It was still overcast.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Benin always feels that today's clouds are lower than yesterday's, from the mind to the body, as if they have been pressed to the limit, which makes people feel a kind of breathless heaviness and depression.

The Guards Regiment was busy erecting the plank road, and after a few days of surveying, it was found that around the cliff, there was an intermittent stone path, which seemed to lead to the bottom of the abyss, but the continuity was very poor, even for well-trained soldiers, it was difficult to pass, not to mention the old and weak of the two divine courts.

But Benin's biggest concern was not this, it was just a night's work, and he felt that the sense of ominous crisis was stronger, as if there was something real squeezing his whole body, up to his bones.

Of course, since yesterday's conversation with Jerome and Riva, he also has to admit that what the two said also has a certain truth, Rong Ma so far, even if he was alone against the 100,000 army of the Yanyang tribe in the Thunder Fortress, he has never had such a strong sense of crisis, in other words, what kind of danger is enough to surpass the 100,000 army?

Benin's mind was full of doubts and fears, uncertainty and worry almost squeezed his head, but there was no substance on all sides, this complex emotion almost drove him crazy, but he couldn't, the whole action was up to him, unlike in the past, he was able to risk his life to fight, this time the burden was heavier.

He could only keep pacing on the top of the cliff, unconsciously smashing those tiny rocks with his steel boots to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

"Lord Benin. A knight ran to his feet on the paved plank road and saluted: "The upper part of the plank road has been paved, and the back one is still exploring, and it can go about three hundred meters deep." ”

Benin exhaled silently, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask the priest, you inform the vanguard to investigate the troops, not only the terrain, but also to pay attention to any abnormalities." ”

After speaking, without waiting for his subordinates to respond, he turned around and strode towards the camp.

Before they reached the door, Jerome and Riva had already come out of the curtain.

Jerome has taken off the thick cotton smock and put on a solemn crimson Shenting priest robe, the golden pattern embroidery thread on the shoulders and sides of the garment still shines even in such weather, the scepter held in his right hand was made by more than a dozen top craftsmen hundreds of years ago, and the top is carved with a pure gold goddess statue, which is a special holy relic passed down from generation to generation in the Divine Court, and only the three major priests of the Divine Court can hold the status symbol on special occasions, and the clothes and the scepter are matched together, so that he swept away the previous weakness and old age, and the whole person looks serious and spiritual。

"Captain Benin, I guess we'll be able to go, right?" Jerome said with a wave of his hand to signal Benin's excuse from the courtesy.

"At present, the plank road has only been paved for about 300 meters, is it after all the paving?" Benin said: "In addition, the temperature in the canyon is very low, please pay attention to your body." ”

"Don't! go down right now, just lay as you go!" Jerome looked excited, and with a wave of his hand, he led the way to the top of the cliff, "Don't worry about me, I'm not that fragile yet." ”

At the top of the cliff, Jerome did not consult Benin at all, turned and climbed down the wooden ladder that had been erected the previous night, followed by Riva.

Benin looked at the two trembling people hanging on the wooden ladder more than ten meters high, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, not only the hidden danger, if the priest and the clerk fell into the abyss, then their lives would also come to an end.

However, unexpectedly, the stone path is not difficult to walk, and it is even much stronger than the soft plank road erected, the width is basically maintained at about two meters, and the small collapse is not serious.

Really went down to it, Benin only found that it seemed that it was not consistent with what was imagined before, because the various legends that have been circulated on the mainland since ancient times are too chaotic, and the versions are almost all different, so a considerable number of people have never believed in the so-called miracles in the source continent, he happens to belong to this part of the population, but now look at it, I am afraid that the so-called legend has its basis, after all, such a stone road to say that it is naturally formed, it is obviously unlikely.

At that time, the abyss looked like a natural rift, and there were no artificial traces at all, but after going deep for a distance, it was found that the inside of the abyss was obviously inverted cone, and the longer the distance extending downward, the closer the relative cliff wall was, it was very similar to the formation of the gods with a huge awl directly inserted into the mountain, and the degree of symmetry was astonishing.

The more Benin walked, the more I wondered, what kind of buildings would go deep into the mountains and reach the ground? At the same time, if he also understands why Jerome risked his life to go deep in person, I am afraid that there are more complex secrets inside, but he can't see it now.

Jerome was unusually energetic, trekking more than three hundred meters without resting once, and the smile on his face grew thicker and thicker, as if there was something in the abyss that had been supporting his weak body.

Riva's reaction was quite different from Jerome's, always thoughtful, with a rare seriousness on his face.

In this way, until the afternoon, including the plank road laid in the later stage, the depth distance has reached more than 400 meters, Jerome is old and frail, and finally shows fatigue, and stops from time to time to gasp for breath.

It seems that there is an arrangement in the dark, and the stone road in front of it actually has a platform with many protruding cliffs, with a diameter of nearly ten meters, which is simply a resting place made in heaven.

This situation is very similar to the gazebo in the royal courtyard, connected by corridors, and it would be a bit too much to say that it was a natural formation.

While Jerome and the others rested peacefully, Benin was not idle, observing the surrounding terrain around the platform.

There are irregular cracks at the edge of the platform, but on the whole, it is almost perfectly round, and it is obvious that the possibility of artificial construction has increased a lot.

But, in this case, is it really the so-called architecture of God?

Benin subconsciously shook his head, he felt that this statement was too nonsense.

But if this argument is ruled out, it seems that other directions do not make sense.

He subconsciously looked up, and now he looked again, as if he was in a huge well, the gloomy clouds pressed tightly against the mouth of the strange rocky and steep well, and the violent pressure almost covered the top of the well, making him feel cold all over, and he almost couldn't help but shiver.

Compared with the magnificent nature, no matter how strong a person is, he is really small and pitiful.

Benin took a deep breath and turned to look down, the deep abyss was far beyond the limit of his vision, and he couldn't see the end at all, like a sea of thick black ink, boundless spreading under his feet, and the platform was like an island floating between the sea and the sky, lonely and crumbling.

He was sighing, and suddenly found that at the bottom of the abyss, there seemed to be some faint blue light.

Benin was stunned for a moment, and quickly half-squatted down and leaned on the stone cliff to take a closer look.

Indeed, in the deepest part of the ink, there is a line of blue that is as bright as a dark, very inconspicuous, and would not have been perceptible if it were not for superhuman eyesight and care.

The blue color seemed to be some kind of liquid, and the light was fluid, much like a stream at the bottom.

Benin was feeling a little confused, and a guard quickly ran up from the stone path below, saluted: "Commander, the continuity of the stone path behind is very good, and it has been explored for about six hundred meters, and no abnormalities have been found for the time being. ”

"What the hell?" said Benin, turning, muttering.

"Nope. The guard lifted the covering, moved a little closer, and said in a low voice, "But ...... There seems to be something at the bottom that emits blue light!"

Really!

Benin frowned, "Can you be sure what it is?"

"Not right now. The guard raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat on his chin, "This is something that I accidentally discovered when I walked to a depth of six hundred meters, faintly, and I couldn't see it at all before." ”

Benin nodded, looked at the guards wiping his sweat in front of him, and then at the few people who were guarding around Jerome and the others, and couldn't help but show a satisfied and proud smile, "Got it, inform everyone to be careful, take shifts to eat." ”

The guard should be, and quickly returned to the bottom, Riva patted the crumbs of bread in his hand and stepped over, and said with a smile: "Commander Benin, can you go?"

Jerome sat by the fire in the middle of the stone platform and raised his voice, "Everyone hasn't eaten yet, let's eat first, don't be in a hurry at this meeting." ”

"We're short on time, Priest. Riva half-turned around and said with a smile: "Besides, didn't the head of Benin mention that it is very dangerous here, and the sooner it is finished, wouldn't it be better to go back as soon as possible?"

Benin glanced at Riva coldly, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Let's go!"
