surprised."You can't understand it that way, this is still Earth... just not in the original space." Fang Yu replied."Oh..." Ji Rumei nodded as if she understood but didn't.Actually, she doesn't need...The southwest region is very far from the north.

And the location of the red soil plains is even at the edge of summer's heat.

Because it is seldom visited, the ecosystem here is very well preserved.

Over vast plains, the soil is a deep red and incredibly fertile.

Fang Yu and Su Changge appeared in the sky above Hongtu Plain.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was scorching on the open plain.

"Boss, the anomaly is happening in this plain area," Su Changge said.

Fang Yu remained silent, closing his eyes and releasing his divine sense.

Divine consciousness rapidly expanded in all directions. Wherever it passed, all information surged into Fang Yu's mind.

Even a tiny wormhole in the soil, a green snake crawling in the grass, or even a single stone scattered on the ground... none could escape Fang Yu's divine consciousness.

Besides what can be seen with the naked eye, aura is also important.

If one can catch a whiff of anything out of the ordinary, it may be possible to deduce the cause of the anomaly.

Su Changge, standing beside him, dared not speak a word and just waited for Fang Yu.

After a long while, Fang Yu opened his eyes.

"Big brother, how's it going" Su Changge asked immediately.

"There was no trace of abnormality, but... there was something off." Fang Yu said.

After speaking, Fang Yu flew toward the east.

Su Changge immediately followed.

The two of them walked east, but the scenery didn't change much. It was just endless red soil plains as far as the eye could see.

After walking for almost two minutes, Fang Yu suddenly stopped.

"This is it."

Su Changge looked down, it was still a plain, nothing unusual.

"Boss, I've actually had the Skywatchers check this area. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual..." Su Changge said.

"From those surveillance devices' perspective, of course they wouldn't notice anything unusual," Fang Yu said, plunging downwards towards the ground below.

Su Changge landed on the ground with him, his face changing.

A tunnel mouth, resembling a door, appeared before my eyes.

Fang Yu and Su Changge were standing in a recessed area at the entrance of the tunnel.

This opening is located below the ground.

Due to the surrounding flat terrain and the extremely small size of the depression, it is indeed impossible to see the entrance to the cave from a high vantage point.

Standing at the mouth of the cave, looking forward, all you could see was darkness.

Fang Yu looked around and noticed that the edges of the concave area were marked with broken soil and rubble.

This indicates that...the subsidence of this area probably happened recently.

Su Changge looked at the cave entrance and turned to Fang Yu, "Boss, this cave entrance..."

"Go take a look."

Fang Yu directly strode forward.

Su Changge quickly followed.

The two walked into the cave mouth together.

The interior was still pitch black.

Fang Yu raised his right hand and condensed a ball of light.

The moment the orb appeared, the space within the cave was illuminated.

Actually, it's a semi-circular tunnel.

The walls on either side were very smooth, and the material was completely different from the soil outside.

The tunnel goes straight ahead, plunging deep into the earth. It's almost two hundred meters long and there's no turn in sight.

"Where does this lead to" Su Changge couldn't help but ask.

"Just keep walking, you'll find out." Fang Yu said.

Thus, Fang Yu and Su Changge continued walking forward for about five hundred meters.

Then, there was finally a change in the situation inside the tunnel.

At a distance of about five hundred meters, the tunnel begins to slope downwards noticeably.

And this angle of inclination, the further forward you go, the more exaggerated it becomes.

By the end, it was almost a right angle.

Fang Yu simply jumped down, and Su Changge followed behind.

During the descent, Su Changge could only feel her heart pounding wildly.

A strange feeling of pressure surged over me.

"Big Brother, you... what do you think will be down there" Su Changge asked to muster his courage.

However, he did not receive any response.

Su Changge was taken aback and looked down, her heart skipped a beat.

< Originally, Fang Yu... who was below him... was already gone! >

"Damn it! No way…" Su Changge's face paled, his heartbeat quickened, and a cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Boss!"

Su Changge gritted his teeth and roared again.

However, besides the echoing sounds around him, Fang Yu still did not respond.

Now, Su Changge was completely panicked.

His face changed, and he immediately released his true energy, trying to stop himself from falling further.

"Bang!"

Su Changge's true energy erupted, wanting to ascend upwards.

But at that moment, he realized the bottom of the tunnel was like a force of gravity, pulling him down!

Even when he unleashed his full qi, he couldn't break free from this gravitational pull and continued to fall downward!

Now, he has completely lost control, simply performing freefall, plummeting towards the bottom of an abyss of unknown depth.

Su Changge didn't know where he would ultimately fall, nor what awaited him...

But in the depths, what is most likely to be seen...is probably some extremely terrifying alien creatures.

"That's it, we're doomed..."

After realizing his current predicament, Su Changge's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he felt a chill run through his entire body.

……

After falling for a period of time, Fang Yu also discovered something was wrong.

As soon as he looked up, Su Changge was nowhere to be seen.

Fang Yu wanted to stop in mid-air, but he also felt the pull from below.

"Could he have reached the bottom already" Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then turned and dove toward the pitch-black depths.

His speed was so great that the entire tunnel echoed with it.

After diving for almost five minutes, Fang Yu finally reached the bottom.

"Bang!"

Fang Yu stomped heavily on the ground, causing a muffled boom.

However, the ground did not collapse as a result.

Fang Yu looked up and ahead.

Then, his eyes changed.

After plunging down a long, dark tunnel for what seemed like an eternity, the view suddenly opened up.

The scene before me was vast and expansive, like an entirely new world.

Fang Yu first raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Indeed, there was no cliff in sight, only a sky that blazed with crimson.

This also means that... the tunnels we passed through before, should be space tunnels.

Even if it was a spatial tunnel, Su Changge should have passed through with me. Why did he suddenly disappear" Fang Yu frowned.

In his contemplation, Fang Yu was also observing the scene ahead.

Perhaps because of the reflection of the sky, everything before my eyes was cast in deep crimson.

Fang Yu's front was a wide avenue, and on both sides of the avenue were two rows of statues of different shapes.

But at the end of the avenue, there stood an ancient city gate.

This city gate is extraordinarily large, with a height of at least two hundred meters.

The walls flanking the city gate were extremely high, and on them were engraved numerous unclear patterns.

And the city gate's material did not appear to be rock, but rather some dark-colored metal.

The two massive gates of the ancient city, which should have been closed, were now flung open, facing inward towards the city.

Fang Yu looked at the scene before him, his brows furrowed. He then took out a sound transmission note and tried to contact Su Changge.

As expected, the message couldn't reach Su Changge.

This space is completely cut off from the outside.

"If he hadn't entered this place, there shouldn't have been any danger," Fang Yu thought.

Unable to get in touch with Su Changge, Fang Yu raised his head and walked towards the road ahead.

Walking on this extremely wide avenue, Fang Yu felt very small.

Even the statues beside the Great Road are dozens of meters tall.

And the figures of these statues are all grotesque.

Some had the head of a bull but their bodies twisted like earthworms. Others lacked heads altogether, possessing only immense torsos that defied classification as either reptile or bird.

Fang Yu casually glanced at these stone statues and quickly sped towards the city gate ahead.

Just when he was less than a hundred meters away from the city gate, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his dantian.

Fāng Yǔ stopped his steps and looked inward.

At this moment, at the location of the dragon-phoenix primordial source, the small golden dragon has already separated and is hovering above the phoenix primordial source, dancing and twirling. It appears quite excited.

Fang Yu once again looked toward the ancient city gate in front of him, and inexplicably felt a pull from his bloodline.

This feeling is very special and difficult to describe in words.

But it actually happened.

"This place... could it be the remains left behind by the Dragon Clan from back then!" Fang Yu's eyes flashed, he thought to himself.able to breathe freely.The appearance of Fang Yu disrupted the original order of the Xu Yuan Realm, allowing them to regain their freedom.And now, they have an even greater opportunity.This made them...
