Under the illumination of the enchanted pearls, the three of them quickly dived into the depths of the cave.
The underwater cave, which was originally a beast's lair, was actually very deep. There were many forks in the path, and it seemed to be connected in all directions. Bai Xiaowen and the others kept moving in the same direction and soon arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
"Unbelievable … The height from here to the cave entrance should be more than 100 meters, right?" Li Shuyi said. "What kind of animal would dig this deep?"
Esvan said, "I said before that there are many ferocious beasts in this area. Maybe it's a giant python, maybe it's a dragon. I can't be sure."
This was a rock wall, but there was a triangular crack. If they got closer, they could feel the speed of the seawater flowing into the crack.
"This crack should be caused by an earthquake. It's connected to another cave space …" Bai Xiaowen estimated. "It's big enough for us to go in batches."
"I'll go first," Esvan said in a low voice. "We don't know what dangers lie on the other side."
"Alright." Bai Xiaowen did not insist. As the leader of an advanced spiritual realm, Esvan's HP was more than 1,000. He was the most suitable person to be the first pathfinder …
Esvan was in front, Li Shuyi was in the middle, and Bai Xiaowen was behind. The three of them were like three big fish, swimming into the triangular crack.
After a few meters, they felt a slight sense of weightlessness. Bai Xiaowen felt that he was falling down with the current. The sound of water splashing rang in his ears.
Plop, plop …
Sounds like dumplings being dropped into a pot could be heard continuously. Bai Xiaowen and the other two fell into a deep pool one after another, and then floated up to the surface.
The three of them wiped off the water droplets at the same time and looked up at their surroundings.
Esvan and Li Shuyi were shocked.
This was a rather spacious underground space. There were irregular cracks on the ground and side walls, and collapsed stalactites were everywhere, blocking their vision.
On the high wall behind the three of them, the triangular crack was connected to the outside world. Seawater flowed down, forming a waterfall.
Every second, a large amount of seawater rushed into the deep pool, but the water level of the pool did not rise. Because of the buffer of this pool, a space without seawater was created at the bottom of the sea.
The principle was simple. It was like quickly pressing an inverted bowl into the bottom of a reservoir. The air in the bowl would naturally not dissipate, creating a bowl-shaped air zone at the bottom of the reservoir.
"Phew, looks like we've arrived."
Bai Xiaowen walked out of the pool and took out an Image Recording Crystal. He activated it with a trace of spiritual power and looked around. Occasionally, some pale yellow crystals could be seen on the ground, similar to the crystals on the surface of the spiky shark.
Bai Xiaowen summoned the Butcher again and ordered it to eat the crystals. As expected, he once again received the notification of [Devour Special Minerals to increase Armor and Magic Resistance]. However, this time, the amount of Armor and Magic Resistance that he had devoured was much smaller.
Bai Xiaowen also received a notification about whether or not to overwrite the original effect. Of course, he chose no. The reason why he let Butcher chew on this little bit of crystal was just to prove his guess.
"What exactly is this place?" Esvan's green eyes were full of disbelief.
"According to the ancient books I read in the Wisdom Tree House, this should be called … the Ley Corridor."
It was quite a sense of accomplishment to give local knowledge to people from the Spiritual Realm. Bai Xiaowen's face showed a smile that matched the temperament of a prophet. He continued, "Our continent does not exist in the form of floating on the sea, but in the form of pillars."
"Pillars?"
"Yes, you can divide the Blacktide Continent into several plates. Pillars of the earth veins supported these continental plates. Each pillar corresponds to a very spacious underground space. This space is called the Earth Vein Corridor. "
Bai Xiaowen picked up a small pale yellow crystal. "Do you see this crystal? This is the Ley Pillar's … fragment. "
"Fragment?!" Esvan suddenly looked up. "You're saying that the Ley Pillar here is already …"
"You accept it quite quickly …" Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He thought that it would take a lot of persuasion to make Esvan accept this fantasy reality.
After all, Bai Xiaowen in the Wisdom Tree House had also combined the images of the prophecy tablet and the ancient books to determine this conclusion. When the conclusion was just reached, Bai Xiaowen still doubted himself for a while … Then he proposed to come here to verify his idea.
Li Shuyi said, "Look at the mess here. It's like a world war. The Ley Pillar must be broken."
Esvan murmured, "Could it be … the Ley Pillar broke, causing the Ley Corridor to collapse, and then … the Amusha Forest had an earthquake?"
"Correct. This was originally a super-large Ley Corridor, but because of the earthquake and the collapse of large stalactites, the underground space was divided into many small areas … Our current location is definitely the edge of the Ley Corridor. We have to go to the center. "Bai Xiaowen sighed and said.
"Go to the center … to do what?" Esvan couldn't think for a moment.
Bai Xiaowen tilted his head and glanced at him. "Of course, to find the original location of the broken Ley Pillar. Don't tell me you think that with what you've seen so far, the countries on the continent will believe me? In the center, there will be more discoveries. "
Seeing that Esvan was silent, Bai Xiaowen directly moved forward. At the same time, he activated his spirit scan to find a gap between the scattered stalactites.
"Master Esvan, hurry up and keep up. Xiaowen never makes a mistake. "Li Shuyi's reminder made Esvan come back to his senses and quickly follow.
Passing through small gaps that were difficult to detect, the three of them were getting closer and closer to the core area of the collapsed Ley Corridor.
During this time, they also encountered some mutated beasts that had been infected by the Ley Corridor's energy, but most of them were corpses. The living beasts had become abnormally manic and would attack creatures of other races as soon as they saw them.
Bai Xiaowen used the excuse of "asking Esvan to teach Charlotte swordsmanship" as an excuse to let Esvan, the Master Swordsman, not do anything. Li Shuyi was the main attacking force. If they encountered more than two monsters, Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures would take the place of Li Shuyi, creating a one-on-one space for him to focus on learning swordsmanship.
Esvan didn't suspect anything and patiently taught Li Shuyi swordsmanship techniques, the most important of which was the Sword Chant technique.
However, Esvan also made it clear to Li Shuyi that she couldn't learn the true Elven Sword Chant technique because it involved the characteristics of the elves' race.
