Through the windows of the submarine, you can see that the color of the sea is gradually changing from blue-black to inky black, and even the light of a searchlight cannot penetrate the deep black.

The visual range gradually shortened, and Tang Juyi also slowly felt a strange atmosphere spreading from the depths of this rift, as if it was a living thing, and at some point it began to permeate the surroundings, enveloping the entire submarine.

The depths of the sea were silent, with little movement other than the sound of the submarine itself, making one wonder if there was any living thing.

But it was in this silence that Tang Juyi felt furious in his heart, feeling as if something was peeking around him, dormant. There is only black sea water in the field of vision, but there seems to be more than black seawater.

"Since you can't see your surroundings with the searchlights on, it might as well turn off the lights, maybe it's safer."

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Juyi chose to turn off the searchlight and let the submarine sink in the dark in order to avoid the submarine's lights from provoking something that didn't look very friendly.

Although there was no evidence of other biological activities at this depth, the lingering uneasiness made Tang Juyi make a more cautious choice.

As a result, not only the searchlights outward, but even the lights in the cabin inside the submarine were turned off by Tang Juyi, and what followed was a rapidly spreading darkness, as if the black sea water poured into the submarine and completely submerged him.

This quiet and dark environment, surrounded by the sea outside, can easily give people the illusion of suffocation. Even if Tang Juyi knew this very well, he couldn't help but have such an illusion - this is a subconscious instinct, and it is not something that can be overcome after realizing the problem.

The submarine was still sinking, and the surrounding waters were still calm, with only a slight humming sound coming from the submarine's energy system.

Tang Juyi sat in front of the console, looking at the sea water outside the glass in front of him, but found that the picture in front of him began to become distorted.

Something in the deep, thick black gradually became clear, but it was obscured by the sea, and only a hazy shape could be seen. Even so, the gradually revealing outline still made Tang Juyi's blood flow all over his body speed up, and even his heart was beating uncontrollably.

Tang Juyi tried to move his limbs, only to realize that he could no longer control his body, and could only look at the scene in front of him like a puppet, looking at the constantly distorting darkness and the unincomprehensible outline.

"Death Illusion ......"

At this moment, Tang Juyi only has these four words in his heart.

Just like when he first boarded the big ship to Deathcurse Island, Tang Juyi at this time once again fell into a state called "Death Illusion" by the residents of Deathcursed Island, and was attracted by some indescribable existence under the Deathcursed Island, resulting in a completely unpredictable visual picture.

Everything around him disappeared in Tang Juyi's perception range, and a large amount of seawater began to pour in, completely submerging him, and crushing his body like a grinding plate, as if trying to crush him alive.

Not only that, a sense of hopelessness that was powerless to fight emerged from his heart, especially when staring at the huge silhouette, which made it even more difficult for Tang Juyi to breathe, and he couldn't even look away.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his gaze was forced to stay on the distorted and distant silhouette ahead.

Vague whispers mingled in Tang Juyi's ears, echoing in his mind, unable to distinguish the specific content.

Cold, heavy, suffocating, terrifying, desperate...... All kinds of emotions took root in Tang Juyi's body like vines, using his flesh and spirit as nutrients, eating away at everything he had, and growing with an even more amazing momentum.

Syllable......

The submarine shook suddenly, as if it had collided with some hard object, causing Tang Juyi's body to take off briefly for a moment, and then fell to the floor, and at the same time woke up from the state of being dominated by illusion.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Tang Juyi curled up and fell to the ground, coughing unconsciously, trying to cough out the seawater that had been poured into his throat and trachea before, but after a while he realized that he was not submerged by the sea water at all, but was still staying in the submarine.

The distortion in front of him hadn't completely dissipated, so it was difficult for him to make out what was around him, and he had to fumble around to find the location of the console.

Trying his best to support his body, Tang Juyi barely reached the switch of the cabin light, used a little strength to turn it on, and then collapsed on the floor, breathing hard and weak.

The light overhead was a bit harsh at the moment, but at least it dispelled the unsettling darkness.

After lying on the floor for a few minutes, Tang Juyi regained his breathing, and the strength in his limbs was also recoverable, barely allowing him to stand up with the console.

Holding his still drowsy head, Tang Juyi struggled to find the switch of the searchlight, and after pressing the button, the vision around the submarine suddenly lit up, although the range was still narrow, but it was enough for Tang Juyi to see the general situation.

"Whew...... The hallucinations came a little suddenly......"

Rubbing his temples, Tang Juyi tried to calm the blood vessels that had been beating suddenly, but it didn't have much effect.

Different from what he saw in the last hallucination, Tang Juyi did not see the outline of the Death Curse Island again this time, but saw an extremely large tentacle, in the depths of the distant sea, like a towering mountain, just a slight wave caused a huge underwater vortex, and made the surrounding rocks tremble.

The tentacle poked out from somewhere in the crack of the sea rock and clinged to the rock wall of the crack, with a force that made people involuntarily kneel down, just seeing the outline made Tang Juyi despair.

It was a creature that had absolutely no possibility to fight against, the ultimate symbol of the power of nature, and the idea of confronting it was like trying to contend with a thunderstorm from the heavens.

"Does it seem that there is such a thing as a deep-sea monster...... Judging from the size of the tentacle, it is not impossible for the main body to be larger than the entire Deathcurse Island. ”

His thoughts gradually calmed down, and Tang Juyi recalled the picture he saw when he first hallucinated, when the Death Curse Island he saw was surrounded by many huge tentacles protruding from the sea, as if there was a giant octopus comparable to a mountain under the Death Curse Island, which was about to swallow the entire island.

In connection with the hallucination picture that appeared this time, it also had the outline of that huge tentacle, and it was more real and clear than the picture in the first hallucination, which easily made Tang Juyi think of the reason for the appearance of the sea rock crack.

"The large-scale shipwreck more than half a year ago was followed by a huge wave that submerged nearly half of Haichao City, and Nancheng District also sank in it. Not only that, but the inhabitants of Deathcurse Island began to experience death hallucinations, and the content of the hallucinations was extremely similar. In addition, the time of occurrence of the sea rock fissure is also close to the estimated time of the shipwreck......"

It only takes a moment of thought to perceive the connection implicit.

"So, the appearance of the sea rock crack exposed the ruins of an ancient civilization, and at the same time awakened a troll sleeping in the depths of the ocean, and caused the disaster that followed?"

Thinking of this, Tang Juyi looked out the window, the submarine had already sunk to the bottom of this sea rock fissure, and he could already see the mud and sand at the bottom by relying on the light of the searchlight.

The bottom of this fissure has a relatively obvious slope angle, and it seems to be concave towards the center, but due to the short visual distance of the seawater, Tang Juyi is temporarily unable to determine what the center of the depression is.

"If you go down this slope, you should be able to find the underwater cavern."

Tang Juyi stared at the surging darkness in front of him, only to feel that the ominous aura was unprecedentedly strong.
