I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 69 Entering the Channel

Wen Liang and Laura said goodbye to Jacob, Sophia and Jonah, and walked quickly into the mysterious passage. The people of Holy Trinity also understood that Laura wanted to get the Holy Source before them, so they would definitely speed up.

The stone steps of the observation platform were the entrance. Sophia went inside to open the mechanism, and the middle of the stone steps fell down, revealing the entrance. After entering, the two found that there were a lot of rubble in the passage.

It's a little dark around, but the magical thing is that it doesn't feel stuffy in there. If you feel carefully, you will notice that there is air flowing out from inside, forming a weak breeze.

After going down the stairs, there is a small hall with tables, stone statues and other old furnishings, but it seems that this is the end and there is no other way out.

Laura held up the flashlight and looked around. Suddenly, she waved at Wen Liang and shouted, "Here!"

At one wall, Wen Liang saw a wall of a different color. The bricks and stones on it were obviously loose, and there were small air currents coming out of the cracks.

“Is this a fake wall?!”

"Let's take it apart and see." Laura picked up her mountaineering pick. "Jacob didn't tell us about the fake wall. Is this a test for us?"

Wen Liang stopped Laura from knocking on the wall, "Let me do it!" He took out a sledgehammer and said, "I think Jacob may have really forgotten it. After all, it has been a thousand years!"

"Hey!!"

Wen Liang swung the sledgehammer and smashed it hard against the wall. With a loud bang, a big hole appeared in the wall!

Now the wind inside seemed to have found a new outlet and suddenly became much stronger.

"Look, there really is a passage behind!"

Wen Liang leaned over to take a look and said, Laura also came over to take a look.

"Looks like we found the right one!"

"Please make way for me and I will open the passage completely!"

Wen Liang put on a mask this time and smashed the wall three or four times before he completely demolished it.

After the dust settled, Wen Liang and Laura went in wearing masks. Behind them was a rough stone staircase leading downwards, and on both sides were bumpy stone walls. It was obvious that the people who built this secret passage dug it in a hurry and did not even go through the process of polishing the passage.

Wen Liang was holding a torch in front, and Laura was behind, and the two of them quickly shuttled through the passage. After walking nearly a hundred meters, there was a cliff at the exit!

A long time ago, there should have been a wooden bridge connecting the opposite wall, but now all that remains are wooden piles buried on both sides of the cliff.

"Looks like we have to jump over it!" Wen Liang said.

Laura looked at Wen Liang in surprise, "Are you sure you jumped?"

"if not?"

"This is six meters... at least six or seven meters away!"

"We have a safety rope!" Wen Liang didn't think it was complicated and it didn't seem too difficult.

Taking out an orange safety rope as thick as a little finger, Wen Liang tied one end to himself and the other end to a wooden stake. Laura finally wrapped it around herself a few times.

Leaving the rope long enough, Wen Liang ran to speed up, leaped into the air at the edge of the cliff, and rushed forward like a cannonball!

Just after reaching the highest point of the jump, Wen Liang's body had already reached the opposite platform! Seeing that he was about to hit the opposite wall, Wen Liang was also startled and quickly stretched out his arms to cushion the impact.

He did some push-ups against the wall to stop himself and avoid getting hurt in the face.

He thought he could easily jump over the cliff, but he didn't expect it to be so easy!

This also shocked Laura. While she was stunned, Wen Liang untied the rope on his body and tied it to the wooden stake here.

"come on!"

Laura finally came to her senses and calmed herself down. She tied the rope on her side around the wooden stake again, then climbed up the rope on all fours like a monkey and passed through quickly in a few steps!

“You are so flexible!”

"You seem to be even more powerful!"

The two of them flattered each other, laughed and continued to move forward. The uneven cliff route made it difficult for them to increase their speed, but they were inexplicably in a much better mood.

Fortunately, there were no more difficulties such as cliffs on the way back, but climbing up and down was quite physically demanding. Wen Liang saw that Laura's breathing became disordered, so he suggested that they sit down in a wide and dry cave to rest for a while.

"Not only are you strong and can jump far, but you also have great physical endurance!" Laura took the water from Wen Liang and sat on the ground to rest. "I'm really enviable."

Wen Liangze took out the dry firewood that he had prepared long ago, lit a fire, and dispelled the moisture and cold air in the cave.

"Aren't you also the envy of others, such as Sophia?"

Laura paused and thought about it, then shook her head and said, “I don’t think I have anything for her to envy, he’s also great!”

"Of course."

"for example?"

"For example, we have a good relationship~"

"Haha~" Laura laughed, "That's right!"

After laughing for a while, Laura stopped and looked around, then said, "This place... Kit City, Jacob, and the Undead Legion. This mystery is what my father had been looking for. Now I am finally about to see the truth..."

"Your father would be proud of you!"

"Thank you!"

After eating a little, they both felt their strength was restored and continued on their way. They didn't dare to delay for too long, after all, the people from Shang Sanyi were also moving forward, and they were numerous!

The road ahead is no longer just a stone passage. Traces of human beings have gradually appeared, and many dilapidated ancient buildings appear in the field of vision from time to time.

The passage was gradually becoming wider. Finally, after climbing a three-meter-high stone wall, I looked up and saw a tall round cave entrance, like a chimney that went straight to the sky, but it was much thicker. The sunlight reflected from inside, turning the cave orange.

At this time, the road in front of him suddenly became flat, but the two sides of the road were very strange. There were countless wooden thorns buried on both sides, and the tips of the thorns pointed straight to the sky, as if defending against something.

Looking through the thorn bush, Laura saw the cave at the end of the road. She picked up the intercom and said, "Jacob, we are going in. What's in there?"

"Zizizi... No one has entered since we sealed the entrance several centuries ago. It should be safe inside, at least until you reach the orrery."

“Is this a facility within the observatory?”

"Zizizi... Yes, it was built by our astronomers before the Undead Army overwhelmed the ancient city. You must rely on it to open the entrance to Kit City."

After receiving the information, the two of them walked to the entrance of the cave. Laura entered first, followed by Wen Liang.

The roads inside also collapsed a lot due to the vibration when the city sank. The two had to pay attention to their feet at all times to avoid stepping on empty air and falling into the abyss.

After jumping down several times, the two were already very deep underground, but the magical thing was that there was some light when they reached the depth.

After passing through a broken stained glass window, a huge instrument suddenly appeared in front of them! It pierced through the sky and the earth. Above it was a circular dome several dozen meters high, and below it was a bottomless, pitch-black abyss!

"This is the Orrery!!"
