Fishing the Myriad Heavens - Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Hopeless Situation

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Everyone felt an intense chill run down their spines, especially Mo Dao. He felt like death had just passed right by his body. He was the one walking in front, but he was completely fine. However, Jun Zi walking behind him turned out like this.

Nobody could fathom how and when a grown man like Jun Zi could lose all his flesh and blood in an instant. There was completely no sight nor sound of anything strange!

Everyone here was learned and had experienced a great many things in life. However, seeing something as bizarre as this still scared them greatly.

“HAHAHAHA, we’re all gonna die, we’re all gonna die!”

Mo Dao’s sorrowful voice rang out in the huge cavern. His face was twisted, as if he’d been possessed by a demon.

“PA!”

Liu Zijie sent a crisp slap savagely across Mo Dao’s face, imprinting a red palm print there. A bright sound rang out across the quiet cavern.

Mo Dao’s frenzied eyes turned clearer, as if he’d been slapped awake. Calming down slightly, he pointed to the chains behind the group coldly. “We can’t go back, can you still see the road behind us?”

“How can this be?!”

“Where did the chains go!”

“Impossible! They really disappeared!”

The entire group turned around in tandem. The chains had completely vanished and mist covered the entire area behind them. Even the most powerful military torches could not pierce through the mist!

Raising their heads, the chains at the front were still perfectly clear, spanning across the entire cavern. However, the chains behind them had disappeared.

The chains appeared to be floating in midair, and although they weren’t supported by anything, they didn’t drop at all.

The two soldiers who were guarding the rear were so frightened that cold sweat drenched their backs. They did not dare to believe that the chains right behind them could just disappear. One of the soldiers stretched a leg past the mist experimentally, but the feet only landed on thin air!

“There’s no other way, we can only continue walking forward. Perhaps it might even be possible to walk out!”

The two professors had the highest seniority and were also the most important people. Seeing this bizarre scene, they stood out to calm the crowd.

Professor Ye lowered his voice and whispered to Mo Dao, “Is there really no other way?”

“There’s no way left, only death!”

Mo Dao did not give this Professor Ye any face, nor tried to soften the blow. They were going to die no matter what, and the only question was how many of them were going to die.

At this point, everyone could only harden their scalps and walk forward, each with their own thoughts in their hearts.

The group of soldiers sent to protect the group raised their alert to the maximum level as they swept their eyes intently through the darkness like eagles.

This was supposed to be a simple mission, but it seemed like they’d met with huge trouble this time. It was also a mystery whether the soldier that they’d sent back had managed to leave as well.

If the soldier had managed to return, perhaps they could still wait until reinforcements arrived.

At this time, in the underground river, a young soldier was maneuvering a rubber boat, cruising down the calm river at.

In the originally dark passage, a layer of black mist suddenly appeared from the front, filling the entire river passage.

“Bang!”

“Hm? What’s going on?”

The boat that’d been moving neither fast nor slow seemed to have hit something, and rebounded a small distance backwards.

“AH!”

The black mist instantly covered the small boat, and a short scream rang out before everything fell silent again.

The black mist continued floating downwards, carrying an extra hint of a faint blood mist with it this time!

The only thing left was the empty boat, floating softly out of the tunnel.

Mo Dao and the rest had been walking for a long time, but the chains did not seem to have an end. All their navigation devices were malfunctioning, and even their watches could not work.

In such an environment, every passing second was an ordeal!

“Heavens! What is that?!”

“This discovery will shock the entire world!”

Liu Zijie and the rest who were walking in front all gasped loudly.

The few people walking behind them could not see what the clamor was about. But as they walked forward, everyone walked as if through a veil, and the entire group gasped with shock!

Ahead of them, countless chains interwove through the sky, covering the entire ceiling!

A thousand meter tall coffin sat calmly above the chains, while a boundless sea of blood lay directly under it!

A gigantic pile of bones was stacked into a mountain. With the sea of blood beside it, the image caused everyone’s hairs to stand on their ends!

“Those are human bones! But why are they so large!?”

“Unbelievable! Could this be the glorious era of the world mentioned by the great men of history? These must be the giants of that era!”

Everyone were shocked speechless. If the skeletons below them were rearranged, each skeleton would be at least five meters tall!

The huge bronze coffin hanging above them emanated a terrifying aura, as if it was suppressing the heavens themselves. Everyone felt as if their hearts had been gripped by something, and even breathing felt difficult.

But from the outside, the bronze coffin was still just a bronze coffin. The blood ‘sea’ was also only less than 10 meters wide. The countless bones were only over one meter tall.

The image in everyone’s eyes were not real, but they deeply believed in it right now.

“Dang!”

A loud sound like the clanging of a giant bell rang out, causing everyone to look around nervously.

“Dang!”

Another clang rang out. At this time, a huge vortex suddenly appeared beside the coffin, and a human figure as tall as the sky stepped out from within!

“What is that? A celestial being…?”

The crowd watched with open mouths and wide eyes as numerous figures stepped out of the vortex. Each figure had a heaven-suppressing aura and an extremely dominating demeanor!

The group of soldiers had already begun to doubt their own lives. ‘Didn’t they say that physical matter is the whole of reality? Then what the hell is this situation? Someone please come out and explain to me…’

Mo Dao chuckled uglily as he commented lamely, “Darwin’s coffin board is about to get smashed…”

A total of 27 clangs rang out, and the figures of 27 males and females appeared around the coffin. Only, their heads were blurry, and their features were impossible to be distinguished.

“T-that’s it?”

Seeing that the strange phenomena stopped, everyone loosened a breath of relief. When they saw that the 27 figures did not make any movements, their hope was ignited again.

“No matter what, we should be safe for now. What a pity that our devices have all malfunctioned. Otherwise, if a video of such a grand scene spread out, it would definitely shock the world!

A fervent look flashed past Liu Zijie’s eyes. It was as if he had become a pious and fanatical believer of some faith.

The group looked up at the towering mountain above them with shock and admiration. It was really a wonder how such feats were performed using ancient building techniques.

“Boom!”

“Clang!”

A powerful tremor suddenly surged out and all the chains rattled violently, clanging noisily in the spacious cavern.

“AH!”

“Save me!”

The sudden tremor had caught the entire group unawares. In that moment, a number of them felt empty air under their feet as they were thrown off the chains!

The actual height of the fall was actually only about seven to eight meters. Logically, even if one’s luck was terrible and they landed badly, it would at most result in heavy injuries. But the moment the over dozen people hit the ground, every single one of them had died instantly—without exception!

That was because everyone truly believed that they had fallen from a height of over a thousand meters, and smashed onto the ground!

In the instant they hit the ground, every single person thought that they would die for sure after falling from such a great height. As a result, their brain transmitted this message to the entire body, and so the person really died!
