Chapter 1385 (1/2)
Chapter 1385: 456. Well-informed
Inner Cosmos, Alchemist Island, in the Pollution Zone of Steel Forest of Mortal World.
30 kilometers below Ground Level, a large group of Death Steel Soldiers wearing power armor were chiseling the ground with their powered tools.
The constant clinking and clanging of machinery roared everywhere, yet the sound of stone cracking under the drill was seldom heard.
Beneath the feet of the Death Steel Soldiers, the ground was a flawless, seamless, unwrinkled smooth crystal barrier.
It was as vast as the Earth itself, tougher than a diamond drill, not only possessing an incredibly astonishing hardness but also capable of slowly self-repairing, filling every scar left by the drills.
“Bang! Bang!”
Explosive loud noises.
This was the sound of heavy equipment striking the ground with large metal hammers, yet the crystal ground remained completely unscathed.
“Whirrrr—”
A large drill with a diameter of over ten meters spun wildly, only lifting a small amount of crystal debris and failing to penetrate the crystal ground.
The same scene repeated continuously in this 30-kilometer-deep subterranean space.
This situation had been ongoing for over ten days.
The excavation operation jointly initiated by the Metal Ancestor Dragon and the Death Steel Legion was utterly halted by this crystal ground.
If they couldn’t break through the crystal ground to continue digging downwards, then the Metal Ancestor Dragon could forget about reaching the Sacred Fire buried deep underground.
The only good news was, after a series of explorations, the Death Steel Legion in this vast crystal ground discovered a rectangular window emitting a strange luminescence.
This window appeared on the crystal ground like a water well, inside which were colorful lights.
Before the Metal Ancestor Dragon came to inspect the window, the Death Steel Legion had already sent some soldiers inside.
The fate of the soldiers was predictable yet somewhat unexpected.
After entering the window, the Death Steel Soldiers lost contact, but they did not die.
Their souls remained intact, yet their consciousness was disconnected from their superiors and lost within the brightly shining window.
The Metal Ancestor Dragon heard the news and rushed over.
This old dragon, who liked to present itself in the form of a Dragon Man, recognized the origin of this rectangular window at a glance.
The Metal Ancestor Dragon did not elaborate to the Death Steel Legion.
It merely issued a command to continue searching for similar windows on the crystal ground, then hurriedly left the Underground Area.
