Chapter 2800: Chapter 2801: Secret Passage
"Whoa!"
Lin Yiâs night vision is extremely strong, and with the moonlight falling from the sky, he discovers that what is pouncing towards him is a giant wild dog.
But its size is like that of an adult lion, with thick brown fur on its body.
The fangs and claws on it glisten with an ominous cold light.
Without a doubt, a single strike would be enough to tear an ordinary person apart.
Lin Yiâs reaction is lightning-fast; he jumps back a step, dodging the wild dogâs attack.
But the latter is quick too, with bared fangs, it rushes at Lin Yi again.
This time, Lin Yi doesnât dodgeâa black dagger appears in his hand, and he stabs it accurately!
Squish!
The dagger pierces through its skull, driving straight into its head.
The dog, massive in form, struggles only briefly before dying under Lin Yiâs blade.
"This dog thing, its head is pretty tough."
"Itâs not that its head is tough, itâs that youâre strong." Luyu says:
"Itâs the first time Iâve seen someone like you, drilling into someoneâs skull."
"Mainly wanted to test skills, see what level weâre at." Lin Yi says:
"E-level people can roughly handle it, but if weâre not careful, itâs easy to get hurt."
"Thatâs why very few people are willing to take this route; itâs not worth the effort."
"Give it a shot, see where it leads, maybe weâll get a good result."
After dealing with the wild dog, the group continues forward.
About half an hour later, the group stops.
Luyu looks at Lin Yi, "If I remember right, the place marked on the map should be here."
Lin Yi frowns deeply; the location is indeed correctâtheyâve arrived at the marked spot.
But this place seems no different from others, with no path to follow.
Thus, thereâs no talk of safety.
"Continuing forward might bring more danger," Luyu says:
"Although our skills can protect us from harm, in the end, itâs not worth the trouble, no need to create problems for ourselves."
"It shouldnât be like this; surely thereâs another way here that we havenât found,"
The group stays silent, waiting for Lin Yi to continue.
Watching to see if there are new plans.
"Be careful; check the surroundings and see if thereâs anything suspicious."
"Got it," the first group responds.
After going back and forth, after twenty minutes, the first group withdraws.
"Boss, the surroundings look the same, nothing different," Zhang Chaoyue says.
Lin Yi wrinkles his brow deeply.
The map markings start off strangely.
Now that theyâre here, yet canât find any path, it puzzles Lin Yi.
According to the systemâs consistent style, it wonât make errors here.
"Lin Bro, donât worry, weâll keep looking elsewhere. Weâll dig three feet into the ground to find it for you," Xiao Bing says.
If it were just the first group, Xiao Bing wouldnât say this.
But with the Yanlong team here, if Lin Yiâs judgment fails, it might impact his leadership.
The first group doesnât want to see such things happen.
"Wait!"
As the first group is about to leave, Lin Yiâs eyes brighten suddenly with an idea.
"I know where the problem is."
Everyone looks to Lin Yi, waiting for him to continue.
"The mapâs marked route shouldnât be on the surface; otherwise, after all these years, with people frequently coming and going on this island, it wouldâve been discovered."
Listening to Lin Yi, everyone understands his intention.
"Is the secret path underground?" Luyu asks.
"Itâs possible,"
Lin Yi says:
"Letâs try digging; if we canât find it, weâll return and regroup with the other Yanlong members."
"Alright."
Finally, Lin Yi recalls the systemâs map in his mind.
Reconfirming the location, Lin Yi says:
"Itâs roughly right here."
"I feel like weâre tomb robbing," Zhao Yunhu laughs:
"Had I known, Iâd have brought a Luoyang shovel."
"Alright, nowâs not the time for jokes; letâs start digging."
"Okay."
Shovels are essentials in everyoneâs tactical backpack.
The size is somewhat small, not easy to use, but the hardness is guaranteed.
With their physical strength, it doesnât take long to dig a pit about a meter deep.
"Not quite there, keep digging."
Under Lin Yiâs command, the first group is full of vigor, quickly digging over two meters deep.
"Damn!"
Shao Yunfeng digs down and suddenly feels the ground give way, falling through.
"Weâve dug through, thereâs really a secret passage here!"
Everyone is overjoyed, feeling like theyâve found treasure.
"Sister Yu, letâs have someone keep watch up here to avoid any mishaps."
"Alright."đđđđđ¨đ˛đđđ¨đŻđđ.đđźđş
Luyu calls a male team member, and Lin Yi leaves Zhang Chaoyue behind to handle the rear guard duties.
Despite Zhang Chaoyueâs wish to go down, in the first group, orders canât be resisted, not even room to bargain, so he says nothing, just nods and stays behind.
Arranging everything, Lin Yi and Luyu jump down into the underground passage.
Zhang Chaoyue and Yanlongâs members collect some branches nearby to cover the entrance, best reconstructing the terrain.
If not examined closely, the anomaly wouldnât be noticed.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and others have entered the secret passage.
As they arrived here, everyone falls silent, overwhelmed by the intense shock.
The passage is surrounded by massive stone blocks.
Lin Yi calculates, finding each stone is at least twenty meters, seamlessly connected with others.
Lin Yi takes out a scalpel to test gaps but finds he canât wedge it in.
"Sister Yu, have you seen anything like this on the island?"
"Iâve been to the Kandaya Ruinsâ outskirts; itâs brick wall-constructed but much rougher than here."
"I feel this place resembles the pyramids," Yu Siying says:
"Theyâre also built with similar smooth stones, and the mysteries of the pyramids remain unsolved."
"Are you suggesting the pyramids were built using native technology?" Sui Qiang asks.
"Just a guess, canât be sure," Yu Siying says.
Lin Yi gazes ahead, silently.
Though tunnel exploration isnât the missionâs focus, being here lets him feel the islandâs nativesâ fearsome and unfathomable wisdom more directly.
