Chapter 136 Underground Crisis
Suk and his group have now arrived at the location of the frozen lake.
Standing at the frozen lake, Saki tried to probe it with her mental power, but quickly gave up. Even the eighth-level cosmic-level illusionist beside her said that she couldn't reach the bottom with her mental power. It was obvious that this frozen lake was formed many years ago for some reason. Although there was ice as an obstacle, it shouldn't be so difficult that even an eighth-level cosmic-level mentalist couldn't reach the limit.
"This Divine Flower Continent, as a landmass born from a secret realm, was originally incredibly vast, with a diameter exceeding one hundred billion kilometers."
"The earth's thickness is probably billions of kilometers," Eloi exclaimed.
This is indeed exaggerated. Without seeing it with one's own eyes, it is hard to believe that such a vast landmass exists in the void of the universe, and that it is home to countless human races.
"According to the Lord of the Nine Realms, he discovered the location of the 'Myriad Star Stone' more than 1 million kilometers underground. He originally wanted to find another treasure, but unexpectedly discovered traces of the Myriad Star Stone. It can be said that he was extremely lucky," Su Ke said with emotion.
The value of the Myriad Star Stone definitely surpasses the treasure that the Nine Realms Lord originally sought. Unfortunately, he arrived too early, before the treasure had fully matured. Therefore, after a brief examination, the Nine Realms Lord could only regretfully give up and leave this discovery in a message for future generations.
"If I can break through and gain eternal life, I can easily take out the Myriad Star Stone. If I perish along the way and die, the Myriad Star Stone, no matter how precious, will be irrelevant to me." This was probably what the Nine Realms Lord thought back then.
"I hope that this time, the Lord of the Nine Realms won't play us for fools like he did with the entire Jialan Empire," Zuo Mu muttered. "Don't worry, Senior Nine Realms wouldn't be that bored," Su Ke laughed. "Just the fact that he left us so many treasures and riches is enough to make this trip worthwhile."
Saki beamed. "That's true."
"Let's go down. Remember to be careful and keep records along the way using the auxiliary computer," Suk said, looking around.
Then a group of people started breaking through the ice and crawling down to the bottom.
Beneath the frozen lake lay ice, a hard, frigid layer that did nothing to stop Suk and his companions. Surrounded by a group of cosmic-level servants to do their hard labor, Suk and his team could simply relax and watch from behind.
Go deeper and deeper... deeper and deeper...
A distance of 100 million kilometers sounds like a long time, but it actually takes even longer to drill through. For a super being like the Nine Realms Lord, it might be very easy, but for Su Ke's subordinates, this secret realm continent is also nourished by the cosmic primordial energy of the secret realm over the years, and the rocks underneath are equally frighteningly hard. Even cosmic-level servants will get tired after drilling for a long time. Fortunately, there are many of them, so they can take turns working at any time.
Moreover, the underground is not a peaceful place. Some ferocious beasts like to live underground and have dug out maze-like passages in the vast underground world.
"Taste...::::" A creature with a yellowish-brown body, a hundred meters long, and resembling a scorpion suddenly burst out of the ground and attacked Suk and his companions like lightning.
"Boom!" The cosmic-level servants, who were always on high alert, immediately stepped in to defend against the ferocious giant scorpion.
"Everyone be careful, this is a cosmic-level ferocious beast!" Suk saw the warning from the intelligent computer and his expression changed drastically.
Everyone tensed up and became even more vigilant, surrounding Suk and attacking the giant scorpion with its yellowish-brown shell.
"Its defense is also very strong." A solemn expression appeared on Hail's face as he slashed at the giant scorpion but found that it could only leave a small crack.
The scorpion, which suddenly appeared, saw that its attack had failed, and that the opposing side outnumbered it and emanated a sense of threat.
The scorpion slowly retreated, seemingly intending to leave.
"Don't let it go; it might have other companions," Eloi warned.
"Take it down!" Suk gave the order, and immediately, apart from two cosmic-level servants, the rest of them followed Hail and charged forward to launch a frenzied attack on the giant scorpion, intending to finish it off quickly.
"Rumble..." A group of cosmic-level creatures were fighting wildly underground, and the destructive power was quite astonishing. However, the underground rock material was special, so even if it was destroyed, the power could not be transmitted very far, but some vibrations still spread far and wide.
Seeing that his men hadn't managed to capture the scorpion anytime soon, Suk's eyes turned cold, and jet-black vines shimmering with mysterious light sprouted from his body, entwining themselves around the battlefield.
The giant scorpion was already at a disadvantage when suddenly thick, long black vines appeared around it, wrapping around it. The giant scorpion attacked with its claws and tail, tearing the vines apart, but the cuts would heal in the blink of an eye. The vines would then continue to entangle the giant scorpion relentlessly, and their size would continue to expand, making it even larger. This would invisibly compress the giant scorpion's space and make it difficult for it to move.
"Ouch..." The giant scorpion cried out anxiously, trying to escape, but it was too late.
The Death Star Vine could unleash even more terrifying power in this terrain, while the giant scorpion could not dodge. Soon, one after another, the metallic vines wrapped around the scorpion's body parts, making it difficult to cut. Its tail was also pulled and tightened, making it move very slowly, giving it utter despair.
At that moment, a section of the space filled with vines suddenly opened up, and Hail and the others launched their attack.
Thump, thump... The giant scorpion trembled all over; it tried to resist, but was bound by the dense vines...
Their abilities were completely wasted, and they became easy targets.
Meanwhile, Hail and his companions excitedly attacked the giant scorpion, its carapace shattering and cracking, creating one huge wound after another, from which dark yellow blood gushed out, emitting a strong, pungent odor.
As time passed, the giant scorpion in the ground finally stopped moving completely.
"Smash its head off," Suk ordered from a distance, still uneasy.
Bang! The giant scorpion's ferocious, battered head was mercilessly smashed open, and thick fluid mixed with colorful substances spilled all over the ground.
Suk continued to tightly bind the seemingly lifeless giant scorpion with the Death Star Vine, carefully approached, and then used his spatial ring to retrieve it.
Whoosh, the yellowish-brown giant scorpion disappeared.
"I don't know where this scorpion came from, but it's incredibly strong." Saki walked up from behind.
Eloi walked over to Suk, her expression grave: "I'm worried that there might be other creatures like this underground."
Suk nodded silently. In a vast world with a thickness of billions of kilometers and a diameter of over a hundred billion kilometers, underground survival was not surprising.
But Suk wasn't about to give up so easily. He glanced at the servants beside him; it was time for them to step in the trap.
Otherwise, why buy from them?
"Haier, you take five men and continue exploring downwards. If you encounter danger, you can retreat at any time. I'll be waiting for your good news up here," Suk said in a deep voice.
Although Hail and the few chosen cosmic-level servants who remained were certainly unwilling, they had no choice but to obey Suk's orders.
