Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 290: Underground Canyon!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

After a long time, the dust cloud finally dissipated. The huge pit which was originally about a hundred meter wide had widened by several times to around 400 to 500 meters!

No one dared to go down yet since the radiation level was still very strong. They needed to wait for a period of time before they could go in. As the explosive used was a weakened nuclear head, the radiation was not too high.

This kind of weakened nuclear weapons had been created specially for the purpose of blasting a smaller area. But while the nuclear radiation from these weapons was not deadly to the human body, the long term damage they could cause was still extremely big if one lingered too long within the area.

The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts from all the different powers had gathered together and were discussing something. In the end, the President of the Martial Practitioners Control Department stepped forward and announced the conditions for entry into the underground crypt.

Firstly, Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would not be making a move. Secondly, those who had not reached the Xiantian level were barred from entry!

Although everyone already knew that it would be like this, those Evolved Jing experts and the others who had rushed here from afar in hopes of a miracle still felt extremely depressed.

One day later, after everyone had adjusted their mental state and prepared themselves, the Xiantian Lords and Fake Dan Experts began to descend into the pit.

Bei Feng stood before the huge crypt entrance and surveyed the scene before him with shock. The entire door had been blasted into smithereens, and the ground had even turned crystalline.

The sturdy door which no one could damage initially had directly been disintegrated along with the rest of the front hall!

Only a black passageway filled with the unknown lay before them, causing one to shudder with slight trepidation!

A huge stone statue sat in the center of the passageway; at a glance it seemed to be in the shape of a celestial dragon. A pearl about the size of a human head was clamped within its mouth.

Bei Feng could smell something like kerosene in the air. A Xiantian Lord went forward at this point and wiped some kerosene on the pearl. Then, he directly brought the fire torch to it.

"Hong!"

The pearl burst into flames, then started to roll gently. In a moment, it rolled into the statue's stomach.

Following that, the torches on the sides of the passageway began to light up one by one, until the entire passageway was fully illuminated!

Before them, one could see that the passageway was split into numerous paths, like a maze. The experts did not waste anytime and each chose a path they liked before proceeding forward.

The Xiantian Lords from the four powers had already been split into small groups of ten. The captured Xiantian Lords from the foreign clans had also been crippled of their cultivation and were forced to walk at the forefront of the group.

Bei Feng also chose a path and stepped into it without any fear.

"This underground crypt is really vast beyond imagination!" Bei Feng exclaimed aloud in surprise after about ten minutes of walking. With his walking speed, he could easily trek about a dozen kilometers in ten minutes.

But despite having walked for such a long distance, the scenery looked completely unchanged! He did not see anybody else, and the passageway looked as endless as before.

"Hua, hua!"

After walking for a long time, a soft sound like that of water could suddenly be heard.

And the further he walked, the louder the sound became!

When he reached the end of the path, Bei Feng was stunned into silence!

The scene before his eyes was like something out of a fantasy story! A towering waterfall stood before him, and a mighty river ran from it, surging wildly into the distance!

On both sides of the river was a lush forest. The tall trees were green and luxuriant, and small plants which gave off gentle light grew alongside them.

From Bei Feng's position, he could not even see the end of the land. The forest stretched as far as the eye could see, and the snarls and roars of savage beasts could be heard from deep in the forest.

Bei Feng suspected that this place should likely have been a huge underground lake, or a gigantic underground river in the past!

Only, along with the flow of time, the amount of water flowing through this place had lessened drastically, resulting in there only being this forty, fifty meter wide river.

The place where the forest now stood should have been once occupied with water. The water must have brought in various kinds of seeds throughout the years, which ended up growing here, resulting in this beautiful underground world! That was the only explanation he could think of to justify this phenomenon.

This place looked like a giant canyon stretching for countless li. Only, this was an underground canyon!

Bei Feng felt quite lost in this moment. What should he do now?

Not just him, everyone who stepped into the underground crypt were stupefied by this sight. With such a huge area laid out before them, how were they supposed to pinpoint the location of the martial king's grave?

But since they were already here, everyone could only harden their scalps and enter this fantasy land.

"Rumble!"

As the crowd stepped into the underground canyon, the passageways behind them started to collapse. Those within the passageway who had not emerged were directly stuck within!

If one were buried at such a depth underground, even a Xiantian Lord would not be able to survive!

Although Xiantian Lords could do without eating and drinking for several months, it was impossible to break out of such a thick layer of rocks using pure physical strength even if they had tens of years of time!

If one was near the exit when the passageways collapsed, there might be a chance for survival. But if one was still in the middle of the passageway, there was only the path of death remaining.

Although Bei Feng was very surprised at this turn of events, he was not overly worried. Even if the entire passageway had collapsed, he could forcefully tunnel a way through using the golden flying dagger, albeit with the expenditure of a bit of time.

Bei Feng furrowed his brows and said, "But this Martial King doesn't seem like a benevolent character at all. The way he's doing things, it's obvious that he does not intend to let anyone who entered his tomb to get out!"

This was actually very reasonable. No one would appreciate having their resting place being disturbed when they were dead. At this point, he could only accept the situation. Since he was willing to step into this crypt, he would naturally have to be willing to accept that he could die in here.

Bei Feng shook the dark thoughts out of his mind. His casual demeanor vanished, turning into wariness and seriousness. He sent his field of perception outwards, covering an area of thirty meters around him!

Unexpectedly, as he walked through the forest, Bei Feng did not discover any living creatures. It was like the roars he heard earlier were all just illusions!

The Xiantian Lords from the four superpowers had all joined together into a large group. In an unfamiliar place like this, only with greater numbers of people would they have a better chance of survival.

The Xiantian Lords from the other great powers also grouped up, and the number of people traveling together became bigger and bigger.

A mid stage Xiantian Lord from a mid-scale clan was running through the forest alone at this point, his speed as fast as a ghost.

All of a sudden, this mid stage Xiantian Lord's body was split into two! Crimson blood dripped off a thin line of silk, imperceptible by the naked eye.

A gigantic spider about the size of a large round table descended from the shadows and sunk its teeth into its meal.

Another Xiantian Lord was walking along, minding his own business when a huge pike suddenly burst out of the ground, piercing through him in an instant! Immediately after, he was dragged into the ground, following which a series of bone-chilling crunching sounds could be heard.

Bei Feng was also proceeding carefully when he suddenly stopped and sent out his flying dagger without warning. He paused for a moment and recalled the flying dagger, then stomped down heavily at the ground in front of him. A three-meter area directly collapsed into the ground, revealing a large pit.

A strange bug was lying within the pit, its body sliced into two by the flying dagger. This bug was completely gray in color, and its outer shell was as tough as rock. A three-meter-long black horn grew out of its forehead!

"Ding! Grade 4 Demonic Beast found, Sand Worm! (This creature has very slow movement speed, and does not excel at long-range attacks. However, it has shocking explosive strength against enemies within ten meters of it. The horn on this worm is extremely sharp!) Experience gained: 0!"

This was the first Demonic Beast Bei Feng had encountered in the underground crypt. But although it was only at the Evolved Jing realm of strength, even Xiantian Lords had to be careful when stepping into its territory!

Bei Feng had already discovered the presence of this creature earlier. Even as he stood before the creature's carefully dug trap, the Sand Worm had already arced its body, ready to lunge forward and initiate its attack!

Of course, although the Sand Worm had great explosive might within ten meters, it was still far too slow compared to Bei Feng's flying dagger. Bei Feng cut the creature's horn off, kept it in his spatial ring and walked off.

For the sake of this underground crypt, he had already cleared out all the stuff in his spatial ring save for some of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat. Everything else was left behind in the villa.
