Fang was surprised by this. The detonation was so fierce, enough to make the ceiling show deep and threatening cracks. Lots of large chunks of stones fell already, and yet the ground didn't show much as a result.
This was the first ti for him to start paying attention to the place he was in. It wasn't hard to notice how special this place was, with all the pyramids that kept shining in different intensity.
"You ca here, specifically for this place, right? For what exactly? Why is this place special?" Fang walked around and could see a few arrays that William laid around still intact. He couldn't help but take a deep look at the unconscious lad on his shoulder, feeling how deeply unfathomable William was.
"The more I get to interact with you, the more amazed and puzzled I beco," Fang took a tour around for half an hour but couldn't get what this place was for.
"I can tell these pyramids are used for sothing, but I can't detect anything as spirit power is berserk here," he muttered as he failed to break apart one pyramid or take away one to inspect and analyse later.
"If so, then let give you a helping hand here," Fang didn't get anything about this place, but his instincts told him it was a very important chance. As the recent explosion placed this place at huge risk, with deep scars alongside the ceiling, Fang started to repair the entire place.
He left William on the ground and started to work out. He kept building stone pillars, linking the ground with the ceiling, while trying his best to use earth-based techniques to repair the gaps that appeared up there.
He wasn't that proficient at using earth elents like lightning, but that didn't an he couldn't help.
As he was busy doing this, the team went back to the underground city.
"It's the sa as always," Sara sighed, "every single ti he went outside alone, a disaster was left behind."
"It's our boss," Lang laughed, "if he didn't break down the world around, he wouldn't be satisfied."
"This is still bad…" Lara mumbled while watching the grand scene of damage across the entire city. The weak and old buildings that were already half damaged were now mostly lost. The buildings turned into big chunks of stones, while few only stood erect, with most of their bodies lost.
The best word to use to describe all this was utter devastation. The city wasn't best described as an old city, but as ruins, nothing more.
What she cared most about wasn't the city and buildings, but the materials dropped. "I hope monsters are dead…" she was about to head down with everyone when she saw soone coming out from the entrance to this underground space. "What are you doing here?!!"
"Lady, my lady, this…" he was one of the leaders of the big forces in the city. Yet the old man's face twitched and changed the mont he spotted the grand damage the old city here had.
"Don't worry, it happened because of a weird earthquake," she waved her hand, trying to act as a city leader who didn't fear or get worried from anything, "what brought you here? I strictly gave orders for everyone to evacuate the city and not approach it."
"It's not about here," the man seed to get jolted awake back to his senses, "the city, the city my lady, it's in a ss right now…"
The man started to explain what happened up there, making Lara's face twitch and change in colour the more she heard. The devastation that happened here seed to extend a leg up there, destroying many buildings and causing lots of panic.
"I have to go," Lara knew her presence was a must right now, "you keep looking for him, and then co up to help."
"We won't take that long," Anjie could understand the feelings Lara had right now. She was the daughter of the king, and she witnessed how her capital and ho got destroyed before, and knew how terrible such a feeling was, "go and we'll follow as soon as possible."
The team watched Lara leave in a hurry, before they started to speak about what caused such damage in the first place.
"You saw a monster down there; can a single monster bring such damage?" Ro asked in great doubt, while walking alongside everyone through the ruins. They were heading towards the hole they escaped from, but looking for it amidst all this damage wasn't easy.
They got where it was, but now it was covered by tons of rocks and rubbles. The hole was gone, and they needed to dig another one to get down there.
"If it was at the pinnacle stage, then yes, it can bring such damage," Sara paused, while she hit the ground with one of her techniques like others, "weird… This ground is far sturdier than before…"
She was right, the team had many who had earth elents in their spirits. And yet they weren't able to clear the rubbles and rocks away from the whole area.
It felt like the ground lted and rged, purified and hardened, to form a layer of hard to crack rocks. "We are progressing at least," Thomas looked at the shallow hole the team created after half an hour of digging, "hopefully this is just the outer layer."
Yet he was wrong. The entire ground was like that. The hole they could dig in re minutes wasn't even dug after one whole day!
During this period, Fang was busy with fortifying and supporting the ceiling. He never learnt that the ceiling wasn't that weak at all, in fact it beca stronger and sturdier.
He spent half a day fortifying the ceiling before he saw he did enough. "These pillars can last for a couple hundred years without any issue," he muttered to himself, while watching the twenty tres radius pillars that spanned a huge area around, "it's ti to see what this place is all about."
