Chapter 564: Under the Sea
The north of Jiuyuan City was originally a barren desert, where no grass grew and no one lived. But the Nine Abyss Ancient City, which appeared here out of thin air not long ago, has made this place the center of the conversation. Batches of treasure hunters have never come out, and people have gone from initial curiosity to panic.
Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the ancient city of Jiuyuan was once prosperous. Later, I don't know what happened, and the city was buried deep under the desert. Countless treasure hunters have searched the desert but have found nothing, until it has emerged on its own.
In the desert, the wind wrinkled and blew up the dust, and overhead, the sun hung high and scorched the sand. It is impossible for ordinary mortals to survive in this desert, but how can Ye Xiao and the Nine Abyss City Lord be ordinary people. They fed off the wind and sand and flew fast in the sandstorm. Because they all have treasure maps, the direction in which they are moving forward is very clear, and because Shen Jianbing has been here, Ye Xiao's trip has made Ye Xiao's trip a lot less troublesome.
Soon after, a huge city hidden in the wind and sand appeared in front of the two of them. At this moment, only some ruins are left in the magnificent city, and the beams and pillars surrounded by ten people tell the glory of the ancient city. The exquisite stone carvings have not been smoothed out by time for thousands of years, and rare stones can be seen everywhere. Broken high-rise buildings still stand in the wind and sand, like heroic warriors who die without falling. The abandoned city was lifeless, dead in the wind and sand.
"When you arrive, you will enter the great array before you go. I don't change when I go here, but when you do, you disappear right away, and that's happened many times. Shen Jianbing looked at the ancient city in front of him, his eyes were full of helplessness, there was nothing he could do about it, even his most beloved son was caught in it. "You can think clearly, with your talents, you have a bright future, but I don't know what will happen once you set foot in it. Shen Jianbing finally said.
"Thank you City Lord Shen, I ...... it" Ye Xiao hadn't finished speaking, only to feel a chill down his spine, and a killing intent came from nowhere. The silver light flashed, and a long silver scythe grazed his neck, and Ye Xiao could even feel the coldness of the sickle. When I looked closely, it was not a human being who was wielding a scythe, but a silver skeleton shrouded in gray robes. However, what surprised Ye Xiao even more was still behind, and there were more than a dozen silver skeletons coming out of the desert. At the center of them is a golden skeleton holding a golden scythe, which seems to be their leader. The skeleton's eye sockets were empty, but Ye Xiao felt that all the skeletons seemed to be locked onto him. "Run!"
Whether it was Miao Xiaohan's prophecy or the fear that the golden skeleton brought to Ye Xiao, he fled backwards without hesitation.
"I'll stop them!" The sluggish Shen Jianbing came to his senses and was ready to help Ye Xiao break off. However, those skeletons didn't pay attention to him at all, but chased directly towards Ye Xiao.
When Ye Xiao stepped on the Jiuyuan Ancient City with one foot, he felt that the sky was spinning. All the scenery around them was gone, and the skeletons couldn't seem to get in. He knew he should have entered the world in the formation.
In the outside world, when all the skeletons lost Ye Xiao's traces, they dived into the desert again, leaving Shen Jianbing at a loss. He was worried about whether he was a match for the skeletons, but the monsters ignored him the whole time.
"What are those monsters with scythes in their hands?" Ye Xiao felt palpitations, especially the oppression brought to him by the golden skeleton was unprecedented, but fortunately, they didn't seem to be able to activate the large array of this ancient city to teleport in.
Ye Xiao calmed down and found that he seemed to be on a huge ship at the moment, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him at the moment.
"New here?" someone asked curiously.
Ye Xiao nodded, "You are all people who entered the Nine Abyss Ancient City from the outside world?"
"That's right, you shouldn't have come. So many people are trapped here, why do you want to come in!" said a handsome young man, who had a noble temperament in him, like the stars holding the moon among the crowd.
"Young City Lord, calm down. He came in, indicating that the lord of the city had not given up on us. The only thing we can do is keep going!" said a bald man beside the man, holding a compass-like artifact in his hand. This person was none other than Yun Zhongbai, the first formation master of Nine Abyss City.
"What the hell is here?" Ye Xiao said as he stood by the boat and looked at the endless sea.
"This is the Infinite Sea, and there is nothing in this world but this ship and this sea. Some people left the ship and flew for more than a month, but they did not fly out of the ocean. Yun Zhongbai explained.
At this moment, the giant ship suddenly shook, and a trace of panic flashed on everyone's faces. "It's coming again, everyone hurry up and get into the cabin!"
Everyone quickly hid in the cabin, the cabin was large enough to accommodate everyone, Ye Xiao naturally followed them and hid in. Suddenly, the big ship shook violently, Ye Xiao only felt that the sky was spinning, and a huge whirlpool seemed to have formed under the boat to swallow the whole ship.
"It's not good, I'm afraid this ship is going to be swallowed up by the whirlpool, why are you still hiding here?" Ye Xiao looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
"Don't go out, this ship won't be swallowed. And only this ship will not be swallowed, and once you leave this ship, you will definitely die if you encounter a whirlpool again. A few unbelievers have tried, and they have been swallowed up by the sea and never returned. Even when in the air, the attraction of terror can still pull people into the whirlpool. The ship is the only safe place. Yun Zhongbai explained.
Ye Xiao nodded, only then did he understand the danger of this place. "Have you ever seen a woman in yellow?
"The woman in yellow? do you mean that woman with an extraordinary temperament and domineering manners? Although she is extremely strong, she does not listen to advice at all, and the other day she left the ship and was swallowed by the whirlpool, but we have seen her swallowed by the whirlpool. I haven't come back yet. Yun Zhongbai said helplessly.
"What, she was swallowed up by the whirlpool?" Ye Xiao was slightly stunned, with Jiang Lou Mingyue's wit, she would not do such a stupid thing.
Soon after, the shaking subsided, and the sea returned to its usual calm. Some of them re-emerged from the cabin, only to be shocked to find several people lying on the deck. It was the same people who had been swallowed by the vortex before, two of whom had lost their lives. However, among these people, there is no Jianglou Mingyue.
"Wake up, wake up!" everyone woke up a few people with pills.
"Blame... Monster!" The eyes of several people were full of fear, and then they came to their senses. "I... I'm back?"
"That's right, you're back suddenly, tell us quickly, what's under the sea?" the crowd immediately asked, their eyes full of urgency. Opportunity always comes with crisis, and they once wondered if there was any treasure under the sea, but no one dared to take the initiative to go down.
"There's nothing down there, just a huge fish. The strength of that fish was unfathomable, and the souls of the two of them were eaten by that fish. One of them was still trembling as he recalled the horrors of the past.
"Then how did you come back, and why didn't the big fish eat you?" someone asked again.
"I... We didn't know it, we fainted and woke up right here. The man explained.
"Have you ever seen a woman in yellow at the bottom of the sea?" This question was naturally asked by Ye Xiao.
"The woman in yellow... See... I saw it, hey, why didn't she come up? Could it be that she was eaten by the big fish?!" The man looked around and wondered.
"These two people are no longer alive, and they can't die anymore, and it seems that it is indeed dangerous under the sea. I don't know what horrors exist besides the big fish. Yun Zhongbai said after looking at the two corpses.
Ye Xiao's expression moved slightly, and he finally made up his mind. "Jianglou Mingyue, this woman is very smart, she will not take risks easily. If you want to know the truth, you have to go down and see. ”
After a long wait, the ship began to jolt again. This time, Ye Xiao did not choose to enter the cabin, but plunged into the sea and let the whirlpool bring him to the bottom of the sea.
"Well, that kid still hasn't listened to persuasion, so I don't know if he has such a good life as these people. Yun Zhongbai sighed slightly.
"You didn't listen to him, he has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the woman in yellow, I'm afraid he wants to go down and find it himself. I don't know what the relationship between these two is, it's really touching. There was a hint of respect written on Shen Xin's face, and most people would choose to back down in the face of the fear of the unknown. However, the mediocre-looking man took the initiative to face the difficulties, but the woman in yellow looked like a heavenly beauty, and I am afraid that this man is not worthy of it. Maybe that's why he needs to work harder. "Hey, although the beauty is good, it is not worth it if you lose your life because of it. ”
The terrifying whirlpool has an extremely strong attraction, but Ye Xiao's cultivation at the moment is not afraid of the tearing of the sea at all. I don't know how long I walked wrapped in the seawater, Ye Xiao only felt that his feet had stepped on the earth again. Just as he wanted to move his feet, he found that his heels were on the ground, and it was difficult to move an inch.
"Another one came down who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. A familiar voice suddenly reached Ye Xiao's ears.
"Mingyue?" Ye Xiao asked aloud, and then took out a night pearl to illuminate the area. They are covered by spiritual power and are not affected by the sea in the slightest.
"Hmm, Ye Xiao, why are you here?" Jiang Lou Mingyue had seen Ye Xiao's disguise, and was also familiar with Ye Xiao's voice, so she naturally recognized it immediately.
"I also came here by accident. Ye Xiao explained.
"Hehe, you're here to save me. Jiang Lou Mingyue hid in the darkness and couldn't see any expression.
"Forehead......" Before Ye Xiao could speak, Jianglou Mingyue suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xiao. The veil covered the beautiful face, but those starry eyes Ye Xiao never forgot.
"How can you move?" Ye Xiao said in surprise, he felt that his heels were on the ground, and he couldn't move at all.
"It's better not to move, Ye Xiao, I have a grudge, and I just took advantage of this opportunity to get some interest back. Jiang Lou Mingyue's tone was full of pleasure.
"You... You're still struggling with that, I was just a kid at the time, why should you have trouble with a child. Ye Xiao said speechlessly.
"Phew, you bastard really remembers everything, and pretends to forget everything. ”
Ye Xiao suddenly found that he seemed to have said something wrong.
