"The Gate of the Secret Realm is not completely invalid."

"Although it is only in XZ Province, it is also an extremely important thing."

Seeing everyone's shocked head-to-ear.

Bai Yu, who was the chief of internal affairs, followed closely and added.

If the Gate of the Secret Realm is completely invalid, the matter is really big.

Eternal Day's Global Rapid Support System (RSS) will not collapse completely, but at least it will prevent Eternal Day from being able to arrive in time for most occasions as before.

Fortunately, it didn't collapse completely.

Otherwise, they would have to be forced to disturb the leader who was refining the weapon.

"Wasn't it the Wind and Sand Enchantment of the third-level spiritual power level peak monster before, which affected the space in the entire XZ Province and caused the secret realm gate to fail?"

"Now that it's all over, why is the Gate of the Secret Realm still invalidating there?"

A member of the Rapid Reaction Force stood up and said in confusion.

He didn't know much about the wind-sand barrier in PL County, but he probably knew a little about it.

The wind-blown sand barrier is gone.

The monsters were all smashed by Gosla's hammer.

Why is the Gate of the Realm still unusable?!

"After the disappearance of the Wind and Sand Enchantment, the Gate of the Secret Realm also returned to normal use, so we thought that the Gate of the Secret Realm was affected by the Wind and Sand Barrier at first."

"But then it turned out that something was wrong."

"The comrades in XZ Province have sent a notice, and after the Wind and Sand Barrier has disappeared for a while, the Gate of the Secret Realm has once again fallen into a period of failure."

"There seems to be a mysterious power in the province of XZ, which makes the space there constantly change, so that the secret realm gate can sometimes be used, and sometimes it is not used at all."

Bai Yu then explained.

Everyone couldn't help but narrow their eyes when they heard this.

In other words, the failure of the Gate of the Secret Realm is not due to the wind-blown sand barrier that occurred in PL County, Al Region, XZ Province?

Is it some mysterious force influence?

This made everyone feel the seriousness of this incident.

In the XZ region, there are special beings that can affect the Gate of the Secret Realm, and they are still ignorant of this existence.

"Could it be some kind of existence that was smuggled in by the way during this abyss invasion, and after that, it has been lurking since it evaded the detection of the spirit net."

Dreif raised his hand to offer his thoughts.

He had seen the core of the spirit net monitoring system, but he didn't understand the technology in it, so he reasonably maintained a certain degree of skepticism.

And this thought of his made Bai Yu nod.

"In short, as members of Eternal Day, we will not rule out any possibilities."

"Our task at the moment is to find out why! And figure out how to fix it! ”

Bai Yu said, revealing a serious look.

Hearing this, everyone present subconsciously straightened their waists.

"You are all elites from the Rapid Reaction Force and the Lunar Research Branch, and the next mission is mainly up to you."

"You're going to be divided into groups for a carpet search, each with members of the Rapid Reaction Force and members of the Lunar Research Division."

"The Rapid Reaction Force is responsible for handling emergencies at any time, and the personnel of the Lunar Scientific Research Division are responsible for finding out the cause from the technical level."

"The empty island of Damocles at your feet is now parked in the outer area of XZ Province, which will be the transit point of this operation, and the specific arrangements and grouping have been sent to everyone's raven."

"Now, adjourn."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone left in response.

Prepare for the next mission.

Only Bai Jingjing, the minister of the discipline and law department, who walked in with Bai Yu, and the Dorif duo with Liu Xinyue did not leave.

"Chief, don't you let the big guys in the organization come directly to solve this kind of thing?"

Drif raised an eyebrow, a little curious about the interior chief's arrangement.

"At present, it is only the secret realm gate that has failed in this area, and there is no danger clearly manifested, and there is no need to use high-level combat power."

"It's also a kind of continuing to exercise everyone."

"Besides, isn't Bai Jingjing, Minister of Discipline and Law, still here?"

Bai Yu said, pointing to Bai Jingjing, who had been silent, beside him and said.

Hearing this, Dorif also nodded.

First, there is no danger for the time being, and it is necessary to exercise the people below.

The second is that the boss of the organization is not here, Bai Jingjing is staying here at the moment.

Don't look at Bai Jingjing, there is only about the third level of middle and high stage.

But Dryf knows very well how terrifying the specific strength of this Bai Jingjing is.

It can be said that he is worthy of being a disciple taught by the leader, and his strength can be said to be invincible.

It couldn't break the fur of the Minister of Discipline and Law for half a day with the Storm Tomahawk.

And even if this Bai Jingjing is not good, this empty island of Damocles floating on the periphery of XZ can be used as a teleportation transfer station at any time to directly pick up the other bigwigs in the organization.

Seeing that Dreyfu basically had no doubts, Bai Yu looked at Liu Xinyue and smiled:

"I've heard that your perception is very special."

"Do you want to train systematically?"

Obviously, Bai Yu has the idea of wanting to recruit immediately for this special awakened person who can hear the existence of the Fusang tree.

If Eternal Day had such an Awakened with such a special perception ability, it would not only be more efficient to explore the XZ region in the future, but it would also be of great benefit in the following daily tasks.

Looking at Bai Yu's smile, Liu Xinyue couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously.

She probably knew why she was suddenly given an eternal day.

……………………………………

Slowly open your eyes.

Vons Maynard felt a little lost.

Obviously, he didn't seem to be swallowed up by the wind and sand.

But there is no place in my body that does not hurt.

In addition to the many scabs that had scabbed, a strong feeling of dying of thirst lingered in his heart.

His chapped, aching lips reminded him of that all the time.

As far as the eye can see, I should be in a very strange place.

Just from the view of the lying down, this is probably a cave, or rather a passage.

The left and right sides are temporarily enclosed, and only the front and back directions that extend into darkness are not enclosed.

There was no light, but I don't know why he could see it.

There was a faint feeling of congestion in his head that reminded Maynard that his physical state seemed to be slightly headless and toe at the moment.

It's just that vons Maynard, who was lying on the ground, could only look at the somewhat sloping ceiling of the cave in a daze.

He tried to get up, but he couldn't move because he was so limp that he couldn't move.

Glancing hard at the chronograph on his wrist, the one he subconsciously pressed when he encountered a huge wind and sand.

Now, 74 hours have passed.

To put it into account, that is, he has been fainting for more than three days.

If it weren't for the fact that his close-fitting clothes were special technology that could hold the nutrient solution, it would automatically stick a needle out of the inside of the clothing to inject a small amount of nutrient solution when there was no pause command.

I'm afraid that even if he hadn't been blown to death by the wind and sand, buried to death, he would have died of hunger and thirst long ago.

"I'm not even dead......"

"It's really fateful!"

Vons Maynard saw that he could not get up for the time being, so he simply lay on the ground and muttered.

He was an explorer.

A professional explorer!

A few months ago, he had traveled from abroad because of the legend of Shambhala.

Shambhala is a saying that comes from some Buddhist scriptures.

According to the description in Tibetan Buddhist scriptures, Shambhala is a place full of waterfalls and sweet springs.

It is said to be rich in abundance, peace, and wisdom, and it is said to be the legendary Pure Land of Bliss, a paradise, an ideal country, and an underground civilization......

Mustache tries to find Shambhala during World War II, in a vain attempt to obtain mysterious and powerful power from it to reverse his defeat.

The entrance to Shambhala has been sought many years ago, and explorers from all over the world have visited the land many times.

But no one has ever actually found Shambhala.

The expedition will never find that subterranean kingdom because it is something out of mythology and religious prophecy, not a tangible location on a physical level.

This is just a legend that has been passed down for many years, and today the legend of Shambhala is nothing more than a reflection of the culture and heritage of the XZ region.

Nowadays, as a young explorer.

After reading several conspiracy theories from the Western world about some of the plans of the late mustache, Vons Maynard resolutely embarked on such a path in pursuit of Shambhala.

He didn't want to be like the mustache and find the so-called axis of the world in Shambhala that could turn back time.

He just wanted to prove that he could find anything that really existed in the world, not even the mustache's secret service force.

Even if you can't find it, you have to go to every corner of the XZ region for the first time to draw an end to this legend that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Maynard wants to prove that he's the best!

So, after coming to Huaguo XZ Province for a few months, he finally decided to officially embark on an exploration of various places in XZ Province three days ago.

Maynard's first stop was the legendary and most popular possible entrance to Shambhala – Kailash!

Kailash, located in the territory of Baga commune, northern PL county, al region, western province of xz province. Its central location is around 81.3°176′ east longitude and 31°176′ north latitude.

Kailash is the main peak of Mount Gangdis, the highest peak in the western section of the Gangdis Mountains (between the Kunlun Mountains in the north and the Himalayas in the south), one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, and is recognized as the "center of the world" by Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, the XZ original religion Bon and the ancient Jainism.

Kailash is 6,714 meters above sea level, and the mountain is composed of Neogene conglomerate rocks, and is a steep-walled, cone-shaped "pyramid-shaped" mountain.

Even for vons Maynard, who has climbed Mount Everest, exploring this place is quite a challenge.

This is not only because of the steepness of Kailash itself, but also because Vons Maynard had to explore every corner of Kailash as much as possible in order to find the entrance to Shambhala.

Although Kailash, as a sacred mountain of Tibetan Buddhism, has a rule that you cannot set foot on it casually, Vons Maynard still easily crossed over and was only guarded by some monks.

Although there have been many explorers who have not followed the route after applying for the exploration qualification, they died directly shortly after leaving Mount Kailash.

But Maynard didn't believe this, and resolutely began to explore alone.

And while he was exploring the mountain alone, the unexpected happened suddenly.

Endless wind and sand suddenly enveloped everything at some point.

Even he, an experienced explorer, couldn't help but feel fear.

The sudden wind and sand made him lose all vision in an instant, without any defense.

He didn't take out protective measures in time, so he could only curl up as much as possible, hugging and protecting his face, ears and neck.

But even so, the wind and sand still left blood marks on his hands.

This made Maynard, who was struggling to support himself in the wind and sand, feel that this place really had magical powers.

It's a pity that it seems too late to regret coming here now. Maynard, who had persevered in the wind and sand until he was exhausted, only had time to press the timer before he fell unconscious, and he was no longer conscious.

And when Maynard woke up again.

It's now, almost a full three days later.

Confusion naturally emerges unconsciously.

He didn't know why he was here, or why he was alive.

Perhaps, it was the wind and sand that blew itself here and allowed it to hide from it?

But why is there no wind and sand on his body?

Maynard was silent for a long time, choosing to wait for his body to recover as much as possible so that he could explore the current situation.

It wasn't long before his immobile body finally had some feedback on the commands from Maynard's brain.

After many attempts, Maynard stood up in pain and exhaustion.

After taking the initiative to prick himself with the usual nutrient solution on his waist, he observed his situation.

There is not a single sand on the ground here.

Maynard's guess that he was being blown in by the wind and sand was clearly self-defeating.

And when he looked around, he was suddenly stunned.

It is a long, narrow cave.

Left and right, up and down are sealed barriers.

The front and back are the road with no end in sight, and it is all darkness that cannot be seen clearly.

Although the upper and lower barriers here are five or six meters high, and the left and right barriers are also seven or eight meters apart, this long downward passage does not seem to be narrow.

But it still makes people feel a little closed.

Even vons Maynard, who is not claustrophobic, can't help but swallow saliva at this moment, but he can't secrete saliva at all.

Over here...... Where?

In this slightly sloping passage.

Maynard fell into a deep confusion.

He didn't want to know how he came to be at the moment, he just wanted to know how he was going to leave.

The surrounding rocks appear to be lower-level rock formations, and they may be underground at the moment.

So if you go back, should you follow this path upward?

Thinking in silence.

Maynard, who was slowly recovering his strength, suddenly reacted to something.

He looked back and forth, and made sure that the long passage was sloping and going up and down like a staircase.

I couldn't help but have a flash of excitement in my eyes.

Could it be ......

Is this the path to the center of the earth?

This is the entrance to Shambhala?

I just woke up here after being blown out by the inexplicable wind and sand?

When such speculation came to mind, Maynard couldn't help but look with a hint of anticipation at the darkness at the end of the passage that stretched downward.

Anyway, how it came.

Or......

Go down and see?

The courage and curiosity that led Maynard to embark on the path of an explorer made Maynard feel reluctantly forced to make such a decision.
