Chapter 554: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Part II)
In the deep sea, Beiye and Mu Shi formed a formation one after the other, unhurriedly following the giant mermaid thousands of kilometers away. As the two of them tried to close a little closer, the monster immediately quickened up vigilantly to distance itself, then continued to stop and look back at them.
Spiritual power is not allowed to get close to communicate, and they are not allowed to approach, although this monster can't speak, but its vigilant eyes are very human. Mu Shi communicated with Beiye and decided to follow it according to the other party's wishes to see what it wanted to do.
The monster swims so fast that the fluctuations of the sea are almost invisible wherever it passes, and its body's adaptation to the sea has evolved to a terrifying level. It's just that there are no other creatures in this sea, and it doesn't matter how powerful it is.
Mu Shi was observing the large "ugly mermaid" in front of him, while secretly guessing and complaining.
The concept of time in the sea is very vague, and the strength of Mu Shi and Beiye does not have such a great need for food supplies, so I don't know how long I have been swimming with this monster, and different scenery finally appeared in the empty deep sea.
The sea line here is also obviously much lower than before, and Mu Shi saw the undulating seabed, and I don't know if it was the crustal mountains on the bottom of the sea, or something else.
But that's at least good news.
Mu Shi and Beiye stopped almost at the same time, glanced at each other, and saw joy in each other's eyes. Mu Shi nodded slightly, and pinched a magic seal with his hand, controlling the flow of the water element, and speeding up.
The monster in front of it glanced back, screamed sharply, and sped into the building at the bottom of the sea.
Mu Shi didn't see it, and continued to speed up, the scene in front of him changed more and more, the original uneven seabed began to appear broken stones, looking at the neat facet to know that it was definitely done by man, all the stones were covered with a thick layer of sea scale.
The messy rocks grew more and more and bigger, lying on their backs to the bottom of the sea, quietly bearing the corrosion of the sea.
It wasn't until a stone block appeared, apparently the remains of a huge stone pillar, that Mu Shi could finally determine that this was a trace of civilization activity. So that monster deliberately lured them here, does it still have a high level of intelligence?
Mu Shi was thinking, and Bei Ye was also thinking. As far as the eye could see, the layers of large pieces of rubble stretched into the distance, and I didn't know what else existed in the depths, or if they were waiting for them any longer.
"Where did it go?" Mu Shi suddenly touched the northern night with his spiritual power.
"It adapts so well to the sea that I can't find it if I want to hide it." Beiye shook his head slightly and replied, "Be careful, don't let your guard down." β
"Well, I understand." Mu Shi nodded, and after a brief exchange, the two fell to the bottom of the sea and began to walk in the gravel formation, observing whether the stones were guided.
It's just that the corrosive power of the sea water is too strong, and over the years, these stones have been polished extremely smooth, even if there are a little textures, you can't see why.
This turned out to be the hometown of the Demon Clan and the Law Shi Clan, Mu Shi couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Wow~" There was a slight sound of water flowing, causing Mu Shi and Beiye to raise their heads at the same time and forget to the left front, the huge "ugly mermaid" was poking its head out from behind a boulder, staring directly at the two of them.
To be honest, the creepy feeling of suddenly finding yourself staring at such a monster is uncontrollable.
And when the monster saw Mu Shi and Bei Ye seeing it, it immediately floated up and swam towards the depths. After swimming a few hundred meters, he stopped, turned back and continued to stare at the two of them.
"Uh...... If I don't feel wrong, it seems like let's keep up? Mu Shi guessed.
"Hmm." Bei Ye stared at the monster for a moment, then held Mu Shi's hand and said lightly, "Follow up, I want to see what it wants to do?" This voice revealed the incomparable confidence in his own strength, Mu Shiwan smiled, and then held the hand of the North Night Ground and floated up, manipulating the water element to move forward with the enchantment.
When the monster saw Mu Shi and the two of them following, he turned his head and continued to move on.
This time it seemed to have no scruples, and its speed became very fast, up and down the uneven seabed, and shuttled freely. Mu Shi was a little caught off guard by its speed, and barely kept up with it.
As the speed increases, the surrounding rubble is constantly changing, and the shape of the building is becoming more and more obvious, more like a ruin sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Where the hell is it going to take us?" Mu Shi looked at the shadow of the mermaid who had turned into a small dot, and secretly guessed in his heart.
Suddenly, the terrain of the seabed changed suddenly, and the huge height difference startled a large string of bubbles, Mu Shi didn't react because the speed was too fast, and when he saw it clearly, his feet had become empty.
Fortunately, even if Beiye hugged Mu Shi and controlled the enchantment and did not fall, it was still dark as far as the line of sight passed, but in the darkness, something was faintly sleeping.
"Look with mental power." North night reminder.
Mu Shi was stunned, closed her eyes, and the spiritual power in the sea covered her eyes, and when she opened them again, the darkness could no longer stop her sight.
A huge submarine basin came into view, and what shocked Mu Shi was that the buildings in this basin were intact, not to mention the traces of corrosion of the sea water and time, and there was not even a trace of sea scale.
It is a city that sleeps under the sea, and time seems to stand still forever.
"This ......" Mu Shi felt that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"There's a layered enchantment." Beiye raised his hand and waved a wave of energy, swept out a stream of water and rushed towards the city, and was stopped by something unclear halfway through, causing a ripple.
The ripples spread little by little, and gradually outlined an inverted pot-like transparent shield. It seems that the city has been able to sleep at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years without rotting, and it is the credit of this enchantment.
"Whew-" A huge tail twitched with ferocious force, and Bei Ye chuckled lightly, smashing a fist on the tail with one hand.
"Bang-"
"Tss
Accompanied by the sound of the collision of hard objects, there was also the monster's painful wail, and the fishtail quickly rolled back, and the monster reappeared, but its expression became much more fierce, and its eyes glared angrily at the northern night, which became more humane.
"Calm down, don't get me wrong, we don't mean to break this barrier!" Mu Shi knew that the other party was likely to be the guardian here, and Beiye's move made him mistakenly think that he was going to hurt here, so he hurriedly released his gentle spiritual power to explain.
The merfolk fell silent, their eyes still fixed on the northern night that gave it a great sense of threat. If it weren't for the familiar and comfortable feeling that Mu Shi brought to it, it might have done it directly. This is the bottom of the sea, even if you can't win the fight if you really want to fight, it's still okay to drag the north and end up together.
"You can explain a few words too." Mu Shi squeezed his eyes towards the north night.
Bei Ye spread his hands, "We want to go in, is there any other way not to break it?" β
Mu Shi: "......" This is a serious problem.
"Twitterββ!" The mermaid seemed to understand Beiye's words, and the scales on her body exploded all at once, staring at the two of them vigilantly, looking like they were about to move.
"Wow, don't you say a word!" Mu Shi wiped the sweat that didn't exist, and he felt like a pig teammate. Bei Ye was not afraid of this monster's fried hair, and smiled faintly and crossed his arms and said leisurely, "Then I will leave it to you to negotiate." β
Mu Shi had a big head, turned around and took two steps forward, and saw that the mermaid immediately retreated two steps, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, we won't forcibly break the enchantment." β
The mermaid looked at Beiye, who was indifferent to the play, and then looked at Mu Shi, who was trying his best to show friendship, and her blue-gray eyes rolled for a moment, and did not continue to retreat.
"You understand what I mean, don't you?" Mu Shi said tentatively.
The mermaid tilted her head, as if she understood the meaning of Mu Shi's words, and after a while, she really nodded, which made Mu Shi feel a little happy, and hurriedly asked, "Are there any other creatures in this world besides you?" Is there any land? β
The mermaid looked confused, tried to understand for a long time, and finally shook her head.
"Before coming to this sea in the future, it was more like a fierce beast with only animal instincts." Bei Ye touched his chin and watched Mu Shi's laborious communication, guessing, "But since coming to this normal sea area, its intelligence has been significantly improved." Perhaps this is the only pure land left in this collapsed world. β
Mu Shi listened to Beiye, "Is that what you mean?" β
The mermaid looked at Beiye and shook the fishtail, not knowing whether to agree or refute.
"Ahh Mu Shi pulled his hair a little broken. At this moment, the mermaid suddenly came up.
Its speed was really fast, Mu Shi reacted that its huge ugly face was already close in front of him, Mu Shi suddenly felt a momentary myocardial infarction, if there was a heart attack, he might have been scared to death.
Bei Ye squinted his eyes slightly, and did not do it directly, because he could feel that this mermaid was human, but out of this sea area, it seemed that he would be infected and suppressed by the inexplicable power of this world like him.
Compared with Mu Shi's small body, there is really a significant difference between the mermaid's huge body of dozens of meters, and it is extremely impactful in comparison.
Mu Shi forced his composure, looked at the hideous face of the mermaid at the same level as himself, and swallowed his saliva, "What do you want to do?" β
The mermaid's eyes rolled and stared at Mu Shi's left hand.
After Mu Shi looked at its line of sight, he subconsciously raised his left hand, and found that the mermaid's gaze was also deflected, and it seemed that he was interested in Mu Shi's left hand, or he cared about it.
But what is the difference between Mu Shi's left hand?
The only thing that can arouse the interest of mermaids is only one, and that is the poem of time and space.
"The poetry of time and space is the key to open that door......." Mu Shi couldn't help muttering to himself.
Bei Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and probably guessed the meaning of Mu Shi's repetition of this sentence.
Sure enough, in the next second, Mu Shi turned around and threw himself in front of Bei Ye as if he had discovered a new continent, "I understand!" Maybe the key that Gonghua said is not the door of Sui'an Continent! β
