Charge!
Charge forward without a care for anything else!
Xia Fan activated Rampage Mode and charged forward. He used Fo You as a shield in front of him and Ni Tsai as his armor, carrying her on his back. The three of them combined as one and charged toward the Skeleton Legion.
* Rumble! *
The sound of explosions went on and on, covering the truth of what was happening at the bottom of the sea outside the Devil Palace. Xia Fan was like a cannonball that had just left its chamber, knocking the enemies away.
His strategy was simple. Although the Skeleton Legion could self-destruct, it was fine as long as the explosion did not happen near him. You might have seen how soldiers dealt with grenades in war movies. When the enemy's grenade was thrown into the trench, the soldiers could choose to lie down or pick up the grenade that was about to explode and throw it back.
Xia Fan chose the second option. Any kind of explosion needed a moment to start. At that moment, Xia Fan charged at full speed, knocking the Skeleton Legion that was about to explode and knocking them away. This way, the explosion would not happen near him, but right in front of him, where there were more enemies gathered.
In the blink of an eye, the Skeleton Legion was repeatedly killed by Xia Fan. Broken bodies were everywhere, and the walls were covered in sticky blood. It was like hell on earth.
Xia Fan's speed and crazy charging were effective, but at the same time, he could not avoid being affected by the explosion. At this time, it was up to Fo You and Ni Tsai to perform. Fo You was like a shield, the first line of defense. He was like the front of a battleship, solid and strong, able to knock anything away.
Ni Tsai used her divine wings to protect Xia Fan and herself. The impact of the explosion from the side and the back was all absorbed by the colorful magical wings.
Ni Tsai closed her eyes and buried her face in Xia Fan's shoulder. She could hear the explosions around them and feel Xia Fan's heartbeat. The danger made Ni Tsai and Xia Fan stick closer and closer to each other, like a dying person grabbing at the last life-saving straw.
Feelings would sublimate in battle. Xia Fan and Fo You's trust was built on the foundation of their back-to-back battles. If Xia Fan was not reliable, Little Master would not have brought him along. However, it turned out that Xia Fan was not only reliable, but terrifyingly reliable. Hence, the trust was strengthened until it was unbreakable.
The same thing happened to Ni Tsai. When she was lonely, she had Xia Fan's voice to accompany her. When she was fighting, she had Xia Fan's shoulder to lean on. Naturally, Ni Tsai felt that Xia Fan's shoulder was very solid and warm.
Rumble!
With a final explosion, the blood-soaked path was cleared. Xia Fan was like a guided missile, piercing through the Demon Palace. Or rather, he blew a hole in the thick outer wall.
General Drexton and the others chased after Xia Fan with all their might, but Xia Fan's top speed was close to fifty thousand meters per second. It was not something a normal person could catch up to. The distance between them grew larger and larger. They watched Xia Fan and Nicai's figures disappear, saw countless shattered bodies and destroyed walls, and all of them were shocked. They were amazed by the power that Xia Fan and the other two had unleashed.
There was originally no path, but Xia Fan used his speed and the explosive nature of the Skeleton Army to blast a path out of the Demon Palace, passing through countless rooms and walls.
"Is the sea going to collapse?"
Fo You frowned. After finally breaking through the Demon Palace, he looked up. First, he saw the seal, then the sea. At this moment, there was only a sliver of sky left in the sea. The surface of the sea around the Demon Palace bulged, like the mouth of a monster, and was about to swallow the entire Demon Palace.
There was no doubt that there was a huge change at the bottom of the sea. The Demon Palace sank into the ground. When all this happened, Xia Fan and the others were busy fighting the Skeleton Army. The rumbling sounds of the explosion covered up the noise outside. It was not until they broke through the walls of the Demon Palace that they realized that the Demon Palace was about to sink into the ground.
"I know!" Ni Tsai exclaimed. "The explosion outside the Demon Palace was not an attack by the City Lord of Goetia. It was a warning. In the absence of communication, he used the explosion to warn us to leave this damned place as soon as possible."
Ni Tsai's analysis might be correct, but at this time, it was too late to say anything.
The huge Demon Palace had sunk very deep into the ground. When looking up, Xia Fan felt like a frog in a well. He could only see a small part of the sea and the sky.
.....
The sky was blue and calm. It was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, the storm and waves that were dozens of meters high were still wreaking havoc on this land.
The North Sea, which had a total area of 14,335 square meters, had completely disappeared. Countless flying beasts panted heavily and landed on the muddy ground. The flying beasts were really exhausted. They carried their masters and fought against the storm. Now that the world had calmed down, they finally had a moment to rest. They stretched their necks and caught a few big fish that had sunk into the mud after the sea had disappeared. They ate them to replenish their exhausted energy.
The soldiers jumped off their flying beasts and stepped on the mud. They were all dumbfounded. Mountains appeared on the seabed, and the Demon Palace in the middle of the North Sea had completely disappeared. It had become a huge depression. However, looking down from the outside, they realized that the bottom of the depression had been completely sealed. There was no way to enter the interlayer area.
Roar!
Roar!
The technical team's flying beasts were still flying at high speed. They used all kinds of measuring instruments to explore the world under the surface. In the command center, the atmosphere was unusually serious.
"I have built a set of models," Goetia said, rubbing his red eyes.
His subordinates carried over a transparent glass water reservoir. The bottom of the water reservoir was made of mud and sand, imitating the bottom of the North Sea.
Pa!
Someone pulled out the plug at the bottom of the model. In an instant, a hole was formed under the surface of the sea. The seawater quickly flowed in like a landslide. The surrounding mud also sank into the hole, forming a huge whirlpool on the surface of the water. The rapidly rising water vapor gathered in the air, emitting white fog.
A few minutes later, the water in the model had completely reached the bottom layer. The place that was originally the bottom of the sea had formed an effect similar to the North Sea. The center had collapsed, and the surroundings had risen high. The black stone that was placed in the center of the model as the Demon Palace had not only fallen a layer, but it had also been buried very deep.
Looking around, Goetia said in a deep voice, "Although it is not very accurate, this is the only speculation I can make based on the information I have. Under the North Sea, there has always been a huge hole. The area of the hole far exceeds the total area of the North Sea.
"For some reason, a fault appeared in the underground hole, so the North Sea flowed underground along the fault. The mud and the Demon Palace at the bottom of the sea were also sucked into the mezzanine area due to the siphon effect.
"At the later stage of the siphon effect, because the water was exhausted, a large amount of mud blocked the fault again. Therefore, although we are now above the fault, we cannot find any way to enter the mezzanine area."
This kind of model was easy to understand. The people quickly understood what had happened to the Demon Palace, Xia Fan, and General Drexton in the Demon Palace.
"Since it is an underground hole, can we dig a way through the fault?" Ni Ziru asked loudly. In one night, his hair had turned white from worry, and a few red blisters had appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since Ni Ziru was trapped, he had not drunk a single drop of water. He was only holding on with his willpower.
Goetia shook his head. "You all know the thickness of the mezzanine area. It will take a whole seven days to take the super magnetic elevator from Hidden Demon City, and the average depth of the North Sea is 236 meters. To be able to absorb the entire North Sea in such a short time, the underground hole must be terrifyingly huge.
"Based on the known conditions, if we continue digging, we will need at least three engineering corps, and they will have to work day and night for four to six months."
Everyone paled, and Ni Ziru almost fainted on the spot. Digging along the fault, it would take four to six months to dig out the buried area?
Even if Ni Ziru was still alive, it would take almost half a year to enter the underground hole. Wasn't that too long?
There were many strange life forms living in the mezzanine area. Since ancient times, humans had sent countless exploration teams into it, but on average, only one out of ten people had gone in.
Calvinson coughed and had someone open the map. He pointed at a place called Gignac Volcano not far from the North Sea.
"Our only way now is to enter the mezzanine area from the mouth of Gignac Volcano. That is the closest entrance to the mezzanine area.
"About six thousand years ago, Gignac Volcano had a large eruption. After the eruption, it left behind a narrow passage into the mezzanine area.
