Chapter 0192.The City of the Deep Waterdeep
Chen Yueyuan and Patsy followed Xi Yao to the west of the valley, where there was a large dark green 'jungle', and according to Xi Yao's introduction, they could reach Waterdeep as long as they passed through this underwater 'jungle'.
"Chen Yueyuan, aren't the trees here beautiful?"
After leaving the valley and entering the green and blackened jungle, the lively Xiyao opened up the conversation, twittering the names of the plants around Chen Yueyuan and Patchykop.
However, although these seabed plants are called trees by Xi Yao, they are completely different from the trees on land.
From Chen's point of view, these plants are not so much trees as tangled kelp.
Let's call it a kelp tree.
The kelp trees are very tall, they have not been seen below ten meters since Chen Yueyuan entered the jungle, and most of them are formed by four kelp entwined at one end near the ground, which is very greasy, and secretes some kind of light blue mucus on them.
The first half looks refreshing, with a crystal clear skin that seems to be able to shine through the light, and the higher you go, the more branched the kelp tree becomes, which is similar to that of a normal tree.
It's just that the 'branches' that branch out are soft, like soft gauze towels, dancing with the direction of the flow of water.
In addition to the kelp tree, there are other strange underwater plants mixed in, some tall and short, some wide and some thin, which together make up this underwater jungle.
Follow the path specially carved out by the Deep Sea Clan in the jungle all the way to the west, and in the blink of an eye, the valley is left behind.
Because Chen Yueyuan and Patsy are not very good at swimming and have always walked forward, the speed of the three is very slow.
Xi Yao, who had been swimming in front, urged the two to run and speed up, but Chen Yueyuan refused on the grounds of conserving physical strength to maintain the water curtain barrier.
For a low-level water mage, the consumption of the water curtain barrier is actually not large, if it is on land, with Chen Yueyuan's high-quality purple magic energy, it is enough to maintain a season without interruption.
But now they are at the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 100,000 meters!
After passing through the strong pressure layer, the water pressure began to weaken, and by the time it reached the bottom of the rift, it had become enough to allow ordinary low-level people to survive, but it was still much higher than the air pressure.
If the air pressure on the Yungu Star Continent is three times that of the Earth, the bottom of the sea is at least ten times more!
Coupled with the gravity of Yun Gu Xing itself, if ordinary earthlings suddenly appeared here, they would probably die in an instant.
Chen Yueyuan was also trained by the Galactic Exile Fleet and the fiber glass armor to slowly adapt to the environment of Yungu Star.
Cough, it's far away, in short, the external force pressure on the seabed is stronger than on land, and the consumption of maintaining the water curtain barrier will naturally increase, if according to Chen Yueyuan's current magic energy output, he can only maintain the barrier for about three days.
If there is no one else to help or find an environment with less water pressure, he and Patsy will have to soak in the water all day long.
Well, suffocation is not enough, and the smaller the barrier range, the less magic energy will be consumed, so Chen Yueyuan can at least ensure that he and Patsy's mouth and nose can get enough breathing space.
But as a terrestrial creature, if you are not forced to be helpless, who wants to be in the water all the time?
"Chen Yueyuan! Patsy! Look what I found?! ”
Xi Yao, who was dragged down by the two and couldn't move forward quickly, suddenly came out of a certain lump, and the girl of the butterfly fish clan was extremely active, and she was in a circle when she had nothing to do, and brought back some strange things from time to time.
This time, she held a handful of brown plants in her hand and handed it over as if she were offering a treasure.
"What's this?"
Chen Yueyuan took over the somewhat slimy plant and found that this thing was very thin, and each one was messily wound together, like a ball of thread tied in a dead knot.
"This is Sashakani!"
Shashakani?
Chen Yueyuan had never heard of such a thing, and looked at Patsy, who also shook her head slightly to indicate that she didn't know.
Stretching out two fingers and rubbing the main body of Sashakani, Chen Yueyuan felt a strange texture: "Is it useful?" ”
"Of course it works, Sashakani is a plant that can be eaten directly, with a sweet and sour taste, but it is delicious!"
"It's food...... Chen Yueyuan frowned slightly, he didn't look very good, he didn't have much appetite.
Especially now that the personal terminal is gone, its ingredients can't be detected, and who knows if there will be any adverse reactions after eating it.
"When I was a kid playing here, I often saw Sashakani and I could eat all I could eat every time, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer now, so it's rare to find such a little."
"Then you can eat quickly." Chen Yueyuan returned the Shashakani in his hand.
"Won't you eat some?" Xi Yao blinked: "This is a good thing." ”
"We don't have an appetite for a while." Chen Yueyuan politely refused: "And I don't like to eat sour food." ”
It is a lie that he does not like to eat sour, and his favorite thing when he was on earth was sour fruits, such as pineapples, plums, lemons, etc.
"It's a pity, then I'll enjoy it myself." Hee Yao regretfully retrieved Shashakani, shook it twice in the seawater, and threw it into her mouth.
Then the girl puffed out her cheeks and chewed, making a crisp rustling sound.
"Delicious! It's delicious! Xi Yao's eyes were half-squinted, looking extremely happy, but she didn't expect that she was still a snack merchant.
Seeing this, Chen Yueyuan's mind turned sharply, and an immature thought rose in his heart, so he quietly approached Patty and whispered: "Patty, when you get to Waterdeep, find an opportunity to make some specialty dishes for Xiyao to taste." ”
"Huh? Why? Patchy asked curiously.
"This guy seems to be very resistant to food, maybe we can start with this, and let her work hard to help us find a way out of the deep sea, and preferably not even give her songs."
“...... Okay, if I find the right ingredients, I'll give it a try. ”
Regarding Chen Yueyuan's strange thoughts, Patsy didn't believe it, although delicious food can indeed make people feel good, but it won't make people give up a song that can enter the top 100 of the Star Pavilion, right?
After a little plotting of the food temptation plan, and when Xi Yao chewed and played with Sasakani, the three of them continued on their way.
Before they knew it, the three of them had been walking in the deep-sea jungle for seven or eight hours, and the kelp trees around them had gradually become thinner.
The personal terminal was damaged, and he couldn't see the position of the star, and Chen Yueyuan couldn't figure out whether it was day or night.
"Haven't you arrived yet?"
Chen Yueyuan felt that his physical strength was a little exhausted.
The resistance of the sea water was much higher than he imagined, especially since the water curtain barrier contained an area of two people, making his magic energy consumption thirty percent more than expected, which was very dangerous.
"It's coming, it's coming." Xi Yao turned around and said impatiently, "Aren't you slow yourself?" If it were me, it would have been an hour. ”
Chen Yueyuan was speechless for a while when he heard this, it was indeed such a reason, and he couldn't refute it.
After walking patiently for another hour, his vision suddenly widened as he passed through a fence made of unknown plants.
It was like a golden ocean, with countless golden herbs swaying in the seawater, just like the autumn wheat waves on the earth, with a kind of harvest joy.
In the center of the golden ocean is a depression with a diameter of an unknown number of meters, covered by a huge oval-shaped film, emitting a faint blue light.
Beneath the film, the huge crater that seems to have been smashed by a meteorite progresses down the layers in a very symmetrical way, like a neatly shaped terraced rice field.
In the very center of the pothole, and in the lowest level of the 'terraces', there is a huge inverted pyramid building, and countless strange-shaped deep-sea tribes roam around, in and out.
In addition, there are also a variety of houses on the terraces that are surrounded by the surrounding fields, the most common being the huge reef that has been hollowed out, and when a window and door are opened, they are used as houses, and they are also overgrown with decorative plants, forming a special deep-sea style.
"Is that Waterdeep?"
Chen Yueyuan was someone who had seen the Sky City South Sacred Cloud City, and although the scene in front of him was quite shocking, he still quickly came back to his senses.
Aside from the hundreds of terraced rice fields, which gave him a little dense fear, only the inverted pyramid made him feel magnificent.
"That's right, this is the main city of our Deep Sea Clan, Waterdeep!"
Xi Yao opened her arms with a smile, and her slender fishtail was stretched straight, looking like a cross with an extraordinarily long underneath.
"The depth of Waterdeep is about four thousand meters, the height of each layer is four meters, and the resident population is about 400,000 to 500,000, and you can see almost any kind of deep sea tribe here."
The proud Xiyao held her beautiful chin high, and her pride was about to overflow, as if all this was created by her.
"What's that inverted pyramid in the middle? Is it also used to live in people? Chen Yueyuan faintly felt that something was calling him inside, and he whispered very slightly, and he couldn't hear any detailed meaning, as if it was just a dream of some kind of existence.
This kind of dream not only made him not feel uncomfortable, but also had a feeling of great attachment.
"What inverted pyramid? It was the holy place of Waterdeep, Humbarber. Xi Yao pouted: "The Babble existed before Waterdeep was built, and the Moonfall Terrans who were originally driven into the deep sea relied on it to survive, and slowly evolved into the current Abyssal Clan. ”
"It has the function of refining magic energy and creating air, it is the foundation of our deep sea tribe's life here, everyone regards it as a holy thing, you better treat it with respect, if you let the Inverted Legion hear you blaspheme Babble, you will not be able to eat and walk away."
"Is it so scary?" Chen Yueyuan raised her eyebrows.
"Brother, it's terrifying."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice sounded in Chen Yueyuan's ears......
