That thing hollowed out an entire mountain. This method really makes people feel heavy. Anyone who encounters such an opponent will feel nervous!
However, Taoist Zi Jin quickly regained his confidence, adjusted his mindset, and climbed back along the path.
"Everyone, we must use our ropes sparingly! There is a vertical hole down there, about several hundred meters high! I suggest that you bring tools for digging holes, and the ropes must be replaced. Let's split into two teams. I will stay behind and bring you the ropes."
After hearing what Taoist Zi Jin said, Brother Chongzi and Old Man Jiang Hai looked at each other, and both saw some shock in each other's eyes!
Next, everyone used two ropes to tie up all the things and put them on their backs! Jiang Hai and Brother Chongzi went down from another rope alone! Taoist Zijin took one rope, while Zhang Fan took Nangong Manyun and Mr. Fei and floated down with the ropes.
He did not use any extraordinary strength, but just relied on his body to carry the two of them down easily, floating like a falling leaf, and reached the bottom without any pressure at all.
Brother Chongzi and Mr. Fei looked at Zhang Fan's ethereal movements with awe and a little envy in their eyes!
The two of them and Taoist Zi Jin exchanged ropes and quickly descended!
However, as everyone came to the cave that led straight downwards, the temperature around them gradually rose a lot.
This made Mr. Jiang Hai wonder, "Have we gone back to the stone gate again? The temperature on the Yaochi Road is also so high!"
"Mr. Jiang Hai, you worry too much! We have already walked for at least two days. If we were underground, it would probably take more than ten to eight days! How can we get back to where we started?"
Brother Chongzi retorted and fell rapidly down with the rope!
However, surprisingly, this passage is much safer and rougher than the inclined passage above.
Everyone has a place to stay, and they can even crawl into the cracks in the mountain to take a short rest!
The tools specially used for drilling holes were not used. There were many cracks in the mountains around, and the rope clips could be stuck in them! They were used to bear the weight of several people. After several hours, everyone was exhausted.
And as everyone gradually descended, the temperature rose and the darkness became even more frightening.
After persisting for more than three hours, everyone finally descended to the deepest part of the cave.
They fell to the ground from the cliff of the mountain. As soon as Brother Chongzi landed, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees, immediately stirring up a cloud of dust!
"What the hell is this! Are we in a lime mine?"
Brother Chongzi turned on the flashlight, looked at the gray dust stuck on his arm, and frowned deeply.
At the same time, old man Jiang Hai sniffed!
"Do you smell anything? Such a strong and pungent smell of sulfuric acid. Are we in a volcano?"
"volcano!"
Brother Chongzi was shocked and raised his head to look into the distance!
But unfortunately, all I see is darkness!
"Mr. Jiang Hai, don't joke around! This is no joke. If we really reach the edge of the volcano, then there is no need for us to go to the Eternal Mountain. We just need to wait. This mountain will be destroyed one day."
Old man Jiang Hai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Fool, I have already made such preparations... Have you forgotten that when we were on the surface, we often saw various hot springs! This is the scene that can only be found in a very special volcanic environment. If you are scared, you can go back now! Otherwise, shut up, brother."
Brother Chongzi smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to go back alone.
He could only smile awkwardly, got up from the ground, unfastened the carabiner, and shone the flashlight around.
At this time, even Zhang Fan gradually discovered that many places began to reflect the light from the flashlight!
When they arrived deep underground, many crystallized stones appeared. The scattered light refracted by them made the place where they were located have a somewhat colorful feeling!
But this is not a good sign. If they can't find the real exit and there is no way to the outside world, then they can only live underground for the rest of their lives!
So even Mr. Jiang Hai's face became more serious. He asked Brother Chongzi to protect the rope properly, and everyone began to explore forward!
This walk lasted for a long time, with Taoist Zi Jin walking in front to lead the way for everyone!
They walked forward along the sloping mountain wall!
They kept walking until everyone was exhausted, and then they finally stopped!
Just as he stopped, Taoist Zi Jin suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
"Everyone, we found the exit."
Hearing him say this, Brother Chongzi's eyes lit up and he subconsciously ran to the front!
He shone the flashlight outside, and the location where everyone was located changed from a huge underground cave to a giant square-like underground space with an open view.
And when they looked back, what they saw was a long, deep and dark passage!
"Oh my goodness, this is truly a miracle! Who dug this passage? First they opened up a mountain, and then dug a road from the foot of the mountain to a deeper depth. Now we must be at the deepest part of the abyss we saw before! That should be the eighteenth level of hell."
Brother Chongzi laughed!
Because old man Jiang Hai previously called the abyss under the sky the Earth!
Now, everyone has arrived at the eighteenth level of hell.
Stepping into this open environment, everyone finally heard the long-lost sound of flowing water!
What made everyone even happier was that although the air here was hot and humid, it was not lacking in moisture! Everyone's water bottles were basically empty, especially Brother Chongzi. Now that he had found water underground, it was really a very important thing for him.
However, when everyone arrived at the square, Brother Chongzi looked around at the location where the sound of water came from. He took out a kettle and raised a flashlight, feeling towards the location of the water sound.
But after only a few steps, fear appeared on his face and he retreated even faster.
"What's wrong?" Taoist Zi Jin looked at him curiously.
"Bug shell! Damn, it's so big! It scared me to death."
Taoist Zi Jin stared at him in surprise, then turned to look in the direction where Brother Chongzi retreated. He shone his flashlight and his brows immediately frowned.
Just about a few dozen meters to the right of the crowd, there were some rocks protruding from the ground. In the entire cave-like environment, they looked like stone pillars one after another!
Just outside a stone pillar, the shell of a very familiar one-eyed dragon was hanging on the side of the stone pillar. Its huge body and hard metallic shell left after molting instantly attracted the attention of Taoist Zijin! ?
