Chapter 468
Along with the earthquake, dust and stones started to fall down from the top of the gloomy cave . Zhang Tie instantly turned to the fluorite lamp by opening its shade and ran out of the cave .
It was a huge underground space outside the cave which included the entire relics . The earthquake waves also reached outside there, making many people flurried .
"Is that an earthquake?" Zhang Tie became confused . Meanwhile, he had a bad premonition about the earthquake and the boom .
Zhang Tie immediately ran towards the camp of the allied forces .
Only after running for less than 20 km, another earthquake and boom happened . This time, Zhang Tie was sure that it was not a real earthquake, because its direction was different from the former one . The former one seemingly came from the underground; whereas, this time, it was definitely closer . It seemed to be coming from a place in the underground tunnel leading to the relics .
This was a faintly familiar sound to Zhang Tie .
After reflection in the relatively closed underground space, the boom could be heard across the entire relics .
When the 2nd boom arrived, Zhang Tie's face changed as he slightly changed his running direction . He didn't run towards the camp anymore; instead, he rushed towards the tunnel where it originated .
"Ah, what's up?"
"I heard two booms!"
"One was over there!"
On the way, Zhang Tie encountered some pioneers who were flurried and vacant . Some smart guys also ran towards the origin of the second boom .
At this moment, without using his rapid moving skill, Zhang Tie's running speed had surpassed 80 km/h, which was much faster than that of a wild wolf . As a result, the fluorite lamp over his waist became a flying green ray in the darkness .
With a wind, those pioneers had seen Zhang Tie rushing ahead of them, leaving behind a gradually disappearing green light ray .
At such a speed, Zhang Tie soon rushed out of the relics and entered an underground tunnel .
After entering the tunnel for a few kilometers, Zhang Tie caught sight of the pile of scattered stones and conical stalactites which fell down from the top of the tunnel . After going deeper for a few more kilometers, Zhang Tie saw injured people in the tunnel .
A poor pioneer's leg was pressed by a huge stone . Lying on the roadside, he was wailing . Zhang Tie stopped and forcefully pushed the 1-ton stone aside .
The poor pioneer was at his 30s or 40s . His injured leg had been badly mutilated, which might have been crippled . When the huge stone was pushed away, he screeched loudly once again .
"What happened . . . " Zhang Tie put a hand on his shoulder and asked him loudly .
"Thanks . . . I don't know what happened . After . . . after a loud sound, I panicked . Then, the stone rolled down here and hit me . . . "
Only after saying only few words, the pioneer felt exhausted . Having not figured out the reason, Zhang Tie further rushed ahead .
The deeper he entered, the more scattered stones and wounded people Zhang Tie saw . At least dozens of people were killed by those huge stones .
Zhang Tie stopped at a place which was only dozens of meters in width . According to his memory, this place was like the waist of a gourd .
The tunnel ahead disappeared, precisely, completely collapsed . What was in front of Zhang Tie was a 50-60 m high slope which was composed of huge stones, which were as large as house or millstone .
Zhang Tie felt icy in heart .
In a split second, Zhang Tie figured out what happened and why he felt the second boom was familiar, "the tunnel accessing to the relics has been destroyed by bomb . "
"It's an alchemist's bomb, a powerful alchemist's bomb!"
After the mice entered the cage, someone closed the cage using an alchemist's bomb .
"But what about the first louder sound from a farther distance?"
Gazing at the collapsed underground tunnel, something chaotic flashed across his mind .
At this moment, Zhang Tie heard a sound from behind . He turned around and saw Roslav and Waajid rushing towards him at a speed which was faster than that of his .
