42. 20,000 miles under the sea

The color of the deep sea is not as blue as the shallow sea, because there is no light at all, so the water here is inky black, darker than the deepest night, and can only be seen in nightmares. (._百&晓&生)
Cheng Peng grabbed a flat, big fish that was almost half the size of his body and used it as a street lamp - this fish would emit a green cold light from time to time, the light was not strong, but it was the only light he could rely on in this dim water.
"I would have brought a night pearl or something...... looking at the sea that was faint ten steps away at most, Cheng Peng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, regretting his miscalculation.
But he really can't be blamed, who would have thought that he would need to dive tens of thousands of meters to the bottom of the trench to hunt for treasure? Those diving flashlights on the market are almost the limit of diving for two or three thousand meters, and even a veteran hunter is unlikely to dive into such a deep sea - here, the water pressure is enough to destroy anything that is not part of the sea, whether it is a person or an object.
Fortunately, Cheng Peng is not "not of the sea", as the holder of the Kunpeng bloodline, the sea was originally his home field, no matter how deep he dived, he did not have to worry about being killed by water pressure. Grand Adventure 420000
After continuing to dive for a while, Cheng Peng sat down to rest on the submarine rock wall of a rock that was slightly protruding, like a platform, still firmly grasping the unlucky big fish that turned into an electric light with one hand, and turned on the virtual screen with the other hand, compared with the trench map collected before, corrected the location according to his diving records, and corrected several conjectural places on the map by the way.
This job requires a lot of care, but it has to be done - his current location is already a special location, and he can't use the contact information in the game to communicate with other players, and there is no way to provide him with intelligence support, so if you want to complete the expedition, you can only rely on your own efforts.
And this trench also has a disgusting premise - once he goes offline, the terrain of the entire trench will be refreshed, so the map drawn before is completely meaningless. Only after he has completed the entire exploration will the terrain of this trench be determined as the exploration is completed.
Because of this, he had to return to the bottom of the trench at the top of the trench about a third of the way down, and then start his expedition again.
On the virtual screen, apart from the sketchy trench map, which lacks much content, is a treasure map that is blurry to resemble an abstract oil painting.
This treasure map has a name, "The Treasure of the Mystic Beasts of the Kurolo Collection".
Just look at the name, this thing is Kurolo? An item dropped by Rusiru.
Although Kulolo was not killed, because Cheng Peng arrested him, when he died, the two props that were revealed were still sent to Cheng Peng in the form of a system email attachment.
The two props are quite in line with Kurolo's identity, one is a telescope, and the shape is a simple silver cross called "Angel's Wings". As long as this telekinesis absorbs enough thoughts or life force, it can be transformed into glowing wings, allowing the user to fly in the air more easily, just like the kind of ability used by Kurolo and Cheng Peng when they fight.
Cheng Peng, who was already able to run and jump in the air by trampling on Gangqi, naturally didn't need this thing—not that he couldn't use it, but this precious prop was a bit of a waste if he used it—so he thought about it for a while and sent this cross to Du Zaonao.
Lena? Godzilla had said not long ago, intentionally or unintentionally, that in order to help him seize the Heshi Bi, Du Sanae used up the treasure "Cloud Dragon Banner" that was hard to get, and as a monster, she was injured by Buddhism, and she was also damaged to the source, and her basic "sex" has greatly declined, and she needs to cultivate for a while to recover. In this way, he owes the little girl a lot of favors, and he finally repays the favor by giving this precious prop with great use value.
Cheng Peng has always believed that money and debts can be owed, but personal debts should not be defaulted, and the sooner they are paid off, the better.
Du Zaonao was very happy after getting the cross he sent, wearing it and flying around proudly, and sent Cheng Peng a few photos wearing a white "color" dress and spreading white "color" light wings, like an angel.
Well...... Second. The picture of a pure girl whose "sexual" characteristics have not yet fully developed and flying in the air is indeed full of angelic divine temperament!
Strangely, after receiving Cheng Peng's evaluation, Du Zaomiao became very depressed, and calmly replied with a weak head and turned off the private chat.
Cheng Peng was very skeptical, but he had long known that women were more difficult to understand than history - otherwise, why would the professor who took them archaeology at the beginning was already a well-known master in the field of history, but he was still an old bachelor who had never even succeeded in falling in love......
The second item that Kurolo reveals is a blurry treasure map called "Unknown Treasure in Kurolo's Collection". Cheng Peng paid 50 million to invite a professional treasure hunter to interpret it.
…… In fact, the so-called "interpretation" is actually just to give a list and let him choose from several different treasure types.
After hesitating for a while among the options of "treasures, secret treasures, telekines, rare beasts, cultural relics, relics, and veins ......", Cheng Peng chose the "rare beast" item. Grand Adventure 420000
It's not that he's not interested in anything else, it's that he's seen everything else, but what this "rare beast" is, but he doesn't have a clue at all, and he's very curious.
So after spending another 50 million, the treasure map became what it is now - a map of the sea, and then it seemed to just draw a red cross in a certain location, next to the two words "Rare Beast".
Cheng Peng naturally had no problem with this map, so he had to ask the experts of the Hunter Guild to find a way again, and he sprinkled hundreds of millions of dollars before a two-star hunter helped him determine the location of the treasure.
It's in one of the deepest trenches in the hunter world!
So Cheng Peng came.
"It's really funny to say, not long ago, I was fighting with Kulolo at an altitude of thousands of meters, but now I have dived into the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of meters to find the treasure he left behind......" Thinking of the origin of this treasure map, Cheng Peng laughed but couldn't help but wonder, "Then again, how can that guy from Kulolo dive into this kind of deep sea and put the treasure here?" Is he also a big fish? ”
Naturally, there is no solution to this problem - Kurolo is dead, and even if he is still in some dungeons, it is probably impossible to know what is going on with this treasure map where the location is likely to be random...... Maybe he'll answer with "Oh, it was snatched somewhere......
After resting for a while, Cheng Peng regained his strength, so he grabbed the green light fish and continued to dive.
After a while, the green lantern fish suddenly struggled violently, and at the same time, Cheng Peng also received a system prompt.
[You have entered the poisonous waters, and the water poisoning "sex" has not yet broken through your ability to resist poison. 】
Cheng Peng paused for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
If he continued to dive, it would be difficult for him to maintain his direction in the dim deep sea without street lights, and he could only locate on the map by calculating the distance and angle, which was a bit of a feeling of death; But if you go back, most of the hard work of the past half day will be in vain......
After hesitating for a while, Cheng Peng decided to continue diving!
Calculating the distance, he is not far from the bottom of the sea, even if there is no lighting, he should be able to reach the bottom of the trench smoothly, and when the time comes, he will be able to turn around and complete the map, which will be much more convenient when he comes next time.
So he let the poor green lantern fish escape, and continued to dive to the bottom of the pitch black sea.
As the altitude continues to decrease, the poison in the seawater is getting stronger and stronger, and it has even broken through the anti-poison limit of Cheng Peng, who has innate true qi and divine beast blood. Fortunately, he had already anticipated that the treasure might be poisonous in the vicinity, so he had prepared a lot of antidotes, and it would not be dangerous to eat one from time to time.
But after a while, Cheng Peng felt that the water temperature was gradually rising.
"Is it an undersea volcano?" He pondered, muttering to himself – submarine volcanoes are indeed common, especially at the bottom of deep ocean trenches, where fire can often be seen in water where the earth's crust cracks and magma flows.
If it is an ordinary explorer, he will inevitably have to go back at this time, but Cheng Peng is different, he is a player.
For players, "death" is nothing to be afraid of, but "adventure" is extremely fascinating.
So Cheng Peng continued to dive without hesitation!
The water temperature was getting higher and higher, so high that he had to carry the Xuanbing True Strength to resist the heat. Grand Adventure 420000
After another moment, there was already boiling water around him!
But the trench has not yet bottomed out......
At this moment, Cheng Peng's heart was occupied by slow curiosity, and he no longer thought about safety at all, and dived deeper one by one.
After a while, my eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw the flames burning silently in the sea!
Words cannot describe the strange sight - not flowing lava, but raging flames that gently swayed with the waves of the water, emitting a bright red light, illuminating the otherwise dark seabed as if it were day.
And in the midst of these flames, a huge egg lies silently.
This giant blue egg is six or seven meters high, and its appearance is similar to that of an egg that has been magnified several times, but it is full of wonderful dark blue "color" patterns, and if you look closely, the dark blue patterns are still flowing gently on the light blue background!
Cheng Peng used Xuan Bing's true strength to protect his body and rushed to the side of the giant egg.
The temperature around suddenly dropped.
Only then did he notice that the giant egg seemed to be constantly contending with the flames.
Cheng Peng took out the special telepathy "Identification Mirror" that he bought at a high price in the Hunter Guild, and used the faint white light emitted from this small mirror that could only be used once to the giant egg, so he got the result that surprised him.
[Reading the beast egg? Arowana: One of the most powerful creatures in the hunter world, this large flying fish has an infinite lifespan and infinite curiosity, always appearing in the most dangerous places, with scales as blue as the sea and sky, it can dive to the deepest depths of the sea, and fly to heights that no aircraft can reach. Because of its strength, it is called a 'dragon'.
The beast has not been tamed by humans to date, as its eggs have never been found, and it is estimated that they may have laid their eggs on floating islands high above the sea or in volcanoes in the deep sea. 】
Cheng Peng stretched out his hand and gently stroked the majestic and beautiful giant egg, his heart was full of surprise and appreciation—the treasure of Kurolo really lived up to its name!
Then, as described in the hunter's manual, he began to inject his thoughts into the eggs.
“…… Why hasn't Brother Peng come out yet? It's been five days! On the small boat on the sea, Luo Gan looked at the calm sea water and asked worriedly, "He shouldn't have an accident, right?" ”
"What can happen to us players?" Zhou Dong smiled dumbly, "It's good news that I didn't hang back." ”
Wende sat quietly on the side, watching the flowing clouds at the junction of the sea and the sky, but his heart was slightly uneasy.
Since the day before yesterday, Cheng Peng has lost contact with everyone.
He no longer sends messages in private chats, and he doesn't even call everyone.
Wende once rushed to his house, but the ET electronic butler told him that Cheng Peng had been in the game cabin all the time, everything was normal, and there was no need to worry.
Yes, don't worry, black technology is very reliable.
It's just that as friends, whether Wende or Xu Tu Li Weixiao laughs at them, how can they not be worried?
Just as he was pondering whether to go offline and go to Cheng Peng's house to have a look, Ah Qing suddenly spoke.
"There's something very powerful coming down from the bottom of the sea! It's fast! ”
Before he could finish speaking, the calm sea exploded violently, and a huge column of water rushed up at least twenty meters high.
A large blue fish with a length of more than six meters rushed out of the water column and flew proudly in the sky.
And the person on the back of the big fish waving and cheering at them is not Cheng Peng, but who is it!
