Chapter 3050 - 3051: Mirror Path
Chapter 3050: Chapter 3051: Mirror Path
Under the cooperation of the two, the Stone Gate was pushed open by more than a meter wide.
At the same time, a gust of cold air hit them, accompanied by a stench.
Cough, cough, cough—
Song Jinmin and Jiang Zhengnan both clutched their chests, coughing violently, showing signs of vomiting.
"You guys step back first."
Ace of Spades rushed forward, pulling the two men to her side, then took out a small metal box. Inside was a green ointment, exuding a strong medicinal odor.
"Quick, take a sniff."
"It shouldn’t be poison gas, just corpse scent, don’t worry," Song Jinmin said.
Upon hearing Song Jinmin say so, everyone’s gaze returned to the giant Stone Gate.
The age of this ruin is already very ancient.
Logically, it should be impossible for there to be corpses inside.
Even if there were, they would have long weathered away to powdery remains.
Shaking his head, Song Jinmin’s condition improved somewhat, as he looked at the Stone Gate and said,
"Something’s not right inside; it’s a bit cold."
For Song Jinmin to say such a thing, everyone realized the situation inside was more complex than they had imagined.
Otherwise, with the weather on Tilia Island, it would be unlikely for this to occur.
"Put on your masks, let’s go in and take a look."
Lin Jingzhan and Moon took the lead, walking in the front with two teams, advancing slowly.
The Flame Dragon’s people stood behind them.
In their hands were radiation detectors; if radiation appeared here again, they couldn’t proceed rashly.
A few minutes later, dozens entered the Stone Gate one after another.
Waves of cold seemed to penetrate the protective suits, bringing chills to everyone.
After entering, neither team advanced recklessly.
Because something unexpected appeared ahead.
Tens of searchlights shone over, revealing a surface akin to a mirror on the ground, extending dozens of meters like frozen ice blocks.
And beyond the Mirror Path was a winding cave.
No one knew what was hidden inside.
The Flame Dragon’s people tested it again, and there was no radiation.
"It’s relatively safe here," said Luyu Teahouse.
Lin Jingzhan nodded, squatted, and tapped on it, "The quality is good, should be able to walk over."
"Let me try," Song Jinmin stepped forward and said.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Yi’s voice interrupted Song Jinmin’s action, drawing everyone’s attention to him.
At this moment, Lin Yi was definitely not a transparent existence in the team; he had an important status.
His words were worth listening to.
"This doesn’t seem to be ice."
"Not ice?"
Lin Yi’s words pulled everyone’s attention back to the Mirror Path in front of them.
"Could be some kind of Crystal Stone, ground into this."
"That’s unlikely," Luyu Teahouse expressed a different opinion, saying:
"If it were Crystal Stone, it wouldn’t be this seamless."
Luyu’s question was also everyone else’s question.
"But Crystal Stone can be man-made," Lin Yi said:
"Perhaps some substance was added to water, forming Crystal Stone upon solidification, but it can’t be ice, just bears a resemblance."
Lin Yi took out a scalpel, stabbing a few times, slicing off a fingernail-sized transparent crystal.
He shone a searchlight on it, observing it was entirely transparent, exuding cold; to the naked eye, it resembled ice.
Then, Lin Yi held it in his hand for a moment, with no sign of melting, which further confirmed his guess.
"Let’s take it back for analysis," Jiang Zhengnan said.
Lin Yi nodded, pocketed it, and said, "The hardness is fine; people can walk on it."
Lin Jingzhan glanced at the people behind him, "Everyone be careful, connect everyone with ropes."
Though no danger was yet encountered, it was wise to be cautious under these circumstances.
After about ten minutes, everyone was connected with ropes.
Led by Lin Jingzhan, they first walked across.
Step by step, everyone was cautious.
Even Lin Jingzhan and Moon dared not take any chances.
One after another, over a dozen people were on the Mirror Path, only a few meters from the other side.
But at that moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred!
Lin Yi suddenly saw a shadow flash beneath the Mirror Path.
His heart skipped a beat, as if gripped tightly.
"Quickly retreat, something’s happening!"
Lin Yi’s exclamation made everyone present tense up.
It must be said, both teams had top-notch reaction abilities.
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s shout, they retreated back immediately!
At this time, many also saw a shadow flash beneath their feet.
"This road is not made of Crystal Stone; it’s hollow underneath!" Moon said.
Crack, crack, crack—
At that moment, it sounded like glass shattering!
Everyone saw a giant shadow rapidly rising from beneath the Mirror Path.
Boom!
Without giving anyone a chance to react, the Mirror Path was covered with countless cracks, spreading in every direction.
Crash—
The hard Crystal Stones shattered entirely at that moment, and a colossal black figure emerged, revealing itself to everyone.
It was a Giant Python.
The massive head was thicker than a woman’s waist.
Its entire body was black, at least twenty meters long, with scales the size of a palm and a foul-smelling mucus.
The menacing giant mouth opened like an abyss, its sharp fangs interlocking, lunging at Luyu Teahouse.
"Damn it!"
Lin Jingzhan instantly reacted, charging toward the python, then leaped into the air, punching its head.
Simultaneously, Song Jinmin also reacted.
Somehow, he manipulated a half-meter-long stick, extending over half a meter on both sides, transforming it into a long rod.
Just like Lin Jingzhan, Song Jinmin wielded the iron rod, smashing it hard onto the python’s head!
Even for the python, enduring blows from the two was unbearable, causing it to writhe on the ground.
"Attack!"
Plant A Gaisen called out, and the remaining people pulled out folding knives and crossbows, ready to finish off this beast!
However!
When the weapons hit the python, everyone realized their thinking was naive.
The folding knife struck the python’s body, causing no harm.
They only observed the dent in the skin and flesh; only the crossbow barely penetrated an inch.
"Damn it!"
The scene stunned everyone.
"Is this beast wearing body armor?" Song Jinmin quipped.
"It’s not the time to talk about this; quickly target its heart at the seventh inch!"
