The next morning, Ding Meng's group of six was already waiting on the tarmac.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't appear until nine o 'clock in the morning. He always had a cigarette in his hand. He had a leisurely and leisurely demeanor.
"Elder Lu, can we depart now?" Ling Xingqi asked.
Lu Xiaoyun said, "It's time to depart, follow me!"
Everyone was surprised, weren't they going to take the flying car and leave?
Lu Xiaoyun led the group back to the vacation center, then walked west along the river, finally arriving at a small mountain on the west side.
Everyone was a first-class expert. They immediately realized that this verdant hill had been artificially built. The interior had been hollowed out, and a small path led directly to the inside. At the entrance, there was a group of elderly couples trimming the flowers and trees. They seemed to be the forest guards of this place.
Although they were forest protectors, everyone knew that this couple's strength was unfathomable, and their aura was so pure that no one had ever seen it before. Even in Ding Meng's perception, the two of them were close to the standard of interstellar martial artists. They seemed to be trimming the plants, but in reality, they were the guards at the entrance. The situation inside the small mountain was definitely very important.
When they saw Lu Xiaoyun, the couple bowed, "Elder Lu!"
Lu Xiaoyun nodded with a serious expression, "Thank you for your hard work, I've been asked to bring the six of them in."
As he spoke, he took out a rainbow crystal card, the couple glanced at it, then silently moved aside.
Everyone immediately understood, the security level here was very high, not only were there two advanced level wargods guarding, they also had to show the relevant identification.
Inside the gate was a long straight path similar to a starship's passageway. At the end of the path was a fully enclosed shuttle ladder. Even this shuttle ladder required the correct password to enter. However, the shuttle ladder took a long time to descend, so Lu Xiaoyun was solemnly explaining to them:
"The ancestors of the family first discovered the Holy Splendor on the Holy Planet, after a period of development, they also built this place. Our Rabik family has always supported the Federation government's policies, so we didn't dig too deep, everything was left to the upper echelons. After so many years, this is my third time descending to this place."
There was a faint trace of regret in his voice, but everyone could still hear it. Could it be that there were still treasures buried underground?
The shuttle ladder ran for ten minutes before it stopped. After the door opened, a vast metal hall appeared in front of him, but there was nothing in the hall. Ding Meng felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar.
Lu Xiaoyun continued to lead everyone forward. Ding Meng soon understood why this place felt so familiar. It was because at the end of the hall, there were five huge closed alloy doors on the huge steel wall. This was exactly the same as the underground server hall of the Kobayashi Research Institute.
Could it be that the mysterious underground world that Lin Kejia mentioned was behind the door?
Lin Kejia's voice seemed to ring in Ding Meng's ears, "No matter which entrance you go down from, you can't go down from here."
There was more than one entrance to the underground world. He didn't expect the Rabik family's Rabik City to have one as well.
Sure enough, there was a long LCD screen by the door frame of the five doors. This was an 18-digit dynamic serial code lock. Lu Xiaoyun took out the colorful crystal card again and inserted it into the most central slot. The dynamic code immediately began to jump. Not long after, all the changing Arabic numerals turned green, and the system's voice sounded, "Authentication passed. Permission granted!"
Lu Xiaoyun turned around, her face very serious, "Alright, children, I can only send you here. After you go in, everything will depend on you. Whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on your own luck and hard work. I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now, but I still say the same thing. After you go in, you will find the answers. If you encounter great danger, you can go back the way you came!
Finally, let me give everyone a friendly reminder. This place is the entrance, and it should be the safest of all the entrances. "
With a "swoosh", the alloy door opened automatically, and it was pitch black inside.
Ding Meng was the first to enter. Ji Chenxue, Ling Xingqi, Jun Ling, Liang Yi, and Liang Yiran followed closely behind.
They finally entered this mysterious underground world, but it was quite different from what Ding Meng had imagined. This was because behind the door was a long flight of stairs. The stairs were very wide, allowing more than ten people to walk side by side. However, the stairs were slanted downwards, and the end couldn't be seen at a glance.
Looking back at the alloy door, there was a mechanically closed wheel lock on the door. It was very obvious that it was very difficult to enter, but extremely easy to leave.
The six of them went down together, and after walking for who knows how long, they finally saw light. Ling Xingqi said quietly, "We should be at least ten thousand meters underground."
She had also been out adventuring for many years, so Ding Meng knew that her judgment was definitely quite accurate.
At this moment, a familiar scene appeared once again. This was a magnificent underground plaza. Its area was even larger than a large spaceport. Rows of pillars extended into the distance, and in the distance, there was a row of stairs leading up. At the top of the stairs was a majestic palace.
Perhaps Ji Chenxue, Liang Yi, and Liang Yiran didn't know how powerful this place was, but Jun Ling cried out involuntarily, "Divine Light Plaza?"
Ding Meng and Ling Xingqi's expressions were serious because they knew that Jun Ling wasn't speaking nonsense. This was indeed an extraordinary Divine Light Plaza.
Ling Xingqi squatted down and touched the ground with her hand. "Unfortunately, this is artificial. It's not the real Divine Light Plaza."
Everyone noticed that the ground was paved with square gray stone slabs. The pillars were also made of stone, and the walls were cast with a kind of stone with a weaker luster. The use of these materials allowed the entire square to have a certain amount of light, so that it would not fall into eternal darkness.
Ding Meng immediately turned to look at Ji Chenxue, but Ji Chenxue shook his head slightly, meaning that the Divine Light Necklace couldn't sense the corresponding energy.
Was this place built by the Rabik clan?
Why did they have to imitate the Divine Light Plaza?
Could it be that Madam President wanted everyone to search for Divine Light Energy?
Or perhaps there were ruins buried in this underground world?
There were just too many questions, but no one could answer any of them.
"Let's go up there and take a look!" Ding Meng decisively ordered.
The inside of the palace was also completely empty. There was only a gap in the very center, and there was another long flight of stairs inside. However, this time, they weren't in an artificial environment. Instead, it was like a muddy tunnel in a mining area, gloomy, dark, and damp.
Ding Meng was undoubtedly the most experienced in this area. As he walked, he observed the walls of the tunnel. "These weren't deliberately dug out using tools. Instead, Origin Ability users used various types of Origin Energy to open up these tunnels. This is actually a standard underground mining area."
Liang Yiran said, "There's actually a mining area under the Sacred Planet? That's incredible."
What she said made sense. The Sacred Splendor System had been discovered for many centuries. If there were treasures underground, they would have been dug up long ago. However, Lu Xiaoyun had let them in. This could only mean one thing, and that was that the underground mining area had been deliberately sealed off a long time ago. Normal people couldn't enter, and those who weren't were not allowed to enter, either.
The corner of Ling Xingqi's mouth twitched, as if she had something to say, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
At this moment, a standard bridgehead for a mining area appeared in front of them. There was a steel bridge here, but past the bridge, there were three tunnels. Ding Meng sensed for a bit and found that there were many forks in the road ahead. The terrain of this mining area was extremely complicated, more complicated than any terrain he had ever seen before.
"Let's split up!" Ling Xingqi suggested. She obviously didn't want to travel together with Ding Meng.
"It's best if we don't!"
Liang Yi objected. "Haven't you noticed that the signal isn't working down here? The wristbands can't be used anymore."
Ding Ling was the most vigilant. "Lu Xiaoyun and Suo Mansha are so powerful, but they aren't coming down. I think it's best if we stick together before we figure out what's going on."
Ling Xingqi had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, Ji Chenxue took the initiative to retract his telekinesis. Ding Meng spread out his telekinesis vision with all his might. After scanning for a while, he decisively pointed to the leftmost tunnel. "Let's go this way!"
The tunnel was slanted downwards. It took about half an hour to pass through each fork. For the speed at which this group was advancing, the length of each tunnel was already quite astonishing.
At this moment, they had arrived at a cave. This cave was a bit special. It wasn't as cold and damp as the tunnels, but rather very dry. There was a large pit in the middle of the empty space. The shape of the pit was also very strange. It was full of whirlpools, as if some giant creature had stayed there.
Looking at this pit, the water droplet finally materialized and came out.
Before it could speak, it gave Ling Xingqi a fright. She reached out to touch the satchel at her waist.
"We're on the same side. Don't get excited!" Ding Meng hurriedly stopped her.
Ling Xingqi's face was full of shock and uncertainty. But when she saw that everyone was calm, she stopped.
The water droplet said, "Ding Meng, this pit is an incubation cave."
Ding Meng frowned. "What do you mean?"
The water droplet said, "Do you still remember Madison Planet and Azure Tree Planet?
Those monsters were slowly incubated underground. "
Ding Meng nodded. "That's right. But this pit should have existed for a very long time, at least a few hundred years. It's too clean. There's no residue or wave. We can't tell if this is a demon, Demons, or some other species."
Everyone lowered their heads again and sank into deep thought. This underground world was too strange. From what they had seen so far, they could preliminarily determine that there were traces of Shenguang Technology and an unknown species underground.
At this moment, the necklace around Ji Chenxue's neck expanded with a faint halo.
Ding Meng was immediately shocked. The necklace had sensed something. "Where is it?"
Ji Chenxue pointed to the three o 'clock direction of the cave. "The wave is coming from there."
"Let's go!" Ding Meng led the way and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
This time, the passageway was exceptionally long. However, the halo emitted by Ji Chenxue's necklace was getting brighter and brighter. The frequency of the halo was also getting higher and higher. In the end, it transformed into a firefly and floated left and right to lead the way.
Everyone looked excited because this was the wave of Shenguang's energy. Its aura was very strong.
