Chapter 19: Deeper Beneath the Earth
The space underneath is impossibly large, and the ruins of an incredible ancient city lie silently in it.
The surrounding geography is a river valley that dried up and cracked at some unknown time, and there are fossils of huge bones of many unknown creatures.
And the new crack that appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the darkness behind it, was more like a vast and infinite void.
Or rather, the abyss.
Mu Xiu almost intuitively determined that behind the crack, there was a strange and mysterious world, a space completely different from the huge ruins behind him. And to decide that there is some real horror and unfathomable antiquity, lurking in the space behind the rift.
Maybe it's an underground world that is far away from the world we already know, and even several kilometers deep below the current underground space of the people?
Mu Xiu didn't know about this, because any means of measurement were pale and powerless, and his electromagnetic waves, his domineering sights and hearings, there was no way to give back any useful information after penetrating the pitch-black crack. Perhaps it is only through geological connections and unreasonable intuition that something can be read grudgingly.
However, this did not prevent him from making the most basic judgment right now - far away in the depths of the earth, there is a being called a dragon!
I didn't care at all what kind of psychological impact my words had on everyone, and I didn't look at the instantaneous changes in the faces of others.
Mu Xiu just jumped to the ground, and at the moment he landed, he bent his knees slightly, and he unloaded all the gravity and inertial potential energy, and it looked like he stood firm the moment he landed.
- At least in the eyes of everyone, it was him who fell straight from the height of three or four floors and then stood directly on the ground. Except for the necessary vibration, the legs did not bend, and it was as if they appeared on the ground as soon as they jumped.
But on the ground on the edge of his shoes, there were many fine cracks, which directly spread out more than ten centimeters.
Not noticing that there was anything wrong with his instinctive reaction, Mu Xiu stomped his foot lightly, closed his eyes, and the moment the AIM diffusion force field was fully deployed, it was already closely connected to the earth's magnetic field.
As a result, a huge network slowly unfolded in his spiritual vision, although it only revealed the true face of the sea, but it was enough to shock anyone.
It is a huge network of magnetic fields that fluctuate and change along the topography and topography, converging and intertwining, and spreading evenly throughout the planet as a whole.
Mu Xiu naturally did not have the possibility of controlling the entire earth's magnetic field, but he was able to strengthen his control and control over the surrounding environmental magnetic field through such behavior, and he was also able to extend his perception to more distant places or even deeper geological layers.
Of course, subtle movements such as clues can't be noticed in full, but big movements can definitely be caught by him at the first time. To put it mildly, even if there was a sudden earthquake in Brazil across the world, he would be the first to notice it.
But now all he had to do was extend his perception into the dark cavern behind the rift.
It would be a little irrational to continue to stay in a high place at this time, because the crazy wind blew without any reason, but frantically poured out of the dark portal, and it was too easy to be blown out of the high place.
If you look around, the ancient geography of this area should have been a rich and fertile river valley, but now there is no dirt or gravel left, just large chunks of bedrock. But the wind still weaved between the solid rocks, raging the eternal barren plains.
In a trance, a very ridiculous feeling surged in everyone's hearts-
There is such a strange underground world under the ground of Tokyo, like a dark field, and I don't know if it is separated from the surface by more than ten kilometers? Or is this not actually on Earth anymore? I and the others just actually traveled through the time and space tunnel?
β because they really can't remember how they got here.
The roar of the beast, which seemed to be an illusion, seemed to have the magic of the soul, and no one could tell how far and where they had traveled during that period of mental trance.
ββ¦β¦β
It was a little difficult to open his eyes, looking at the entrance to the distant abyss that blew gusts of wind, even Mu Xiu himself couldn't help but have such an illusion, naturally it was even more strange that other people's associations were too strong.
When the elder had his eyes closed, cautiously trembling, and with the help of his sister, he fell to the ground, and Mu Xiu had just completed the preliminary detection work.
"Ahem, classmate Mu Xiu, do you find anything?"
I always felt that something was wrong, and even the debt housekeeper, who felt the huge pressure, pulled his eldest lady behind him to protect him, and he himself stretched out his hand to block the oncoming wind, and finally asked with difficulty.
"Yes, but you need to go in to know for sure." Mu Xiu replied without looking back.
"Wait, in, in?" The debtor housekeeper's face also changed greatly, and he subconsciously looked at the dark cave in front of him that seemed to be a giant beast opening its mouth and choosing people to devour, and he was suddenly frightened.
"Is there any other way in but to get in? But don't worry, I'll just go in by myself, you guys wait outside! Mu Xiu raised his hand and snapped his fingers neatly, his voice was crisp in the furious wind, and it was still clearly recognizable.
So the dozen or so AIBO-type killer Graeme moved against the fierce wind, almost in the air pressure wall, as if they wanted to form a circle to block the wind. In this way, everyone can barely have a place to rest, and only a few people have the ability to open their eyes in the wind pressure.
"Wait, what do you mean you're going in alone?" Gui Daisy, whose face was obviously still a little pale, stepped forward and asked with a frown.
"That thing inside is not easy to mess with, if too many people go in, it will be troublesome, this is not the miscellaneous soldiers before." Mu Xiu stared at the pitch-black crack and replied flatly, "And if there is something that has been following us, it is not easy to mess with, we need to leave someone to deal with it, otherwise it will not be good to be blocked." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Something's following?" The corner of the elder's eyes twitched, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anything from the dark wind, and his vision was greatly limited.
"No problem, that thing's aura is not as good as the dragon inside, so the threat level is not high."
Mu Xiu replied casually, in his opinion, this is really a normal thing, to be honest, he has been crossing the ruins of that ancient city, and he has not encountered any other enemies except for a pile of bones, which is already the biggest unusual.
It wasn't until he noticed something slowly approaching behind him that he felt relieved, which proved that there was indeed something else in the ruins, but he didn't catch up with himself and the others for a while.
This is not a trap.
And that breath was never felt, not like a living thing, not like a dead thing. If it was usual, Mu Xiu might have been more interested, but now his whole mind was on the absolute dragon.
St. George's Dragon was a legendary dragon, but he died under Mu Xiu's sword in a daze, and even now that he had recovered some of his memories of that fragment, he still didn't know how he did it, and he could only be sure that it was definitely an A-class beast.
But now this dragon-
I haven't even seen each other, I don't know how far away we are, but I was able to force my group here through all kinds of strange means, and just heard the sound of its whistling, even I was almost directly planted with a spiritual suggestion, this kind of performance......
It is not not ferocious, and there is a great possibility that it far exceeds that of the dragon of St. George.
After all, you must know that when you hear the voice from a distance, you and the others have already fallen into the way, and you didn't come here to be recruited.
Mu Xiu was not afraid to guess the beast in the most extreme situation, but he also had a keen insight into what was wrong with it - if it really had overwhelming strength, why didn't it just rush out? Besides, even the "Lord God" shouldn't push himself over and send him to death, right?
There is definitely something wrong with the state of that dragon, and according to the speculation of the difficulty of the mission, it should be to the extent that it can deal with it.
However, his performance made everyone else wonder - what kind of dragon was there? Could it be that this guy really has experience in dragon slaying?
What are you kidding, the coffin board of the biologist can't hold it down!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
About ten minutes later.
"Use your advantage flexibly, the control of the robot is in Sister Futricia's, don't care about any morality, when that thing appears, go up and beat him directly......" Mu Xiu said seriously.
Completely ignoring the nun's angry shouting, "My name is Sonia Shafirnas, not the old woman!" "Such a move.
"That'...... Do you guys really have no problems? The debt housekeeper nodded, then looked at Mu Xiu with some difficulty, then looked at Gui Daisy and Gui Xuelu, and finally turned his head to look at the dark cave that looked like a wind cave, and his face seemed to be distorted for a while.
"There's no problem, don't worry, it's you, if you really can't hold on, let these Graeme go up and resist it, and then take that opportunity to retreat into the crack, that thing is too big to squeeze in......" Mu Xiu said with a calm expression.
After thinking about it, he added by the way: "Behind the crack is not an abyss, but a downward passage, but it is very steep and narrow." β
ββ¦β¦β
The adult's face suddenly became much better-looking, and although she had said this before, she didn't hate to listen to it a few more times.
"I hope so, but as I said before, if you don't come back after a certain amount of time, we'll go inβ" The butler boy said with a very serious expression, and it was obvious that he was a little unacceptable to such a situation.
Because there is indeed only one way out ahead, even if they can't find the road, they have to go in and slaughter the thing that is said to be a dragon before they can have a chance to return the way they came, otherwise they may not be able to return to the surface anyway......
After all, as long as you think about it, you will know that there were endless "accidents" along the way before, but no one would be stupid enough to think that it was really a coincidence.
But what Ayasaki really felt that he couldn't accept was that he didn't belong to the expedition in the plan of splitting up, but left the unknown danger to others. But he couldn't refuse, because his eldest lady stayed on it, and no matter what, he had to make sure that someone stayed here.
In order to deal with the next troubles, there are ...... Make sure that if something goes wrong, at least someone can think of something else.
You can't always put all your eggs in the same basket.
