Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Groove
Everyone understands what Bloom means, but the truth is obviously cruel, what other purpose can the grooves that appear here be used for other than to hold boxes?
Everyone shifted their eyes to the box containing the tribute suspended in the air beside Harvey, this box followed them all the way, even if they were chased by the king of ice beasts, they never gave up, so they were extremely familiar with the box, but extremely unfamiliar, because no one had opened this box, and the seal on it also forbade them to touch it.

"Harvey, put the box in the groove. ”
Bloom said to Harvey. Everyone came to Longshen Mountain to have two tasks, one of which was to escort the tribute, this task was taken over by Bloom from the Tiger Mercenary Group, since the place where the tribute was placed was in front of him, it was natural to complete this task first.
"Wait!"
Just as Harvey dragged the box over, Elvis stepped forward to stop him.
"What's wrong, El?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Elvis.
"Isn't it strange that countless tributes have been sent over the centuries, but there are no treasures or chests left here?"
Elvis said as everyone watched. Bloom's words reminded him that if this was the destination of the tribute, they couldn't get out, but the dragons couldn't get in, then how could they get the tribute?
"This means that there is a passage leading to the outside, and the boxes are being transported out of the passage. ”
Alan continued Elvis' train of thought.
"Your analysis makes sense, but we don't see any passages here, maybe it's a mechanism, and we'll put the boxes on the passages. ”
Bloom said.
"If there is a passage, will these mercenaries still need to die here?"
Elvis pointed to the frozen corpses around the ice room.
"El, what the hell do you mean?"
Alan asked.
"I'm not sure myself, I'm just worried that if we put the box up, we'll end up like people who have been here before. ”
Elvis said with a worried expression.
"We have to give it a try, we can't just wait, can we?"
Bloom was in a hurry.
"Don't worry. Harvey, you're guarding the chest, and the rest of me and I will look around for signs of potential passages, and then it's not too late to put the boxes in place. ”
Alan suggested.
When everyone saw that Allen's suggestion was reasonable, they no longer objected. Leaving Harvey alone, the others followed Eren around the ice room with the lighting magic array a few times, walking through all the places that could be checked and seen, especially in all corners, not even letting go of any clues.
"Stanny, look at how thick this ice is. ”
After inspecting all the ice chambers, Allen, who had no gains, instructed Stanny that the ice in the ice chamber might just be a cover.
"The ice is very hard and thick, at least one step thick, and the rocks inside should be mountains, and the dragon has no ability to penetrate the rocks and ice. ”
Without Stanny's hands, Bloom took the big sword and chiseled it on the ground and the wall respectively, the ice was very strong, and it took him a long time to dig out two holes more than one step deep, revealing the rock inside, and he struck the rock with his sword a few times, and the sound sounded very thick.
"Looks like we'll have to put the box in the groove and try it. ”
Alan was disappointed by the results of the investigation, and now their only option was to put the crate in the groove.
"Okay!"
Alan looked at everyone with an inquiring gaze, and everyone nodded, Elvis's lips squirmed, but he didn't say anything after all, because he had no other way. The entire ice chamber was empty, and if you want to find a way out, perhaps this groove is the only chance.
Harvey dragged the box over the groove again, straightened it out, and nodded at Alan.
"Everyone be prepared, no matter what happens for a while, once there is a passage, you have to rush in desperately. ”
Alan said with a solemn expression, and after saying that, he stopped the floating magic array on the box.
"Bang!"
The buoyancy of the floating magic array gradually disappeared, and the box fell vertically, falling right into the groove, and the box collided with the ice at the bottom of the groove, making a crisp sound, echoing in the ice chamber unconsciously, followed by a dead silence.
Alan stared at the box, not daring to blink his eyes, for fear of missing any changes, and the others were similar, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp.
Ten seconds passed, and nothing changed, half a minute later, nothing changed, and after a minute, there was still no change.
"Bang!
The sweat dripping on the ground was so clear, the sweat quickly froze, and the temperature in the ice room was very low, but several people still kept wiping the sweat on their faces.
"The box didn't disappear, the passage didn't appear, what's the situation?"
Elvis was the first to break the silence.
"Isn't this groove used for boxes?"
Bloom asked with heavy breathing.
"The combination between the two could not be so coincidental. ”
Alan shook his head.
"Anyway, we've done our job, what's next?"
Bloom suddenly smiled bitterly, after the most frightening, uneventful moment just now, now there was only incomparable disappointment and helplessness, how he wished that something could happen just now, even if it was a group of dragons that suddenly broke in and surrounded them.
"Keep looking for an exit. ”
Alan said calmly.
"We just looked for it, and there is no exit here at all. ”
Bloom sighed.
"Go to other places to see, such a big mountain, there are many places that I haven't looked for. ”
Alan knew that the most likely place for the mountain to have an exit to the outside was this ice chamber, and if there was no exit here, there was even more hope for other places, but they must not give up, or they would wait for death.
"Good. I'll take El and Harvey down to have a look, and Alan, you stay and look at the box. ”
Allen's composure made Bloom a lot calmer, and now it's not the time to despair, and he and Allen, as the backbone of everyone, must not mess up.
"Okay, you go down, if you find anything, don't be in a hurry, come back first and discuss before acting. ”
Alan called Bloom aside and told him that he didn't ask to go down, because the box was the most important clue at the moment, and since there were no traces left by the previous box here, it meant that the dragon would definitely come here to take the box, so they had to keep an eye on the box when they searched the space below.
"Alan, everything here is weird, and you must be extra cautious. ”
Elvis also told Alan Dao before he left, and after saying that, he took the illuminated magic array and walked down the passage with Bloom.
