Chapter Ninety-Two: The End of the Endless Staircase
The entire sandstone basin looked like a huge monster's mouth at this time, and the backs of Lola Mier Costria and Su Chen seemed to have been swallowed by this monster's mouth and disappeared silently.
The "barrel lid", which was originally pointing obliquely to the sky, the layers of sandstone, also fell with a "bang". The entire sandstone basin has returned to the way it was when Su Chen and the others had just arrived.
And those who stood still before, as if they had been frozen, suddenly came to life at this moment. However, they seem to have no idea what has just happened.
The "basketball captain" said suspiciously: "Huh? Why did the wind stop? Where did Kosteria and Su Chen go? ”
The others also echoed and discussed, and then they also discovered that there were not only Kosteria and Su Chen missing from the team, but also many teammates who had fallen behind.
Some people speculated: "Could they have gone back first?" ”
"Why don't we go back too!" There are also people who take advantage of the trend to propose. Many people hastened to agree.
A bunch of people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and they all vaguely felt that being able to leave here naturally was far more important than finding out the truth.
If this place can't be developed, it's not a big deal to give up, and there was no such untouchable forbidden place on the Blue Star back then.
The basketball captain scratched the back of his head, he was not very willing, he had come here, just give up and return in vain, wouldn't it be a pity?
And he definitely didn't think that the man and woman who walked steadily in the violent wind would go back casually without finding out the results. However, in the face of everyone's unanimous opposition, he couldn't insist too much.
Eventually, a temporary compromise was reached between those who advocated going back and those who wanted to continue the survey, and they planned to take a few pictures of the entire environment, draw a map, collect some samples, and then hurry back.
As they knocked and knocked around, they didn't know that the seemingly impregnable layers of sandstone beneath their feet were actually just a façade to cover up some deep cave.
And their companion, who had disappeared before, was now in that deep cave, suffering beyond imagination. However, these suffering crowds do not include Lola Mier Costria and Su Chen.
Lola Miel Costria and Su Chen were continuing to count the steps.
Endless steps.
Su Chen had just followed behind his senior sister and stepped on the first step, although he saw that the sandstone covered area was actually a dark and deep cave, but the white marble steps gave people a sense of solidity and reliability. Without thinking, it seems that this step is not steep, nor is it too long, and its end must be the bottom of this cave.
I think those missing people and materials should have accidentally touched some of the mechanisms of this magic circle, and then, those people and materials were teleported to this underground cave.
Although a long time has passed since the accident, considering that there are still a large number of supplies that disappeared with the personnel, it is possible to find survivors.
What's more, the "senior sister" is obviously very familiar with this formation, not to say that she is confident, at least she knows it in her heart. Su Chen felt that as long as he followed the "senior sister" closely and listened to her arrangement, everything should go well.
However, at this moment, Su Chen didn't dare to be too sure.
There is no other reason, there are too many steps that "Senior Sister" and Su Chen have walked.
Moreover, since every time he stepped on a new step, the steps would disappear directly, and when he looked back, he could only see darkness, Su Chen had no way of determining whether the steps under his feet were one step at a time, digging directly downward, or showing a spiral, constantly rotating downward.
It's just that, whether this step is a step by step or a spiral that circles around, after walking so many steps, it should have gone very deep into the ground at this time.
However, the surrounding environment has not changed in the slightest.
Except when I looked up, I could no longer see the layers of sandstone covers, but only darkness.
Su Chen suddenly remembered that when he was with May before, he seemed to have experienced this kind of darkness once. Immediately after, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he picked out two levitating lights from the chaotic space.
No, he just lit up the two levitating lights and let them float on his and "senior sister", and the senior sister sent him an idea: "Put away those two broken things!" Don't you think our target is big enough? ”
Su Chen was startled, hurriedly flipped his palm, and put away the two cute floating lights. Although he couldn't see it, only relying on the pink fabric he was holding tightly in his hand, Su Chen could strangely feel the muscles of the "senior sister" tense all over her body, as if she was facing a great enemy, ready to fight at any time.
Su Chen also quietly touched a few talismans and pinched them in the palm of his hand, thinking that as long as the "senior sister" made a move with someone, he would give full support.
I didn't want to think that after a while, Senior Sister suddenly relaxed, and let out a long breath, suddenly grabbed Su Chen and jumped down the steps!
Su Chen was startled, Emma, I don't know how deep it is, I dare to jump directly! Sister, you're so good at playing with your life!
Floating in the air for a while, maybe the time spent in the air was only a short moment, but in Su Chen's feelings, it was extremely long. Eventually, the two landed on the ground in a flutter. Unscathed. Not even such a thing as a broken foot happened.
Su Chen felt like he was in a dream.
However, the warm fingers of the senior sister were still grasping his arm, and he clearly knew that he was not dreaming, and the sound of his heartbeat became clearer and louder in the quiet darkness, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Senior Sister" suddenly approached Su Chen's ear, and whispered in an extremely light, extremely soft voice: "Follow me, don't fall behind!" ”
Su Chen's ears were red, and he nodded busily, and he didn't know if it was so dark, whether the senior sister could see it. He really wanted to take out the levitation lamp for lighting, but after all, he didn't want to make his senior sister angry, so let's forget it first!
For such a decisive jump of the senior sister just now, Su Chen admired it very much. If he was to choose, he would probably just continue to walk down the endless steps, all the way down, when it would come to an end, and when it would be over.
However, although he landed on the flat ground at this time, Su Chen was still a little curious in his heart, what did the end of the endless staircase look like?
The senior sister suddenly began to chant some words, and then suddenly shouted: "Burn!" ”
Su Chen witnessed a miracle again—their feet suddenly lit up.
In the center of the circle, where they stood, one after another bright and dazzling circular traces stretched out in all directions, one circle after another, one ring after another. The distance between each of the two rings is about half a meter.
It made Su Chen feel as if he was standing on the stage of an advertisement like a big roll or lollipop...... Or can it be said that the circles of bright ore embedded in the ground seem to simulate the swirling moon in the sky?
"Senior Sister" pulled Su Chen's arm and motioned him to pay attention in one direction.
