Endless route

Chapter 212 51. Deep Sea Stone Corridor

Zheng Yun stood under the rope and looked up. He saw that the cave was about ten meters high. There was no light at the top. Judging from their diving depth at this moment, it was already above sea level.

"There is no sound from above, but it is from the front, which is still far away." Ji Dao listened carefully and concluded.

Zheng Yun nodded and retreated. Several Yin soldiers beside him took a step forward, swung their bodies and swam upwards. They quickly floated up with flashlights, and the flashlight light illuminated every inch of the burglary cave.

The aperture moves in the sea water.

The people who were still at the bottom of the sea were surrounded by light and watched as several light sources quickly disappeared at the exit of the robbery cave.

After waiting for a minute.

No exceptions appear above.

Kedester and others were prepared, holding their backpacks and turning off the light source, and floated silently up in the turbid water one after another.

Zheng Yun also followed closely behind.

The height of more than ten meters passed in an instant. By the time he reached the top, Kedester and the others and the Yin soldiers had already landed, squatting in the left and right corners of the corridor, guarding the end of the passage.

This is a green brick corridor.

The corridor is very crudely built, with uneven blue bricks, a narrow damp space in the walls, and a height of only 1.5 meters. It is impossible for ordinary people to walk upright in the corridor.

But it's hundreds of meters long.

Every twenty meters or so, there is a blue brick lampstand embedded in the wall. At a glance, there are fifteen or six in total.

It can be seen without careful identification that this corridor should be a secret passage here, and it does not look like it is used by people.

"There are a lot of traces."

Kedester shined his flashlight ahead. There were many puddles on the corridor, but at a glance he could see a lot of domestic garbage and traces of human activities scattered in the corner.

At the end of the corridor is an uphill slope.

They can't see what's going on above.

"It seems it's not far away."

Zheng Yun glanced briefly, then turned back to help the ghost general carrying the Hanxian tank and the ghost general carrying Ji Dao ashore.

The space of this secret passage is too narrow. If the other party sets any traps or tricks, it will be difficult for you and others to take precautions. You must be careful and careful in everything you do.

"Master Xian, there is a voice, but the position is still not right." Just as Jidao climbed ashore, he saw Zheng Yun looking at him. He knew the meaning of his eyes, so he listened carefully.

"Keep exploring, be careful."

Zheng Yun still let the Yin soldiers take the lead. They could only bend forward in the secret passage, but their speed was not slow.

There is a lot of water on the ground.

There is inevitably some movement when the Yin soldiers move around.

Everyone looked at the back of the Yin soldiers at the entrance. Everyone had a solemn expression, and they were even ready to withdraw immediately.

This situation is different from all previous experiences. There are living enemies in the dangerous place, and until this moment, I don't know what they are doing.

"Seems okay."

Kedster watched the Yin soldiers go to the end. Nothing happened along the way, but it made people feel weird and weird.

"No, there is movement."

Ji Dao suddenly reminded him, frowning and listening carefully, and then said in surprise: "I heard a scream."

As soon as these words came out, everyone tried their best to slow down their breathing. Sure enough, they heard a faint and vague cry, coming from a place far in front, but they couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost.

They looked at Noriichi.

Ji Dao also frowned and dared not make a conclusion.

Everyone briefly discussed and speculated, but the doubts still lingered, so they could only go forward in batches and go to the end of the secret passage to have a look.

Kedester and Hunter set off first.

They walked slowly and carefully checked for hidden dangers, even the plastic bags in the puddles. They would open the bags to see what was underneath, but they still walked smoothly all the way to the depths.

"It's a bridge."

“There is some light at the end.”

Kedester stood up and observed.

After confirming that the front was safe, Zheng Yun and others quickly passed through the secret passage, arrived at Kedester's side and stood up to take a look.

There really is a bridge outside.

It is also Triton’s favorite chain bridge.

This bridge is built in mid-air in the Haitian Rift Valley. There is sea water two or three meters below the bridge, but this bridge is actually slanted, extending to the rock wall in front and left, with a length of more than forty meters.

The scene in front of them was rather strange, as if there was an underground river in front of them, and the water below was bottomless. They emerged from the pit, and their heads were level with the bridge deck.

"The deep-sea floating city is down there?"

Ji Dao stuck his head out and took a look. The rock wall above his head was arched, as if it had been forcibly cut out.

"No, the deep-sea floating city is still ahead. I seem to see the pipes of the water pump." Kedester pointed forward. There was a light bulb hanging on the inner wall of the dark passage at the end of the bridge.

The light bulb cast a warm yellow light.

Like a beacon guiding the souls of the dead.

There are three tubes as thick as a head protruding from the dark hole. There is no water flowing out at this moment, and no starting sound can be heard.

"You didn't even turn off the lights? Where did they go?" Li Xia looked confused. The bright light almost told them clearly that Jiasi Aileen's group was inside.

Judging from Niya's previous performance, after seeing the ghost general's sword and the Tiangong demon dog, she panicked and ran away desperately. She also burned down the camp to let her teammates hide the salvaged things.

It looked like they were trying to run.

The signs found along the way also match up.

This organization suffered great losses in the arctic mountains. The archaeological team of dozens of people was wiped out by Triton. The only survivor had just come out, so it would be reasonable to run away.

But even if they want to run away, they should have some escape plan, so as not to panic and leave a lot of loopholes, at least they will leave behind means to delay the pursuit of future generations.

"There may be fraud, please ask Han Xian."

Zheng Yun made a decisive decision. No matter what was ahead, Hanxian should go over and take a look before talking.

"We avoid it?"

Li Xiya asked subconsciously.

"No need." Zheng Yun shook his head.

As soon as Ji Dao heard this, he immediately took action and took the Hanxian vat off the Ghost General's back, pushed it to the end of the iron cable bridge and lifted the lid, allowing all the Hanxian to pour out of the vat.

Han Xian knows how to walk on the chain bridge.

They will when they are in the Fairy Cave.

So everyone saw that after Ji Dao sprinkled a handful of fragrant sand to cut off the escape route, Han Xian was forced to walk onto the iron rope, disintegrating on the spot and turning into wisps of fairy light, floating towards the end.

The dead sea water ripples.

Fairy light shines brightly into the bridge hole.

Seeing this scene for the first time, Licia and the hunter were speechless for a moment. This was truly a magical trick, and the rusty iron cable bridge even looked a bit fairy-like.

Kedester watched with great interest.

Hanxian is the absolute core of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave in the Extreme Cold Mountains. In terms of level and pomp, the Immortal Sacrifice Cave is no worse than this place. It can also annihilate the archaeological team back then.

This is interesting.

The final weirdness of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave in the Dangerous Land of Gods and Ghosts appears in the deep-sea floating city in the Dangerous Land of Gods and Ghosts. The core weirdness of the two dangerous places of gods and ghosts collides with each other. The outcome is actually difficult to predict.

Because Hanxian is not a complete body and does not know what is in the floating city in the deep sea, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

But Kedester knew one thing.

No matter who is higher or lower between the two, Jiasi Aileen and others who are caught between the two ultimate weirdos will all suffer.

The Hanxian can appear out of thin air and kill people silently. The closed diving suit is no better than the oxygen mask of the cold-weather suit. The Hanxian does not eat plastic, but it can bite the hole and get inside to eat people.

"Shall we follow up and take a look?"

Ji Dao watched Han Xian disappear from sight, feeling curious and wanted to catch up to see where Han Xian would go.

"Let's talk about it later."

Zheng Yun looked around the rift valley.

Hanxian is good at everything, except that he has been hungry for a long time and has not eaten before. Although he gives priority to hunting living animals, he is easily seduced by other things, and it will take some time to clear the place.

"They put the drainage pipe here and pumped all the water into this place. I'm afraid there won't be much water inside the bridge tunnel."

Licia took out a telescope and observed.

"The main road to the Zhenyin Gate will also be blocked by this rift valley. There may be other passages under our feet."

Kedester took out the route map, took out a waterproof marker, and wrote in the notebook to correct the route.

"Let me take a look."

After hearing this, Ji Dao immediately leaned out and lay on the edge of the chain bridge, stretched out his head to look at the sea water below them, and pointed the flashlight at his feet to look for the right exit.

There must be a reason for Garth Erin's detour.

There might be something down there.

Zheng Yun and others remained vigilant, scanning the entire underground sea and the bridge cave opposite with their flashlights, fearing that someone would attack in the dark.

"Master Immortal, that's wrong! There are bones all down there! It's the same thing I saw in the belly of the stone statue just now." Ji Dao exclaimed, his body trembling slightly.

Zheng Yun and others stood up and looked down.

There is actually a stone arch bridge in the sea submerged by the sea water at their feet. The height is the same as the entrance of Zhenyin Gate. At this moment, it is illuminated by several flashlights and can be seen clearly.

You can see two underwater stone statues.

It should be the exit of Zhenyin Gate.

However, there are a large number of chains under the claws of the stone statue, and the ends of the chains are all filled with pale bones. The platform is almost filled with them. At a glance, there are probably dozens or hundreds of them.

"..."

Zheng Yun felt a slight chill on his back.

The Zhenyin Gate should be the only main entrance into and out of the Deep Sea Floating City. The secret passage they were in was also part of the gate. Whoever wanted to enter the deep sea would definitely pass by here.

There should be something guarding such an important door, but no one expected that there would be so many corpses guarding the door.

"Are you letting corpses guard the gate?"

Li Xiya's body trembled slightly and she looked at Zheng Yun. Compared with the understandable behavioral logic of Westerners playing with jellyfish, the various behaviors of Easterners were completely beyond cognition.

These bones were tied with iron chains under the claws of the stone statues.

But what is the purpose of tying them? The Zhenyin Gate is more than ten meters deep under the water. A living person who is tied up cannot guard the gate and will only drown. A dead person is tied up and can only float in the water.

Triton does not work in vain.

Is there any weird trick here? Is it possible that these corpses can be resurrected in place and kill all the intruders? Or is this the body of a trespasser who was suppressed and put on public display?

"Are you sure it's a human?" Zheng Yun frowned and observed.

"There is a skull under this gap. It is similar to humans but different in size. The ribs are similar to humans but the number is wrong. It should be a human-like marine mammal?"

Kedester answered with a guess.

A group of them just lay on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the seawater three meters below, looking around in the water.

"It may be some kind of evil thing. The gate was guarded well at first. As the porcelain bottle was broken, deep sea worms and other evil things came out, and they were eaten by those things or jellyfish."

Licia recalled that they had seen human bones inside the jellyfish, and maybe this was where they came from.

"Hard to say."

Ji Dao scratched his head. He still felt that these bones were human bones, but he couldn't figure out the purpose of doing so.

"There should be no threat."

Zheng Yun withdrew his gaze. No matter what the purpose of this level was, it should be completely useless.

If only the bones could be resurrected.

That's a bit too magical.

"Master Immortal, I feel that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's cross the bridge and have a look. Han Xian has been in there for a long time."

Ji Dao felt vaguely uneasy.

Zheng Yun nodded and sent out the Yin soldiers. Only the iron ropes were left on the chain bridge. Jiasi Aileen and others laid some wooden boards on top. Niya didn't bother to dismantle them when she escaped.

The Yin soldiers stepped on them one after another.

The feet are very stable.

The journey was still not long, and the Yin Soldier soon reached the other side and stood under the warm yellow light bulb.

Seeing that nothing happened to the Yin soldiers, Zheng Yun and others went to the bridge in batches, and they walked across the bridge cautiously in teams of two.

Zheng Yun looked down from the bridge.

There are faint things swimming in the deep sea water. Judging from the shape, they should be jellyfish. In addition, ten meters under the water, the stone arch bridge of Zhenyin Gate can also be seen clearly.

The arch bridge fence is carved with some patterns.

It looks even weirder when suspended in the sea.

However, the main entrance at the end of the arch bridge is not blocked. It can be basically deduced that the place where Jiasi Irene and others pump water is not connected to the formal passage of Zhenyin Gate.

Not long after, everyone crossed the iron chain bridge. The Yin soldiers had already penetrated into the bridge hole and continued to explore the way. However, the secret passage ahead was not long, and they soon entered a cave.

There are lights all the way.

You can see the situation in the cave from a distance, and you can see the second camp of Jiasi Aileen and others, but it is very humid here, and the living supplies are placed on the wire bed.

"This seems to be a... stone corridor?"

Ji Dao stared at the environment of the cave. The furnishings inside were somewhat similar to the Tiangong Stone Corridor, almost the same model.

There are windows in the walls.

It was frighteningly dark outside the window.

At the end of the cave are neat steps that extend all the way down, and three sewer pipes are on the steps.

"Go in and have a look."

Zheng Yun led people into the cave.

After entering, both Zheng Yun and Kedester were silent, because this place is really almost the same as the Tiangong Stone Corridor, with the same techniques, and there is no difference at all.

Just the decor is slightly different.

The construction workmanship and decoration are also quite rough, like a Tiangong stone corridor that has not yet been completed.

"There are voices, and it's very deep down there."

Ji Dao walked to the edge of the steps of the stone corridor in two steps. If this place was the same as the Heavenly Palace, then he was almost at home. He was so familiar with this place that he knew the structure even with his eyes closed.

Others walked over.

This step is bottomless, and the sea water has been completely drained. Every drop of water above your head echoes with an ethereal sound.

Zheng Yun walked in the opposite direction to them and walked to the only window of this stone corridor to check.

Then he suddenly fell into a long silence.

This place is actually on the top floor of an attic. There are pointed eaves and tiles outside the window, which is consistent with the attic style in the ancient Tiangong building, but the scenery outside the window is completely different.

Above your head is the rock wall.

Three meters below is the sea.

The unfathomable bottomless ocean.

Just like the Landscape Pavilion of the Tiangong Stone Corridor, it is really incredible that there is such an ancient building here.
