Now that we have successfully found the passage leading to the underground, the next question is how to get in.
Gu Shi had carefully observed the big tree and found no other holes except the one drilled by the monster.
"Do we have to break this tree open?"
Gu Shi frowned, because he didn't know if the tree had any other use besides serving as an entrance, so he didn't want to destroy it, but now he had no other choice.
After trying other methods without success, Gu Shi had no choice but to make a hole in the tree. He used a sharp sword to cut a hole large enough for a person to enter and exit, and then flew down the passage carefully.
The passage was very narrow at the beginning, and Gu Shi couldn't even lift his hand holding the magic lamp, but after leaving the tree trunk and entering underground, the passage gradually became wider.
Gu Shi hovered in the air and held the magic lamp in front of his eyes. The inner wall of the passage was covered with thick moss, and it seemed that it had not been used for a long time.
Continuing to descend, this passage was unexpectedly long. The giant tree outside grew at about one-third of the mountain. Gu Shi felt that at the height he was falling now, he had already left the mountain and entered underground.
Another two minutes passed, and Gu Shi finally saw the ground. However, this was not the end of the entire passage, and he still needed to move forward.
Gu Shi walked forward along the passage. The passage was not wide and could only accommodate two people walking side by side. He walked forward slowly, not knowing where the tunnel would lead to.
As he walked, Gu Shi suddenly felt a faint light coming from the front. He quickened his pace, and after turning a corner, the view in front of him suddenly became clear.
Gu Shi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but stand there in a daze for a few seconds. He never expected that there was such a wide open space hidden underground.
Although there is no sunlight, there are many plants growing here. They emit a fluorescent light, illuminating the entire underground cave.
Various plants paint a beautiful picture in this underground cave, including colorful flowers, plants of various shapes, and some vines climbing up the walls, adding a sense of mystery to the entire space.
Gu Shi admired the scene in amazement. If he had a mobile phone, he would definitely take a few pictures, but unfortunately he didn't have the conditions to do so now.
Although he admired it, Gu Shi did not forget his business. He stepped out of the tunnel and entered this mysterious space.
In the middle of the entire underground cave, there stands a temple-style building. Because it has not been maintained for a long time, the exposed stone pillars are covered with vines.
Gu Shi walked through the lush plants and headed towards the temple step by step. He knew that what he was looking for must be hidden in this temple.
During this process, he found that some plants lay abnormally on the ground, as if they had been crushed by something heavy, leaving a long mark.
Gu Shi's eyes followed the trail forward and found that its end was the temple he wanted to go to.
Gu Shi looked at the marks and muttered to himself, "These marks...are they some kind of snake? But isn't this one a little too big? It's even comparable to the giant sand python I saw before.
From what I've just experienced, this snake must have been living in this underground cave. Where does it get its food? This cave doesn't seem to have any other exits, right?
Although he was full of doubts, he did not stop.
Stepping onto the steps of the temple, Gu Shi looked up and observed the temple. Judging from the growth status of the plants and the wear and tear on the exterior of the temple, it can be judged that it has been sleeping underground for a very long time.
A question suddenly popped up in Gu Shi’s mind. Could this place also be a relic left over from before the war?
This would explain the origin of this temple. From the passage outside, it can be seen that this place was definitely not buried underground due to crustal changes.
It would be perfectly reasonable if someone had taken the initiative to move the temple to such a secluded place in order to protect it.
The door of the temple was half open, and looking inside from the outside, it was pitch black.
Gu Shi knew that there might be a giant snake lurking inside the temple, so before entering the temple, he took out his staff and put on a shield for himself.
In addition, the dark environment in the temple is obviously not good for Gu Shi. The dark environment will not affect the perception of snakes, but it will hinder Gu Shi's vision. He has to find a way to create a more favorable environment for himself.
Gu Shi rummaged through the space ring, hoping to find something useful. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he took out three round white balls.
These were the props he bought at the market when he attended the year-end auction two years ago. If he remembered correctly, they should be useful here.
Gu Shi took out three magic crystals and inserted them into the three balls with a click, then turned on the switches on them. The next second, the balls emitted bright light.
These three balls are actually a kind of props similar to a projector. As long as they are installed with magic crystals to provide energy, they can project different images. Their functions are similar to the starry sky lights on the blue planet. They are quite popular among the aristocracy.
Gu Shi bought a few out of curiosity last time. Although its main function is not to provide lighting, the brightness can be used to barely illuminate the interior of the temple.
Gu Shi didn't want to fight with this snake-like monster in the temple. The space inside was a bit narrow, so it would be best to lure it out.
Gu Shi picked up a glowing ball and weighed it in his hand, then aimed at the interior of the temple and threw it out with force. The ball of light flew into the temple under the action of the force. Its light dispelled the darkness and allowed Gu Shi to see the environment inside clearly.
The temple was densely covered with vines, which gave people an inexplicable sense of horror. In the open space in the middle, there was a very thick green vine.
No, that's not right. That's not the so-called green vine, but a magical beast!
The vine snake seemed to be startled by the ball of light thrown in by Gu Shi. The vines around it slowly rubbed and squirmed, and it raised its head to look at the ball of light.
After seeing his opponent clearly, Gu Shi's thoughts raced wildly. It seemed that this vine snake had completely turned the temple into its base camp, and he absolutely could not go in.
Those vines crawling on the ground are the minions of vine snakes. As soon as Gu Shi walks in, he will be tied up tightly by them and lose the ability to move.
We must find a way to lure this vine snake out.
