To Reach Deep Underground, You Have to Drill

"Keep up, keep up."

Seeing Dai Tianfeng head off, the others behind him set off together.

At this moment, some distance away from the location, Dai Tianfeng stopped.

A sword light flashed in his eyes as he looked at that area, as if trying to see through the scene within.

However, the sword light quickly disappeared.

There are no illusion arrays or formations here, and from the senses, there is nothing special about this place.

"You, go there."

Dai Tianfeng glanced around and gave orders to the group.

The men who were given the order agreed and then headed towards the location marked by Dai Tianfeng.

Nothing happened, and no unexpected situation arose.

After about fifteen minutes, Dai Tianfeng also got up and left.

"Since there's nothing strange here, then..."

Dai Tianfeng looked down at the ground.

Is it underground?

At that moment, he issued the order.

Dig!

Since the mind cannot penetrate to a certain depth underground, then dig up the ground to increase the depth at which it can be sensed.

This is the only discovery we've made in this period, so we can't just leave it at that.

In an instant, everyone became busy.

Soon, a rather deep pit appeared in the area.

Furthermore, thanks to everyone's hard work, the depth of this pit continues to increase.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

"Everyone, stay close together and don't leave this area."

Dai Tianfeng spoke up, then began to observe.

The Beast Race at night are not like they are during the day.

Now, seemingly drawn by the light, the Beast Race are once again showing signs of gathering.

However, when they were still some distance away from the group, the spirit beasts stopped, much like the usual situation in the city.

However, unlike here, no light shot into the sky.

Many people were slightly moved by this scene:

"Could this be the Nine-Story Tower that everyone is searching for?"

"Given such a strange situation, something must be buried here. Judging from the recent rumors circulating in the secret realm, it's very likely the Nine-Story Tower."

"As the foremost of the ten prodigies of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, my fortune is indeed unmatched by others. I just wonder if I would have the opportunity to enter the Nine-Story Tower."

Everyone has their own ideas, but right now everyone is looking forward to it.

Although the depth seemed quite astonishing at this point, nothing particularly special could be sensed.

Time passed little by little.

The excavation work here has become increasingly massive, extending to an unknown depth, to the point that further excavation requires the infusion of sufficient spiritual energy.

Dai Tianfeng followed behind, venturing deeper into the area together.

We've already dug for so long, invested so much time here, and even though we haven't found anything yet, it doesn't matter. We'll keep digging until...

Just as he was thinking this, Dai Tianfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed.

At the very edge of the deepest depths he could sense, he sensed something different.

If nothing unexpected happens, the aura there should be related to an array.

"Get out of the way."

At that moment, Dai Tianfeng spoke and stepped forward, sword in hand.

Everyone stepped back, and then they saw Dai Tianfeng raise his hand and draw his sword, the Sword Qi surging, and streams of Sword Qi swirling around him.

The next moment, he suddenly began to spin, and the powerful aura he exuded caused those nearby to retreat once again.

Boom!

Dai Tianfeng was like a spinning longsword, colliding with the incredibly hard earth.

In an instant, earth and rocks surged, and his figure disappeared into the ground, personally demonstrating to the busy crowd what had happened.

To get deep into the earth, you have to drill.

Dai Tianfeng's figure descended downwards at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, as it sensed the array getting closer and closer, and was about to stop, the rocks in front of it unexpectedly fell deeper into the ground.

Beneath the sword's gleam, a deep black void appeared.

"The formation... is it no longer in existence?"

Dai Tianfeng's eyes flickered slightly as he confirmed that there was indeed the aura of an array, but it seemed to have stopped functioning due to the passage of time or other reasons.

Brush.

An object is thrown out, bursting forth with light that illuminates the entire space below.

The next moment, a look of disappointment appeared on Dai Tianfeng's face.

The space here is not very vast; although it is not small, it feels quite empty.

Although there were some decorations on the ground, there was no Nine-Story Tower as advertised.

Clearly, this is not the location of the so-called Nine-Story Tower.

Of course, although it wasn't the Nine-Story Tower I had expected, this place still had some unique features and wasn't completely empty.

At that moment, Dai Tianfeng's gaze fell upon the array below, which could be described as a formation.

Located at a high vantage point, overlooking the area, the layout here appears quite unique.

Simply put, it resembles a giant eye. Although somewhat abstract, the overall stripes and the feeling it evokes are indeed that.

After sensing that the formation was not operating, Dai Tianfeng walked towards the center of the area.

Has anyone been here before?

When Dai Tianfeng saw the round hole, about the size of a human head, right in the center of the eye, his expression immediately turned sour.

Last time, the location of that sword palace was just a step too late, and this time, it's happened again...

"Wrong."

Suddenly, Dai Tianfeng thought of something, and he lifted himself up again to a high place to look down at the area.

At the same time, the light used to illuminate this place became even stronger.

For a moment, the entire space was brighter than daytime.

"Really!"

The light was bright and clear, but Dai Tianfeng's expression also darkened.

In another area, a funnel-shaped passage can be clearly seen.

Judging from the condition of the surrounding walls, the attacker must have used extremely powerful methods to cause such damage.

The reason why entry was so easy now seems to have an answer.

Because someone else has already entered this area, the barrier used to block it has been broken.

This, in a way, seems to be a silent proof.

He, Dai Tianfeng, was indeed late.

But Dai Tianfeng clearly did not give up.

It carefully looked around.

Finally, in another location, he found some "stains" on the ground that obscured some traces of the formation.

As you get closer, you can see that it is a pile of bones, covered in dust, after an unknown amount of time.

Brush.

The spiritual energy swept through, scattering all the dust.

Dai Tianfeng's gaze swept carefully over the skeletons, then he looked around.

This pile of bones has no skull.
