That's right, even if they were going in a circle, because the circle was too large and the amount of downward movement was so small that it was negligible, no one would be able to sense anything abnormal.
Because of that, even if they had gone down for more than three thousand kilometers, the true depth was only three thousand meters and nothing more.
If Li Yunmu hadn't known about it, then he would probably have followed in the footsteps of Ya Yan and the others and become more and more desperate. But since the system had already deduced the coordinates of their final destination, then there was nothing else to say.
What else was there to say? Dig, directly dig. The whole process only required a slight adjustment of the direction. Now that Big Black had advanced to the level of a sacred-blood great flux beast, it would not be difficult for him to dig.
Although digging three thousand meters wasn't as easy as flipping one's hand, it was as easy as flipping one's hand.
The entire process took only three hours, and the secret path leading to the depths of the underground cave was quickly opened.
"Let's go and take a look." Li Yunmu took a deep breath.
After reaching this stage, he couldn't retreat. Not to mention that Ya Yan and the others had repeatedly probed the cave, so they were certain that the danger of the cave wasn't directed at humans.
Li Yunmu led the shadows and jumped into the tunnel dug out by the beetles one by one.
Finally, before long, they reached a serene place. It was completely dark all around, so dark that they couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. But after Li Yunmu released several dozen starlight bugs, the surroundings gradually brightened up.
The starlight bugs were clearly the most popular type of living beings in the Origin World. They were only the size of a fist, and once they reached a pitch-black area, their translucent bodies would automatically emit blue starlight.
Normally, people living in the deepest parts of the Origin World only needed to use a glass lamp to cover one of these starlight bugs, and it would illuminate the entire room.
Li Yunmu released thirty of them in one go, and the originally pitch-black area was instantly illuminated by the thirty freely flying starlight bugs.
Li Yunmu wasn't worried that they would fly away on their own. It has to be known that the starlight bugs he had purchased weren't the wild starlight bugs used by the slaves and commoners.
What he had purchased was a custom-made nest for adventurers. Each nest contained no less than a hundred starlight insects. As long as Li Yunmu controlled the nest, the starlight insects wouldn't abandon their homes and leave.
"Still not enough!" What surprised him was that the place that the Burrowing Beetles had dug was much wider than he had imagined. The thirty Starlight Beetles could only illuminate half of the place.
Li Yunmu released the remaining seventy starlight insects. This time, the depths of the underground cave were illuminated by a large number of starlight insects.
When he saw the situation of this place clearly, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This place seemed to be a huge underground graveyard. It was so quiet that it made one's hair stand on end. The area it covered was the size of ten football fields and it was almost thirty meters tall.
Suddenly, Li Yunmu discovered that not far away from him, there were rows upon rows of stone statues of monsters. When he looked around, he discovered that there were thousands of them in all shapes and sizes.
They seemed to be of different shapes and sizes, and were lined up neatly. At the same time, they seemed to be guards, clad in battle armor, holding weapons in their hands, and wearing cloaks on their backs, guarding everything in this underground tomb.
His expression was fierce and dignified.
"System, scan them," Li Yunmu commanded.
[Already scanned. No signs of life have been detected. Nothing suspicious has been detected,] the system quickly replied.
"So, you're sure that these statues are dead?"
[Yes,] the system replied.
This reply allowed Li Yunmu to breathe a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was a coward, but that the pressure placed on him by the thousands of monstrous guards was too great.
Even if they were dead and were made of stone, Li Yunmu could still sense an intense threat coming from their bodies.
Li Yunmu even suspected that the presence coming from the commanders of the monstrous guards had already reached the sage flux expert level of the Origin World.
The intense threat coming from them made Li Yunmu feel as if he was going to explode. Fortunately … they were all dead. Only after he was certain that they wouldn't revive after transforming into stone statues did the restless feeling slowly subside.
Only then did Li Yunmu's attention return to him. He began to size up the thousands of monstrous guards guarding the statue on the throne.
Without question, the statue sitting on the throne was a human. He wore a crown, a nine dragon robe, and a pair of dragon cloud boots. He held a large pearl in his hand, and his gaze was overlooking the thousands of guards below him. He was like an ancient emperor, filled with dignity and authority.
Who exactly is he? Could he be the previous master of this island? Li Yunmu silently observed the human statue from below.
But Li Yun, who was at his side, silently transmitted a message to him, and the answer surprised him.
Surprisingly, he wasn't the inheritor of the island?
Then the question was, since he wasn't the master of the island, why would he appear on it? But this wasn't important for the time being. The most important thing was the system's notification. [Host, very pure space elements have been discovered. A large amount of pure space elements …]
Li Yunmu was startled and promptly asked, "Where is it?"
But the system's reply quickly made his gaze fall on the human emperor's statue. More accurately speaking, his gaze fell on the enormous pearl in his hand.
At this moment, this Spirit Pearl seemed to be affected by the system's special detection mechanism. Suddenly, this huge Spirit Pearl lit up with layer after layer of beautiful halos.
"That's it." Li Yunmu excitedly looked at the pearl.
It hadn't been easy. After descending to the Origin World for so long, this was the first time he had come into contact with space elements.
This discovery had an extremely important meaning.
It meant that it wasn't that the Origin World didn't have space elements, but that it hadn't been discovered yet. Without thinking about it, Li Yunmu immediately signaled to Li Tian standing at his side.
"Go, bring it back."
Li Tian complied and quickly approached the human statue on the throne. The closer he got, the more he held his breath. He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
He was probing, probing to see whether the monstrous guards in the underground tomb were truly inanimate objects like the system had said.
His sixth sense seemed to have discovered Li Tian. The closer he got to the human statue, the more the eyes of the thousands of monstrous guards seemed to slowly turn toward him.
