With Cheng Yu's consolation, everyone immediately felt that their emotions had stabilized. They felt that it wasn't a big deal.
However, as they continued walking down the stone steps, the strange sound kept echoing out. Furthermore, the deeper they went, the louder the sound became. Finally, everyone felt that the ground beneath their feet was trembling unceasingly.
"Look! That should be the end of the stone steps! " Everyone continued to walk down cautiously. They couldn't remember how long they had taken to walk down. They only felt that it had been a long time. Only until now did they see that the ground below them seemed to have reached flat ground.
When everyone walked down the stone steps and stepped onto the firm flat ground, they finally felt relieved. They felt that they were finally safe.
"We can no longer see the hole above us. I also don't know how far we have walked," Xinhai raised her head and looked around. The stone steps that they had been walking on continued upwards. Looking from afar, it seemed like these stone steps were suspended in mid-air.
"I hope we can find the exit here. However, it seems like it's very hard for there to be an exit here!" Xinluo sized up the place they were at.
Everyone also took out their Night Spirit Lamp to illuminate their surroundings, wishing to see what kind of place this was.
However, when they carefully observed their surroundings with their Night Spirit Lamp, everyone turned silent.
"We … seem to be at a dead end!" Xinluo sat on the ground, looking at the bottomless abyss around her as she spoke in a dispirited manner.
It turned out that after their investigation, they realized that the place they were currently at wasn't really flat ground. Instead, it was just a slightly larger protruding platform that was suspended below the cliff.
In front of them was a stone staircase leading upwards, and behind them was a cliff. On both sides of the cliff was a bottomless abyss. It was only because this raised platform was relatively wide, and it was pitch-black everywhere, that they had not noticed it before.
It was only until they used their Night Spirit Lamp to examine both sides did they realize that below their feet was still an abyss. And they were suspended above the cliff by themselves.
What made them even more desperate was that there was no path on the huge cliff in front of them to allow them to continue walking down.
"How could it be like this? The fact that these stone steps extend all the way down means that there should be a path down there. How could it be a dead end? "Xin Luo said in dissatisfaction.
"Our current situation seems to be a little troublesome. We can't fly out from above, and there's no other way out here. It's really difficult to get out!" Xin Luo knocked on the cliff but was unable to find any other way out. She spoke with some disappointment.
Boom!
But at that moment, the sound came from the abyss again. From where they were, it sounded like the place where the sound came from was much closer to them.
However, this kind of inexplicable sound only increased everyone's uneasiness. No one knew what was making this sound. However, everyone knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
Cheng Yu stood at the side of the protruding platform. He used the Night Spirit Mirror to shine down into the abyss. But unfortunately, the Night Spirit Mirror seemed to be unable to shine down that far.
Perhaps it was because the fog at the bottom of the abyss was too thick, or maybe it was because the bottom of the abyss was still very far away from their current position, so there was really no way to illuminate that far.
Since there was no way to illuminate the bottom, Cheng Yu shifted his gaze to the nearby cliff. If it was said that the top of the cliff was filled with man-made traces, then the bottom of the cliff was completely unable to see any man-made traces.
Seeing until here, Cheng Yu's brows wrinkled deeply. This was not a good discovery. If there were still man-made traces below, perhaps he would feel a little better. Because if that was the case, it meant that they were able to get out from here. At the very least, there was someone who had been here before.
But in this situation, all man-made traces seemed to have stopped after reaching here. This meant that there might not be anyone who had been here before. Even if there was, they might have died a long time ago.
It was obviously impossible for them to continue walking down from the cliff. Now, the only way out seemed to be on top of the cliff.
Just like everyone else, he walked up to the cliff and knocked here and there to listen. However, he was very disappointed. He was unable to discover any mysteries on the cliff!
"Junior Brother Yu, did you discover anything?" Xin He enquired.
"Nope!" Cheng Yu shook his head, replying helplessly.
"Truly hateful. If we were able to fly now, why would we be so sullen?" Xin Hai spoke gloomily.
In the past, when they were able to fly, there wasn't any place that could trap them. Even if it was a dangerous place, they could still traverse it as though it was flat ground.
But in this weird place, because they were unable to fly, they suddenly became somewhat unable to adapt to it. It seemed like after they were unable to fly, it was truly difficult for them to move even an inch.
"Junior Brother Yu, why do you think we are unable to fly after we climbed up the mountain? Is it because of the formation? "Xin He enquired.
"It should be so. There should be a powerful formation that restricts flying. When we were on the mountain, it was still fine. The formation didn't seem to be at its strongest. Therefore, our treasures were still able to fly.
But after we entered the mountain, everything here seemed to be unable to fly, including our treasures, "Cheng Yu pondered before replying.
"Junior Brother Yu, do you think there's such a possibility?" Xin He enquired.
"What possibility?"
"Regardless of us or our treasures, if we wish to fly, we would need to rely on spiritual Qi. But flying is Huo Yu's instinct. It doesn't need spiritual Qi to be able to fly. Do you think Huo Yu is able to fly in here? "Xin He speculated.
"I feel that even Huo Yu is unable to fly. Take a look at this first!" Cheng Yu shook his head. He bent down to pick up a stone before tossing it upwards.
Everyone's eyes widened immediately. After the stone was tossed out, it actually didn't fly upwards. Instead, it fell onto the ground.
"This …" Everyone couldn't believe their eyes. There was actually such a thing.
"If you still don't believe me, I will release Huo Yu out to test it out!" Thus, Cheng Yu released Huo Yu out.
When Huo Yu saw everyone, she seemed to be very excited as she cried out unceasingly. However, at this moment, everyone wasn't in a good mood. Cheng Yu conversed with her for a while. After that, he saw Huo Yu flapping her wings unceasingly.
However, everyone only saw Huo Yu flying up a few times. Every time, her legs would leap up, preparing to fly up. However, no matter what, she didn't manage to fly up. In the blink of an eye, she would return back to the ground.
After trying a few times, Huo Yu still didn't succeed. Thus, she cried out once again.
