"Here is..."

"Kunyang..."

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi murmured, and they couldn't help but be shocked by the underground scene in front of them.

This is a bizarre world, with countless spikes hanging upside down in the sky, like stalactite pillars in a cave, but more than a hundred times larger.

What illuminates all of this is the blue arc-like brilliance floating in the air, as gorgeous as the aurora, but strangely flickering.

Under such a bright sky, searchlights seemed of little use.

At the foot of the mountain where the two of them were, there was a plain shrouded in blue clouds and mist.

Qin Zhibo looked at this scene and suddenly remembered the "Xin's Tombs" in the dreamland he had visited before. There were many similarities between here and there.

For example, the "sky" never changes between day and night, but the tombs of Xin are green and Kunyang is blue.

…

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi did not rush down, but first waited on the hillside to observe the situation here.

Due to the shroud of bluish clouds and mist, the telescope's field of view cannot see what is in the clouds and mist, and can only see what is on the nearby plains.

Soon, Qin Zhibo found a group of livestock wandering in the dark fields of the plain.

These four-legged animals looked neither horses nor bison, but evil monsters with ugly flat faces on their heads.

On the backs of the furs of these animals, you can see some saddles with bronze craftsmanship, as if they are some kind of riding tools.

But within the scope of his vision, Qin Zhibo has not found where the owner who is guarding them is. It seems that they are free to graze.

Qin Zhibo checked the electronic map of the navigator again, but unfortunately, this place was regarded as a whole by the electronic map and was collectively called "Satuo".

Except for the uncertainty among the blue clouds, most of the other places on the plain are deserted plains.

Qin Zhibo took out the real fragment of Paneste again, but the fragment did not show any reaction and was still the same as on the ground.

"It seems we can only move forward..."

While Qin Zhibo was observing, Koizumi Hongzi also took out the crystal ball and performed a divination.

Crystal Ball, who always knows everything, now plays the game of silence is golden, and Koizumi Hongzi refuses to answer no matter how much she asks.

"Hey! Tell us how to go next?"

The crystal ball is silent.

"If you don't speak again, I will smash you!"

Koizumi Anko raised the crystal ball high, as if she was about to smash it to the ground. Then the crystal ball quickly spoke in a high-pitched voice to save its life.

"Lord Anko! Please wait a moment!"

"It's not that I didn't tell you, it's that I really don't know... Do you think, how many magicians have been to that place from ancient times to the present? I have never made the crystal ball of the great magician Yin Boen, how can I know

How to get to Enkai?”

"But I can feel that there is a very powerful force hidden under the ground in this place. It is so powerful that it is unimaginable and terrifying~~"

"If you insist on going down, please put me where others can pick me up. Thank you."

Crystal Ball's last words about calling him a "traitor" made Koizumi Anko so angry that she raised her hand and was about to throw her to the ground.

But Koizumi Anko then thought about it and put the crystal ball back into the package with a smile.

The crystal ball quickly screamed, and the light blue light group ran wildly in the crystal ball wall.

"Lord Hongzi, let me out! I don't want to die together!"

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of the crystal ball disappeared in the backpack, as if the mouth was forcibly covered.

Koizumi Anko patted the dust on her palms and said without any care: "Forget it, this guy is unreliable, we have to find our own way."

Qin Zhibo nodded, he had known this result for a long time.

If the crystal ball was so useful, there would have been more than one great magician named Yin Boen in history.

…

The two of them descended from the dark gray basalt hillside with no vegetation and stood on the endless plain.

The vast plains are mostly fertile black soil mixed with gravel. There is nothing distinguishable on the land, except for the clouds and mists that glow blue and change shape from time to time.

In order to restore their physical strength and reduce their weight, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi first ate some of the food they brought, such as compressed biscuits, chocolate, raisins, etc.

After eating, he hid a day's worth of supplies under the steep hillside and piled a small eye-catching pile of rocks to mark the location of the supplies.

After finishing the repairs, the two of them walked towards the place with the densest clouds and fog, because according to Qin Zhibo's observation, there must be something hidden there.

These clouds are like those created by the Allied crack generator in Red Alert 2. They are always in a condensed state, probably to hide something important.

Perhaps it is the entrance to the legendary Enkai Abyss.

…

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi walked on the deserted plain for three hours, and the time came to more than 6 o'clock.

Although it is dusk outside, there is no sign of darkness here, and the blue sky above is still bright.

But fortunately, the two of them had already reached the location where Qin Zhibo saw a group of livestock on the hillside. This location was not far from the area where the clouds and fog were most concentrated.

By this time, the livestock had disappeared, leaving only some strange footprints.

These huge and weird footprints don't look like hooves, hands, or feet. Strictly speaking, they don't look like claws.

If you look carefully, you will see that although this soil is very fertile black land, there is no vegetation growing there.

In other words, those four-legged livestock just now were not grazing, but probably some kind of hunting, hunting some invisible small animals on the plains.

They may be carnivores.

This made Qin Zhibo feel a little vigilant, and he must be careful about their existence next.

Continuing to move forward, Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi found some more incredible traces.

This is a wide road that extends straight towards the hillside entering Kunyang, and the other end of the road extends into dense clouds and mist.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other, feeling more and more that there was something strange here.

First of all, the saddles on those animals indicate that they have owners.

The second is this ancient road that has been smoothed by humans, which is also something that only advanced civilizations can do.

Various signs indicate that "people" really exist in this underground world.

At this time, Koizumi Hongzi found a shiny object half-rolled into the soil on the road.

"what is that?"

Qin Zhibo heard the sound and walked over, dug it out with a machete, and found that it was a metal coin similar to a badge.

It was cast from an unknown metal with a darker color and a luster between gold and copper. Both sides of the metal coin were engraved with horrifyingly complicated patterns.

There is a bloated octopus head, a fat toad body, and a giant snake head spitting out snakes...

The image on the metal coin reminded Qin Zhibo of Ben Niu's mention that his father had an amulet, and the pattern on it might be like this.

Qin Zhibo felt that it was not such a coincidence that he happened to pick up the amulet belonging to Ben Niu's father.

So it is more likely that this "talisman" itself is mass-produced.

Combined with the possibility that there is an advanced civilization here, perhaps the functional essence of this "talisman" is "currency".

Generally, when a country mints currency, it will choose an image that is of great significance to the country to be engraved on the currency, such as the famous British Queen's Penny.

But this place has engraved these evil images on coins with extremely high craftsmanship.

Choosing a brainwashing method of worship shows the madness of this place.

…

Walking along the road into the clouds and mist, the world composed of desolation and silence finally ushered in some turning points.

There were some trees, shrubs, and a small river surrounded by rocks.

Across the small river in front of us, the avenue is connected to a basalt stone bridge over the river. Behind the stone bridge, you can vaguely see the shadow of a town in the clouds and mist.

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other. Neither of them spoke, but they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.

Pass!

After walking across the stone bridge, the town became more clearly visible in the clouds and mist.

Standing among the sparse vegetation by the river, the two of them carefully observed the town.

This place is not as lively and warm as Usa. Everything in front of you is filled with lifelessness and a weird sense of terror.

There are many ancient and dark stone buildings scattered in the town, and no living creatures can be seen moving in the streets with light mist, until the checkerboard roads extend to more distant and invisible places.

Is this a dead city?

Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi are not sure, but they cannot rule out the possibility.
To be continued...
