Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Another seven days passed like this. Zhang Chen walked out of his residence and prepared to go outside for some fresh air when he saw two of his fellow disciples.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Zhang? Where are you going?"

The two looked at Zhang Chen with a joking expression.

Zhang Chen glanced at them indifferently. He didn't want to pay any attention to them, but he still replied.

"I'll go take a look at the city wall."

"What are you looking at? Don't you know that the Zerg have almost retreated by half?"

At this time another person interrupted and said:

"Brother Luo, they might find something we can't imagine."

"That's right. We can't imagine the Zerg breaking through the mountains."

……

Seeing that they were about to tease him again, Zhang Chen frowned and left quickly without arguing.

Coming to the city wall and looking outside, everything was the same as before. There had been no movement since the last siege. Not to mention attacking, there was no even flying insects or beasts being sent to investigate. It was like the prelude to a storm, eerie and quiet.

Zhang Chen shook his head, thinking that this might be the first time he experienced this kind of war, which was why he had such wild and unrealistic thoughts.

Walking along the city wall towards the mountain, I saw soldiers with excited expressions along the way. It seemed that they all knew that the Zerg were retreating, the war might be over, and they all had hope of returning home.

As we walked, we came to the crack that we had seen before, which was used as a toilet. We stopped a soldier who was about to go to the toilet and asked casually:

"Have you ever gone into this crack and carefully explored it?"

The soldier who was stopped was startled and quickly replied:

"Master, I have investigated. I know one of the people who went in to investigate."

"How's the situation inside?"

Zhang Chen continued to ask.

The soldier said calmly.

"It seems that they didn't find anything. They said they went down for dozens of feet but still couldn't reach the bottom. It was pitch black around them. They couldn't see anything even with the torches. Finally, the rope was not long enough, so they came back."

Zhang Chen's heart tightened when he heard this, and his face instantly darkened.

"That's it? You call this a careful investigation?"

The soldier was also very frightened after hearing this and didn't know how to answer. Zhang Chen also knew that it was not his fault.

Then he shook his head and guessed that the other cracks were probably the same. He just took a casual look and considered it an exploration.

"I'd better go down and take a look myself, so I can feel at ease."

Zhang Chen thought of this, so he ordered him to guard here and tell everyone not to use this place as a toilet anymore.

Then, he found a clean spot and jumped directly from the crack.

Every time he descended twenty meters he would use the Cloud-Stepping Step to slow down his falling speed. After only a few breaths, he had descended more than a hundred meters. Now it was pitch black all around him, and when he looked up he could see only a small opening.

Zhang Chen condensed a large ball of fire in his left hand to illuminate. Although he could only see a little bit in the dark, he could see farther and more clearly with the light source.

Later, he discovered that the deeper the crack went, the larger the space below became, just like an inverted funnel. After about five minutes, Zhang Chen slowly reached the bottom.

Zhang Chen immediately looked around. The space below was very large. Although there was a fireball for lighting, Zhang Chen still couldn't see the entire space. Since there had been no sunlight for years, it was cold, damp, and extremely quiet. Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Then he began to explore the surroundings. As he walked further and further, Zhang Chen became more and more frightened. He did not expect that there was such a large space below. After roughly determining the direction, Zhang Chen began to walk towards where the Zerg were.

Slowly the space began to get smaller. Zhang Chen found several narrow cracks in the rocks, so he chose one and walked in. It was winding and sometimes barely wide enough for one person to pass through. Sometimes the cracks became wider, extending upwards and sometimes downwards. In many places, one had to crawl to get through.

Zhang Chen walked for two full hours. Although the road was a bit difficult, it was still passable. Since it was not a straight line, Zhang Chen didn't know how far he had walked at this time.

After walking for another three hours, there still seemed to be no end. Zhang Chen had completely lost his direction. He just walked along any path he saw, not knowing whether he was heading in the direction of the Zerg.

As Zhang Chen had been concentrating on the fireball technique, a lot of his spiritual energy was consumed. So Zhang Chen found a spacious place to rest and took out the spirit stone to recover his spiritual energy.

The surroundings were pitch black and unusually quiet, which was a big test for ordinary people. It took Zhang Chen a year to adapt to the situation.

After recovering his spiritual energy, Zhang Chen continued on his journey. Unconsciously, he had been walking inside for two days. Fortunately, Zhang Chen brought the fasting pills and enough spirit stones, so he had no worries.

That day, Zhang Chen came to a large cave through a crevice in the rocks. While resting inside, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Gradually, the sound became louder and louder, and something was approaching Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes, condensed a fireball with his hands, and threw the fireball towards the direction where the sound came from. The fireball hit the stone wall, splashing large sparks. With the dim light, Zhang Chen could see clearly what was approaching.

It was a white centipede with dozens of legs, half a meter wide and five meters long, rushing towards Zhang Chen with its huge fangs bared.

"court death."

Zhang Chen snorted coldly and threw the fireball in his hand directly at it. The centipede did not dodge. The fireball hit its back directly, as if it had hit a stone. Sparks flew everywhere, but it could not burn on its body. The little sparks on its back were also bounced away by its body shaking.

Zhang Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't care. Seeing the centipede getting closer and closer, and the fishy smell coming over, Zhang Chen directly took out the magic sword, input spiritual energy, and swung it at the centipede. A five-meter-long sword light appeared and slashed directly at the centipede. The tentacles on the centipede's head kept swinging, as if it wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The sword light directly cut it into two pieces.

The two halves of the centipede's body kept rolling, and green liquid kept flowing out of the broken parts. After a while, it stopped moving. Zhang Chen walked over to check and found that several of the centipede's legs were broken and there were scars on its tail. These were not caused by Zhang Chen, and judging from the degree of healing of the wound, it was only injured a day or two ago.

Zhang Chen became alert and walked towards the direction where the centipede came from. Anyone who could injure such a big centipede must not be a good person.

After walking for a while, Zhang Chen actually felt a slight breeze and a glimmer of light ahead.

"Am I going to go out?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but think.

So he kept walking along this crack in the stone. Slowly the space became smaller and smaller, and the light became brighter and brighter. Zhang Chen also heard a lot of sounds, as if there were many animals moving around. Zhang Chen's face turned pale, and he had a bad guess.

So I slowed down and walked forward slowly. When I turned a corner, the light suddenly became brighter. Looking forward, I saw a cliff in front of me and the light was coming from below.

So he slowly walked to the cliff, used the water-hiding technique, stuck his head out and took a look, his face changed drastically.
