Chapter 1219

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears. Su Xiao was in a state of free fall, and everything around him was pitch black. According to his previous judgment, this vertical downward shaft was at least dozens of meters deep.

The Slaughter Dagger appeared in Su Xiao's hand. The dagger flipped, and while he held the dagger backhanded, he stabbed it into the metal wall, with the blade pointing downward.

Zzzzt~

The Slaughter Dagger drew a vertical downward slash on the metal wall. Su Xiao placed one foot against the metal wall, and his falling speed significantly decreased.

Because Su Xiao's speed decreased, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was in free fall above, immediately slammed into Su Xiao. Su Xiao supported Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang with one arm, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned its head to bite the hem of Su Xiao's windbreaker. Su Xiao let go of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang successfully hung onto Su Xiao.

Su Xiao's body became heavy, and his falling speed significantly increased. This stupid dog Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had gained a few pounds recently.

Just after catching Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu fell from above. Su Xiao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with his left hand and bent his right arm in front of his chest. Just as Amu fell in front of Su Xiao, Su Xiao's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Amu's horn.

Zzzzt!

The sparks bursting from the Slaughter Dagger were even more obvious. Amu was originally very heavy, and it was also grabbing Alisa Herbert, although Alisa Herbert's weight was only over 90 catties.

Previously, Alisa Herbert was still screaming loudly, but now she had no sound. Su Xiao looked closely and found that Alisa Herbert had been scared unconscious.

To be precise, Alisa Herbert was between coma and consciousness. She didn't completely faint due to the falling sensation. Sometimes she would wake up suddenly, but upon discovering that she was still falling, she would roll her eyes and faint again. This had happened several times back and forth, and in the end, Alisa Herbert even doubted if she was dreaming.

The honest cow Amu endured the urge to throw Alisa Herbert away. In its view, the "little thing" in its hand was too strange, and it had to hold this "little thing" very carefully, otherwise it would crush the other party to death.

In fact, fainting couldn't be blamed on Alisa. Half of it was from being scared, and the other half was from being pinched by Amu. For Alisa, who had stayed at home for her "whole life," today's events were too stimulating, but she didn't know that the current situation was just the "opening," and there were more stimulating things waiting for her later.

The falling speed of Su Xiao and others significantly decreased, but at this moment, a figure wearing silver armor fell from above, and the other party grabbed Amu's horn.

"Moo!!"

Amu roared angrily. Although the horn was its weapon, it could also be considered its vital point. If an enemy grabbed its horn, it would lose a layer of skin even if it didn't die.

It was fine for Su Xiao to grab its horn, but Amu couldn't tolerate being grabbed by Goss.

Cold air surged on Amu's horn. Goss's palm went numb, and he hurriedly let go. Just after letting go, he found a pair of angry cow eyes staring at him.

Goss continued to fall downward, but the action of grabbing Amu's horn just now slowed his falling momentum.

Because Su Xiao used the Slaughter Dagger to slow down the falling speed, Goss soon disappeared from his line of sight, falling into the darkness below.

The fall continued. After falling for about five seconds, Su Xiao's brows furrowed. He had tested the depth of the hole with a stone earlier. According to normal circumstances, he should have reached the bottom by now.

Just as Su Xiao felt puzzled, a loud bang came from below; it was Goss reaching the bottom.

Su Xiao's arm lifted, pulling the Slaughter Dagger out of the metal wall, and his falling speed gradually increased.

Bang!.

Amu landed first. Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sat on Amu's back, and everything around was pitch black.

At this depth, the surroundings could only be described as pitch black. Su Xiao pulled a military glow stick from his waist and bent it. The "peroxide" and "ester compounds" inside reacted, and the energy was transferred to the fluorescent dye, emitting blue fluorescence.

With the help of the not-so-strong blue fluorescence, Su Xiao began to observe the situation around him. The hole he was in was similar to a vertical shaft, cylindrical in shape, and the surrounding walls were completely metal-structured. He didn't know how the Saint-Sodin Kingdom's technological level built this kind of metal shaft.

Under Su Xiao's feet was a large iron plate, and there was no exit on the surrounding metal walls. This place was like the bottom of a water cup.

"Dead end?"

Su Xiao began to observe the surrounding metal walls. Except for large areas of red rust, he didn't find anything. He tried knocking to find the mechanism, but still had no harvest.

After about a dozen seconds, Su Xiao determined that there was no mechanism around. If it weren't for the hidden side quest, he would have suspected this was a trap set by the old King.

"Your Highness the Princess, are you okay?"

Goss was trying to "wake up" Alisa Herbert. Alisa was squatting on the ground, her eyes full of confusion. That expression clearly meant: 'Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? Do I have to keep squatting?'

Obviously, Alisa Herbert was stunned.

Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the stunned Alisa Herbert. He also squatted on the ground and knocked on the metal floor below.

Thump, thump, thump...

"It's empty."

Su Xiao punched the metal floor under his feet. With a creak, the metal floor under his feet suddenly sank a few centimeters.

"So that's it."

Su Xiao understood what was going on. They didn't enter a dead end, but got stuck. According to his judgment, the metal shaft they were currently in should be an extremely deep elevator, and the metal plate under their feet was the elevator tray. Due to long-term disrepair and the humid environment underground, the metal rusted, so this tray got stuck in mid-air.

Moreover, Su Xiao didn't enter under the throne through conventional means. He destroyed the throne and jumped down directly, so the mechanism below didn't start.

If it were according to the normal process, first the throne mechanism would be opened, then the metal tray would rise, and while closing the throne, the metal tray would slowly descend.

"Amu, jump."

Su Xiao's words made Amu a bit confused, but it instinctively jumped up.

Boom!

Amu's feet stepped on the metal plate. With a creak, a difficult metal twisting sound came, and the entire metal plate descended by about half a meter.

"Continue."

Amu jumped high, followed by a heavy stomp.

Crack!

The sound of metal breaking came from below, and the entire metal plate shook.

Zzz...

A harsh friction sound appeared under the metal plate, and the metal plate began to descend slowly. The initial speed was fine, but after descending for a period of time, the rust on the mechanism below should have been polished away, which caused the metal plate to descend faster and faster.

If the metal plate were just in free fall, it would be fine, but there should be bearings or something below it, which caused the falling speed to continue to climb.

Su Xiao was now like being in an elevator that had an accident, and the elevator was falling at an accelerating rate.

"Good luck."

Su Xiao glanced at Goss and took out a short stick from his storage space. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu on the side immediately understood. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hugged Su Xiao's left leg with its four legs, and Amu grabbed Alisa Herbert with one hand and Su Xiao's right leg with the other large hand.

Su Xiao squeezed the short stick in his hand, and several sections popped out from both sides of the short stick, with the tips on both sides forming a sharp cone.

Ding.

After extending, the short stick was like a horizontal bar, propped against the metal walls on both sides. The muscles on Su Xiao's arm holding the metal stick bulged, his feet were empty, and his falling speed plummeted.

Goss, standing on the metal plate, had his mouth twitching, looking up at Su Xiao and others. The distance between the two sides was getting further and further, and he always felt that the scene before him was very familiar.
