Restart:Untalented Man-Chapter 337 Unexpected Discovery In Pheonovia

At the edge of the kingdom, in the province near the Phoenix Forest, a bustling scene unfolded. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

Hundreds of workers toiled diligently, their efforts a symphony of motion as they cut down trees and cleared the land to prepare the ground for construction.

The workers, a mix of labourers and skilled craftsmen, moved with purpose.

The air echoed with the rhythmic symphony of their actions—the thud of axes against wood, the hum of saws slicing through tree trunks, and the determined shouts of supervisors coordinating the efforts.

The once pristine wilderness was transforming before their eyes, making way for the foundation of a new city.

The scent of freshly cut wood mingled with the earthy aroma of upturned soil, creating a unique fragrance that hung in the air.

The sun cast dappled shadows through the leaves, creating patches of warmth and coolness as it filtered through the canopy.

Amidst this organized chaos, Riz's vision for the new city was taking shape.

The goal was to establish a thriving centre of agricultural trade that would rival the bustling city of Norish in the south, a hub of economic activity where agricultural goods from across the province would converge for trade.

He had named this province "Pheonovia," a name that resonated with the geographical location of the land that was near the Phoenix Forest.

The workers, though weary from their labour, carried out their tasks with a sense of purpose and determination.

As they dig, a section of the ground suddenly gave way with a disconcerting lurch.

"Hey, what's happening over there?" one worker called out, his voice tinged with concern.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look good," another replied, eyes wide as they watched the ground collapse.

A sinkhole had formed, a void in the earth that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Its edges were jagged and stretched wide, spanning a diameter of nearly twenty meters, a chasm that revealed the dark depths of the soil below.

The workers gathered at the edge of the sinkhole, their eyes fixated on the dark abyss below. Their concern was mingled with a sense of curiosity, a primal human instinct to explore the unknown.

As they peered into the depths, they noticed something glinting faintly amidst the layers of soil and rock. A subtle shimmer, like a distant star, caught their attention.

"Hey, do you see that?" one worker pointed, drawing the attention of his companions.

Following his gaze, the others squinted, trying to discern the source of the glimmer.

As the sunlight filtered through the dusty air and danced upon the sinkhole's walls, the glint became more pronounced.

"Is that... light down there?" one worker exclaimed, disbelief colouring his voice.

One of the workers cautiously picked up a small rock and tossed it into the sinkhole. The rock clinked against the sides before disappearing into the darkness below.

"Could it be some sort of underground cavern?" another worker mused aloud, trying to make sense of the phenomenon.

It didn't take long for the nearest supervisor to be alerted to the situation.

"Everyone back up! Keep your distance!" the supervisor shouted, rushing to the scene with urgency in his voice.

The supervisor, an experienced foreman furrowing his brows as he surveyed the sinkhole.

He immediately reported the incident to higher authorities. Word travelled swiftly through the construction site, capturing the attention of those in charge.

In response, a team of investigators was dispatched to the site, geology and structural engineering experts.

"Looks like we've got some unexpected geology here," one of the investigators commented, his voice laced with curiosity.

After brief surveying, the authorities swiftly recognized the need for a thorough exploration of the newly formed sinkhole.

Plans were set in motion to send a team of experts into the depths below and ascertain the extent of this intriguing phenomenon.

A group of skilled individuals gathered at the edge of the sinkhole, their expressions a mix of curiosity and anticipation. Lanterns swung gently in the breeze, casting wavering shadows on the ground. Ropes were secured and equipment was checked meticulously.

"Alright, everyone," the team leader's voice carried authority. "We need to proceed with caution. We don't know what lies beneath."

With the lanterns being lit, the team members began their descent. Footsteps echoed as they navigated the rocky walls, their lanterns casting a warm and flickering glow.

As they descended, the temperature dropped perceptibly, and the sounds of the surface world grew faint. The walls around them seemed to pulse with a subtle luminescence.

"Steady, folks," the team leader called out. "This seems to be a natural tunnel opening up ahead."

The tunnel widened into a spacious underground cavern, revealing a stunning display of stalactites and stalagmites.

The faint glimmer of crystals reflected in their eyes, lending an otherworldly aura to the surroundings.

"Keep your lanterns high," someone advised, their voice carrying a sense of wonder. "Look at those formations, they're like nothing I've ever seen."

The walls of the cavern held an otherworldly allure, adorned with a tapestry of glistening minerals, each surface seeming to catch and refract the soft glow of the crystals.

Clusters of translucent crystals jutted out from the walls, some larger than others.

Their surfaces refracted the light, scattering it into a dance of colours that seemed to shift and change with every step.

The explorers exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued by the mysterious beauty of the underground chamber.

Their lanterns provided only a limited radius of light, revealing only fragments of the cavern's grandeur.

The expanse of the chamber seemed to extend beyond their field of vision, leaving them with a profound sense of awe.

As the exploration team ventured further into the cavern, they discovered small pools of pristine water that reflected the myriad colours of the crystals above.

The water seemed unusually clear as if it held a secret depth that extended beyond its visible surface.

The team's murmurs of wonder were hushed in reverence as they knelt down to examine the pools.
