Chapter 523: Underground
Chapter 523: Underground
The entire forest knew that there was a world rich in resources under the ground, but as for the details of this world, even the most ancient elves of the Forest of Chaos didn’t know what it was like.
It’s said that it was a world that never say daylight, having hundreds of millions of dark beings, as well as a large amount of ancient extinct races. It made the underground world a very dangerous place. It’s also said that the underground world is a paradise. When the great ancient world’s continent shattered, large amounts of gods and demons’ treasures were buried under the ground. There were also legends that said that the underground world was linked to the world of death, with countless terrifying demons roaming around.
In short.
The underground world was completely different.
Whether it was the living conditions or the environment, there was a difference like heaven and earth.
Therefore the underground world rarely participated in the surface world’s battles and likewise, the surface world’s beings weren’t interested in the underground.
Without any supporting information and maps to guide him.
Chu Tian set off exploring a completely unknown place, this was just too reckless!
No one knew what was happening in the underground world, no one can be sure what he would meet in the underground world.
“City Lord, have you properly considered this?” Clark sent Chu Tian to the Devil’s Maw entrance, “The gnomes have tried mapping the surrounding space, but we have failed each time. You have to know, the Devil’s Maw is just the entrance to the underground, it might still be several hundred miles away from the real underground!”
That’s right.
It was not altitude, but rather depth!
Who knows what it would be like several hundred miles underground?
Who knows if there was a way to the underground? The underground world was not just filled with unknown risks, the environment was also very bad, it was not something normal people could imagine. Even the most famous explorer or adventurer could be lost in this kind of danger!
“Relax!” Chu Tian patted his belt with a row of scrolls in it, “I have already made my preparation, I have to go this time. Stop fussing, relax!”
“Yes!”
An absolute beauty like the young miss couldn’t stop me, so what is a small and ugly old man like you speaking for?
Clark had no choice, he could only let him go.
After the chaos caused by the monsters, the Devil’s Maw defense had been increased by large amounts. Whether it was weapons or manpower, it was increased by several times, stopping something similar from happening again.
“I think we should also make an Undead Tower here to make it easier to monitor.” Before Chu Tian entered the cave, he proposed, “Because the Undead Tower has a life form monitoring effect, we’ll be warned if the monsters come again. Not to mention that an Undead Tower would mean tens of thousands of skeletons and these skeletons who don’t fear death are the best guardians.”
“Understood!”
It was very different inside the Devil’s Maw.
Chu Tian knit his brows as soon as he walked in, “Damn, why is it so smelly!”
There were large amount so Evil Eyes active in this area, but now they were all hidden, even avoiding the skeletons all over the ground. Other than the monsters that already lived here, there were the corpses of many unknown monsters all over the ground.
It was simply like a slaughter!
When large amounts of dark monsters were in a riot, they would also attack and swallow each other.
The little fox sniffed all around like a dog, digging out many crystals from the corpses and swallowing them down like a snack.
Chu Tian was very impatient, “Stop eating, quickly look around. Where did these creatures come from? I want to find the source!”
The little fox shook its head.
“What, you can’t find it?”
The caves were very messy and there were tens of thousands of life forms gathered here, as well the cave network was very complicated, so the little fox could not lock onto their scent to find where they came from.
It could even be said.
These monsters did not all come from the same place.
The little fox couldn’t find the correct way just based on scent.
“You waste who only knows how to eat, you aren’t even any use at this critical moment. With such a large cave, how do you expect me to find the exit to the underground?”
Chu Tian accused the little fox of being no use. This fellow had been with Chu Tian for a long time, so its face was already very thick.
After a while.
The fox ate another hundred beast crystals!
How was this exploring? This was simply coming to eat food!
Around four-five hundred meters under the Miracle City underground base, this depth did not affect this world much. This was still considered the surface layer of the continent, he needed to find a path to the underground in this complicated space.
Although the high energy minerals were releasing light, which was strong enough to nourish underground plants, the intense energy would have more negative effects, having a strong corrosive effect on normal beings. The powerful energy radiation was even strong enough to kill. The underground plants do release breathable air, but they also released poisonous gas that could kill people without them even knowing.
Not to mention exploring the underground world, even exploring this abyss would require a large amount of courage from a normal cultivator!
But Chu Tian had the intent to keep going!
Even if it was hard to find!
Chu Tian swallowed several personally refined pills and he released the fox as he began to move. Without a map and without the right path, he could only keep going deeper!
The entire space was filled with corroded stones, that were like honeycombs and also like ant nests, with complicated tunnels that didn’t follow any rules. There were all kinds of precious ores, underground plants, as well as dangerous underground life forms.
Everyone would have one question they were curious about.
Why did this underground space not break apart after tens of thousands of years?
This was because there were two kinds of energy supporting it. The first was a kind of energy released from the core that continued to strengthen the ground, making the stones as hard as steel, forming a powerful material frame. The other reason was the energy field that covered the underground world, so even if this physical support broke, the energy field would be enough to support the underground space.
The little fox used its Divine Eye to scan the surrounding situation.
Chu Tian followed the little fox’s guidance, avoiding dead ends. One man and one beast began heading towards the underground world. Chu Tian didn’t know where he was and Chu Tian didn’t even know if this place was connected to the underground world, but Chu Tian kept going deeper.
His spatial abilities played a very large role.
Chu Tian could easily pass through obstacles and avoid a few dangers, which increased his speed and efficiency.
“What the hell!” Chu Tian sat down on a large rock to rest as he took out a True Spirit Pill from his chest to quickly restore his spirit energy, “We’ve already been walking for a day, right? Why can’t we find a single thing other than the scattered dark life form nests!”
Thirty thousand years later, Chu Tian had gone to the underground kingdoms of the continent several times, but Chu Tian had always been sent there by teleportation arrays, he didn’t need to travel through the thick rock layer at all. Not to mention that the world thirty thousand years later was greatly changed, with most of the underground world being destroyed. Even the remaining underground kingdoms had also been greatly changed!
Chu Tian’s body was covered in dirt and his hair was in a mess. Although with the little fox’s Divine Eye and Chu Tian’s spatial ability and Divine Sense, they could avoid the monsters nest they came across, there were several encounters they met on the way.
Basically any life form that could exist in this kind of environment was not easy to deal with.
The fights made Chu Tian feel very depressed.
The little fox was still manipulating the large eyeball to monitor the situation and the little fox’s eyes lit up like it had found something special. It immediately jumped up and pointed in a direction with its claw.
Chu Tian went in the direction the little fox pointed out.
This was an underground canyon and there was a very rich dark energy in it. Various dark purple and dark red crystals covered the wall and path like bamboo shoots. Generally places like this were filled with dark monsters.
“You sure you didn’t make a mistake? This place is not easy to travel through!”
The fox was very certain it didn’t make a mistake!
Chu Tian didn’t have a better choice. Since this fellow is this certain, then he would give it a try. Perhaps something would really come out of it!
Just as Chu Tian expected.
This was a space filled with strong energy and its intensity surpassed his expectations.
Under that rich dark energy, not only could Chu Tian not spread his Divine Sense, his entire person felt like it was covered in acid, constantly feeling a corroding feeling.
Chu Tian took out a purification pill, “We need to move quickly!”
The mountains to the left and right of the path was actually filled with thousands of large and small holes. This made Chu Tian feel this was bad. When Chu Tian arrived at the channel, the holes in the valley walls began to tremble.
Two meter long things began to drill out of the holes.
This being looked like an ant kind of living being, with bodies completely covered in firm dark armour. They had a pair of blade like forearms and a pair of translucent wings. Almost in an instant, thousands of these dark creatures came out from the holes.
“Demon Ants!” Chu Tian recognized this rare creature, “Damn, look at what kind of route you picked!”
Demon Ants looked like ants, but they were a kind of demon beast with demon bloodline. The Demon Ants were very quick and had strong attacks. The Demon Ants were covered in a rare and precious material because this shield had the ability to guard against Divine Sense. Even with Chu Tian’s Divine Sense at the Vision Domain level, it was hard to find the Demon Ants.
What would Chu Tian use to deal with all these Demon Ants?!
He quickly teleported.
The energy here was very strong and Chu Tian’s Divine Sense didn’t have the ability to lock onto a place that far, therefore his teleport range was greatly impaired. He could only teleport a thousand meters away, appearing above where the ants gathered.
“Weng, weng!”
The thousands of Demon Ants made a strange sound at the same time!
This was the most dangerous attack of the Demon Ants. When they met their natural enemy or prey that was hard to deal with, the Demon Ants would connect up to thousand of individuals to release a fatal large scale spiritual wave.
This spiritual energy was strong enough that it shook the surrounding mountains!
