Chapter 67: The Underwater Abyss

It was another sunny morning, and the sea was blue.

This is the thirty-fifth day since everyone entered the South China Sea. During this time, there were no thrilling naval battles, no unknown islands, and every day the sun rose and sunset, and the ship fell into a monotonous and calm process. The boring life at sea has long smoothed out everyone's interest. In addition to daily work, more and more people are choosing to stay in their own rooms, and no longer like to stay on the deck and watch the scenery at sea as before.

Zhang Xiaohu is the opposite of everyone, today he has a smile on his face and looks extremely happy. Because after many days of recuperation, Yan Cannon could finally be supported to walk on the ground. Accompanied by Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan, he came to the deck and enjoyed the tranquil sea scenery for the first time.

Zhang Xiaohu held Yan Dacang and looked at the sea in the distance together, feeling extremely down-to-earth in his heart. He felt that if he really couldn't find the direction to go back, it would be a good choice to find a livable island to live on this sea with everyone.

Recently, Zhang Xiaohu often goes back and forth between the two ships, he and Chenyi have been studying the cylindrical object that they brought back, they have no clue in the early stage, but recently they have finally made some progress, they accidentally found that this cylinder in a high-temperature environment, will release a strong magnetic field, can affect the surrounding metal objects, and will cause the strengthening of gravity in space, but once the temperature exceeds 2000 degrees, he will change to absorption, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment, And bring the surrounding temperature down to below zero. Chenyi concluded that the object was supposed to be a column of energy, containing an extremely powerful energy that could release a magnetic field that could alter the gravitational pull around it, and it was probably the most important part of the chamber. Knowing what this thing does, you just need to find the right device to harness its energy.

According to the charts, at their current rate, they will see another island in three days, which is a time for everyone who has been drifting at sea for many days to adjust and rest, and also to replenish some fresh water and carry out some necessary repairs to the boat.

They strictly followed the direction indicated by the chart, for fear of deviating from the course, but with Alebayo present, as long as there was no problem with the chart, they would definitely see the unknown island in the corresponding time.

In order to boost everyone's morale, Chenyi deliberately released the news that he was about to land in three days. Everyone was really excited, and everyone was excited and inexplicably counted the time every day, waiting for the arrival of the shore to rest.

Three days later, when the sun had just left the sea and the sky was still hazy, the deck was already full of anxiously waiting crowds, all looking forward to seeing the island one step ahead, and hoping that they would be the first to set foot on it.

In the mist of the sea, everyone stood in anticipation for several hours, until the sun rose to its highest, and there was still no shadow of the island around.

As time passed, people began to whisper, and soon the suspicion and resentment began to spread on a large scale, and the deck was noisy.

Chenyi's face was not good-looking, she looked at Alaibayo and wondered, "Mr. Alaibayo, what's going on?" ”

Holding the compass and nautical chart in his hand, Alebayo also looked confused, and said: "My lord, the direction is absolutely not wrong, I am driving in strict accordance with the nautical chart markings, is there a problem with that nautical chart?" ”

Chen Yi shook his head: "Then Wu Jiao won't coax us on this, and he doesn't have enough time to falsify, we have confirmed the authenticity of this chart before, there should be no problem, is it other reasons?" Could it be that the island has sunk? ”

Alaibayo looked at the sea and said, "If the island really sinks, there will be traces on the bottom of the sea, so I'll take someone down to take a closer look!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu also found a problem on the four-pointed asterisk, and he took a fast boat to the Goddess not far away. When I met Chenyi, Alebayo had just left with a few people who were good at water.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the departing Alebayo and asked, "Uncle Alaibayo, is this?" ”

Chen Yi replied: "Senior, the island marked on the chart is gone!" Mr. Alebayo took people to see if there would be any discoveries underwater. ”

"I know, I'm here to talk to you about this." Zhang Xiaohu looked at the irritable crowd on the deck and said, "These people are starting to mess around with their temperament again, and the fake goddess you are looking for is a little overwhelmed!" ”

Chen Yi smiled bitterly: "It's fake, how much do you expect her to play?" "She found someone to pretend to be herself, which was nothing more than finding a reasonable identity for herself in front of her classmates, and she didn't think too much about it in the first place.

Alai Bayo went for two or three hours, and he returned to the Goddess with people wet, and said to Chenyi with a serious expression: "My lord, the situation here is not the same as we imagined before!" ”

Chen Yi was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you find underwater?"

Alaibayo said, "Lord Goddess, look at the chart again, what is the mark here?" Chen Yi heard this, opened the chart, a few saw that the chart was drawn in accordance with the direction very clearly, at the top of the chart is a complete continent, and then the location of the dragon island was marked on it one by one, and the continuation of the inner is some scattered in the sea, large and small islands, the closer to Tianzhu Mountain, the higher the density of the islands, there are many islands on the chart are almost connected, at the bottom of the chart, is the location of Tianzhu Mountain, marking its size on the island, far more than all the islands, It looks like a small piece of land.

There was a distinct mark in the sea they were in now, but it was smaller than the botanical island they had passed before.

Alebayo explained: "My lord, because all the charts that were marked were islands. This gives us the illusion that when we see these signs, we think that these are islands. But just now when we went down, we found that there was an abyss under the sea at the marked location. I swam over with someone to take a look, the water was very cold, and there was no bottom, and we didn't have the tools to dive, so we had to come back and report to you. We must have mistaken the chart marking! ”

After listening to Chenyi, she felt completely relaxed inside, and it seemed that there was no problem with the chart. It depicts not only the surface of the sea, but also below the surface of the sea. It seems that this time I realized that I was wrong, but I should pay attention in the future, and I can't casually disclose the news to others in order to improve morale. The recurrence of the province has disappointed everyone.

But since there is an abyss below, there is nothing to stay, and after so much time here, it is time to hurry up and leave.

She was about to give the order to set sail, when suddenly the hull of the ship shook violently, and a large number of people fell on the deck.

I don't know who shouted, "There's something underwater!" ”

Everyone moved to the side of the ship and looked down, and found a large black mass lurking under the turquoise water.

Everyone looked at the sea nervously, and some people were curious to throw some debris on the water, breaking the originally calm sea, and a huge tentacle suddenly rushed out of the water, and the waves dozens of meters high on the water surface hit the deck directly, drenching many people into soup chickens.

The huge pink tentacles, with large and small irregular suckers on them, were constantly wriggling.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the tentacles sticking out of the water and exclaimed, "Is this a giant octopus?" ”

The sea surface was boiling, with countless white bubbles, a head like a hill poked out of the water, two huge black eyes, looking strangely at the crowd on the deck, and the rest of the tentacles also stretched out of the water at the same time, trying to pull the goddess into the water.

Chen Yi shouted: "Don't move, everyone!" ”

But under the intense fear and stimulus, soon the people on the deck began to run in a panic, accompanied by sharp shouts.

Chen Yi said angrily: "These people don't want to die!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu saw those tentacles and began to rush towards the chaotic crowd. He was anxious and scared, human beings had no ability to resist in front of this monster at all, were they going to die here today?

Alaibayo looked at Chenyi helplessly, and said tremblingly: "My lord, we are afraid of meeting Arthur!" "In the legend of Dragon Island, there is a terrifying monster living in the ocean, with a huge body and eight powerful tentacles, and its name is Arthur Fear. Legend has it that it was this monster who took the Dragon Island from the continent of the Twin Worlds and dragged it to the sea, and it was a demon god capable of destroying the world. I didn't expect to really encounter this mythical monster today.

Chenyi looked at Alebayo and shouted, "Mr. Alebayo, if you don't want to die, go to the deck and throw the barrels I prepared earlier to that thing, and leave the rest to me!" ”
