Chapter 945 Death Valley (5)
Chapter 945 Death Valley (5)
With Lin Fan being the one giving the order, the disciples had no choice but to follow it.
They led the way over to where the holes had opened up in the ground and where these spirit beasts had come out.
After arriving at the place, they went to a specific area and said, "This was where the holes were."
Though they said this, there weren't any actual holes in the ground.
There wasn't even any signs that the ground had been disturbed, which would have shown that there had been holes here previously.
It seemed like there was nothing backing up their claims at all.
But Lin Fan didn't doubt them as he started looking at the ground.
They were members of his Love Sect, so he wouldn't doubt them that easily. Even if they didn't have any proof, he would still look to see if what they claimed was there or not.
However, there was something else that made him take a closer look.
When they arrived in this area, there was a popup that appeared.
It had disappeared as soon as it appeared, so he had no idea where it came from.
All that Lin Fan knew was that there was something special about this area that had triggered his Appraisal Eyes, so he wanted to see if he could find that special thing.
If it was in this area, it should be related to the thing that the disciples had mentioned.
After looking around for a bit, it didn't seem like he was able to find anything with his Appraisal Eyes. It was as if there wasn't a single thing that was special about this area to trigger the power of his Appraisal Eyes.
But Lin Fan didn't give up.
Instead, he started using something else.
With one hand up and an open palm, he suddenly released something out.
The others couldn't see what he was releasing, so they thought that this was strange, but they didn't say anything in the end.
Lin Fan had done many surprising things before, so they knew that they couldn't judge him with normal standards. If he was doing something, then there must be a reason for it.
They were waiting to see just what he would find.
After standing there for a bit, the ground suddenly started to open up.
As soon as the ground opened up, the disciples couldn't help taking a step back as if they were afraid of something. It seemed that whatever had traumatized them before still had an effect on them and they couldn't get over it yet.
Huang Xie wanted to come forward to take a look, but Lin Fan raised his hand to stop him which made him look at Lin Fan with a confused look.
But that was soon explained by…
"Screech!"
There was this sound that came from the hole before small black creatures flew out.
After coming out, one could see that these were bats.
These bats flew around the area as if they were looking for something and they finally stopped looking when they saw Lin Fan standing there.
Once they found Lin Fan, they immediately started moving in formation at him.
It seemed that they were planning on attacking him together.
Huang Xie once again wanted to step forward as if he was going to take care of them, but Lin Fan also once again raised his hand to stop him.
Before Huang Xie could do anything else, the bats that had been diving at them suddenly started falling even faster. Only this wasn't the bats coming at them faster, rather…they seemed like they were diving into the ground.
It was as if there was something pulling them right into the ground.
The bats tried their best to resist this, but there was nothing that they could do against this strange force that seemed to be dragging them right into the ground.
They had no idea where this force came from, but it was just too strong to resist.
After slamming them into the ground, Lin Fan casually waved his hand. When he waved his hand, the necks of the bats suddenly bent in a strange manner.
It was as if they were suddenly twisted.
The eyes of the bats rolled back in their eyes and they all fainted. Some of them died right away, but the more resilient ones survived.
Lin Fan didn't mind this as he picked them all up and tossed them into his Minor World. Even if they were to wake up later in his Minor World, it wasn't as if they would be able to do anything in the world where he controlled everything.
He wanted to see what these bats were since they were different from anything he had seen before.
But before that, there was something else that required his attention.
Lin Fan walked over to the hole that the bats came from and looked down into it. What stared back at him was the darkness of the hole.
It was so dark that it didn't seem like there was anything down there.
At the same time, it almost seemed like this darkness was piercing into the depths of his soul.
But Lin Fan wasn't affected by this at all. The disciples were affected since their mental defenses were weaker, but this kind of mental attack was not enough to affect Lin Fan.
It seemed that there really was something special about this hole, he just couldn't tell what.
After all, even now, the hole was trying to close in on itself. The only reason that it wasn't closing was because Lin Fan was using his dirt to keep it from closing.
This was the special dirt that was filled with earth elemental energy that pushed back the edges of the hole from closing in on itself. He was using the power of gravity to push them back.
That was also what Lin Fan had used to push the bats into the ground earlier. He had stuck small specks of dirt that controlled the gravity around the bats.
After looking into the hole for a while, Lin Fan finally turned back and said to the elder, "Take them out of here and check with the others if they have seen anything similar. We need to make sure that none of our disciples are in danger. The place down there is too dangerous for the disciples."
The elder gave a simple nod before leaving to follow Lin Fan's orders.
Only Lin Fan didn't leave with him.
Lin Fan turned back to look at the hole that was in the ground and looked like he was lost in deep thought.
After looking down for a bit, he turned to Huang Xie to say, "You'll lead this group for now. You're strong enough that you can protect them, so make sure that everyone is safe."
"Master, what are you planning to do?" Huang Xie didn't agree to this as he directly questioned Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he turned back to look at the hole, then without a word, he jumped in.
Huang Xie wanted to follow behind him, but he wasn't able to reach the hole in time. With a single thought from Lin Fan, the grains of dirt started moving down with him.
As he fell down, the hole closed behind him, stopping Huang Xie and the rest from following him.
He didn't know what was down there, but he knew that it wasn't anything normal or it wouldn't have been in this place.
He wanted to see just what was at the bottom of this place.
After falling for a bit, it didn't seem like he was going to land on anything.
With the way that he continued to fall, it really felt like he was about to reach the center of the planet.
But eventually there was a faint light that appeared in front of him.
It was a very faint light, but it was enough for him to tell that there was an end to this fall.
With a thought, Lin Fan started to slow down.
When he went through the exit of this tunnel, he completely came to a stop, flying there in the air.
It was a bit of a strain for him since the gravity in this place seemed like it was stronger than before. It seemed like the gravity was much greater than it was on the surface, so it was dragging him down onto the ground.
But Lin Fan was able to negate it with the gravity from the grains of dirt.
Though if it wasn't for the fact that his physique was strong in the first place, he might not have been able to resist the strain that came with cancelling out this increased gravity.
As he floated there, Lin Fan looked down at the ground under him with the faint light in this place.
He didn't know where this faint light was coming from, but he was able to see a few things under him. Though since the light was so faint, it was hard for him to see everything.
Even trying to use his night vision didn't work since it was as if there was something that was blocking him from seeing what was beneath him.
He could make out that there were a few structures and what seemed to be a forest.
It seemed that there was an entire world in this underground space.
Though this place was also completely cut off based on the roof that was above him.
As for how wide this place was…
He couldn't see the walls at the edges of this place.
