Chapter 480: Heading for the Abyss
Compared with the 10,000 people who set off from the academy mission at the academy conference, this journey to the abyss was obviously much more lonely and heavy.
Because of the secrecy of the abyssal exploration, and the crisis that shrouds behind the exploration, there is no doubt that even the mission itself, which is about to depart, also maintains relative silence and vague sadness.
The huge Qi power feather ship is quietly drifting in a small airport in the depths of the academy, waiting for the abyss explorers to board the ship.
And the very few send-offs who are qualified to know about this are standing on the periphery of the small airport, saying their final goodbyes to the people who are about to leave.
As Su Mu's fiancée, Su Tong didn't care about the surprised eyes of others now, and kissed Su Mu's lips in public again, and then deliberately said playfully:
"Same as last time...... Promise I have to come back safely!"
The last time Su Mu returned to the imperial capital of Longtuo alone, he left in Su Tong's kiss, and finally returned successfully, so before Su Mu was about to go to the abyss of the brain hole, Su Tong also gave Su Mu that familiar aftertaste, and still hoped that Su Mu could return without surprise.
However, compared with the sweet farewell between Su Mu and Su Tong, another character who made a special trip to see each other off in the field seemed incompatible with the warmth here.
Wyatt, the Speaker of the Federal Assembly, also came to this lonely small airport, and now he was looking at the figure behind the crowd through the participants of the trip.
Although Wyatt came here specifically, he didn't really try to go to his daughter, but just watched everything in front of him from afar.
At this time, Lu Xi himself also only looked at Ran Wyatt for a moment from a distance, and then he had already boarded the feather ship that was about to depart, and did not really walk towards the man who came to see him off.
And for this scene, whether Su Mu or Deng was lazy, they did not interfere at will.
Whether it is Deng Shunla, who is clear about the contradiction between father and daughter, or Su Mu, who has actually guessed the approximate situation, the two of them, as bystanders, undoubtedly understand:
There are some things that others really can't easily intervene in.
So in this loneliness and quietness, the exploration team that set off to the abyss of the brain hole gently tore away the morning fog that had not been dispelled by the sun in this extraordinary early morning in summer, and quietly rowed to the farthest part of the sky.
The so-called abyss exploration...... It all started silently at this moment!
......
"The missions of the three academies will first converge near the abyss, and after successfully setting up one end of the alchemy teleporter, they will enter the abyss together. ”
On the huge feather ship, although the number of academy members participating in the exploration has obviously decreased, in comparison, the alchemy technicians who are controlling the feather ship, and the federal soldiers who are used to protect the alchemy teleporter in the agreement, are obviously more complete than when they left the empire, and they also have a more silent momentum.
After all, compared to the pure exchange of the departure empire, this exploration to the abyss of the brain hole will obviously not be so peaceful and safe, and the two journeys are completely different in nature.
At this moment, the members of the exploration team who had just boarded the ship were undoubtedly all gathered on the deck of the feather ship, looking into the distance with a slight mood.
Therefore, as the dean of the academy, Deng Shunla, spoke, naturally everyone's eyes also converged.
"However, the particularity of this abyss exploration must have been understood by you. Therefore, in addition to obtaining information, the more important point of this exploration itself is...... Make sure you take your own life!"
When Deng Shunlath said this, even his eyes became cold.
"The place called 'Brain Hole Abyss' is undoubtedly an existence that humans have not been able to explain until now, and it is a place full of novelty and weirdness. ”
"That place is full of infinite opportunities, and as long as you can read some of the strangeness of the abyss, you will surely be able to soar in your own strength. But that place is also full of man-eating dangers, and even if there is no abyssal frenzy brewing, people have also died in every exploration that has been. ”
Deng Shunla's expression is actually not the slightest exaggeration.
The center of the world, called the Abyss of the Brain Cave, has always been so mysterious and dangerous, full of opportunities and devouring everything. The relationship between humans and the abyss is like that of an entrenched dragon and a bounty hunter who steals treasure, accompanied by great wealth and glory...... It's always a huge risk that it can be swallowed up at any time!
"So, in all cases, your best aim is to keep yourself alive. Once the crisis comes, we must immediately give up exploration, and we must immediately give up curiosity about the abyss. ”
"Only by living well...... Only then can we bring the information and yourselves back to the Federation in its entirety!"
......
The extreme sailing speed of the Qi Power Feather Ship is not fast enough, and the crisis brewing in the depths of the abyss is also urging the explorers at all times. So much so that only in the early morning of the fourth day after departure, Su Mu and his party had already appeared near the abyss.
Although through Lu Xi's description, Su Mu had already understood the vastness and enormity of the abyss.
But even so, when that endless astonishing void really appeared in front of Su Mu and the others, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them and couldn't speak.
The so-called "brain hole abyss" is not a petty thing like a lost abyss at all, but a kind of huge existence that makes people feel frightened.
Just like the vast sea, it is impossible to see the end with the limited eyesight of human beings, and the abyss of the brain hole in front of us is also a deep black hole that cannot find the edge at all.
It's like a continuous continental land, and suddenly there is a rupture here.
With an almost straight cliff-like abyssal wall, the world collapsed at the edge of the abyss as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.
And then there is the endless darkness, devouring both the curious gaze of humans and any creatures that try to pass through.
And with the "Brain Hole Abyss" coming into view, the countless tribal settlements under the feather ship also began to appear in the eyes of Su Mu and others.
The remnants of the Abyss, who once came to this world with the Abyss Tide, are still too few of them compared to humans, so they can only be driven by the human kingdom to live in the barren land near the Abyss.
And until this moment, until the picture under the feather ship, it was all in the eyes of everyone on the ship.
As the dean of the college, Deng avoided laziness, and finally spoke:
"Because the alchemy teleportation device was provided by the Papal States, the final meeting place of the exploration team was also set at the entrance to the abyss near the side of the Papal States. So for the next few days, we will continue to sail along the edge of the abyss until ...... Arrive at the agreed place!"
