"Old Zhang, stop joking. Look up."

Zhuge Qing suddenly interrupted their argument.

His voice lacked its usual composure and even carried a hint of barely suppressed shock.

Zhang Chulan was taken aback, and following Zhuge Qing's gaze, slowly raised his head.

William, who was originally prepared to make some harsh remarks, also subconsciously raised his head.

At this moment, everyone's movements froze.

Directly above this underground shoal.

There is no dome, and no rocks.

Instead, it was... a vast, boundless, pitch-black void.

At the very center of that void.

A huge altar carved from pure white jade.

It was so magnificent and enormous that it made one feel like an ant, radiating a soft yet dazzling golden light.

Just like that, quietly, unaffected by any gravity...

Floating in the void!

Golden light cascaded down from the altar like a waterfall, illuminating the people below.

"Be good..."

Zhang Chulan wiped the water off his face and stared blankly at the floating miracle.

His Adam's apple bobbed laboriously, and he uttered a dry, labored sigh:

"Those little devils have quite the grand scheme..."

Chapter 392 Free Climbing? Finally, the Guide to Immortality is revealed!

Water vapor rises from the shallow underground beach.

The two groups of people looked like dumplings just pulled from a soup pot, dripping water.

They all craned their necks, staring blankly at the incredible white jade altar above them.

Zhang Chulan wrung out the seawater from the hem of his clothes while opening his mouth into an "O" shape:

"Was this Japanese construction team contracted by aliens? How is this thing floating in the sky? Will Newton be able to hold it down in his coffin?"

Wang, standing next to him, swept his wet hair back, shook the water droplets off his hands, and replied irritably:

"Old Zhang, don't mention Newton on this wretched island. The old man has no jurisdiction over this area of ​​the sea."

"But this is indeed a tricky matter. This altar is probably a thousand meters high above us. We can't possibly each grow a pair of wings and fly up there, can we?"

Wang Ye's words hit a nerve.

Everyone here is a trained fighter; jumping over ten meters high is no problem for them.

But to say that it can take off from the spot and rise 100 meters high is pure wishful thinking, unless it's someone like Zhang Tianyi who is abnormal.

Not far away, the American team also looked gloomy.

William, his face ashen, patted the tactical uniform that was now completely ruined.

"Fake!"

William cursed under his breath and kicked a piece of gravel hard.

He looked up at the high altar, then gave Zhang Chulan a gloomy glance.

If it weren't for that bastard's trick underwater that electrocuted his propulsion system...

He has already led his team into the sky and seized the [Longevity Elixir]!

"Captain, what do we do now? All our equipment is useless."

Hank rubbed his two thick arms, looking at the altar above his head with a frustrated expression:

"How about I try to break the supporting column underneath and make it fall down?"

"Is your brain filled with shit?!"

Lucy rolled her eyes and retorted without hesitation:

"This is clearly an altar suspended in mid-air using special methods. Where did the supporting pillars come from? Use your brain!"

While the American team was complaining to each other, Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye were squatting on the ground scratching their heads.

Zhuge Qing, who had been mostly silent, suddenly brightened up.

He didn't stare intently at the altar above his head like the others.

Instead, he turned around and carefully examined the "boundless void" around him.

"That's interesting."

Zhuge Qing's lips curled up slightly.

He bent down and picked up a pebble the size of a fist from the shallow water at his feet.

I weighed it in my hand.

Then.

Without even saying a word, he hurled the rock fiercely into the dark "void" directly in front of him!

"Whoosh!"

The stone flew out with a whooshing sound.

"Old Qing! Why are you taking your anger out on a stone?" Zhang Chulan was startled by his action.

However, Zhang Chulan hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Clap!"

"Crackling..."

A crisp impact sound came from not far ahead!

Immediately following was the sound of gravel rolling down.

The sound was particularly jarring in the empty underground cave.

Everyone in the room froze in their tracks.

William turned his head and stared intently at the direction in which Zhuge Qing had thrown the stone.

Did you hear that?

Zhuge Qing dusted off his hands, turned around with a smile, and looked at everyone:

"There isn't that much emptiness in this world."

He pointed to the area around him, so dark it seemed to absorb all light, and slowly revealed the answer:

"It's just a clever visual illusion."

"The surrounding walls are probably made of a special black rock ore that can absorb light and has a very low reflectivity."

Furthermore, the blinding golden light shining down from the altar created a stark contrast between light and shadow.

Zhuge Qing tapped the darkness with his folding fan:

"Our eyes deceived our brains, making us believe that the altar was suspended above a bottomless abyss."

"But in reality..."

Zhuge Qing quickly walked to the edge of that "void" and reached out to touch it.

The palm stopped in mid-air, clearly pressed against a hard stone wall!

"This altar is actually embedded in the steep rock walls on all sides!"

"The wall is right here, and so is the road."

Holy crap!

Zhang Chulan jumped up and rushed over, mimicking Zhuge Qing by touching the wall twice.

The rough, rocky texture was a tangible sensation that came through my palm.

"Incredible! Old Qing, you have such a keen eye."

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked up at the steep cliff hidden in the darkness.

Although it is almost vertical.

However, the rock face is covered with various weathered cracks and protruding rocks.

For these superhumans, this was practically a natural climbing wall!

"What are you all standing there for! Brothers, get out of here!"

Zhang Chulan didn't hesitate at all. He grabbed the crack in the rock with both hands and, like a nimble monkey, darted up several meters in a flash.

That climbing speed, that decisiveness in seizing the initiative.

Wang, who was watching from behind, shook his head.

"That kid, as soon as he sees something good, he becomes more agile than anyone else. Why didn't I see him swimming so fast in the water just now?"

Wang Ye sighed, stretched his shoulders, found a suitable foothold, and began to climb.

Zhang Lingyu remained silent; though her white clothes were soaked, her movements remained lithe and graceful.

Like a white crane soaring through the air, its toes lightly touched the protruding rocks as it quickly followed.

Chen Duo, like a nimble kitten, followed closely beside Zhang Lingyu, taking each step very steadily.

"Fuck! Don't let them beat us to it!"

William became furious when he saw this.

They couldn't even bother maintaining their pretentious facade anymore.
