The passage was deep, with uneven stone walls on both sides.
It was very irregular.
Only the ground of the passage was leveled to make it convenient for vehicles to pass.
Confirming No. 8's words, it was indeed excavated by manpower.
"The passage didn't seem to be blown up?"
Tang Yu thought.
He walked in without hesitation, but secretly activated a few small props used for defense.
… …
Tap, tap, tap.
Baldy No. 8 walked at the front, followed by Tang Yu with a flashlight. Elaine and Sky walked on both sides of him, always on guard.
"How long did you dig the passage?" After walking for several minutes, Tang Yu finally couldn't help but ask.
No. 8 recalled, "… It's very, very long. We didn't measure the specific data, and Zheng Bo … Old Demon Zheng told us to dig as long as possible, so we dug forward regardless until we felt it was enough. Then we dug diagonally upward and looked for a place that could be used as an entrance and exit."
Tang Yu was speechless.
The passage didn't collapse. He didn't know if he should admire No. 8's luck or not.
After listening to their excavation process, Tang Yu felt cold walking here. He was afraid that the whole passage would collapse.
Only the scroll in his hand could give him a sense of security. "Fortunately, even if it really collapsed, at least it's safe."
Suddenly.
Tang Yu smelled a strange smell coming from the front, and his expression changed slightly.
"Something's wrong!"
The flashlight shone towards the front of the deep passage. Several ferocious-looking demonic beasts came into view.
Sensing the smell of humans, the demonic beasts quickly rushed over.
No. 8's eyes widened and cursed, "¥#% … How can there be demonic beasts in this place? Don't tell me he escaped from the material storage room?! "
He looked at Tang Yu and hurriedly explained, "It's really not my fault. I've been here so many times before, but I've never seen a demonic beast."
The demonic beasts that flew over were quickly beheaded by Sky.
However, these demonic beasts were surprisingly strong. One of them managed to dodge a fatal blow, forcing Kong to finish it with another sword strike.
It's rare.
Tang Yu didn't dare to underestimate it. He vaguely had a bold guess in his mind.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace. "Be careful, and try not to make too much noise."
After thinking about it, Tang Yu took out a bottle of spray containing the juice of the Devil Vine. The last time he learned about the function of this plant from the Ancestral Dragon warrior, he deliberately collected some.
Aiming the spray nozzle at himself, Tang Yu sprayed himself from head to toe. The silver-white armor became oily purple with a slightly choking smell.
He also sprayed his hair until it was black with a hint of purple. He felt that something was wrong.
Shaking his head, Tang Yu said he could tolerate this kind of small problem. It's not like he couldn't wash it off anyway.
Elaine and Kong were not pampered people. The two of them took the Devil's Vine juice spray and sprayed it on themselves to cover up the smell on their bodies.
It was just that it looked a little funny after being spray-painted.
After making the necessary preparations, the few of them continued along the tunnel.
As expected, they encountered several demonic beasts one after another. Their strength wasn't weak. In order to avoid making too much noise, several people attacked at the same time and quickly dealt with the demonic beasts.
One batch, two batches, three batches …
The tunnel wasn't short, and there were demonic beasts blocking them. After walking for nearly 30 minutes, according to the bald man who led the way, they were almost there.
Sure enough.
A little light finally appeared in front of them.
Tang Yu's spirit was lifted.
No. 8 also finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't see the Research Institute again, he was really afraid of being sacrificed on the spot.
… …
Tang Yu killed the demonic beast that pounced on him with two or three swords. He took a few steps forward, but he was stunned on the spot.
Not far in front of him was the exit of the tunnel.
The faint light came from the exit.
However, after the exit, it wasn't as heavily guarded as he imagined. It was like a secret research institute in a science fiction movie.
He couldn't see the Research Institute at all!
No. 8's eyes widened, and his mouth kept muttering, "This is impossible, this is not scientific."
Tang Yu walked to the edge of the exit, squatted down, and stroked the smooth incision on the edge.
This was not the original exit of the tunnel, but everything in the tunnel ahead had been 'swallowed' by some kind of mighty force.
At this time, he saw a huge hole in front of the exit, similar to a sinkhole, and the exit of the tunnel was located on the rock wall of the sinkhole.
Tang Yu looked up, above the hole, a faint red mist filled the air.
His face became a little ugly, the speculation in his heart finally became a reality.
"Where did you lure the demonic beasts from before? Was it not far from the Research Institute?" Tang Yu asked.
No. 8 came back to his senses and thought carefully, "At that time, we were planning to enter the mountain, but we ran into a lot of demonic beasts a few kilometers or ten kilometers away from the entrance. Then we changed our mind and attacked those demonic beasts. Later, we don't know why the demonic beasts gathered more and more, and even terrifying giants appeared."
He paused, his mouth opened wide, stiffly turned his head, and stammered, "That means … that the entire Research Institute was swallowed by the crack of the abyss?"
Tang Yu couldn't believe it.
Not long ago, the adjutant told him that the crack of the abyss could be born in a large shelter. Once it happened, the shelter could only rely on the city walls to resist the demonic wave. For shelters that focused on external defense, the disaster would be devastating.
However, Dr. Zheng's entire shelter was swallowed by the crack of the abyss!
Can you believe this probability?
Tang Yu didn't believe it at first, but the facts were in front of him. He had to believe it. On the cliff opposite the crack of the abyss, a passage could be vaguely seen. To confirm it, Tang Yu climbed to the ground with a hook lock and took a detour to the other side. However, at the end of the passage, it was straight to the ground.
… …
… …
After struggling for nearly an hour, Tang Yu stood on the edge of the crack of the abyss, his feet on the dark red ground.
Red mist filled the air above, and demonic beasts continued to climb up along the crack cliff below.
Tang Yu observed for a while. No matter what type of demonic beast, they seemed to be born with the ability to climb. Even in their humanoid form, their combat power in climbing state was not inferior to their standing state.
"The length of the Crack of the Abyss is more than 250 meters. If it weren't for the bald man and the others luring most of the demonic beasts into their territory, we wouldn't have been able to get close to the core area of the Crack of the Abyss."
Even if there was a steady flow of demonic beasts, compared to the previous hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts, it was not on the same level. With the strength of the three people at this time, it was enough to deal with them.
Not to mention the three giants. If they didn't step into the territory, it would be difficult to kill them.
Tang Yu deeply felt his own strength was insufficient.
"But since there's a crack of the abyss without demonic beasts, we can't let it go."
Not only was it relatively close to the territory, it was easy to induce a demonic wave. The crack of the abyss itself was equivalent to a large resource point.
As long as they could guard the crack and kill the demonic beasts that surged out.
Spirit power, spirit stones, and some precious parts and materials of the demonic beasts were inexhaustible.
The Lindong officials had a lot of spirit stones in their hands because they controlled a Crack of the Abyss. It was only a 150-meter Crack of the Abyss, but this one was at least 250-meter, and it might even reach 300-meter.
More demonic beasts were produced, and of course, more difficult to guard.
Tang Yu stood on the edge, looked at the bottomless crack a few times, shook his head, and retreated to the distance.
He circled around the crack a few times, observing the surrounding terrain.
Soon, a sub-territory fortress was built in a suitable location.
Not long after, a first-level city wall surrounded the entire crack of the abyss was built, surrounded by various defensive buildings.
"We don't have enough materials. For the time being, we can only do this. The ordinary demonic wave won't be a threat, but in case there's another demonic beast …"
