When he cast the streamer technique and poured electric energy into the wick, an extremely bright yellow light burst out suddenly, creating a striking halo on the patio wall!

"Look, what is that?"

"A torch? No...how can it not shake at all?"

This incredible light instantly caused commotion in the vanguard.People gathered around one after another, and the words of discussion were full of surprise!

There is no doubt that anyone who sees a shock lamp for the first time will be attracted by its unique light.What's more, Xia Fan also added a spotlight cover to these shocking lights, making it a large flashlight. The beams of light gathered together are clearly defined, as if you can touch the light body with your hands.

For those who are used to diffuse light sources such as torches and bonfires, such a scene is almost subversive.

For the first time, they felt that light is not an ethereal thing.

"Is this the shaking lamp mentioned by Venerable Li? It's really extraordinary." At this time, Gurcha also followed, "But the lightning strike wood, I'm afraid only His Royal Highness can afford it—"

"They don't need to use lightning strike wood." Li Mengyun interrupted.

"what?"

"The alchemists of Jinxia use copper wire pendants to trigger the shock technique, and the Jizhi Bureau can produce tens of thousands of such primers a day."

Gurcha was stunned, "Tens of thousands? Are you sure? Why didn't you say this before?"

"Of course, because I saw it with my own eyes." Li Mengyun said unhappily, "Besides, it is not the most important material compared to the air rifle. If you don't argue with me, I will have a chance before the Pope feels unwell. speak out."

Venerable Huntian was a little embarrassed and coughed twice, "In fact, I don't object to the cooperation with Jinxia, ​​mainly Qitian and Venerable Pingtian, they will have more concerns..."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice, and asked Li Mengyun with his ear, "Being able to use copper wire to trigger thunder, doesn't this mean that Jinxia City has mastered new magic principles? Are you sure they will pass these things on to the Salvation Sect? ?”

"Xia Fan also promised that as long as we are willing to cooperate, Jinxia will teach us until we master it." Li Mengyun sighed softly, "And you don't know, the new shock technique is no secret in Jinxia City, even if it is A ten-year-old boy can speak clearly and logically. Jinxia puts all the principles of magic techniques on the table in the school and teaches them as basic knowledge. His Excellency is right, we have lost touch with the outside world ..."

Venerable Huntian was silent for a moment.

The next journey is almost an alternation between elevators and corridors, and the team is gradually lengthening—after all, the closer to the depths of the courtyard, the more difficult it is to transport materials. For large institutions like elevators, there are basically only two people left after the [-]th floor. three.

However, relying on the protection of a dozen or so shaking lamps, the crowd did not encounter a few evil spirits along the way.According to Gurcha, at this depth, even in the quiet period, you will often fight with wandering ghosts.After all, they had already set foot in the flooded area, even with the cover of fire, they couldn't suppress those restless evil spirits.

Just as he was going to the lifting point on the fourth floor of No.70, Gurcha, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped and waved his hand backwards.

This is exactly the covert expression of the whole staff.

At this time, there were less than a hundred people left in the team, and everyone immediately gathered into a group, and went directly into the nearest empty house from the outer corridor.

"What happened?" Xia Fan asked in a low voice.

"It's the big devil." Luo gently pressed the blindfold and replied.

7 Chapter Seventy Untouched Areas

In Qi's field of vision, the demon was crawling out from the bottom of the patio little by little like a twisted black mist.

If it was in a town, Luo Qingqing would be able to distinguish it with just one glance, but the chaos here is everywhere, which has seriously affected her normal vision, so when the team was still, she realized what was going on below. The surging black mist is a big demon.

"Do you want to do it?" Ning Wanjun eagerly asked.

"Of course not!" Gurcha glared, "This is a flood zone, we must be more cautious! Once Ravana is attracted, we will only have a dead end! Focus the shock lights and seal the door, it will not notice our."

In fact, as Venerable Huntian said, the demon was not attracted by the light, but crawled away from the light quickly, and finally disappeared in a crack on the wall of the well.

"Huh..." Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Xia Fan also realized that sneaking into a city is a completely different experience from sneaking into an area infested with evil spirits. Masks, invisibility cloaks, and hiding in as dark places as possible are only effective for humans.What evil spirits perceive is qi, and at the same time, they don't think about whether the sudden light is related to living things. They only avoid it according to their instincts. This allows people who sense qi to use spells to shield or cover up their own breath, and they can fool most evil spirits. .

"Have you encountered situations like this many times?" He asked Venerable Huntian.

"Of course." The latter took off the talisman at the door, "If even this kind of accident can't be dealt with, the vanguard team will be dead long ago. Didn't I say before that the number of searchers is a very sensitive issue, if it is too small It is difficult to fight against the evil spirits, and if there are too many, it is easy to expose ourselves. Considering that each lifting point must be guarded by personnel, 300 people is a more appropriate scale. As long as we are not too close to the big demon, the risk of our being discovered Still within an acceptable range."

"If we meet Ravana, can we also rely on magic tricks to fool us?" Li Qi asked.

"Heh, if it's Mo Sha who is eyeing the team, you'd better pray that you are the fastest one." Gulcha sneered twice.

"Is there no possibility of confrontation? Does it not have any weaknesses?"

"It's not that there are no weaknesses, but—forget it, if you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try, but the Salvation Church cannot afford to lose so many people." Probably because Li's speech was somewhat unexpected, the tone of the burly man There was a little more relief, "Courage is certainly a good thing, but blind courage is arrogance. When you have the opportunity to see the real Mosha, you will naturally understand the gap between it and the Great Demon."

"Let's go, there are still six floors before we can reach the next lifting point." Venerable Huntian finally said.

When he was on the road again, Li couldn't help pulling Li Mengyun's robe, "Have you seen Ravana?"

Venerable Shengtian shook his head, "In the entire exploration record, there are only three mentions of the existence of this kind of evil spirit, and all of them were provided by the left-behinds of the uppermost ascending and descending point."

"What does your lord mean, none of the members of the vanguard at the lower level ran out?" Xia Fan also came over and asked.

"That's right. We don't even know what it looks like. We can only confirm that there is such a kind of evil between the 76th and [-]th floors." She nodded, "The only luck is that it has been entrenched in its own territory all year round. Here, we rarely take the initiative to participate in harassment. As long as we don’t take the initiative to approach the northwest direction, we will basically not provoke it.”

Provoke... This word made Xia Fan feel a little embarrassed.

In the outside world, evil spirits are all existences shouting to fight and kill, and the Privy Council will never be relentless in eliminating these mortal enemies.But in the courtyard area, people have to get used to coexisting with the evil spirits, and even have to hide from them.

This trend is not optimistic.

"Drip."

The protective suit suddenly let out a soft beep.

Xia Fan turned his wrist and noticed that the countdown had already appeared.This shows that the environment here is no longer suitable for ordinary people to stay for a long time, and the protective clothing has automatically activated the circulatory system.

It's just that its estimated operation time is far longer than the exposure area, as much as two hours.

"It's the temperature." Luo gently stretched out his hand out of the corridor fence, pinching a green leaf that he didn't know where to find with his fingertips, and saw the leaf quickly curling under the turbulent airflow, as if it had been dried.

"Put on your helmets!" Venerable Huntian shouted from the front, "There are signs of instability in the geothermal heat, and there may be gushing air waves. If anyone's protective clothing fails, report to me immediately!"

After walking down for about 10 minutes, the corridor was blocked again, and the team finally reached the last lifting point.

"Before the storm breaks out, install the lift!"

"Yes!"

The vanguard quickly dispersed, some were in charge of vigilance, and some moved out the previously prepared materials from the room and began to temporarily build lifting devices.Compared with the wooden mechanism above, all the components prepared here have been replaced with metal products, and it is obvious that some of them were collected from the ruins of the courtyard.

And the well, which was still calm before, has become restless now.Waves of white mist gushed out, darkening the entire courtyard.But the rapidly rising temperature is not the most troublesome problem. The turbulent white mist makes the light and vision in the well drop sharply. What could be seen a hundred meters away is now only a few tens of meters away. The constant rumbling echoes from the helmet made the vanguard's defense range worse than before.

"Is this the lowest level you reached before?" Ning Wanjun asked.

"Almost." Gurcha nodded, "The vanguard team used stones to verify that there are at most [-] floors left at the bottom. It's a pity that we couldn't gather the materials for the elevator last time, and Xiaomo Xiaomei has been Attack the team, so we can only choose to evacuate first."

"Xie Chong doesn't have any thoughts about Ji, this is the luck of Salvation Cult." Luo said bluntly.

"Little girl, you are right!" Venerable Huntian laughed, as if he was completely unaffected by the heat waves outside, "Even if we piled winches and hemp ropes in front of the big demon, it would treat it as nothing. So as long as you risk your life, the Salvation Cult will always have a chance to go deeper!"

Having said that, he looked at Xia Fan, "The road I can guide ends here, and no one has reached the area further down. Are you sure that the bottom is really not the bottom of the well, but a so-called gate?"

"Yes, the real bottom of the well is unfathomable." Xia Fan replied word by word, "It is almost impossible to reach its core with such a simple lifting equipment. But I have to admit that you can rely on both hands. It is quite rare to reach this depth with your feet.”

Gul looked at Xia Fan for a long time, with complicated expressions in his eyes.After a long time, he shook his head and couldn't help laughing, "Boy, you are really arrogant. We didn't do this to get your approval."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Then do we have a chance to see the real bottom of the well?"

"I don't know, but I'll try my best."

Gurcha let out a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and devoted himself to the adjustment of the elevator.

"His mood is a bit depressed." Luo walked gently to Xia Fan and said, "I can see that the Qi of the Black Gate in his body has become dim."

"Anyone would be like this." Yan Qing seemed to feel the same way, "I have put in countless efforts and desperately wanted to achieve the goal, but it is actually a phantom. This is equivalent to negating all the sacrifices invested in the past, and the sense of gap is huge. One can imagine."

"But he didn't regard this as your mistake." Luo whispered softly, "On the contrary, your words gave them a new hope."

Did he choose to believe in himself...

Perhaps the prophecy of the kingdom of heaven itself was a misjudgment, Xia Fan thought, no one knows the answer to what is at the bottom of the well until it actually arrives.

But no matter whether they show up or not, these people will not stop halfway.

He is far from the only one who pursues the truth of the world.

At least on this road, there are many explorers like him who forge ahead bravely.

They deserve to be given the best of themselves.

"The two lifts are fully assembled!"

"The rope is all right, and the winch turns normally!"

"My lord, the vanguard can go to a deeper level!"

"Very good!" Guercha said loudly, "Everyone, let's go!"

Chapter 771 Mutations

Everyone in Jinxia lined up in the middle of the team.

The moment Xia Fan stepped out of the courtyard corridor and stepped onto the lifting platform, Xia Fan felt that his breathing was a little anxious.Unlike walking in the corridors of the patio, the heat flow here is clearly discernible, and the thick white mist rolls up, pushing the pedals to make a clicking sound.

But he knew that this was just an illusion. The protective clothing separated all the hot air and still kept the human body at a normal temperature.Without this set of clothes, their current situation is basically the same as the meat buns in the steamer.

"Let go!" Gurcha waved the flag in his hand.

With the sound of iron chain friction, the two platforms began to slowly descend.

At this time, most of the light from the shaking lamp was blocked by the mist, forming a large scattered light spot in the well, and the search distance was also compressed to within three feet, and only the people on the opposite platform could be seen clearly.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, even Venerable Huntian and others above were also hidden in the white mist.

So far, apart from the stone wall close to the side of the elevator, the surrounding area is already a vast expanse of whiteness.

"The air here...is so strong." Luo murmured softly, "This is the first time I've seen a real air mass..."

"What does that look like?" Li asked subconsciously.

"If you think of it as water, we are now immersed in a real deep well." There was a rare unease in her tone, "How many people have to die to form such a dense air mass? One hundred thousand... Or a million?"

"One million?" Li gasped, "Isn't that equal to several Jinxia cities!"

"This place is evil, so it's not surprising what happened." Yan Qing sank the chain in his hand to the bottom of the platform, "In short, we need to be more vigilant. After landing, we should find the trap that Xia Fan mentioned as soon as possible. door."

As early as the beginning of departure, Xia Fan described to everyone the situation of the hundred-story area in detail.Judging from the model diagram of the patio area, there is a huge gate that separates the entire patio.On the side, there are at least three entrances and exits—obviously, these orange-marked passages are not normal entrances, and should be closed at ordinary times.The control room isn't too far away as long as you can get inside the patio through them.

"What if I can't find it?" Li Mengyun said.

"Then we have to go back the same way." Xia Fan said truthfully, "But since it is marked on the model map, I guess these passages must exist. The key is whether we can open the gate smoothly—"

Suddenly a violent tremor interrupted his words!

The platform swayed from side to side, as if trying to throw people out.

Everyone suddenly exclaimed.

"Hold on tight!"

Li Ze grabbed Xia Fan immediately.

"Kunshu Prison!" Yan Qing also reacted extremely quickly. She activated the spell, allowing the buried chain to pierce into the stone wall, stabilizing the lifting platform that was about to topple.

"what--!"

"Help, help!"

The other side was clearly not so lucky.

Several people watched as they fell down as the platform shook, and then fell into the white mist.Shouts could be heard from them in the helmets, but they were quickly replaced by dull thuds.

"What happened? Could it be a heat wave just now?"

"No, the tremor came from the iron chain!" The princess looked up, "What the hell are those people doing!?"

"Gurcha, Gurcha!" Li Mengyun yelled several times, but failed to get any answer. "Trouble, this transmission distance is limited, they can no longer hear our voice."

"Is the operation suspended?" Li asked.

Such an accidental rescue has long been considered. There is also an emergency pull rope hanging beside the iron cable. As long as the rope is pulled down hard, a bell will ring on it, which means that the platform needs to be raised immediately.

Li Mengyun didn't hesitate for too long, and immediately grabbed the rope.

Leaving aside the fact that there are Her Royal Highness, her old friends, and Li who is the most concerned among this group of people, the situation on the other side of the lifting platform is not optimistic. Half of the ten people fell, and the rest were also clinging tightly to the inclined platform. On the edge of the platform, another shaking must be bad luck.

However, there was no expected lag from the other end of the rope.

She just tugged lightly, and the rope fell down like a goose feather.

The other end of the emergency pull rope is empty, and the break is a mess, as if it was deliberately damaged.

Everyone's hearts sank in unison.

Could it be that Gurcha is a potential traitor?
