Chapter Twenty-Eight: The King Squid
The description of the "Wingless Emperor" is too familiar to Li Yan.
There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.
The Wingless Emperor is simply the Kun mentioned in Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away".
At the bottom of the so-called "bottomless mouth", there is actually a giant kun that has lived for an unknown number of years, and it has even been named the "wingless emperor" by the world in a certain era.
How big is this Wingless Emperor?
The unknown black whale that flew over Li Yan's head just now was at least nearly two thousand meters long, comparable to a Wangfujing Street! But such a huge black whale, in front of the "Wingless Emperor", is like a flying cow's hair, and there is no room for resistance at all, and the two black holes in front of Li Yan that absorb everything should be the nostrils of the "Wingless Emperor", or some other organ.
Such an existence is difficult to measure in terms of manpower, Wufang Lao? Four Emperors? It could be even higher.
The frenzied water was turbulent, and a golden crown that I didn't know what year it was passed in front of Li Yan's eyes, but Li Yan had no time to care about it. He finally understood how Ortonk's ancestors had their adventures in this deep ravine.
Because of the Wingless Emperor.
The rapid rise of the Wingless Emperor will unconsciously swallow a large amount of river water, and all kinds of bizarre treasures and creatures will also be swallowed into the stomach of the Wingless Emperor. Even if it weren't, the turbulence it rolled up would most likely bring the treasures of the deep trenches to the surface of the fissures, or even to the bottom of the Mississippi River......
If you still want to get anything from the bottomless mouth, you must rely on the "Wingless Emperor".
Li Yan gritted his teeth and put away the summoning gold medal, he forcibly supported his body with twisted muscles, and let this suction force suck him, along with countless deep groove creatures, into the black hole.
Not long after Li Yancai sank into the "black hole", the two black holes turned out to be flesh red, and then closed tightly, and the unstoppable suction in the deep ditch was also eliminated.
As the "black hole" closed, Li Yan's body load suddenly lightened. The pressure of the deep water disappeared all at once.
The Pig Po Dragon King seized the opportunity and spit the golden stone slab into Li Yan's arms, turning himself into a small red snake, tightly wrapped around Li Yan's wrist, trembling with fright.
Li Yan barely stood firm, it was dark everywhere, he couldn't step on the ground, he couldn't see the top on his head, and he couldn't tell the front and back, left and right. Only the strange corpses of countless deep ditch creatures fell down, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Seeing that Li Yan was stunned, the Dragon King of the Pig Po asked cautiously: "My lord, are we, here, dead?" β
"I can't kill you."
Li Yan has such confidence, in addition to summoning the gold medal, but also because the "Wingless Emperor" is so huge, so huge that it is almost impossible for it to pay special attention to Li Yan. Maybe when, the "Wingless Emperor" sneezed, and Li Yan flew out of this ghost place.
"But, but my lord, how do I feel, it's not floating up, it's sinking."
Li Yan's brows furrowed. He didn't doubt the speculation of the Pig Po Dragon King, because in front of his retina, the depth given by the ninja was also constantly refreshing.
1,000 meters, 1,500 meters, 2,000 meters......
5,000 meters!
Once the Wingless Emperor spit out Li Yan at this time, without the hunting of any monsters, the water pressure alone was enough to kill him in a few seconds.
Li Yan's heart was heavy, and he couldn't see it on his face.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
After he finished speaking, he glanced down at the golden slate found by the Dragon King of Zhu Po, which was forty centimeters square, and on which only one sentence was written: "We should appeal to rational thought, to nature itself, to all that happens in the natural world, not to any one emperor." β
γHandbook of a University Scholar in the Ancient City of Llalayeγ
Catalog: Foreign body
[Scholar's Words]: Those who possess this object will suffer the resentment of the Necromancy, but will be able to read all the words that come from the ancient city of L'Areye.
Notes: This world belongs to the Emperors from the Bottomless Mouth! The turn of the century has always been like this. But in a brief time beyond antiquity, a group of creatures calling themselves "scholars" briefly broke this iron law. With the culture and knowledge of "naturalism", they established a city-state called "Laleye", which opposed the emperor, and scholars began to study the origin of the "emperors", using their unique culture and knowledge to decipher the secrets of the "emperor" and the "bottomless mouth". It's just a pity that all this was in vain......
Putting the stone slab away, Li Yan swam in the direction where the corpses fell.

I don't know how long it has been, but there is still endless water around. The tolerable soil reminded that the depth of the deep ditch that Li Yan was in at the moment was at least nearly 20,000 meters, and it was obviously impossible to go back with conventional methods.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, and the silent atmosphere of fear was like termites, always inadvertently destroying people's psychological defenses, a dead hammerhead shark and Li Yan staggered by, it had its fangs and blood mouth open, and its empty eyes were staring straight in a certain direction, and the heart of the pig dragon king who was watching was weak for a while.
But Li Yan's eyes lit up.
Beyond the dead body of the shark, in the distance was a mottled iron ship, a submarine to be exact!
It takes on the appearance of a very long cylindrical shape, more than a hundred meters long and ten meters wide. The ends are like cones, which look like a cigar. The bow of the boat is a sharp angle of attack, a window at each waist is located, and the propeller at the tail is covered with seaweed. The epidermis is concave and bulging, and it looks dilapidated.
Distorted symbols were vaguely visible on the hull, Li Yan didn't recognize them, but Li Yan could understand them.

Category: Waste
The remains of natural products of the city-state of Laleye.
Notes: You should know what the natural predator of the squid is, right? That's right, Nautilus!
Call!
Li Yan brought up the white splash, he jumped in front of the abandoned submarine, circled around it twice, and found that the submarine was still sealed, and couldn't help but be amazed.
He found the hatch and pulled it out, causing the entire submarine's hull to be deformed dramatically. Li Yan hurriedly got into it and sealed the leaking crack with ice.
The entire submarine was separated by four layers of partitions, and the hoistways were also intricate, and Li Yan spent more than ten minutes exploring from the engine room in the aft, all the way to the movable platform and watertight well in the middle section, and then to the wheelhouse in the bow. There was nothing of value, nothing left but the messy ruins, the faint symbols on the walls.
The only discovery was that Li Yan found many devices on the submarine, similar to the "triathlon ball" device.
Until he arrived at the captain's room, Li Yan found a clothed corpse lying on the operating table, with a piercing bullet hole on the right side of the skull, as if he had committed suicide by drinking bullets.
The golden walls glowed with fluorescent, and those were the words of Raleier.
"It turns out that our understanding of the "emperors" is too superficial. We used to think that the emperors were a group of intelligent beings with wonderful abilities, a group of monsters in the name of gods, who had been filled with the chaos of time in the past, who had dominated the time for tens of millions of years, and that we would end them and usher in a new era of worshipping nature. But we were wrong! We are just slaves of the new emperor, sweeping away the opposition party of the old era for him, and we, nothing, have changed. β
The "emperors" recorded in ancient texts are often a jellyfish, a huge fish, a tree, or perhaps a person. But in reality, the "emperors" are not just that! It is more likely to be a ghost, a will, a system, or even more abstract, incomprehensible existence than that. As long as it has the power to change an era. It is one of the emperors. So, what is the power to change our times? β
"It's nature itself! Naturalism, is the new emperor of this era! β
"It's a hoax!"
