Within a dozen breaths, the stone door sank down an inch.
Several straight gaps appeared in the middle, extending outward like veins splitting stone.
Then—
With a low rumble, the entire stone slab divided into eight parts and spread outward along preset grooves.
A circular entrance appeared before everyone's eyes.
Kara lowered her head and looked down.
Below was pitch-black darkness, like an abyss with no visible bottom.
"Let's go," Ethan said calmly.
He bent down, picked up a small stone, and tossed it into the opening.
Dong—
A dull sound echoed back after a brief delay.
"About ten meters," Ethan judged. "I'll go down first. Wait for my signal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Original Power surged around his body, forming a protective barrier. Without hesitation, he leapt down.
The wind rushed past his ears.
In just a few breaths, Ethan landed steadily on solid ground.
The instant his feet touched the floor, the darkness receded.
