Hao Ren did not know if they were the bane of the Plane of Dreams. The Plane of Dreams had been safe and sound for tens of thousands of years. Why did the Plane of Dreams get into trouble after Hao Ren's visit? Now, the sacred cavern in front of him might be destroyed.
Of course, the cavern itself might not have been destroyed, but the magical gate that could identify the Chosen Ones was destroyed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the magic circle on the ceiling of the cavern was not functioning normally. That was because a hole had been blasted through it …
Vivian and Lily both looked up at the top of the cavern. Lily was a well-read author. Her mind was filled with the plot of the story: the ancient cavern left by the immortals. When they ascended to heaven, they left a prohibition and a thousand-year prophecy in the cavern, waiting for a fated person to open the cavern and inherit their legacy. It was not a problem to follow the local worldview. But suddenly, a group of aliens fell from the sky and blew up the cavern... blew up... blew up...
"You see, it's better not to mix two different things together." Lily patted Hao Ren on the shoulder as a senior author. "How many myths would be destroyed if you let a group of aliens fall in the Middle Ages..."
Her tone was quite serious, but it would be better if her tail did not wag when she said that.
Hao Ren's eyebrows raised. "Why did I let them fall? If they really wanted to cause trouble, they should have looked for the little green men. I reckon that when the spaceship crashed, the magic circle here had already been shattered. It was only the stone of the cavern itself that held up for so long. The commotion when we were working was not as big as when the spaceship crashed. "
They huddled together and whispered to each other, afraid that others would hear them. Finally, Vivian looked up at Big Beardy and the rest. "I think... we can't hide this for long. They're not fools. They'll find out that the seal of the cave was broken by brute force if they look up a few more times."
Hao Ren shrugged helplessly. "We'll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, they were the ones who said the Chosen Ones were the ones who said the Goddess was awesome."
At this time, Big Beardy and the others had already noticed the broken magic circle and rock stratum on the top of the cavern. The four respectable and devout believers did not think too much about it. They put their hands together in front of their chest and silently chanted the name of the goddess. The young nun was still muttering to the others, "So this is the way to open the cavern. I'm afraid only the Chosen can blow up the right place..."
As it turned out, Hao Ren and the others really did not understand the way of thinking of these devout believers. Otherwise, he would have known that they were a bunch of people who would point to the Bible even if they saw aliens falling from the sky … How could the story of the goddess be wrong? Even if the style of the entire world is wrong, it's because your understanding of the Bible is wrong!
At this time, Gelton, the oldest of the group, was panting. The old man looked around and finally his eyes fell on the side of the pool. There were some broken slabs and fragments of unknown material. Obviously, they were not originally in the cavern. The old man was overjoyed. "This should be part of the church!"
Hao Ren looked up at the huge hole on the top of the cavern. The hole was huge, but it was obviously not big enough to swallow the entire island in the middle of the lake. So, the saying that the island and the church were swallowed by the maelstrom together was actually an exaggeration. The real situation should be this: when the maelstrom formed, it caused huge waves, and the collapse of the rock stratum at the bottom of the lake caused the foundation of the island to collapse. Finally, the entire island and the church sank into the water in the earthquake. The structure of the church was obviously weaker than a naturally formed island, so it fell off the island when the edge of the maelstrom was torn apart, and was swept into the cavern under the lake.
He asked the MDT to scan it with radar and found that his reasoning was basically correct.
Now, a large amount of lake water was still pouring down from the hole on the top of the cavern. The scale of the water column was unusually large. If not for the extraordinary people present, they would probably have cramps just by looking at the scene. In fact, Becky had been cramping. She was the only 'normal' person on the scene.
As the water column hung upside down, they could see things being washed down with the flow of water. There were broken boulders, silt, lake creatures, and man-made objects flashing by. Only a few of these things were washed to the edge of the pool. Most of them should have sunk to the bottom.
The Divine Sarcophagus probably could not float up.
"Only the church should have fallen into this cavern." Hao Ren came to Gelton and Ophra, playing his role as a 'wandering scholar', which was to say some well-known nonsense in a field that was completely useless. "I guess all the man-made facilities on the island couldn't withstand the tearing of the maelstrom, so the Divine Sarcophagus should have fallen in. We should look for it at the bottom of the lake."
Ophra looked at the terrible hole on the top of the cavern and said, "We must find a way to plug this hole. If it continues to expand … the consequences are unimaginable. I'm afraid the whole cavern will collapse. We won't survive even if we have great abilities."
"Plug? How? "Hao Ren looked at the hole in embarrassment." Let the people above throw some stones down to plug it? If we don't do it well, it might make the hole bigger. "
Ophra looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression and said, "… Your thinking is not like a normal magician's. Shouldn't you consider using water-molding or earth-molding magic to fill the hole at this time? "
Hao Ren suddenly felt awkward and said, "… I've been studying spatial magic for years, so I'm not familiar with other schools of magic. And to be honest, the hole is so big. Do you think ordinary magicians can solve this thing? "
"If we have enough time, manpower, and materials, it's not difficult to plug it in a few days. Or let Prince Hoffman do it himself. He should be able to do it." Ophra shook her head and said, "But it's too late. The second point is especially unrealistic."
"This place shouldn't collapse in a short time," Big Beardy suddenly said, but did not explain the real reason. "The Goddess will protect us."
"Find the Divine Sarcophagus before the cave collapses." Gelton came to the pool with the bishop's golden staff. "With my power, as long as I find the Divine Sarcophagus, even if the cave collapses, I can send the Divine Sarcophagus up in time."
As he said that, he stepped towards the pool. In front of him, the water seemed to retreat and open up a path. This silent phenomenon was different from conventional water magic. It should be the so-called "divine magic". Ophra also followed and said, "Let me help. I'm good at searching."
At this time, Big Beardy coughed softly, and Hao Ren immediately reacted and said, "We're not good at swimming. Let's go to the nearby caves and see the situation. Try to find something like an emergency passage. In case this cave collapses, we have a place to retreat."
Big Beardy also said, "We'll go with these mercenaries. This place is in the Holy Land. Maybe we can find something related to the sacred heritage."
Big Beardy did not hesitate to make up a lie.
"That's for the best. We should find a way out first." Ophra did not doubt him, but she still nodded to the old werewolf who had been with her all along. "Elson, you go with the mercenaries. You can take care of them. Me and His Excellency will be enough. Also, after you find the passage, don't go too deep. Come back and meet us. "
In the end, only Gelton and Ophra stayed in the big cave to search for the Divine Sarcophagus. The rest of the team was ready to go to the nearby caves.
Hao Ren knew that Big Beardy was going to lead them to the core of the sacred cavern. However, he felt a little troubled when he saw the old werewolf following silently at the back of the team. According to the holy edict three thousand years ago, only the popes, the chosen ascetics, and the chosen ones could go to the core of the cavern. Others were not allowed to know about it, let alone explore. Hao Ren did not know how Big Beardy was going to get rid of this tail later.
This underground world was unusually large. The big cavern was connected to seven or eight caves, and no one knew where they led to. Hao Ren and the others pretended to discuss. Finally, Big Beardy looked at the old werewolf and Gelton and Ophra in the distance. He solemnly said in front of the fork, "I'll pray to the Goddess and see which way to go."
Saying that, he bowed his head and muttered a few spells. Then he took out a small stick and threw it. "Well, this way."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He knew that the way Big Beardy pointed out with the stick must be the right way, but couldn't this uncle come up with a more reliable way?!
