The Lost Civilization Chapter 54 The Lava World
Morgan was unsuspected, like Planck, and fell into the underground world, being bruised by the surrounding rock walls, and finally falling into a huge underground lake.
Unlike Planck, however, Morgan was away on duty all year round, and these small flesh injuries were not worth mentioning to him, but to his surprise, the closer he got down, the more he felt the heat, but ended up falling into a cold, biting underground water.
Thump......
Thump......
After Morgan fell, several other people also fell into the underground lake, and Morgan swam up after a brief stiffness, gesturing to the people in the water, motioning for everyone to float to the surface and take a look, and everyone gestured in response.
"Poof!" Morgan's black chocolate head came out of the groundwater, spat out a mouthful of water, and looked at the world with some surprise, as the others poked their heads out of the lake.
"Hell, it's colder than an air-conditioned indoor pool, and it's as hot as the last time I was in the Antarctic winter swim!" Posey grumbled as he emerged from the water, his curly hair completely against his face, looking as terrifying as a drowned water ghost.
"Dude, why is it so hot up there!" Posey shook his hair, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see it, but when he saw the world here, he was also surprised, almost everyone had mouths at this time, they didn't expect to see such a beautiful scene in the underground world.
The dome of the sky is a spar that shines like a sea of stars, almost like coming to the observatory of Mount Manakea in Hawaii, and the lake in the distance and the crystals shining in the darkness are perfectly integrated, like the sea and sky are the same color as the stars falling into the water on that night.
"It's good here... It's so beautiful! If it weren't for these statues, I think I'd take my wife here for a while!"
"Well, it's a good place, but I'd suggest we go to shore first, my old bones can't afford to soak in such cold groundwater here!"
"It looks like you can get to shore and swim that way!" Morgan pointed in the direction and swam the crowd struggling toward it.
Climbing from the water to the dry shore, everyone wrung out their wet clothes, but the temperature on the shore and the temperature in the water seemed to be completely different from the same dimension, the air on the shore was filled with the smell of Sahara heat, and the temperature in the water was like a cold Greenland current passing from the Arctic Ocean.
"How can it be so strange here, the temperature in the air is very high, how can it be in the water, this temperature is so low and scary!" Morgan also asked for the first time, something is not quite right here.
Morgan wouldn't be surprised that the underground world is too hot and too cold, but there are two extremes in one space, as if the Sahara Desert and Greenland are next to each other, which is counterintuitive.
His gaze turned to the stone walls on both sides of the river, and there were oval holes dug on the stone walls, and there were statues of gods carved in the holes, which was a bit of the taste of the Dunhuang grottoes. Although these idols have the same movements, they are all seated and lifted, but their expressions are different.
"Look at the flames, it's amazing how they can burn in the air!" Posey pointed to the flames, his eyesight was excellent, and he could see the flames burning steadily in the idol's hand.
Eren took a deep breath, and in his impression, it seemed that only phosphorus fires could burn like this, and they would soon be extinguished, but what these golden flames were, he had never heard of.
"Oops... My communications are all down!" Morgan tried to send the photos to the Eden Star outside, but all he could do was the noise of electricity, and no matter how he adjusted it, it didn't work.
"Mine too!" Alan tried too, but to no avail, and Posey reacted the same, even the radios used by Rick and Jim had lost their effect at this point.
"It seems that Planck didn't receive the news in the first place, and he did come here, but we are lucky, the headquarters will definitely find the anomaly as soon as possible, and then send rescue!" Morgan put away his communication.
"I hope Planck must have come here to lose contact with us!" said Percy.
"But the bad news is that we're in danger ourselves, and don't forget, the places that can block our signal from the Star of Eden are Jedi that no one has ever visited, and they are usually full of alien energy, which is very dangerous!" Alan said with a not-so-optimistic voice.
"Senior, don't say that, I feel like I won't be able to see my wife if you say that!" Posey glanced at Alan nervously, and saying such things at this time was obviously an act of attacking the morale of the military.
"Don't scatter, let's explore inside!" Morgan walked forward.
"Dude, aren't we really waiting here for the academy's support, we're probably going to stay here if we're in danger!" Posey was a little timid, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that after he died, his wife would be lonely, and it was pitiful.
"The academy's rescue came here for a while, and now we are looking for a way, maybe Planck has found a way out, and staying here all the time is not a solution!" Morgan did not agree with Posey's idea, he thought that where there is in, there must be a place to go out.
"Okay, okay, I'm dead anyway, and my personal safety insurance is enough for my wife to spend a lifetime..."Percy sighed and followed.
The crowd followed Morgan's footsteps and steadily pushed inside, and after a while, they came to the door of a stone gate, which was very large, but the passage inside was very small, as if it was a hole made by tomb robbers, and only one person could enter and exit.
On either side of the stone door, there were two weathered white bones, which looked to have been dead for at least thousands of years, and it was absolutely impossible for Planck to leave them behind.
"Go in and take a look?" Morgan pointed to the road, it was pitch black inside, but Morgan was not afraid of the dark, he was also a black man, he thought that black was very good-looking, very ceremonial and solemn color, and the atmosphere was classy.
"You go ahead—" Percy stuck his head in, his words echoing back many times.
Morgan smiled, he didn't expect his little brother to be a person who was afraid of the dark, and as he spoke, he took his iron rod engraved with alchemy runes and walked inside, followed by Percy, followed by Alan and two American soldiers.
The corridor inside was very crowded, and Morgan had to keep his head out of his body to ensure that his head was not hung by the rocks on it, while Percy was shorter and only needed to walk normally, and the others had to keep their heads down more or less to avoid being put down.
Morgan walked with his team for five minutes, although their speed was not fast, but according to the general speed, several people had already walked down for about a kilometer or so.
"This is not the way to hell!" Percy said jokingly.
"Possibly!" Morgan said along with the joke.
"Then I hope that in hell, the warden of hell can return my grandmother's soul to me, so that I will be grateful!" Posey did not know when he took out his demon weapon.
"I guess it's good that the warden didn't take you with him!" Morgan continued to smear and walked down.
After walking down for another five minutes, they finally saw the light in the distance.
"Looks like we're about to get there! are you ready to do something?" Morgan clenched the iron rod in his hand, he didn't know where the light leads, but it's definitely not an exit, they're all the way down, there is no exit at all.
Morgan led the group into the light, and after a flash of light, they felt like they were in hell.
They were standing on a stone bridge, with neatly laid tiles on top of it, without any protection on either side, and if you looked down, you could see the underground undercurrent of lava, and there were bursts of flames in it from time to time.
The temperature here is much higher than before, just like in the Sahara Desert under the scorching sun, except that there is no sand here, and the fluctuating heat radiation in the air makes everyone's face feel hot.
And not only are there traces of magma activity underground, but even in the mouth of a huge stone statue in the distance, you can see the magma spit out of it, flying down 3,000 feet, towards the underground magma pool, and the depressing feeling here makes everyone's breathing not smooth.
"It's hell," Posey's mouth was dry, and he now wanted to go back to where he came from and drink some ice water from underground.
"The decoration here is really strange, you see the sky, half lit, half dark!" There seems to be a sun-like fireball hanging in the air in the bright place, and the black place seems to be dotted with quartz stones, like a real starry sky, and you can even see the trajectory of each constellation and the connection of the Big Dipper.
"There are so many stone caves around! they are all full of god statues, I really don't know who built such a place!" Alan counted the number of stone caves around him, he couldn't count them, it was estimated that there were at least a few thousand, in this boxy underground palace stone cave, it was like thousands of eyes looking at them, a little infiltrating.
"Wait, look at the platform in the distance, there's still someone over there!" Rick, the leader of the American team, noticed that there seemed to be a person sitting on the platform under the huge stone statue in the distance as everyone marveled at the wonders of the surrounding artifacts.
"Planck!" Percy's eyes were good, and he saw the man at a glance.
"It's just that he... He... How could it be like this!" Percy couldn't believe his eyes, now Planck's body was covered with blue and purple veins, as if he had been poisoned, but in their academy, when they saw such a person, a word would arise in their minds, "Inhuman"!
"What's wrong?" Morgan couldn't see clearly, and after losing the help of the multi-purpose device, they were still blind and couldn't see far away.
"Planck became... Inhuman...", Posey said word for word.
Planck, who was in the distance, seemed to notice Morgan's movements, and he stood up, his expression tinged with excitement.
