Chapter 124: Chapter 92: This is Exciting

"Before we set off, I have a suggestion. I wonder if everyone would accept it."

Standing in front of the steel tunnel, the Priest rarely put forward an opinion. Su Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself that the old fox, the Priest, was finally about to reveal his tail.

The few people remained silent, waiting for the Priest’s next words.

"Since no one objected, I’ll go ahead."

The Priest maintained a humble demeanor, and his constant smile made it hard to guess what he was thinking.

"There’s no doubt about the strength of the four of you, but as we are venturing deep underground where dangers abound, now that we’ve formed a team, we should elect a leader. This way, our combat efficiency will greatly improve, and we can avoid internal conflicts within the team."

The Priest stopped and smiled at everyone.

"A great suggestion, but choosing a leader should involve everyone’s input. How about a verbal vote? It could save time."

Kirishima Arata finished speaking, revealing a sunny smile.

"Agreed."

"I approve."

"I don’t mind either way."

Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen were the first to express their stances, while Su Xiao felt it didn’t matter who became the leader. If his guess was correct, he would definitely lose, because there were two people who, with an 80% certainty, wouldn’t choose him.

"Let’s start the verbal voting then. I’ll go first. I choose Mr. Arima."

Kirishima Arata chose first, and since Arima Kishou had saved him, such a choice seemed quite normal.

"I choose Donayto Prupra."

Arima Kishou chose the Priest, his intentions unclear.

"I choose myself."

After Takatsuki Sen made her choice, she chuckled lightly. It was almost a foregone conclusion that Arima Kishou would be the captain, as she believed both the Priest and Su Xiao would vote for Arima.

"I vote for Takatsuki Sen."

"I choose Takatsuki Sen."

Su Xiao and the Priest spoke simultaneously, surprising the other three.

Takatsuki Sen appeared a bit puzzled that these two hadn’t selected Arima Kishou.

Su Xiao and the Priest exchanged glances, and Su Xiao sighed inwardly: "An old fox indeed is an old fox."

Before Su Xiao’s vote, the Priest had one vote, Takatsuki Sen had one vote, and Arima Kishou had one vote.

If the Priest voted for himself, he might become the captain, which was not what Su Xiao wanted to see, so he had to choose between Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen.

Arima’s intentions were unclear, and he even voted for the Priest, while Takatsuki Sen’s motives could be confirmed as revenge. Thus, Su Xiao voted for Takatsuki Sen.

The old fox, the Priest, unexpectedly also voted for Takatsuki Sen.

With the voting over, Takatsuki Sen, still somewhat bewildered, became the captain. Now that the leader was chosen, it was time to start moving.

Takatsuki Sen was most familiar with the route, and as the host of Central City’s east side, now the captain, she naturally took the lead and stepped first into the steel tunnel.

Next were Arima and the Priest, with Su Xiao entering the steel tunnel last.

The ghouls had Heko on their backs to defend against surprise attacks from behind, but he was human and didn’t want anyone behind him.

The gradient of the steel tunnel going downwards was not insignificant, and its surface was covered in green moss, making it unnecessary to walk; one just had to lean their body to slide downwards, maintaining balance.

Sssss~.

Inside the steel tunnel, except for the sound of sliding, it was utterly silent. Su Xiao took out Dragon Slash, so that if an unexpected incident occurred, he could use Dragon Slash to ’brake’.

The steel tunnel became steeper, accelerating their sliding speed as the entire tunnel twisted and coiled. Ahead, Takatsuki Sen lit the way with a strong flashlight.

"How long have we been sliding?"

Arima Kishou spoke up.

"Five minutes, in another ten minutes we have to be careful; if we can’t stop, we’ll fall into the well and be doomed."

Hearing their conversation, Su Xiao was startled. His current sliding speed wasn’t slow, and this speed had to continue for 15 minutes. Just how deeply were they heading underground?

And by the sounds of it, the steel tunnel directly connected to the vertical shaft, and if they accidentally slid into it, they’d fall to their deaths.

They were like drifting on a river where the end was an abyss, and what’s more frustrating was that this river was slanted, making it quite the thrill.

Eight minutes sliding, ten minutes, fifteen minutes!

"Everyone, find a way to stop."

Takatsuki Sen shouted from the front.

"Ouch, Arima, you kicked my waist."

"Sorry, the Kuingke didn’t open in time."

Behind, Su Xiao thrust Dragon Slash into the tunnel’s metal layer, sparks flying as he slid for a few meters before stopping.

The Priest and Kirishima Arata used their Heko to halt.

The Priest was an Armored Ghoul, with the Kakuhou at his shoulder, with the Heko resembling a sharp spike.

Kirishima Arata was also an Armored Ghoul, but his Heko was somewhat unusual, covering his hands and forming two blue-black claws.

Seeing Kirishima Arata’s Heko, Su Xiao frowned. He had killed many ghouls but had never seen such a texture of Heko. It immediately reminded Su Xiao of the Kuingke ’Xin’, with both the only difference being in color, sharing the same texture.

"Takatsuki Sen, how much further in the metal tunnel?"

The strong flashlight illuminated the end of the tunnel.

"More than a hundred meters, the timing calculation was spot on."

The group used various methods to proceed slowly, with Takatsuki Sen reaching the end of the tunnel first.

"Phew~, that was certainly thrilling, I’m jumping."

At the very front, Takatsuki Sen, with Su Xiao at the tail end, couldn’t see what was happening.

With a dull thump, Takatsuki Sen’s voice called out.

"No problem, just like before."

Not long after, there was another thump; it was Arima Kishou.

"If we jump wrong, we’ll surely die, huh."

Kirishima Arata’s voice.

Another dull thump, and the Priest moved forward from behind Kirishima Arata.

From Su Xiao’s angle, he could only see Kirishima Arata jumping into a patch of darkness, followed by a thump.

When it was the Priest’s turn, Su Xiao finally saw what was happening.

This steel tunnel connected the shaft’s wall. The edge was a bottomless vertical shaft, and unless someone could fly, they would definitely fall to their death if they fell.

On the opposite wall of the steel tunnel, there was a series of iron ladders extending downward, fastened to the wall, about half a meter wide.

What the Priest had to do now was leap from the steel tunnel, jump over the more than ten-meter-wide shaft, and grab the iron ladder on the opposite side.

Not easy, any misstep meant death!

The Priest, usually with a smile, couldn’t muster one now.

"Mister Bai Ye, would you mind demonstrating for me first?"

"I’m afraid of heights."

If the Priest didn’t jump, Su Xiao wouldn’t mind giving him a shove; he was, after all, right behind the Priest, making it very convenient.

"Alright then."

The Priest took a deep breath and took a few steps forward, leaping out.

Clang. The Priest successfully grabbed the iron ladder on the opposite side.

Now it was Su Xiao’s turn. Putting away Dragon Slash, he first took a deep breath and glanced at the bottomless shaft. Anyone afraid of heights would definitely experience weak knees, dizziness, and bladder contraction here.

Su Xiao couldn’t fly, and if he made a mistake, he would hit the ground and turn into a pile of meat.

However, he felt that the bottomless height of the shaft was enough time for him to return.

Su Xiao took a few steps back, crouched, powered up his legs, the moss on the steel tunnel was somewhat slippery, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of the jump.

Charging forward quickly, his eyes focused solely on the rusty iron ladder, then a determined leap.

In mid-air, Su Xiao vaguely had the illusion of flying, extending his arms, precisely grabbing the iron ladder.

Clang, crack!

Under the erosion of time, the rusty iron ladder had become very fragile, and it broke.
