Chapter 37: The Huge Underground Maze
As the huge iron cage continued to sink, the people in the iron cage also disappeared into the darkness. The depth of the descent became deeper and deeper, the light above their heads became less and less, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
The bounty hunters and pirates who had been yelling and cursing stopped cursing at some point. The iron cage suddenly became very quiet, without any sound. The only thing they could hear was the constant clacking of chains and gears, leading them to the dark hell.
"Crack, crack, crack"
"Crack..."
The prisoners in the iron cage kept listening to the clacking sound of gears and chains. This sound seemed to be a countdown to death. As the iron cage continued to descend, it continued to go deeper underground. In their hearts, they all knew that they were stepping into hell step by step, and what was about to wait for them was death.
How long would they stay in this world? 10 minutes, or 20 minutes? In such a deep underground, would they enter hell? Will they suffer terrible punishment?
In the clacking sound of gears and chains, time kept passing, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and the fear of death became more and more intense, just like this deep and incomparable darkness, lingering in people's hearts.
Finally, in the darkness, someone couldn't hold on any longer and shouted,
"I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die, let me out!"
The choking voice was mixed with fear, but the only response to him was the sound of the cold gears running.
Just when he was about to collapse, suddenly, he seemed to see a ray of light. This ray of light was so dazzling in this thick darkness. Did God send an angel to save him?
"There is light"
"Look, there is light!"
"This light is so warm and comfortable!"
"We are saved! God sent an angel to save us!"
The people in the iron cage heard these crazy words and thought that this person had been scared silly and had hallucinations. They didn't believe what this person said, but they all raised their heads and looked around. After all, what if this was true?
After looking up for a while, I didn't find any light. It was still the darkest darkness, which made me feel desperate.
Sure enough, there was no light at all. It was all an illusion. There was no angel at all. Instead, I was on the way to hell.
Suddenly, I seemed to catch a very faint light in my eyes. This light shone on my body, and I felt very comfortable, as if I was back in my mother's arms.
I rubbed my eyes and kept looking with my eyes wide open. Finally, I was sure that it was indeed light. I cheered and shouted:
"It's light, there is really light!"
"Everyone, look!"
The people in the iron cage stood up and looked around. The light gradually increased. Everyone could see this bright light, and it shone on their bodies. It seemed that they really felt like they were back in their mother's arms. The fatigue on their bodies disappeared instantly, making people feel very comfortable.
Suddenly, the light was so bright that everyone had to cover their eyes. After a while, they put their hands down and looked around.
As the iron cage continued to descend, it came to a huge underground cave. Inside this cave, there were huge green tree roots everywhere. The light came from nowhere. It was very vast. The originally huge iron cage looked very small in this space.
Below, you can see many people from the World Government and the navy, escorting the prisoners who came in before. I wonder where they are going to be escorted?
The iron cage finally landed on the ground, and the iron cage was opened. Many navy rushed in and escorted the prisoners out.
Following the escorted prisoners, Moria kept looking at this place. Unexpectedly, there is such a place under the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because the depth of the dive was too deep, it exceeded the limit distance between Moria's body and shadow. In order to find out, Moria used the shadow warrior again in the dark, and Moria himself came to the iron cage, and then let the shadow come here quickly. When he came to the huge underground cave, he replaced the body with the shadow again, left the iron cage, and hid in the dark.
As the team continued to move forward, Moria found that countless huge tree roots, like spider webs, were constantly intertwined, forming a huge underground maze with no end in sight.
Moreover, Moria also found that in addition to the tree roots, some places here were reclaimed by the navy and planted with a kind of plant. Moria had never seen this plant before, but he could feel that it contained a strong vitality.
This plant is small and very distinctive. At the end of each slender leaf, there is a green gem, which is very eye-catching.
The places where this plant is planted are guarded by the navy and the world government, and the defense is tight. Moria also saw a huge processing plant from a distance, and all the collected plants were sent there.
This plant seems to be extraordinary.
This place itself has a strong breath of life due to the huge roots of the Yarqi mangroves. Living here for a long time can increase life expectancy.
And the green gems at the end of each leaf of this plant exude a strong breath of life. Moria's body instinct tells him that eating such green gems will be of great benefit to his body.
As expected, it is the World Government. I don't know how this place was discovered in the first place. Moreover, this plant seems to be able to improve people's vitality. It seems that following here this time is indeed the right choice.
Just knowing this plant, Moria has made a profit this time, but it seems that it is not so easy to get such a plant.
Although the underground space is large, there are only a few places where this plant is planted, and they are all heavily guarded.
But now is not the time to explore this plant. Moria's shadow found that there are traces of the old man in front.
It seems that what the people of the World Government said at the auction house was to send the old man to the holy land of Mary Joa, which was a cover. Moreover, the old man appeared here, which means that the immortal surgery is likely to be carried out here. Moria wants to see what the legendary immortal surgery looks like.
Moria glanced in the direction the navy escort team was heading, smiled slightly, and his body gradually disappeared into the shadows.
