Below the seabed, at a depth of 4,000 meters, this is a world without light.

There are no phosphorus algae living in this area, and the loss of the only light source on the seabed has plunged the entire sea into boundless darkness. You can't see anything in front of you, you can't hear in your ears, you can't smell in your nose, you only touch the cold sea water on your skin, and you can only taste the saltiness of the sea water in your mouth. Lost all the ability to perceive the outside world, couldn't see the way, couldn't find the direction, after leaving the sea tribe, the power of the deep sea world was finally manifested, and the pain that had not been experienced before finally came, and the boundless fear and depression turned into a never-ending tide, beating the hearts of the girls wave after wave.

The girls subconsciously retreated towards the way they came, and when they left the last phosphophyllum light range a few minutes ago, they didn't feel anything until they really walked into the darkness, only to find that this depression was more terrible than they imagined, and it was not something that could be easily overcome with a firm will.

"Ahem, ahem. Pannis controlled his vocal cords and used the hedron to let out two dry coughs. Obviously the most ordinary two light coughs, in the ears of the girls sounded like the most beautiful sound, not only broke the silence, but also let the girls who were deprived of all kinds of perceptions for the first time wake up from the panic, remembering that they can also use hearing and language to relieve the psychological burden. Pannis coughed dryly twice and whispered, "Catherine, I think you seem to have forgotten that the lamp is behind you." ”

Catherine's face turned red unknowingly, and she embarrassedly turned on the half-human-high lamp she was carrying behind her. None of the lighting methods used on the ground, whether it is a simple headlamp used in the Weeping Cave, a crystalline lamp used in everyday life, or even a goblin illuminator used in the Glittering Forest, cannot be used on the ocean floor. The sea water is like a natural barrier, which is illuminated by the lights designed for use on land, and I am afraid that the light will not be able to penetrate two or three meters and will scatter and can no longer provide illumination for human vision, even if the illumination of the goblin illuminator is turned on to the strongest, it is only to extend the distance of two or three meters to seven or eight meters. Therefore, if you want to illuminate the seabed, you need to use a large special crystal lamp provided by the sea tribe. Although the light of this crystal lamp can extend up to fifty meters away, its volume and weight are also very considerable, when the girls remain in a floating state in the water, because of the buoyancy of the seawater, the use of the submarine crystal lamp will not have any effect, but once converted to walking mode, the weight of three hundred kilograms can not be borne by anyone except Catherine, even if it is Catherine, carrying such a heavy lamp, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it is difficult to make a correct response in time when encountering the enemy.

"Let's stop for a moment. Catherine gestured to rest in place, and the five of them sat down in a circle. Lina pulled out an underwater drinker from her backpack that she had prepared on land for underwater adventures and distributed it to everyone. Catherine sucked the drinking water in the sealed bag with a drinking fountain in her mouth, and said: "Think of a way, it's too dangerous now, even if I turn on the crystal lamp, but it can only shine in front, and the rest of you can't shine it, everyone is a little farther away from each other, and you don't even know where the person is, so not only is it easy to get separated, but once you encounter danger, you don't even have a chance to rescue." I didn't expect to encounter these troubles underwater, alas, in the end, I was still unprepared. ”

"Actually, there are still ways, whew, forget it, let's use it. Pannis said to Freya, "Before we were separated from Lana, you still have the parts I asked you to remove from the other lamp." ”

"To carry is to carry. Freya took out a metal cube close to one meter and held it in her hand and looked at it over and over: "But I really don't see what this thing is for, and what you said is so serious that I don't even dare to dismantle it." ”

"You dismantle it, don't use too much force. Pannis said, "There's something in there that can be used." ”

Freya nodded, took out a few tools, thick fingers manipulated the tools, beating flexibly on the metal cube, one bolt after another was removed, layers of waterproof colloid were cut, and soon the cube was broken into a pile of parts, and a soft light lit up from Freya's hand.

"Hmm, Tears of Light?" Freya, as the daughter of the city lord, had also seen many valuable treasures, but she still couldn't hide her surprise when she saw the things in her hand: "It could be this kind of thing? I should have thought that the effect of this lighting device would definitely use the tears of light." ”

"Is it the tears of light?" Catherine raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and she said in a deep voice: "Is it the kind of pearl that has been hyped up by the rich to sixty or seventy thousand gold coins and often can't buy it?"

"It's true, but it won't be that expensive, sixty or seventy thousand gold coins is the best tears of light. Freya pinched a pearl the size of a thumb nail in front of her fingers, which was milky white, but emitted a soft but bright light from within. The light emitted by the Tears of Light is very unique, and a small one can clearly illuminate the surrounding waters within four or five meters. Freya pinched the tears of light and looked at it for a while, shook her head and said, "The quality of these is not very good, if they are sold on the shore, one will not exceed 10,000 gold coins at most." ”

"Even if this is the case, this box of ten tears of light is worth at least 100,000 gold coins, plus this crystal energy lamp behind me, 200,000 gold coins. Catherine reached out and took one, carefully placed it in the palm of her hand and cared for it: "With these pearls, we won't lose this mission, haha, is this a sign of good luck?"

"Calm down, big sister. Lina covered her head and said helplessly: "This was borrowed from us, so I didn't say I wanted to give it to us." ”

Catherine's face slowly turned heavy with a movement of her hands, and Pannis even suspected that if it weren't for the underwater, her tears would have flowed down. Catherine gently stroked the light in her hand, reluctantly holding the hand of a deceased loved one in front of the sickbed, and stroked it for a long time before putting the Tear of Light back on Freya's hand, twisting her head to force herself not to look at it, and asked Pannis, "Are you going to use this to fill the lighting gap around us?"

"Yes, that's right. Pannis took out five small headdresses, four of which were hairpin shaped ones that seemed to be tailor-made for the four maidens. He took a pearl and set it in the hole reserved for the tiara, and asked Freya for the waterproof glue to fix it, and then handed it to Catherine and said, "I made the headdress when I was in the Temple of the Storm, but I really don't want to use it this way. ”

"Why?" Catherine put the tiara on top of her head, and the area around her was immediately illuminated by a few meters of clarity, even more clearly than the effect of phosphorus. Catherine shook her head from side to side a few times, making sure there was no discomfort, and continued to ask, "Is there any bad effect of the tears of light?"

"The glow of the Tears of Light is special. Pannis's hand did not stop, and he replied while continuing to inlay the pearls: "Not only simple light, but also mixed with other energy, this energy has a lot of temptation for the demonic beasts of the deep sea. If you use a complete undersea lighting equipment, due to the filtering and amplification of the crystal energy array, the light emitted will no longer have this inducing effect, but if you use the tears of light directly, it will sometimes attract some undersea demonic beasts that can't resist the temptation, which will cause a lot of trouble. However, your previous concerns were also very correct, and it seems that the current situation has to be used. ”

"Underwater Monsters?" Catherine frowned, only then did she understand the reason for Pannis's reluctance before, and asked with some concern, "How strong will it be?"

"How to put it, the demonic beasts that can survive in the deep sea are generally not too weak. Pannis thought for a moment and replied, "Most of the strength of the demonic beasts at the bottom of the sea is related to their size, and the bigger the demonic beasts, the stronger the strength. But fortunately, generally demigod-level demonic beasts will not be tempted by the tears of light, nor will they leave their territory at will, so we will encounter legendary level sea beasts at most, as long as the number is not too much, there should be no problem to deal with it, but the speed of progress may be delayed. ”

"Well, it's worth the price of slowing down. Catherine weighed the pros and cons and said, "It's better to be delayed than to be attacked or separated because of the darkness." ”

"I agree. Pannis nodded, "That's why I proposed to use the Tears of Light." ”

"But you mentioned the demigod beasts?" Catherine asked, "Is it possible that we accidentally stepped into their territory?"

"Don't worry, it's not very likely. Pannis shook his head and said, "Don't forget that this is the Devil's Sea, and the controlled sea tribes will often patrol the sea. Although the sea beasts instinctively avoid the sea tribe, there is also a bottom line, if the sea tribe often walks around in the territory of the half-body monsters, the demigod monsters will definitely attack them, and the result of the attack is that the controlled sea tribes in the sea area have suffered heavy casualties. Neither Doris nor Badia mentioned this situation, indicating that there was no war between the Controlled Sea Clan and the Demigod Beasts here, which meant that there was no territory for them in the vicinity. ”

"That's good. Catherine showed a reassuring smile: "If the enemy is just a demonic beast below the legendary level, now that everyone has advanced, they will no longer be afraid of them." However, there are some questions that it is better to think about in advance, what if you really encounter an enemy that you can't fight, and what if you are separated?"

"If you encounter an enemy that you can't fight, I will try my best to delay, and you can get rid of it by floating as fast as you can, about seven or eight hundred meters. Pannis explained: "Monsters can't ignore water pressure like the Sea Clan, and the Monsters that live on the bottom of the sea will be fatally injured after floating seven or eight hundred meters up, so as long as they float up, it's safe." ”

"And what about being separated?" asked Lina.

"It's still the same, the same as in the weeping cave. Sink to the bottom of the sea first, then find a safe place near the lost area and wait, keep the water flowing around you, I'll find you, don't run around. Pannis put the last tiara on his head, shook his head, and said, "Let's go, I hope you don't run into the patrolling sea tribes." (To be continued.) )
