Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 427: The Relics of Eternal Night (Part 2)
The expedition team that had luckily escaped from a large number of strange enemies did not dare to land on the ground to rest at night. They relied on the remaining gas fuel of the airship to fly north all the way to the edge of the frozen sea in the frozen land.
The Eye of Illusion handed the canned food heated by the portable stove to the last surviving refugee guide, and asked in a deep voice: "In order to prevent those strange enemies from being led to the vicinity of the snow mountain camp... We may not return from the original route, but we will not abandon you. After completing the exploration mission, return to the Spark City at the foot of the Divine Ridge Mountain with us, right?"
The young guide took the food in silence, nodded and said in a muffled voice: "If the powerful wizards... can't easily defeat those weirdos, and our settlements can't resist at all, I... I am willing to follow the adults back to your city. The magical weapon that can shoot the skinned monsters... can also let me avenge my people and brothers!"
Among the four refugees sent by Elder Uli to guide the exploration team this time, one of them died in the battle was his blood brother.
Duncan leaned against the observation window of the pod, pointed to the open area that suddenly appeared in the north direction, and said in surprise: "Is that the ice sea in the permafrost zone?"
Everyone looked into the distance together, and then they realized that the airship was about to sail out of the endless wasteland and dense forest without realizing it, and not far ahead was a barren land with almost no grass, like a vast white desert.
The guide nodded and said, "Yes, there is an ice sea ahead. Although it looks like a vast and boundless snowfield, it is actually an underground sea covered by a layer of ice more than ten meters thick. When we fly deeper... we can also see the sea spring mouth. The sea water will break through the ice layer and spray out of the ground, forming a huge ice cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters."
The astrologer, who had recovered a lot, frowned and reminded, "Teacher, the gas fuel of the airship is running low. If we can't find the remains of the Kingdom of Eternal Night, we must choose a suitable temporary base and set up a magic network teleportation array to demand supplies from Spark City."
Michelle and Blake, who were more seriously injured, also needed to get more magic potions to ensure that their injuries would not continue to worsen on the way back. As long as they insisted on returning to Spark City, they would naturally be healed quickly under the joint treatment of the medical alchemy beast and the Academy of Magic Science.
"Three days...Fly for another three days into the deep sea of ice. The remaining fuel we carry is enough to support five days of continuous flight. We don't need to land on the ground to save fuel at night."
Although the ice sea is endless, the advantage is that the view is unobstructed without any ground cover. Those skinned monsters who have been following them all the way can't hide in the dark and attack them again.
...
There are no reference markers when flying over the ice sea. The exploration team must always arrange people to take turns to control the flight direction and repeatedly check the north direction indicated by the compass.
It was not until the afternoon of the third day that White, who was responsible for observation and guard duty, vaguely saw the strange terrain bulge that was obviously protruding above the ice layer in the distance ahead.
"Mr. Duncan! Look!" White pointed to the pile of white rocks protruding from the ice several miles away, "Isn't that a sea swell? We can choose a flat area with higher terrain there and set up a temporary base for the teleportation array!"
When everyone controlled the airship to fly closer patiently, they found that it was not a sea swell at all... but a huge sinkhole several times larger than the sea swell ice cave, like a huge sinkhole left after a volcanic eruption.
The seawater at the bottom of the pit was surging, constantly hitting the circular cave walls around it. The almost dark black seawater could not be seen to the bottom at all. It felt extremely creepy to look down from the sky.
The airship carefully adjusted its direction and found a flat terrain to slowly land. Duncan also walked out of the pod with the members of the expedition team and came to the edge of the sinkhole for close observation.
"This... this is definitely not the mouth of the sea." The young guide shook his head like a rattle and explained to others, "The appearance of the mouth of the sea means that there are hot springs at the bottom of the ice sea in this area. The high temperature of the seawater that erupts can melt the thick ice layer..."
But the huge pit in front of them with a diameter of several miles in diameter obviously could not be melted by the seabed hot springs alone. It is more like a natural collapse after a strong and terrifying earthquake disaster.
Duncan looked at the deep and surging sea water under his feet, pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Let's set up a teleportation array here... After all, the terrain around the pit is higher, which is also convenient for us to observe and guard the traces of the enemies around."
Under his command, everyone hurriedly took out the teleportation array devices in the airship pod one by one, set up the temporary camp tent, and then began to complete the construction of the magic network teleportation array in the largest wide-top tent.
After a busy day until the evening, the giant pit suddenly heard a regular sound of the sea tide. Everyone hurried to the edge of the pit to check and found that the sea water in the pit had stopped churning and slowly showed the phenomenon of ebb tide.
"It's really strange that this underground ice sea actually has normal tides, and the whole sea level is dropping so strangely." The Eye of Illusion looked down and couldn't help but marvel.
Only in this deep wilderness far away from the southern border and rarely visited by people can they see strange scenes that they will never see in their lifetime, which is worth the hard and thrilling journey.
But gradually, everyone found that something was wrong at the bottom of the pit - as the tide receded faster and faster, a large area of rugged reefs slowly appeared at the bottom of the dark and deep cave. The shape of the reefs was unexpectedly regular, like a stone pillar polished by a craftsman.
"That's not a reef!" Duncan looked down intently, "The stone pillars exposed at the bottom of the pit are obviously man-made... It seems... It seems to be the base of a high tower!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Eye of Illusion and the Astrologer trembled together, and said in disbelief: "Could it be... Could this be the ruins of the legendary City of Eternal Night?"
No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!
But this... Wasn't the ruins destroyed by the invasion of the demons? How could it sink into the frozen sea?
Wait! Mr. Asdaren once mentioned that the City of Eternal Night first experienced an unstoppable natural disaster, and then the demons took advantage of the opportunity to invade, and finally it was completely destroyed.
But Mr. Asdaren, as a "lowly status" of a mixed-blood, had always lived on the edge of the City of Eternal Night. When the disaster occurred, he strangely received the news in advance and fled the area in advance under the arrangement of his relatives.
This may mean that this disaster was not natural at all... but man-made!
This so-called natural disaster... is the entire city sinking into the sea overnight?
