Act Seventy-Three
Lawson looked at the exit of the cave, which seemed to be a sparkling and quiet water, but his perception told him that it was not a sea of sea, but a small puddle.
"The Nether Cave leads to the cave on the next level, and as long as you enter the water, it is the third layer of the Endless Abyss. ”
Fina explained, walking to the entrance of the cave and watching the swaying waves not far away.
"Normally, explorers who are going to the third level will have this thing ready. ”
She pulled out a small jar from her bag and pulled out a few clumps of soggy aquatic plants.
"What is this?"
Irandall looked disgusted when he saw that the branches and leaves of the aquatic plants seemed to be still slowly trembling.
"It's Drowning Grass, and despite its name, it's actually a plant that allows people to breathe freely underwater, and it's a plant that grows in the Nether Caves, and it grows in many caves near the third level. ”
As she spoke, Fina did not shy away from picking up a clump of aquatic plants with her hands.
"The method used is like this...... Hmm ”
She swallowed the still wriggling tentacle water weed into her stomach directly in front of Irandall and the others, and the whole picture looked very curious, which made Irandall couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"As long as you eat this clump of aquatic plants, you will be able to move freely in the inverted ocean without being constrained by the current. ”
Fina handed one of them to Irandall.
Irandall was still a little hesitant to accept, looking at the wriggling aquatic plants, she really couldn't imagine eating them in her mouth, so she looked at Lawson and tried to ask for help.
"I can use a magic barrier. ”
Rosen shrugged his shoulders and said, he can naturally use the magic barrier, he can move freely even in the deep sea, and it is not difficult to bring Randall with him.
"But you'll have to act with me. ”
If you are too far away, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen in a place like the Endless Abyss, where the power of chaos is pervasive, so Rosen has to make sure that Irandall is by his side.
"It's not that difficult. ”
Edlandall thought to herself that she would rather stay by Rosen's side than swallow the disgusting-looking aquatic weed, and immediately replied.
"Then reach out. ”
Rosen took Irandall's hand, and a barrier opened around the two of them, and he opened a barrier for Fina to be on the safe side.
After the three of them were ready, they jumped directly into the seemingly calm water.
Plop –
It wasn't until he went underwater that Elandall realized that the space was actually much wider, and that the entrance to the cave now seemed to be nothing more than a small hole in the rock face.
The water is so clear that you can see hundreds of meters away without any obstacles, and countless fluorescent plants grow on the rocks in the water, illuminating the area.
After traveling a certain distance downward, Irandall looked up at Fina's reminder and saw the spectacular sight.
It was a huge hollow, and the light shining down from the hollow made the whole sea open, and around the hollow were countless holes of various sizes, around which many fish gathered and seemed to compete for the food that fell from the hole.
Edlandall quickly understood that the huge hole should be the cavity in the center of the Nether Cave, and these small holes were the exits from the other caves to this level.
It was not clear to Irandall why there was such a light at the bottom of the Nether Cave, but what she saw soon drew her attention.
Whew-
A large school of fish swims by, colorful in the light, and these fish swim in schools under the leadership of the leader to avoid predators, which is a common sight in the ocean.
But Irandall noticed that the fish were all belly upstream.
It's as if the Netherworld Cave above is the bottom of the sea, and the bottom is the surface of the sea.
That's why it's called the Ocean of Inversions. ”
Fina said that she had not been in contact with the sea water in Lawson's magic barrier, and that her voice was transmitted through the resonance of the magic barrier, which was somewhat distorted.
"All the creatures here live upside down, of course, if you can enter the fourth layer, then you can quickly understand why this is happening, but if you come down from the third layer, you will encounter such a situation. ”
As she spoke, Fina deftly flipped her body and also stood upside down.
Lawson and Irandall followed the handstand, watching the glowing void beneath their feet farther and farther away, and finally only a few points of light remained.
At the same time, the ocean is not dark.
One, two, three, countless glows shone brightly, and what Irandall saw was a sea creature that radiated light.
A fish swam past Irandall, and its skin and flesh were almost transparent, and its glowing bones made it look like a bone fish, and soon the fish swam into the distance, turning into a small point of light.
On the other side, there is a small group of glowing jellyfish, dragging long tentacles to swim to the side, Elandall saw that among the jellyfish, there are several small fish with phosphorescent bodies shuttling between those highly poisonous tentacles, and she does not feel the slightest danger, after Fina's introduction, she knows that this is a small fish that lives in symbiosis with jellyfish, and has antibodies in the body that can resist jellyfish toxins, specifically cleaning up the food debris on the body of these soft creatures.
A school of krill slowly passed by their eyes, like a strip of light from the Milky Way.
In the distance, anglerfish with bait hanging overhead are ready to devour their baited fish.
"Wait. ”
Fina stopped abruptly, then pointed in the direction above their heads.
When Irandall saw the creature, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
It was a huge squid, roughly estimated to be more than fifty yards long, and at least a hundred yards long with tentacles, and the squid was streaked and glowed, illuminating a large area of water.
The squid didn't look hostile, just floated leisurely in the water, its fins on either side of its body swinging so that it could move forward slowly.
"It's a type of king squid that lives in the deep seas of the inverted ocean and feeds on small fish, but it has a more important use for explorers. ”
Fina said, then directed Irandall and Lawson away from the king squid to observe secretly.
"This king squid is food for another creature, and we need that creature to move through the ocean of inversions. ”
Between the words, he saw a huge mouth suddenly appear in front of the three of them, and was about to swallow the king squid that had not yet realized what was happening.
