Did the Rainbow Paradise exist?
They had to enter the core area of the stone forest to find out.
Reynold, Thomas, Philip, and the other leaders discussed and decided to accept Čepes's suggestion. They entered the end of the second secret passage and rested for a few days in the depths of the stone forest to avoid the pursuit of Castellan Özy's troops.
The secret passage was extremely dry, without any moisture at all. Many of the rocks were like lava erupting from volcanoes, but their shapes were strange and wrinkled, and they did not look like they came from underground. After walking for a few kilometers, forks of different sizes appeared in the second secret tunnel, some deep and some shallow. If it weren't for the demi-human guards leading the way, they wouldn't have been able to find their way in the labyrinth-like underground world.
Three hours later.
The tunnel went deeper and deeper, showing no signs of returning to the surface.
"Can the exit of this path really lead to the surface?" Arius was a little suspicious. If they wanted to return to the surface, they should go up. How could they go down?
"I can guarantee that the exit of the second secret passage is in this direction!" Čepes nodded with absolute certainty. "Captain Babu and I spent half a year exploring. We have figured out all the passages and forks in the entire underground. This is the only way. No matter how far we go, there will be no exit in the end. "
After a short rest, the camp guards and the exploration team continued on their way.
They went over a high slope.
What appeared in front of them was an extremely narrow stone arch bridge that could only allow two people to walk side by side. This stone arch bridge seemed to be natural. It was a hundred meters long and slightly curved between two cliffs.
The bridge was very smooth and difficult to walk on. Even one person would feel cold walking on it, let alone two people walking side by side.
After crossing the bridge.
They walked forward for about half a kilometer in a cave.
They arrived at an extremely spacious underground space that was the size of a dozen football stadiums.
"My blood is boiling even more!" Fawkes frowned. She felt that she was in a completely different world before and after crossing the bridge. If the boiling blood energy had increased by three times after entering the secret passage, then it had increased by five times or even more. If this continued, it was very likely to reach the critical value of ten times that Lin Dong mentioned.
"I don't know!" Faced with the leaders who came to question him, Čepes's reaction was unexpected. Contrary to his previous calmness, he said, "This has never happened before! I swear, I really didn't hide anything. This kind of extraordinary blood boiling is something we've never seen before! "
"There was an obvious reaction after crossing the stone bridge. Wasn't it like this before?" Although Thomas was very dissatisfied with Čepes's explanation, he still decided to clarify the matter first.
"In the past, the front and back of the stone bridge were the same. There was no difference." Čepes was certain.
"This is indeed the first time we've seen blood boiling so violently. You guys are still fine, but us Inhumans and humanoids are losing control." Captain Babu frowned. "Strange, I just patrolled half a month ago, and there was no such situation at that time. Could it be that something happened in the second secret passage in just half a month?"
"Could it be the dimensional gap that the lunatic mentioned has appeared?" Bloody Mary boldly speculated.
"I don't know …" Čepes smiled bitterly.
"Then should we continue to move forward? If we continue to move forward, the blood boiling may further increase. The consequences of this instability will put our entire expedition team in danger. But if the legend of Rainbow Paradise is true, and the dimensional gap has really appeared, it would be a pity for us to give up when we are only one step away from the door. " Thomas was very cautious. He gestured for everyone to vote. If someone did not want to go on the road, they could stay here and wait for their brave companions to explore and return.
"We, the Knights Templar, are determined to explore forward!" Reynold discussed with Hugo, Andre, Gerrard, and others and decided to continue the adventure.
"Well, we also want to continue." Big Ivan naturally refused to give up at this time.
Nonsense.
They had already come this far, how could they give up!
If Rainbow Paradise was true, even if it was not as beautiful as the legend, even if it was only one percent, it would be a worthwhile trip!
The leaders decided to continue the adventure and explore the legendary beautiful and mysterious Rainbow Paradise. Unlike the leaders, Lin Dong said that he was tired and stayed here to wait for everyone to return.
"Then I will stay too!" The Griffin was extremely unwilling. He still wanted to see Gloria, who was comparable to the legendary number one beauty, Helen!
"You don't have to do this." Fox snorted.
"I want to go to God's side!" Griffon said that he was a die-hard fan.
"If Griffin stays, then we stay too, or he will die of boredom alone!" Don Quixote and Panza had no choice but to compromise in the face of Griffon's fierce eyes. Philip saw this and simply asked Jonathan and Remiga to stay. Big Ivan also asked Sergey Aliev, the best player in the Eastern European League, to stay.
"Why? Mr. Wood, why don't we go together? " Reynold was a little puzzled. He wondered if this boy wanted to go back and destroy the stone bridge.
"No reason, I just feel a little tired and need a rest." Lin Dong did not explain at all.
"We respect Mr. Wood's opinion!" Thomas said, but he and Bloody Mary each left a few of their best men to keep an eye on them.
"…" Čepes was very depressed by Lin Dong's change. Everything was fine, but this "Mr. Wood" did not want to go, but he could not force him to go with them. It was really a headache. Fortunately, it was only here. If they went deeper, he would wonder if Lin Dong had found out some secret. But this was still the periphery. No matter how smart Lin Dong was, it was impossible for him to find out. Was this boy really tired? Did he need to rest? Or was he afraid of danger ahead, so he deliberately let the main force go first?
"Maybe his sword is too heavy!" Captain Babu, who had the steel arm, felt the same. The giant weapon was good, but it was too heavy. After a few hours of walking, no matter how strong one's physical strength was, they would be tired.
All the major forces sent people to stay.
The Dark Palace left Jonathan and Remiga, as well as a few shadow warriors for Lin Dong to order.
The main force continued to move forward.
Lin Dong slept soundly in the tent that the Shadow Warriors had set up, leisurely and contented. The Griffin and Don Quixote, who had nothing better to do, played cards to kill the time. As for the other team members who were ordered to stay behind by their leader, they were filled with even more anger. Unfortunately, no matter how unhappy they were, they didn't dare to vent their anger on Lin Dong. Otherwise, the Griffin wouldn't mind using them to kill off this boring time.
Two hours later, the team members who stayed were full of food.
Except for eating.
They really did not know what else they could do.
Although they were also staying, they did not dare to play cards with their companions like Griffon. If their leader found out that they slacked off, they would definitely die!
"There seems to be a light spot in front. Look, there it is again. It is a light shadow about the size of a palm. It looks like a little man with wings!" The team members who stayed behind were bored to death. Suddenly, they found that the dark shadow in front of them seemed to be flashing. When they looked closely, they found that the light shadow was like the legendary fairy with wings.
"It's running away! Go after it! Catch it!" The team member who stayed behind was the fastest to react and was the first to rush up.
"I was the first to find it!" The team member who stayed behind from the Gorse Dynasty was angry.
"It belongs to whoever catches it!" The team member of the Holy Knights Templar ran wildly, trying to grab the first position.
"How about we leave two people behind to keep watch?" But the Eden Regiment did not forget to leave two people behind to keep watch on Lin Dong. But Lin Dong did not move at all. He went back to his tent to rest. But Griffon, Don Quixote, and Panza threw away the cards in their hands and seemed to be interested in chasing the fairy. Griffon and the others were strong. If they joined in, it would be hard to say who would win. It was very likely that he would snatch the fairy from them.
If Griffon took the fairy away, he would definitely give it to Mr. Wood.
In this way.
The possibility of getting the fairy back was very small. Even if their leader asked for it, it would be very difficult!
The little ball of light flying around in the sky circled around in the spacious space. Its speed was extremely fast, and there were a few times when it almost caught up to it. However, the ball of light accelerated and escaped. Moreover, this little ball of light was very naughty. It actually knew how to lure the team members who were chasing it on the ground. Sometimes when they stopped, it would fly a little closer … Faintly, it seemed to be laughing.
The team members from all sides blocked off all sides, trying their best to catch the little thing as soon as possible.
Some of them even took out a net from their backpacks.
The little thing panicked and didn't care where it was going.
With a whoosh, it flew into a rock crevice, as if trying to hide.
The dozen or so members who stayed behind looked at the tent. Lin Dong, Fox, and Fuuma Shizuko were all there, while Griffin, Don Quixote, and Pan Sa were slowly approaching them. They seemed to have the intention of robbing them. They hurriedly worked together to block the gap between the rocks. They agreed that the four sides would split the loot equally, and then they would send out the smallest person to go in and capture them.
"Damn it, there's nothing in there!" The thin team member searched for a long time, but he couldn't find a single hair, let alone the glowing fairy.
"You're the one who didn't look carefully!"
"Let me, my eyes are the best!"
After some noise, the four teams decided to send one person each to force their way into the rock crevice to search.
However, this almost digging three feet into the ground was still in vain. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any trace of the fairy. The team members finally gave up all hope. One by one, they sat on the ground dejectedly, not wanting to speak for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, one of the team members suddenly woke up. Why didn't Griffon and the others come up to mock him? When he looked up again, he found that the tent was still there, but Griffon and the others had disappeared!
How is this possible!
It's only been a few minutes, how did Griffon and the others disappear?
The team members rushed into the tent in panic and found that there was no one inside. The first target they needed to monitor, "Mr. Wood," had disappeared under their eyes!
What surprised them the most was that before they caught the fairy, they clearly saw the special candle that was still burning and glowing.
When they came out of the tent, they found that it had already burned out.
They reached out and touched it.
They found that the remains of the candle had already cooled and solidified.
"Damn it, someone stole at least half an hour of our time!" One of the team members who stayed behind shouted with a face full of sweat, "We couldn't have caught that strange fairy for more than five minutes. Moreover, we've been secretly watching the tent. Mr. Wood and Fox haven't shown any abnormalities. However, when we were dizzy and crowded together to surround the fairy, someone stole our time without us knowing. I'm sure that Mr. Wood has been gone for at least half an hour. Now, I might as well confirm whether we were confused by that damn fairy, or accidentally entered the gap in time and space! Mr. Wood has no reason or ability to steal our time. There must be something strange about this! "
"We may have been separated by the gap in time and space. That glowing fairy may be the key to the entrance of the Rainbow Paradise!" Someone suspected.
"The one who entered might not be us. We're still in the same place, but the one who entered might be Mr. Wood!"
"No matter what, we have to report it to the higher-ups immediately!"
"I hope the leader believes us, otherwise …"
