Chapter 286
The famous Dragon Cave of Jinyun Country was at the center of Hidden Dragon Island . If one looked down from an airship, one would see the entrance of Dragon Cave was an underground cave that had an area of over 10 sq km .
Although there were already various pieces of evidence that there was nothing beyond the stars before the Catastrophe, humans during that age were basically under the rule of demons who masqueraded as humans . In order to better manage the people, the ruling demons influenced them to focus on mutual destruction . Therefore, people were forbidden to be too curious and explore this world . The ruling demons fabricated various lies about the world to firmly constrain people's thoughts and free will . Each person who entered school would be constantly brainwashed by all kinds of lies fabricated by the demons since they accepted education .
Among the lies that were beneficial for demon's rule, the most fundamental one was to answer a question that everybody was born with——Where are we? How's the world that we're in?
For the galaxy and the world that humans were living in, the ruling demons wanted to describe it as an isolated island in the universe and a cage on the ground . It was a wasteland among the beautiful and vast stars where no other sentient beings existed except for humans .
During the last several hundred years, this talk fabricated by demons firmly restrained people's thoughts . During the same period, mutual killing amongst humans escalated . In this lie, every resource in this world was scarce . In order to strive for these scarce and limited resources, in order to survive, humans constrained to the world started killing each other .
Among those lies was the basic composition of this world . The planet humans lived on was described as a large onion with a solid core and layers around it . Those layers were the crust and mantle with earth's core inside . Deep underground was magma that prevented all life from existing .
When the demons created these lies, they also started to use the huge resources that they controlled to stop those who didn't believe this theory from exploring the depths of their world . They blocked all facts and truths that could reveal their lies .
Based on the knowledge that Zhang Tie had learned at school, before the Catastrophe, many people had already realized the lies that demons fabricated about this world . Many people had already known that this world was actually not a large layered onion . Actually, the inside of this world was hollow . There were many independent and interconnected spaces inside this world . Even above the ground, there were many natural entrances that could lead to other worlds in their galaxy .
These natural entrances spread across the world . But the largest entrances were near the north and south poles . Almost 100 years before the catastrophe, because of advancements in science and technology, many people had expensive private airborne means of travel——planes . By plane, some brave private explorers investigated the north and south poles of this world . They had already discovered the huge entrances to the underground world near the north and south poles . Looking down at them from the sky, they were so huge that they could not be covered at all .
Not only these explorers, actually most of the countries that could launch artificial satellites during that age had already discovered this secret as they could easily capture images of these underground entrances when the satellites flew across the south and north polar points . However, because of various reasons, people who had discovered them kept it a secret .
Not until the Catastrophe arrived, with the reversal of the magnetic poles of this world and its intense geological movements, many monsters and magical beasts poured out of the underground entrances did people know that there were many secrets hidden in their world .
Since the first holy war between humans and demons, people started putting more effort into exploring the mysteries hidden beneath the world's surface and the entrances leading to other worlds . Many more entrances then started to be discovered across the world From then on, the vast underground world started to gradually reveal its secrets to humans .
The Dragon Cave on Hidden Dragon Island was also discovered as one of the entrances that led to the underground world after the first holy war . This entrance was actually a stream converging into the ocean . Although the entrance of the stream was here, nobody knew where it led to .
During the several hundred years since the Dragon Cave was discovered, each day, many people were ventured in . Among them, most were warriors who were here to form battle qi while others were adventurers who were here to look for opportunities, historical relics, and treasures in the underground worlds .
There were totally over 300,000 people in the 5 towns of Hidden Dragon Island, over 60% of them belonged to the above two kinds of people . They were all conceited and arrogant . Some had real strength, some had ambitions, and others had both . They came from all the human countries . Most of them were very experienced . Before they came to Hidden Dragon Island, they were not common figures . The lowest level among them would be like Zhang Tie who had just been promoted to level 6 and were preparing to form battle qi .
There were all sorts of powerful and talented people on Hidden Dragon Island .
With the exception of White Dragon Town which was close to the only wharf of the island, all the other 4 towns were located around Dragon Cave . Therefore, anyone willing to enter the Dragon Cave has to have permission from at least one of the four towns .
Early the next morning, Zhang Tie's cousin had brought Zhang Tie to Black Dragon Town .
After being on the island for almost three months, this was Zhang Tie's first time entering a town on the island . Previously, when he bought and set free fish every day, although he would pass by the mountainous path next to the White Dragon Town, Zhang Tie hadn't ventured into White Dragon Town even once .
Black Dragon Town was 10 times more prosperous than that in Zhang Tie had imagined . In the early morning, there were already so many people on the streets . On both sides of the street, there were all sorts of hotels, restaurants, and stores . It was so boisterous that Zhang Tie even doubted he was still in a town on the island .
However, compared to cities, most people accessing the streets here were carrying weapons like sabers and swords . Most of their weapons were so weird that Zhang Tie hadn't even seen them before . Besides people, there were no vehicles or any carriages on the streets .
Most of them were Chinese with black hair and eyes, except for a few blond white men and black men . They were all going about their own business and felt nothing strange about the scene .
On the Waii Sub-continent, Chinese and white people shared the human corridor . They established their own countries . Among those countries, white people who spoke Hebrew were mainly in the west and the north of human corridor while Chinese countries were mainly in the east and the south of the human corridor . After the first holy war, although there were still some wars and conflicts between countries and regions, as a whole, there was no animosity and opposition between human races . Besides, large-scale wars between allied nations had been forbidden .
Being threatened by demons, human beings realized their first era spanning peace in history, which was definitely a large step forward .
Watching some black tough men who were carrying terrifying zigzag sabers bargaining with the shop owners in fluent Chinese, Zhang Tie was really shocked as he ha never witnessed such a scene Blackhot City .
. . .
"Bang . . . " With a loud sound, the glass window on the second floor of a hotel more than 10 m ahead of them was broken when Zhang Tie and Zhang Su were walking on a street of Black Dragon Street . At the same time, a person flew out of the window with a miserable cry and heavily fell onto the street . Seeing this, all the passers-by kept away from him .
Less than 5 seconds after that person fell onto the ground, another person flew out of the same window with his butt coming out first and heavily fell on the ground .
When the first person flew out of the glass window, Zhang Tie had already stopped . When the second person flew out, Zhang Tie saw that the latter one was kicked out of the window .
