Chapter 147: Mysterious Sinkhole, Plenty of Energy Crystals

This sinkhole hid in a dense forest, with lush mushroom trees above and dense shrubs at the bottom .

It was well hidden . Who would have found this sinkhole had it not been for the white glow?

But now, the three of them found it .

“Let’s check it out . ”

The three of them moved in a whirlwind and came in front of the sinkhole .

At this time, the white glow had disappeared, leaving behind a pitch-dark, seemingly bottomless sinkhole that looked like the mouth of a massive monster, waiting to swallow everything .

“The white glow has disappeared?” Dylon looked at Ling Jiu and Shi Gang . “Do you two want to go down there?”

“What do you think? Of course!” Shi Gang said . “The white glow earlier looks exactly the same as the glow emitted from the energy crystals . There must be energy crystals at the bottom! No way I am not going down!”

“Let’s go then!”

Ling Jiu released his Arcana Field to shroud Shi Gang and Dylon in it . “Don’t resist it . I will take you two down . Remember, safety first in case there is a situation . ”

“Understood . ”

Shi Gang and Dylon kept nodding .

Ling Jiu wrapped around the two with his Arcana Field as he drifted down to the bottom of the sinkhole . It was extremely humid . The walls of the sinkhole were covered in organisms that resembled fungi and lichens .

It was dim all around after descending over ten meters . Shi Gang took out a flashlight and shone it toward the bottom of the sinkhole .

But he could see nothing . It was still a blanket of darkness .

“The flashlight can’t reach the bottom . How deep is this sinkhole?” Shi Gang’s voice trembled slightly .

“Must be super deep,” Dylon said .

So they kept descending .

The temperature dropped as they went, chilly air sweeping all over them, giving them a sepulchral moment .

“How deep is this freaking place, really?”

Shi Gang cursed in a low voice, his voice reverberating between the walls for a long time .

“Almost there!”

Ling Jiu suddenly spoke .

Shi Gang and Delong’s hearts skipped a beat, and Shi Gang quickly aimed the flashlight at the bottom of the sinkhole .

A terrifying tearing force suddenly came from the bottom, pulling their bodies towards it .

“Not good!”

Ling Jiu knew something was wrong and quickly adjusted the gravity force to resist the tearing force .

But it did not work . The tearing force was too strong . The three of them had only resisted for a moment before plunging in a free fall .

“Ling Jiu, what’s the situation?” Shi Gang screamed .

“We are falling!” Dylon was also screaming .

“Don’t panic!”

Ling Jiu remained calm despite what happened . He took out the silver metal and turned it into a spear of over ten meters long . Wielding the spear in his hand, he thrust it into the wall of the sinkhole with all his strength .

But it shocked him to find that the wall was impenetrable .

The spear had only created a series of sparks but could not make a dent in the wall .

“This sinkhole wall is unusual!”

Ling Jiu’s mind was racing . He immediately released his Arcana Field to cover a radius of 500 meters and tried to control the sinkhole wall .

He was damn sure that the wall was made of rocky soil . His Earth Arcana should have no problem manipulating the sinkhole wall .

But it still did not work . The sinkhole wall did not budge, not submitting to Ling Jiu’s command .

“What exactly is this sinkhole wall made of?”

Ling Jiu was mad . The wall was impenetrable and uncontrollable . Was it made of plastic?

A dazzling white light suddenly shone from the bottom of the sinkhole . The light was milky white and soft, not dazzling at all .

It then shocked Ling Jiu to see something at the bottom . A crack strangely appeared at the bottom of the sinkhole, through which the white glow shone .

“This is…”

The three of them exclaimed in unison . Under the illumination of the soft white glow, they could clearly see what kind of crack it was—a monstrous mouth .

More glow came through and the tearing force became stronger as the monstrous mouth slowly opened .

The three could no longer resist and plunged toward the monstrous mouth rapidly . They were swallowed in it .

Next, the monstrous mouth slowly closed back up while the tearing force and white glow disappeared . Darkness returned to the sinkhole bottom, as if nothing had happened before .

…

“A-A-Am I dead?”

Shi Gang’s voice trembled in the dim light .

“You are still alive . ”

It was Ling Jiu’s voice . “Where the hell is this?”

The surroundings were dark, but they could still make out that they were in a corridor-like passage .

The walls—let’s call them walls for the time being—were black on both sides . They were squirming like a living thing and sticky like some black viscous liquid .

“This wall… how come it resembles my Venom Suit?”

Ling Jiu walked up to one of the walls and reached out his hand to touch it carefully . It felt soft and was still squirming, which was indeed very similar to the Venom Suit .

“Is this wall really made of the same material as the Venom Suit?”

As this thought came to mind, Ling Jiu looked at other places . The passage was winding and leading to some unknown places .

“What is this place, Ling Jiu?” Shi Gang’s voice trembled . “Has the monstrous mouth swallowed us? Why are we in such a strange place?”

Dylon could not hide his fear and panic in his eyes, although he appeared calm . People are always scared of the unknown .

“I don’t know . ”

Ling Jiu shook his head, then pointed to the end of the passage . “The only way is to move forward if you want to know the answer .

“Or, we might as well hack the wall and get out of here . But I don’t bank my hope on this . ”

He knew how tough the Venom Suit was . If the walls were really made of the same material as the Venom Suit, they could not hack it .

“I will try . ”

Dylon roared and slammed his fist against the wall behind him . His burst of power was terrifyingly powerful, and his punch was enough to injure a Class-Six Direbeast .

But the wall took the punch and just shook .

“One more time!”

He tried another punch, and the result was the same .

“I don’t know what material the wall is made of . All I know is I can’t break it!” Dylon was disappointed .

“Let me try . ”

…

The wall that was seemingly made up of the Venom Suit material was indestructible, just like Ling expected . The three of them had tried everything, yet still could not make a dent in the wall .

It was too strong .

“There is nothing else we can do . Let’s just move on . ”

Ling Jiu sighed . He led the way while Shi Gang and Dylon hesitated . But since things had come to such a pass, they had no other choice .

The only way was to move forward .

The passage was dark . After moving about 800-1,000 meters, they finally saw light up ahead .

The three of them exchanged a glance with each other, then came to that light .

It was an enormous room . Calling it a hall would be more apt by the looks of it .

The hall was spacious, about two to three hundred square meters .

The most striking thing was the creamy white rocks inlaid on the ceiling . The white rocks exuded a soft creamy white glow just like night pearls .

“I-It’s the energy crystals!”

They were wide-eyed .

The rocks inlaid on the ceiling were nothing but the energy crystal they had been dreaming of .

“There are many energy crystals here . We would be rich if we can take them all down . ”

Shi Gang gulped, his body slightly trembling, his eyes green .

“Welcome here, earthlings!” A hoarse voice suddenly came .
