It was less than two hundred meters away, so Jiang Yan Hai's tanks quickly entered the hall. It was merely an ordinary, enormous cave, pitch-black inside. Without the headlights, they would not have been able to see anything around them.
Its only distinguishing feature was the highly conspicuous Star Gate. This Star Gate was not large, at least not as large as they had imagined. Its diameter was only twelve meters, smaller even than the Star Gate range Jiang Yan Hai's side had expanded to connect to the Great Qin world.
