Chapter 424: Deep Horror 26
The sea level is like a pool of stagnant water, without even a ripple.
The sea water is a black color, and at first glance, it looks more like some kind of black slimy liquid, similar to some kind of petroleum, and the sea surface smells foul, and even some smoke on the eyes.
Josh frowned slightly, subconsciously holding his breath.
When you look closely, you will find that the sea surface is full of dead bodies of some floating sea creatures, all kinds of dead fish, whales, dolphins, and small fish and shrimp, which should have been dead for a long time, and the smell is terrifying.
From time to time, bubbles will burst in some places, and it looks like they are about to explode at any moment.
A deep voice sounded behind him: "Do you know how long we have survived in this environment? ”
Josh turned his head and saw the idol behind him.
She frowned slightly: "How long?" ”
Idol: "Hundreds of years." ”
"Since the loss of the king in this sea, the sea has no ability to purify. The king followed in the queen's footsteps and left the sea. ”
"At first, our days were relatively peaceful, but then an undersea volcano erupted. The king returned to the sea, and in order to save us, he used up most of his divine power to freeze the bottom of the sea. ”
"He thought he would protect us and left quickly. But then ......"
"Humans have destroyed the marine ecosystem, global warming, and glaciers are melting. In order to conduct experiments, humans discharged nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean in batches. Coupled with the original man-made garbage, the ecological environment of the ocean was rapidly destroyed, and our bodies underwent genetic mutations. ”
"Without the king, we can only turn to humanity for help. But when humans first saw mermaids come ashore, they went completely crazy......"
"They began to catch a lot of seabed organisms for experimentation, and the seabed creatures became more and more bizarre, and many new species appeared to disrupt the ecological order of the seabed."
"Old and new species began to kill each other, humans dumped the failed subjects directly into the ocean, and the mermaids, as the king's people, fought for hundreds of years against the mad subjects in order to protect other underwater creatures."
"Later, the bottom of the sea turned into hell, all kinds of piranhas appeared, and the creatures of the sea were devoured by this brutal species."
Josh asked, puzzled, "Can't you run away?" The bottom of the sea is much bigger than the land, so you should be able to escape, right? ”
The idol looked at her deeply, "Yes." But there are traitors among the creatures of the seabed. The octopus traitor who was executed by the king was revived by humans using modern genes and genetically modified into a mermaid species. It dived to the bottom of the ocean and stole the king's second heart, the heart of the ocean. At the beckoning of Heart of the Ocean, no species on the bottom of the sea can resist human predation. ”
"It took a lot of effort to steal the Heart of the Ocean back, and in revenge for humanity, we also broke two boats, a sightseeing cruise ship and a test ship."
"The traitors are also trapped at the bottom of the ocean by us, locked up with the heart of the ocean."
When Josh heard this, it became clear to her eyes that the tentacle monster she killed next to the Heart of the Ocean was indeed the octopus she had killed in her newbie dungeon.
So this quest is the newbie quest she's been in before!
A new dungeon timeline has been continued.
It's just weird......
The idol looked at her, and his voice was a little darker, "Do you know how hard it took us to get the Heart of the Ocean back to the bottom of the sea?" ”
"Once Heart of the Ocean returns to the test ship and is empowered by humans, no creature on the bottom of the ocean will be able to resist humans, and we will eventually perish."
"Human, are you still going to take the Heart of the Ocean with you?"
Josh looked at the idol, his eyes flashing slightly: "Yes." ”
The idol fell silent.
Josh could feel the air around her squeeze toward her, like a physical wall, pressing her hard into the middle.
The idol was angry.
Josh said, "Is this God's judgment?" ”
Statue: "No, God's judgment is that if you take the heart of the ocean with you, then you will be responsible for the creatures of the sea." Josh, if any of the creatures of the sea pay for your life, then the whole ocean will be the enemy of you, hunting you to the ends of the earth until you die. ”
"Even so, are you going to take Heart of the Ocean with you?"
Josh nodded: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for the underwater creatures." I also promise you that if you let me take the Heart of the Ocean away today, one day, I will return you a complete king. ”
The idol stared at her, silent for a long time.
Josh saw a change in the landscape around him.
She was back at the bottom of the sea, her teammates were still around, everyone was sitting quietly on the ground with their eyes closed, looking like they were in a meditative state, and their expressions were calm and calm.
Josh was about to speak, but it was pitch black again.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her changed dramatically.
The idol's voice sounded again, but not the same as the one in front of it.
"Don't make a decision just yet, I want to show you something."
Josh nodded, his body relaxed.
The surrounding scene gradually brightened.
This is a laboratory-like place, the laboratory area is huge, and the tanks of transparent blue-green liquid resemble fish tanks, and the underwater creatures in the tanks are kept in captivity.
Some are pipefish with hands and feet, some are seahorses with antennas on their heads, and all sorts of strange monsters that look like patchwork together.
Josh's gaze moved forward, and the sight was blissfully approaching her direction.
Only then did she see that it was something that resembled an operating table, surrounded by heavily armed humans in white coats.
On the operating table lies a female mermaid with a frightened expression on her face and a collar around her neck with a sharp metal object stuck into her throat to prevent her from making sounds.
The doctor in the white coat next to him was preparing something.
Josh's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The doctor held two steel plates, similar to a defibrillator, and the moment the defibrillator touched the merman's abdomen, the merfolk struggled violently.
Josh's abdomen suddenly began to ache sharply, and the pain seemed to come from within his body, spreading from his abdomen to his whole body, and even to the top of his head.
She felt like her body was going to be torn apart.
Josh snorted and subconsciously squatted down and covered his abdomen.
But there is nothing but smooth skin on the abdomen.
There were no wounds, no signs of burning, and no discomfort.
The pain in her body gradually faded, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The scene in front of her changed for a new time, and a glass pillar standing upright appeared in front of her, and two fish were placed in the glass pillar, which looked more like a pair of children and mothers, one large and one small.
Before Josh could get ready, he felt a burst of electricity rush through his body from the outside to the inside.
At the same time that the body was electronumized, a sharp stinging pain suddenly rose in the body.
