Chapter 656 We can't have made a wasted trip.
With this final descent, Cangnian finally saw what lay at the bottom of this enormous, unknown well.
Beneath the crimson light of the blood pearl, the lakebed was flat and empty, utterly still, as if it had reached the Earth's core and vanished into nothingness.
The rock wall on the side, connected to the lake bottom like the interior of a giant cylinder, is abrupt and regular, further confirming that this is not a natural landform.
"Your Majesty, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this!"
Seeing that Cangnian was observing his surroundings, the little sable transmitted its voice.
"This may be something left behind by a past civilization on Earth. It has not yet been corrupted or assimilated by the forces of nature, so it must have some function."
Otherwise, there would have been no need for the previous civilization to go to such lengths to create such a place.
Think about the Bohai Dragon Palace where Ao Tian and the others live. It is also an ancient building that has been preserved to this day. Isn't that the case?
These ancient creations must have had their purpose.
Cang Nian responded telepathically.
He couldn't see anything special about the place, but he was convinced that it wasn't built haphazardly.
"Hmm... Your Majesty is right!"
Let's explore the entire bottom of this lake! We might find something!
Upon hearing this, the little sable nodded in understanding and then transmitted its voice.
Then, the tiger and the weasel walked towards the center of the lake bottom.
Since this thing is designed to resemble a cylindrical deep well, the center point, which has special significance in this structure, should be its key point.
The depth of this giant well is unknown, but the rock walls are straight up and down. The size of the lake surface must be just as large as the bottom of the lake.
Reaching the center point is only about 100 kilometers away.
"Ok?"
However, before Cang Nian could reach the center, the lake bottom began to change.
We had only just left the rock face, and had traveled a kilometer, when the ground began to change.
The once flat lakebed suddenly dropped a section!
The drop is about 100 meters!
Then, another kilometer towards the center, there is another drop, also one hundred meters high!
This made Cangnian and Little Sable exchange a glance.
Something is definitely fishy!
So the tiger and the weasel slowly made their way toward the center of the lake bottom, silently counting each drop they encountered.
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
……
As he continued forward, the constant drops in elevation made Cang Nian feel that his body could no longer withstand it. He could only grit his teeth and unleash a burst of power beyond his limits!
A level of overlimit burst can triple 50% of the attributes, and when combined with the original 50%, it can achieve the effect of doubling the attributes.
In addition, the two 90% free attributes are combined, which is nearly a fourfold increase.
However, the duration of a single over-limit burst is only one minute. Time is of the essence, so Cangnian can only move forward quickly!
But in the process of exploring forward, Cang Nian did not forget to count the drops that were like steps!
After about thirty seconds of activating the first level of overlimit burst, Cangnian and Little Sable finally reached the center of the lake bottom!
The numbers that Cang Nian silently counted had reached a rather peculiar order.
"Ninety-nine... there are ninety-nine floors in total."
Cang Nian silently recited in his heart.
From the edge of the lake to the center, there are ninety-nine drops, finally reaching the center of the lake bottom.
Here, there is a circular bottom with a radius of one kilometer, and the entire lake bottom is like a funnel that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
"Your Majesty, does this have any special meaning?"
Seeing this empty scene, the little sable transmitted its voice in confusion.
"Perhaps we haven't found the right approach..."
Cang Nian shook his head, then stepped towards the bottom of the lake at its center.
However, as he stepped onto it, he felt a different sensation from before from the bottom of his claws.
Looking up, beneath a thin layer of silt at the bottom of the water, there were dense and intricate patterns, exuding a sense of antiquity and weight.
It was these uneven textures that made him feel the texture was different!
Seeing this, although Cang Nian couldn't determine what it was, he understood that it must be quite extraordinary.
Estimating that he only had a few seconds left to unleash his ultimate power, Cang Nian quickly looked at the little sable.
"Azure Sky, in five seconds, share the blur effect with me!"
Cang Nian hurriedly transmitted his voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, the little sable nodded, activating its special ability and preparing to unleash its power.
Cangnian, taking advantage of the brief moment when he could still withstand the water pressure, activated his Water Dragon skill!
The next second, the still lake water began to surge and gently ripple across the bottom of the lake!
In just a few seconds, the thin layer of silt at the center of the lake, within a radius of one kilometer, was cleared away, revealing the entire lakebed to Cang Nian.
Then, Cang Nian felt a lightness all over his body, and the terrifying water pressure no longer had any effect on him.
This was because Little Sable applied a blurring effect to him five seconds later, just as he had requested!
However, Cangnian knew that while Little Sable's own use of the Ethereal skill consumed very little energy, its use on other targets consumed a great deal of energy and would not last very long.
Immediately afterwards, Cangnian felt his defensive attributes decrease sharply.
The duration of the super-limit burst has passed.
However, Cangnian did not pay attention to this. Instead, he activated the free attribute skill and moved 90% of the values of the strength and speed attributes to the spirit column.
Then, with the help of the little sable's spatial imprint, Cangnian summoned a halo of light, which lifted him upwards.
Immediately, he could see the entire bottom of the lake, which had a radius of one kilometer.
The bottom, which he had cleared away with his Water Dragon skill, revealed a complete and intricate pattern.
The entire pattern, with its concentric circles, makes you feel dizzy and lightheaded after staring at it for a few seconds.
Cangnian, with the help of his temporarily strong mental power, repeatedly memorized the patterns on the bottom of the circle, etching them into his mind.
When he first came down, he didn't sense any evolved creatures below this giant deep well.
Therefore, it is very likely that there are no evolved organisms at all here.
In addition, apart from the lake bottom which resembles steps, all that remains are the patterns on this round bottom, which is somewhat mysterious.
Since everything here is fixed in place, it's impossible to take it away.
Then I can only memorize these extraordinary patterns and go back to Noah's brain-computer interface technology to replicate them. This trip won't be a complete waste.
Although he didn't know what the patterns were, Cangnian felt they might be related to formations. He would take a look at them when he got back, and maybe they would find something useful!
Of course, it's more likely that Noah himself didn't understand what this thing was either.
But no matter what, we have to give it a try!
And so, Cangnian memorized the patterns below more than a dozen times, making sure he wouldn't forget a single detail, before turning back to look at the little sable.
"Let's go back!"
