reliefs here point to another place, and not the palace of shells and jewels. I don't know if it will form a loop underground, but even if there is, it's a very long distance. At the same time, I don't guarantee that this loopback will always be unobstructed. Earthquakes will change a lot of terrain, and we need to prepare for the worst!"
Josiah listened and nodded.
In fact, long before asking, he had planned for the worst, just hoping to hear a little surprise in Lin Dong's mouth.
Lin Dong said this completely within his guess, as for the bad news, as early as when his deserters came back to report, Josiah realized that he might have taken the wrong way and made the wrong way home.
"Ahem, Mr. Wood, I took someone to check the passage in the direction we entered, and many small monsters who couldn't escape were stoned to death inside, and it seems that they didn't know the earthquake was coming. The most serious thing is that the passage is some distance so that the collapsed boulder is completely blocked, and we may not be able to get through it in a short time!"
"Then let's move forward! We only have one way now!" Lin Dong dug out his backpack and flashlight from the dirt.
Everyone rummaged through their bags.
Unfortunately, less than a third of the people found their backpacks, and most of them were either crushed in the countless gravel and dirt and could not be found, or they were nowhere to be found.
Time is limited, everyone followed Lin Dong on the road, Vanessa didn't find her backpack, but found a flashlight who I don't know, got together, and lit the road in front.
Walked around a few corners, around the cramped section that had collapsed.
Finally, I walked to the stone bridge again.
But.
Because of the earthquake, the natural stone bridge that used to support the two cliffs has long since disappeared without a trace.
The most shocking thing is not the disappearance of the stone bridge, but when Lin Dong shines forward with a flashlight, he finds that there is nothing left in the space a few hundred meters in front of him. When I looked up again, I found that there was a ray of light on the top of the extremely high ceiling. Josiah hurriedly took out the binoculars from his backpack, looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Stars, I saw the stars, my God, the earthquake pierced the ground with a big hole, ah no, it's not a hole, it's a damn canyon!"
"That's great news!" Josiah's words made everyone cheer.
"I also saw countless monsters, heading towards the ground, including the house-sized giant spider you saw earlier!" Josiah used his telescope to find that at the mouth of the canyon formed by the collapse, there were countless monsters, all kinds of giant rats and unknown monsters, heading towards the surface like a tide, and the deserter and the super giant spider that Big Ivan had mentioned earlier, he also saw it.
"Ah, you're saying we have to climb the rock wall with these monsters to compete for the speed of escaping from the ground?" Big Ivan struck a sudden moment in his heart: "There are so many monsters that have come out of the ground, if you Uncle Sam can't control it, you won't throw a nuclear bomb here, right?"
"In that case, it's worse than shit!" exclaimed the griffon.
"Looks like we're going to leave as much as we can!" Josiah's own face was ugly, it wasn't necessary to throw a nuclear bomb, but it was extremely likely to throw a heavy bomb.
Underground.
No matter what is thrown on it, it will not feel good. (To be continued......)
