Perhaps this metaphor was a bit improper; however, such a scene made Zhang Tie feel that he and the demon knight were like two trivial insects who fell into a huge toilet bowl. The moment the toilet bowl pumped water, the two insects had been flushed down together with each other.
Zhang Tie didn't know why he was so lucky. After randomly choosing a waterway among the numerous underwater forks and karst caves, Zhang Tie found that he was at least 300 miles per hour.
The water current rushed into the underground at a very high speed. Zhang Tie estimated that he could reach at least 300 miles per hour in the water current.
After being sucked into the swirl, Zhang Tie felt that he was falling down a 90-degree cliff like a waterfall. Closely after that, he was drawn into the maze-like underground waterway and continued to rush downwards. After that, he fell down a cliff again... The demon knight was just 100 m away from Zhang Tie as it was gazing at Zhang Tie. At this moment, the demon knight would not allow Zhang Tie to disappear in front of its eyes. It had fallen into the underground world where its future was uncertain; however, the one that it wanted to kill had disappeared. It would be the biggest tragedy if it failed to kill such a b * stard by sacrificing a demon knight.
Zhang Tie also sensed the demon knight's killing intent. However, Zhang Tie didn't care about that. No matter what, he had Castle of Black Iron. Additionally, he was in the water. Based on the above two points, no matter where the water current took him, he would be able to escape. No matter where this water current took him, he could protect himself.
The distance of 100 m was the safe distance that Zhang Tie purposefully kept with the demon knight. If so, Zhang Tie would be attacked by that demon knight. Even in the water, a demon knight's battle strength could not be underestimated. As long as the demon knight pointed at Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would be instantly killed. As long as the demon knight pointed at Zhang Tie, a battle qi like a bolt would be shot out of the demon knight's finger. After passing dozens of meters of water current, Zhang Tie would spurt out blood.
Zhang Tie's safe distance was 100 m; however, there was no such safe distance in the underwater forks and bends. The distance between many bends and forks was less than 100 m. After making a few turns in the high-speed torrent and entering a few forks, the group finally stopped. The moment Zhang Tie turned a corner, he had disappeared in front of the demon knight. After hesitating for 1/100th of a second, the demon knight controlled its body and entered the left fork along with the water current. Then...
Then, he found that Zhang Tie had completely disappeared from his sight.
Zhang Tie faintly heard the demon knight's furious roar. He knew that the demon knight had lost its target. However, Zhang Tie had no choice. In this case, Zhang Tie couldn't enter the striking distance of that demon knight at the risk of his life to be a signpost for the sake of the demon knight.
Zhang Tie let out a sigh faintly and felt a bit regretful.
However, if he could cheat a demon knight in this way, it would be a profit.
…
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie heard a waterfall-like rumbling sound. Before he responded, Zhang Tie had been ejected out of a hole along with the torrent and fell in the air...
In a split second, Zhang Tie saw the fiery light in the sky and the vast water surface which was sparkling in the red light thousands of meters below his feet.
Zhang Tie started to fall down along with the water currents at an extremely high speed. Zhang Tie was startled as he didn't know the depth of the water. If the bottom of the water was not deep and there were only rocks below, if he fell down from thousands of meters high at such a high speed, he would be severely wounded even if he was not killed.
With a sound "bang", Zhang Tie exerted his strength and punched onto the rock wall near the entrance of the hole. With the counterforce, Zhang Tie got out of the fierce torrent. He then stretched out his limbs like how he jumped off an airship. After that, he rapidly descended. When he was about 100 m high above the water surface, Zhang Tie let out a sigh. The water was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom at all.
When he was going to enter the water, he punched dozens of times on the surface of the water. Closely after that, he slowed down abruptly due to the counterforce. Closely after that, he dove into the water with a sound of "splash...".
...
After more than 10 seconds, Zhang Tie popped out of the water surface over 1,000 m away. Hearing the rumbling waterfall in the distance, Zhang Tie started to observe this place with widely opened eyes.
This was an underground ocean. According to Zhang Tie's falling time and speed, this underground ocean was at least 1,000 miles below the earth's surface.
Zhang Tie had long known that there was an underground ocean; however, it was his first time to see such an underground ocean.
It was an extremely vast underground space. At least Zhang Tie didn't see the boundary of this space when he fell from the sky just now.
Within dozens of miles, there were some magnificent waterfalls in this underground space. Only after 7-8 minutes, Zhang Tie had walked out of the water and came to the sandy beach which was connected with the land and the Earth-Sea Land.
The sand on the sandy beach was also very fine. There were also many plants on this land. Some underground plants were huge fungi like umbrellas; some were huge banana trees as high as 100 m. There were also many grey vines and large tracts of purple grasses. Zhang Tie had seen some of them; however, he had not seen some of them.
Because the red light belt in the sky was not evenly distributed, some places on this land were a bit brighter; some places were a bit dimmer due to the terrain. The entire space formed a very rich and three-dimensional light belt. Where there was light, the underground plants would grow better; where there was no light, the underground plants would grow sparser; some places had no vegetation at all.
After a few minutes, with a cracking sound, Zhang Tie stepped on a rotten leaf and fell into a pit on the ground. Zhang Tie was startled as he almost thought that he had fallen into a trap; however, he found it was just a natural pit. Zhang Tie revealed a self-mocking smile as he lowered his head and kicked away the dried leaf before lifting his foot once again.
This time, Zhang Tie was more careful. After a few more steps, he found another pit under his foot. Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he strode over there...
After taking two steps forward, Zhang Tie stopped at once as he frowned, 'The shapes of the two pits are too symmetrical. Additionally, they look a bit familiar...'
Zhang Tie then turned around and watched the two pits seriously as his frown grew deeper. Zhang Tie moved a few steps back as he waved his hand. His iron-blood battle qi surged out softly and swept over the ground like a soft razor. As a result, the thick decayed leaves and dust were blown away, revealing the true features of the two pits at a stroke...
An extremely huge skull appeared on the ground. The two pits were just the eye sockets of that extremely huge skull.
It seemed that the skull had existed here for tens of thousands of years. Only a small part of its face was exposed to the ground. The two eye sockets were completely like two bathtubs for kids. Just now, Zhang Tie stepped into one of the eye sockets...
Zhang Tie took a deep breath at once as his mind froze. That was because it was not a wild beast's skull, but a human's skull. The entire skull was as same as that of a human's. Precisely, it was the skull of a giant that Zhang Tie could not imagine. Because of this, Zhang Tie felt that the shape of the two eye sockets was a bit familiar.
Zhang Tie moved rapidly as he scraped away the rotten leaves and soil along the direction of the skull using his Iron-blood Battle Qi. Finally, a lower part of the skeleton of a 20-m higher giant which was as same as that of a human being could be vaguely seen from the soil...
Before the Catastrophe, when human brains and thoughts were confined in a narrow space by the theory of evolution, most of the people thought that the existence of giants was just a legend or something carved on the mural. However, in fact, giants did exist. Giants' skeletons were the most indisputable evidence. Even before the Catastrophe, they had been discovered by humans across the world for many times. Because the existence of giants could overthrow the so-called authoritative history of humans fabricated by demons and let humans recognize themselves and pursue their own glory. Therefore, those giants' skeletons and discovery experiences before the Catastrophe were covered by numerous black curtains like the real history of humans. Those bribed experts, authorities, so-called biologists, historians, media, and controlled governments would tell you that the so-called giants didn't exist at all. Everything about giants was just a lie and a legend.
However, it was not a lie. After the Catastrophe, everything was gradually exposed. More and more evidences were known to the public. Only then did humans realize that the history of humans was so brilliant and unimaginable. Many things which were defined as legends and myths by the mainstream society before the Catastrophe really existed...
Before Zhang Tie was born, a giant's skull had been discovered in the iron mining area outside Blackhot City. At that time, tens of thousands of people went to the mining area to see that giant's skull, which even caused a sensation in the Andaman Alliance. Zhang Tie was told about this by his history teacher in the Seventh National Middle School of Blackhot City. When his history teacher talked about it, he even sighed with emotions. Later on, that giant's skull was bought by a mysterious person at a high price after being seen for a few days and was directly transported away by airship. From then on, nobody in Blackhot City had ever seen that giant's skull again.
