Chapter 370 Sacred Cave
Seeing the old man walking into the whirlpool and disappearing into the blood in the blink of an eye, Hao Ren was a little dazed: Gelton looked old and frail, but he didn't expect that he was such a bachelor at heart, and he didn't even hesitate when he stepped in. .
He was about to say out loud that he had a detector here...but it seemed that the detector was no longer needed now.
The magisters who came with them, whether they were church members or Ofra's subordinates, were quite shocked when they saw this scene. Vivian couldn't help but frown: "...Although it is a good thing to be religious here, but The rector doesn’t need to go to such extreme lengths... he can totally find other ways to detect what’s underneath the vortex first.”
At this moment, a light golden beam suddenly rose from the bottom of the maelstrom, interrupting Vivian's words. After seeing the beam, Ofra nodded: "It's a signal from the Rector. It looks like it's safe down there." .”
As she said that, she adjusted her equipment and turned to look at her cronies behind her: "You guys wait here. If the whirlpool cannot return the same way, we will return to the church in the town through the teleportation stone. Regular contact.”
After speaking, she looked at Hao Ren and the others: "Now it seems that the situation here is worse than what we expected in the town. The situation below this vortex is unpredictable. You have the right to choose to withdraw. As mercenaries, you have far exceeded your expectations. Colleagues, if you quit here, no one will laugh at you..."
Before she finished speaking, Hao Ren stood up with an upright face: "What are you talking about! We have a good name... The mercenary group has always kept its promises. If you say you want to accompany you, you will definitely do it. You jump first or I jump first?" ?" He couldn't help but be arrogant: the four bearded men were watching from behind. It is estimated that with the stubbornness of these four kings, they would not be willing to toss a group of "Chosen Spirits" under the whirlpool today.
Ofra took a deep look at Hao Ren, and it was hard to fathom how deep the meaning in her eyes was. Then she turned around and stepped into the whirlpool, wrapped in a translucent shield like an "aura" that pushed away the surrounding lake water. In the blink of an eye he disappeared into the vast whirlpool. Behind her, the old werewolf who was her follower also jumped down.
Betsy held Hao Ren's hand: "You have to make sure the one-button stop button 'outside' works..."
Before she finished speaking, Lily rushed forward excitedly: "Let's go, let's go -" knocking a group of people down.
"Goddess bless you." The four bearded men also made a religious gesture on their chests, and the Prime Minister solemnly filed in.
The heavy rain poured down and the whirlpool remained unchanged. A group of people soon disappeared in the vast blood, as if they had never appeared.
Hao Ren felt like the world was spinning. Even though he had a shield to resist the lake water, he was still thrown around by the whirlpool. He felt like he was being thrown into a washing machine and was being stirred wildly. His eyes were filled with red, all the way up, down, left, and right. He couldn't tell clearly. He could only judge that he was quickly approaching deep water based on the dimming light around him. In the dizzy state, he finally couldn't help but think of the benefits of Nangong Wuyue - if there was help from the siren girl, he would definitely be much more comfortable than now! That is a super god-level assistant that allows people to walk casually in the deep sea trench!
He didn't know how long he had been mixed up in this crazy rotation. Suddenly, Hao Ren's eyes lit up, and then his body fell rapidly. He felt like he was being rushed into a deep pool with a waterfall-like current. After flopping around for a while, I finally surfaced.
Lily's voice came from the side: "Pfft - I'm going to die, I'm going to die... I guess hanging on the ceiling fan and turning it on in fifth gear for a day is just like this..."
Then Hao Ren felt a furry head bump into his arms: Lily was still unconscious, and after a few paddles in the water, she instinctively swam towards the smell she was most familiar with.
"Is everyone okay?" Hao Ren shouted to the others while trying to regain his focus, and then the responses from Vivian, Ofra and others came from nearby. A moment later, a particularly loud sound of falling into the water came from behind, followed by Yzaks' muffled voice: "I'm coming down too."
Then after a while, I heard the sound of Yzaks splashing water and salvaging things from behind: "I seem to have hit someone..."
When Hao Ren heard this, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He thought to himself that Y'zaks was such a powerful person. If he fell from any height, he would be equivalent to a plumb bob of the same volume. He didn't know who was unlucky enough to let this macho man take the lead. Smashed it. Just when he was curious, the bearded and calm voice came from Yzaks: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this is the test of the goddess..."
Hao Ren turned his head and glanced, and quickly greeted: "Master, please stop the bleeding on your head first..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the goddess's test always comes suddenly..."
"Stop talking nonsense, the goddess won't test your hematopoietic ability or tetanus resistance!"
After confirming that everyone had landed safely, Hao Ren had time to look at the surrounding environment and find a place to land. He looked up and looked around, and immediately found that he was in a huge hollow that was wide, spectacular and terrifying.
This place looks like a roughly circular cave with an unknown geometry, and its scale can almost be regarded as an underground universe. The four walls of the cave are dotted with pieces of strange shimmering substances, whether they are minerals or luminous fungi. These light sources prevent the underground space from being completely dark. Hao Ren and the others can completely ignore it with their super eyesight. Impeded action. Hao Ren saw many karst tunnel-like structures scattered on the cave wall in the distance, and guessed that they should lead to far away places - even to the root system of the twisted forest.
The terrain in the center of the cave is deeply sunken, and now it has formed a pool of water. The red liquid filled in the pool shows that it is water cascading down from the Blood Lake. Hao Ren looked up at the cave dome and found that the very high dome showed an unusually neat structure, as if it had been artificially built into a perfect half-bowl shape. The dome was upside down on the top of the cave, with a slightly broken center part. A large hole was opened, and a waterfall-like red lake water poured down from the large hole, making the entire cave reverberate with a huge sound of water.
That's where everyone falls.
Hao Ren saw Ofra and Gelton had already landed by the pool, and he swam harder. However, he felt a tightness on his back as soon as he swam out a short distance, and a group of small bats grabbed his body and pulled him directly. He sent it to the shore. Vivian's figure then took shape next to him: "You are the captain, and you need grace at this time - I didn't expect that your swimming posture would be so ugly without Nangong Wuyue's help."
Hao Ren was immediately embarrassed, while Lily was fluttering on her hands and knees in the water while shouting to Vivian on the shore: "You are partial! Why don't you come and help me!"
Vivian smacked her lips: "You are quite impressive..."
Hao Ren ignored the two enemies and looked back at the pool. The water pouring down from the cave dome is still pouring into the water pool, but for a while, the water pool will not be significantly expanded. The scale of the latter is really not small. If the hole at the bottom of the Blood Lake does not continue to expand, it should not be used for the time being. Worried about being completely flooded here. And when Hao Ren saw the cave entrances around the cave, he felt that the underground world should be wider than he imagined - even if the entire blood lake really leaked out, it might not be able to fill it up.
Because everyone has their own means of avoiding water, even Betsy received a life-support shield generator originally used in space from Hao Ren, so everyone did not need to dry their clothes after landing, and took a short rest before starting. Explore this place. The four bearded men were a little excited: this magnificent underground cave seemed to them like a miracle, and it perfectly matched the characteristics of the "sacred cave" they knew. Therefore, they were more interested in the identity of Hao Ren and others as the "Chosen Spirits" It is certain.
Hao Ren also murmured a little in his heart. After seeing such a large-scale underground world, he was instinctively shocked, so much so that he was more in awe of the first pope who had explored this place three thousand years ago. He whispered to Weiwei An murmured: "Is it really because we are the chosen ones that we opened such an incredible place?"
Vivian raised her head and carefully observed some rock patterns on the dome, and suddenly her face became strange: "...I'm afraid not, we have made trouble again."
Hao Ren: "Huh?"
Vivian raised her finger and pointed at the luminous lines on the dome: "That is some kind of magic array. Although I have never seen it, I guess this magic array is used to sense the chosen spirit. It has a typical remote detection structure... …”
Hao Ren was confused about the magic circle: "Then what?"
Vivian pointed to the big hole in the dome: "The magic circle was not opened when it sensed the Chosen Spirit, but... was shaken by the sound of the spacecraft explosion. I'm afraid the real Chosen Spirit hasn't arrived yet. !”
Hao Ren: "..."
Sure enough, the fairy tales created by mortals are unreliable, and any secret treasure that can only be opened by a destined person is nonsense. Faced with the "chance" talk of the gods, a big boom can solve all troubles: the sacred cave is used to detect the sky. The door of opportunity for the Spirit of Choice was not opened, it was really blown open!
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Don't tell Big Beard and the others about this yet..."
