Chapter 66: The Deep Cave
The Yearning descended towards the deep hole, the falling rubble slamming off the shield above. On the dashboard, the light of the shield overrun warning turned on again, and Arthur hurriedly adjusted the range setting on the panel, concentrating the force field energy of the shield on the upper part of the spaceship, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"It's too time-consuming." He frowned, and manipulated the grip in his hand, and the long tongue of the ion thruster under the ship suddenly shortened by half, and the Voyage descended rapidly under the planet's gravity.
"Our car is running out of gas." The Barrecas tried to use their own humor to temper the tension in the car, but no one could understand his Barrecas jokes.
Add stared silently at the detection screen as Lilac gripped the armrest of her seat, barely dead but almost fully revealed. In the faint light of the cabin, you can clearly see the blue blood flowing extremely fast in the body of the shadowless man, and the face of the surviving is even paler than usual, he is still expressionless, but the eyes in his eyes are firmly fixed on the screen in front of him.
Among the group, Turbulence was obviously the most heartless, lying on the deck with his head in his hands and his legs crossed, his huge body almost filling the tool compartment at the rear of the mounder.
The silence in the cabin revealed the mood of each team member, and the fishskin man couldn't help muttering a few words, and suddenly whistled nonchalantly, the whistle was long and melodious, like a piece of music, he played a funny tune, his hands danced on his legs and beat it, although the appearance was funny, his attainments were extraordinary.
The members of the traveling team were originally nervous and nervous, but they couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard his whistle, so even the serious Arthur didn't make a sound, and let him show off, so this disguised encouragement made the fishskin man's whistle blow more happily.
Outside the ship, the huge sinkhole seemed to be endless, and there was no light from above, only the reflection of the yearning spotlight on the crater wall.
The walls of the sinkhole are smooth at first, but the further down they go, the rougher they become. As the motive continued to go deeper, red crystals began to spread all over the cave walls, some of which looked strange, and the light shining on them became brighter and brighter.
Farther back, there seemed to be countless mirrors of the Aspiration sliding across the walls of the crater, of all sizes, and the sinkhole seemed to be surrounded by countless mirrors, revealing all angles of the ship.
As the minutes ticked by, the spacecraft was still descending, and a minor tune had already been performed. When he was still unfinished and still thinking about another song, Lilac, who had been staring at the screen in front of him, suddenly said excitedly: "There is a bottom, and I have finally seen the bottom." ”
On the holographic screen, the detection device of the Aspiration turned on the maximum detection range, and the columnar sinkhole in the three-dimensional map finally outlined the long-lost bottom. Arthur carefully steered the ship slowly to land on the ground, and the wheels of the Yearning finally touched the ground until this moment.
The wolf-headed man carefully analyzed the information fed back by the sonar on the screen in the front window, and he pointed to the screen and said, "It seems that there is the largest space in this direction, is our destination there?" ”
He turned his head to look at Eddie beside him, apparently asking for the opinion of the Kande, who had been playing the role of some kind of witchcraft.
"I ...... I do not know. Eddie answered him honestly, and the force that had guided him for days from the time he entered the cave seemed to suddenly disappear out of thin air.
"Forever, the classic answer." Arthur nodded frequently, his long mouth grinning, his teeth clenched, his fingers moved on the console panel in front of him, and the long wings spread out on both sides of the body were immediately retracted, and the Yearning returned to the state of a ground-skier.
Arthur didn't dare to use the energy-hungry ion propulsion mode anymore, because once the Aspiration ran out of energy, they wouldn't be able to fly out of this hellish place.
The moot shifted to the ground, the engine roared, and the vehicle moved in the widest direction of the cavern. In front of the two spotlights at the front of the car, the bottom of the glazed cave is like a wide mine road dug by a knife and axe, and there are large or small stones blocking the road along the way, and the mountain stones are crystal glass, but they are opaque, and they do not know what kind of material they contain, and the light of the spotlights cannot pass through.
Arthur had to maneuver the vehicle nervously, going around trying to avoid the rocks that stood in his way, which made the sweeper drive even more tortuous.
Lilac pulled the roof guard and looked at the top of the cave through the closed window above, but it saw its own reflection and its eyes widened above its head, like the shadow of another world.
"It's beautiful." The alien deep hole, the glass is like a mirror, which can't help but make the fairy man feel the unpredictability of nature, it can't help but mumble to itself, but it makes the teammates around him laugh.
"Are you complimenting yourself?" The surviving head was next to the lilac, and he was also looking at the roof of the cave through the hanging window at the top.
"It's not a force of nature." He leaned on the window and looked out and said.
"Is it difficult or who dug it up?" Not dead but disagrees with the fishskin man's point of view.
"No race has ever had such extraordinary strength." He sat back in his seat, his skin looming like an invisibility cloak whose magic was about to fail.
"Don't forget the 'Ascenders', I bet they have that." Lilac reminded him.
"They? It's just an old legend, and although the footprints of the ascended people are all over the galaxy, they haven't come here yet. And if these prehistoric monsters are really that powerful, how can they disappear without warning. The Dead sneered.
"Maybe they're just leaving, maybe something happened to them......" Lilac thought as she looked out the window.
"What about a nuclear catastrophe, a germ, a fertility problem, or a stellar helium flash?" The survivors talked about these terrible scourges, but there was no expression on their faces. "Another example is that there are races that are stronger than Si, and they will be wiped out if they are not left." He thought for a moment and added again.
"The Ascended Beings have left so many great relics, and even today, hundreds of millions of years later, they can still witness their former civilization, how can such a powerful race be wiped out by others?" Lilac questioned.
"You're right, they invented tombs that never destroyed to let us know they ever existed. But that's all, a grave is a tomb, and the generational change between the universe is as natural as breathing. The survivor looked at the lilac, and then said, "Of course, you don't have to breathe." He pointed to a well-known fact of a Vidal.
