Chapter 1227: Why again
The wind whistled in Su Xiao's ears as he plummeted down, straight into the pitch darkness. According to his estimate, this vertical shaft was at least tens of meters deep.
A short sword appeared in Su Xiao's hand and immediately stabbed into the metal wall.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh*
A vertical cut appeared on the metal wall. Su Xiao placed one foot against the wall, causing the speed of his fall to decrease significantly.
When Su Xiao slowed down, Bubtny, who had been calmly falling down, grabbed Su Xiao with his paws, and Su Xiao himself took Bubtny by the scruff of the neck with one hand, and to make sure not to fall, Bubtny bit the hem of Su Xiao's windbreaker.
Su Xiao's fall rate had increased significantly due to the extra weight, and as luck would have it, just recently Bubtney had gained a few extra pounds...
As soon as he caught Bubtney, Amu was only a meter above him. Su Xiao tightly gripped the hilt of the short sword with his left hand, let go of Bubtni and bent his right hand in front of him. As soon as Amu was at his level, he immediately grabbed the horn with his right hand.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh!..*
The sparks from the short sword began to fall down in a pile. Amu himself was already very heavy, but in addition to him, he also had Eliza Herbert on his hands, although she did not weigh much — about 50 kilograms.
When they had first jumped down, Elise had screamed incessantly, but now there was no sound from her. Su Xiao took a closer look at her and realized that she had fainted from fright.
In fact, she was somewhere between a coma and wakefulness. She would sometimes wake up suddenly, but when she saw them still falling, she would lose consciousness again. This had happened several times already, which made her seriously think that she was dreaming.
Amu, on the other hand, was suppressing the urge to throw Elise away. In his opinion, this fragile princess was too strange, and he had to hold her very carefully, otherwise he would just turn her into a cake with one careless move.
In fact, it wasn't Elise's fault that she was constantly losing consciousness. She was terrified by this sudden leap into the abyss and was afraid of Ama. For a princess who had spent her entire life at home, such events were too exciting, but she didn't know yet that this was just the beginning.
The speed of Su Xiao and the others ' fall started to slow down, but at that moment, a figure in silver armor fell on them and grabbed Amu by the horn.
— Moo-oo-oo!!! Amu immediately roared angrily. Although the horns were his weapon, they were also his weak point.
The fact that Su Xiao had grabbed his horn, Amu could still ignore, but the fact that an outsider had grabbed his horn...
A chill ran down Amu's horns, and Goss's hand immediately froze. Almost immediately, he let go of Amu's horn due to his instincts, only noticing a pair of angry bull eyes at the end.
Goss continued to fall down, but his speed of falling was slightly reduced due to this incident.
As Su Xiao was still using Slaughter to slow down, Goss disappeared from his sight very quickly.
After about five seconds, Su Xiao frowned. He had previously tested the depth of this vertical shaft with a rock and according to his calculations they should have already reached the bottom.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking this, a loud clang rang out from below.
Goss had obviously just hit rock bottom.
Su Xiao immediately pulled the Slaughterhouse out of the wall, causing the speed of its fall to gradually increase.
*Boom!*
Amu landed first. Su Xiao and Bubtni landed on Amu's back.
It was pitch black all around them.
It was so dark in here that it was impossible to see the outstretched hand in front of him. Su Xiao took out a military fluorescent wand from his inventory and broke it open. The peroxide inside began to react with the solution and the wand began to emit blue light.
With this wand, Su Xiao began to look around. The cave they were in was like a vertical cylindrical shaft, and the surrounding walls were completely made of metal. Given the Saint Sodin Kingdom's technological level, it was unknown how they were even able to build such a metal vertical shaft in the first place.
There was a large iron slab under Su Xiao's feet, and not a single passage could be seen around him.
They seemed to be standing at the bottom of the cup.
— Dead end? Su Xiao muttered as he scanned the metal walls around him, but he couldn't find anything other than metal with red rust on it.
After tapping on such a metal and carefully examining it, he still couldn't find anything that would make it stand out from ordinary metal.
After about ten seconds, Su Xiao made sure that there were no traps in this place. If it wasn't for the hidden side quest, he would have seriously considered that this was a trap prepared in advance by the previous king.
— Your Highness, are you all right? Goss asked, and tried to wake Elise, who was crouched down with a confused expression on her face. You could almost read on her face, "Who am I? Where am I? Where are we going? Should I squat down?»
She was confused.
Su Xiao ignored her and squatted down and knocked on the metal floor.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
— It's empty, " Su Xiao muttered and slammed his fist on the metal floor. With a creak, it sank a few centimeters. "I see.
They weren't at a dead end, they were just stuck. According to his assessment,the metal shaft they were in was the shaft of an extremely deep elevator. The metal under his feet was the top of the elevator. Due to the humid underground environment, the metal rusted, so this elevator was stuck somewhere in the middle.
Furthermore, Su Xiao had entered under the throne in a very unusual way. He cut down the throne and jumped straight into the shaft, so the elevator wasn't activated.
If he had decided to go down as planned, the elevator would have eventually come up and come down with them.
— Amu, jump in.
Su Xiao's order confused Ama a little, but he still jumped up.
*Boom!*
A creaking sound rolled along with a screeching sound along the vertical shaft, and a moment later, the floor below them sank by about half a meter.
— One more time.
This time Amu jumped high.
*BOOM!*
The metal began to twist with a savage screech, and the floor began to shake.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh...*
A soft rustling sound began to reverberate from all directions, and the metal plate began to slowly descend. Because of the working insurance, the elevator did not fall very quickly at first, but as soon as it was completely destroyed, the elevator began to gain more and more speed.
It would be fine if the elevator just fell freely, but because of the bearings, the falling speed only increased.
Right now, Su Xiao felt like he was in an elevator that had taken off and was falling faster and faster.
— Good luck, " Su Xiao said as he glanced at Goss and took out a short wand from his inventory. Bubtni and Amu, who were standing at his side, immediately understood what he wanted to do.
Bubtny hugged Su Xiao's left leg with his four paws, while Amu threw Elise over his shoulder and grabbed Su Xiao's right leg with his big hand.
Su Xiao clenched the short stick and it began to quickly break up into several pieces, and the tips of these pieces quickly formed sharpened cones.
*Ding*
In the blink of an eye, the elongated short stick became like a horizontal crossbar that rested on the metal walls on both sides. The muscles on Su Xiao's arms bulged, but the speed of his fall was greatly reduced.
The corners of Goss ' mouth twitched as he looked at Su Xiao and the others. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
This scene seemed very familiar to him.
