There was no violent sound, only some sounds like dense Qi currents continuously blowing.
In an instant, the blurry beam of light Li Hai emitted almost evaporated the hundred-meter-diameter lava below without any process, directly sinking into the scorching surface of the earth.
And at this moment, if one were to immerse themselves into the interior of this light beam and continuously fall downwards, they would discover that this beam of light was piercing madly into the depths of the earth's surface at an alarming speed.
No matter how thick or hard the underground strata and rock layers were, under the penetration of this macroscopic matter-incinerating light beam, they all evaporated into nothingness like bubbles in an instant, disappearing in a flash.
But Li Hai, hovering in the sky, knew that those seemingly disappeared soil and rocks had not actually disappeared.
They were merely forcibly disassociated by the incinerating cannon's beam, turning into countless particles.
Comparatively, it was somewhat similar to the 'Greater Disintegration' spell in the DND worldview, considered a relatively 'civilized' attack method.
It only causes people to die without a complete corpse, rather than turning them into blood and gore, making a mess that’s hard to clean up afterwards.
At the same time, in Li Hai's vision (photon information interface), there was a rather strange set of numbers.
And these numbers were continuously increasing as time passed.
In reality, these numbers were the total mass of matter (in tons) that the incineration beam had disassociated and evaporated from its emission until now.
And at this moment, this number had already exceeded fifty million.
In other words, at least fifty million tons of matter had been turned into particles by Li Hai.
And as time continued to flow, this number was rapidly increasing at an extremely fast rate.
One hundred million— Two hundred million— Five hundred million— Seven hundred million—
Finally, this number stopped increasing after reaching one billion.
At the same time, the matter-incinerating light beam emitted by Li Hai also instantly disappeared.
This also meant that after evaporating a full one billion tons of soil and rock, Li Hai successfully 'dug' out a long passage directly to ten thousand meters underground.
So he immediately switched his species form, transforming back into a human, and then swiftly flew into the scorching passage, which had begun to slowly close under the pressure of the earth's strata, at a speed tens of times the speed of sound.
In less than a second, Li Hai swept through the entire ten-thousand-meter tunnel, reaching a dim and vast 'world'.
Here, the top of the sky was an endless expanse of a dark, inverted 'continent', and below was an equally boundless wild and desolate land.
The reason for using the word 'wild and desolate' was precisely because it was covered with countless grey-green mushrooms.
These almost woody mushrooms were all as tall and massive as surface trees, one by one covering the boundless land below completely.
At a glance, hardly any obvious gaps could be seen; they were almost squeezed and blocked together, forming a layer of grey mushroom land.
As for the space between this vast heaven and earth, there were colossal stone pillars, thick and massive like mountains, reaching from the sky to the earth, as well as dense, thick rolling thunderclouds constantly flashing with lightning.
It was precisely because of the existence of these thunderclouds that this deep 'world' located ten thousand meters beneath the earth's surface did not fall into absolute darkness, still retaining some faint light.
After Li Hai indifferently surveyed his surroundings, he swiftly flew towards the somewhat distant land below.
And he flew for a full thirty thousand meters before finally reaching the half-empty space closer to the grey mushroom land.
It was only upon reaching this point that Li Hai, through the fine gaps between the giant mushrooms below, discovered that there were indeed many deformed and bizarre creatures on the land further below.
For example, at present, beneath the giant mushroom directly below him, there were quite a few 'strange birds' resting.
Li Hai, of course, could not possibly know what species they belonged to, so he roughly named these birds 'Hand-Foot Birds'.
The reason they were called Hand-Foot Birds was because the four wings of these strange birds were surprisingly shaped like human hands, complete with five fingers.
However, at the ends of each finger on these human hand-wings, instead of fingernails, there were sharp, blood-red bird beaks.
In other words, each of these Hand-Foot Birds actually had twenty mouths.
Although they had so many mouths, these Hand-Foot Birds had no eyes.
At the same time, connected beneath their four plump human hand-wings were, surprisingly, enormous feet.
It was also through the feet of these Hand-Foot Birds that Li Hai roughly distinguished their genders.
For male Hand-Foot Birds, the left foot was attached below their four wings, and at the tip of each of the five toes, there was a sharp, porous protrusion.
As for female Hand-Foot Birds, they had a right foot, and the tips of their five toes had five dark, hollow depressions.
Li Hai personally witnessed how these Hand-Foot Birds reproduced their offspring through a form of foot-mating.
It was truly bizarre.
And during his subsequent journey to find the Eighth Master of Mystic Gu Workshop, Li Hai encountered many even more bizarre species.
For example, there was a strange species named 'Eye-Intestine Monster' by Li Hai, whose appearance was truly bizarre.
This creature had no brain or other organs and limbs, only a cluster of eyeballs of various sizes stuck together.
And from the gaps between these eyeballs, a large number of pinkish-white, sticky intestines protruded like tentacles, continuously grasping pieces of crushed mushrooms and stuffing them into the round holes in the center of each eyeball, which at first glance looked like pupils but were actually mouths.
This type of species was extremely fragile and of little value, so there was no need to dwell on it.
But then, Li Hai encountered a bizarre species that held some value.
This Unknown creature, which he named 'Linked-Neck People', also had an extremely strange appearance.
This species had no legs or torso, only four arms connected to the ground, and large human heads growing on top of these four arms.
Then, within the excessively wide, toothless, and tongueless mouth on the face of these heads, another slightly smaller head grew.
And within the mouth of this smaller head, yet another even smaller head grew again.
Thus, a head within a head, and another head within that head, constituted 'Linked-Neck'.
However, Li Hai discovered that although these Linked-Neck People almost all had three heads, there were still a very small number of individuals that would possess more heads.
And these individuals with more Linked-Neck generally possessed far superior physique, strength, and speed compared to their peers.
Furthermore, during his subsequent journey, Li Hai surprisingly discovered a nine-linked individual in a certain Linked-Neck People tribe.
And the overall strength level of this nine-headed Linked-Neck Person actually reached the Grandmaster level.
Li Hai tentatively killed that nine-headed monster, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that it could indeed drop a strong individual fragment.
With this discovery, Li Hai was no longer in a hurry to find the Eighth Master.
He changed his target and began searching for other nine-headed Linked-Neck People.
And this search lasted for a day and a night.
