Chapter 231: Underground
After a few steps, as the distance approached, the seemingly smooth boulder staircase finally revealed its true face, but it was made of pieces of rubble glued together.
Where the surface of the staircase looked like a shadow from afar, it had also turned into some kind of slightly bulging brown mark, and Alan crouched down to take a closer look, "It seems to be the product of some kind of animal slime solidification." ”
"It's animal slime instead of blood?" Wang Zhen also squatted down, playing with the taste.
"It seems that it's not the twisted human forms in the longhouse that go down the stairs to the depths, it's the strange creatures that are popping up here, and things are getting interesting. ”
The stone walls on the inside of the staircase were covered with long and dense depressions, and were smeared with a thick layer of gray mud, and the deep caverns in the ground on the outside were like abysses that could not be seen through at all.
Who, for what purpose, and when were the ruins of this magnitude built?
This question crossed everyone's minds at the same time.
"Let's go. Wang Zhen took the lead in straightening his waist, and the four of them glanced at each other, still led by Wang Zhen in front, followed by Lucy, Shirley, and Allen still in the back, and released the last Eagle Falcon detector to chase towards the underground solar furnace.
In the light curtain, the falcon's field of vision was also extremely single-handed, and it was all occupied by stairs.
As time passed, Alan's face became darker.
Fortunately, the three people in front of him didn't notice his anomaly.
I don't know how long it took, but the team became quieter and quieter, and only the rustling sound between the footsteps and the stone stairs was the sound between walking.
How long is this staircase, and how it seems that it will never be finished.
Lucy thought as she involuntarily looked out of the slate, the deep black hole and the staircase that disappeared into the darkness in circles, like a hypnotic monotonous scene, made her gaze slowly glaze.
His footsteps began to slowly move outward.
Two minutes later, Lucy's left foot was standing on the edge of the stone staircase, and she fell backwards.
"Whew", the wind burst out, and Wang Zhen, who noticed that something was wrong, turned his head for the first time, and saw that his childhood sweetheart had gone to the abyss.
"Lucy, be careful!" Wang Zhen's left arm poked out like lightning, and instantly grabbed Luxi's right hand, and returned to the top of the stairs in a roundabout way.
Lucy, who was a little confused, suddenly came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes were stunned, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"I ...... What happened to me?"
Wang Zhen gently squeezed Lucy's palm to show comfort, and at the same time turned back to Shirley and Allen and said, "I'm afraid this ladder is weird. ”
Alan stepped forward and nodded, "Yes, with Lucy's mental power, she will never be distracted when she is in a hurry, and according to our speed, it is at least three or four thousand meters deep at this time, and it is impossible for any kind of artificial ancient ruins to have such a depth - the most important thing is that the Falcon Scout has lost contact with it ten minutes ago." ”
"What?" all three of them were startled.
"When I lost contact, I just felt very natural, and it seemed that I didn't need a warning at all. "It seems that since then we have been disturbed by some inexplicable force.
"Maybe I should have announced it to you earlier, when the falcon had flown for hours without seeing the bottom, but I hesitated for a moment and decided to take a look. ”
Shirley also said, "Since just now, I have carried the teleportation sigil and flashed red light every few minutes, and each time the red light lasts for a few seconds, it is when the sigil fails, and my thought at the time was that it would return to normal in a few seconds anyway, so there is no need to say it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the four of them felt a cold sweat flowing down their heads.
Then the eyes of the three of them looked at Wang Zhen in unison.
"I don't understand why the three of you have been silent, but other than that, I don't notice anything out of the ordinary. Wang Zhen shrugged.
At this time, Alan suddenly said faintly, "Roland, you were pulling something with your left hand at the time, so what about the joy of fire that should have been above your left hand?"
This time it was no longer a cold sweat, the four of them felt that the cold hairs of the vest had completely stood up, and a strange emotion mixed with fear spread rapidly in the bottom of their hearts like crazy weeds.
The two girls with slightly inferior minds opened their eyes and mouths wide for a moment, and their hearts contracted suddenly, as if they were tightly held by an invisible hand, revealing painful expressions.
"Hold on to the spiritual platform, the evil spirits retreat, and the old man is as anxious as the law!"
Wang Zhen shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt on the ground, magic power and battle intent burst out at the same time, all the stone stairs within thirty meters were shattered, and only a small piece of the place where the four people were standing fell down and smashed on the stairs below.
Under this thunderous roar, a clear light appeared in the eyes of the other three people, and Lucy and Allen even helped Wang Zhen at the same time.
"Grandma's, almost planted in this place. Wang Zhen's whole person was like collapse, and his head was full of stinky sweat.
His roar was a subconscious act, so he didn't spare his hand, and instantly consumed all the magic power and battle intent in his body.
"Just now I just felt a cramping pain in my heart, almost shattered, thanks to the small ...... Roland's loud roar, by the way, Roland, what kind of spell did you roar just now, why have I never heard it. Lucy asked fearfully.
"I'm going to use Swift Meditation. Wang Zhen smiled bitterly, waved his hand to signal that now was not the time to talk about this, and then quickly sat down, swallowed a bottle of magic recovery potion provided by Shirley's friendship, and revealed the matter.
It was impossible for him to tell the three of them that he was a time-traveler, and that he had encountered a terrifying and strange incident in the original world, and it was these two spells he learned from the TV series that he escaped with his life.
If the Buddha and Taishang Laojun heard that someone combined the mantras of his two teachings into one sentence, I was afraid that they would not use the ghosts, and directly add a blessing to Wang Zhen in the air, and God would be damned to death.
While Wang Zhen was pranayama, Alan called Lucy and Shirley and began to discuss their next move.
"There's only a very clever spatial magic hidden in this spiral staircase, and we're either spinning in place or not in the underground space at all. ”
"Speaking of which, I've heard from the elders of the family before. In ancient times, there was a master magician known as the Hand of the Spiral, who thought of the serpent mark of the ancient sage Ouroboros and invented a unique circular magic that could place people in an endless vortex of time and space. Shirley's erudition seems to have been taken for granted by several people.
"What's even worse is that in the legend, he was ambushed and killed by several undead masters, and before he died, he fearlessly revealed himself, turning his whole body magic into an 'endless staircase', and the six undead masters who ambushed him were all trapped in it, and never appeared in the world again. ”
"You mean...... We're in the middle of that endless staircase now?"
