The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1240 The Disappearing Prestige (3)

Flying empty several times in a row is indeed a blow to morale, but if you add all the options that still need to be searched, this kind of emptying will happen again and again.

Besides, even if you search every corner of the entire building complex of Quanwang Xing, there is no 100% guarantee that there will be information needed by the monks. This can only be regarded as a kind of gamble, at most it is a gamble with a certain success rate .

Leaving the ruins where nothing could be found, Lin Tianci and Petra continued to explore, not to mention how big the entire planet Quanwang is, at least it is necessary to read all the parts that can be seen.

In this underground canyon, there are more than a dozen ruins of different positions and sizes scattered here and there, and the terrain of the canyon is not very flat. The further you go, the steeper the slope becomes. People are almost standing on a hillside of about 60° and proceed carefully, and they must also be careful not to slip on mushrooms or mud.

The spring water flowing from one side of the canyon also forms streams along the slope and flows into the center of the canyon. Of course, be careful not to step on the water hidden in the mushroom.

Lin Tianci could ignore the influence of the terrain with his light work, but Petra obviously didn't have such agility. As a result, apart from almost slipping and falling several times, the speed of the two of them was also greatly reduced.

As time went by, the relic buildings that fell from above were cleared from the beginning to the end, and Lin Tianci and the others went deeper and deeper into the canyon.

At the end of the water flow, you can see an irregular hole about four or five meters wide, and the stream in the underground canyon finally flows into this hole.

After studying the surrounding soil, Saili and Petra said that the vicinity had collapsed once, but the stone part that fell from above blocked it, and the big hole in front of them should be washed out by groundwater.

Considering that this meant that the bottom was empty, Lin Tianci and Petra didn't dare to stay nearby, and tried to go around to avoid falling half to death.

It was already five or six hours after they had explored all the ruins as far as they could see.They came in around noon, and now it's almost dusk outside.

It's just that Petra's interest is particularly high, and she hasn't been hungry since she didn't have lunch, but Lin Tianci doesn't need it at all.

But harvest...

very subtle.

It’s not completely fruitless. Petra found the complete star map used in the old empire in the wreckage of the ruins, and successfully copied a copy with photocopying. This thing will help in finding the Avis passage in the future. will help.

A large number of etiquette records about the sacrifices and ceremonies of the old empire were also found. Some magic items that have become waste products may have a perfect level thousands of years ago, but no one has used them for too long. turned into waste.

But still haven't found the key, the astronomical data related to Avis.

On the way, we also encountered elemental creatures jumping out to disrupt the situation. As the saying goes, the first time is born and the second time is familiar. As long as the number is not too large, Lin Tianci can settle it by himself.

And every time an elemental creature dies, their corpses will turn into a spot of light and fly away.

According to Sai Li, if Lin Tianci could follow the light spots, he might be able to find the Warlock King's Staff.However, Petra still couldn't keep up with Lin Tianci's footsteps. It's really wrong to leave her here alone. Besides, the spot of light flew too fast. At first Lin Tianci wanted to chase two steps, but later he simply ignored.

It is indeed good to have powerful magic items, but Lin Tianci's current thoughts are obviously not on that.

Don't be discouraged after spending hours exploring and not finding what you're looking for.

Because don't look at the ruins of more than a dozen buildings that fell from above, the part of Quan Wangxing above the head is much larger than this, and there are still places that can be explored.

But then they faced another problem.

how to get up.

Petra doesn't know how to fly, and she usually relies on the Celestial Pegasus Joanna to travel quickly, but she can't be summoned underground, and it's not easy to climb up the canyon and the height difference of nearly 60 meters above.

So Lin Tianci threw out the mechanism bird to investigate the surrounding environment, and found an easier place to climb on the stone wall near the side of the canyon.

There is a naturally formed hole below it, and not far after entering, you can see layers of raised stones that alternately 'grow' out, which looks a bit like a natural ladder.

Compared with the almost straight up and down stone wall, it is already very easy to climb here. At that time, I will use gold thread as a safety rope to tie Petra's waist. The strands are pulled.

As the hole detected by Liguanniao got closer, Lin Tianci heard a whining sound, which sounded like a woman crying.

"This kind of underground space is not completely airless as imagined. It mainly depends on the underground structure. Sometimes when the gas cavity buried underground breaks, gusts of wind will be generated, and the flow of groundwater will also bring a large amount of air. The wind blows When you pass through some specially shaped pipes or stones, you will make this sound."

Petra probably thought that Lin Tianci was surprised by the voice, but in fact, this level of common sense has already been said before when he approached science in his previous life...

While talking, the two stepped into the cave, their vision was suddenly blocked, and the lighting ball of the dancing light technique slowly floated five meters away in front of them.

Soon, after walking less than seven or eight meters away, they came to the place that the mechanism bird had seen before.

This is like a vertical hole like a shaft, which is not formed by the flow of groundwater, but more like a lava tube left after a lava eruption.

Knock on the wall, and you can clearly see the foamy black basalt with pores, which is the proof of the formation of lava after cooling.

But this thing is indeed strong enough, not the hard and brittle shale formed by accumulation, and it is easier to climb.

In order to ensure safety, Lin Tianci walked in two steps first, and by the way, he also saw where it would be more reliable to inject golden strands as a safety rope.

Visually, this almost vertical lava tube should be able to reach near the ruins of Quanwangxing. At that time, just use a laser sword to cut an exit, and the rest will be up to you.

Looking left and right, he didn't find any danger, Lin Tianci waved to Petra:

"I'll tie you a safety rope later, and I'll follow you with my sword, so I won't fall off."

It's really inconvenient that Yu Jianfei can't take mortals with him, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome, Lin Tianci can go up with just one ejection start.

Petra is not the kind of scholar who hides in the office all day long. She is considered a remarkable activist in this line of work. With her dragon veins, she is even healthier than Lin Tianci in terms of physique.

Although climbing this shaft is tiring, the physical strength must be sufficient.

Petra nodded, moved the satchel behind her back, so as not to get in the way when she climbed up later, and then walked towards Lin Tianci.

But when she stepped into this shaft-like cave, a crisp sound entered the ears of the two.

- Click.

It sounded like the sound of the ice cracking, and what was even more damning was that the sound came from under the two of them.

Looking down, you can see a slender gap cracked on the ground where Petra stepped on, and it began to slowly extend a little bit in the direction of Lin Tianci.

Sally immediately said:

"It may be a fragile shale layer below, probably unable to support the weight of Petra."

In terms of weight, Petra is much lighter than Lin Tianci, it's not that...

Then, Lin Tianci saw the big backpack on Petra.

"Aren't you still carrying the stone slab you dug out earlier?"

"Of course I have it. It's the stone slab under the statue of the god. I don't worry about giving it to West's workers to put it away."

"..."

No wonder Petra's backpack is always bulging. Lin Tianci was a little puzzled about what she was carrying, but it turned out to be a large stone.

But this is not the point, the point is that the feet are about to collapse.

"In short, you go back first, go back slowly, and don't worry about me."

Lin Tianci can fly and has the strength to follow the wind. It doesn't matter if his feet really collapse, as long as Petra doesn't fall, he can talk about anything.

Because Petra has only stepped in a few steps, she is also the closest to the entrance of the cave, so it is not a big problem to retreat slowly.

Although this girl always acted rather reckless, she was obviously not a fool who was completely ignorant of fear, and the fact that her feet might collapse at any time also made her a little nervous.

Carefully controlling the center of gravity, Petra tried to move as fast as possible without causing much movement back.

Because I held my breath, the surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the crackling sound of Petra's moving footsteps. The crack lengthened a little bit with Petra's movements, but it hadn't reached the level of complete cracking. Petra will be back to safety before it breaks open.

Seeing that victory was in sight, at this time, there was another change.

Lin Tianci keenly heard the suppressed scream coming from above, it was definitely not the sound of the wind, it felt more like he wanted to scream, but suddenly he covered his mouth with his hand, making the sound a bit muffled.

Raising his hand and pointing, the dancing light ball surrounding Lin Tianci quickly floated upwards, wanting to see what was in the dark pipeline.

But the first thing that catches the eye is a white mist. The thick mist seems to be composed of water vapor, and it is almost as opaque as the five fingers can't be stretched out. When the lighting of the dancing light technique hits it, it looks more like a large ball of white cotton. Quickly approach Lin Tianci and Petra below.

"Cloud element?"

The cloud element is also a kind of elemental creature, which is a hybrid variant of the fire element and the water element. This elemental creature is immune to the physical attack of the wind element and has the ability to float, but the speed is not fast enough, and the attack power is not strong enough.

However, Lin Tianci obviously didn't know this thing. Just when he was about to ask Saili what the cloud and mist element was, the huge white mist hit Lin Tianci's face like an entity, with a slight In the warm water mist, Lin Tianci also heard a subdued female scream.

At the same time, the fragile shale under my feet let out an uneasy moan, and then I felt empty...
