Chapter 181: The Pupil of the Abyss
Yu Xian looked at the old village chief in front of him and couldn't help asking:
"You're an old noble?"
"The old man is ninety-seven years old this year."
Yu Xian suddenly felt that it was not easy to live more than ninety years old in this world, so he sorted out his dress and introduced it very formally:
"The junior Yu Xian Navy retired Admiral, temporarily a free man, and is the supreme commander of the Admiral's Mansion in Moon Bay."
"Oh~?! Youngster? Can you retire so early? Or is there not so much of the deep sea out there? ”
The old village chief looked at the large group of shipwives who followed Yu Xian's side suspiciously, and said that he couldn't understand.
"The outside world is in the final stage of a defensive counterattack, and humanity can now prepare to counterattack the Deep Sea Core Fortress."
"Really? Is it already that strong? I've waited too long for this day......"
After hearing this, the old village chief excitedly shook Yu Xian's hand and said.
"The young man is fast into the village, alas, the old man is not good at his brain, so let so many children stand outside. Little Tiger is going to prepare a meal to entertain the guests! ”
"Huh?! Be! Be! ”
An old man who looked to be in his sixties kept saying yes, and then ran back to the village as fast as he could.
"He... The body is so good......"
"Hehe, it's not okay to be in bad health in this kind of place~"
Later, under the leadership of the village chief, Yu Xian and the ship girls came to the village, and Yu Xian and Missouri came to the village chief's house to listen to the village chief's story.
"Young man, there is a great abyss over the other side of the village! Thousands of seas poured into it, but it never filled up, at least not for as long as I can remember. ”
The old village chief paused, took a sip of tea, and continued to talk to the two of them.
"That abyss was once when I was young and ignorant......"
Yu Xian looked at the old village chief with a surprised expression, are you the terminator? You've been in such a horrible place?
After Yu Xian came to the village, he used the Admiral Network to scan the huge abyss on the sea behind the village! It was a huge hole fifty kilometers from the shore, a huge abyss twelve kilometers in diameter in the shape of an undersea volcano. Birds flying above it will fall directly into it, and it is quite wicked, and from above, there seems to be a thin red line at the bottom, surrounded by blue-green, and more subtle fluorescent dots around the red line, making it look as if it is a fierce beast's pupils looking at the sky.
"Then why did you go in, and how did you get out?"
The old village chief smiled awkwardly and said:
"Back then, in order to chase my lover and prove myself, I rowed a small boat to the edge of the abyss."
Yu Xian and Missouri looked at the old village chief with expressions that they looked like dead little experts.
"Ahem, cough, cough~ Later, when I wanted to paddle back, I was sucked by the turbulent seawater, and then I was washed down into the abyss......"
“……”
Yu Xian and Missouri had such expressions.
"Fortunately, I had a special stone that could fluoresce at the time..."
The village chief took out a green and shiny stone and showed it to Yu Xian and Missouri.
"Huh? A jade that resembles a pearl of the night? ”
Yu Xian and Missouri discussed with each other for a while and then said to the village chief.
"Well, this is a specialty of our village~ When I first fell into the abyss, I thought I was dead, but when I fell more than a hundred meters, there was no light around at all. And the further down it goes, the more I feel a feeling of horror and palpitations......"
The old village chief squinted his eyes and thought of words to describe the feeling.
"It's like, it's like there's a monster staring at you and trying to eat you! That's right, it's the instinctive feeling of facing the beastmen! ”
The old village chief patted his thigh and said.
Missouri wrote behind Yu Xian's back with his hand.
"Dark giant bats?"
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Then I was so scared that I suddenly saw a light on my neck. As soon as I untied my clothes, it was a necklace made of this stone... When the clothes were untied, there was a shrill scream all around, and then the feeling of being targeted was gone. And then this water flow changed, and I came to another world below! ”
Yu Xian was stunned, and the old village chief said that it might be the underground world, right? I've been to the underworld myself, but it's not him, that's it.
"Then the boat broke down, and I crawled to the shore and saw many strange animals and plants, they looked terrible, but they were afraid of the green light from my necklace, and when I came near them, they would scream and run away or melt away."
Missouri looked at the jade-green stone in his hand, and no matter how much he checked it, he didn't find anything like radiation... It's really hard to understand.
"Later, I didn't know how far I had walked, but I was hungry. After I walked out of the depths of the jungle, I found countless people in the outer plains, and all that was recorded in the history of our village was a few blood-red "mandala" flowers found thousands of years ago! ”
The old village chief continued to describe with a frightened expression.
"According to the old people's mouth, the blood-colored mandalas can only be opened at the junction of hell and reality, and they can only live bright red and gorgeous by absorbing the nutrients of blood and corpses... Of course, I mustered up the courage to pull a flower and began to run as far as I wanted, and after I finished pulling the mandala flower, there was a cry like a variety of monsters, and I obeyed the ancient ancestral teachings! Get a mandala flower and turn around and run, no matter what you hear, don't look back and run until there is no sound! ”
The old village chief panted violently as if he had once again managed to run for his life.
Missouri: "Then why did you take the mandala flowers?" ”
Missouri didn't understand why risk the danger if it was as difficult as he said.
"The Flower of Life and Death?"
"The Flower of Life and Death!"
Yu Xian and the old village said at the same time, Yu Xian is a question sentence and the village is indeed an affirmative sentence. Then the village looked at Yu Xian in surprise and then asked:
"How do you know?! Our village can only come in and can't get out, how do you know the ancient secrets of our village? ”
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"In a place called the Huaxia Gobi, there are some ancient legends, among which is the legend of the mandala flower."
"Alas! Looks like they've found the gate to hell too......"
"Later, I went back to the shore to find a way back, and it was a coincidence~ Just in time for the eruption of the abyssal spring once in forty years, I was washed up on the surface of the sea, and then fell to my death......"
"Poof~!"
"Poof~!"
Yu Xian and Missouri were drinking tea, but they were sprayed to the ground by the old village chief's words.
And Missouri immediately took out four companies of main guns and aimed them at the village chief, and Yu Xian hurriedly stopped Missouri.
"Calm down! Calm down, Missouri! ”
"The Admiral said he was dead, but he was still moving, and I suspect that he was disguised in the deep sea!"
The old village chief also shook his head helplessly, and then unbuttoned his shirt.
"Old rascal! Put it on or I'll shoot! ”
"Young people now......"
The old village chief felt that young people were not calm at all now, what age did they age, what else could they do when they took off their clothes.
Yu Xian: "Huh! Missouri, do you see the tattoo on his chest? ”
"Uh(⊙o⊙)... Is this the mandala flower? ”
Missouri and Yu Xian looked at the mandala flowers that bloomed unusually brightly on the skinny chest.
"I hid the mandala flowers in my clothes, and then I fell to my death on the surface of the sea and snapped! I felt that the world was dark, and then when I woke up, it was in the village and everyone was about to burn me, hehe! Back then, I scared them when I resurrected the corpse~ hahaha! ”
The old village chief smiled disrespectfully.
"Then I found the mandala flower on my chest... And I found that the older I get, the brighter and bigger it blooms~ I feel that when it is fully bloomed, it is my time of death... And this year is the year of the eruption of the abyssal spring, and it just so happens that history says: The mandala flower represents life for forty years, and forty years represents death, so it is the flower that represents life and death. And I lived to the last twenty and forty years. ”
“……”
Yu Xian and Missouri looked at the old man silently, it turned out that his longevity was exchanged for fear?!
