Chapter 829: Chapter 342 Prehistoric Civilization Chapter 829: Chapter 342 Prehistoric Civilization The group of armed extremists didn't just rashly decide to turn this cave into their second trap location and install 50 tons of explosives; they had someone analyze the geological structure of the place. In the eyes of an expert, the cave was incredibly sturdy, unlikely to collapse, which is why they set up the second ambush here.

Indeed, the choice by the armed extremists proved to be correct. Despite the severe explosion of 50-ton high explosives in the outside passage, even causing the entrance to collapse, the explosion and collapse were contained at the entrance and didn't reach the inside of the cave.

The huge explosion in the passage generated a large amount of gunpowder, smoke, and rock dust, which backfilled into the cave under great pressure, like a hurricane sweeping through swiftly, engulfing everyone in the cave in dust in merely a moment.

People inside the cave, startled by the loud explosion, all jumped up, including those who had been asleep. As soon as they opened their eyes, they discovered that the cave was filled with dust and they were having difficulty breathing. Also, due to the residues of explosives in the dust, their eyes were streaming with tears, their vision was blurred, and they could no longer see their companions clearly; at the same time, their ears were ringing from the blast, making it hard to hear any sounds from outside.

One confused person yelled in panic, “Brother Jim, where are you? What exactly happened here?”

Jim shouted, “Everyone, don't panic, don't be afraid, I'm right beside you. The Destroyer just invaded us, but I've already activated the trap and blown up the passage outside. The explosion and the dust are from when the passage was destroyed.”

Someone frantically said, “Brother Jim, with the massive force of that explosion, could our cave also collapse?”

Jim cursed, “Do you see this cave collapsing?”

Although their vision was obstructed by the dust, everyone realized that the cave showed no sign of collapsing, nor were there falling rocks, which finally put their minds at ease.

Then another person curiously asked, “But wasn't the Destroyer supposed to be heading to Base 13 first? Why would he come here instead? Have we been exposed, or did the Destroyer's attack happen sooner than expected?”

Jim snorted coldly and said, “What's the panic? The Destroyer got caught in the explosion and is now buried under millions of tons of rock. He's definitely dead, and our task is completed. What's there to worry about if we managed to complete our mission ahead of schedule?”

It then dawned on these people that their main objective was to deal with the Destroyer. Now that the Destroyer was dead, their mission was accomplished, and there was no need for panic. Some had witnessed the violent explosion and collapse at the entrance and believed there was no chance anyone could have survived.

Jim said, “Though I don't know exactly what happened outside that led the Destroyer here, he's been destroyed already, so let's quickly get out of here!”

Someone asked, “Brother Jim, do you know the exit route?”

Jim replied, “Of course I do. The High Priest has already told me how to leave. Otherwise, how could I lead you out of here?”

Seeing that the High Priest had left a way out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes, the High Priest was a god, and a god would not deceive his followers. Moreover, while the outside passage had collapsed, there was still airflow in the cave without any suffocation, indicating that there was at least one other path leading outside. Then they roughly pulled up the seven hostages from Dream Island who had been awakened by the explosion and followed Jim, starting to crawl through the cave above to leave the cave from the other side.

In the darkness, the Mechanical Sparrow also hopped along behind the group, tracking the armed men by the sounds ahead to find out where they were exiting the cave, in order to facilitate Yan Fei's rescue of the hostages.

Just then, as the dust in the cave slowly cleared, the Mechanical Sparrow discovered a small hole where the entrance of the cave had been before. The armed men, only focusing on following Jim and thinking about how to safely leave, had not noticed this new cave that had appeared due to the violent explosion.

Yan Fei had not been particularly concerned about this hole at first; after all, caves were everywhere, and it wasn't strange for a big explosion to create a new one. He was about to continue controlling the Mechanical Sparrow to follow those armed men. But just then, a strange silvery-white light flashed inside the cave, which was caught by the surveillance camera of the Mechanical Sparrow. This light was very unusual, something Yan Fei had never seen before. Curious, he didn't have the Mechanical Sparrow continue tracking the armed men but instead controlled it to fly into this small hole.

What Yan Fei did not expect was that upon the Mechanical Sparrow flying through the small opening, it found not a small cave or tunnel similar to the outside but a much larger cave, at least ten times larger than the one above. This cave was no more than a meter below the other one, separated by a layer of hard rock. In the violent explosion, part of that rock layer had been dislodged, revealing the Underground Cave beneath.
