Chapter 33 (II) The Dead Country Xuanwu

Gaia, who was holding Tang Shu's punishment, waited quietly around the sea cave, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, there were still schools of fish swimming around, but at this time, it became a dead silence, and it seemed that even the most basic waves had disappeared.

Just when Tang Shuxing couldn't help but stroke Gaia's back and wanted to ask her what was going on, something like green dust slowly floated out of the sea cave, and these things poured out of the sea cave, like dust brought out by a volcanic eruption, and then dispersed, and at the same time, some small fish that seemed to be lonely were wrapped in dust, and after struggling twice, their bodies quickly decayed.

The dust and the rotting fish were sucked into the cave again, and at the same time, Gaia opened her eyes, stretched her body, and first stuck her tail into the cave, and used the suction force to quickly fall directly into the depths of the cave.

It stands to reason that there should be buoyancy in the water, and Gaia, whose tail is facing down, should not have such a fast speed, but after falling in, Tang Shuxing immediately felt that there was a suction force that was dragging them towards the rapid fall downward, and that force seemed to be irresistible, and there was an invisible sense of oppression that poured into the whole body.

After falling for a long time, Gaia suddenly retracted her tail and wrapped Tang Shuxing in her body, at this moment, Tang Shuxing heard a loud "bang", and he opened his eyes and clearly saw from the gap in Gaia's body - there was a huge, barb, and sawtooth mouth biting Gaia's body.

Fortunately, Gaia's body was as solid as a rock, and the thing couldn't be bitten several times, so she had to spit it out, suck it in again, and bite it hard.

This time, the thing had a lot of broken teeth, a sharp and strange sound in its throat, and finally gave up and spit Gaia out completely. At this point, Gaia immediately stretched out. Turning around, he swam quickly towards the lateral opening on the right side of the cave, avoiding the sharp rocks that protruded from the surrounding area.

And in the rear, the unknown and invisible monster sucked desperately at the entrance of the cave. Gaia was almost sucked back several times, and although Tang Shuxing's hands on his back were holding on to the rope, his legs were also stretched backwards due to the suction, and as soon as he let go, he would instantly become the monster's mouth.

Gaia struggled to swim forward, finally reaching the entrance of the horizontal sea cave, and then burrowed head-on to the right, directly into a large transparent stone and hiding.

Tang Shuxing, who had been so frightened that he almost lost consciousness before, could clearly see through the transparent stone at this time, and the suction of the monster could be seen with the naked eye in the water. And they had sucked a number of smaller stones and objects into it, and then spit out the same dust they had seen from above, corroding the surroundings.

The monster vented its anger there in this way, and it lasted for several minutes before it was forced to shut up, turn around, and inhale nothing more.

Oh my god. Tang Shuxing was completely stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many terrifying things in the sea below Hashima, but what surprised him was still ahead - when Tang Shuxing turned along Gaia's head to the other side, he clearly saw a city wrapped in a huge transparent barrier, a silver-white city, a city so beautiful that people didn't know what to do.

This is the Xuanwu Kingdom? I don't know how long it took for such a sentence to come to Tang Shuxing's mind.

Gaia swam her body and swam toward the bottom of the massive barrier. Stopped at one of the entrances there, he shook his body slightly, signaling that Tang Shuxing could come down.

Tang Shuxing let go of the rope, slipped down, untied all his equipment, and then pointed to the entrance of the cave and motioned for Gaia to go with him.

At this time. Gaia shook her head and said no, then moved forward and probed her head to show that the sea cave was too small for her body to penetrate, and sucked water through her nostrils and sprayed water. He said that he couldn't survive after being out of the water for too long, and that he needed to wait here.

Tang Shuxing nodded, grabbed his things and climbed up from the entrance.

After climbing up to the entrance, Tang Shuxing tentatively took off the respirator, and found that the air in it was very familiar, and after recalling it for a long time, he found that the gas in the barrier that enveloped the Xuanwu Kingdom was almost exactly the same as what he breathed in Shangdu, but with a slight strange smell, as if there was a lot of limestone piled up here.

Tang Shuxing squatted down and began to hang the necessary equipment on his body, checking the guns and ammunition, and at the same time hanging the dragon lin blade on his waist, hanging his assault rifle in the single room, holding an automatic pistol and slowly climbing towards it from the stairs.

The entrance to the Xuanwu Kingdom was a huge staircase, the width of the staircase was nearly fifty meters long, and when you looked at it, there were at least hundreds of steps, but in fact it was not very high, as if it was just trying to make people who entered this country awe-inspiring.

Walking up the stairs, there is a huge arch in front, the arch has a strong Greek style, but the arch and the front full of columns are carved with a lot of words and patterns, the text is very complex, exactly the same as the ones seen in the bracelet before, and the patterns on it are all carved how people work and work, as if to commemorate life on land.

The moment he walked into the arch, Tang Shuxing saw that there were many stone carvings around, the position of the stone carvings was not regular, some were lying, some were standing, and there were several people gathered around to check a person lying on the ground, and there were many stone statues in the rightmost aisle that seemed to show people being treated after being injured.

"How so?" Tang Shuxing glanced at it, regretting that he didn't bring the camera equipment, so he had to climb towards a high tower next to the arch, wanting to stand on the commanding heights and take a good look at what the city looked like.

Entering the tower, there are also many stone statues inside, many of these stone statues are maintaining the appearance of corpses, standing there with cold weapons in hand and talking with their heads down, and at the top of the tower, in addition to a few corpses wearing armor, there is also something similar to a telescope, but there are many sophisticated machinery under the object.

Tang Shuxing approached the thing, looked from the position that seemed to be the camera's viewfinder, and sure enough, he saw the situation in the city in the distance, he looked around, and found that the size of this city was several times that of the dungeon seen in the Asaya volcano, and it was estimated that it would take ten days and half a month to walk through this city.

"There is such a big city under the sea." Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, but he didn't understand why there were so many statues, why didn't he see the corpses? When he first thought of this, Tang Shuxing reached out and touched a stone, which was a quadrangular stone.

The moment he touched it, he realized that it didn't seem to be a stone originally, but that it looked like a grenade. There were also many traces of explosion damage in the city, as well as many stone statues scattered on the ground, and at this moment, he reconnected with the past that Gaia said. Suddenly I understood!

"This is the power of basalt!" Tang Shuxing suddenly realized, "The green dragon scales represent cold and water, the red phoenix feather represents the flame, and the basalt represents the hard and petrified ......."

Gaia's father didn't know the power of basalt, and he just wanted to use it to achieve victory and then destroy it, but he didn't expect that basalt would instantly turn all the people in the city into stone statues.

"Perhaps, Gaia's father later studied basalt and just wanted to save these people." Tang Shuxing walked down the tower and slowly walked around the city, looking around.

The city was far more prosperous than he had imagined, but everything had turned to stone. People, food, animals...... Everything was petrified, and the houses that were supposed to be of other colors were also petrified, and the stone houses we see today have also been petrified.

The power of basalt is truly terrifying. No, not only basalt, but also green dragon scales and red phoenix feathers. A single relic can destroy a city in an instant, but what if these things are combined? What power will it have? It can destroy the whole world in an instant, right?

Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing stopped, and he saw a person who looked like a mother holding two children in the corner, the mother pressed the children's heads to her chest, and she stared at the position where Tang Shuxing was standing now, although it had been corpsed. He couldn't see the eyeballs in his sockets, but Tang Shuxing could still feel the despair and fear in the mother's eyes at the moment when the basalt power covered him.

Tang Shuxing didn't understand what Reinhardt was going to do at this time, was this madman going to destroy the world? This is what this pure descendant of ancient humans wants to do? What's the point? No matter how crazy the race is, they know how to maintain their living environment, and even the ancient humans of the past know that they regret it in the end. Even if he didn't destroy the holy artifact in his hand, he still wouldn't take it out and use it again.

This and the new human beings, after seeing the power of nuclear weapons, understand how to really use that kind of thing on a large scale, so no one dares to use that kind of thing to achieve a quick victory, but in order to protect themselves, they are firmly holding this kind of terrorist weapon in their hands that should not be born in the world.

Distracted! Tang Shuxing shook his head vigorously. All that came to his mind was the tragic scenes, the cries of children, the screams of despair, and the men and women who gradually collapsed in the harsh environment for the rest of their lives.

"Basalt must be found right away!" Tang Shuxing looked around, speculating about where the people of the Xuanwu Kingdom would put that thing, he recalled everything he had seen in the telescope before, and remembered that there was a place in the west of the city where there were the most people, and there were many people fighting in that position, but some of them were desperately resisting, and there was a house in that location that was somewhat out of place with the other buildings in the city, like a large hall.

Maybe it's there! Tang Shuxing quickened his pace and ran quickly in that direction.

After a long time, the panting Tang Shuxing rushed to that position, and after running to the square, he saw countless stone statues fighting there - many stone statues were cut down to the ground, and several gorgeously dressed people who looked very strange were obviously demonizers, and they stood behind and commanded the corpse demons with their hands down to attack the main hall. And at the entrance of the main hall, countless ragged corpses were holding cold weapons and grenades, and they were making a final struggle.

This is it! Tang Shuxing ran through the group of stone statues and ran towards it, thinking that if Gaia's father despaired of the basalt and left the floating island, he might return again and put the basalt back here.

At this time, Tang Shuxing, who passed through the stone statue group and ran into the main hall, did not notice the murderous white shadows hidden behind some of the stone statues.
