Chapter 347 Unexpected End
Seeing the light at the exit, the people who were fleeing frantically were like drowning people who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. A strong hope suddenly appeared in their eyes, and they couldn't help but run faster.
Soon, before the darkness behind them caught up, all the students who could still escape rushed out of the corridor.
Fortunately, the darkness in the corridor behind them did not surge out, but stopped moving forward after engulfing the entire corridor.
As if blocked by an invisible wall, a blurry round black spot was left on the stone wall behind everyone.
"Everyone, is everything okay?"
After calming down from the shock as she watched the darkness behind her subside, Alyssa took a breath and began to check on the status of her teammates.
"It's okay... I just consumed some of my magic power."
Mondolo, Roche, Matt and others responded one after another, but the number of people in the team was three less than when they came, leaving only six.
After observing for a while and confirming that they were truly out of danger, everyone finally had some free time to start looking around.
They were currently in a vast underground hall. Unlike the surface environment of the ruins, there were not many traces of artificial carvings here. Instead, it was more like a huge natural cave.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was a strange smell in the air, similar to that of moist earth. A faint blue glow emanated from the top of the cave, which seemed to come from a strange luminous moss.
The door behind him was not opened on the wall on one side of the hall as everyone imagined, but was opened on the surface of an extremely huge black stone pillar.
The shape of the stone pillar is somewhat similar to that of a stalactite, but it is hundreds of times larger. The previous round door was four or five meters high, and it did not appear crowded at all on the surface of the stone pillar.
Looking around, there were hundreds of stone pillars of the same size in this "hall"! Some of them were broken, and there was still a trace of terrifying magic power and huge claw marks left on the broken ends.
Obviously, when the dark beast tide was raging before, this secret place might have been entered by many powerful monsters.
At this time, at the base of other stone pillars, some scattered students, including Claire and Avis, also appeared.
When they saw each other, they were surprised at first, and then more or less disappointed.
I thought I was the only one who discovered this secret passage, but it turned out that there was more than one secret passage leading to the final destination.
It's like hearing your beloved boyfriend/girlfriend say, "You are my only one." Only to find out later that the so-called only one is the name of a group.
But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by a huge structure in the center of the hall, which was shaped like an altar and had a diameter of hundreds of meters.
The material of the altar is similar to that of the cave wall, also a dark rock structure, but with a slightly obsidian-like glass luster.
On top of the altar, a huge black ancient stone bell with a rough and uneven surface was lying on its side, like a toy abandoned by a giant.
Neither the altar nor the stone bell emitted any magical fluctuations.
At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Xius, the vice president of the academy who presided over this competition, was standing on the altar, facing the stone bell.
In fact, there was more than one ninth-level master in the cave at this moment, but the other ninth-level masters had hidden their bodies and were not discovered by many students.
The exit of that passage leads to here? Looking at the stone bell with a slightly frowned brow, all the ninth-level masters were a little confused.
Although the location of this hall is indeed very hidden, it is not a true secret room, but has a normal main passage that leads to other parts of the ruins.
Those dark creatures rushed into this huge hall through that passage.
Their last traces also disappeared here. However, those traces did not rush to the altar, but seemed to evaporate directly in this cave.
Many ninth-level masters looked at each other, all of them were a little undecided. Then, it was the vice-president of the academy who spoke up and explained the current situation to the many students in the hall.
“Fellow students, you have entered an unexpected place.
Previously, those passages had not actually been discovered by explorers, and the traps in the passages were not triggered, which greatly increased the danger of exploration. I am sorry to see that there have been casualties among you.
As compensation and reward for arriving here, all teams' scores will be increased by 500 points—"
After saying something that lifted the spirits of everyone present, the vice-president raised his staff slightly, and a ball of light suddenly condensed and floated to the side of the cave.
"You now have two choices. One, leave here through the main passage marked by the light ball over there. Two, explore here first. There may be dangers, but all gains still belong to the discoverer."
As his words fell, many students quickly made their choice through action.
Exploring the caves
With a ninth-rank vice-president watching over them, it would be an unforgivable waste if they didn't take the opportunity to explore this cave that seemed to be related to the adventure!
Soon, everyone dispersed and began searching in various parts of the cave.
Of course, the huge, obviously extraordinary altar in the center attracted the most attention.
Many students went up to the altar as soon as possible to see if they could try their luck and trigger something unexpectedly.
However, Claire and Anvis did not choose to investigate the altar, but first began to study the surrounding environment to see if there was any information related to this rock hall.
Just now in the corridor, an unknown creature attempted to attack Avis, but was frightened away by the faint aura of the old secret scriptures on him.
On the contrary, the Old Secret Scripture seemed to be very interested in that kind of thing. But because the main body was not here, the breath of the Old Secret Scripture jumped in vain, and then could only unwillingly quiet down again.
However, Avis felt that it seemed to have remembered the aura of what had just happened.
While observing the cave environment, Avis was also looking at the students in the cave.
It has to be said that as the empire's top professional academy, the quality of Pamir's students is unmatched by any other academy in the empire.
There are five or six children of destiny gathered here alone.
With a glance, Avis even saw the figure of a silver-haired girl [Summer Night Firefly] in the crowd.
Although she said no, her body still came in honestly.
While looking at the people in the cave, Avis's eyes gradually locked onto a boy with blond hair and green eyes.
That was Ryan, the child of destiny who triggered the secret here in the previous life.
As if it was destined, he finally came here decades earlier than in his previous life.
After sensing it briefly, Anvis immediately determined Ryan's current strength.
His real strength is only around level two, and the only two teammates around him are men.
