Kariponois Island.
The yacht docked.
There were already people from the Eden Army waiting at the dock. When they saw Lin Dong disembark from the yacht, they immediately smiled.
"Respected Mr Wood, welcome! My name is Joao, and I am one of the guides for this trip to the Holy Land. Mr Wood or your team, if you have any questions or requests, you can ask us. Joao and my two companions will tell us everything we know and try our best to serve our esteemed guests who have come from afar! " Joao was a middle-aged man who looked like a typical southern European. He had dark brown hair and was not tall, but his physique was surprisingly strong.
Other than Joao, there were two other guides.
One was a handsome old man with a full beard. His hair was combed back artistically and draped over his shoulders.
This old handsome man from forty years ago called himself Luca. He had an elegant demeanor, but he was obviously not the leader. Instead, he was Joao's assistant who was in charge of the details.
The other one had an ordinary appearance and called himself Marck. He was a silent middle-aged man who valued his words like gold.
"Thank you very much!" Lin Dong let Ye Qianru translate, "I would like to know, when can we go to the agreed location?"
"If Mr Wood or your companions do not need to rest, we can go immediately!" Joao replied respectfully. He knew that although there were many people in this group, they would only listen to one voice, and that was the young man in front of him.
"Please lead the way, Mr Joao!" Lin Dong made a gesture of invitation.
The scenery on the island was excellent.
Usually.
There should be many tourists coming.
Unfortunately, this was the extremely important opening period of the Holy Land. The tourists on the island had long been cleared. Seventy percent of the people who stayed here were the Eden Army's staff. Other than that, there were thirty percent who were specially stationed by other forces to stay here. They worked together to guard against the Eden Army, the host, and also to be on guard against each other. No one dared to relax.
Passing through the scenic area.
There was a rugged rocky coast further ahead.
Very quickly, they saw a huge depression that seemed to have been bitten off by something.
The sunken rock wall was about thirty meters high and cut down vertically like a knife. The southernmost side faced the sea, while the other three sides were steep rocky mountains.
The Eden Army must have flattened the sunken area and covered it with a layer of fine white sand. At first glance, it looked like it was specially developed as a tourist attraction, but in fact, it was just a cover for the entrance to the Holy Land.
"The entrance to the Holy Land is right in front!" Joao gave Lin Dong a simple introduction. "We, the people of Eden, have been guarding the sacred land for generations. The entrance has been camouflaged since a thousand years ago. Even today, even if there are many tourists and the people of the world seem to know Caliponois Island like the back of their hands, they will never know its true secret!"
"Not bad!" Lin Dong nodded. Sometimes, putting the most secretive things in front of the public was a clever way to conceal them. Of course, this required sufficient strength to realize, otherwise, it would be self-defeating.
"We need to cross the rocky shore by the sea. Here, we can go down from here." Ruo led the way in front.
The old handsome Luca and the silent Marck were in charge of holding them back.
Ten minutes later.
The group finally went down to the sunken area.
Under Ruo's lead, everyone continued to move forward. Suddenly, Ruo stopped in front of an inconspicuous rock wall.
His hand pressed some kind of mechanism, and a part of the rock wall silently rose up, revealing a cave entrance about five meters wide and seven meters tall. Only then did everyone realize that the entrance to the Holy Land was right in front of them.
There were no electric lights installed at the cave entrance.
Ruo did not explain anything.
He led everyone in directly. After walking for more than ten meters, the top of the rock at the corner lit up with a gentle light.
After everyone entered, Marck put down the rock wall again and closed the cave entrance. If no one from the outside was paying attention, no one would know that this was the entrance to the Eden Army's Holy Land.
After walking for about a hundred meters, they started to go deeper underground.
The slanted tunnel seemed to go on endlessly.
Perhaps they had already walked more than ten kilometers underground. The tunnel started to become flat, and the tunnel that was originally a few meters tall rapidly expanded into a huge tunnel that was more than ten meters tall, or even more than twenty meters tall. The light became dimmer and dimmer. When they reached a place that looked like a small platform, Ruo suddenly reminded everyone to turn on their flashlights. "There is no way to continue providing electricity in front. We temporarily do not understand why we can't use electric lights in this part of the tunnel. Maybe Mr. Wood or someone who has done research in this field can help us solve this mystery!"
"Could it be electromagnetic interference?" Griffon pretended to be a professional in this field.
"It's possible!" Ruo looked at Lin Dong and realized that Mr. Wood had no intention of expressing his opinion. He could not help but feel that it was a pity.
"How far are we from the real entrance?" Philip asked.
"About a two-hour journey!" Ruo looked at Lin Dong again. "Does Mr. Wood need to rest?"
"Not at the moment, thank you very much!" Lin Dong looked at Big Ivan and the rest. "Do you need to rest?"
"Of course not!" Big Ivan shrugged his shoulders. He raised his arm and made an "I am very strong" gesture. "Not to mention that I have been strengthened many times, even if I hadn't, such a short journey would not be a problem for me!"
"Then, let's continue moving forward!" Ruo finished speaking and took the initiative to lead the way.
Yun Jiyu walked beside Lin Dong with her long legs. "Why do I feel that their holy land has already been opened? Although I don't know what the situation inside their holy land is like, this place is obviously different from the outside, right? We may not have entered the holy land yet, but we are definitely walking on its edge. This place gives me a very strange feeling! "
Qianjun nodded in agreement.
However, Ye Qianru was a little curious. "Senior, are you saying that their holy land can be opened in advance? And for a few days at a time? "
Yun Jiyu did not speak anymore. Instead, she used a secret voice transmission to whisper to Ye Qianru, "Why don't you guess that the gate of their holy land has never been closed?"
Ye Qianru immediately looked at Lin Dong.
Lin Dong did not say anything.
His silence meant that he agreed.
Ruo Ao knew that his Senior Sister Yun Jiyu and Ye Qianru were discussing. Although he didn't quite understand, he looked back at the two girls thoughtfully.
Philip and the others had already begun to suspect that the small platform had inexplicably disappeared. Now that Senior had mentioned it, they immediately confirmed that this Holy Land of Eden was completely different from the entrance to Inferno that they had mastered … Here, the power of the seal was closer to the ground and more powerful. For example, the inexplicable disappearance of electricity, but it did not seem to be restricted like the entrance to Inferno.
More than an hour later.
In front of them.
There were specks of light.
They walked a little closer.
Everyone found that there was a huge underground space in front of them.
It might have a radius of two or three kilometers and a height of nearly a hundred meters. There were generators rumbling in the huge space, and countless lights were on for illumination.
Fox and Enoko Kazama immediately went forward to greet Lin Dong as soon as they saw him.
It was different from the last trip to Inferno.
They were no longer exploring alone. Each of them had ten people with them. Five of them were genetically-enhanced soldiers, while the other five were enhanced martial artists.
Seeing that Lin Dong had arrived, there was a commotion in the crowd that had been waiting for a long time.
Some people had seen Lin Dong many times, but they had never been so close to him like today.
Some people had never seen Lin Dong before, but they had only heard of him.
Some people had not even heard of Lin Dong.
They were hermit monks.
They had been training in secret. They were invited by the Eden Army not for Lin Dong, but to make a pilgrimage to the holy land in their hearts.
Bloody Mary, Hugo, as well as Josiah, Thomas, Bord, Cardinal Nero, Standard-Bearer Arius, Silver Spoon Wise Man John, and the others warmly greeted and welcomed Lin Dong and his party.
If Griffon, Philip, and Big Ivan were Lin Dong's allies, then Bloody Mary and Hugo could be classified as neutral forces. Without special interests, Bloody Mary and Hugo would not start a war with Lin Dong. Thomas, Bord, Josiah, Nero, and John were neutral and friendly on the surface. In fact, if there was a chance to set Lin Dong up in the holy land, they would not refuse. After all, they had dreamed of doing that, but they had never had the chance to do it.
Of course.
If they were not 100% sure, they would not dare to act recklessly.
After all, there were few people in the world who dared to challenge Mr. Wood who had not been slapped in the face by him. Without absolute confidence, they did not mind waiting for a good opportunity. They would not easily expose the hidden side of their hearts!
"He is Mr. Wood? He is too young! " Some of the Hermit Monks felt that Lin Dong was too young. His appearance did not look like the great scientist in their memory.
"He is very young, but he feels very powerful. Is that really the strengthening effect of the gene serum? Why do I feel that he is a bit like us? " Some of the Hermit Monks even thought that Lin Dong should be the same kind of person as themselves, and not a scientific product created by the gene serum.
"Let's ask Vergil and Amon? They should know better! "Someone found Vergil and Amon, the Hermit Monks' mentor.
"He should be a combination of the two. He has the gene serum to strengthen his body, and he knows how to use the Qi of the East. He can even use sword qi!" Vergil looked at Lin Dong with a strange look. "He seems to be stronger. He looks more confident than the last time he went to Inferno."
"What do you mean?" The Hermit Monks were completely confused.
"Mr. Wood did not bring his heavy sword!" Vergil pondered for a moment. "It is an unimaginably heavy sword. It might be more than a thousand pounds, or even heavier. But he can pick it up and use it easily. He can kill enemies as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. I have never seen anyone who can use such a heavy sword! This time, he did not bring the sword. If it is not because he has other weapons, it means that he is stronger and more confident in the underground exploration! "
"Are you sure it is a sword that weighs more than a thousand pounds?" The Hermit Monks were a bit dizzy. How could such a heavy sword be used?
"I have not held it before, but I am sure it weighs more than that."
"How can he walk with it?"
"We find it strange too, but the weight of the sword does not seem to affect him at all!"
"You mean that sword is a sacred artifact? A treasure like the sacred artifact we worship? Impossible. Sacred artifacts can glow. If it is really a sacred artifact, you should be able to see it! "
"Maybe it is an Eastern sacred artifact. We do not know much about Eastern sacred artifacts, so we cannot confirm it."
"If that is the case, this trip to the Holy Land will be very interesting!"
"Don't do anything stupid!"
"Of course we will not. But if the Sacred Spirit of the Holy Land makes a choice …"
