I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 81 Underground Stone Gate
Without much hesitation, Xia Yuan made up his mind.

Now that we have made a discovery, there is no reason not to go and see it.

If there's nothing underneath, it won't take long.

As for the two or three meters of soil above, it was not a problem at all for Xia Yuan. His hands were much more useful than most tools.

In fact, after seeing human bones here, Xia Yuan felt that there was probably something underneath.

And it is very likely a tomb.

If there really are some clues to the mythological era down there, it would be a shame to miss them.

After deciding to go down and take a look, he no longer hesitated, put down his luggage and started digging with his hands.

The surface soil is relatively moist, so it is not difficult to dig.

It was not until two meters underground that the moisture content of the soil decreased and the difficulty of excavation increased slightly.

Well, just a little bit.

Xia Yuan didn't even feel any difference, and he didn't stop digging down at all.

In front of 8 o'clock's body, the soil underneath is probably only slightly harder than paper to him.

After nearly an hour, the hole detected by mental power finally appeared in sight.

Compared to the half-meter diameter pit he had just dug, the hole below was obviously much smaller and could only accommodate one person.

Those few tattered pieces of bones were just below the cave entrance, blocking half of the downward passage.

Xia Yuan moved these one by one to the outside of the cave, looked down, and saw that it was bottomless inside.

Moreover, the passage leading downwards was not a straight line, and he could only see the corners.

If you want to know what's going on deeper, you have to go down and explore it yourself.

Looking at the white bones around him, Xia Yuan was a little confused.

How did these people die here?
Is there some danger below, or are they both injured in a fight with the previous group?
Unfortunately, the bones have been rotted beyond recognition and no useful clues can be found from them.

There were no signs of injury on the only relatively intact skull.

This made it difficult for Xia Yuan to guess whether there was any danger below.

But he did not retreat. With his current physical strength, even if there was danger below, it would surely not hurt him.

Unless there is also a supernatural power here that transcends the mundane.

But this would be exactly what he wanted. Wasn't his purpose to find some traces of the existence of these supernatural powers?

It must be just a relic, and as long as he is careful, nothing serious will happen.

Even if there is real danger, he still has 4.97 source points to use in an emergency.

Oh, no, it's 5.04 now.

After adding all these source points, the strength that can be improved is a considerable amount.

If he hadn't been worried about the rapid increase leading to a surge in food demand, he would have added more directly.

Before setting off, I thought the two boxes of food I had could last for four or five days. After upgrading to level 8, I estimated that they would be gone in three days.

After the physical body is upgraded to level 10, it will most likely not last for two days.

Of course, this is based on the premise that physical energy is consumed quickly. If you just want to maintain your life, these compressed foods can last for a long time.

Seeing that he could not find any useful information above, Xia Yuan did not hesitate any longer and went straight into the cave with his luggage.

The entire entrance was sloped, not too steep. With the help of the resistance of the surrounding soil, he slowly slid down.

In order to avoid danger, he was in a tense state, and his mental power was always observing the surrounding environment.

Because he was carrying luggage and the passage was narrow, Xia Yuan was not moving very fast.

Along the way, we had to clear the mud in the passage, otherwise people would not be able to pass through.

At the bends, brute force was even required to widen the passage, which greatly increased the workload and consumed physical strength. After turning down two bends in a row, the entire environment was plunged into darkness.

On the way, while he was not widening the passage, his mental power was also constantly detecting the environment in the surrounding walls, but he found nothing.

We continued to go down like this, and soon an hour passed. However, the speed was not as expected. It was estimated that the vertical distance we went down was only thirty meters at most.

Since there was no discovery along the way and the progress was very slow, Xia Yuan couldn't help but become impatient.

In order to speed up his progress, he began to increase his strength to clear the way, and even used his body to directly knock open the road.

As a result, the entire passage was suddenly filled with flying dirt and rock debris, but the speed of travel was much faster.

We continued to walk down for another half an hour.

Suddenly, the spirit detected that there was no more corner in the passage, and if he continued walking, he would reach the end of the road.

Even after passing the last corner, Xia Yuan had already seen the scene ahead.

I originally thought that the passage was completely blocked, but I didn't expect that I had reached the end of the passage.

Xia Yuan frowned.

Is it possible that there is nothing at the end of this road?

He was unwilling to give up. He had come so far. Even if the road ended, he would dig a little further.

After walking a few more meters forward, another scene began to appear in my mind.

Xia Yuan stopped suddenly.

Yes, this is indeed the end of the road, but there is not nothing behind this wall.

At this moment, a gate made of stone appeared in his mind.

It looks like it might be the entrance to an underground palace, but the range of spiritual detection is limited and cannot show the full picture, so it is not certain whether it is a tomb or other building.

In order to see the whole picture clearly, he began to walk forward faster.

After reaching the end of the passage, the entire stone wall still could not be detected.

The reason is that the wall is quite thick, estimated to be about four or five meters.

Moreover, according to these traces, it is very likely that this place was blocked artificially, and it is very likely done by the group of people who were at the intersection before.

If he didn't have the help of his mental power, he would most likely have returned along the same route after reaching this point.

No one could have imagined that there would be a whole new world behind the four or five meter wide wall.

I have to say, mental power is really useful.

From the time he awakened until now, it has helped him more than his physical body.

Now that he has lost his spiritual perception, Xia Yuan will definitely not be able to adapt.

In order to see the scene on the other side of the wall as soon as possible, he couldn't wait to start destroying the wall.

When there was only the last meter left, Xia Yuan stopped digging with his hands and started smashing it directly.

Every time it's swung with full force, the power is probably comparable to that of a small bomb.

Under his continuous attacks, the wall gradually began to shake.

Finally, when Xia Yuan kicked out for the last time, the entire wall collapsed.

The scene on the other side of the passage also appeared in his sight.

After taking a few steps, the vision suddenly became wider, and the areas that were previously out of reach of the mind were now within sight.

A stone gate eight meters high and about five meters wide stands in front.

"Oh my goodness, there are actually buildings in this place. This trip was worth it."
