The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2156 The Original Appearance of the Stone Platform

This is an extremely large underground cave, and you can't see the end at a glance.

The air was filled with a disgusting stench that penetrated straight into people's nostrils.

From time to time, a strange phosphorescent light flickered on the walls of the cave, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, barely able to illuminate a small area around it.

With this faint light, you can see that the walls of the cave are covered with strange-shaped rocks and criss-crossing cracks, as if it were a horrifying painting created by the magic of nature.

Not far from Matthew, the skinny old man who had been sucked into the abyss was now struggling to stand up from the ground.

His body was swaying, his face was covered with dust, and his eyes revealed a deep confusion and fear.

Obviously, this sudden change also caught the old man off guard, and he was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, in this completely unfamiliar and dangerous dark world, Matthew could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He turned his head suddenly like a frightened beast, staring at the skinny old man with sharp eyes.

His eyes were full of anger and questioning, as if he wanted to see through the other person.

At the same time, he tried his best to lower his voice, but the power contained in it was chilling. He asked in a deep voice: "What is going on? You clearly swore to me before that this restriction has been successfully opened! But what about the current situation? I paid a whole set of rare Tongtian magic treasures for this! But now, you tell me what is going on!"

When he said this, his chest heaved violently with anger and his voice trembled unconsciously.

When Matthew thought about how he had spent so much money and gone through so much hardship to collect the set of magical treasures, which were wasted in vain, and ended up with such a despairing outcome, his anger instantly reached its peak.

He couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Due to excessive force, the joints of his knuckles began to turn slightly white, showing his extreme anger and unwillingness at the moment.

After the initial shock, the skinny old man quickly regained his composure.

In this dark, damp underground cave filled with the smell of decay, the panic on his weathered and wrinkled face gradually faded away, and was replaced by a cold indifference.

It was as if the chaotic and dangerous scene around him was nothing but a passing cloud to him, not worthy of causing any ripples in his heart.

I saw him slowly raise his withered arm, and his bony fingers, like a branch that had experienced a cold winter, pointed upwards tremblingly but firmly. His lips moved slightly, and he spoke in a plain yet mysterious way, "Don't panic, just look up."

Matthew was upset by this sudden change, with a heart full of anxiety and anger that he had no place to vent. When he heard the old man's words, he was stunned at first, with a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes.

But he was a man who had experienced many hardships and had a strong mind. He came to his senses in an instant and realized that in this chaos, he might have missed something key.

So he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in his heart, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and looked up quickly and vigilantly in the direction the old man pointed.

This sight made him stand still in place for a moment, as if he was hit by an invisible spell.

His eyes widened and his pupils contracted rapidly, as if he had seen a strange scene that was enough to overturn his cognition.

The stone platform, which was originally only a few feet high and inconspicuous, now looked like a towering peak rising from the ground, stretching straight into the endless darkness. A rough estimate showed that its height was at least a hundred feet.

The top of the stone platform was vaguely visible in the dim light, still maintaining its original appearance, but its lower part was like a giant dragon winding down, extending all the way to the underground space where they were, until it disappeared into the darkness, making it impossible to glimpse its full picture.

Matthew's heart was filled with shock and confusion. He could never have imagined that this seemingly ordinary stone platform actually hid such an amazing secret.

It turned out that this stone platform had such a towering body from the very beginning, but when the palace on the ground existed, most of its body was cleverly covered under layers of bricks and stones and buildings, like a hidden giant, lurking silently, until this moment, its shocking true appearance was displayed before them without reservation.

This sudden discovery made Matthew realize that this stone platform was much more complicated than he had imagined.

"It seems that after I was locked up, that person modified the restrictions here again. Your Tongtian Lingbao was not wasted in vain, and all the restrictions on it have been opened. Come with me to the bottom of the stone platform and take a look." Seeing that Matthew did not continue to make trouble, the skinny old man said slowly.

After saying this, he raised his foot without hesitation and walked straight in a certain direction ahead.

Judging from his resolute expression, it seemed that he already had a clear goal and decision in his mind.

When Matthew saw this scene, he did not dare to delay for a moment. He hurriedly hugged Na Luo in his arms and followed closely behind the skinny old man.

At this time, after Na Luo regained his footing on Matthew's shoulder, he sent a telepathic message to Matthew: "Master, have you noticed that the weird old man seems to be speaking more and more fluently and smoothly now?"

Matthew nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Yes, that's true. Compared to before, he speaks much more fluently now."

Na Luo's eyes rolled around, and a plan came to his mind. He then said to Matthew, "In that case, let me test him."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Matthew could react, Na Luo couldn't wait to shout at the skinny old man walking in front of him: "Hey... Old man!... Old man, didn't you just say that I have something special? What is it? Can you tell us now?"

However, even though Na Luo shouted at the top of his lungs, the skinny old man walking in front did not stop.

However, he did respond to Naro's question.

He said in a lukewarm and unhurried tone: "After you leave this place, go to the birch forest, where you will find the answers you want."

His voice was neither cold nor enthusiastic, it sounded like he was talking to himself.
