Chapter 298: The World Upside Down

"Vortex?"

At this time, in front of the White Bone Island, Mu You also encountered the same situation as Jack.

"How can there be a whirlpool in a place like this?" Lin Xue looked at the huge sea whirlpool in front of her, and was also a little surprised.

She didn't have much research in oceanography, but she knew that sea whirlpools generally only formed at the intersection of ocean currents, and it was unusual for a flat, windless sea like the one in front of her to suddenly form such a large whirlpool.

"There is no problem with the course......"

Mu You observed the pointing of the compass in his hand, and as the hull of the ship swam around the periphery of the whirlpool, the pointer always pointed steadily to the center of the whirlpool.

"In other words, the entrance is probably in this vortex......"

"At the entrance of Sky City, will there be such obvious signs...... Lin Xue asked. In order to prevent it from being invaded by other races, Sky City is said to have set up the entrance very hidden, but the giant vortex under it is too obvious to be seen by any nearby creature.

"Normal circumstances really shouldn't ...... It is estimated that the tsunami created by the octopus king just now caused some changes in the location of the entrance......" Mu You guessed.

In any case, there is no other way to go now but to trust the compass.

"Collect the sails and enter the whirlpool!" Initial website p://m.biquke.

Mu You ordered, and the ghost crew on the ship began to work quickly, putting away all the sails, and then the bow of the ship turned around, heading straight for the big whirlpool ahead.

More than a dozen ships behind him were still pursuing, but the distance was far enough that Mu You ignored them, and watched the Ghost smoothly sail into the outer range of the whirlpool.

However, just when he thought that the Ghost would start to circle along the whirlpool next, there seemed to be a strange force in the whirlpool, pushing the Wraith outward.

The Wraith arced around the edge of the whirlpool, and was thrown out of the whirlpool from the other side.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

Everyone on the boat was at a loss.

Isn't it supposed to be carried by the current to the center after entering the whirlpool? Why was it still bounced out?

Mu You hurriedly tried to drive the boat into the whirlpool again, but the result was still the same, just entering and being thrown out, as if he had hit the same pole of some kind of magnetic pole, and was instantly pushed away by the powerful repulsion.

At this time, the fleet of ships granted by the monarch in the distance had already approached, and some continued to chase around the edge of the whirlpool, but there were also a few ships that did not have time to turn and rushed directly into the whirlpool range.

To Mu You and the others' surprise, these people's boats rushed into the whirlpool, but instead of being thrown away, they began to rotate inward along the current, and no matter how hard the people on the boat rowed, they couldn't break free.

"Strange, why did they get in?" Xiaoya asked suspiciously, does this whirlpool still have double standards?

"Is it ......?"

Mu You turned his head and looked at the many ghost crew members on the ship.

The entrance to Dawn City, which is claimed to be accessible only by the Fool and the Fool's Enchantment, is it from here that other creatures are repelled?

Thinking of this, Mu You took out the boat and threw it next to the Ghost: "Xiaoxue Xiaoya will come with me, and the others will stay." ”

"Oh......"

Xiaoya didn't ask much, and hurriedly jumped into the boat with Mu You. After Lin Xue also boarded the boat, Mu You drove the boat to the whirlpool.

As a result, it was pushed out again.

"Could it be that backpacks also have an effect?"

Mu You looked at a backpack on his waist, which contained Vivian, little spiders, and many forest spirits who had just been rescued from the undersea prison.

Vivien and the little spider are both in a contractual relationship with him, and it should be those elves who will affect the determination of the vortex at this time.

Mu You released Vivian and the little spider chocobo into other backpacks, and then threw the backpack to the panda people on the Ghost, and then tried to sail into the whirlpool again.

This time, it was finally not ejected again, and the boat was carried by the whirlpool smoothly and approached the center.

Sure enough, it's the impact of the backpack!

Mu You estimates that probably because the entrance of the backpack is directly connected to this world, it is also judged to be the same interface, unless it is a backpack that is located in another interface like the lock cylinder space and cannot be opened in the Star Spirit Realm, it will not be affected.

"Wait, Mu You, I'll go too!" Seeing the boat walking away quickly, Ye Rumeng, who was left on the boat, hurriedly spoke.

"Stay on board, don't run around! Uncle Cat, the boat will ask you to help take care of the little girl. Mu You shouted at the panda man.

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you to come back outside the Evil Spirit Sea!" The panda man responded.

"Woo ......"

Just as Mu You finished explaining the arrangements and was about to enter the whirlpool with peace of mind, the familiar hiss of the octopus king sounded again, and this time, the distance was so close that it seemed to sound above everyone's heads......

All the humans nearby subconsciously looked up, and saw that on the side of the whirlpool, a huge octopus head emerged from underwater, and a pair of deep pupils looked down at the people below like ants, and their eyes swept over, and their eyes quickly focused on the boat where Mu You was.

"Why did you come at this time......

Mu You frowned secretly, looking at this guy's straight eyes, it was obvious that he was coming at him.

Fortunately, he has now entered the whirlpool, and this place excludes all non-foolish creatures, even the Octopus King, which should not be able to enter......

Just as Mu You was thinking so, he saw the octopus king move, his eight claws emerged from the bottom of the water, and they all squirmed and quickly approached the whirlpool, and finally rushed directly into the whirlpool.

This whirlpool really has a repulsive force against the octopus king, and the octopus king becomes slower and slower after entering the whirlpool, but it is still crawling forward tenaciously, although the speed is as slow as a snail, but it is indeed getting closer to the center of the whirlpool little by little.

Mu You found that he still underestimated this octopus, and actually relied on brute force to break the exclusion rules of Dawn City.

Of course, the repulsion of this whirlpool is not so easy to break through, and the more the octopus king swims inward, the slower his speed becomes, and by the time he reaches the middle of the whirlpool, he is already close to stagnate.

But then something even more terrifying happened: after the octopus king found that he couldn't go any further, he suddenly shook his eight claws, and the tips of the eight claws extended out in unison.

The slender octopus legs stretched down the surface of the sea, wrapping around several ships approaching the center of the whirlpool, including Mu You's boat.

Several ships suddenly fell into stagnation, and they were frozen in the middle of the whirlpool with the octopus king, unable to move forward a bit, and were even being carried by the octopus feet, pulling out little by little.

Not only that, but after these slender octopus tentacles roll up on the ship, they will instantly split, turning into small octopuses half a human in height, attacking the humans on the boat.

The personnel on each ship hurriedly resisted and used various means to remove the octopus.

On Mu You's side, he and Lin Xue were also killing octopuses with all their might, but every time they killed a batch, the octopus feet under the boat would quickly regenerate, and then turn into more small octopuses.

Relying on the two of them to slash one by one, they can't clean it up at all.

"This won't work, you have to cut off the octopus foot ......"

Mu You glanced at the huge octopus in the distance, which was also wrapped in a whirlpool, took out the flying broom, held the wand in one hand, and held the broom in the other, and flew out of the boat directly.

In the sky above this whirlpool, there is also a layer of entangled and circling turbulence, which is interfering with Mu You's flight, but it is better than being swept away by the ocean current directly underwater.

And the octopus king is more restrained at this time, under the effect of repulsion, the octopus king is almost in a state of immobility, a little chaos, it is possible to be thrown out by the whirlpool, it is a good opportunity to attack.

Mu You flew directly to the octopus foot that was entangled in their boat, found the part that was exposed on the water, and on the wand in his hand, an arc sword dozens of meters long emerged and cut downward.

I've tried it in the Dream Castle before, and the arc sword can cut through the tentacles of the Octopus King, so it should be possible here.

It's just that the octopus king obviously won't watch himself being attacked, and at the moment when the arc slashed, countless small tentacles instantly split out on the surface of the octopus's feet below, like a spirit snake, swept towards Mu You in the sky.

Mu You hurriedly put away the arc sword, concentrating on controlling the broom to dodge, relying on the speed of the flying broom and the unpredictable prophet of the pocket watch, only then did he dodge all the tentacles.

It seems that the octopus king has a memory of the power of the arc sword, and knows that this thing can hurt it, and will never let Mu You have a chance to get close.

Mu You hovered over the octopus's feet on a broom for several weeks, but he never found a chance to do it.

Just as the situation was at an impasse, no one noticed that at the edge of the whirlpool, a merfolk emerged from underwater.

Looking at the huge octopus in front of him, and Mu You, who was flying in mid-air to fight, the mermaid hesitated, opened its mouth, and faced the octopus, and let out a series of extremely beautiful songs from its mouth.

No one could understand what she was singing, it seemed that she was simply humming a ballad, but the voice had a strange charm, making the surrounding creatures unconsciously stop their movements, obsessed with this heavenly sound.

Even the octopus king fell into a momentary sluggishness because of the mermaid's humming.

Among the creatures on the scene, only Mu You was not affected by this singing.

The mermaid's song?

Mu You reacted instantly, legend has it that some of the clansmen in the mermaid are born with a natural singing voice, and they can tempt the creatures and navigators at sea by singing, so that the consciousness of the creatures is lost, and the ship hits the reef and sinks.

Of course, there must be a price for such a strong singing voice, and the price is that every time the mermaid sings, her voice will be wasted, and it will take a long time to recover.

Mu You looked in the direction of the mermaid. He hadn't heard her speak since he had met her, and now he finally heard her voice, but at a terrible cost.

Mu You had already seen that while the mermaid was singing, the corners of her mouth were constantly coughing up blood, obviously suffering great pain.

He didn't have time to think about it, the mermaid won him an excellent opportunity to attack, and at this moment, the octopus king was also charmed by the mermaid's singing, even if it was only for a second, it was enough.

Mu You immediately retraced the time, turned the broom, and rushed straight to the octopus foot below.

A large number of tentacles resurfaced and swept towards Mu You, but at this moment, the mermaid's song sounded again.

At the same time as the humming sounded, all the tentacles seemed to enter petrification and became motionless.

Mu You controlled the broom to flexibly pass through the tentacle group and came to the front of the octopus, and the arc dozens of meters long quickly took shape.

The arc sword slashed at the surface of the octopus king's body without reservation, cutting through the octopus's foot at a slow but smooth speed. Although because the tentacle was too thick, it could not be cut off directly, and only about half of it was cut off, and it was impossible to move an inch.

"Woo ......"

In the next second, the octopus king came to his senses, and the knife obviously made it hurt, and let out a deafening hiss, and the octopus foot that was cut subconsciously curled back, and the boat was freed.

However, the other ships were miserable, and many of them were carried out of the whirlpool when the octopus king was struggling, and they were crumpled into pieces by the enraged octopus king in the air.

Mu You didn't have time to care about the others, so he hurriedly returned to the boat and accelerated his escape.

Under the struggle of the octopus king, he was also thrown out by the whirlpool and landed on the sea outside, but he attacked the mermaid who dared to do good things to it for the first time.

Mu You was still a little worried about the safety of the mermaid, but he found that he thought too much, and the mermaid was more clever than he imagined, so he slipped away immediately after finishing the matter. In terms of swimming, the mermaid is the real overlord of the sea, even if it is the octopus king, he can't catch up with the mermaid's tail in the sea.

After confirming the safety of the mermaid, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, at this time the boat had sailed to the center of the whirlpool, driven by the current, it spun rapidly and rushed into the vertical channel in the center of the whirlpool, falling straight down, completely disappearing on the water.

It's just that what Mu You didn't notice was that the octopus king in the distance saw the boat disappear, and did not rush into the whirlpool again, but suddenly entangled the eight claws together, and the other seven octopus feet were entangled with the tentacles that Mu You had chopped off, and in a sound of torn flesh and muscles, the octopus foot was torn off alive.

The surging blood instantly dyed the sea red, and the whirlpool in the distance directly turned into a blood-colored whirlpool.

Immediately, the octopus king threw the broken octopus foot towards the center of the whirlpool......

Mu You didn't know what was going on in the outside world, at this moment he was falling vertically along the hollow waterway, his speed getting faster and faster, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, until he completely lost all light.

The ability to see at night doesn't play any role here, and in the darkness, Mu You only feels that the boat keeps falling, falling......

After several minutes of sinking, the speed of the boat's fall slowed down suddenly.

Mu You felt that the gravity on his body seemed to have changed direction, obviously the boat was still going down, but the actual feeling was that it had become floating.

Then the boat began to float faster and faster, until a few minutes later, as the surrounding light brightened, the boat finally surfaced.

Mu You opened his eyes and saw that the bright moon was hanging high in the sky above his head, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the ground in a silvery white.

They were now in the middle of a lake, and at the edge of the lake was a boundless continent, or 'city'.

The land was littered with the remains of all kinds of buildings, as if there had been an unprecedented earthquake, or some kind of great collision, in short, all the buildings were in ruins, and the streets were empty, with no human figures in sight, no insects or birds, as if this was a dead world.

Mu You looked back at the small boat beside him, on the small boat, Xiao Ya and Lin Xue were there, except that their faces were a little paler, they didn't seem to be injured.

"Vomit ......"

Before Mu You could speak, Xiaoya next to him was already lying on the bow of the boat and vomiting.

After the bump and gravity reversal just now, it is normal to have this kind of seasickness.

On the contrary, Mu You and Lin Xue, probably because they often sit in the dark teleportation array, have long been accustomed to this kind of dizziness, and they don't feel any discomfort at this time.

The two rowed the boat and docked the boat on the shore, and helped Xiaoya, who was starry-eyed, to go ashore.

[You have entered the 'City of Dawn', there is a no-fly area in the City of Dawn, please do not attempt to summon flying creatures, or perform any flight maneuvers.] 】

"No-fly ......"

Mu You raised his head and swept towards the ruined city in front of him, he didn't know why, it was obviously a very normal street layout, but he always felt that there was a sense of incongruity in the picture that caught his eyes.

"Huh?"

At this time, Lin Xue on the side suddenly raised her hands and stared at the palms of her hands.

"How?"

"The direction here seems to be reversed."

Lin Xue said: "The palm prints of my left and right hands have changed, and the left and right hands have switched positions. ”

Then she put another hand on her chest: "Well, the position of the heart has also changed......

"Oh?"

Mu You also took off his gloves and looked at his hands.

Sure enough, the Aries ring, which was originally worn on the right hand, has appeared on the left hand.

"In other words, this is the equivalent of a mirror world, and all directions are reversed......"

Mu You looked up at the street in front of him again, and finally understood why there was a sense of disobedience.

It's the words, and on the signboards of the buildings in front of them, all the words and characters are all reversed, so it looks so awkward.
