My Waste Husband
Chapter 906

Chapter 906

Silver Visitor was standing in front of all of them, looking at the broken shield that only had one corner exposed. He took a deep breath, reached out to grab the edge of the shield, and then lifted it up.

One could see that the broken shield was stuck in the ground. Even Silver Visitor could only pull out the shield bit by bit.

With Silver Visitor's movements, the rest of the shield slowly appeared in front of them. The shield was made of bronze and covered with a lot of rust. Under the rust, there were marks. Obviously, the shield had once collided with the sharp weapon.

Gradually, the entire shield was pulled out from the ground by Silver Visitor. The shield was shaped into a rhombus and was about 60 centimetres high. Apart from the missing horn on the top, there were two more parts below that were missing.

Before Silver Visitor and others could carefully study the shield, the whole underground tunnel seemed to be triggered by some mechanism, and suddenly began to tremble violently.

Everyone could clearly sense that the ground beneath their feet was trembling, and it started sinking into the pit.

The man standing in front of Henry glanced at his feet subconsciously. As a result, as soon as he lowered his head, the ground under his feet disappeared and his whole body fell down.

So did Henry and the others. Almost at the same time, the ground under their feet all cracked.

After a short fall, they all fell to the ground. However, the ground was not flat. It was a downward slope, which made the people who fell on it continue to slide down uncontrollably.

Henry and Silver Visitor adjusted their bodies immediately. As long as they were willing, they could stop their fall at any time. However, neither of them did that. After all, their purpose this time was to see what was in this undercity dungeon.

They fell down in a hurry, and the lighting equipment on their suits was not fully turned on. Because they kept rolling, the light source couldn't provide good lighting for everyone. It was dark at the bottom of the tunnel. Even Silver Visitor and Henry couldn't see the scene in front of them clearly in this situation of high-speed movement.

This gliding continued for nearly a minute before it finally came to a stop. Other than Henry and Silver Visitor, the remaining five members of Section Nine all fell to the ground. It was fortunate that three of them had isolation clothing to protect them. The quality of this isolation clothing was not bad. As for the man and woman in casual clothes, they looked much more miserable.

Henry was calculating the distance in his head. They had slid down at least 200 metres.

200 metres underground did not sound so scary. But this was already a restricted area that 99% of the people in the world had never come into contact with.

When he completely stopped, Henry began to look around. His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness and he could see some blurred scenes.

Henry looked around and found that the bottom of the pit was particularly vast, just like the top floor of the City of Hell. He could not see the end of it.

"This... this is too big!"

Henry heard a voice that sounded a little shocked from the headset.

"What's this place?" Two lights suddenly lit up. The two flashlights were turned on, and the lights brought by the flashlights allowed everyone to see the surroundings clearly. This time, not only the

five young members of Section Nine, but also Henry and Silver Visitor could not help but open their mouths wide, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Around them was a vast flat ground. Beyond the vast flat ground were layer after layer of black stone roofs.

"Now, we seem to be standing on an altar." A man in an isolation suit swallowed his saliva.

"We are standing on the altar." Silver Visitor spoke, and it could be said that he agreed to the man's sentence.

At this moment, the place where everyone was standing was the altar that was used to worship heaven in ancient times. The altar was very large, like a whole football field. 17 metres in front of Henry, there was a staircase that was less so narrow that two people could not walk side by side. Below it, there were hundreds of stairs. Except for these stairs, there was no other way to go down.

Henry walked to the edge of the altar. Looking down, he found that he was at least dozens of metres above the ground. Around the altar, there were dense black buildings.

The reason these buildings were black was not that they could not see the sun all year round, but because they were made of bricks. They were made of black hard bricks and each of them was built in the shape of a tower.

This revelation under the undercity dungeon made Henry and others realize that this was actually a whole underground city!

Henry turned his head and glanced around. He found that the faces of the members of Section Nine, including Silver Visitor, were full of shock. Even Henry himself was also shocked.

Underground city! In a place that was several hundred metres underground, there was actually an underground city! If this news were to spread, who knew how many people would go crazy over it!

"Why is there an underground city here?"

"With the changes over time and earth movement, is the city that used to be above the ground, suddenly got buried here?"

"Which dynasty is this city from? Even if you look at Chinese history of five thousand years, there hasn't been a single dynasty that has flourished this type of tower- like structure!"

Each member of Section Nine spoke one sentence after another. They seemed to be talking to themselves as they made these guesses.

"Martial Uncle, do you have any impression of this?" Silver Visitor asked Henry through the private channel.

"No." Henry shook his head. "In my life, I have never heard of such a city. In ancient China, building such an altar was definitely not the characteristic of small towns. At least this city belongs to the first- class national capital."

"How about the capital of the North-West? The ancient country?" Silver Visitor made a guess.

"No." Henry denied Silver Visitor's speculation. "The architectural style of North-West is different. It's useless to guess. Let's go down and have a look."

"Okay." Silver Visitor nodded.

Several people came to the edge of the altar. Looking at the hundreds of stairs that almost went down vertically, the three members of Section Nine in isolation uniforms all felt their legs go weak.

This flight of stairs was extremely steep. There were no handrails on either side of the stairs, and if one wasn't careful enough, one might fall straight down.

Two members took the lead and walked down the stairs. The remaining three members walked in the middle, while Henry and Silver Visitor walked in the end.

"Instructor, the test results have come out. The density of Spiritual Qi here has dropped to the lowest value, and there is air circulation. There is another way out of here except for the entrance we came in." The man holding a tablet said.

Upon hearing this, Silver Visitor took off his helmet. As expected, his breathing was not affected at all.
