Chapter 1182 Under the Abyss

Zong Yue is a serious person and doesn't like to talk nonsense with them at this time.

He waved his hand, and hundreds of engineering soldiers rushed out from behind him.

The carriage at the back of the train opened and they carried out a large number of complex tools.

Zhang Yi and others looked over and found that they were actually trying to build a ladder into the abyss.

"Is this going to put a ladder 10,000 meters underground? Is it possible for us to climb down?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but complain to Zong Yue.

In fact, in order to cope with underground conditions, they all added flying devices to their combat uniforms.

Zong Yue said calmly: "This is necessary. The underground is the home ground of the Earth Centipede. If we humans want to fight them there, we must rely on tools."

While he was talking, Zhang Yi had already seen engineering soldiers pushing some large equipment on sleds, and then began to release lines into the abyss.

It was a very thin silk thread that looked like the cotton thread used to sew clothes at home.

"Is this a nanowire?"

Zhang Yi asked Zong Yue.

Zong Yue nodded: "It is indeed nanomaterials."

Only this kind of material can support the delivery of elevators and a large amount of materials to a depth of 10,000 meters underground.

Not everyone is like Zhang Yi, who travels lightly and just throws everything into a different space.

When others fight, the large amount of weapons, oxygen, and medicine they need to carry must be carried manually.

As the main force, Zhang Yi cannot always stay with other team members, so the transportation of these supplies is also necessary.

Zhang Yi nodded and sighed in his heart, a professional is a professional, Zong Yue's preparation was indeed thorough.

This is probably the so-called "the three armies are not moved, food and grass go first".

The engineers had obviously rehearsed countless times for this operation, so it took less than fifteen minutes to complete the laying of more than a dozen elevators, and the other end was tied to a huge armored train.

Once any problem occurs, they can quickly start the train and bring the people below up.

After the layout was completed, Zong Yue said to everyone: "Let's set off!"

He was the first to step on the elevator, and his subordinate [Wuzhiqi] Tian Fengyi followed without hesitation.

Thirty-six Tiangang followed closely behind.

But Li Yangyang ran over carelessly and hugged Fatty Xu's arm.

"It's too crowded over there, I'd better go with you!"

Fatty Xu didn't expect that Li Yangyang would dare to come to him openly at this time, and he felt shy and excited at the same time.

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows. He knew Li Yangyang's identity, so she would occasionally do some bold things, and no one would restrain her.

However, as long as it doesn't affect the battle, that's fine.

"Flower!"

Zhang Yi shouted, and Huahua let out a "meow--", and then as a strong wind blew by, its figure instantly grew in size, turning into a seven- or eight-meter-long giant with wings!

Liang Yue, Uncle You, and Deng Shentong jumped on Huahua's back. Fatty Xu climbed up with difficulty, and then stretched out his hand to pull Li Yangyang onto Huahua's back.

Zhang Yi's body floated into the air and headed towards the abyss with them.

People from other regions also showed their talents.

In the northwest region, Cheng Lanlan, the God of Sky War, turned into a peregrine falcon as big as a human, floating above the heads of others.

Li Changgong took the others down in the elevator.

Over in the Northeast Region, Han Shanzuo whistled, and streaks of black energy appeared around his body, eventually turning into crows all over the sky.

This group of crows lifted his and the bodies of the Five Northeastern Immortals, and also landed into the abyss.

Soon, everyone entered the abyss.

The abyss was huge and empty, and soon the huge hole behind it turned into a small point of light.

As you go lower, the temperature slowly rises, and soon it reaches a level that makes people feel warm.

Everyone is wearing combat uniforms that can adjust the temperature, and they are already prepared, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

Even when you go all the way down to 10,000 meters underground, you need to withstand ultra-high temperatures of hundreds of degrees!

It’s no wonder that huge existences like earth centipedes appear deep underground.

Because of such high temperatures, larger organisms are better at dissipating heat.

It is said that in prehistory, the reason why many giant creatures such as dinosaurs were able to exist in large numbers was because the temperature level on the planet at that time was several times higher than today.

A group of dozens of people worked non-stop. According to the previous plan, they wanted to end the battle in the shortest possible time.

However, when Zhang Yi, Li Changgong, Han Shanzuo and others were falling, their eyes were always inspecting the surrounding cliffs.

This is the place where the Yuanshi vein was discovered. They are very curious about that mysterious substance, and they each have their own plans.

Everyone kept falling. The elevator made of nanosilk threads was like a row of fine spider webs, but it could steadily lower the elevator carrying dozens of people to a depth of several thousand meters.

Until this time, Zhang Yi and the others finally discovered a strange light coming from underground.

When he descended about five thousand meters underground, Zhang Yi saw a blue starry sky in his eyes.

On the cliff, there are many stars, which are the Yuan ore that has not been completely collected after being excavated.

In the shadow space, Lu Keran controlled the detection instrument and began to search the surroundings.

Zong Yue said in a deep voice: "Those earth centipedes have been devouring Yuanshi veins to evolve, which is one of their main foods. After arriving here, the earth centipede's lair will not be far away. Everyone is ready to fight!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes became sharp.

Zhang Yi has been blocking everyone with the dimensional gate, with Bai Xiao on his left hand and Holy Judge on his right hand ready.

When Zhang Yi was flying downward, he cut a piece of Yuan Stone from the cliff next to him and put it in his hand to feel it.

This natural ore, like coal, contains energy in itself.

However, it also needs to be extracted through instruments and equipment.

Zhang Yi put it away smoothly, and began to silently calculate in his heart how to reasonably "mine" the surrounding mineral veins when the fight finally broke out.

After everyone descended to seven thousand meters, they began to slowly discover the figure of the Earth Centipede on the surrounding rock walls.

Deep underground there was only a faint light brought by the Yuan Stone, but through the night vision device they could clearly see the Earth Centipede's figure.

It was a creature that looked like a bamboo pole with a pale body. Although its name contained the word "centipede", it was only because it had dozens of pairs of legs. In fact, its appearance was far different from the common centipede.

Especially the drill-like mouthparts on the top of the head give people a disgusting feeling.
