Chapter 280 Underground World

After Renxinhuadao and the others were resurrected, they hurried back to the abandoned mansion through the teleportation array.

Nothing unexpected happened this time. The five players flew over the long river and saw the altar that the other teams had mentioned on the sand not far from the riverbed.

When Renxin Huadao took down the small box with the inscription "Give you eternal life", the ground suddenly shook. All the altars emitted an uncomfortable, dark red light, and then began to slowly descend.

The altar continued to sink for about five or six minutes. The gloomy soil and stone walls around it suddenly disappeared, and the view became unprecedentedly wide. Players could even see several other altars that were descending in the distance.

It's a huge underground world!

This underground world was filled with dark red fog. Although it was hard to see clearly, one could vaguely see the rocks on the ground, which were of various shapes and scary. More importantly, along the longest and highest mountain range, there were countless ore mines scattered around.

These calcite stones flashed with warm white light, embellishing the blood-fog-filled land like a starry night sky. It was precisely because of the illumination of these calcite stones that the players saw an extremely terrifying scene.

The entire ground, in the blood-red mist, was densely packed with headless figures!

They wandered around slowly and aimlessly like zombies.

It’s okay for the brave players, but the timid players’ teeth were chattering when they saw this scene.

"What on earth is this!?"

"Infernal corpse? It doesn't look like it!"

“I can’t identify it!”

“Take a screenshot and send it to the group to ask!”

Everyone was talking about it, but no one knew what this headless man was.

but……

"Where have you been? Why are there so many rare minerals? And is there a panoramic view? It looks like a spiritual stone vein!"

Although the screenshot sent to the group failed to identify the source of the headless man, it revealed an extremely unfamiliar ID, [Ge Baini].

This group member who had never had a sense of presence was so excited that he sent several messages one after another:

"That green crystal stone ore can be used to refine cerium, lanthanum, plutonium, thorium and the like... Although our technology is limited now, this thing is very important!

"Where exactly is it? Can I buy the land? Are there any transportation facilities?

"This is an open-pit mine. It's not difficult to mine. Oh my god, oh my god!"

Renxinhuadao couldn't help but interrupt Gebaini's self-entertainment and sent a message asking, "Boss, calm down first. Although you said a lot, I didn't understand it at all. Are you saying that this is a spirit stone mine!?"

"That's right!" Ge Baini replied quickly: "It's obvious that coarse stone is a companion mineral of the spirit stone mine. Such a large amount of coarse stone is evenly distributed around a mountain range. It is almost 100% certain that there is a spirit stone mine here! But it's a bit hard to understand why all your screenshots show open-pit mines..."

Renxinhua said: "Well, actually it shouldn't be considered open-air, this place is actually underground..."

"underground!?"

Renxin Huadao explained in a few words: "To be precise, it is an underground in a dungeon. Our pioneering team triggered a mission, and then a dungeon called 'Yinglong's Mansion' appeared. Then our team went in to explore and discovered this place by accident... In short, the background in the screenshot is underground!"

The players in the group who saw Renxinhuadao's explanation became jealous: "Wow! What kind of group are you guys from? You're too popular!?"

"Break it!"

"Can anyone enter without a mission? A spirit stone mine! Will we become rich if we dig a little?"

"Could this instance become their group's private property?"

“I don’t think so…”

While other players were spamming their screens with nonsense, Ge Baini himself ran wildly into the sect's library.

After Fang Xianyu's efforts, the Taiyin Sect's library was filled with all kinds of documents and books. Of course, most of them were not secret manuals or cultivation techniques, but various records of strange phenomena and miscellaneous books introducing the Guixu Realm that she had bought from various chambers of commerce and business alliances. They were for players to learn about this world of cultivation.

However, her efforts were not well discovered. Normal players would not have nothing to do but hang out in the library to read these random things. Instead, it was those on the national team who were diligently flipping through these books. I heard that there was even a big guy who studied languages ​​and had actually learned the Middle-world language and characters!

Of course, Ge Baini's plan to look for clues in the book was doomed to fail, because even Fang Xianyu himself had never seen such an underground world before.

No, to be precise, almost all the small worlds in the caves and various abandoned mansions should be regarded as "underground" worlds. After all, the sun, moon, stars and planets are projected based on the sun, moon, stars and planets in the Guixu Realm, and they do not really operate in those small worlds.

Like the underground world discovered by the players, although it is weird, it is not difficult to see that it is a "sacrificial pit" used for sacrifices.

It can be roughly speculated that in ancient times, there was a group of people, or monks, who attempted to "resurrect" Yinglong, so they built these altars and used the power of moving mountains and filling the sea to dig out this underground space to accommodate those ordinary people who thought they had gained eternal life.

This sacrifice is continuous, and the offerings after the sacrifice are exiled here, in a daze, neither alive nor dead.

Of course, these were all Fang Xianyu's guesses based on what she knew, but now that she had a free knowledge base to refer to, the guesses only took a moment.

She hid her figure, stood where the players couldn't see her, took out a piece of mirror fragment from her arms, and gently wiped the mirror surface with her sleeve.

An illusory figure immediately appeared beside Fang Xianyu.

"Jun Chou, do you know what's going on?"

Jun Chou is the spirit of Dou Xuan Treasure Mirror, and strictly speaking, he has no physical form. The reason why he appears as a "human" is to communicate with others. In fact, he is more like an invisible "consciousness" that travels through every corner of Guixu Realm, which is why it is said that Dou Xuan Treasure Mirror knows everything.

"well……"

Jun Chou's long sigh rang in my ears.

He was silent for a while before he spoke: "Many of the monks in ancient times were very ignorant.

"It is said that Yinglong killed Chiyou and Kuafu, controlled thunder and rain, and had infinite power, so there is a group of monks who hope to revive it and worship it to strengthen themselves...

"At that time, many people believed that human skulls were spiritual bones and a special kind of spiritual material, so the skulls of these sacrifices were collected and used to build the skeleton of Yinglong, whom they wanted to resurrect."

Fang Xianyu was shocked. "Using human skulls to build the skeleton of Yinglong!? How can you build it? The shapes are obviously different!?"
