Chapter 79 Underground
【If there is still a chance...please show mercy to us again.】
In the moment of confusion, the words from the furnace emerged from the memory again.
"It seems that I am quite taken care of."
Ji Jue sighed: "Someone told me to show mercy to others, but I don't know the meaning of my mercy or the value of my sympathy.
Prophet, I'm just a little guy, nothing compared to sages. We're not even the same kind, so why put your hope in me?"
"Originally I just planned to give it a try, but after meeting you, I became even more convinced." The prophet laughed so hoarsely, "You are indeed the kind of person who would show mercy to inhuman things like us."
"Thank you, Mr. Ji Jue."
"You really seem to think of out-of-control tools like us as human beings," she said.
"Isn't this bad?" Ji Jue asked back.
"Maybe."
The tool called the prophet laughed, "I'm not sure if this will cause some kind of misunderstanding or misunderstanding, but please don't worry -"
She solemnly promised: "Before the end of my life, I will do my best to help you find the matrix and non-attack until we are truly freed from reincarnation."
There is no need for Tianyuan's contract or Xinshu's guarantee.
This is all the reward a tool can offer.
The center of the split is the site of the original bell tower.
The tower overturned, bricks and debris piled up into a mountain, and a huge pit appeared above the square.
For the past few days, the roar has been heard one after another.
The brave and ferocious returning knights were crawling out of the pit one by one with big baskets on their backs, looking as miserable as workers who were dusting off dust.
"Mr. Lou, we have dug more than fifty meters down, but there is still nothing! The brothers are almost unable to bear it now."
Silan, who was temporarily transferred to a contractor, poked his head out of the tent and asked tentatively: "Is there a possibility... that he made a mistake with your instrument?"
"impossible!"
Lou Feng glared and retorted flatly.
After days of hard work, the body of the young man who had never touched the spring water was covered with dirt, except for his hair, which was meticulously taken care of.
"Absolutely impossible!"
He stood in front of the observation instrument that was larger than himself, pointed at the complicated data on the screen and said, "Did you see it? According to statistics, one-fifth of the flow of spiritual matter in the entire world is here. There is definitely one here.
If there are no important nodes going up, then go down.
I won't be stingy with the remuneration, Mr. Slan, we must speed up efficiency."
"Uh..." Silan hesitated for a moment. He didn't mind the employer's extra money. After all, everyone knew the dangers of fighting and dusting. Instead, he was happy to do some menial work. Why not work?
However, as an experienced explorer of the split world, he had to make suggestions to his employer: "Well, the node you mentioned has probably been taken away by the boy named Ji before, right?"
In an instant, Lou Feng's face became more and more ugly. He subconsciously wanted to curse angrily, but his throat couldn't help but sting. He cursed too much and almost became hoarse.
In fact, he had suspected that the grandson Ji Jue had done something, but he had already seen the bell tower. It was just an abandoned old workshop with nothing of value. What else could he touch?
Is it possible to resist taking away the furnace in front of oneself?
Moreover, the flow of spiritual matter cannot be faked, and this is definitely the key clue.
Ji Jue, that bitch, thought he had taken some advantage from himself. Even if he really got something from the workshop, it was just buying a coffin for a pearl.
The real key is already firmly in his hands.
"Continue!" He squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "I want to see how deep it can be buried -"
The moment he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the pit.
The earth trembled.
Deep cracks appeared in the square.
Like an earthquake.
"It's been through! It's been through!!!"
Cheers sounded from the pit, and soon Lou Feng had arrived at the scene.
Under the earth, separated by a long distance of more than 70 meters, is a deep darkness with no end in sight, and an unexpected huge hole.
After throwing down a fluorescent rod, one could vaguely distinguish the huge outlines silent in the darkness. They were like the inside of a precision instrument.
With just a little observation, I discovered that the underground space is no less impressive than above ground.
Instead of being fooled by appearances, Lou Feng used the simplest and most straightforward method to forcefully break through the barriers of the workshop and open up the passage to the operation floor.
The fortifications and mechanisms that support the operation of the entire world, including the workshop modules left by the once sage Mercury, are all there!
"Haha, hahaha, I knew it!"
Going down the zipline, Lou Feng looked around at the huge facilities bathed in darkness and light, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Sure enough, it still has to go down further!
Get ready to move on, Mr. Slan.
This time, we are in the lead!"
After sweeping away the decadent atmosphere of the past few days, Lou Feng's face was radiant, and he was so excited that he could hardly restrain himself: This time, he didn't believe that that bitch Ji Jue could run in front of him!
boom!
A loud noise came from the distance again.
It was vague and blurry, as if another building had collapsed and turned into ashes.
Collapse and collapse spread silently from the surface...
Just like a machine on the verge of being scrapped, it gradually dies.
The same underground, in the deep sewers, in the invisible shelter.
At this moment, it was a mess.
When the roars, roars and roars dissipated into the deathly silence, only intermittent whimpering remained.
"Stop, outsider, please!" The ugly figure like a worm crawled on the ground, kowtow in despair: "There is nothing here, we have nothing."
No one responded.
Only the empty shells that looked like walking corpses were still persistently sweeping through the entire simple camp, cutting off the heads from the corpses one by one, and sent them to the master.
In mid-air, a looming scarlet figure was holding a half-broken head.
Invisibly pinching his nose, searching for the remaining memories in the corpse, it gradually became clear.
"I see, deeper underground? I understand..."
He threw down the head in his hand without interest, lowered his eyes, glanced at the puppets in front of him who had no ability to resist, and suddenly smiled:
"As expected of a sage, he can shape even a bunch of tools into a living thing. Although it is not qualified as food, as a material, it is just right——"
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed casually.
Screams sounded from the ground.
The figure who knelt in prayer began to squirm violently, and his body trembled crazily, swollen, and alienated. Under the invisible manipulation and deliberate intensification, the consciousness accelerated to split, went crazy, and completely transformed into chaos. In the end, even the body was completely destroyed.
Completely burst.
All that's left is countless fragments and slime splatters.
And among the corpses, a scarlet figure slowly climbed up and wandered around, its empty eyes opened one after another, hungry to choose people to eat.
Accompanied by continuous explosions, scarlet translucent shadows emerged from the corpses one after another.
Become the shepherd’s cattle and sheep.
"Let's go."
The invisible grinned, waved, and pulled the invisible reins, leading the mighty herd into deeper darkness.
"Where on earth is this going?"
On the other side of the rift, a figure who had been wandering among the ruins for three or four days sighed in frustration. The old white-haired woman was carrying a huge backpack, like a hiker, unable to start with the intricate road in front of her.
"Isn't there supposed to be a road ahead?"
She stared at the map in her hand, comparing it over and over with the fork in front of her, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was completely incomparable and that it was not the same place at all.
After thinking carefully, analyzing carefully, and considering seriously for half an hour.
She had to admit that she was lost.
Moreover, it seems that since entering the split world, I have never found the right place!
"What a broken map!"
She threw the map in her hand to the ground and angrily yelled: "It doesn't even mark the east, west, north, and south. I just told you to come and look for it. What a ghost!"
You old dog, maybe you tricked me into going to the grave and burning newspapers, right?!"
In the dust, the tattered map seemed to rise, suddenly flew up, folded into a long strip, and slapped her forehead unceremoniously.
Crack twice.
Just before she got so angry that she wanted to tear the crap thing apart, the map was unfolded again, then turned upside down in front of her, a circle was drawn, an arrow was marked, and it pointed straight ahead.
[If you can’t read the map, don’t say bad things about me!]
Then, she realized...this broken map didn't seem to be a flat surface, but an up-and-down structure?
The white-haired woman was stunned for a moment, her expression twitched, then twitched again, then she grabbed the map back with her hands and said, "Your mother wasted such a long time, you should have told me earlier!"
[I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be such a bad person]
"Shut up!" She was furious: "What era are you in, and you still draw maps?! You don't even have a navigation function or a voice broadcast function. Do you think you can't even use a smartphone?"
Map was silent, as if a sore spot had been stabbed.
"Huh, let's go."
The old woman who had won back the victory put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly, then walked away.
【Wrong go, east.】
"Shut up, I'm investigating! Do you understand investigation?"
Her expression stiffened for a moment, and she looked around and hesitated for a long time: "Test, I'll give you a question, where is the east?"
【……】
As a result, the map also became silent.
Only a bleak autumn wind blew by, and the overwhelmed Map Hunter made a final suggestion: [Anyway, we are here to pay merciful grave... Otherwise, why don't you burn me? 】
At this moment, at the other end of the town, there was a loud earthquake and the collapse of ruins, awakening a group of the Chosen Ones who were repairing from their dreams.
Cracks spread from the ground along with the earthquake.
Deep and changing light emerges from it.
"Old Four, Old Four!"
The person who discovered it first turned around and called his companion's name: "What do you think this is?"
"I see."
During the simple investigation, the Chosen One of Ember's eyes reflected the changing light, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Underground!
I started to have fever again at seven o'clock last night, my whole body was sore and my ears were ringing constantly. Now, after the fever subsided a little, I started coughing non-stop again.
There is only one update today, sorry.
It has been in a dying and dying state for the past two days. There is really no way to guarantee stable updates. Please forgive me.
Chapter completed!
