Chapter 25 Follow the song
The surface of the water gradually submerged Leo's chest, and under the pressure of the water, Leo felt a little difficult to breathe.
With difficulty, he walked over to Nana and picked her up.
"What about Old Mo and Little Paul?" asked Leo about Ente.
"It should be near us, they are ten minutes slower than me. β
"Then let's go to the exit first, if the water rises, it should be easy to spot the two of them in a moment. Did Isenus tell you about the rules of action in this world?"
"I've said it all. β
"Wait, let's go to the woods first. "Izenas stopped. "We don't know how long we'll have to walk yet, but it's easier to get a few pieces of driftwood to use as a canoe. β
Leo is as good as a stream.
Once again, however, things turned out to be unexpected.
They did get a few trees down to use as vehicles, and in front of the strong strength and divine weapons of several people, even if these trees were condensed with divine power, they could not withstand a few ravages.
But what makes them difficult is not that the trees are too strong, but that they are too "fragile".
Not physically fragile, but the trees constantly dissolve in the seawater, turning into wisps of white mist that float into the sky.
Isenus sighed and said, "I see, these trees were created by the master of this divine kingdom with his mind, and after losing the restraint of his will, of course they will revert back to the form of primordial divine power. β
"Let's swim forward, it's useless to sigh here, pay attention to see if there is any old Mo on the water around you. Leo adjusted Nana's position so that she was lying on his back, and then he swam forward with everyone.
The water surface rose higher and higher, and Leo could no longer see the land under the water surface clearly, and the divine power mist that disintegrated into the surrounding divine kingdom became thicker and thicker, and gradually, Leo and the others lost their vision information.
"Stop, don't move. Isenus shouted suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Leo asked after a pause.
"Look at the water around you. β
Leo looked at the water around him.
As soon as he stopped, Leo immediately noticed that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that only the water ball released by the god of waterfalls in this kingdom of gods is constantly emitting water outwards, no matter how big this kingdom is, it is only a closed area, and the flow trend of the water should spread to all sides.
But now the water is swirling towards a point in the middle.
Leo was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"
"It should be that the overall structure of the kingdom of God is beginning to collapse, and the center point of this vortex should be the core of the collapse. Isenas said calmly.
"In addition, although there is no reference, I have to regret to tell you a guess, we have a relatively small probability that we have not moved a single step in the same place, and there is a high probability that we are now being pulled towards this collapsed site. β
That is to say, although they have built a path forward, they have not moved forward on this path.
"What happens if we get close to the collapse point, like a house collapsing?" asked Ente curiously, this time.
"Space shatters... What do you say?" said Isennas glanced at Ente.
Is it certain that you will die?
With Ente's current strength, there is still a long way to go before he shatters the space, let alone get involved in such an event that is far beyond his power level.
Under the seemingly calm sea, dragged by it and drowned in a whirlpool, there is nothing more desperate than this.
Although the thunder magic of the god of the waterfall is fierce and violent, it is far less likely to make people lose their fighting spirit than the vast and boundless sea.
Leo kicked in the water in anger.
"No matter how much you try to attack this water, it won't help. Isenus rubbed his head and analyzed.
"There are two dangers we face now, first, if we allow this vortex to take us away, we may well fall into the danger of space collapse. Second, the water is not as good as the land, even if we just float on the water, it takes a lot of physical strength, how long can we last? Especially you, Leo, you are still carrying Nana on your back, if you don't want to run out of energy and sink to the bottom of the sea with her, you should do a little less meaningless action. Or do you want to abandon Nana?"
Leo fell silent, feeling Nana's body temperature gradually decreasing behind him, forcing himself to calm down.
"Now add Nana, the temperature in the water is too low for her, and she will probably freeze to death here before she loses her strength. Leo stared at Esenas closely. "Since you think of these disadvantages, then you must be able to think of a way to crack it, right?"
"Nope. Esenus shook her head.
"No, what does it mean!" Leo's suppressed anger and agitation returned. "Do you want me to watch Nana die in front of my eyes?"
"I don't know why you're always so uncalm when it comes to Nana-related problems, but you should understand that anxiety is useless in the face of difficulties. Esenas replied calmly to Leo.
Ente leaned over, patted Leo on the shoulder, and said in relief: "We'll be fine, since Isenus has spoken, we just need to trust him." Come, give me Nana first, my Holy Light Qi has a certain buff and healing effect on ordinary people. β
Leo gritted his teeth, handed Nana behind him to Ente, touched Nana's forehead and cold limbs, and said to Isenas, "It's me who is too impatient... So, I'll leave the rest of the team command to you. β
Esenus nodded, and began to analyze.
"The first thing to be clear is that the abilities of the four of us are not helpful in the current situation, so the breaking point is not on us. β
"Remember the disappearance of that tall and thin mage? He seems to have another way to leave this space without having to go through the portal to turn back, although Lao Mo's actual combat ability is not good, but the strange ability is still quite good, if we still have hope, the vitality is in him. β
"In the absence of a certain direction of progress, swimming around is a disturbance to the known situation, so my advice is not to take the initiative and go against the current to find Lao Mo. β
"If you can't break the force, then it's better to use the strength to push the boat down the river. β
"Since these currents are the flow mode of the whirlpool, as long as we let the current carry us forward, we will definitely be able to meet Lao Mo near the center of the whirlpool. β
"But you just said that there is danger in the middle of the vortex, since it's a vortex, the closer it is to the center, the more suction it has, right?" Leo grabbed what Isenus had just said.
"That's rightβ" Isenas silently covered the water with his hand. "So this is a gamble handed over to fate, if we can happen to run into Lao Mo and them before being pulled by the vortex to the point where we can't break free, then we can still be saved, if not, then we can only swim forward as best we can, and pray that we can happen to run into the space portal without guidance and interference. β
"To make matters worse, the fog was so thick that it greatly limited our vision, so we had a lot less chance of bumping into it. β
"And we also have to pray that Lao Mo and I thought together. β
Esenas sighed, silently sighing.
Sure enough, adventuring in the unknown world, isn't the most important thing about personal strength, or is knowledge and special abilities more important, or luck?
After determining this plan that seems to be eating and waiting for death, but in fact it is risking to survive, everyone also chose a more relaxed way to stay on the water in order to save physical strength.
The fog was so thick that it was hard to see the silvery light of the sky, and everyone's hearts were becoming more and more bottomless.
Ente couldn't resist proposing to veto the plan, as a warrior like him, accustomed to relying on his own strength, had no sense of security in such an ethereal gamble.
Esenas shook his head, manipulated the Sanctuary Ability to lift up a piece of water, motioned for Ente to place Nana on it, and said, "Listen carefully. β
Ente listened attentively and said hesitantly, "There seems to be the sound of flowing water?"
Even Ent's own words were a little strange when he said this, weren't they in a boundless water?
But suddenly he reacted.
"We're near the center of the vortex?"
Isenus nodded and said, "That's right, so it's not cost-effective to give up this plan at this time." β
The sound of the water became clearer, and the surrounding fog gradually changed, and I could already see the gray light in the sky through the fog.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
This means that the probability of encountering Omoni is greatly increased, but it also gives them a glimpse of the dangers they will encounter in the future.
A huge whirlpool stretched tens of meters unfolded in front of them, and they were as small as a grain of bread crumbs on the table compared to this whirlpool. The water flowed towards the huge hole in the middle of the vortex, but no matter how much water flowed down, the pitch-black void did not change in the slightest, and wisps of primordial divine power in the air were also attracted by this vortex and pulled into this pitch-black hole.
Leo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he could completely imagine what it would be like to be "eaten" by this black hole, and there was absolutely no chance that he could escape.
As everyone nervously watched as they got closer and closer to the vortex of choosing people to devour, and kept looking around, Nana suddenly raised her head.
Isenus was the first to notice and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"
Nana hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to hear someone singing. β
Is there a Kraken here?
"Is it a male or female voice?" asked Isenas again in a hurry.
"It's a female voice, and her voice sounds so light and melodious..."
At this time, everyone also heard this song.
"That summer in the hills, the hazy scene of water vapor was faintly visible. β
"We never stop moving forward, measuring the world with our feet. β
"It's 'monody' sung by Laura!" Leo looked happy. "It doesn't seem to be a kraken, isn't it Lao Mo!"
Esenas reacted much more directly, putting his hand to his lips and making a few loud whistles in an attempt to get Omoni's attention.
Leo and Ente reacted and roared after Isenas.
"Here! Lao Mo! We're here!"
In a short time, the group saw a simple boat with a faint blue light heading towards them.
Omoni was smiling and smiling on the boat, with little Paul at the stern controlling the direction of the ship.
"Great, you think the same way I do. One by one, Omoni pulled everyone onto the boat. "I'm still worried about how I'm going to get out if I can't find you. β
Isenas was stunned, and then reacted, because he saw that the mage easily left this space, so he preconceived that Omoni could also leave here at will, but he didn't expect that although Omoni was not worried about dying in the water, there was no way to get out.
In this way, both sides need each other, and the probability of making the same choice is much greater.
It's not too much luck that they've met.
Everyone curiously touched and looked at this simple boat, although the ship was small, but it had a compass, a steering rudder, and a sail. Leo tapped on the translucent hull and asked, "Where did you get this boat?"
"I didn't bring it with me. Omoni explained. "I used a little spell to immobilize the trees that were about to dissipate, using a quick drawing. β
"Quick drawings?" everyone gathered curiously.
"A kind of one-off drawing... It records the specific manufacturing steps of something, and as long as the corresponding materials are fed to this drawing, it can make a sample by itself. Easy to use is easy to use, but too expensive. β
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, and sure enough, every spellcaster was a treasure.
Instead of watching this beautiful translucent boat with everyone, Nana followed the song to find her source.
A small humanoid doll.
She had pale blonde hair, big green eyes, and sat on the side of the boat with a guitar in her arms.
Nana touched her tiny hand.
"Hey!"
The crowd was attracted by Nana's movements.
Omoni hurriedly walked over and apologized to the little girl: "I'm sorry Laura, this is my new companion, she has some problems with her eyesight, offended. β
Laura looked Nana up and down, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know." β
Seeing Nana and Laura exchanging, Leo walked past Omoni and whispered, "What is this?"
Omoni smirked and showed off: "This is my proud work, do you see the little house next to Laura? There are fifty-five singers living there, they are all singers I have simulated through the emotional resonance of the music, as long as you want to listen, they can always give you the original sound, and sometimes they will add some new understanding of the song." β
"It's an amazing thing. Leo looked at the strange magical creature in amazement.
"Alright, guys, let's discuss how to get out, at least not fall into this vortex. Omoni clapped his hands and gathered the crowd together.
Isenas was the first to reply: "I'll control the direction of the ship, I know how to get out, this ship is very well equipped, don't worry about getting lost." β
Little Paul obediently gave way of manipulating the direction.
Omoni looked much more relaxed.
"That's great, Miss Laura, can you please do another song?
"Of course. β
Suddenly, Laura's clear and ethereal, and allusive song of uplifting power sounded on the ship.
Once again, the ship sailed into the fog.
With Omoni there, it means that the food has also been found, and which of the other four people has not been hungry for a whole day?
In a relaxed and pleasant way, the fog around the boat thinned again, and the light that fell overhead was no longer silver-white thunder, but a real golden and brilliant sunshine with warmth, and vegetation appeared on both sides, and the boat seemed to sail into a river.
Leo looked around suspiciously.
"We, this is coming out?"
