Chapter 52: Inside the Stone Gate
"Oh, look at that river—" Wang Lei suddenly turned his head, looked at the underground river behind him, and couldn't help but scream.
The crowd hurriedly turned around and looked towards the underground river they had just crossed.
In the darkness in the distance, everyone could see very clearly, and in the depths of this underground river, a fiery red light appeared, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
The fiery red light at the bottom of the river continued to spread, spreading more and more widely, and white steam appeared on the surface of the river, and gradually, the river began to boil.
Xiao Ling poured a breath of cold air in his mouth and said, "This is ......"
"Magma!" Yu Tingting suddenly screamed.
Hu Shengzhe said: "Yes, the shaking just now, it was the riverbed that cracked, and magma began to pour upward. It seems that the water is corroding faster than I imagined, and it has encountered the underground magma, which has triggered a large-scale riot of magma, and some fragile places of the rock formation cannot withstand the power of this magma explosion, and they begin to crumble and collapse, and they are in trouble. ”
As soon as he said this, the whole underground river boiled completely, and the crimson magma surged out from the cracked riverbed, and the heat boiled the river, giving rise to a large amount of white steam, which enveloped the large area and turned into billowing white mist.
Everyone looked at this sudden scene, and they were all shocked, and Zhou Kesheng let out a loud shout: "Quickly push open the stone door-"
There was almost no need for him to shout, Xiao Ling followed Liu Guangsheng, Qin Yang and others, and had already rushed to the stone gate, used all his strength, and began to push the stone gate.
In a short period of time, terrifying magma gushed out from the ground, evaporating the water of the underground river, and the power of the magma explosion tore through the rock formations below, turning the underground cave into purgatory-like horror in an instant.
The temperature of the cavern is rising, and the forces of nature from the terrifying magma eruption could tear this underground rock layer apart at any time, and then the endless magma can swallow and drown everything here, and everyone will be spared.
Now the only way for everyone to survive is to push open the stone gate, hoping that there is another way to escape from the stone gate, and in addition to begging that the underground rock formations in this area are strong enough to resist this round of magma explosion, so that they will not be so fragile and easily destroyed.
Xiao Ling and the others shouted loudly, and the eight of them pushed the stone gate together.
This stone gate looks thick and tall, but the weight is not as heavy as everyone imagined, everyone pushed together, and the stone door was slowly pushed open in the sound of "rumbling".
Behind, the magma had risen up, tearing through the darkness and turning the dark world into a fiery purgatory, completely evaporating the underground river water in this area.
Suddenly the ground shook again, this time the shaking became violent, and in this shaking of the ground, new cracks gradually appeared, and the cracks at the bottom of the riverbed became larger, and suddenly a large amount of magma ejected from the bottom.
Xiao Ling turned his head, gasped, and watched the cracks in the riverbed in the distance behind him getting bigger and bigger in the violent vibration, and a large amount of magma was like a fountain, spraying into the rock formation above, like thousands of fireworks spraying at the same time, hitting the rock layer above, making a huge sound, and then constantly shooting and falling in all directions.
The mushroom rock pillars were hit by the fiery red magma falling, making a sizzling sound, and the entire karst cave shook like the end of the world before the end of the world.
Everyone felt the heat wave coming from behind, and their hair couldn't stand the heat, and immediately withered and curled.
"Let's go-" Zhou Kesheng let out a roar, the stone door in front of him had already opened a crack half a meter wide, he didn't care about any danger inside, and was the first to squeeze in through this crack.
The stone door opened wider and wider, and everyone squeezed in as if they were desperate.
Behind everyone, the surging fiery red magma had already flooded the riverbank, like a rolling fiery red wave, flooding towards the mushroom rock pillar and the stone carvings of the demon gods.
Everyone rushed into the stone gate, turned around and roared wildly, and closed the stone gate again, no one knew if this stone gate could stop the surging magma, nor did they know what the scene was inside the stone gate, but now they had no choice but to hope that this stone gate could block the power of the magma explosion.
Inside the stone gate, there was a cloud of darkness, everyone listened to the loud bang, knowing that the stone gate was closed again, Xiao Ling thought of lifting the camping lantern and observing the scenery inside the stone gate.
With the help of the light emitted by the camping lantern, everyone clearly saw that inside the stone gate was a huge rock passage, the diameter of the passage was about ten meters, almost circular, and the rocks on the four walls of the passage were piled up, with signs of artificial construction, extending all the way, and finally disappearing into the darkness.
There was a look of surprise on everyone's faces.
This kind of huge circular passage made of a large number of rocks is a fairly advanced process, is the giant passage in this stone gate and the stone gate carved with the representative of the Pisces jade pendant from the same source?
Maybe this rock passage is built very steadily, or maybe the rock formation in the ground is hard enough that the shaking inside is not violent, but everyone does not dare to stop, although this stone gate looks heavy, but no one knows if it can withstand the magma that is about to flood.
"Let's go." Zhou Kesheng snorted, Xiao Ling carried the camping lamp, Liu Guangsheng took the searchlight to open the way, and everyone rushed towards the depths of the giant rock passage.
Now it is not only necessary to find the Pisces Jade Pendant, but also to stay as far away from the magma eruption area as possible and safer, the way to come has been completely destroyed, and everyone has gone deep into this underground world of at least three thousand meters underground, and if they want to survive, they must find another way out.
This rock passage is deep and wide, not a straight line, but a curved change, there is only one road in front of them, and everyone has no choice but to run along this rock passage.
Xiao Ling approached Zhou Kesheng and said as he ran: "Dean Zhou, you once saw the Pisces Jade Pendant back then, is the situation the same as here now?" At the end of this passage is the Pisces jade pendant? ”
Zhou Kesheng shook his head and said: "It's not exactly the same, I said it, the Pisces Jade Pendant is not what you imagined, it is not a fixed device." ”
Xiao Ling was about to ask again, but suddenly closed his mouth, and Liu Guangsheng and Qin Yang, who were opening the way in front of him, also stopped.
The rocky passage had come to an end, and in front of it was a vast space, shrouded in endless darkness that could not be swept away even by the intense beam of the searchlight.
In front of the passage, there is a cliff abyss, bottomless, and countless multicolored mushrooms are piled up in front of everyone, forming a canopy with no edge in sight, and the canopy is formed by countless branches covered by multicolored mushrooms, layer upon layer.
"Undead mushrooms, undead trees—"
Finally, everyone came back to their senses and screamed almost at the same time.
