Chapter 890: Under the Rift
Thor asked Ann to continue her collection journey, then transformed into a feather and floated underground.
He did not take a faster sinking method because the concept of the bottomless pit mentioned by An and the large amount of inert black powder in the soil made Thor act cautiously.
A metamorphosis spell that consumes almost no magic power to maintain.
After falling about a hundred meters, Thor found that the crack did not narrow, and its width was about the same as the crack he saw when he just fell to the ground.
After falling another hundred meters, he found half of the remains of a white-skeletal monster in the soil nearby, and then ordered Xiao Zao to gnaw out the bones embedded in the cracks in the rocks.
Xiaozao liked this job very much and found pleasure in it like finding treasure, so without Thor's instructions, he searched carefully on the cliffs on both sides.
Because Thor was not descending quickly and Xiaozao's mouth was very sharp, he soon gnawed out a few more pieces of the white bone monster's remains.
But Thor soon no longer had the energy to pay attention to Xiaozao's movements.
After descending another 500 meters, a feeling of palpitations suddenly rushed into his brain.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at his feet.
It was still pitch black below, and the sunlight above could not reach this place at all. And Thor's mental power still could not explore the end.
Just like An said, this place seemed to be a bottomless chasm, and the only result of continuing to fall was still continuing to fall.
"How could such a deep gap suddenly appear here? Was it attacked by a fourth-level wizard, or was there some other reason?"
Thor already had some guesses in his mind about what kind of world the Chaos Realm was and which continent it belonged to.
He suspected that this might be the unfortunate continent that was directly swallowed by the Eye of the Abyss.
Otherwise there is no way to explain why this place is filled with Kuroshio pollution from all over the continent - even though it has been inertized into black powder.
If the Chaos Domain is just a continent, then its area is limited and its depth should also be limited.
If this bottomless crack really runs through the entire continent, what is underneath the continent? And what does this new space represent? Why did Sander's ancestors have the key to this place? Out of caution about the black tide, Thor has never deliberately explored the truth of the entire chaotic domain. But now he needs more bone monsters to fight against Flim's strength. Now that he has found this crack, he naturally wants to try to explore it.
Thor continued to descend, not knowing how far he had already descended.
Because of the darkness and the lack of contrast around, the concepts of time and space began to blur.
Thor didn't know how long he had been descending when suddenly he seemed to step on something.
But in his mental perception, there should be nothing here.
The body felt that it had reached the bottom, but the mind felt otherwise.
Should we continue to descend? Thor did not hesitate, he chose to continue.
Because there is nothing here, only some bone remains, which are not as important as the secret of this rift.
He pressed his foot a little harder, and then... it didn't move.
He used his magic to try to explore the bottom layer.
Just like in the Lost Corridor, the magic was absorbed and disappeared without a trace.
"The materials in the Lost Corridor are the same as here? Or are they from the same source?"
Thor stopped and then sat down casually on the ground.
Although it is dark here and has descended very deep, it is still a chaotic zone. There are no enemies around and elemental particles are lazily floating in the air.
Instead, it formed a quiet, safe dark room.
This kind of dark room is very suitable for meditation and for calming down and thinking.
"Magic power will be absorbed, but mental power can penetrate. So if I use the method of soul-leaving, theoretically I should be able to pass through this barrier."
But Thor did not rush to try.
"After all, this place is full of Kuroshio pollution. Even if it is inert, it cannot be treated casually. It is not appropriate to rashly leave the soul here. Let's test it first."
Thor thought of how he once used the thread of destiny to pass through the right-angled gap between two corridors in the Lost Corridor, and found Stuart who was secretly imprisoned by Flim.
Maybe a gap can be found here for the line of destiny to pass through.
This time, Thor carefully considered the feasibility of the plan and thought it was worth a try. Moreover, the fate line ran faster than the soul body, so he could evacuate in time if he encountered danger.
Thor reached out his hand in the darkness and gently pressed the ground where he was sitting cross-legged.
The ground is smooth and flat, unlike land, and even bricks can't be so smooth.
It's like a layer of glass, or a layer of plastic film.
Thor tried to tap the membrane with his fate line, and then he felt the touch as if he were tapping glass with his fingers.
He exerted a little force, but the line of destiny did not penetrate through.
"If it's a complete partition, I'm afraid my current fate line won't be able to break through. Is there no gap?"
Countless lines of destiny stretched out from Thor's palms, spreading around the gap and soon covering the space within a radius of ten meters.
"The black powder here will more or less block the range of mental detection. If we explore further, the consumption will be greater." Thor stood up and decided to measure the bottom of the crack with his feet.
The bottom layer of the crack is not a cone, but still a long crack, and even the width is the same as the upper surface.
This confirmed Thor's initial thought: this was a completely broken "cookie", with a gap left when trying to get closer together.
Compared to the width of the entire continent, this crack, which is less than five meters wide, is really like the gap left in the middle when two halves of a cookie are put back together.
The film beneath the land is a bit like... the glue used to stick cookies together! "It's better to be cautious and not tear the glue apart, or else there will be problems in the Chaos Domain."
Considering the stability of the continent of Chaos, Thor did not try to break the membrane under his feet with violence. Instead, he walked forward in one direction, while constantly testing the bottom with the Line of Destiny, looking for possible gaps.
After walking underground for nearly another hour, just as Thor was thinking about whether he should go up first to report his safety to An and then continue searching, a section of his destiny line suddenly disappeared.
Thor quickly sensed the location of that line of destiny, and it was about one meter inside the mountain beside him.
There, there is a tiny crack in the diaphragm. It is very small, perhaps as big as a needle tip, and only by scanning and probing the fate line almost without blind spots can one be lucky enough to discover this crack.
"This is as difficult as threading a needle with your eyes closed. Xiaozao, bite it through!"
The crack was pressed by the mountain, but fortunately it was not too far from Thor, so Xiaozao could easily open up a passage.
After opening up a channel as thick as a fist, Thor's mental power can scan the condition of the crack more clearly.
Just like the smooth membrane under his feet, there is also a smooth layer under the mountain, or the continent. This layer may even be spread throughout the entire Chaos Domain Continent.
Thor took a deep breath and carefully followed his perception along the disappearing line of fate to explore the world beneath the membrane.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes.
After passing through the crack under the rift, he seemed to have come to an endless universe!
It is quiet and vast, and the distance around you is indistinguishable...the stars are twinkling.
