Chapter 178: Exit
Most of the Astral Calamity ruins are located in very remote and hidden places, and the only way to enter the ruins is to rely on key blocks, but this is not absolute, and there are rumors that some lucky people accidentally discovered the entrance to the ruins and were able to enter.
These include both formal entrances that were designed at the beginning of the construction of the ruins, as well as gaps that have been created by certain changes over the millennia.
Lin Lichuan and the others are currently encountering the latter situation.
If they could find the exit to the outside world, they would undoubtedly be able to leave the ruins.
"The exit should be in the lake, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably some lake or river connected to the outside world, but unfortunately I'm not good at the water, I can't hold my breath underwater for too long, otherwise I would have left here more than a month ago. Lin Zhenyi sighed, although she was a golden peak transcendent, she was also helpless in this regard.
If you change to a golden peak warrior, you can also rely on the inner circulation breath to dive to the bottom of the lake to find an exit.
After a pause, she perked up again and said with a smile: "But now that we have your protective light ball, we can try it." ”
Lin Lichuan bowed slightly, looked up at the sky above the lake, and found that in just this moment, the number of star beasts hovering in the air increased to six, and he looked like he would not give up if he didn't catch them.
Originally, he had planned to go to the temple to find out if there were any meteorite stones, or use the rest of the time to hunt more alien beasts to accumulate crystals, but this would not work.
Thinking of this, Lin Lichuan didn't feel a pity.
However, he was not indecisive after all, and quickly put superfluous thoughts behind him, and immediately decided: "Just do it!"
Without delay, Lin Lichuan immediately manipulated the spiritual pressure protection light ball to search carefully in the water.
The lake water is clear, but the visibility is not as good as the land, the deeper you go, the darker the light, and the lake is unusually wide, it is not easy to find an exit in it, it took more than two hours, during which the lake secretly surfaced to change the air twice, Lin Lichuan finally found a more obvious undercurrent.
Seeing this, the two of them were in good spirits, and immediately searched in the opposite direction of the undercurrent.
Sure enough, the undercurrent became more and more obvious the further back it went, but at the same time, the resistance to the advancement of the spiritual pressure protective light ball was also increasing, and Lin Lichuan had to increase the spiritual pressure output before he could continue to move forward.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Lichuan and Lin Zhenyi stopped in the depths of the lake, and what appeared in front of them was a huge gap that was dark and deep.
The gap stretched across the stone wall, like a narrow black eye, wide in the middle and narrow on the sides, the length was immeasurable, but the widest part was wide enough to accommodate four or five cars, and the edges had become smooth as a mirror because of the years of washing, and it looked like obsidian.
A large amount of water flowed out into the gap, forming a strong undercurrent that spread hundreds of meters away, as soon as he got closer, Lin Lichuan felt a huge resistance from the spiritual pressure protective light ball, and hurriedly concentrated his mind so as not to be swept away by the undercurrent.
"It seems that this is supposed to be the gateway to the outside world. Lin Zhenyi's face flashed with joy.
Lin Lichuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in this way, he could finally leave the ruins.
Out of caution, the two did not immediately rush into the gap, but first floated to the surface of the lake to breathe, followed by Lin Lichuan took a special nourishing and strengthening agent to restore the lost spiritual pressure, and after everything was prepared, he controlled the spiritual pressure protective light ball to carry the resistance of the water flow and plunged into the gap.
The field of vision fell into darkness in a blink of an eye, and there was no light except for the faint light emitted by the spiritual pressure protective light ball, but this bit of light could only illuminate an area within a radius of two or three meters from the light ball, making it difficult to discern the direction.
Fortunately, the gap is not particularly wide, so be cautious so as not to lose your way.
As he walked forward, the gap gradually narrowed, and some strange plants with a faint light began to appear overhead, making the surroundings still dim, but at least not as dark and deep as before.
It is estimated that after moving forward for more than an hour, the air in the spiritual pressure protective light ball is on the verge of running out, and Lin Lichuan finally felt that the undercurrent in front of him seemed to have weakened a little, and at the same time, the pressure on the spiritual pressure protective light ball was suddenly heavy, and after being slightly stunned, he hurriedly looked back, and then realized that he had walked out of the gap.
Seeing this, Lin Lichuan and Lin Zhenyi glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a look of surprise.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Lichuan controlled the spiritual pressure protective light ball to rise quickly.
More than ten minutes later, with a bang, the spiritual pressure protective light ball broke through the calm water and rushed out, setting off a splash.
The ball of light flew straight into the sky like fireworks, and did not stop until it was forty or fifty meters high, looking at the bright sky above their heads and the ridge in the distance, Lin Lichuan and Lin Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally out.
Looking around, Lin Lichuan found that the place where he was should be above a certain lake, the specific location is unknown, but there is no doubt that it is no longer on Black Flame Island, which does not have such a vast lake.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but he didn't expect that by mistake, he not only got out of the ruins smoothly, but also left Black Flame Island with him.
But that's fine, anyway, the main purpose of going to Heiyan Island has been achieved, and sooner or later people will have to leave, and now it saves the trouble of leaving the island.
Relieved, Lin Lichuan left without delay and flew towards the shore of the lake in the distance.
Before leaving, he memorized the surrounding terrain in his mind, and was ready to wait until his strength was enough in the future, and then enter the ruins from here, no matter what, the meteorite stone inside could not be abandoned.
The flight speed outside was far beyond the bottom of the water, and it didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the shore, Lin Lichuan landed from the air, put away the miniaturized spirit bead core, and changed to walking.
After a few more kilometers, the building finally appeared in my field of vision.
Half an hour later, Lin Lichuan and the others were already in the city, and after inquiring, they learned that this was actually in the territory of the empire, but it was very close to the edge.
Lin Lichuan has never been to the empire since he came to this world, and he is very unfamiliar with this place, but Lin Zhenyi is quite familiar, and after a while, he inquired about the specific location he is now.
After leaving Black Flame Island, the signal had been restored, and Lin Zhenyi then directly contacted Yege with his mobile phone.
Not long after she hung up the phone, a vehicle with a military license plate arrived where the two of them were, and a tall man wearing the uniform of an imperial officer got out of the car, strode up to the two of them, and saluted without saying a word.
"Colonel Lin, Colonel Xubai, Xiao Shi, who belongs to the Second Brigade of the Night Song Intelligence Department, is ordered to greet the two!"
