Seeing the light from the exit, the people who were running away like crazy were like drowning people who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. Strong hope suddenly appeared in their eyes, and they couldn't help but run faster.
Soon, all the students who could still escape rushed out of the corridor before the darkness behind them caught up with them.
Fortunately, behind them, the darkness in the corridor did not surge out, but stopped moving forward after swallowing the entire corridor.
As if blocked by an invisible wall, a vague circular black spot was left on the stone wall behind everyone.
"Everyone, are you okay?"
Staring at the subdued darkness behind her in shock, Alyssa exhaled and began to confirm the status of her teammates.
"It's okay...it's just that the magic power has been consumed a bit."
Mondolo, Roach, Matt and others responded one after another, but the number of people in the team was already three less than when they arrived, with only six people left.
After observing for a while and confirming that they were truly out of danger, everyone finally had some free time and began to look at the surrounding environment.
They are currently located in a vast underground hall. Different from the environment on the surface of the ruins, there are not many traces of artificial carvings here. Instead, it is more like a huge natural cave.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was a strange smell in the air, similar to that of wet earth. The top of the cave exuded a faint blue glow, which seemed to come from a strange luminous moss.
The door behind him did not open on the wall on the side of the hall as everyone imagined, but opened on the surface of an extremely huge dark stone pillar.
The shape of the stone pillar is somewhat similar to a stalactite, but it is hundreds of times larger. The previous round door was four to five meters high, and it did not look crowded at all on the surface of the stone pillar.
And looking around, there are hundreds of stone pillars of the same size in this 'hall'!
Some of the stone pillars have been broken, and there is still a trace of terrifying magic power left in the fractures, as well as huge tear marks from the paw prints of monsters.
Obviously, when the tide of dark beasts was raging before, this hidden place may have been entered by many powerful monsters.
At this time, some scattered students, including Claire and Anvis, also appeared at the base of other stone pillars.
When they saw each other, everyone was surprised at first, and then more or less disappointed.
I thought I was the only one who could discover this secret passage, but it turned out that there was more than one secret passage leading to the final location.
It's like hearing your beloved boyfriend/girlfriend say, 'You are the only one for me'. It turned out later that the so-called only thing was a group with the same name.
But soon, everyone's eyes were attracted to a huge structure shaped like an altar and hundreds of meters in diameter in the center of the hall.
The material of the altar is similar to that of the cave wall. It is also a dark rock structure, but it has a slight obsidian-like glass luster.
At the top of the altar, a huge ancient black stone bell with a rough surface was lying on its side, like a toy abandoned by a giant.
Neither the altar nor the body of the stone clock emitted any magic fluctuations.
At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Hughes, the vice president of the college who was presiding over the competition, was standing on the altar, facing the stone bell.
In fact, there is more than one Ninth Level in the cave at this moment, but the other Ninth Levels have hidden their figures and have not been discovered by many students.
Which passage's exit leads here?
Looking at the stone clock with a slight frown, all the ninth steps were a little confused.
Although the location of this hall is indeed very hidden, it is not a real secret room. Instead, there is a normal main passage that leads to other parts of the ruins.
Those dark creatures rushed into this huge hall through that passage.
Their last traces also disappeared here. But those traces did not rush up to the altar, but seemed to evaporate directly in this cave i.
Many ninth-level people looked at each other and were a little undecided. Then, it was the vice president of the college who spoke and told the many students in the hall about the current situation.
"Students, you have broken into an unexpected place.
Previously, those passages had not actually been discovered by explorers, and the traps in the passages had not been triggered, which greatly increased the risk of exploration. I'm sorry to see the attrition of i among you.
As compensation and reward for arriving here, the scores of all teams will be increased by 500 points——"
After saying something that cheered up everyone present, the vice-dean raised his staff lightly, and a ball of light suddenly condensed out and floated to one side of the cave.
"You have two choices now. One, leave here through the main passage marked by the light ball over there; two, explore here first. There may be dangers, but all the harvests still belong to the discoverers."
As his words fell, many students quickly made their choices with actions.
Explore the cave -
With the ninth-level deputy dean looking after him, it would be an unforgivable waste not to take the opportunity to explore this cave that seems to be related to adventure!
Soon, everyone dispersed and started searching throughout the cave.
Of course, the huge and obviously extraordinary altar in the center received the most attention.
Many students climbed onto the altar immediately to see if they could try their luck and accidentally trigger something.
However, Claire and Anvis did not choose to investigate the altar. Instead, they first began to study the nearby environment to see if there was any information related to this rock hall.
Just now in the corridor, something unknown tried to attack Anvis, but was frightened away by the vague aura of the old secret scriptures on his body.
On the contrary, the Mysteries of the Old Ones seem to be very interested in that kind of thing. But since the main body is not here, the breath of the old secret scriptures jumped in vain for a while, and then could only become quiet again unwillingly.
However, Anvis felt that it seemed to have recorded the scent of the thing just now.
While observing the cave environment, Anvis was also looking at the students in the cave.
It must be said that as the top professional college in the empire, the quality of Pamir's students is unmatched by any other college in the empire.
There are five or six children of destiny gathered here alone.
With a quick glance, Anvis even saw the figure of a certain silver-haired girl [Summer Night Firefly] in the crowd.
Although he said no, his body still came in honestly.
While looking at the people in the cave, Anvis' eyes gradually locked on one of the boys with blond hair and green eyes.
That was the child of destiny who triggered the secret here in his previous life, Renn.
As if destined, he still came here in this time that was decades earlier than in his previous life.
After sensing it for a while, Anvis immediately judged Renn's current strength.
His true strength is only around level two, and the only two teammates around him are both men.
