Silver Visitor was standing in front of all of them, looking at the broken shield that only had one corner exposed. He took a deep breath, reached out to grab the edge of the shield, and then lifted it up.
One could see that the broken shield was stuck in the ground. Even Silver Visitor could only pull out the shield bit by bit.
With Silver Visitor's movements, the rest of the shield slowly appeared in front of them. The shield was made of bronze and covered with a lot of rust. Under the rust, there were marks. Obviously, the shield had once collided with the sharp weapon.
Gradually, the entire shield was pulled out from the ground by Silver Visitor. The shield was shaped into a rhombus and was about 60 centimetres high. Apart from the missing horn on the top, there were two more parts below that were missing.
Before Silver Visitor and others could carefully study the shield, the whole underground tunnel seemed to be triggered by some mechanism, and suddenly began to tremble violently.
Everyone could clearly sense that the ground beneath their feet was trembling, and it started sinking into the pit.
The man standing in front of Henry glanced at his feet subconsciously. As a result, as soon as he lowered his head, the ground under his feet disappeared and his whole body fell down.
So did Henry and the others. Almost at the same time, the ground under their feet all cracked.
After a short fall, they all fell to the ground. However, the ground was not flat. It was a downward slope, which made the people who fell on it continue to slide down uncontrollably.
Henry and Silver Visitor adjusted their bodies immediately. As long as they were willing, they could stop their fall at any time. However, neither of them did that. After all, their purpose this time was to see what was in this undercity dungeon.
They fell down in a hurry, and the lighting equipment on their suits was not fully turned on. Because they kept rolling, the light source couldn't provide good lighting for everyone. It was dark at the bottom of the tunnel. Even Silver Visitor and Henry couldn't see the scene in front of them clearly in this situation of high-speed movement.
This gliding continued for nearly a minute before it finally came to a stop. Other than Henry and Silver Visitor, the remaining five members of Section Nine all fell to the ground. It was fortunate that three of them had isolation clothing to protect them. The quality of this isolation clothing was not bad. As for the man and woman in casual clothes, they looked much more miserable.
Henry was calculating the distance in his head. They had slid down at least 200 metres.
200 metres underground did not sound so scary. But this was already a restricted area that 99% of the people in the world had never come into contact with.
When he completely stopped, Henry began to look around. His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and he could see some blurred scenes.
Henry looked around and found that the bottom of the pit was particularly vast, just like the top floor of the City of Hell. He could not see the end of it.
"This... this is too big!"
Henry heard a voice that sounded a little shocked from the headset.
"What's this place?" Two lights suddenly lit up. The two flashlights were turned on, and the lights brought by the flashlights allowed everyone to see the surroundings clearly. This time, not only the five young members of Section Nine, but also Henry and Silver Visitor could not help but open their mouths wide, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Around them was a vast flat ground. Beyond the vast flat ground were layer after layer of black stone roofs.
"Now, we seem to be standing on an altar." A man in an isolation suit swallowed his saliva.
