Chapter 190: Under the Rift
Thor asked Ann to continue her collection before turning into a feather and floating underground.
He didn't take a quicker approach to sinking, as Ann's concept of a bottomless pit, and the abundance of inert black powder in the soil, made Thor act cautiously.
A feathering technique that consumes almost no mana to maintain.
After descending for about a hundred meters, Thor noticed that the rift had not narrowed, and that it was about the same width as the one he had seen when he had just fallen to the ground.
After descending another hundred meters, he found the remains of a half-white bone monster in the soil next to him, and then instructed Xiaozao to gnaw out the bones embedded in the stone crevices.
Algae enjoyed the job very much, and found it as if it were a treasure hunt, so he searched the cliffs on both sides without Thor's instructions.
Because Thor didn't descend quickly, and the algae's mouth was very sharp, he soon gnawed out a few more pieces of the remains of the bone monster.
It's just that Thor soon didn't have the energy to pay attention to Xiaozae's movements.
After descending another 500 meters, a palpitating sensation suddenly rushed into his brain.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at his feet.
It was still pitch black below, and the sun above couldn't reach it at all. And Thor's mental power still can't be explored.
As Ann said, it seems to be a bottomless rift, and all that can be gained by continuing to fall is to continue falling.
"How could there suddenly be such a deep crack here? Could it be that this place was once attacked by a fourth-order wizard, or was it something else? ”
As for what kind of world the Chaos Domain was and what continent it belonged to, Thor had already guessed in his heart.
He suspected that this might be the unlucky continent that was directly swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss.
Otherwise, there's no way to explain the pollution that floods the continent with the Kuroshio Current, even though it's inert to black powder.
If the Chaos Domain is just a continent, then its area is limited, and its depth should be limited.
If this bottomless rift really runs through the entire continent, then what's underneath the continent?
And what does this new space represent? Why did Sander's ancestors have the key to this place?
Out of caution about the Kuroshio, Thor has not deliberately explored the truth of the entire chaotic domain. But now that he needed more bone monsters to fight against Flim's strength, and now that he had found this rift, he naturally wanted to try to explore.
Thor continued to fall, and he didn't know how much he had fallen.
Because of the darkness and the absence of contrasts around them, the concept of time and space began to blur.
Thor didn't know how long he had been descending, and suddenly the soles of his feet seemed to step on something.
But in his psychic perception, there should be nothing here.
The body feels like it's at the bottom, but the mental power doesn't think so.
Do you want to continue to decline?
Thor didn't hesitate, he chose to continue.
Because there was nothing here, only some bone remains, it was not so important compared to the secret of this rift.
He stomped on the soles of his feet a little harder, and then ...... Didn't step on it.
He uses his magic to try to explore the underground.
As in the Lost Corridor, the magic is absorbed and disappears.
"The material of the Lost Corridor is the same as here? Or is it cognate or cognate ”
Thor stopped, then sat casually on the ground.
Although it was dark here, although it had descended deeply, it was still a chaotic area, there were no enemies around, and elemental particles were also lazily floating in the air.
Instead, a quiet, safe darkroom is formed.
This dark room is great for meditation and also for contemplation.
"Magic will be absorbed, and mental power can penetrate. Then if you use the out-of-body method, it should theoretically be possible to pass through this compartment. ”
But Saul was in no hurry to try.
"After all, this place is full of Kuroshio pollution, and even inert people can't be treated casually. It's not appropriate to be out of body here. Let's test it first. ”
Thor remembered that he had used the Fate Line through the right-angled gap between the two corridors in the Lost Corridor, and found Stuart, who had been secretly imprisoned by Flim.
Maybe there's a gap here too, where the thread of fate can pass through.
This time, Saul carefully considered the feasibility of the plan and felt that it was okay to give it a try. Moreover, the fate line runs faster than the soul body, and it can be evacuated in time in case of danger.
Thor reached out in the darkness and pressed lightly on the ground where he was sitting.
This ground is smooth and level, unlike the earth, which not even stone bricks can do.
It's like a layer of glass, or a layer of plastic film.
Thor tries to tap the membrane with the thread of fate. Then you feel the touch as if you are tapping your fingers on the glass.
He pushed a little harder, and the line of fate had not penetrated through.
"If it was a complete compartment, I am afraid that my current fate line would not be able to break through. Are there no gaps? ”
Sol poked out countless fate threads from the palms of both hands, spreading towards the surroundings of the gap, and soon filled the space within a radius of ten meters.
"The black powder here will more or less isolate the range of spiritual power detection, and if you explore it from a distance, the consumption will be relatively large." Thor stood up, and he decided to measure the bottom of the rift with his feet.
The lowest layer of the fissure is not a cone, it is still a long fissure, even the width is the same as the upper surface.
This reinforces his initial idea: this is a completely disconnected "cookie", trying to get close to the gap left by the time they come together.
Relative to the breadth of the entire continent, this rift, which is less than five meters wide, is really like the gap left in the middle when the two halves of the biscuits are reunited.
And this membrane under the land is somewhat like ...... The glue used to stick the cookies!
"It's better to be cautious, don't tear the glue apart, and let there be any problems in the chaotic domain."
Considering the stability of the continent of Chaos, Thor did not try to break the barrier on the soles of his feet with violence, but walked forward in one direction, while constantly testing the bottom with the fate line, looking for possible gaps.
After walking underground for nearly an hour, just as Thor was thinking about whether to go up and report Ann's safety before continuing his search, one of his fate lines suddenly disappeared.
Thor hurriedly sensed the location of that section of the fate line, and it turned out to be about a meter away from the mountain on his side.
There, there is a small tear in the diaphragm. It's very small, maybe the tip of the needle is big, and only by scanning and testing the fate line almost without dead angles can you be lucky enough to find this rift.
"It's as difficult as threading a needle with your eyes closed. Small algae, bite through it! ”
The rift was pressed by the mountain, but fortunately it was not too far from Thor and the algae could easily open a passage.
After opening a fist-thick passage, Thor's mental power was able to scan the state of the rift more clearly.
Like the smooth diaphragm beneath his feet, there is a smooth compartment beneath the mountain, or the continent. This compartment may even be spread across the entire Chaos Continent.
Thor took a deep breath and carefully followed his senses along the vanishing line of fate to explore the world beneath the diaphragm.
Then, he snapped his eyes open.
After passing through the rift beneath the rift, it was as if he had come to an infinite universe!
It's quiet, it's vast, and it's impossible to tell the distance all around...... The stars are twinkling.
