Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 225 Entering the Abyss for the First Time

This exploration team is composed of hundreds of high-level mages. Almost every respectable noble in Kled is very interested in the abyss. They all sent their own high-level mages or simply participated in this exploration in person.

Only a small number of nobles participated in the exploration of the abyss with the heart of scholars seeking to explore the mysteries. Most of the nobles regarded the trip to the abyss as a gilded journey, which was also something they could brag about at banquets in the future.

Bai Hao and the high-ranking members of the Bright Moon Goddess Sect rode on the same fire eagle, but the one driving the fire eagle was no longer Xing Lili but Michelle, the former scout general who was proficient in almost all means of transportation.

Because there are great dangers under the abyss, Xing Lili and Kalia did not follow Bai Hao to explore the underground. This was also Bai Hao's mandatory requirement.

Although Kalia already possesses impressive combat power and Xinglili is also an excellent combat beast, this trip to the abyss is full of too many uncertainties.

The fact that the abyss can produce mysterious energy that can even affect elementals is already terrifying. Bai Hao even speculated that there is a realm of gods beneath the abyss. After all, only purification techniques performed with sub-divine power can break the influence.

At this moment, Bai Hao had already climbed onto the back of the fire eagle and was ready to set off, but looking at the orchestra still playing at the edge of the abyss, Bai Hao couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This is the etiquette process before the nobles set out. All Krey nobles believe that this is a necessary step before departure. The elegant string music sounds rapid and high, singing praises to the nobles' great virtue of taking risks for the people. It is also a blessing for the nobles to return triumphantly.

Finally, after a low horn sounded, hundreds of fire eagles took off from the square at the same time. The vigorous flapping of hundreds of pairs of wings caused a strong wind to blow in the square.

Xing Lili and Kalia stood silently beside the carriage they came from. The two girls clasped their hands in front of their chests. This was the standard Bright Moon Prayer. The two girls prayed devoutly to Olivia, wishing Bai Hao all the best on this trip.

The strong wind made the horses in the square a little restless. If they were not specially trained war horses, they would have broken free from the reins and run around wildly by now.

Bai Hao was looking at the approaching abyss on his fire eagle, and his anticipation was growing. Youla beside him had already started shouting. This girl from the Western Regions was simply excited by the grand spectacle of hundreds of fire eagles taking off at the same time.

"Yula, remember what I told you, right?" Bai Hao couldn't help but remind Youla as he looked at her excited face.

Upon hearing this, Youla nodded immediately and said, "When you are in doubt, look for Xiaohao. When you are in danger, hug Xiaohao. When you are confused, ask Xiaohao. When you are lacking in divine power, lick Xiaohao!"

"... Well, that sums it up very well."

Then Bai Hao looked at An Nan on the other side and said in a deep voice: "An Nan, if you feel anything special later, tell me immediately!"

Anan shook his tree canopy, looked at the bottomless darkness below and frowned, "Now I feel very uneasy, my mind is uneasy, my thoughts are uncertain, and my legs can't help but tremble..."

"Anan," Bai Hao thought for a moment and then sighed, "Is it possible that this is your fear of heights? This was the case when you rode the Fire Eagle from Nannan Village to Kled Territory."

"How can this be considered fear of heights! As a tree, I would instinctively feel disgusted if my feet could not touch the ground. As long as I can cling to the soil, I am not afraid of even a cliff!"

As Anan was speaking, hundreds of fire eagles had already formed columns in the air, and then the fire eagles they were riding began to dive into the abyss at a high speed.

The fire eagle dived down very quickly. When Bai Hao reacted, the light around him had become dim, and the air changed from the warmth under the double sun to the damp cold in the darkness.

Feeling the sudden drop in temperature, Youla couldn't help but shiver, and then subconsciously hugged Bai Hao's arm.

Bai Hao felt his arm suddenly sink into something soft and was slightly stunned, but after being baptized by Xing Lili all night, Bai Hao was no longer excited by this ambiguous thing.

So Bai Hao directly pulled his hand out of Youla's arms, and then took out a blanket from behind and covered Youla with it. After all, his thin arms had no effect in keeping warm.

Looking at Youla's pouting mouth, Bai Hao said helplessly: "I will need to write down the data by hand later."

"Oh," Youla replied softly, and then hugged Bai Hao from behind and said, "Hey, it's warmer this way, and it won't delay your writing."

After entering the abyss for several thousand meters, the area around the group of fire eagles had fallen into darkness, and the light from the cave above their heads had already become extremely dim.

Then the mages on the fire sculptures used their own lighting methods, and suddenly colorful lights of varying brightness appeared on hundreds of fire sculptures, making the group of fire sculptures move through the abyss like a colorful rainbow.

Most mages use simple magic stones for lighting, which consumes the least magic power and is the simplest and most convenient lighting method. It is also the most cost-effective option.

There are also some wizards, scholars, and nobles who like to compare with each other and act independently. They can always take out many strangely shaped objects for lighting, and the colors of the light are even more gorgeous and colorful, and even have rhythmic flickering and gradient changes.

What Bai Hao used was just the most common and practical fire element magic stone. After a small amount of magic power was injected into this magic stone, it could emit a bright yellow light and could last for up to a whole day.

Looking at the colorful light on the noble fire sculpture, Bai Hao shook his head speechlessly. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a convoy in an amusement park.

With the help of the light emitted by the magic stone and the observation technique activated, Bai Hao was carefully observing the rock walls of the abyss passage. There was nothing special about these rock walls. Most of them were limestone and soft soil mixed with plant roots.

Occasionally, Bai Hao could see some pythons that were several times thicker than his waist. These seemingly huge pythons were actually just herbivorous creatures that lived deep underground.

Ground pythons usually feed on plant roots and minerals in the soil. They can always find water sources deep underground. However, their long-term underground life has caused them to completely lose their eyesight like night demons.

At this moment, a small number of scholars have controlled the fire eagles to hover over the wall of the abyss to collect soil samples. Some have even captured some earth pythons. The scholars are trying to obtain some environmental data from the earth pythons through some special magic.

Bai Hao also asked Michelle to hover the fire sculpture next to a gray-white rock, and then carefully picked up some plant roots with tweezers. Bai Hao hoped that Anan could analyze the environment of the abyss based on the state of the plants.

After all, Anan is the undisputed god of the mountains and forests. There is no more authoritative and efficient analytical method than Anan.
