Chapter 343: The Top of the Phantom Mountain: Ascending Star

"When you came, did you notice that there was a mountain around the king's house? How can there be a tunnel here? One of the team members muttered, looking at the fault between the secret passage and the "cave" with a puzzled expression, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the secret passage is halfway completed.

The end of the dark passage looks like a cave if it looks like it from a distance, but it wasn't until they got closer that they realized that it was actually a tunnel, and combined with the unfinished dark passage they had just walked through, they guessed that it might be that the person who built this dark passage found that there was a tunnel in front of them, and then they didn't bother to repair it, and connected this naturally generated tunnel with the dark passage.

If this is the case, then they can basically conclude that the owner of this secret passage and even this tunnel is not the lord of the Extremely Cold Country, because the lord of the Extremely Cold Country is definitely not this kind of "informal" person, and the person who built this secret passage does not know what the intention is, but he is definitely not for the sake of beauty, otherwise he will definitely not let the dark passage end.

For the question of the team member just now, the other team members shook their heads, although Gong Piqing did not answer, but he had the clearest answer to this question, when he tried to fly directly to the top of the palace as Nidhogg, he had basically overlooked the entire palace from a high altitude and the scale, if there was a mountain around the palace or a mountain in the palace, he would definitely notice, but he didn't find a shadow of the "mountain" at all.

At that time, his position was so high, and his eyesight in the "Nidhogg" state was terrifying, not to mention mountains, even if there were some ornamental rockeries or large rocks around the palace or in the palace, he could see it.

But he could not explain why there was a secret tunnel in the palace that connected to a natural tunnel, even though there were no mountains around the palace......

But they had no other way to go, and if they felt that the tunnel was unsafe, they would have to go back the way they came, and although there might really be a closed door to the rest of the hall where the bell had been placed, how they could get back into that hall was a problem, and if the statues of the two knights were now guarding the door of the secret door, and when they were about to reach the small door, they suddenly stabbed into the corridor with the long crosssword, then wouldn't they just become a string of "people"? "It's really not good to go in and have a look, it would be nice if we could really run out of the palace from here, anyway, now that we've found the palace, the captain can fly directly with us to the sky, and then take them by surprise with an airborne landing above the palace, since we won't be allowed to fly up directly from the palace, but let's fly up from the outside and then parachute into the headquarters......" one of the team members proposed.

The queen smiled bitterly from Gong Piqing's mind to express her helplessness at this proposal, but she did not tell Gong Piqing whether this tunnel could be entered, except for stones in the tunnel, there was no danger no matter how you looked at it, if this place could really let them bypass the traps and traps in the palace and get out of the palace, it would not be a bad thing for them.

So Gong Piqing nodded his head in recognition of the team member, and then he took the lead and walked forward with the team members into the tunnel.

When they first saw the tunnel, they thought it was a naturally formed tunnel, but the further they went, the more they felt that the tunnel was dug out by hand, the overall width and height of the tunnel were basically the same, except for the uneven stones on both sides, there were basically no other traces of natural formation, and there were many broken stones on the ground of the tunnel, which may prove that these broken stones were left by the people who excavated the tunnel during construction.

Since this tunnel was not built by the official people of the palace, then the person who built this tunnel must have "other plans", right? Maybe even the staff inside the palace and even the lords of the Extremely Cold Country don't know about the existence of this tunnel, and they can really bypass many traps through this tunnel......

But these were Gong Piqing's "idealized imaginations", and he didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he knew that if he continued to dream like this, the queen should talk about him again.

The team members walked slowly forward as if they had just run out of strength, and only their monotonous footsteps were left in the empty tunnel, and they heard a sound of falling to the ground behind them halfway through, and when they looked back, it turned out that the mage seemed to have lost his strength and fell down, this mage was very wrong from just now, probably in that forest when the high temperature created by Gong Piqing hit him hard, and the team members were focused on escaping along the way, and they really didn't notice that this weak guy had fallen behind, This is also fortunate that he has survived until now, if he fell when the two knight statues chased them just now, it is estimated that the consequences will be unimaginable......

"Big brother!" A member of the team exclaimed, and hurried over to check his situation, this guy's skin was very red after he came out of the illusion, and he didn't know that it was as if this guy had fallen into a light red dye vat, but in fact it was just his burned skin, and the high temperature created by Gong Piqing at that time didn't know how many degrees, and the team members' uniforms were always in triple digits, although they also saw that this mage conjured a protective shield for himself when he couldn't hold it anymore, But they didn't expect that his protective shield was actually inferior to their suits.

The mage had been moaning and moaning in pain since he was woken up by a member of the team, his skin was red, probably because he had sweated when he ran wildly just now, no one knew what it would be like to go through a strenuous exercise and sweat in this kind of burn situation, and no one knew what kind of perseverance this guy had relied on to hold on until now, but fortunately, it was cool enough in this tunnel, and their water and food were enough, so it was also a good choice to take a short break in this tunnel.

So the team members all played the role of "team doctor" and "nanny", Gong Piqing stayed by his side and was responsible for acting as a "mobile spring", and a few team members couldn't help much, so they summoned the reconnaissance drone function of the battle suit, intending to control the drone to fly forward along the tunnel for a distance to explore the road, and for a while there was only the mage's painful groans, groans and the "buzzing" sound of the reconnaissance drone flying in the tunnel.

But what they didn't expect was that the team members who used the reconnaissance drone had just flown the drone out and discovered the situation, because they didn't expect that the exit of this tunnel was not far in front of them, and according to the description of the team members, the scene at the exit seemed to be completely beyond their imagination......

So they had to toss the mage again, and before he could rest well, they carried him up again, since the exit was in front, they might as well go to the exit to see what the situation was and then let him rest, after all, the body of the team members was not iron, and the high temperature created by Gong Piqing at that time was even a little unbearable for them, and everyone was somewhat scalded, and they themselves also needed to rest.

Sure enough, they walked a few minutes further along the tunnel before they saw the exit of the tunnel, and just like the team described, the scene at the exit was not only beyond the imagination of all of them, but could even be described as a "miracle"-

I saw that the exit of this tunnel was located halfway up a mountain, and the height of this mountain was very abrupt in the whole group of mountains, so they stood at the exit of the tunnel and could see countless mountains stretching to the end of their eyes, and they did not know whether there were hundreds of mountains or thousands of mountains or more, anyway, once they left this tunnel, they would fall into an endless group of mountains.

However, this was not the most shocking to them, and everyone's attention was on the slowly rising stones in the air; Because in front of their eyes, in this endless group of mountains, there are countless stones like stars rising from the mountains below, these stones are like hot air balloons with "anti-gravitational" properties, and they are slowly flying towards the air, from where they are, in the mountains, in the mountains, in the sky, in the sky...... It's all dense with stones!

These stones are big and small, the big ones can probably be stood on them as an empty island, the small ones can be held by them in their hands, even under their feet, there are many stones slowly rising, and even some team members reach out to touch them, the touch is the same as ordinary stones, but no one knows how they ascended, and no one knows what position they want to rise.

The stones in the air blocked out the sunlight and made the noon day look like the evening, but they quickly reacted that it was not noon at all, it was clearly evening! Although there were no known number of stones floating in the sky, they could still see the dark blue sky, and this was not a royal palace!
