Chapter 184: The Underground City
Yin Yan didn't let the disciple go down alone after all, and she also followed behind.
At first, it was only a gap made of collapsed columns, walls, and rubble, but after walking less than a distance, I found a relatively spacious flat ground. Of course, it is so dark that you can't see your fingers, and you can only perceive it by feeling.
"Teacher, it seems a little scary. Qin Yang said, "Think about it, if this is the original building ground, and all the ruins on it are collapsed, then how deep is this ruin? Before it collapsed, how big was the original building volume of this ruin!"
Yin Yan nodded, equally surprised.
In the past 20 days, the two of them have carried and excavated more than a dozen feet of deep pits in the ruins, but this is nothing at all. Because I walked down the tunnel just now, I am afraid that this way has been nearly a hundred feet.
In other words, the collapsed ruins alone are piled up with "construction waste" that is 100 feet deep - half a mile thick. So how magnificent these buildings were before they collapsed!
Qin Yang sighed with emotion: "I'm really curious, since the ancients have such a powerful ability, why did they build in this primeval demon abyss. If placed on the ground, these buildings are only equivalent to a royal city. ”
As he spoke, he slowly searched in this space of more than ten feet. Finally, at the edge of this space, Yin Yan found a pit.
"Here, it seems to be possible to go down, and it's a man-made tunnel. Yin Yan said, "If the place we are in is the flat ground of a building, then the part above that collapses is the part of the ground. The tunnel, which can be explored in front of you, leads to the underground of this ancient building. ”
Go down?
Gotta go down and take a look.
The entrance to the tunnel was half crushed by the collapsed building, but it was still easily accessible. When they stepped on the solid stone steps, both of them inexplicably felt a strange sense of steadiness in their hearts.
Because these days, all they tread under their feet is ruins. Now that the intact building has been found, undestroyed, and it is possible to discover something even more important!
It is a spiraling downward passage, extremely well preserved. It's just a pity that in this dark space, the two of them can't see any picture at all, so they can only grope their way forward. As for the depth of the descent, it is about ten or twenty zhang.
What made the two of them feel uneasy was that as they gradually descended, the only bit of soul power in their bodies disappeared little by little. It's daytime in the outside world, and they all retain the soul power of the upper grade of the Gathering Period. But now, it seems that these soul powers have also been gradually suppressed.
Yin Yan suddenly realized: "Perhaps, what is below here is the strange existence that suppresses our soul power. ”
"Because of the existence of this thing, our soul power on the ruins has been suppressed. It's just that during the day, I can recover a little. ”
"But now that we're getting closer to it, we're being repressed even more intensely. So much so that even though it was daytime in the outside world, the only soul power was dissipating. ”
Qin Yang agreed with such a point of view, and nodded: "Perhaps, something emanates from this underground space, causing our soul power to be suppressed. And you don't see why all those rats are living on the ground?"
"It stands to reason that those big beasts could easily burrow into that thick layer of ruins. But we dug so deep, and then we went down nearly a hundred feet, but we still didn't see a living thing. ”
"This may also mean that the rats can vaguely sense something coming from the tunnel, so they don't go underground at all. ”
It is entirely possible that this assumption is valid.
While the two were discussing, some bright light suddenly appeared in front of them, even brighter than the outside. When I turned a corner in this tunnel, my eyes suddenly opened up-
Boy!
Qin Yang and Yin Yan were stunned!
At the end of the tunnel is a stone platform, but it seems to be suspended in the air.
At your feet, there is a cylindrical open space, about a thousand feet high. The surroundings are similar to the shape of the Ancient Demon Abyss outside, and it should be an arc-shaped stone wall.
The whole space was full of crystalline green dots of light, and I didn't know what it was. It is these countless green points of light that make the eyes shine here. Each point of light is like a small lamp. It's just that this faint green color makes this place more and more weird, and that little bit of light is more like a ghostly fire.
However, none of this was what surprised Qin Yang the most. What really shocked the two of them was the dense complex of buildings on the ground thousands of feet away!
Here, there is a complete group of ancient buildings that look like a small city!
Incredible......
At the beginning, for some reason, there were no buildings left in the entire Qianyuan world, only some legends of only a few words, leaving only the shadow of scaly claws for future generations to guess.
But at this time, Qin Yang and Yin Yan saw a complete primeval dungeon!
The reason why it has always been concluded that this is something from the primeval period is very simple - this primeval demon abyss has existed since the historical records of the existence of the Qianyuan world, and it is regarded as a peerless domain. So, there is no force here that has made such a construction. Everything that exists here is what existed before the history of the Qianyuan world was recorded today, and it belongs to the primeval period, for sure.
If you look closely, this small city with a diameter of 200 zhang is about the same size as the ruins on the ground. It's too far away to see it very really, and I vaguely feel that there is a large hall in the center, and the surrounding areas are spread out one after another, and the large and small buildings are impossible to count at a glance.
As for the specific architectural style, it is not true, including the color style, it is impossible to determine. After all, they are thousands of feet away, and the light here can only be said to be visible, but it is not bright.
It must be an ancient relic left by the wise race, but it looks like a ghost town.
"Could it be that the primeval races all have such a strange hobby, and they actually live underground like big rats?" Qin Yang scratched his head and said, "You see, this is obviously not a basement where things are stored, but more like a place where human beings live and cultivate normally. ”
Yin Yan shook her head and said, "Not necessarily." According to the records of my reincarnation hall, it is said that the human race in the primeval period had a powerful soul cultivator, and there were even those who lived in the sky Liao Yu. Of course, we can't verify its authenticity. ”
"At present, it can only be speculated that the people of that time may have lived anywhere, and this primeval demon abyss is just one of the ways to survive. ”
Abide in heaven...... Are you kidding. It's understandable to live underground, but what the hell is it to live in heaven.
