Seeing the old man stepping into the vortex and disappearing into the waves of blood in a blink of an eye, Hao Ren was a little dazed: Gelton looked old and weak, but he didn't expect that he was such a bachelor in his bones, and he didn't hesitate to step in. .
He just wanted to say that he has detectors on his side... but it seems that he doesn't need the detectors now.
The magisters who came with them, whether they were members of the church or Ovra's subordinates, were quite shocked to see this scene, and Vivienne couldn't help frowning: "...Although it is good to be faithful here, but this A rector doesn't have to do this... He can have other ways to detect what's under the whirlpool first."
At this moment, a pale golden light beam suddenly rose from the bottom of the maelstrom, interrupting Vivienne's words, and Ophra nodded after seeing the light beam: "It's a signal from His Excellency the Rector, it seems that the following is safe .”
As she said, she straightened her equipment, and turned to look at her cronies behind her: "You guys wait here, if the whirlpool can't return the same way, we will return to the church in the town through the teleportation stone. customary contact."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Hao Ren and the others: "It seems that the situation here is worse than we expected in the town. The situation under this vortex is unpredictable. You have the right to choose to quit. As mercenaries, you have far surpassed your own. Colleagues, no one will laugh at you if you quit here... "
Before she finished speaking, Hao Ren stood up with a righteous face: "What are you talking about! We have a good name... The mercenary group always keeps their promises, and if they want to accompany them, they will definitely accompany them. Will you jump first or should I jump first? "He couldn't help being upright: the four bearded men were watching from behind. It is estimated that with the stubbornness of these four King Kongs, they would not be reconciled if they didn't toss a group of "spirits chosen by heaven" under the whirlpool today.
Ofra took a deep look at Hao Ren. It was hard to fathom the meaning in her eyes. Then she turned her head and stepped into the vortex. She was wrapped in a translucent shield like an "aura" to drive away the surrounding lake water. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast vortex. And behind her, the follower, the old werewolf, also jumped down.
Becky grabbed Hao Ren's hand: "You have to make sure that the one-button shutdown button on the 'outside' works well..."
She didn't finish her sentence. Lily rushed forward excitedly: "Let's go, let's go—" and knocked a group of people down.
"Goddess bless." The four bearded men also made religious gestures in front of their chests, and Bao Xiang solemnly filed in.
It rained cats and dogs. The vortex remained, and a group of people quickly disappeared in the bloody water, as if they had never appeared before.
Hao Ren just felt dizzy. Even though he had a shield to resist the lake water, he was still thrown dizzy under the churning of the whirlpool. He felt as if he was being thrown into a washing machine and stirred wildly. Can't tell. He could only judge that he was rapidly approaching deep water based on the dimming light around him. In his dizziness, he finally couldn't help but think of the benefits of Nangong Wuyue - if there is a sea monster girl to help, he will definitely be much more comfortable than now! That is a super god-level assistant that can make people walk casually in the deep sea trench!
He didn't know how long he had been disturbed in this crazy rotation. Suddenly, Hao Ren's eyes lit up, and then his body fell rapidly. He felt that he was washed into a deep pool by a waterfall of water. After fluttering around for a while, it finally surfaced.
Then Lily's voice came from the side: "Puff—I'm going to die, I'm going to die... It's probably the same feeling when I hang it on the ceiling fan and turn it on for a day at the fifth gear..."
Then Hao Ren felt a furry head bump into his arms: Lily was still fainting, and after a few strokes in the water, the dog instinctively swam towards the smell he was most familiar with.
"Is everyone alright?" Hao Ren shouted to the others while trying to regain his focus, and then Vivian, Ophra and others responded from nearby. A moment later, a particularly loud sound of falling water came from behind. Y'zaks' muffled voice sounded: "I'm coming down too."
Then after a while, I heard the sound of Y'zaks splashing water and salvaging something behind: "I seem to have hit someone..."
When Hao Ren heard this, his neck broke out in a cold sweat, and he thought what a mighty Izaks was. Falling from any height is equivalent to a plumb weight of equal volume, and I don't know who was unlucky enough to let this tough man hit his head. Just when he was curious. The indifferent voice of the beard came from Y'zaks: "It's okay, it's okay, this is the goddess' test..."
Hao Ren turned his head to take a look, and hurriedly greeted: "Master, stop the bleeding on your head first..."
"It's okay, it's okay, the goddess's test always comes suddenly..."
"Stop talking nonsense, the goddess doesn't test your hematopoietic ability and tetanus resistance!"
After confirming that everyone landed safely, Hao Ren had the time to look around and look for a place to go ashore. He looked up and looked around, and immediately found that he was in a huge hollow that was so wide and so spectacular that it made one's heart tremble.
It looks like a roughly circular cave. The geometry of the square and circle is unknown, and its scale can almost be regarded as an underground universe. On the four walls of the cave, there are patches of strange substances that flicker and shimmer. I don't know if they are minerals or luminous fungi. These light sources prevent this underground space from being completely dark. Act impeded. Hao Ren saw many karst tunnel-like structures distributed on the walls of the cave in the distance, and guessed that they should lead to far away places—even to the root system of the Twisted Woodland.
The terrain in the center of the cave is deeply sunken, and now a pool of water has been stored here. The red liquid in the pool indicates that this is the lake water from the blood lake. Hao Ren looked up at the dome of the cave, and found that the dome at a very high place showed an unusually neat structure, as if it had been artificially built, showing a perfect half-bowl shape. A big hole was opened, and the waterfall-like red lake water poured down from the big hole, making the whole cave resound with a huge sound of water.
That's where the crowd falls.
Hao Ren saw that Ophra and Gelton had landed by the pool, so he quickly swam over with more effort, but he felt a tightness on his back just after swimming not far away, and a group of small bats grabbed his body and pulled him directly. He sent him to shore. Vivienne's figure then formed beside him: "You are the captain, and you need to be graceful at this time—I didn't expect your swimming posture to be so ugly without Nangong Wuyue's help."
Hao Ren was immediately embarrassed, while Lily yelled at Vivian on the shore while throwing her hands and feet in the water: "You are biased! Why don't you help me!"
Vivienne smacked her lips: "You are quite imposing..."
Hao Ren ignored the two friends, but looked back at the pool. The water pouring down from the dome of the cave is still pouring into the pool, but there will be no significant expansion of the pool for a while. 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. Worry about being completely submerged 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, it might not be able to fill it up.
Because everyone has their own means of avoiding water, even Becky got a life-support shield generator originally used in space from Hao Ren, so everyone doesn't need to dry their clothes after going ashore, and start after a short rest. Explore this place. The four of them with big beards were a little excited: this magnificent underground cave seemed to them a miracle, and it perfectly matched the characteristics of the "sacred cave" they knew, so the identity of Hao Ren and others as "the chosen spirit" was even more important. Yes without a doubt.
Hao Ren also felt a little guilty in his heart. After seeing such a huge underground world, he was instinctively overwhelmed, so much so that he was a little 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 belong to the chosen spirit that we opened up such an amazing place?"
Vivienne looked up at some of the rock patterns on the dome, and suddenly her expression became strange: "... I'm afraid not, we've made trouble again."
Hao Ren: "Huh?"
Vivienne raised her finger and pointed to the glowing lines on the dome: "That's some kind of magic circle. Although I haven't seen it before, I guess this magic circle is used to sense the chosen spirit. It has a typical long-range detection structure... "
Hao Ren was confused by the magic circle: "And then?"
Vivienne pointed to the big hole in the dome: "The magic circle didn't open when it sensed the spirit of the Chosen, but... it was damaged by the movement of the spaceship when it exploded. The real Spirit of the Chosen may not have arrived yet! "
Hao Ren: "..."
Sure enough, the myths created by mortals are unreliable, and the secret treasures that can only be opened by predestined people are all nonsense. Facing the "chance" talk of gods and gods, a big boom can solve all troubles: it is used in the sacred cave to detect sky. The chance door of the chosen spirit was not opened, it was blasted open!
Hao Ren wiped his brow with cold sweat: "Don't tell the bearded guys about this for now..." (to be continued~^~)
