"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Zhao Yan looked at him and didn't immediately pick up the talisman seal he handed over, "In case you encounter danger in the sea, maybe I can help." ”

Being on the wanted warrant of the Great Qi Imperial Court means that he is in danger all the time, and the day is not safe.

But when Gu Xu personally said the words "dead in the sea", Zhao Yan still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

On the shore of the northern underworld, the sky is dark, and the earth is also dark.

Being in this place is like being locked in a cage of a black hole, unable to see the light in your eyes, gloomy and depressing.

Maybe it's because she used the method of "cutting seven feelings", or maybe it's because she has someone around her, when she first came here, Zhao Yan didn't have any fear in her heart.

Instead, he looked at the scenery around him curiously, as if he was on an ordinary outing.

However, when she imagined Gu Xu jumping into this bottomless sea and never returning, leaving her alone waiting on the edge of the cliff, this pitch-black sky suddenly became heavy and suffocating, as if it could collapse at any time, pressing on her and crushing her to pieces.

Noticing the change in Zhao Yan's face, Gu Xu smiled: "Don't worry too much about me, Miss Zhao." Have you forgotten the results of your previous divination? As long as I am careful, I will come back alive. Besides, I still have a 'stand-in bracelet' on me! ”

Zhao Yan was silent.

The "stand-in bracelet" can block a deadly attack and remove all the negative effects on a person, but it can't get people out of danger quickly. If you encounter a strong enemy, using the "Stand-in Bracelet" is likely to turn into waiting for death.

Gu Xu paused for a moment and said, "You should know that I am a person who is very afraid of death. I want you to stay on the shore, not because I don't need your help, but because the real danger is not at the bottom of the sea, but in the sky.

"Do you know what that is?"

He gestured to the pitch-black sky above him.

"What?"

"That's the Kunpeng's wings."

"Kunpeng's Wings ......"

Zhao Yan muttered and repeated what he said as she looked up in the direction he was pointing.

She had never felt so much of her own insignificance as she did today.

If this Kunpeng wanted to shoot the two of them to death, it should be as easy as her stepping on two ants on the road, right?

"Alright then, I'll wait for you here."

She whispered as she plucked an intricately shaped metal pendant from her neck—a talisman made for her by her father, Zhao Changying.

She carried it with her for many years. When I took it off at the moment, there was still the temperature in her chest on it.

Then she tiptoed slightly and hung the talisman around Gu Xu's neck.

"It brings you good luck."

…………

Gu Xu looked at the sea under the cliff, listened to the surging waves, and took a deep breath.

Then he leaped into the air.

A strong sense of weightlessness hit him instantly, and the air currents whirled in his ears.

But soon, the "wind charm" he attached to his body came into play. It was as if a parachute had suddenly deployed, and the speed at which he fell suddenly slowed down.

It's not so much a fall as a glide.

The next moment, with the splash of water, he fell into the sea.

Thanks to the spell cast in advance, he can breathe normally in the sea, keep his clothes and hair dry, and be protected from the effects of great pressure.

However, when he descended a few meters, all the sound was gone, and the water was silent, and his vision was pitch black. He felt like he had arrived in a strange world, and this world was the only one he had.

He held the "astrolabe" tightly in his hand and quietly felt the call of the deep sea.

The "astrolabe" glowed with silver, like a lonely twinkling star in the night sky.

Gu Xu noticed that the seven points of light belonging to the Big Dipper on the "Astrolabe" were extremely bright at the moment. Its handle rotated around the plate a few times before pointing deeper into the ocean.

Gu Xu followed its guidance and continued to move forward.

After diving for more than 1,000 meters, a wonderful "snow scene" suddenly appeared in front of his eyes - countless snowflakes were flying one after another, and there were even strings of snow flakes flying in the sea, almost indistinguishable from the snow on the surface.

Between the "snowflakes", fluorescent algae, jellyfish and strangely shaped jellyfish pass through from time to time, turning the dark and dull ocean floor into a colorful color.

According to the knowledge he learned in his previous life, Gu Xu knew that these "snowflakes" were called "sea snow", which was a flocculent composed of plankton, also known as "plankton snow". At first glance, it looks like a dream, but in fact it is a mass of mucus, which can also breed bacteria and viruses inside, which poses a threat to ordinary people.

He also saw the legendary "lanternfish", whose scientific name is "deep-sea anglerfish", shaking the fishing rod overhead, seducing the passing prey.

After diving nearly three thousand meters, Gu Xu felt that he was close to the bottom of the ocean.

In the silvery light of the "astrolabe", he saw rolling hills, sunken depressions, and deep trenches. The narrow fault valley spews golden-red magma, which quickly solidifies into rock when it hits the cold seawater.

On the protruding rock, there were several large creatures.

Its shape is like a snake, the head is like a tiger, dozens of feet long, and the sound is like a cow's roar.

Every time they gently wag their tails on the ocean floor, they will set off huge waves on the surface of the sea.

Gu Xu learned from the book that this monster is called "Jiao".

Legend has it that Jiao inhabits the deep sea. When they practice for thousands of years, they will turn clouds into mist, soar into space, and turn into real dragons.

Gu Xu didn't know if this rumor was true.

All he knew was that these evil dragons were blocking his way.

In his perception, the fragments of the "astrolabe" were in the deep ravine beneath them.

Because he was in the deep sea, the fire attribute spell would be limited to a certain extent, so Gu Xu pondered for a moment and decided to respond to the enemy with "Qiankun".

As his eyes turned a deep indigo blue, black spatial cracks appeared in the ocean, like sharp blades, crackling in the direction of the sea Jiao.

When these spatial cracks moved in the sea, the sea water next to them suddenly formed a turbulent undercurrent, as if it wanted to swallow everything around it into the whirlpool.

The sea Jiao also sensed the crisis in front of them.

They writhed their huge bodies, opened their bloody mouths, and rushed towards Gu Xumeng.

In front of them, Gu Xu was as small as a worm, not even enough to fill their teeth.

But it also means he's flexible.

With the help of the "Meteor Walking the Moon" footwork, he shuttled back and forth between several sea Jiao, and the sea Jiao's IQ did not seem to be high, so they would only blindly chase him, and after a few seconds, their bodies were entangled together, almost tied in a dead knot.
