Chapter 776 - 523: Scenery of Wantong (3)
"No difference at all, not a bit of surprise."
Upon hearing this, Chelina tilted her head, and Lisa seemed hesitant to speak.
Just as Lin Guang was about to say something, a soldier dressed in a sharp officer uniform had already hurriedly approached them.
He didn’t express any doubt about Lin Guang’s youthful appearance and the presence of the four girls, but he saluted Lin Guang with impeccably precise military etiquette.
"Sir, welcome to Wandong Province."
"Your mission, the Fifth Army is aware, please follow me."
Leading the group, he swiftly walked out of the Star Track transmission hall, proceeding along a bright and spacious corridor to a vast elevator that seemed ready at all times.
Ding.
The next moment, the doors of this elevator, large enough to fit an adult Dragon Beast, suddenly opened, revealing its interior.
The elevator’s walls were made of a single piece of completely transparent crystal, seamlessly integrated without any joining marks, allowing one to see the massive pipelines and facilities inside the grand elevator shaft.
Curiously, Vishdair extended a finger, tapping twice on the transparent wall with her knuckles, producing a crisp sound; the feel was solid and unlike glass, more akin to some sort of extremely hard metal.
Zumama curiously reached out and touched this Spiritual Material, her fingertips lightly flickering with brilliance: "Mirror Glaze?"
"Seems pretty hard."
Vishdair clicked her tongue: "But it’s just a freight elevator, is it necessary to use such high-quality materials?"
Lin Guang smiled slightly: "You’ll find out soon enough."
The officer swiped his authority card in the sensor area.
The next moment, the elevator doors silently closed.
Unlike ordinary elevators, a large light screen lit up inside this military elevator.
[Current Depth: -59870 meters]
[Current Area: Chengtian Vault · Geomantic Layer]
"Minus... minus sixty thousand meters?!"
Vishdair looked at the number, her amber cross pupils suddenly widening.
At this moment, she suddenly realized something.
The location of the Star Track transmission hall where they just landed...
Was not on the surface, but sixty kilometers underground.
Lin Guang explained: "Star Tracks aren’t necessarily laid in the sky. They can actually be underground too."
Chelina added: "It’s said that the geomantic network in Wandong Province is relatively more developed, so the construction and cities here differ somewhat from other provinces."
Lisa nodded: "Yes, yes!"
"How do you all know this?"
"I checked while packing my luggage; you were busy making bombs."
Just as the conversation ended, an announcement suddenly sounded inside the elevator cabin.
[According to requests, this ascent will commence at maximum speed. Please take note of protection.]
The next moment, a strong gravitational sensation hit the bodies of all five.
Like a building, the enormous elevator suddenly began to climb upwards at an astonishing speed that surprised the girls.
Lin Guang and his companions, including the officer, began to naturally radiate some brilliance from their bodies.
It was the power within everyone spontaneously adapting to the gravitational conditions of rapid ascent in this confined space.
—Ten meters per second.
—Fifty meters per second.
—A hundred meters per second!
After half a minute of acceleration, the elevator reached its maximum speed.
It ascended at more than half the speed of sound.
After completing the acceleration, the inner walls of the elevator shaft also became transparent.
Through the transparent Mirror Glaze wall, one could see layer upon layer of different colored rock layers swiftly receding past outside the elevator shaft.
Occasionally, one could spot multicolored Ethereal Crystals embedded within some rock layers, flashing by like reverse meteors.
Ascending a full five thousand meters.
Swoosh—
Suddenly, the scene outside the elevator opened up vast and clear.
"Wow!!!"
Lisa couldn’t help but open her mouth, her green-gold eyes reflecting the breathtaking spectacle outside.
This was an incredibly vast subterranean cavity.
Its dome was so high as to be out of sight, supporting the growth of countless giant mushrooms and mosses emitting various fluorescent colors, resembling a fantastical starry sky, dotted and flickering.
Below was a stretch of land filled with primordial vitality.
Clusters of luminous fungal plants like forests illuminated the void, casting silhouettes of insect and reptilian Spirit Beast shadows.
Unknown source underground rivers meandered among the rocks, their water not luminous, yet, due to colorful Ethereal Crystals in the riverbeds, appeared as flowing liquid rainbows.
Looking around, the numerous cavernous paths seemed to lead to similar underground worlds.
"The Ether concentration here..." Even the usually calm Chelina couldn’t help but speak up, "So high."
Lin Guang nodded: "The closer to the geomantic core, the higher the Ether concentration, even in such vast exposed environments, equivalent to a standard Intermediate training room."
"Look over there!"
Suddenly, Lisa pointed outside the window.
The group followed her direction, collectively exclaiming in awe.
Over thirty massive whale-like Giant Beasts were gently swimming above them, the smallest being only a dozen meters but with an average body length of about one hundred and fifty meters.
Their bodies appeared to be covered with coarse rock-like gray-black shells, seemingly heavy, yet they floated in the air, as if defying gravity.
The larger they were, the more rugged and thicker their shell appeared.
The leading one measured over five hundred meters in length, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.
Unquestionably, a Tier Six Beast King level presence.
