Chapter 158: The Burrow(2/2)
The opening on it is already as small as the mouth of a cup, and the dark and narrow environment looks very depressing.
Only the light from the magic equipment illuminates the surrounding area. Even with a dark mirror, you can't see what's underneath.
Not because it's dark, but because there's still so much depth down there.
When Li Xiu estimated that the depth was more than one thousand meters, he still didn't know the bottom.
"Something's wrong. The workers who came down before suddenly lost contact after about a hundred meters. This is more than a thousand meters. Why haven't you found anything? And you haven't felt a lack of oxygen?" Li Xiu was confused.
I want to find out even more.
When the depth exceeds 2,000 meters, the straight-cylindrical hole suddenly becomes wider, and a huge underground space appears.
Li Xiu glanced at the underground space and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
This underground space is probably as huge as a city, and the stone roof is hemispherically shaped like a sky.
In this huge underground space, there was a demon spirit crawling. The body of the demon spirit occupied almost half of the underground space. It was unimaginably huge. Li Xiu was not as good as an ant in front of it.
Its body is as crystal-like as jade, and every scale on its body is emitting fluorescence, but there is a thick layer of crystals wrapped around the demon spirit's body, which seems to seal it within the crystal.
"Is this... a unicorn?" Li Xiu saw that the demon spirit looked very similar to the unicorn in myths and legends.
It has a dragon head, a lion body, and a pony tail. The whole body is covered with crystal jade-like scales. There are crystal-like dragon horns on the top of its head. Its claws are also crystal-like jade. It looks scary and mysterious, but it also has some kind of unspeakable monster.
Beauty.
On the demon spirit, Li Xiu saw the corpses of two workers, who had fallen on the crystal that wrapped the demon spirit.
Strangely, their bodies were also wrapped in crystals.
"What kind of demon is this? Why is it here?" Li Xiu looked at the four underground spaces. In addition to the demon and the corpses of the workers, there was also a pool in the corner of the underground space.
Li Xiu looked at the water pool carefully and found that the water pool was unfathomable and emitted waves of cold air.
What made Li Xiu feel strange was that there was a plant growing in the center of the pool.
Even though Li Xiu was standing on the edge of the pool, the water was as clear as pure water, but he still couldn't see the bottom and didn't know how deep it was.
With Li Xiu's eyesight and the clarity of the water, he should have no problem seeing more than ten meters away.
In other words, this pool is still more than ten meters deep. If this plant can grow from below, it should be at least ten meters long.
The part exposed above the water looks like coral, with snow-white crystals exuding little bits of light.
The reason why Li Xiu thought it was not coral, but a plant, was because there were five small snow-white flowers blooming on the coral-like thing.
The petals are translucent and look like they are carved from the finest jade, but they exude a faint fragrance.
In the part that can be seen underwater, coral-like vines extend until they are no longer visible.
Li Xiu didn't know what it was, so he naturally didn't dare to move it. He didn't know if the crystals on the huge demon spirit were produced by the water pool or the plant.
After looking at it for a while, I still didn't understand what it was. I walked around in the underground space and found nothing else.
Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit carefully again, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
He found that there was an arrow nailed on the forehead of the unicorn-like demon spirit between his eyebrows.
About half of the arrow body is inserted, and the exposed arrow shaft and tail fin are carved like rubies.
This ruby arrow has no brilliance at all. It seems to be more of a work of art than a real arrow used for fighting.
But since it can penetrate the scales of demon spirits, it must not be an ordinary thing.
"Did the Lord of Hongsha City choose to build the city here just for this demon spirit? Or is it for the plants in the pool?" Li Xiu couldn't figure it out for a while.
After pondering for a moment, Li Xiu flew towards the entrance of the cave from which he came. He understood the level of this demon spirit and did not dare to attack it easily.
With such a huge size, even an ordinary S-class demon spirit must have terrifying power. If it goes crazy and collapses the underground space, it is not known whether it will affect the City of Light above.
Although there are more than 2,000 meters of rock layer between them, it should not have much impact, but no one can say for sure.
What's more, Li Xiu didn't think this was an ordinary S-class demon spirit. Although the fluorescence on its body was very dim, Li Xiu always felt that this guy was something special.
If this guy is super psychic and wants to fight, he will be in big trouble.
Li Xiu planned to go back first to get a mobile phone or something like that, take pictures of the demons and the plants in the pool, and show it to Official Ximen or Lao Dao, maybe they would know what it was.
