Whoop -

In the quiet underground space, a bright white light suddenly pierced the dark and low air, and there was also the sound of water crashing.

Near the center of the island's underground.

Ronald and Helbeth leave the underground waterways one after the other, standing in some underground space deep on the island. From encountering the hunters to finding a way to enter here, the two of them had a smooth sailing journey.

Not to mention dangerous creatures like the Hunters.

Not even the slightest hint of hostility has ever been encountered.

Standing in a dark underground cavern at this time, Ronald still has half of his lower leg buried in the water, but his upper body is finally free from the smell of the sea.

Illuminated by the flashlight held by the mermaid next to him.

Ronald's gaze raced around quickly.

- There's something strange about it.

Standing here, he could breathe unimpeded, and he could vaguely perceive the flow of air in the space, and the underground space where he was currently located should have a direct passage with the outside world.

However, the depth here is ......

But below the island, it is well below sea level.

Under normal circumstances, the sea should definitely spread up and flood this well-ventilated underground space, rather than just a pool of stagnant water without any movement.

Ronald is now pretty sure there are no noticeable mana fluctuations around.

What the hell is going on?

“……”

Miss Mermaid on the side noticed Ronald's slightly furrowed eyebrows.

Also looking around, she realized the other party's concern and immediately spoke:

"Wuling people, rest assured."

"The water is in a very stable state and we don't face any danger from the currents."

“……”

Looking at Hybes, who was speaking firmly, Ronald opened his mouth.

He was a little curious about how this Miss Mermaid had learned this kind of information, and as a life that lived in the ocean, it was naturally understandable to have such an ability. It's just that after thinking about the purpose of his infiltration of this island, he still changed the question.

"We're going to be able to find the source of all this problem through the passage here, right?"

Hybes replied very dryly:

"Wuling people, I actually don't want to stay in your world anymore, our purpose is the same in this regard."

“……”

Faced with the mermaid's blunt answer, Ronald shrugged his shoulders.

He couldn't tell if the other party had lied and deceived him, and it was only in his best interest that the two of them came here together.

Actually, compared to the real purpose of Helbes.

Ronald was more interested in the guy's words 'your world'. What kind of original texts in the ruins of the island led to such a result?

Summons sea creatures from another world......

Not to mention whether the enemies on the island have succeeded in mastering this original text, even if this is a phenomenon caused by the original text after the power has gone berserk, it is definitely a surprising enough thing.

They maintain a fragile relationship with each other.

Ronald and Hylbes continue to follow the underground passage deeper into the tunnel, and the surrounding environment begins to change, and the inner walls of the two layers of the passage are covered with a thick, shiny layer of material that reflects light very well.

Helbeth's flashlight shines on it, and the reflection actually brightens the passage. Especially if you continue to move a little further, irregularly distributed stalactites begin to appear, which directly makes it more difficult to continue moving forward instantly.

As a human being, Ronald can still pass through this place hand and foot.

And Helbes, who 'swam' on the ground with a fish's tail, instantly realized the malice of the terrestrial environment towards marine life.

Seeing that his temporary companions were facing such a terrible problem, and had even begun to hinder their progress, Ronald finally began to refrain from proposing:

"Hylbess, why don't you let me carry you away? My physical strength is still quite good, and there will be no trouble with one more person. ”

“……”

Hybeth's face instantly became very ugly.

She understands that Ronald's advice is friendly, but the reserved nature of the High Civilization makes her feel ashamed, as if she had gone on an expedition to some ocean, and then accidentally injured herself, and had to be carried out of danger by a stupid fish before she could be rescued.

But the facts are right in front of you.

Without Ronald's help, she could only continue to struggle on the ground crookedly. Not to mention the ugliness of exposure, it will also affect the speed at which the two continue to move forward and delay the trip.

"You...... Please, Wuling. ”

“……”

Ronald naturally saw the tangle on Miss Mermaid's face.

He didn't say anything, he walked up to the other party and bent down naturally.

"Come on, just don't tie my neck."

"Hmmm......"

After hearing the answer, two more breaths passed before Ronald felt a cold body leaning on his back, and almost subconsciously reached out to drag Helbeth's body, but his hands were directly touching a tail full of fish scales.

Almost at the same time, Helbes behind Ronald exclaimed in a low voice:

"Don't worry about my tail, I'll hang it up!"

"Got it......"

In this way, the two become Ronald with Helbeth on his back and the mermaid coiling her tail around him.

Although the styling may be a little unsightly.

But with Ronald's strong physical fitness, their forward speed is really faster, and without worrying about the problems when they are moving forward, Helbes can concentrate on providing the most suitable lighting with a flashlight.

The two of them continued to move on, and the passage under the island continued to change.

The walls of the passage where they were advancing began to appear in places dense, small, round holes, like tiny concave bulbs reflected by the light, and finally even opaque quartz crystals could occasionally be seen, mixed with pure glass beads.

These random points of light, like crystal lamps, appeared in the passage one after another, shining along the road, illuminating the way forward for them.

Walking in this environment, there is also a beautiful mermaid on your back.

While Ronald's mood gradually became tense, he couldn't help but have the illusion that he was in a fairy tale world. A secret beauty hidden underground, not everyone has the opportunity to see.

After changing directions several times and advancing a long distance underground, Helbeth, behind Ronald, stretched out his hand to the side of the two's forward route, and opened his mouth to remind the man under him:

"Wuling people, look over there."

Ronald turned his head and immediately understood the purpose of Helbeth's reminder.

It was a hundred meters away from the two of them.

A side-upward ramp entrance is there, like a door quietly waiting to be pushed open!
