Chapter 55: Diving into the Sea
"Wow! Grunt... Ahem... Help..."Xinqiu was lifted out of the water by the tall black wind, and then her loose mask was ripped off.
"I said you, forget it if you don't wear the mask properly," Hua Ye looked at the depth of the water, which was barely waist-deep, and said angrily, "You just stand up a little straight and won't be choked to death." โ
The salty sea water mixed Xinqiu's irritating tears with snot and saliva, and it looked very embarrassing.
Hua Ye shook his head, helped him carefully wipe his face and put on his mask, and after checking it, he said, "You lead the way, follow the ring." โ
Xinqiu finally recovered from it, smiled, glanced at the direction of the ring, and plunged into the water again.
The gill mask, as the name suggests, allows the wearer to breathe underwater like a fish, it is composed of a curved hard crystal and two sets of magic filters on the left and right, only one device is turned on during normal use, and the other is an emergency backup, the built-in water magic energy stone can meet at least two days of continuous operation, and can also power the lights overhead, if there is a water magician to charge it, it can run indefinitely until the end of the device's life.
However, water mages often use water spells, as long as they don't go too deep, they can go in and out of the water freely.
Oops, this is a basic diving mask, without a communication device! Hua Ye was greedy for cheap at the time, and when he saw this kind of mask, he didn't think much about buying three get one free, and now the drawbacks have appeared, the built-in breathing valve of this mask covers all the mouth and nose, and he can't speak at all!
Even if you are talking underwater, you can't hear it!
At this time, it was still in the shallow water, and the sun was shining, Hua Ye hurriedly hula hula, got a few people up, and shouted: "Which of you can communicate underwater, sign language?" โ
"No, it won't."
"Me too."
"I, I'll be a little."
"Wow, it's worthy of being from the academy, you know everything!" Hua Ye clapped his hands excitedly, "Come and teach us." โ
After quickly learning a few simple gestures of "safety", "follow me", "dive" and "float", Wood said something that drove them crazy: "I, I can summon the sea, and the seaweed will melt into words in this water." โ
Hopefully, this magical underwater adventure won't take long.
Several of them were diving for the first time, and the wounds of the black wind had already healed, and he was just too lazy to remove those bandages, and after soaking in the seawater, they became loose and loose, peeling off from his body and drifting into the distance.
At this time, the leader Xinqiu swam towards the diagonal front, because of the bay, there are few fish and algae, only the perennial waves wash the stones underneath, and it looks extraordinarily bright and smooth in the sun.
As the depth of the dive increased, the light emitted by the ring gradually overshadowed the sunlight that was difficult to penetrate the deep sea, Xinqiu suddenly made a "stop" gesture, and then asked Wood to come over and touch the ring, and then Wood nodded, and used magic to gather the water bath and put together a line of words that glowed with a faint green light:
The ring is vibrating.
After Hua Ye and Hei Feng expressed their understanding, Wood asked them to pay attention to the safety of their surroundings, and then motioned for Xinqiu to continue swimming.
I don't know how much I had dived along the sloping shore, the sunlight was almost completely gone, and in addition to the ring's seemingly ever-increasing glow, Wood suggested that the mask's searchlight be turned on as well.
As the light shone on, the four of them found that the surroundings were empty, with only gray sand and scattered gravel drifting seaweed under their feet, and a cold feeling instantly hit the three of them from all directions.
Why three? Because Xinqiu has no heart and no lungs!
Strangely, Xinqiu didn't go any further, because she found that the ring was no longer "pulling" forward and down, but hanging normally around her neck.
Xinqiu was just about to pick up the slightly dazzling ring to see what was going on, Hua Ye rushed to the side with Xinqiu in her arms, and there was a dull sound from the position where she was standing, as if she had been hit by something, and the sand and dirt flew up, blocking the view.
Black Wind's original weapon had already been lost in Aemia City somewhere, and at this time, he took out the small short knife on his waist and put on a defensive posture to stare at the dust not far in front of him, his eyes scanning the suspicious places around him.
Wood had just been three or four meters away from Xinqiu, and vaguely saw a black and long thing passing in front of him, with its size, it should not appear in this shallow sea area, Wood leaned over to Hua Ye anxiously.
Small searchlights over the heads of several people struck the sinking mass of sediment, but when the sediment cleared, there was nothing in the area.
At this time, Wood reacted that there were only a few large-sized sea creatures that appeared in the shallow waters, combined with the shape he had just seenโ
Wood nervously pointed to the sand, then made a dangerous gesture to draw attention to the soles of his feet.
Sure enough, the sharp-eyed Hua Ye saw that the sand that should have been flat suddenly appeared a small bulge and quickly attacked in the direction of Xinqiu.
Damn, you can't use a gun in the water, and there is no way Hua Ye can only pull Xinqiu to swim to the side.
Wood also adjusted his breathing at this time, and was ready to cast a magic spell to block the creature, which would be better if he could kill it, but he didn't have that confidence.
Fortunately, the speed of this mysterious bulge was not fast enough, and Xin Qiuhuaye was able to keep a safe distance even if he paddled desperately to the side.
The mystical bulge moved for a while and then suddenly disappeared, Hua Ye and Xinqiu nervously scanned the sand around them, not knowing where it would reappear from.
Behind!
Wood has been staring at the blind spot of Xinqiu and Hua Ye's field of vision, according to the record in "Gaia Water Story - Danger", this creature is very sensitive to light sources, shows a strong desire to attack, and likes to attack from the corner that blocks the light source.
That's right, it's it! But then came the trouble.
Sure enough, a black shadow the thickness of a human leg shot out from the mud and sand on Hua Ye Xinqiu's back, and Wood's seagrass barrier instantly condensed.
Unlike the brittle but hard vines, the seagrass barrier was soft and elastic, and the dark shadow muffled into a bunch of bubbles on the piles of seaweed, but the seaweed was intact, and the two of them took the opportunity to quickly dodge the monster.
What kind of demon and monster is this uncle! Hua Ye glanced at the flattened spiral insect that I didn't know how to describe from the side by the illumination of the light.
The big bug missed the first blow and dived under the sand again, preparing for a second blow.
Wood immediately used seaweed to condense a line of large characters in front of several people's eyes: Leaf Twister, Phototaxis, Social Creature, Danger! Turn off the lights!
Seeing that Wood turned off the searchlight without hesitation, the remaining three people also immediately turned it off, but what if the ring was still glowing!
At this moment, a thick black shady object came out of the mud and sand, and the glowing ring was tightly wrapped, and not a single light was revealed.
In the deep sea, where they couldn't see their fingers, several people leaned over each other on their last impressions, but Wood had just said that this thing was a social animalโ
That means there are more bugs around!
Why did you go into the sea with a ring!
In the darkness, Hua Ye was holding Xinqiu with one hand, and groping around with the other, the bubbles around him were gurgling more and more frequent, and it was likely that the insects were about to move underneath.
Suddenly, a few bright blue light sources swam down from above, and no matter what it was, they barely got together by this light, and Wood immediately wrapped the four of them in a hemisphere with seaweed and kelp.
At the same time, there was a muffled sound of water outside, as if the leaf twister was attacking the light source it had just attacked.
Wood cast too many spells and was at the bottom of the sea, and now he was breathing very quickly, Black Wind reached out and patted him on the back to help him relieve it, eh, why did you hit his head?
Hua Ye took Hei Feng's hand off his head and put it on Wood, and began to wonder if he would withdraw to the shore.
At this time, Wood used seaweed to condense the rows of words:
I felt the ring tugging down to the bottom of the ocean, and the target could be beneath the mud and sand. Now there are two choices, one is to retreat, and the other is to continue digging in the sand and going down.
Under the faint green light of these lines, the ghostly light reflected by the mask was very scary.
After the eight eyes couldn't see anyone's eyes, Hua Ye took a deep breath and made a decision-
yes, no, it's two.
