ca-book Chapter 3722 Crack
Chapter 3722 Crack
The cracks in the ground continued to widen.
Gravel kept breaking off from the ground, tumbling and falling into the cracks.
Eventually, the crack widened to several meters, revealing a dark passage leading deep underground.
Everyone stared intently at the passageway.
Victor and the sea creatures looked surprised.
They didn't know how long the Abyss District had existed.
From ancient times to the present, generations of sea creatures have only known that ancient sea monsters are sealed in the depths of the ocean, but no one has ever discovered a passage leading to the depths of the sea, nor has there been any related record.
In fact, before this, most sea creatures only regarded the ancient seal as a legend.
Viktor swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.
The passage was bottomless and pitch black.
But he could feel an indescribable fear spreading from the darkness, pressing down on his chest and making him extremely uncomfortable.
The three alchemists, who had been somewhat excited, were stunned by what they saw and turned to look at Fang Heng with expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
Is there really an underground passage?
He was right!
Is it true or not? Did he just happen to be lucky and run into someone?
Feng Tia stepped forward and sensed it, saying, "I can feel a dark power stirring beneath the passage. It's probably far more dangerous than we imagine. The legends about sealed giant beasts in the deep sea abyss are probably true."
Fang Heng looked down into the dark passage.
A heavy, oppressive aura emanated from below.
They're not easy to deal with.
Has the seal been damaged?
It would take some time to open the black mist game portal and teleport back to the game world, so Fang Heng decided to take advantage of the moment to complete the quest and find the aura-shielding magic circle beneath the seal.
Fang Heng looked at Shalin and asked, "The core area of the magic circle is down below. Let's go down and take a look together."
Charlene said, "Okay."
Fang Heng nodded slightly and was the first to step into the passage.
The crowd followed and filed in.
The steps leading underground were narrow and steep, covered with a thick layer of moss, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.
Fang Heng walked in front, with Feng Tiya close behind, the faint blue light of the Trident of Poseidon illuminating the way ahead.
After descending about fifty steps, several alchemists in the group suddenly noticed something and began to study the runic markings that had appeared on both sides of the passage's rock walls.
"It's a magic circle rune."
"The structure is somewhat different from the one above."
Fang Heng glanced at the rock walls on both sides and casually explained, "These are the energy conduction channels of runes. The magic array on top is just the surface entrance of the entire sealing system. The real energy supply and circulation control are all done below."
The three alchemists exchanged glances after hearing Fang Heng's words, but remained silent.
It seems that what Fang Heng said is indeed true?
But where did that kid come from? How could he know so much about ancient magic circles?
Fang Heng said, "The magic circle here is not the core, so there's no need to waste time."
At this point, the three alchemists dared not raise any objections, shrank back, and followed the group forward.
After climbing about a hundred more steps, the negative effects of the oppressive aura became increasingly apparent.
The pace of the accompanying sea creature guards slowed noticeably, as they were struggling to breathe under the oppressive aura. The three alchemists in the group turned pale, and the youngest of them could only move forward slowly by holding onto the rock wall.
"rise!"
Feng Tiya gave a soft shout.
The Trident of Poseidon suddenly unleashed a pale blue barrier, enveloping everyone within it.
Instantly, most of the invisible force pressing down on everyone's shoulders was isolated.
Victor let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Feng Tia waved her hand and continued down the steps.
With each dozen or so steps down, the oppressive feeling from the pressure intensifies.
Even with Fontia's barrier protecting them, the group's progress was forced to slow down more and more.
Fana and her group of Blackburg players were filled with apprehension.
What exactly is the origin of this terrifying pressure?
If the mere aura it exudes can exert such pressure, how terrifying must the thing itself be?
If it weren't for the barrier provided by the sea goddess Vontia, it would have taken a great deal of effort for Black Castle to reach this place.
The group continued down the steps for another fifteen minutes.
Wisps of black mist faintly appeared in the passage ahead.
Extremely faint, almost translucent, it slowly rises from below, flowing along both sides of the rock wall.
The black mist made a faint hissing sound when it touched the edge of Feng Tia's barrier.
“Something’s not right.” Feng Tia frowned. “The black mist contains corrosive power. Be careful and don’t release your mental energy carelessly, or it will be eroded by the mist.”
"clear."
The group looked solemn, agreed, and followed Feng Tiya deeper into the area.
The deeper you go down the stairs, the higher the concentration of black fog becomes.
After continuing deeper for about two or three hundred meters, the black fog in the passage had become so thick that it was visible to the naked eye.
Fang Heng glanced at both sides of the rock wall.
Very strange.
The black mist has a strong corrosive effect, but the magic array patterns on the rock wall have remained unaffected by the black mist for a long time and are still operating stably.
Upon closer inspection, the black mist seemed to be alive, slowly wriggling along the surface of the array patterns, yet it did not erode the array patterns themselves.
The array patterns showed no reaction of repulsion or purification to the black mist.
The two actually coexisted?
why?
"Looks like we've arrived."
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead.
The group had reached the end of the steps, and an underground space appeared before them.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
The black mist, like thick ink, filled the entire underground space, constantly churning and surging.
The light emanating from Feng Tia's Halberd of Poseidon could only spread less than ten meters, flickering and sometimes being swallowed by the rolling black mist, and sometimes piercing through the black mist with a blue light.
Through the faint blue light, one could see that the ground and rock walls of the space were covered with countless magic arrays, far more complex than what they had seen on the ground at the bottom of the abyss.
The magic circles were densely packed, layer upon layer, nested in one ring, with the patterns of the arrays connected in layers, like an all-encompassing spider web that stretched from the ground to every corner of the field of vision.
It's over.
The three alchemists felt a chill run down their spines when they saw this.
The magic circle in the hall was several times stronger and more complex than the one outside, and its difficulty far exceeded their imagination.
Unfortunately, they couldn't even figure out the magic circle outside...
have to.
The three looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.
Charlene was also somewhat surprised.
Her mastery of alchemy had reached the demigod level, but the scale and complexity of the magic circle in the hall completely overturned her understanding.
Alchemy in ancient times...
It seems to be a completely different path from the present one. (End of Chapter)
