The 20 minutes passed quickly.
Led by Liang Sen and Lida, the exploration team began to move towards the desolate rift valley.
"Captain, do you think we will gain something at the finish line?" Qiulong came over, feeling a little yearning, a little curious, and a little worried.
After these days of adjustments, Tianyang's condition has improved a lot. He has started to communicate with his teammates, no longer sitting alone in silence, and now eats with everyone.
Even though there was still some lingering haze in his heart, at least he had regained some enthusiasm.
Just like now, hearing what Qiu Long said, he smiled and responded: "It would be better not to hold too high expectations. It doesn't matter whether there is a reward at the end. Our reward is along the way."
"Haven't we gained enough along the way?"
Qiulong and others nodded, and Sean said sincerely: "The captain's words are thought-provoking."
Qiulong followed everyone else and nodded in unison, then pulled Sean over and whispered, "So what did the captain mean by that just now?"
At the edge of the rift, the exploration team came to a downhill road. Liang Sen called out to Tianyang's Galaxy Team and Jiyu's Huayu Team to go down and explore.
The members of the Huayu team are all girls. Hearing this news, Qiulong and the others were a little excited. Except for Yanbing who already has a wife, the others are all passionate young people. At this age, they are full of curiosity about the opposite sex and want to get close to the opposite sex. It is natural.
Tianyang did not interfere with them. He sat by the window and observed his surroundings.
The tanks of the two teams went downhill one after another, driving along the slope slowly downwards.
The slope was uneven, but the road was wide, so there was no need to worry about the chariot falling into the valley. After walking for a while, there was suddenly a light outside the window.
Tianyang thought he was illuminated by the car lights behind him and didn't pay attention. But when he got used to the light outside the window, he actually saw that there was a city under the rift!
Tianyang suddenly stood up from his seat, unable to believe his eyes. Then he discovered that the reason he could see the city was because of the bright and clear sky!
Yes.
Light sprinkled down from the sky, and a few floating clouds drifted leisurely through the sky, casting a large shadow below the city.
This scene would be perfectly normal if seen outside the Clough Gate.
But this was in the Reverse Realm, Tian Yang couldn't help but think that he had seen it wrong, how could there be natural light in the Reverse Realm. And with such a light and peaceful appearance, there was no trace of black fog at all.
How is this going
"What's going on?" Ji Yu's voice came from the radio channel in the car, "Tianyang, did you see it? There is a city under the rift valley, and the sky here is actually bright. This is incredible."
"I saw."
Tianyang asked the driver to stop the car, he opened the door and jumped out.
It wasn’t an illusion after all.
He felt the warmth of the sun on his body, the wind blowing past him, and smelled the fresh scent of grass.
"Oh my God, am I dazzled? There is a city here, and it's daytime?" Qiulong also got out of the car. The sturdy young man had a look of surprise and was as excited as a three-year-old child.
Tianyang could understand his feelings. Even if the base provided synthetic light baths and psychological interventions every once in a while, it was nothing compared to feeling the warmth of the sun on his body and the warmth of the wind on his face.
Sleep.
Sunshine, fresh breeze and the fragrance of flowers are the real elixirs to heal the soul.
Ji Yu had already walked over: "This is very strange. When we were up there, we had clearly conducted wave energy detection, but there was no feedback on any building information."
"But before we even reached the bottom of the rift, we discovered a city, and we also saw the sun. The weather was pretty good."
Tianyang stretched himself, the sun shining on him, he seemed to feel that the haze in his heart had begun to dissipate under the sun. He became active and energetic again, and his mood became relaxed.
"Isn't this good? How long has it been since we last saw the sun? Almost two months, at least?"
"But this is not normal." Ji Yu said worriedly, "We have to report to the captain."
Tianyang nodded in agreement.
"Sunshine, city, and wind?"
The communication was interfered with to a certain extent, which made Liang Sen's voice sound a little distorted, and there were occasional interruptions, but the conversation was still normal.
Tianyang glanced at Jiyu beside him and nodded, "Yes, that's right. Captain, the situation here is a bit special. I suspect there is a crack under the rift."
I still remember when we entered the drifting town, which was one of the countless cracks in the water, Tianyang was startled when he saw the gray sky above his head.
So he thought that there might be a crack in this rift. As to whether it was an inner crack or an ordinary crack, it would take exploration to find out.
"If it is a crack, then it is possible. The crack world cannot be judged by the common sense of the reverse world. Whether it is the size of the space or the things inside, they are different from the reverse world."
"You must be careful. If anything happens, remember to report to me."
After ending the call, Tianyang looked at Jiyu and asked, "Keep going?"
Ji Yu nodded and said, "This is the only way."
The chariot continued to move down, and as time went by, the city was expanding in the eyes of the explorer. Now Tianyang could see that this city was similar to a metropolis, with a large scale and numerous buildings.
Many bridges can be seen in the city. They are scattered at different heights and are distributed throughout the city, forming a three-dimensional transportation network in the city.
The only normal thing here is that the city is very quiet, without any human voice. Even if you are far away, you still feel that there is no human habitation.
Just outside the city, there is a clear river that extends from the depths of the rift valley, passes through the city, and runs into the distance.
At this moment, not far from the bottom of the rift valley, people in the car can hear the sound of flowing water in the river.
Qiulong lay at the window, looking at the big river below, and said expectantly: "Captain, can we take a dip in the river first?"
Tianyang smiled and said, "We are not here to camp. Let's explore the city first. If there is nothing unusual, you will have plenty of time to take a bath when the captain and the others come down."
"Yeah."
Finally we arrived at the bottom of the rift valley. The chariot was driving on a meadow. The fragrance of flowers and plants in the sun was blown into the car window by the wind, making it so comfortable that people wanted to take a nap.
Soon after passing the grassland, we saw a road pointing to the super city in the distance.
The road is not far from the river. Here you can see the clear river surface and the water droplets splashing all over the sky when the river hits the shore.
Sudden.
Tianyang felt something in his heart and looked towards the front of the river.
In that direction, the water level suddenly rose, and a large amount of water sprayed into the air, forming several water columns.
Several shadows were created by the water column. They fell on the river bank, then quickly ran onto the road and rushed towards the chariot.
Black people
Tianyang stood up suddenly, his eyes became sharp. He immediately saw clearly the things that jumped out of the river and rushed towards the chariot.
Those things had both fish and human features. They were as tall as adult men, covered with light blue scales, and had two eyes without pupils on their faces that looked very much like humans.
They have big mouths, but their hands and feet are a little small, but this does not prevent them from running quickly.
Tianyang also saw the fins on their bodies, obviously these black people are amphibious!
Crash!
In the upper reaches of the river, water columns also exploded, and the same fish-man-like black people came ashore and caught up with the rear of the convoy, and surrounded it from the front and back with their counterparts in front.
Humans also reacted quickly. Upon seeing this strange fish-man, the gunner got into the shooting cabin, pressed the lifting button, and the shooting cabin rose and docked with the cannon turret, completing the combination.
All
The double-barreled cannon opened fire, and the rhythmic sound of artillery fire continued. The turret fired shells at the attacking fishmen at a speed that was not fast, but not slow either, creating explosions and stirring up storms.
The road ahead was covered in rubble and bursting with flames. The continuous bombardment created a strong suppression, but even so, two fish still rushed over despite the bombardment.
Tianyang opened the car door and jumped out of the chariot. His figure became blurred as he faced the two fish-man creatures.
Xinghan and Yueguang were unsheathed at the same time. Tianyang used two swords at the same time, drawing several graceful arcs, and intersecting with the two fishmen.
With a few soft sounds of "chi, chi, chi", each fishman had been hit by several swords.
Tian Yang was a little surprised. When the sword blade passed through the scales of these fishmen, there was a noticeable astringency. No wonder these two fishmen were able to charge over despite the artillery fire. The scales on their bodies were surprisingly tough.
At this time, the two fishmen showed different injuries.
The one that was hit by Xinghan was thrown out directly, and there were crackling sounds when its body was spinning in the air.
Its bones were shattered and deformed, and when it fell to the ground, although it was not dead, it could no longer get up.
The one that was struck by the moonlight had its scales falling off, its wounds bursting open, and dark blue blood gushed out. In addition, a gray-blue color quickly spread around the wounds, and the parts of the body where the gray-blue spread faded, and the scales and muscles peeled off like fibrous sawdust.
But in just a moment, the fishman turned into ashes and was blown away by the wind.
Tianyang was just thinking about dealing with the murlocs following the convoy when he saw Jiyu standing on the chariot, drawing his bow and shooting, arrow after arrow, rhythmically killing the murlocs that were chasing him.
During this process, the fishman shot high-pressure water arrows from his hands and mouth, but Ji Yu avoided them all with the agility of a hunter.
The battle was over quickly.
Ji Yu jumped off the chariot, looked at the river, looked at the city in the distance, and said to Tian Yang: "It seems that the owner here does not know how to be hospitable at all. He does not welcome us very much."
Tianyang shrugged, "This isn't the first time we've done something like this uninvited. Let's go. We have to at least find a safe place to stay in the city."
Jiyu whistled: "See, this expedition was not in vain."
