Chapter 519: Night Exploration of the First Floor of Abyss
Like a soul-guiding device?
Zhou Qing was surprised to hear that there was such a category of mutants. He guessed that it might be the type of mutant produced after the complete fusion of weapon spirit and human body.
Although the residents here cannot awaken their martial spirits in this peculiar environment, they are still living on the Douluo Continent. Even if their martial spirits have not awakened, it does not mean that they do not exist.
The martial spirit still exists in their bodies, but it may be in a state similar to "stillborn".
After the mayor of Tianming City introduced the general situation of the town of Abyss, he led everyone through the town to the edge of the entrance to the abyss ruins.
In the center of the abyss with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, there is a circular metal platform with a length and width of about five hundred meters. The pillars under the metal platform are only a circle smaller than the metal platform, with a diameter of about four hundred and eighty meters, leading to the first level of Abyss.
It is said that the bottom of the first layer is only 500 meters from the ground, but it is pitch black below, and surrounded by clouds and mist. Even Zhou Qing cannot see clearly what is underneath.
This thick pillar is also the main passage for most residents of Abis Town to go down for adventure.
Why is it important?
Because some adventurous residents will, after preparing all the exploration equipment, hang a climbing rope from the edge of the abyss and use the natural platform on the edge of the mountain wall to descend.
If most soul masters follow the strong instinct of their martial spirits and are eager to fight, then the residents living in the town of Abyss are obsessed with exploring the Abyss Abyss.
The politics, economy, culture, etc. of this town are all related to Abyss.
But it is precisely because of this strong spirit of exploration that the mental state of the residents of this town is much more active than that of civilians in other cities on the continent.
It seems that as long as Abyss has not been fully explored, their lives will always be meaningful, and the courage and passion to explore the unknown will always accompany their hearts.
Afterwards, the Lord of Tianming City arranged for the fifteen academies of the Tiandou Empire to live in a large manor to the north of the cave entrance, while the fifteen teams of the Xingluo Empire were to the south.
The finals will officially begin tomorrow on a metal platform that is made of extremely tough material that even a Titled Douluo cannot destroy.
As night fell, Zhou Qing and Tang San quietly left the room and came to the edge of the abyss ruins.
"The ancient ruins described by the Soul Saint in his diary should be down there, right? I just don't know which floor they are on." Tang San took out the Soul Guidance Crystal from the Moonlight on the 20th floor, looked at the darkness below, and sighed slowly, "The ancient civilization is really incredible."
"Just went further than us."
Zhou Qing smiled faintly, took out a climbing rope from the gray bag, and said, "Let's go down and take a look. The first floor is only 500 meters from the ground, which is not too high. If we calculate the time well, we can definitely come up before dawn, and we can also try the so-called ascending curse."
The first level of the ascending curse is accompanied by slight dizziness and vomiting.
According to Ning Rongrong, no matter ordinary people or soul masters, they cannot avoid it.
In other words, it has little to do with a person's physical fitness, it's just that people with stronger bodies are more resistant.
It was so special that Zhou Qing and Tang San naturally wanted to find out what was going on. They didn't call Xiao Wu, Romantina and the others because the Notting team needed people to stay behind.
After Tang San tied one end of the climbing rope to a nearby rock, he saw members of other teams appearing not far away, and they also had ropes and other things prepared in their hands. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that we are not the only curious people."
"Are you going down?"
In the dim street, a round-faced blonde girl, about 80 to meters tall, trotted out. Her accent was very strange, just like the foreigner who spoke awkward Mandarin in Zhou Qing's previous life.
She was wearing a brown expedition suit, a pair of gloves on her hands, a pair of round-frame glasses on her nose, and a round hat on her head, with a soul-guided lighting device embedded on top, similar to a searchlight.
The attire was almost identical to the stereotype of an expedition member that Zhou Qing had in his previous life.
"How old are you?"
Zhou Qing decided to ask the child's age. After all, it was difficult to judge the age of the children and teenagers in Abis Town just by looking at their appearance.
"Fifteen."
The girl...oh no, the girl spoke sweetly, "I am a great explorer, and I know the first floor quite well. I only need one gold soul coin to be your guide."
Gold Soul Coins are also the common currency in the town of Abis.
Although the residents of Abyss Town cannot leave, they can trade with the knights guarding outside the mountain and exchange the things they obtain from their expeditions for daily necessities such as food.
After all, this area around the mountain pass doesn't look like a place where large-scale grain can be grown, and the slopes outside the mountain are not suitable for growing large quantities of crops.
Zhou Qing did not agree immediately, but glanced around other academy members and found some child-like boys and girls walking over. Then he nodded to the round-faced blonde girl in front of him, handed her a gold soul coin, and said, "Okay, we'll hire you as a tour guide."
"thank you all."
The girl began to introduce herself, her name was Riko, and her dream was to explore the bottom of the abyss ruins, but she had only been to the first floor so far.
Moreover, the girl was very talkative and had no guard against others. Even though she didn't even know Zhou Qing and Tang San's names, she told them everything about herself.
such as:
She was an orphan, but she was not born in Abyss Town. Instead, she was born on the second floor of the Abyss Ruins and was sent to the surface by her mother...
Her mother seemed to use some kind of disposable soul guide to prevent her from being affected by the ascending curse...
One of the reasons why she wanted to explore the bottom of the Abyss Ruins was to find her mother. She believed that her mother was still alive and had gone to the bottom, but could not come up again because of the ascending curse...
Zhou Qing wrote down everything Li Ke described, and then noticed the red whistle hanging around her neck. He asked curiously, "I see that the residents in this town all have whistles hanging around their necks. What's the reason?"
"What are you talking about?"
Li Ke didn't hear clearly and turned around to ask.
"???"
Tang San was completely confused.
But Zhou Qing remained silent, trying hard to recall the English that he had almost forgotten. It took him a long time to remember what Riko's words meant.
and so--
Could it be that the first humans on Douluo Continent came from Earth or Blue Star?
Li Ke also realized that she had spoken a language that people outside could not understand, so she immediately said in the common language of Douluo Continent: "You just spoke too fast, I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
"Excuse me, why do you all have whistles hanging around your necks?" Zhou Qing slowed down his speech and asked about the whistles again.
"Whistles are a way to convey information to each other, and they also represent the level of explorers..."
