Chapter 307: The Well of Ignorance
"How tall is thisβthis place......" said the fat man, looking up with his flashlight, but it was terrible that it was dark above them.
The location they were in was like an undrilled shaft, with an unknown amount of ground at the top and the bottom of the shaft below.
Or to put it another way, the well was dug to draw water from the ground, and since they were now not far from the bottom of the well, wasn't the location where they were just now an underground river?
Is that the River Styx or not? If it's not the River Styx, why is the Chaos Beast ambushing from inside, and if it's the River Styx, why is Hakstad also in it......
The world constructed by occult magic was something they couldn't even think of if they wanted to break their heads.
"Alas...... Forget it, victory won't come so easily, come on, everyone. Fang Wuhan said, took the flashlight from the fat man, and shone on the dense holes on the wall of the dirt well in front of him, the star rats they saw in the illusion just now were probably the worms that came out of these holes, and now if the worms are drilled out of these holes, it will be really troublesome.
Fang Wuhan took a lot of holes in a row, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Yang Feng was even more thorough, and directly took the god killer and stretched it into the cave, seeing the situation inside clearly.
"There are bugs, but they're all burned." Yang Feng said.
"I'm scared if I'm burned, burned to death...... Bugs that big ......," the fat man said smirkedly.
Indeed, they could still smell an eerie burning smell floating in the air, a smell somewhere between the aroma of barbecue and the stench of rotting meat.
"Try not to step on dense places, these holes are not necessarily strong, and if your foot slips, it is easy to lose your center of gravity." Fang Wuhan said, and a side kick hit the hole in the wall, instantly knocking the hole in half.
"Don't I still have a pickaxe in my bag...... Let's use tools, with our bare hands, if I touch those bugs, I guess I can throw my arms out......" The fat man said, finding the big burden from behind him, and soon found the bag of mountaineering picks from the abrupt "ping-pong" sound.
In that bag, there were the same harnesses they used at the beginning, but they probably don't need them anymore in places like this now.
"Fix it up, everybody, ...... I don't know how tall it is, anyway, no matter what position you climb, you must restrain yourself from looking down, why do you want to do it, everyone is not a child, you understand, you can slow down, you can find a suitable position and take a break, don't be reckless, if you accidentally fall, it's really troublesome. Fang Wuhan said solemnly.
"Understood." Yang Feng nodded and said, "Received."
Fang Wuhan glanced at him, "You don't need to understand, you can't fall to your death." β
A huge doubt suddenly appeared on Yang Feng's face, "How do you know that I can't fall to death...... Why don't I drop one for you? β
Fang Wuhan glared at him, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious again.
"Adjust your state, don't rush." Fang Wuhan said, took out a bottle of energy drink from the bag behind the pilot uncle, and blew half a bottle in one go.
"The more this kind of enemy is present, the more excited I feel!" The fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Big brother, don't worry, with me, the morale of our team will definitely not be low!" β
Fang Wuhan originally wanted to tease him again to liven up the atmosphere, but thinking of the feat of daring to rush out alone with the healing talisman when facing the Heavenly Machine Guardian just now, he immediately took back those ridiculous words.
Fang Wuhan smiled slightly, "This performance is good, and there is a lot of progress." β
A sincere smile suddenly appeared on the fat man's face.
"Does it feel like it?" Fang Wuhan walked up to Su Ya and pointed to the darkness above his head.
Su Ya pursed her mouth, looked up at it, and nodded slightly.
"Don't you regret coming here?" Fang Wuhan asked softly.
"Sort of......" Su Ya muttered.
"Now, if there was a chance for you to go back, would you choose to go back?" Fang Wuhan then asked.
"No, it won't." There is a hint of perseverance in Su Ya's two words.
"Why?"
"If I go back now, what is it? When the world returns to normal, tell them a story, saying that I went to the Mausoleum of the Phantom Emperor, suffered all kinds of hardships and finally didn't get anything, and then went back in disgrace? Su Ya raised her head, stared into Fang Wuhan's eyes and said.
Fang Wuhan smiled, touched her head lightly, and then turned to look at the others, "Do you have any regrets!" My magic power here is about to disappear, and if any of you want to go back, I'll open a portal and send you home immediately! β
His words echoed in this "well" for a long time, like a lingering spell.
"Never go back! It's dead here! I've got to pull some monsters for me to bury too! I'm going to be buried with God, too! The fat man roared with angry eyes.
"That's right, what are you talking about, what kind of life and death have we come over, how can we say that we will go back, this is not a game, the six of us followed you here, we came here with the determination to die, we were all ordinary people before, we have never seen any magic, and we have no ability, but as long as we can help, we will try our best to help, where we can't help, it is also you and Yang Feng who take care of us, just with this friendship, how can we just say let's go!" Uncle Pilot said solemnly.
"Yes, not going back!" The remaining survivors took a stand.
A happy smile once again appeared on Fang Wuhan's face, and he said in his heart...... Finally, he didn't dismantle his stage again...... Now, they are really brothers on the line of life and death......
"Then let's start, whoever is tired will say, we will wait for you." Fang Wuhan said, picked up a pickaxe from the ground, and climbed up first.
In fact, the difficulty of climbing the wall of this machine shaft is not high, because those bugs have already made holes for them, to talk about the difficulty, climbing such a wall is actually no different from the children's climbing toys in the playground, but the key is that they don't know how deep this place is, and they just don't know if there are insects in the holes above.
"Oh yes, one sentence less, even if there are still live insects on it, don't be afraid, we all saw the insects here just now, there are almost no poisonous ones, even if you let them bite a few bites, it's fine, we still have more holy water here, and the wound can heal in a few seconds." Fang Wuhan said.
"Okay big brother, I'll try to overcome it! You have to trust us! The fat man said, and climbed up the second one after Fang Wuhan.
"Remember! Safety first! We don't have any protection! After Fang Wuhan finished the last sentence, he continued to climb up.
Because of the climbing picks, they didn't feel very difficult, and it was really like a climbing frame for children to play with.
Fang Wuhan's kung fu for a while, he has climbed up about four or five meters, for him, I'm afraid it's okay to climb a few hundred meters, Yang Feng's "hidden god" in the team is about the same, as for the others...... As long as there are no accidents, they should be able to climb out with them.
"Yang Feng, look at the point, and when I see the top, I say, I'm night blind and my eyes are not good." Fang Wuhan said to Yang Feng as if chatting.
Yang Feng smiled bitterly, "You didn't have night blindness when you fought me in the sword body room, and you didn't have night blindness when you beat me on the roof. β
Fang Wuhan was speechless for a moment, with the help of the light of the flashlight, he saw a huge spider from a hole in front of him that was "facing his N eyes", this spider was gray all over, with a very long layer of fluff on the skin, when he first saw this guy, Fang Wuhan was so frightened that he almost trembled and fell.
He felt a chill in his back, and thought to himself that if he had just carved the pickaxe into this hole, I am afraid that this thing would have climbed up his arm along the pickaxe......
If there is an arbiter, I'm afraid his climb will be easier......
Thinking about it, he calmly held a mountaineering pickaxe in one hand to stabilize his center of gravity, and with the other hand, he pulled out the double hook of the Protoss from his waist and hooked the spider out of the hole at once.
The spider didn't seem to be hostile the whole time, so it was thrown down by Fang Wuhan......
"Big brother, what did you just throw down there?" The fat man's puzzled voice came from below.
"It's nothing, a lump of ash has fallen on my head." Fang Wuhan exited into a chapter.
"What? With just your hair, can you catch that big cloud of ash? The voice of the fat man came from below.
"Then the next time I catch something, I'll throw it at you and see if you can catch your killer Matt hairstyle." Fang Wuhan said ill-intentionedly.
"Woo...... Why can't I scold you every time? Whether it's in the sky or underground, no matter who is around you, what occasion, in reality or in magical space...... When you first trained ninjutsu, did you also learn how to scare people? The fat man said aggrievedly.
"That's right, the skills are not good, the teacher will not let you graduate, when I practiced scaremongering, one and four, my four masters made me speechless." Fang Wuhan chatted.
"Big brother has a good mouth!" After the fat man finished speaking, he gave him a thumbs up.
But at this moment, no one else had any special circumstances, Fang Wuhan almost slipped down because of the empty pickaxe, he was startled, his body instinctively pressed against the wall, and his eyes were staring at the strangely shaped hole above.
"What's the matter, Wuhan, don't scare us......" Uncle Pilot under Fang Wuhan said softly.
Fang Wuhan swallowed his saliva, "No, it's okay, there's a relatively big pit here, the mountaineering pickaxe can't hook it, don't go this way." β
As he spoke, he slowly shifted his position and continued to climb up.
That is, when his body was at the same height as the big pit, the fear in his heart suddenly spread throughout his body as if it had been detonated, and he suddenly realized that the strangely shaped big pit in front of him was clearly the footprints of a monster climbing......
