Chapter 703: An Unknown World



Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Under such a great underground suction, Zhang Tie and that demon knight were flushed into the bottomless abyss along with the terrifying huge swirl . In such a sheer terror, even that demon knight could barely balance his body . It could not attack Zhang Tie in such a situation . If not having been granted a super great anti-resistant ability by a great number of iron-body fruits, Zhang Tie might have been collapsed in the great suction and pressure of the terrifying swirl .

In such a scene, Zhang Tie felt that he and the demon knight were just two trivial insects who were flushed into a huge toilet seat .

Zhang Tie had never imagined that he could come to such a bizarre place after casually choosing an exit from the numerous underwater turnoffs and karst caves .

The water flow flushed downwards at a high speed . Zhang Tie estimated that he moved at least 300 miles per hours in the water flow .

After being sucked in the swirl, Zhang Tie experienced a cliff-like drop like a waterfall . Closely after that, he was involved in another maze-like subterranean river course and continued to flush downwards, followed by another cliff-like drop . The demon knight was still gazing at Zhang Tie tightly from 100 m away . As it had already followed Zhang Tie in such a deep unknown space, if it lost its target and its own life, it would be a great tragedy .

Zhang Tie also sensed the demon knight's killing intent; however, he ignored it . As for Zhang Tie, he could always survive in the water with Castle of Black Iron as an auxiliary cheat wherever he was taken by the water flow .

100 m was a safe distance that Zhang Tie purposefully kept with the demon knight . If it was narrower than that distance, Zhang Tie would be attacked by the demon knight . Even in water, a knight's battle force was still very destructive . As long as the demon knight pointed towards Zhang Tie with its finger, a strand of battle qi like a bolt of a strong crossbow would penetrate through dozens of meters in the water towards him . If Zhang Tie was hit, he would spurt out blood for sure .

Although Zhang Tie's safe distance was 100 m, the actual distance between him and the demon knight was smaller than that in underwater turnoffs and curves . Therefore, 3 hours later, after making some turns in the torrents and entering some turnoffs, that demon knight finally faced a tragedy . The moment Zhang Tie entered a curve had he disappeared in front of the demon knight . Two underwater turnoffs appeared in front of the demon knight . After hesitating for 0 . 1 seconds, the demon knight chose the left one while balancing his body; then . . .



Then, he found he lost his target forever .

Zhang Tie could hear the roar of the demon knight faintly . He knew that the demon knight had lost its target . So what? In such a case, Zhang Tie preferred to not be the landmark by reappearing in the vision of the demon knight at the risk of his own life .

Zhang Tie faintly let out a sigh as he felt a bit regretful .

'But if that demon knight is suffocated here, it's also worthwhile for me . ' Zhang Tie thought .

. . .

After half an hour, Zhang Tie heard the sound similar to that of the waterfall . Before he responded, he had been ejected out of a cave by a torrent and fell in the air . . .

In a split second, Zhang Tie saw the glow in the sky and the vast shimmering water, thousands of meters away under his feet .

Zhang Tie then descended at an extremely high speed along with the water flow . Heart racing, Zhang Tie started to worry about the situation under the water . If there were stones under the water, he would be severely wounded at least, if not dead .

With a sound "bang", Zhang Tie punched towards a nearby cliff as fast as a lightning bolt . With the reactive thrust, he got rid of the torrent . At the same time, he stretched out his limbs for the greatest resistance in the air flow . When he was about 100 m above the water, Zhang Tie let out a sigh, 'Thankfully, it's bottomless here . '



Before entering the water, Zhang Tie immediately launched dozens of punches towards the water . With the reactive thrust, he abruptly slowed down . Closely after a "splash", he dove into the water .

. . .

After over 10 seconds, Zhang Tie showed his head above the water, 1,000 m away from where he entered the water . Hearing the distant splashes, Zhang Tie started to look around with widely opened eyes .

This was an underground ocean . According to the falling time and speed, Zhang Tie knew that this underground ocean was at least 1,000 miles beneath the ground's surface .

Zhang Tie had long known that there was an ocean beneath the ground . However, it was his first time to see a real one .

This was a very vast underground space . At least Zhang Tie had not seen its border when he fell off .

Taking a broad view, Zhang Tie saw some splendid waterfall falling off the dome of this underground space within dozens of miles . Zhang Tie himself was spurt out of the waterfall on his side, which was over 10 miles above the water . After falling on the water, the torrents aroused a large area of sprays, which covered 1 sq km . Being tainted by the glow in the sky, the white sprays also became red, which looked fantastic . If above ground, such a fabulous scenery would definitely become eye-catching .

The glow originated from the stones that distributed on the rocks at the dome of the space . The highest place of this space was about dozens of kilometers away from the ground surface, which looked like a huge bubble . Zhang Tie predicted that those red stones were a special fluorescent stone or crystal . Those stones were distributed in evident mineral veins and irregular stripes like fabulous huge natural luminous zones embedded in the wall .

It was between 20 and 30 degrees Celcius here . The air was not muddy here; instead, it was very refreshing . Additionally, the underground ocean was composed of fresh, translucent water . Some odd-looking fish were swimming in the water . Right now, Zhang Tie caught sight of many thumb-sized little fish whose heads were luminous and some bizarre aquatic plants like waterweeds .

'Whether that demon knight had also fallen inside here?' Zhang Tie wondered as he looked around vigilantly before diving into the water . . .

The moment he dove into the water had he seen some little luminous fish swarming up out of curiosity . They weren't afraid of Zhang Tie at all . Neither did Zhang Tie care about them; instead, he just slid faster towards the far .

When Zhang Tie fell in the water, he saw a broad land over 40 miles away . Before that demon knight appeared, Zhang Tie wanted to take a look at the land first .

It only took Zhang Tie 7-8 minutes to arrive there . Coming out of the ocean, Zhang Tie walked onto that land and the beach one step after another .

Besides fine gravels, there were also many plants on the land, some of which were huge fungi in the shape of an umbrella; some were like huge palm trees which were as high as 100 m; some were grey ferns . Additionally, there were numerous purple grasses that Zhang Tie had never seen before .

As the red luminous zones were not evenly distributed, some places were brighter, some were darker; some were even pitch-dark due to the terrain . The entire space formed a very splendid, three-dimensional light and shadow zone . In brighter places, plants would grow better; by contrast, there were fewer plants in darker places . Some places were empty .

After a few minutes, with a cracking sound, Zhang Tie broke a rotten leaf and fell into a pit . Zhang Tie was so scared that he even thought that he fell into a trap . However, after realizing that it was just a natural pit, Zhang Tie mocked himself . Lowering his head, he kicked away that dried leaf and moved out of the pit .

Zhang Tie then became meticulous . After a few more steps, he found another pit . With a smile, Zhang Tie strode over from aside . . .

After a short while, Zhang Tie stopped as he frowned . He realized that the two pits were too symmetrical . It looked a bit familiar . . .

Zhang Tie then turned back and looked at the two pits carefully as his frowns grew deeper . After moving a few steps back, Zhang Tie waved his hand while his iron-blood battle qi flew over the near ground like a tender razor . As a result, the thick rotten leaves and dust were blown away, exposing the real look of the two pits .

A huge skull appeared on the ground . Zhang Tie realized that the two pits were just the eye sockets on the skull .

Given the look of the skull, Zhang Tie predicted that it had existed here at least hundreds of thousands of years . Although only a small part of the skull was exposed above the ground, the two eye sockets were completely like the baby's bathtubs .

Zhang Tie drew in a mouth of breath as his trains of thoughts seemed to have been frozen . Because he realized that the skull belonged to a giant instead of a wild beast .

Zhang Tie then quickly moved away from the nearby rotten leaves and mud using his iron-blood battle qi . Finally, he saw a looming, small half of a giant skeleton as high as 20 m . . .

Giants were usually taken as legends by humans before the Catastrophe when their ideology was limited in a narrow space . Giants were usually carved on frescos . However, actually, giants indeed existed . The giants' skeletons were indisputable evidences . Even before the Catastrophe, humans had discovered giants' skeletons across the world . As the existence of giants would overthrow the authorized history about humans fabricated by demons and enable humans to re-evaluate themselves in pursuit of their own halos, all the giants' skeletons and discovery experiences before the Catastrophe were covered along with the truth of human history . Those bribed experts, authorities, alleged biologists, historians, media and governments would emphasize that no giants existed in this world and everything about giants were lies and legends .

However, that was real . After the Catastrophe, the truths were gradually exposed while more and more evidences were acknowledged by the humans . By then, humans discovered that their history was unimaginably brilliant . Many things that were labeled as legends and myths by the main-stream society before the Catastrophe indeed existed . . .

Before Zhang Tie came to this world, a giant' skull had been discovered in the iron ore area outside Blackhot City . At that time, all the humans in the entire Blackhot City rushed to see the giant's skull . It even shocked Andaman Alliance . Zhang Tie was told by his natural science teacher in the No . 7 National Middle School . When the teacher talked about this, he even sighed with full of emotions . Later on, that giant's skull was purchased by a mysterious figure and carried away by an airship after lying there for a couple of days . From then on, nobody across Blackhot City saw the giant's skull any longer .

Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could see a giant's skeleton here . Such a complete giant's skeleton which represented the real history being hidden by demons would be worth at least 1 million gold coins as the most expensive collection above the ground . . .
