"Now is not the time to discuss this.
"Let's focus on finding Master Lei first!" Long Feijun interrupted Wu Haibo's muttering and spoke in a slightly anxious tone.
"No, now is the best time to discuss this. I have a gut feeling that if we don't understand the ancient ruins, we'll never be able to find Battle God Lei Zongchao. We might even get lost in this mysterious black fog forever."
"By the way, the ancient ruins have already begun to affect your mind, Colonel Long. You're becoming too anxious." Wu Haibo glanced at Long Feijun and said meaningfully.
"Be careful, control your emotions and thoughts. Otherwise, you'll be tempted by the ancient ruins at any moment and fall into darkness. You won't be able to extricate yourself."
Long Feijun was a little taken aback. He took a deep breath, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged looks. They were on guard too.
Saving the Battle God's life was indeed important, but they could not let it turn into an obsession.
Otherwise, the mysterious existence from the depths of the ancient ruins would very likely mimic the Battle God's appearance and lead them astray.
Just then, Wu Haibo caught the scarlet afterimages left behind by the Battle God.
This series of scarlet afterimages zigzagged down the rock wall, and its path was extremely clear. The Battle God did not stop on any foothold or explored too much of his surroundings.
This was enough to prove that...
"Battle God Lei Zongchao seems to know where he's going," Shen Yupeng said.
"Perhaps, long before the ancient ruins were sealed, he had already encountered something indescribable and bizarre down here.
"During the ten years that it was sealed in the ruins, he thought about it day and night.
"Perhaps, it's the biggest reason why Battle God Lei Zongchao took the initiative to propose sealing the ancient ruins."
Wu Haibo added, "The Battle God is aware that if we continue our exploration, it will lead to a drastic change in Dragon City's future no matter what the result is.
"Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never bet the fate of the entire civilization on the unknown answers in this dark abyss.
Everyone looked at the scarlet afterimages that gradually fell into the darkness and thought about the conversation between Wu Haibo and Shen Yupeng. They were silent for a full ten seconds.
This was the last psychological buffer period that Wu Haibo could leave for them.
Next, the search and rescue team performed their first self-examination on Platform No. 1.
For the time being, no one's psychological and physiological detectors beeped.
No one failed to answer the questions they had written in their notebooks either.
At this moment, rustling noises came from the rolling black fog above their heads.
The Black Horn Warriors above the rift had untied the ropes and thrown them down.
The symbolic meaning of doing so was greater than the actual meaning. If they were determined to go up, the uneven rock wall would not be a problem for the rescue team whose average cultivation had reached the Heaven Realm.
However, everyone still felt that the distance between them and the "real world" had widened. They could vaguely smell the blood and sulfur from the depths of hell.
The Black Horn Warriors who followed Wu Haibo fixed the three ropes that had been thrown down to the edge of Platform No. 1. They dangled down to a deeper and darker place underground.
Doing so not only facilitated their subsequent descent but also helped the rescue team determine whether there was something wrong with their minds through the relatively complicated knotting and fixing work.
Everyone continued to descend.
They were like deep divers who had jumped into the middle of the ocean and were gradually sinking into a trench.
The darkness above their heads grew thicker and more viscous.
The darkness seemed to have weight and volume as it constantly eroded the space around them.
It even seeped through their nasal passages, windpipes, and lungs.
It was absorbed by the capillaries in their lungs, and it seeped into their blood and nervous tissues.
Dub dub dub! Dub dub dub!
Huff huff huff! Huff huff huff!
The darkness appeared to filter out all sound.
They could only hear their heartbeat and breathing at this point.
Their exceptionally clear breathing and heartbeat made the surroundings seem even more dead.
Such a deathly stillness was enough to cause claustrophobia even among the most fearless superhumans.
The rescue team members activated the "spirit and magnetic field imaging system" on their helmets in an attempt to dispel the darkness. When they did so, the deep blue brilliance hit the walls on both sides of the rift and created colorful, squirming swirls.
Even Meng Chao had never seen such complicated colors.
It was as if a surging torrent was trying to bombard his brain through his retina, cone cells, and optical nerves.
Illusions were popping up deep within his brain, and he seemed to see mottled, fragmented scenes of the ancient era again. He experienced an ancient war that was a hundred times more terrifying than the apocalypse that was about to destroy Dragon City.
Meng Chao's nerves constricted, and his heart raced. He felt nauseous.
The Heaven Realm experts who were far inferior to him could not withstand the torrent of information. Their faces turned pale, and their eyes were scattered. They were on the verge of collapsing.
Lu Siya, on the other hand, had been crippled due to her broken spirit meridians, so she could not activate her enhanced vision. She could not receive the vast and complicated information torrent on the rock wall, but everything was normal for her.
"We're fifty to seventy meters below ground. Within a hundred meters around us, there are forty-nine horizontal gaps on both sides of the rock wall, and they lead to different underground cavities. Each cavity contains a unique 'test' and precious 'treasure.' The colorful swirls that you see are the spirit ripples of these 'tests' and 'pieces of inheritance.'
"Don't worry," Wu Haibo said. "Mankind has mainly explored fifty to seventy meters below ground in the past half a century. Long before the Blood Alliance was established, many lucky people escaped from the horizontal cracks and brought back plenty of precious ancient technology. It helped mankind to overcome great difficulties at the beginning of the transmigration.
"All in all, this place is relatively stable and safe. We've cracked most of the 'tests' here. The bacteria and viruses that remain here won't likely affect our immune system that's been upgraded over and over again.
"However, if we continue down, things won't be so simple."
Wu Haibo scanned the area below him again.
The illusory scarlet afterimages did not stop around any of the horizontal cracks. Instead, they continued downward.
The figure's indomitable posture did not resemble that of a deep diver exploring the unknown.
It was more like a shooting star that came from beyond the sky. It tore the sky apart and swooped down at high speed.
