  Chapter 421: Tens Of Thousand Meters Underground

  Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

  In the blink of an eye, it was nighttime. Bei Feng’s group and the other Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts departed together for the Locking Dragon Well.

  The location of the Locking Dragon Well had already been cordoned off by large numbers of police officers long ago, and all the civilians had been ushered out of the area.

  The entire group of around 100 people arrived in a grandiose manner. A long line of cars stopped not far from the Locking Dragon Well.

  This time, apart from Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, the large families had also sent out plenty of Xiantian experts to seek their own good fortune inside.

  It was impossible to see the bottom from the top of the pitch-black well mouth. Although the place was not in a very remote area, there was a very gloomy and strange atmosphere about it.

  Every direction was guarded by special elite force soldiers, armed and geared to the teeth. The large families also left a few Xiantian Lords at the top to guard against any unexpected situations.

  The 12 Kunlun Devils were the first to jump into the well, disappearing from view. Bei Feng also did not fear, directly bringing Mystic One and the rest to enter.

  “Hu, hu!”

  It wasn’t clear where the water in the well had disappeared to, nor how deep the well was. Bei Feng’s robes fluttered noisily as he dropped at a great speed.

  For a man-made well, it was hard to imagine how it was so deep. And the further they dropped, the wider the space became!

  Bei Feng was more willing to believe that this was a hole that already existed, and it’d only been used by later generations who found it.

  It was unknown how many years the two metal chains had been there for, but apart from the rusty section above the well, the further down they went, the more the lower sections of the chains appeared shiny and new.

  “We wouldn’t directly drop through to the heart of the Earth, right?” Bai Xiang mumbled.

  It took several minutes of free-falling before Bei Feng’s group landed at the bottom. At this time, the hole had widened to at least 10 li!

  The 12 Kunlun Devils were the first to land. They were dressed in black and the entire group did not make any noise as they hid in the darkness.

  The entire underground space was pitch-black to a point where it was impossible to see one’s fingers even if they stretched their hands out before their faces. But Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were all capable of projecting their mental power out of their body. The only thing was that the distance the mental power they could reach differed.

  At the very least, there wouldn’t be a situation where they couldn’t see the path before them. As for the Xiantian Lords that followed behind them, they could only depend on their own luck.

  Bei Feng himself was very interested to find out how those Xiantian cultivators intended to get back to the surface after coming down here. After all, most Xiantian cultivators with the exception of himself could not fly!

  “Sou, sou!”

  Numerous Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts arrived one after another, and when the last person landed, the whole group left together.

  Within the underground space, there were three smaller passageways, each one leading to an unknown location.

  The 12 Kunlun Devils seemed to already know what they were doing and all headed towards one of the passageways.

  The group’s speed was extremely quick. Without any exaggerations, if they traveled at the speed of sound, the group could easily sustain that speed for one or two months!

  Of course, with more people in the group, the faster the group’s energy would be expended. But right now, the speed of sound had become the benchmark for the group.

  No one knew how long the chains were, but they seemed to stretch endlessly, without limit. It was really a wonder how these chains were produced.

  This passageway was still winding downwards, which meant that the group was still going further down, deeper into the earth!

  According to legends, there was a whirlpool at the bottom of the well which led to the ocean. From the looks of it, this was not exactly some baseless rumor. The tunnel was very damp, and droplets of water constantly dripped from the roof of the tunnel.

  ‘This place was originally filled with water, but it’d all disappeared for some reason,’ Bei Feng thought silently. However, he wasn’t worried at all in his heart. The fact Controlled Dan cultivators were called Heavenly Experts naturally meant their means were not something that ordinary humans were capable of!

  Even if the water that had disappeared from the tunnel came back, Bei Feng and the rest could easily use their Zhenqi to carve out a space around their body, allowing them to breathe underwater!

  “Boom!”

  A tremor spread over from the front and rocks rained down from the roof of the tunnel. Some of them were huge boulders over several thousand or ten thousand jin heavy.

  “Peng!”

  Before the rocks could go near the group, they were completely shattered by the defensive barrier around the Controlled Dan cultivators.

  One of the 12 Kunlun Devils in front who had been keeping quiet all the way finally spoke, “The path in front is blocked.”

  This tunnel was over a hundred meter wide, but the path has been completely blocked by the collapsing rocks. If it was any other people, they might have turned back. But quite obviously, this group was different.

  This group was simply a super-version of human excavating machines. Even though the boulders blocking their path were several tons or several dozen tons heavy, they could not block the advance of the group!

  “Sou!”

  “Peng!”

  Several Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts directly flew to the top of the tunnel and used their hands to grab the boulders at the top, flinging them to the back. The shockingly heavy rocks were easily thrown hundreds to a thousand meters away, smashing heavily into the ground!

  This section of the tunnel took the group an entire two days to pass through. An extremely long section of the tunnel had collapsed.

  After that, the group arrived before a huge underground waterfall.

  This was a miracle of nature. An underground river flowed past the area, but due to a fault in the ground, this gap had been formed.

  It wasn’t that the country had not investigated this well before. But the well seemed to be like a bottomless hole, completely swallowing every troop that went in.

  “That’s the end of the path.”

  The crowd looked at the huge underground waterfall. The walls ahead and around them were made of incomparably tough stones, and the only exit was the river that led to an unknown destination.

  “No, the path is under this waterfall!”

  For the sake of this mission, everyone had prepared for an extremely long time and looked through countless ancient books and records. The Martial Practitioners Control Department created by the 12 Kunlun Devils had even scoured through the records left behind in the various countries throughout the world.

  The group jumped into the freezing pool created by the waterfall without any hesitation. The moment they jumped, a two-meter-wide protective barrier appeared around them, preventing a single drop of water from flowing in.

  It was a downward sink all the way until they reached the bottom of the pool. This pool was over a thousand zhang deep, and the temperature was below freezing point. The powerful water pressure caused even some of the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts to furrow their brows.

  Under such conditions, the expenditure on their energy was also very fast.

  At the bottom of the cold pool was a passage that was only about two meters wide. When the group approached the passage, a figure suddenly appeared, shooting a strong electric bolt which lit up the pool!

  The sudden attack was not enough to cause the group to panic. When the electric bolt neared the group, one of the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts stepped out unhurriedly and used his finger as a sword, stabbing out sharply!

  “Peng!”

  “Gloop, gloop!”

  A huge freshwater electric eel was instantly sliced into two pieces, and a bout of air bubbles floated to the surface.

  This was a flat eel, with hundreds to thousands of volts of electricity in its body. Normal people would only have the path of death left to them if they met this fellow in the water. But to these Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, it was not an opponent at all.

  This electric eel was obviously not normal, and was a creature that had mutated. Its blood and flesh was definitely not bad for cultivators. But right now, not a single person paid any attention to it, and they directly entered the passage.

  “Splash!”

  A human figure suddenly appeared above the underground lake. Following that, several Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts appeared out of the water as well.

  ‘Such a deep underground cavern. If this place collapsed, even I’d find it difficult to survive.’

  Bei Feng furrowed his brows. This place was at least several ten thousand meters underground. Once it collapsed, that would truly be what was meant by, ‘there is no road to Heaven and no door into the Earth’!
