Wei Ling's firm thoughts gave Xiao the courage to live alone:
"Yes, I believe Brother Welling, let's continue."
With the simple access road, the traveling speed has become much faster.
All the way down, at the end, the bottom of the wide ground fissure canyon became nearly a thousand meters wide.
The weak light gradually became dimmer, even the bryophytes disappeared, and the river valley still gurgled louder, presumably because too many trickles had gathered and turned into a river.
The paths became wider and more regular, and the gravel became smaller and finer.
Soon, a huge lake appeared in front, and a gust of wind full of water vapor came towards us. The cold lake water neutralized the originally slightly sultry temperature.
The previous sound of the river also disappeared, and the river quietly merged into the lake.
The dark lake is quiet and deep, like dark amber.
In the world in Welling's eyes, countless data are dripping.
He unexpectedly discovered that the water level of this lake was actually the same as the Qoltan Spirit Fish Lake a few days ago.
The reason for this discovery was that the absolute altitude figures were the same even after the decimal point. This gave Welling a bold idea.
Could it be that this lake is connected to Qoltan Lingyu Lake, and it is for this reason that Granny Dan knows about Lingyu?
Welling didn't have time to make any more speculations, and like the other five people, they were all a little confused.
There is a large artificial structure by the lake.
It was a flat, paved square.
The size of this square is enough to accommodate medium-sized vehicles.
The cross-star-shaped reflective logo stop at the center of the square confirms the role of the square.
This result verified Welling's initial guess that the vehicle could fly into the cracks in the ground and stop at this location, but the direction in which the vehicle flew in was not in the direction they walked in.
Several people walked quickly to the square and looked around.
In the dim light, they saw that on the other side of the square, the path continued downward.
It turns out that the bottom of the crack in the ground is not the lake, but is still on the lakeside side, continuing to extend downward, and it is bottomless.
Looking down from the lake, there was a faint red light flickering in the distance.
Several people could not determine how far away the red light was from below, because there was something even more shocking to them.
On the other side of the square, there is a huge arched door leading to the inside of the mountain.
Nothing could be seen within the dark arch.
And just under the arch, there are three plastic water tanks.
Those were the three boxes that Renshi and the others used to store the spirit fish.
Several people looked at each other and imagined countless rock bottom situations, but this was not the case.
Facts have proved that there must be people who have settled in this Abyss of Sighs for a long time, and the scale is not small.
Not only did they build such a standard square and berths, but also this huge arched door.
The wide paved road disappears into the arch, and no one knows what is inside.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
During their detection, no signs of life were found.
Wei Ling threw a message to Xiao Duhuo:
"Two options, one is to enter the arch and look for traces of Zhenshi and the others, but there is a high chance of encountering Granny Dan.
The second is to continue going down the path to the lowest point of the crack in the ground to see if the slightly red light is the lowest point. "
Welling left the decision to Xiao Duhuo. After all, he was the initiator of the Nuggets.
Xiao Duhuo was a little confused. He went straight down. Whether he could follow the path to the bottom was unclear.
There are also unpredictable risks when entering the huge arch.
Before Xiao Duhuo had time to make a choice, the situation changed again.
Everyone discovered that dots of lights were lit up around the square and inside the arch.
The lights on the square are the kind of guide lights that are embedded in the ground and only protrude a little.
The dim yellow light of the floor lamp looked very dim in the dark underground canyon, and could only illuminate a small circle of the surrounding ground.
The lighting inside the arch was probably made from tunnel spotlights from the old era. Two rows of overhead lamps emitted a yellowish light, illuminating the entire tunnel and extending into the depths of the mountain.
"You're already here, but why don't you come in? Do you need me to come out and invite you in person?"
An old voice directly impressed everyone's hearts.
Xiao Duhuo's heart sank, what was supposed to come had come.
Wei Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at Shou Gong.
What a powerful warlock this is!
According to their detection, there were no other life forms within 500 meters of the surrounding area.
Wei Ling's consciousness did not notice the presence of anyone else in the world of Yuanling.
It seems that the magical ability of high-level warlocks is by no means just a few meters or a few hundred meters.
Li Lingyou also said at the beginning not to enter the five-meter range of the warlock. That was an iron rule.
Now it seems that it is only for junior warlocks.
For mid-level warlocks, even fifty meters is actually not enough. When he was in Bohu County, Murong Langgan used plants as a medium for his wood spirit detection spells, and the casting distance was already five hundred meters. .
Several people looked at each other and bowed to the tall arch by default.
Are there any other options?
The answer is yes. Cooperating with the other party's requirements may be the prerequisite for saving one's life.
They did not abandon the "Mountain Ghost" platform and walked directly towards the arch.
When passing the three water tanks under the arch, Welling took a look at the water tanks.
The water tank is empty. It seems that Granny Dan has accepted those spiritual fish.
Walking into the arch, the grandeur of this tunnel becomes even more apparent.
The tunnel was still built slanting downward, and the ground was paved with relatively smooth granite, which dimly reflected the light from the top of the cave.
From the sound of footsteps, the gecko had already determined that the visible surface of this huge tunnel was paved piece by piece with 1 meter thick granite.
Behind the granite, there is a layer of steel plate about thirty centimeters, and around the steel plate, there is a three-meter concrete filling layer.
After throwing this information to Welling, Welling's first reaction was a few words:
Fortress of Doom.
Before the Great Annihilation, both the West Xuan World and the East Earth World built many doomsday fortresses to prevent nuclear explosions.
In fact, whether it is the Eastern Earth or the Western Xuan world, it was only possible to recover to its current state in such a short period of nearly two hundred years after the Great Annihilation, all because of these large and small doomsday fortresses.
These fortresses retain human technology, culture, population, and everything related, and there will be no major chronological gaps, allowing the world to develop again very quickly.
Most of the top doomsday fortresses are deep underground, some even thousands of meters deep, and are protected by steel plates, concrete, granite and even lead plates.
Not surprisingly, this place should be a top-notch doomsday fortress built by a country in the Xixuan world during the Great Annihilation. It took advantage of the thousands-meter-deep Abyss of Sighs and built various facilities inside the mountain.
It is now the residence of Granny Tam.
The group of people walked uneasily, and the reverberation of their footsteps echoed loudly in the silent tunnel.
Whenever they walked out for a while, the lights behind them silently turned off.
Is this a problem with the power supply inside the fortress?
Or is it because it has been too long, the power supply facilities are aging and the power is not enough, so Granny Tam is saving electricity?
Welling guessed silently.
After walking down like this for nearly 20 minutes, at the end of the tunnel was a half-opened door.
This is a heavy door that slides on both sides.
The left half is still closed, and the right door slides into the mountain, leaving half of the passage, which is still spacious.
Everyone discovered that the gate turned out to be a four-layer structure, with one-meter-thick alloy steel plates and dozens of centimeters-thick lead plates stacked on top of each other.
Not to mention the weight of the gate, it is estimated that moving the gate requires huge energy support.
As soon as I walked through the door, the lights inside came on again one by one.
The half of the door behind him that was not closed before closed silently layer by layer.
Everyone's eyes were fixed, and what they saw in front of them made them feel a little horrified.
Behind the door, under the bright lights, everyone can see that there is a hall.
Directly above the hall, there are several large and soft sofa chairs.
Those sofa seats look elegant and wealthy, and they must be very comfortable to sit on.
Outside the soft filling layer, there is thick dark red velvet. On the velvet, there are golden Xixuan-style patterns, which are complex and orderly, shining under the light.
What scares everyone is naturally not these luxurious sofas and chairs.
It's the person sitting on the large sofa chair in the middle.
That was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, a beautiful girl.
She has delicate facial features, fair skin, chestnut hair, black eyes, and wears a white robe with light gold florals.
To be precise, she was not sitting on the sofa. She was lying on her side, using the armrest of the sofa on one side as a backrest and the armrest on the other side as a leg rest. Her white bare feet were lifted from the white robe. His hem was exposed and was swinging up and down comfortably.
The girl tilted her head, with an inexplicable smile on her lips, watching the group of people walk in calmly, cautiously, or tremblingly.
Wei Ling, Shou Gong and Xiao Duhuo glanced at each other subconsciously:
Damn it, is the Granny Dan they are talking about this girl?
Before they could think about it carefully, they immediately saw the damn Zhenshi and the others.
They were a group of about ten people, all sitting at the bottom of those sofa chairs, several meters away from those sofa seats.
However, what they were sitting on was not a sofa, but a small wooden stool like a small horse.
They sat there in silence, looking very strange.
In fact, it would be imprudent to say that the expressions were there, because those ten or so people had no expressions at all.
They all closed their eyes and mouths tightly, and the muscles on their faces felt a little tense.
Yes, they overall have the reserve and solemnity of the dead.
Wei Ling clearly heard the sound of Mangcao and Shencao swallowing their saliva.
They were so frightened that they almost fell down. It was pretty good that they could hold on without falling.
Xiao Duhuo bit the bullet, bowed and clasped his fists, and threw a message to the girl:
"Excuse me, beautiful girl, does Grandma Dan live here? We are the pangolins of the empire. We are passing by the gold mining team here and have no intention of disturbing each other. We came here as ordered. I don't know what Grandma Dan has ordered."
Wei Ling nodded secretly, Xiao Duhuo still had some sense in asking, and he used some words.
First of all, he does not regard such a beautiful girl in front of him as Granny Dan. The subtext is that he heard that Granny Tam kills people like chickens, so she will definitely not be such a young and beautiful girl.
This is a little flattery.
At the same time, he explained the imperial background of his party and the purpose of coming here, and had no intention of disturbing the master.
Finally, he also expressed his willingness to cooperate with Granny Dan even if she was asked.
However, Xiao Duhuo did not wait for a reply.
His eyes flashed as he noticed that more than ten meters across the way, the girl on the sofa seat had disappeared.
In a blink of an eye, the delicate facial features, fair skin, and chestnut hair were already in front of him, and those black eyes were staring at him.
This girl's standing height is only a little shorter than Xiao Duhuo, and almost the same as Shou Gong.
Looking at him from such a close distance made Xiao Dushuo's hair explode.
"Hehehe... I am Granny Dan!"
The old voice sounded in the sea of consciousness of everyone.
