Chapter 598: Beneath the Sea
They keep the map in their minds.
Walk directly in the direction indicated on the map, passing through some city-states, villages and other places along the way, because of the special appearance and strange clothing, it is easy to attract others to stop and watch.
Bai Zhong didn't take it seriously, walked for a long time, and simply judged the location nearby, almost walking to the southernmost part of North America.
From north to south, it turned out that I had traveled so far.
As instructed on the map, they entered a jungle, and then went east, through the whole jungle, to the shore, where there was no way ahead, and what they saw was a cliff and the sea.
At the end of the jungle is a mountain cliff.
Below the cliff is a sea with waves churning and crashing on the shore.
You can also see some small islands and reefs below, and the snow-white waves crash on the reef and make a rattling sound.
"Follow the instructions on the map, there is no way here." Asura frowned.
Bai Zhong thought for a moment and said: "It's not that there is no way, I think the road is ahead, it may be in the bottom of the sea, I don't know if this is Chuck Chel, or Ichichel, I will go into the sea to see, can you jump from here?" ”
They shook their heads slightly.
has not opened up the Purple Mansion yet, and the strength can't keep up, and it can't float in the air.
If you jump from here, even if you don't die, you'll fall because it's very high.
"There are a lot of vines in the woods, let's go down when you're ready!"
Bai Zhong looked left and right for a while, and there was no way down the cliff from here.
They quickly prepared the vines, and Bai Zhong jumped out first, landing on a reef below, observing the situation on the surface of the sea and judging where the entrance should be.
Just as they were descending the cliff, several figures appeared in the jungle above, looking at them from a distance.
The tracking method of these people is very special.
Even Bai Zhong couldn't sense it, they followed behind him.
Yueli and the others descended almost down the vines, borrowed strength on the cliff wall, kicked their legs, jumped out, and landed on the reef beside Bai Zhong.
The waves just happened to crash over, and the snow-white waves splashed up with a height of people, but as soon as the waves approached, they were blocked by their aura, and not a drop of water could splash up.
"The sea is so big, how do we find the entrance?" Ju looked left and right for a while, clueless.
"I think, there."
Asura pointed to a depression on the north side of the cliff, and continued, "The current here is relatively fast, and occasionally a whirlpool can be formed, and there should be a hole underwater. ”
Bai Zhong thought that Asura's words made sense, and said, "Go over and take a look." ”
With that, he flew over.
They could only use their qi to protect themselves, fell into the water, swam slowly past, and soon came to the hollow place, and felt a suction force emerge from the water.
They can stabilize their body and be unaffected by suction.
But in the end, they still had to go in and have a look, so they didn't struggle, let the suction in the water suck in, and at the same time protect their bodies with Gang Qi to avoid injury.
Sou!
The next moment!
The crowd appeared in a cave.
This is below the seabed.
The entrance to the cave is the seawater, but there is a special membrane that isolates the churning sea water outside, and no matter how turbulent it is, it cannot break through this membrane.
"It's kind of fun here." Bai Zhong retracted his gaze, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
After passing through the passage, there was a cliff-like place in front of me, and below the cliff, there was still sparkling water, which should be seawater, and strangely, the sea water could rush in, but it did not submerge the place.
"Look, giant!"
Yueli pointed ahead.
On the edge of the cliff, there is also a passage to the rest of the city.
But above the passage, there is a figure hanging, all of them are corpses, I don't know how long they have been hanging here, the corpses that have been hung up, there is no wind and automatic, and below the corpses, there is also a groove.
Bai Zhong walked over to take a look, and found that the body was still hanging on his legs, head down, and there was a knife mark at the neck artery, which had been drained of blood.
The corpse did not decompose, it became a dried corpse, so the knife marks were easily recognizable.
The groove below seems to be used to receive blood water, and there are remnants of black blood on it, which I don't know how long it has existed, and the black blood stains seem to merge with the groove.
The groove is designed to be so special that when it extends to the edge of the cliff, it disappears into the cliff wall, and you don't know where it leads.
It seems that they collected blood to perform some kind of sacrificial ritual.
"Let's take a look."
Bai Zhong ignored the corpses and walked through the passage to a huge space.
There are also a lot of corpses hanging here.
Bai Zhong quickly glanced at it, and could judge the number of corpses, which was more than two thousand.
It's all with the head underneath and the legs hanging up, and there is no longer a groove under them, but a huge blood basin, which in turn collects the blood, and a groove at the very end that guides the blood to other places.
Now, of course, there can't be blood.
"What is the use of this place, collecting blood?" Yueli was surprised.
Bai Zhong said: "It is probably related to the sacrifice, and the only passage here seems to be only the groove behind the blood basin, so let's take a look." ”
It's all coming, and it's coming for the curse.
They won't leave easily until they figure out what's in it and find a way to get rid of the spell.
Following the groove of the blood basin, after walking for a while, they found a staircase leading to the bottom, and after a few more walks, there was a sea of water in front of them.
"Diving again."
Bai Zhong said helplessly: "Let's go in." ”
They fell into the sea together, dived for a long time, and finally reached the end, and then climbed up, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up.
A building resembling a temple appears in front of you.
Around the hall, colorful murals are painted, and even after the washing of time, the colors of the murals are still the same.
What is painted on it, Bai Zhong doesn't know much about the civilization here, so he can't understand it at all.
Next to the wall, there is also a row of balustrades that form a promenade.
There are many stone chairs in the temple, and at the front, there is a tall statue of a god, as for what god it is, they also can't understand it, combined with the arrangement of stone chairs, here is like those churches, let people sit in front of the gods and pray to the gods.
"Master, look, there is that rune in the heart of that statue."
The asura pointed forward.
The rune was right on the heart of the idol.
Shimmering with a glittering light, it seems a little deep.
But it's not entirely dark here.
Because around the statue, on the railing, there are candlesticks, lit as if they are everlasting lamps, it should be the legend, the kind of lamp made of merman grease, burning for I don't know how many years.
However, the pattern of the runes is particularly obvious in this environment.
"I finally found the right place."
Bai Zhong's words made them breathe a sigh of relief.
I didn't find the wrong place, and I could solve the curse in no time.
