Chapter 288: Spiral Walk
"Water Curtain Cave......"
Early in the morning of the second day, the burning direction did not delay, and Chen Shi and his party came to the bottom of the waterfall, and the passage hidden here was also exposed in front of Chen Shi.
The location of the passage is behind the waterfall, with such a huge curtain of water blocking the view, no one would have thought that there was a cave behind the waterfall.
Passing through the waterfall, this underground cave is quite huge, the width is more than 20 meters, the height is also about 10 meters, the environment is dark and damp, and from time to time there are water droplets falling, forming one pool after another on the ground.
"Be careful, don't fall into those pools, some of which have whirlpools that connect to deeper holes, and if you fall into them, you may not even find the body."
Burning to this sentence suddenly frightened Xingdian and Bingyu, who were curiously looking around, and turned pale, and they didn't dare to look around anymore, and honestly followed behind Chen Shi.
Once you enter the cave, there is not much light, especially the deeper you go into the cave, the less light there is, and in the end, the only oil lamp that burns into your hand is the only source of light in the cave.
Chen Shi was not too afraid, he had the assistance of the Gamma suit, and the dark cave would not hinder his movements much.
The group walked silently, no one spoke, Chen Shi glanced back worriedly at the girl on the back of 1214-B01, the girl who had fallen asleep since yesterday had not woken up yet, and was still asleep.
I don't know if there will be any harm to her body.
It's a pity that in this environment, it's difficult to ensure even your own safety, and how can you have the ability to check the girl's body.
This cave didn't know how deep it was, and their group walked for more than two hours in a row, estimating that they had advanced about ten kilometers, and this distance could return to the gate yesterday.
And at this time, just as Chen Shi was about to ask how long it was, the front burner suddenly spoke: "Everyone, we will go to the spiral road soon." ”
"Spiral walkway?"
"Well, the spiral is the only way to the fourth floor...... At least that's what we found......"
Ran Xiang's tone was solemn: "And the spiral path is also one of the reasons that prevents most adventurers from continuing to go deeper. ”
"You mean...... At risk? Chen Shi was vigilant together.
"Yes, there's a monster we have to watch out for in the spiral path, the Eclipse Bird."
"Guys, come with me."
Ran Xiang seemed to want everyone to see it with their own eyes and explain it again, and as their pace increased further, within ten minutes, their eyes gradually became brighter.
However, this kind of light is compared to the darkness and lack of light in the cave in front, and in fact, this light can only be said to be dim, relatively better.
Everyone present had excellent eyesight, Chen Shi didn't say anything, he had cheating tools, and he saw the light at the exit of the cave at the front at first glance.
"That's?"
When they entered the exit of the cave, they saw a faint red mist, and the source of the light seemed to be heavenly, because the distance was far away, and the intensity of the light had been reduced a lot by the time they reached the ground.
"...... with a diameter between 3 km and 3.5 km"
Chen Shi's eyes swept through, through the faint red mist, and saw the cliff behind the red mist.
The circumferential cliff is more than 3 kilometers in diameter, which makes people who can't see the exact location mistake it for a huge plain, and the mountains are further away.
But the most striking thing is not these, but in the very middle, there is a slender pillar building, which quickly rises from the ground and disappears into the depths of the sky that is dim upward.
"Do you see that spiral column?"
Ran Xiang pointed to the slender pillar building, "That's the only way to the fourth floor." ”
"Shall we go there?"
Chen Shi nodded: "Okay, then let's go." ”
"Wait, don't worry, let me say it again." Ran Xiang hurriedly said, "I know that you have been through a lot all the way from the ninth layer, but from here to the surface, it is a little different...... The spiral walkway differs from the later levels in that it directly connects to the surface. ”
"Directly connected to the surface?"
Chen Shi was surprised: "You mean that this spiral path passed through the fourth layer, and then passed through the third, second, and first layers, and finally reached the surface?" ”
"You're right."
Ran Xiang agreed with Chen Shi's understanding, "So the source of danger can be known to everyone, from the surface to the fourth layer, countless monsters are active in this spiral path, although from here to the fourth layer, only the eclipse bird is active, but it is not excluded that some injured and dying monsters will descend here, in fact, once the death period is approaching, many monsters will choose to go straight to the ground and be devoured by the eclipse bird...... But even when it comes to death, there is no shortage of monsters that are extremely threatening, and if we accidentally encounter them, we will face danger. Secondly, we should also pay attention to high-altitude throwing objects, although the Four Kingdoms have banned throwing garbage into the spiral road, there will always be garbage...... For example, the corpse of an adventurer, believe me, it will not be good to hit you. ”
"The final threat comes from the Eclipse Bird I mentioned earlier, which is a scavenging monster that likes to gnaw on corpses, and is extremely aggressive, active in the spiral path from the ground of the fifth layer to the fourth layer. Although I said that it likes to eat corpses, it will not mind a full meal in the face of living creatures. ”
Speaking of this, Ran Xiang said solemnly: "The point is the threat of the Eclipse Bird, I can't guarantee that you are foolproof, in fact, I can only ensure my own safety, so, when you get here, are you still willing to move on?" It's okay to regret it now. ”
Xingdian and Bingyu looked at Chen Shi, and Chen Shi and 1214-B01 certainly wouldn't flinch, having said that they had encountered a lot of dangers along the way, and Chen Shi wouldn't dare to go over because of the threat he hadn't seen yet.
"We're going to the surface, so we can't back down."
Chen Shi shrugged, "Compared to the enemy who is chasing us, the enemy here is amiable enough. ”
If you make up a lie, you have to tell it all, not to mention that Chen Shi is not a lie, the "divine remains" awaken in the next layer of the realm, and the ghost knows if it will catch up after destroying the entire layer realm, so for the sake of safety, the farther away it is best.
"Then let's go."
Although it was curious about what the enemy Chen Shi was talking about, Ran Xiang still didn't ask, it walked in the front, went down a few meters high to the exit of the cave, and stepped on the ground underground.
The underground here is full of abrupt rocks, strange appearance, like demons, and there is a new uneven terrain, they are still flat in front of them, and it becomes a downhill road when they walk.
And there is a faint red mist all around in front of them, and if they are a hundred meters away, they can hardly see clearly, and they can only lead the way with burning direction, otherwise they will lose the way if they can't distinguish the direction at all.
