Chapter 845 Spiral
"Huh..."
"There really is a cave underneath this place."
After leaving the somewhat depressing water, Ronald sat on a protrusion on the edge of the cave and took a breath.
The first time he came here, Ronald looked at his surroundings.
After confirming that there was nothing else here, Ronald did not rush to explore the situation here. Instead, he sat on the edge of the water and whispered the incantation of his own spell.
The purpose of this action is to cleanse the body.
Although Ronald could move around in the water smoothly before, the spell from "The Origin of Species" could not help him dry his clothes. After swimming for such a long distance, the clothes on his body were inevitably completely wet.
Having sticky clothes clinging to your body is definitely not a comfortable experience.
"..."
Soon, the not-so-long spell slowly ended.
Ronald's damp clothes were quickly drained of moisture, returning from the sticky state to refreshing.
"This is much better."
Ronald whispered, sighing at this comfortable state.
Then he stood up again at the water's edge, and then continued deeper into the tunnel leading to a deeper location.
This underground crack that appeared due to the earthquake is long and long, with ample space, and it also brings a more convenient environment for Ronald to move forward.
Walking continuously downward in the tunnel with a slope of about 30 degrees.
While Ronald moved forward calmly, the [Astrolabe] technique continued to record the surrounding terrain at all times.
Compared with the exploration trip in the ice field above, this journey at this moment is even more monotonous. Except for the structure of the tunnel itself, which made Ronald a little curious, the other aspects of the tunnel here were completely unremarkable.
On the terrain record of the [Astral Chart] technique.
Except for the calm and unchanging passage around it, everything is filled with soil and ice, even behind the invisible walls. It was as if the tunnel Ronald was heading forward at this moment was the only way to the underground world.
"..."
However, facing the monotonous records in the [Astral Tray] technique, Ronald was actually a little happy now.
The only access means it's the only option.
Along with this situation, the probability that the crack extending diagonally downwards discovered by Ronald in the volcanic tube is the correct path is also increasing.
Another few minutes passed.
Finally, at the end of the crack that continued to stretch forward, Ronald discovered that the terrain had changed.
He was now quite deep under the ice cap.
The ground under your feet is the Arctic continent covered by ice and snow, the ground of the Arctic continent in the true sense, and above and around it is the polar ice and snow that covers it.
According to common sense, the environment ahead should be consistent with the environment here, and there won't be any big changes.
But if you put the perspective on the horizontal plane for comparison.
After Ronald's journey during this period, his actual vertical position was close to the incredibly flat ice sheet on the previous ice cap.
Just ahead, the map recorded in [Star Map] also confirms this.
Those slender pipes appeared again, and extended from the ice overhead to the ground in contact with them. Each slender pipe directly touched the actual soil surface of the Arctic continent.
And the soil part.
It is also different from the ground Ronald is walking on now.
Some regularly distributed spiral pits suddenly appear from the ground, and then continue to extend downward to deeper locations. At the same time, there are also pits at some locations that are intertwined with each other below, forming a strange and unique underground maze that is connected to each other.
Such terrain.
It can no longer be described by words such as miraculous craftsmanship!
If we compare the labyrinth in Crete that Ronald once passed through with this place, there is also an unbridgeable gap between the two.
As long as someone walks to such a place...
As long as he doesn't have the ability to record terrain or find a way like an [Astrolabe] in Ronald's hands. Then as long as he walks into it, this dark underground world is the coffin in which he is buried, and there is no possibility of escaping from it.
Aware of these phenomena, Ronald's pace continued to accelerate.
There was also a little emotion in his mouth:
"I originally thought that in this world, only those magicians like to build their own bases underground." "
But now it seems that this dust beast likes to drill underground more than people?"
This But it was a phenomenon that Ronald actually experienced.
If the mysterious side occasionally arranges its own schools in buildings on the ground, then the three dust behemoths that Ronald has personally experienced have all buried themselves under the ground.
The comparison of the probabilities between the two sides is almost clear at a glance!
Faced with such brand-new changes, Ronald's choice was very straightforward - continue down!
He had tracked the Arctic continent all the way from Entrod.
How could a seemingly troublesome maze at this time stop him from continuing his downward path?
Soon, Ronald arrived at the location recorded by the [Astral Tray] technique.
Come here in person and look at the details of these spiral pipes in front of you.
What he saw in front of him made him even more amazed.
These tunnels that continue to extend downward are all embedded in the soil, but the walls of the tubes are very smooth, as if they were carved and carefully polished by top craftsmen.
for such a discovery.
Ronald had a very clear judgment in his mind.
This is a state that can only be guaranteed under frequent external erosion.
Otherwise, no matter whether it is the underground environment or over a long period of time, no matter how smooth the walls of these pipes are at the beginning, they will become bit by bit rougher as time goes by.
The only explanation is that Lingguang Mountain appears and disappears every few months.
These underground passages should have something passing through them during this period. At the same time, these passages must be continuously polished to maintain smooth walls.
This is the only experience.
Only in this way can he ensure that he can maintain this state for a long time
. At the same time, there is also an obvious point in front of Ronald - there must be surprises waiting for him below.
Even if you win the smallest probability, what is hidden here is not a dust monster.
Then there is definitely something very magical.
"I hope I can find it as soon as possible..."
With this thought in mind, Ronald jumped into the nearest spiral passage in front of him with neat movements.
Smooth wall tubes, spiral downward slope trend.
After handing over his body to a tunnel with this shape, and after Ronald himself voluntarily gave up on maintaining balance, this place was almost like a natural amusement park slide.
While constantly adjusting the downward direction through the map of [Astrolabe].
Ronald was really like a child playing in a playground, sliding all the way to the depths of the ground...
[Outside are men and women celebrating Christmas Eve. I am home alone, reading a book.
As a result, when I picked up the book from the bookshelf, I cut my finger on the sharp "Social Contract", and then I coded the words in a complicated way in my heart and hands.
This might be Christmas Eve...]
