Chapter 49: The Truth Underground
"Momo doesn't cry... It's okay, it's over," Jiang Ming hugged Momo and kept comforting.
"King, let's withdraw, this is a demon cave!"
"King, take us back, I want to go home!"
"Don't leave me alone, I'm so scared!"
.......
The stinky rats behind them also howled and cried, they had just experienced the most terrifying scene in the rat life, and all their companions were gone, and they fell into the mire.
Jiang Ming also realized that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, even if he had great pride in saving others, but the premise was to save his own life!
However...... Looking at the surroundings carefully, Jiang Ming gasped! The situation here ...... It's not as simple as you think!
The surging Hades fire is like a demon mirror that breaks through the miasma, and the things seen inside the firelight are completely different from everything you see outside the firelight, like two worlds that overlap!
Beyond the firelight, there were still the mangrove hillsides, weeds and shrubs, and within the firelight, there were gravel black soil, rotten mud and sand, and the sound of trembling running water....... It's like being on the banks of an underground river!
Before he could figure out what was going on, "Whew" a guy, the Hades Fire that had been 7-8 meters high was instantly suppressed, not even a meter, and all the red forest slopes outside the flames were gone! A huge mountain rock blocked the top of Jiang Ming and Mo Mo's heads!
The raging Hades fire was not abated, it was like the nozzle of a lighter was blocked..... The flames suddenly radiated and swam around, illuminating everything in all directions.......
But see ...... Where are there any mangrove slopes? They are clearly in a narrow mountain crevice, and there is an underground river next to it! Here the ravines are craggy and the soil is torn and intertwined, just like the "Yongdao" naturally formed in the process of natural leyline movement!
"Oh my God, this is the real world!" Momo shuddered.
Jiang Ming's eyes widened, looking at the surrounding situation, and the surging Hades torch "pierced through the hall" illumination, reaching the deep depths covered by earth and stones....... Here, there is no way back, let alone a way out, they are completely trapped in this gap!
"Chirp! Where is this?"
"Oh my God, I'm in the flames, why don't I feel hot!"
"You're stupid, you just realized?"
"Oh my God! I can't turn my brain, it's going to explode!"
"How are we going to get out? The way back is blocked!"
"Where is the way back?"
"Our team seems to be a lot less, why are there only a few people left?"
......
The rats chirped endlessly. Jiang Ming tried his best to calm his mind......
Looking back, there were indeed a lot fewer rats, and there were three people standing along the river..... There are less than 50 of them, you know...... There were three or four hundred rats that came in with him!
They may be buried in the earth and rocks like the King Kong Lao Ba in the early years, or maybe they ..... Fell into this dark river and was washed away...... In short, as soon as the two worlds transition, sacrifice is inevitable.
"Brother Jiang, what should we do?" Momo asked nervously.
Jiang Ming groaned slightly: "Right now...... If you can't find a way out, you can only make a hole in one direction! This is the real world, as long as you keep drilling in one direction, you will definitely be able to get out!"
"En!" Mo Mo nodded, no longer panicked in her heart, as long as she had Brother Jiang by her side, she was not afraid of any dangerous environment.
Jiang Ming instructed all the rats to stay disciplined! Don't run around and get out of the range of the flames...... Otherwise, they may fall into the red world, which will scare these rats into sifting chaff and nodding their heads again and again.
They all looked at Jiang Ming in amazement, this king not only has a charming body fragrance, but also can spell, like a bodhisattva "firelight"...... He's not a cat at all, he's a god!
In this narrow space, where is the ..... In fact, it is impossible to distinguish where it is, Jiang Ming can only explore all the boundaries that can be accommodated, and then consider how to "construct" and leave. His Hades fire time is limited, only two hours, if he can't escape within two hours, he will still be trapped in that red chaotic world, and there is no place to bury!
Something like Hades Fire, although it seems that it can "open up the territory", can actually only help the master escape from the secret realm and return to the real world...... But in the real world, how to get out of the predicament? It depends on your own skills, after all, Hades Fire is not a wall-piercing technique, and it can't help Jiang Ming and Momo pass through this thick mountain soil and rock......
Jiang Ming led everyone to walk forward along the dark river, and there were no cracks in the direction of the river's downstream, which was a dead end. If you go down and dive, it will be okay for a while, but you will definitely drown after a long time, so ..... They can only "swim upstream" and advance in the direction of the water source!
Although there is the light of Hades fire, but here ...... It's simply a labyrinth, intricate, criss-crossed, and the cracks themselves are not specially built passages, they are all randomly formed, fortunately there is such a dark river to guide, otherwise..... You have to be dizzy!
Encountering a narrow and impassable place, Jiang Ming personally went into battle to "open the mountain and split the stones", and continued to advance, just to walk in the direction of the water source, gradually, the air became more and more fresh, and the snort was ...... I seem to smell the fragrance of grass and trees.......
"Brother Jiang, we're going out soon, have you smelled it, the air in front of you is so fresh! It seems, there is also the fragrance of flowers and plants!" Mo Mo said excitedly.
Jiang Ming nodded: "We're going to speed up, the time of Hades Fire ..... It's only two hours, and when the time comes, the Hades fire will be extinguished!
In fact, he knew in his heart that in this cramped and narrow underground world, even if there was a dark river gushing, if it was completely closed, then they would have been suffocated to death.....! There should be no oxygen. Since you can still breathe for such a long time, it means that the inside and outside of this mountain are connected, and the exit is not far away!
He smelled the fragrance of the grass and trees again, which means that victory is in front of him, he waved his claws, "clicking" to scratch the mountain rock in front of him, like "the King Kong who came into the world"!
The rats are stupid! This king, not to mention the earth, can scratch the stones, it is terrible!
However...... When the last rock in the way was scratched, the scene in front of him greatly surprised "everyone", and everyone was stunned on the spot!
But see ahead, not at all on the other side of the mountain. A huge lake appeared in front of you, with an area of ...... It's the size of a football field. Dare to ...... All the water flows out from here, and in the middle of the lake, there is an island, on the island....... A seven- or eight-storey white tower stands in the middle of the lake, and the pavilion windows on each floor are faintly lit with a strange red light!
Over here..... It's a vast underground firmament! It doesn't go out of the interior of the mountain. Looking up at the "sky", there is a huge cave that looks like a yurt structure as a whole...... Hiding such a lake, and this strange isolated island White Tower, everything seems extremely mysterious!
Such a big hole....... Although it can't be compared with the previous one above the Red Village, it is also shocking! The key question is that this hole is real! The scenery inside and outside the Hades Fire Flame is exactly the same, which shows that it ...... This is not a demonic realm, but a real cave.
Although the cave as a whole is hemispherical, it is not strict, high or low, wide or narrow, it can only be said that it is ...... From the physical structure, it is in a relatively stable state, which is very in line with the characteristics of nature, and there is no trace of human excavation at all.......
Around the lake...... Overgrown with grass and flowers, the air is fresh and shining...... The flying insects are also relatively high, as if they have returned from late autumn to midsummer night in an instant!
Look closely, the white tower in the middle of the lake does not seem to be more than seven or eight floors, it has a section, it is submerged into the "firmament" on the top of the cave, is buried in the soil and stones, the overall effect is ..... It's like the sky is about to fall, giving people an indescribable sense of depression!
Jiang Ming, Mo Mo, and the group of rats looked at everything in front of them in shock...... It seems that he has come to a new world, but reason tells Jiang Ming that this place ...... It is the real foci, the root of all the magical changes in the Red Village!
The seven-story white tower, which shines like a lighthouse with a red signal, can outline all the effects that the devil wants to achieve!
"Incredible...... This style of the Yellow Sect White Pagoda is the first time I've seen it!" Mo Mo smacked his tongue in shock.
