Chapter 726: Underwater City
But after Wu Song entered the water, he felt cold all over his body, and the lake water was not warm.
Wu Song ran the phoenix to resist the cold water of the lake. At first, with the help of the sunlight shining down from the surface of the lake, Wu Song could still see the situation in the lake.
But as you dive deeper, there is less and less light around you.
After diving for a quarter of an hour, Wu Song estimated that he was already at a depth of tens of meters.
It was pitch black, and almost nothing could be seen.
Wu Song felt a sense of suffocation and felt that he could no longer dive.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared not far away. Wu Song stared there, and when the bright light came closer, he found that it was a glowing fish.
This fish is very long, about two meters long. It has two large eyes, and a tentacle about half a meter long stretches out from the top of its head, and at the end of the tentacle is a fist-sized ball, from which the light emanates.
Wu Song immediately mobilized his Yuan Force, ready to deal with the attack of the big fish at any time.
But the big fish did not attack Wu Song, but circled around Wu Song, and then swam into the distance. Wu Song's intuition told him that following the big fish would definitely make some discoveries.
So, at the risk of suffocation, Wu Song swam over with the big fish.
They continued to swim down for about ten meters to the bottom of the lake. Later, the big fish turned to continue swimming along the bottom of the lake. Wu Song followed behind and swam for a distance of about ten meters.
Then, the big fish turned a dirt slope at the bottom of the lake, Wu Song followed and turned the dirt slope, and then, after seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Song couldn't help but be stunned.
In front of him was a large area of light, and in this light, there was a city.
This city at the bottom of the lake is very large, with a radius of dozens of miles, and there is no end in sight.
Wu Song didn't expect to see such a city at the bottom of the lake, which was really incredible. The big fish swam towards the city, and Wu Song followed.
Swimming, Wu Song suddenly passed through an invisible barrier. Then, the lake disappeared, and Wu Song suddenly fell into the air and fell to the ground.
Wu Song was about twenty meters away from the ground, he secretly used Yuan Li, and after a few meters from the ground, his body turned around and landed steadily on the ground.
There was a sense of solidity under his feet, telling Wu Song that what he saw in front of him was not an illusion, and that he had indeed landed in an underwater city.
Wu Song looked up, and only then did he see that there was a white transparent barrier more than twenty meters above his head. The barrier stretched out in all directions, enveloping the entire city.
Because of this barrier, the lake did not flood the city.
Wu Song couldn't help but admire, now whether it is the demon race or the human race, there is no strength to build such a barrier, so the only one who builds the barrier is the ancient ten thousand races.
It seems that this is another relic of an ancient race.
This also shows that Wu Song has come to the right place. The group of them came to the Goddess Peak to find the holy place to resurrect the ancient races. At present, this underwater city is likely to be where the holy place is located.
Wu Song walked along the streets of the city, observing the city buildings next to him, hoping to find clues to the holy land.
As with other ancient ruins, there is not a single person in the city. All the buildings are empty, and the contents are neatly arranged, which shows that the residents of this place were evacuated in an orderly manner.
Wu Song searched for a while, but found nothing. The city is too big, Wu Song is looking for it aimlessly, and he doesn't know that he can find the holy land in the Year of the Monkey.
Wu Song climbed a tall building and looked around.
After looking at it for a while, Wu Song found something unusual.
The buildings throughout the city are basically low, rarely more than two storeys. But there are a few exceptions, one of which is the building where Wu Song is located, which is four stories high and about twenty meters high.
In addition, Wu Song also saw three buildings similar to the one he was in.
The three buildings were all far away from Wu Song's location, and according to Wu Song's estimates, they should be located in three corners of the entire city.
Together with the building where Wu Song is located, these four buildings should be located in the four corners of the city.
And in the center of the city, there is another building, which is nearly twice as tall as the building where Wu Song is located, and should be forty or fifty meters high.
It should be the center of the city, and the Holy Land is likely to be there.
The plan was decided, and Wu Song immediately rushed there.
Half an hour later, Wu Song came to the vicinity of the tall building in the center of the city.
The building was a ten-story tall building, centered on a tall building, and was a square with a radius of about a mile. There was nothing in the square, it was empty.
Wu Song had also been to the ancient ruins a few times before, and according to his previous experience, there were defense mechanisms in the ancient ruins, and any outsider who rashly broke in would be attacked by the defense mechanism.
In the Dragon-Eclipse Ruins, the defense mechanism is a formation. In the ruins of the Valley of White Rock, the defense mechanism is a group of golems.
If Wu Song's prediction is correct, then in this ruin, there must also be a defense mechanism.
And the holy place must be the key protection object of the defense mechanism, and the rash intrusion will definitely be attacked.
Wu Song crouched in the shadows, thinking about how to bypass the defense mechanism. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Wu Song still had no clue. At this moment, two people suddenly came to the vicinity of the square.
Those two were Shui Yao Dharma Protector and Mo Lao, and after the two snatched the jade pendant, they thought they had got the contents of the wooden box, so as Wu Song expected, they rushed straight to the top of the Goddess Peak.
In fact, they came to the big lake at the top of the mountain an hour earlier than Wu Song and the others, but they were never allowed to enter. The two groped along the lake, wasting a lot of time, and then they thought that there might be a mystery underwater, and then they found the underwater city.
The two of them are not like Wu Song, who have been to the ancient ruins and know that there is a defense mechanism in the ancient ruins. The two of them were defenseless, and went directly into the square and came to the bottom of the tall building.
Underneath the tall building, there is a door made of white marble, and on the door there is a lock made of pure gold.
The two looked at each other, holding the jade pendant in their hands, both of them were a little blind. Wu Song's jade pendant happened to be white jade, which was very similar to white jade. Therefore, Shui Yao Protector and Mo Lao firmly believed that there was a connection between the jade pendant and the door in front of them.
But what does it mean that there is another lock on the door?
The two watched for a long time, groping on the door again, and putting the jade pendant on the door, but they found nothing, and the door still didn't open.
Shui Yao's protector was an anxious man, and seeing that he had been busy for a long time and had no results, he directly grabbed the golden lock, and tried to pull the golden lock down with force in his hand.
Shui Yao Dharma Protector is an innate realm cultivator, after exerting Yuan Force, how much strength should be in his hand? However, no matter how hard he exerts it, the golden lock is completely immovable, and it can't be damaged at all.
The Guardian of the Water turned and drew a dagger, ready to pry the golden lock open. At this moment, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sky above the tall building.
Shui Yao Protector and Mo Lao looked up at the whirlpool, both having an ominous premonition in their hearts.
When Wu Song saw the whirlpool appear, he understood that it was the defense mechanism in the ancient ruins that had been activated.
The whirlpool grew larger and larger, and soon the entire square was enveloped.
Then, a large group of aquatic creatures flew out of the whirlpool. There are all kinds of common fish, and there are also many fish that Wu Song can't name. The smallest of them was the size of a human fingernail, and the largest was larger than a house.
The most bizarre thing is that these water creatures are ghosts, not entities.
After the phantom appeared, they all flew towards Shui Yao Protector and Mo Lao.
By this time, both of them could see that something was wrong. The two turned around and ran outside the square, the shadow came very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they chased a few meters away from the two of them.
The Guardian of the Water turned into several icicles and shot them over.
The icicle passed through the shadow and landed on the ground.
A shark shadow was at the forefront, and soon came behind the two. It opened its mouth and mouthed wide to bite the water Yao Protector.
The Guardian of the Water Yao dodged sideways, drew a dagger from his hand, and shot it over. The dagger still passed through the shark ghost's body and landed on the ground.
The Shark Shadow flicked its tail and slapped it towards the Guardian of the Water. The Shui Yao Protector was caught off guard, was slapped by the shark's tail, and the whole person flew out.
The other person was in mid-air, flipped his body and fell to the ground.
There was a dull pain in his chest, and he felt a little out of breath. What was incomprehensible to him was why his icicle couldn't hit the Shark Shadow, but he was able to hit himself.
The Shark Shadow flew up to the Guardian of the Water and opened his mouth to bite it.
Nearby Mo Lao stretched out his right palm and sent out a yuan force. Yuan Li hit the shark on the head, sending the shark flying several meters.
Shui Yao's protector escaped, and hurriedly continued to run outside with Mo Lao.
Wu Song hid in the shadows, watching as Shui Yao Protector and Mo Lao were chased and killed by a group of ghosts until they disappeared into the intricate streets of the city.
Soon, tranquility returned to the square.
Wu Song walked to the side of the square and looked up at the sky. The whirlpool was still there, but no more shadows were flying out.
Wu Song came to the high-rise building, and after seeing the golden lock on the white marble door, he understood the use of the pure gold key in his hand.
Wu Song took out the key, inserted the golden lock, and then twisted the key, only to hear a crisp "click" sound, and the golden lock was opened. Wu Song pushed open the white marble door and entered the high-rise building.
The first floor was empty, there was nothing. Wu Song looked up and found that the top was empty, and he could directly see the top floor.
Wu Song looked around and didn't see the stairs. He used Yuan Li, turned into a Yuan Force long sword in his hand, and then jumped up, came to the air more than three meters high, and inserted the Yuan Force Long Sword in his hand into the wall.
The wrist is forced, and the body continues to be raised.
In this way, Wu Song came to the top floor. He plunged a Yuanli longsword into the wall, and the man stood on the longsword.
On the beams on the top floor, a huge bell hangs. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Wu Song snapped a brick from the wall and shot it at the bell with great force. The bricks hit the clock face and instantly smashed into powder. The clock itself, however, did not move.
