Chapter 122: It couldn’t be.

After Su Chen completely moved the stone away, he once again surveyed the cave in front of him.

“Clearly, someone left traces here and even covered it with stones,” he noted.

Su Chen examined it carefully.

Inside, there was a building ladder that seemed to have been unused for a long time.

“Should I go down and take a look?” he wondered.

Su Chen hesitated a bit.

This was because a figure emerged in his mind.

That was the corpse inside the magma.

Could it be that this passage was created by that creature?

It was not impossible.

“It seems that there shouldn’t be any of those creatures alive,” he concluded.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Chen decided to go down and take a look.

After all, he believed the treasure chest was definitely inside here.

Even if it was a Black Iron Rank treasure chest, it was worth the risk for Su Chen.

Thinking of this, Su Chen did not hesitate.

He opened his phone and activated the electric vehicle function.

He walked down towards the building ladder.

Su Chen looked around.

He did not notice anything wrong.

The walls around him were somewhat rough.

It seemed that they were in a hurry when constructing this place.

“Was there no time?” he questioned as he walked, feeling puzzled.

However, there was no danger around.

Su Chen tested the building ladder and found that there were no traps or anything.

“But this building ladder is way too long, right? I still haven’t reached the bottom?” he complained as he walked.

The building ladder here was incredibly long.

Su Chen had already walked at least a hundred ranks of steps.

Yet, he still had not reached the bottom.

He wondered why they had dug so deep.

But since he was already here, Su Chen naturally would not give up.

Two hundred levels…

Three hundred levels…

Four hundred levels…

That’s right, he still hadn’t reached the bottom.

Su Chen felt like he was going to lose it.

But having come this far, he felt a bit reluctant to turn back.

He could only continue going down.

“Can’t see the top anymore?”

At that moment, Su Chen looked up and realized he could no longer see the cave entrance.

Although it seemed like he was going straight down, the entrance was gradually becoming more offset.

Eventually, he could no longer see the entrance at all.

The most obvious sign was that Su Chen looked at the System map.

He had just overlapped with the treasure chest.

But now, he was more than ten meters away from the treasure chest.

This meant that the building ladder was off course.

“Why didn’t these people fix this kind of building ladder?”

Su Chen felt speechless.

He had originally thought it would only be a few dozen ranks, at most a hundred ranks of steps.

He never expected it to be several hundred ranks.

Moreover, while climbing down the building ladder, he saw nothing at all.

There were no traps or anything.

It was just an ordinary, albeit long, building ladder.

“Seven hundred forty-eight levels!”

Su Chen counted as he walked.

He was very curious about what lay at the bottom.

One thousand ranks!

One thousand one hundred levels!

One thousand two hundred levels!

One thousand three hundred levels!

Su Chen felt like he was going crazy.

Who on earth built this?

If he found out, Su Chen would definitely give them a beating.

“Finally, I’m almost at the bottom.”

Su Chen glanced down and saw there were only a few more ranks of steps left.

He would soon reach the bottom.

However, because he had gone so deep underground, there was not a single bit of light here.

Su Chen used his phone to shine a light.

He still couldn’t see clearly.

At that moment, Su Chen became even more vigilant.
