King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 808: Can't Catch Up

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

"elevator?"

At the end of the spiral staircase was a circular platform, which made Yu Jin associate it with an elevator at first sight.

"should be."

The young man ran to the platform and stretched out his legs to step on the bulge in the center.

"Click..."

The sound of the mechanism being triggered rang out, and then the three of them slowly sank into the ground. The elevator shaft was very deep, and it was surrounded by unknown thickness of steel. Being in it made people feel suffocated.

"Boom!"

Finally, the long steel pipeline came to an end, and everyone truly arrived underground in Melo Petersburg.

This is a wide underground space, all covered with hard steel. But what is most different from the outside and what attracts the most attention is the light blue-purple fluorescence lingering in the air.

The source of these fluorescent lights is the huge door in front of everyone.

The road ahead was blocked by a giant door that was more than ten meters high, and the fluorescent light came from behind the gap in the door.

"Huh...huh..."

The young master's heavy breathing sounded in the ears of Yu Jin and Carter. They turned their heads and found that his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

"It seems that the primordial fetal sea is not far away." Seeing this, Yu Jin said jokingly.

"That's right, but before that, does anyone know how to open this door?"

Carter walked to the giant gate and touched the surface. The strange touch instantly made him realize that the gate was definitely not made of ordinary steel, but a more complex and tougher material.

After just one look, he gave up the idea of ​​forcing his way in. But unfortunately, people's ideas could not be mutually understood.

While Carter was studying the winch to open the door, the young master couldn't wait. His heart was pounding, and his subconscious mind always had the urge to rush forward.

The young master did not suppress this impulse. On the contrary, he was also eager to go behind the gate.

"Get out of the way! Watch me."

Seeing that Carter and Yu Jin were surrounding the capstan for a long time without any clue as to what was going on, the young master waved his hand and told them to stay away.

Seeing the two people disperse, he lowered his body. Then, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared and rushed towards the closed door in front of him.

"Boom!"

A dull collision sound was heard in this underground space. The air above the door shook violently a few times, and then... nothing happened.

"Hiss..., what is this door made of?! It's so hard?!!"

The young master shook his palms and jumped down from the door with a grin. The result of such a big commotion just now was just a shallow fist mark on the door.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's how you like to use brute force no matter what happens." Seeing the young master's miserable appearance, Yu Jin mocked him without realizing it.

"Hey! Carter, can you see what's going on?"

"It takes time. This winch is not an ordinary winch." Carter squatted aside and gestured. When he heard the young master's question, he did not forget to take the time to respond.

Hearing this, the young master stopped clamoring to force the door open. Judging from the feeling of hammering just now, even if he could make a hole in this door, he would be exhausted.

Considering that he might have to go to the original fetal sea next, the young master felt that he should save some energy.

After thinking about it for a while, the young master's anxiety was relieved a lot, and even his red face turned pale - it was comfortable to be lazy with a clear conscience.

But soon, his wishful thinking failed.

"Ka... ka ka!"

There was the sound of machinery turning again, but it was not made by Carter. The three looked towards the source of the sound in surprise, only to see that the elevator that had taken them down before was rising again.

"It's over, I've been discovered!"

The young master stood up with a start and quickly ran to Carter's side: "How about it, do you have any clue?"

"Well... I'm afraid there's not enough time."

Carter wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head.

"Damn it! Is it possible that we can only storm it by force?" Looking at the gate in front of him that was as heavy as a mountain, the young master couldn't help but feel a toothache.

After all these bangs and hits, his hands are probably almost broken.

"Uh... not necessarily."

In the distance, Yu Jin's voice could be heard. The two looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that he had already run to the bottom of the elevator shaft. "If the door can't be opened, the elevator shaft can always be destroyed." Looking up at the deep elevator shaft, Yu Jin could vaguely see the elevator slowly falling.

But let’s stop here.

"Boom! Boom!"

He stretched out his legs and kicked out. Yu Jin's movements were done in one go, and he kicked both sides of the elevator shaft.

"Kakaka!"

Visible cracks spread from the bottom of the elevator shaft to the top. Now that the foundation is in this state, collapse is only a matter of time.

But before that could happen, Ember had already escaped from the elevator shaft.

The materials used for the elevator are obviously not as carefully selected as those for the door. Except for the outermost layer which is made of iron sheet, the interior is still made of ordinary concrete.

After the embers left, the elevator shaft below could no longer hold on.

"Wow!"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The rubble collapsed, dust flew up, and the elevator shaft was blocked. Faintly, one could hear angry roars coming from above.

"I knew the Fatui had bad intentions. They should have handcuffed him from the beginning!"

"Dig quickly! We must not let them get into the restricted area!"

Leosli's voice was transmitted here through an unknown thick layer of soil. Even though the sound was distorted a lot, the anger in it could still be felt.

"Are you putting the blame on me again?" The young master had a vague feeling.

"How is that possible? I didn't say a word. There must be a misunderstanding between you and him!" Yu Jin waved his hand, telling the young master not to worry about it.

Just as the two were arguing about whether to pass the buck or not, Carter, who had been busy for a long time, finally cracked the capstan.

"All right!"

"Huh... Fortunately, I learned some mechanical things from Alan before, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle this thing."

After muttering a few words, Carter couldn't wait to grab the winch with both hands and start turning it.

"Boom!"

The winch turned a certain angle, and the whole space suddenly shook a few times. Then, several people heard the roar from above become louder.

"The door is opened! How is it possible!"

"Give me the tools! I want to dig it myself!"

Hearing the grunting sound of digging above, Carter couldn't help but exert a little more strength.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Rumble..."

After three loud bangs, the gate that was as stable as a mountain in front of the three people finally rose slowly.

Behind the gate... there is another gate! And it seems to be even thicker.

The young master rubbed his eyes in disbelief. What was going on? Could there be a ghost wall here?
Fortunately, shortly after the first gate was raised, the second steel gate also rose.

The result... of course it was the gate! And it was even thicker than the previous two. Seeing this, the young master was both annoyed and relieved.

Fortunately, he did not insist on attacking by force, otherwise there would be three steel doors, each thicker than the last, which would take a long time to open.

The third and heaviest gate also rose up. This time, no new gate appeared behind it, but instead there was a sudden strong blue-purple fluorescence.

At the same time, the young master's heart suddenly began to beat.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Woo——"

The roar of the whale sounded again in his ears. Not only did he hear the sound, but the young man even saw a huge narwhal swimming past him.

But when he rubbed his eyes, all of this disappeared.

The young master no longer hesitated, and was absolutely sure that this was the place he was looking for.

"sieve!"

After creating a gust of wind, he rushed over.
