Chapter 1211: Evil Shadow Seen in the Deep Cave
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Chuan had dinner with Vigadov and most of the camp members in the largest restaurant in the camp.
He had to once again admire the financial resources of the Federation Purists; all the food for him and Vigadov at the banquet was airlifted in from the central city.
The ingredients are extremely fresh and nutritious. Not only are they well-matched, but they are also specially prepared by hand. They are much better than those provided by the federal government to the visiting delegation.
At the banquet, the camp also had the active consciousness arrange a musical using simulation resources. Although it was only a shallow simulation and they could not contact each other, they could interact with each other through words, and it looked no different from real people.
From time to time, rhythmic applause could be heard in the banquet hall.
Although doing so required providing large amounts of high-energy nutrients to active consciousness, morale in the camp was visibly boosted.
Chen Chuan arrived at the arranged room, which was exquisitely decorated. The floor was covered with thick, precious carpets, the interior was decorated with elegant and high-end furniture, and in the corners there were intricately carved wine cabinets and art decorations.
The whole room is filled with a low-key yet unconcealable luxury, just like a noble's private residence.
After seeing this, he almost formed some stereotypes about the Federal Purists.
Sitting down on a classical chair with gorgeous carvings on the side, he clicked on the pass to the lower world, and detailed information about the content of this operation appeared on the light screen.
While on the train, Vigadov also told him about the relevant things, but many things are difficult to express clearly through words.
With this information, things became much clearer. It showed the exploration of the target over the past few years in a timeline, and there were also many photos and videos.
That place existed in a mine. In the early years, a federal mining company came here to mine. However, when they mined deep into the mine, they discovered a mountain palace left by the primitive people, which was initially suspected to be used for worship.
They dug up a large number of gold and silver utensils here, but for unknown reasons, a large number of miners died here. Faced with frequent unexplained accidents, the mining company, after internal evaluation, finally terminated all mining activities in the mine due to concerns about employee safety and operational risks.
Many expeditions were subsequently attracted here, and many of them were lost here. The Federation Purists noticed this place five years ago and suffered a tragic defeat.
After some investigation, it was discovered that this place was actually sealed off by the primitive people themselves, but for some reason, the cracks inside were not dealt with at the time.
After reading all the information, Chen Chuan looked at some of the internal patterns he had taken before, but unfortunately this part was not very complete. This might be because the internal danger was great, so there was no way to obtain complete and detailed information.
If that's the case, I'll just have to see it in person tomorrow.
After clicking on the boundary certificate, he went to rest first.
After resting in the camp for a night, at dawn the next day, Chen Chuan, Vigadov and others got in the car and drove along the road into the mountains. An hour later, they arrived in front of the mine.
Everyone got off the car and communicated with the guards here. Since there was nothing unusual, they planned to go in directly.
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly stopped.
Vigadov noticed it, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Chen Chuan's world now shows Chao Ming's perspective. Looking down from the latter's angle, one can find that the entire mine and the surrounding mountains look like a person lying on his side.
Looking from the edge, one can see some traces of human excavation, and the location of the mine is exactly at the heart of the person lying on his side.
He clicked on the netherworld certificate to transmit this image to everyone, "Has this been discovered before?"
Vigadov and others were all shocked when they saw it.
They have taken photos with some modified creatures before, but they didn’t look like this.
Chen Chuan nodded. It was indeed not like this before. He had seen the earlier photos last night. The mountain was covered with a large number of plants, but now the plants seemed to have been cleared away. Coupled with the reasons of light and angle, this situation was presented.
However, this is not necessarily a coincidence. The early people chose to open up a rift here, which must have been for some special reason.
At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and the sand from the wasteland blew over. He looked again in the direction of Chao Ming's vision, but found that under the cover of the dust, at a certain moment, the figure seemed to have suddenly turned over like a sleeping person, and actually appeared to be rolling to the other side.
He retracted his gaze, looked towards the entrance, and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
Vigadov said, "Mr. Chen, follow me."
He walked in front and said as he walked: "The original pothole was a little smaller than this, so we enlarged it.
After inspection, we found that there were many rituals here originally, but many of them were destroyed during mining. We tried to have people repair it, but we found that we had never seen such ritual materials before, and it was difficult to patch the new rituals with the original rituals, so we simply re-arranged two layers of rituals inside and outside.
It seems to be somewhat useful at the moment, the thing inside has never come out in the past few years..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of quick footsteps, as if someone was breaking into the mine.
He couldn't help but ask the guard on the side: "Is there anyone in there?" The guard was startled and replied: "No, Mr. Vigadov, we have received orders not to go in."
Vigadov asked, "What about those footsteps just now? Who is in there?"
The garrison officer was a little surprised. He looked inside and asked in confusion, "Were there any footsteps just now? I didn't hear any."
He looked at the people around him, looked at each other, and then looked at Vigadov with a questioning look, because they didn't hear it either.
Vigadov was also stunned when he saw it. Was it his illusion?
Chen Chuan said at this time: "No, there was a sound, I heard it too." He looked deep into the mine and said, "Let's keep going."
Vigadov nodded heavily, called out, led the way, and everyone followed.
The first section was easy to walk on. They had walked this road countless times over the years. There were lights on both sides and electric wires leading outside. There were almost no obstacles on the one-kilometer-long road.
Until you come to a shaft that drops straight down.
Vigadov said, "Go down from here and go deeper. You will find a section of the original mining road that has never been widened. Mr. Chen, I will go with you." He then looked at the others and said, "You stay here to provide support."
He and Chen Chuan were the only fighters at the scene, and anyone else going in would only be a hindrance, so it would be enough for them to stay here and make some defensive arrangements.
Everyone agreed and reminded them to be careful.
Vigadov nodded, pulled the lever, and the lifting platform carrying two people slowly sank amid a series of noose and harsh metal friction sounds.
After sinking more than twenty meters, we reached the bottom.
There was no light at all, it was almost pitch black, but as two fighters, this didn't affect them much. Chen Chuan pointed his finger, and a spiritual light floated forward, illuminating the front in an instant.
Vigadov showed his admiration. As a fighter, how could he not understand the value of this approach? It required extremely high skills and the ability to control spiritual fire.
This seemingly tiny spiritual light and fire could explode with enormous energy if handled carelessly. He believed that he could not do that.
While sighing, he did not forget to open the box he was carrying with him, and released some combat creatures and modified flying insects from it, which flew in.
Chen Chuan and Vigadov waited for a while and walked in. After about dozens of meters, they saw some remains of the modified creatures that had flown in before.
The further you go in, the more there are. There are some almost every few steps. There should be some left over from before. It seems that they have tried this method many times in the past few years.
Chen Chuan took a few glances and found that there was no damage on the appearance of these modified creatures. They must have been affected by some kind of spiritual field.
Vigadov said, "Mr. Chen, they are not far ahead." He looked down and said, "Those modified organisms are our new improvements. It seems that they are still unable to adapt to the environment here."
After walking another two hundred meters, they saw a lot of collapsed stones and statues in the passage, and when they got here, Chen Chuan actually saw vague phantoms of people in his eyes.
They were all dressed like the primitive people and seemed to be bowing down to worship something.
These figures are blurry and not very clear, but one can see that there are people in gorgeous clothes standing in the middle, and it seems that some ceremony is being held.
This situation continued for a while, and suddenly a kneeling person rushed forward, and then the man in gorgeous clothes suddenly fell down, and the scene was in chaos.
It looked like someone had been assassinated.
Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly. It should be that the field and spirit of the people who passed by merged with the cracks here, which made this scene recorded.
However, it was also because his spiritual power was too strong that he was able to recognize this scene. In Vigadov's case, he could only feel a little spiritual fragmentation and could not see these at all.
Vigadov then warned, "Mr. Chen, if you go any further, you will see him."
The two turned a corner and came across a large pit. The ground was covered with broken stone sculptures and bone remains. At the same time, a dazzling light shone on the two of them. Less than 20 meters away from them, a crack like a door appeared, and light shone through it.
At this moment, they saw a figure standing there with his back to them, and he did not move even when they walked over.
Chen Chuan stared at it intently. The man seemed to be just a hollow silhouette. Although he could see him, his mind could not feel anything.
When Vigadov saw this man, he couldn't help but shout, "As!" and then couldn't help but walk forward.
