Chapter 800: Deep Sea Kingdom
During the previous twenty-two days of sailing, the average depth of the ice ocean was about 3,000 meters, and occasionally a trench with a depth of more than 5,000 meters was encountered.
But at this moment, the depth of the ice ocean suddenly deepened abruptly, directly from 3,000 meters to a depth of 10,000 meters!
Even Midi's psionic power, in the increasingly thick and cold waters, could not reach the bottom of the ocean in an instant.
And even the extremely good submarine Nautilus had to stop on the edge of this almost vertical underwater cliff.
From 3,000 meters to 10,000 meters, there is a full 7,000 meters in between.
Even with the power of the sea, Midi didn't dare to let the Nautilus rush directly from this height, and even if he was fine, the submarine would definitely fall to pieces.
The only way is for Midi to come out directly, and then carry the submarine down slowly.
It took a while for Midi to actually put the Nautilus on the bottom of the sea at a depth of 10,000 meters without causing any movement.
At a distance of seven kilometers, if flying horizontally, Midi would only take a few breaths to reach it.
But from the high to the low, and still in the deep sea, it took more than twenty minutes.
On the one hand, it is because Midi is still holding the large ship Nautilus, and on the other hand, it is also because every kilometer of descent will produce an extremely noticeable change in the magic pressure and water pressure in the sea.
If you ignore this change and continue to dive, one or two kilometers is fine, but if it exceeds three thousand meters, even a true dragon body like Midi will be affected to a certain extent.
In the unlikely event that an enemy launches a surprise attack from the shadows at this time, one of them is not good, and Midi will be disadvantaged.
Therefore, Midi, a strong man who has already stepped into the realm of the "Awakening Emperor" in half a step, has to dive slowly step by step.
This is the invisible boundary of the "kingdom of the deep sea" of the Eighth Apostle Lotus.
After arriving at the bottom of the sea, Midi found that the seabed here was as if it was paved with a layer of marble, smooth and without any flaws, completely different from the mottled seabed formed by nature before, as if it had been built up artificially.
"My strength is a little lower than that of several strong people among the apostles, and I can't even cultivate, how can I have time to repair the ground of the Deep Sea Kingdom? The reason why the bottom of the sea here is so flat is because of the ice veins on the bottom of the sea, in other words, what you are stepping on at the moment is not rocks, but heavy ice. β
As if sensing Midi's guess, Lotus smiled wryly and explained in a self-deprecating tone.
The flat seabed at a depth of 10,000 meters is caused by the power of ice veins, and the "heavy ice" formed violates the rules of physics and is heavier than water, so it sinks to the deepest depths of the seabed.
Midi even suspected that the reason why the depth of this place was 10,000 meters instead of 3,000 meters was that it had been pressed out by this "heavy ice" for a long time.
There is no doubt that the thickest area of the ice is where the ice veins are at their strongest.
That is, the best place for Midi to build the "altar of life refining".
"Let's go deeper inside, a few more days of walking, we should be able to reach my deep sea palace complex, now that the ice ocean has become like this, it is only natural that those betrayers occupy my palace, right? β
Lotus said coldly, with a fierce taste in his tone.
Although he sighed sentimentally for a few days before, Lotus was a "supreme powerhouse" level figure after all, so he naturally wouldn't let himself be immersed in this kind of feeling.
Now, with Midi arriving in the Deep Sea Kingdom, his mentality has long since adjusted.
Whether it is sadness, anger, or hatred of the betrayer, all these feelings have been suppressed in the heart of the eighth apostle.
The only thing he had to do now was to guide Midi to the best possible route so that the rest of the battle could be as effective as possible.
That's all.
"In the solid ice, there is a secret passage, Midi, you control the Nautilus forward, and when you see a two-hundred-meter-high ice peak, you will immediately search, there should be a hidden river channel underground, you can directly reach a nearby secret dock, avoid a lot of trouble. β
Lotus pointed.
This is the Deep Sea Kingdom, where the Eighth Apostle has been entrenched for thousands of years, and every ice surface, every undersea passage, he knows it very clearly, like looking at palm prints.
But even with Lotus's guidance, Midi's journey is not overwhelming.
Every once in a while, his Nautilus would encounter patrolling groups of sea beasts, from silver sharks to spotted jellyfish.
Although these demonic beasts are also in a state of madness, they are not the same as those they encountered in the open seas of the Ice Ocean before.
Sea beasts have no mind, or have a very low IQ, and combined with the effect of madness, they will produce a strong attack psychology that will be tortured and killed by everyone except their own kind.
But the mad sea beasts in this deep sea kingdom, although their strength is as strong as those on the periphery, they act in an orderly manner, and they will not attack each other.
Not only that, but their patrol routes are extremely flawed, and they are clearly very targeted.
There is no doubt that these sea beasts are the real "army" in the hands of those sea powerhouses, who have enough combat power and are able to obey orders.
The most important thing is that since these mad sea beasts have come out to patrol, it shows one thing-
"Sure enough, after killing so many sea beasts on the periphery, I'm afraid we've already attracted attention, right? Besides, I'm driving the Nautilus that you built yourself, Rotus, once this news is transmitted, it will definitely arouse the alarm of these ocean powerhouses. Looks like it's time to speed things up. β
Midi was quick to make a decision.
However, although he knew that the other party had begun to make some moves, Midi did not panic.
After all, no matter how elite these mad sea beasts are, there are still flaws in patrolling after all.
For Midi, this kind of flaw is no different from the opening of the door.
In the final analysis, it's just a few ocean powerhouses joining forces, and no matter how strong their cultivation level is, they can only have the realm of the "Awakened Emperor" at most.
In "Inheritance of the Overlord", Midi escaped the pursuit of "quasi-supreme powerhouses" such as Kazan's Shadow.
At that time, the pursuer he faced was a sabotage serpent composed of Kazan's "destructive divine power".
Moreover, it is in the lava crust several kilometers deep underground.
There is a world of difference, both in terms of the environment and in terms of opponents.
Just like that, he was successfully broken through by Midi, and now this blockade of Cheng dΓΉ, how can it be difficult for him?
Instead of relying solely on the Nautilus's silent underwater navigation, but with all his concentration in reining his breath, Midi silently slipped through the gaps in this huge patrol net like a shadow lurking at the bottom of the sea.
Soon, he found the "ice peak" in Lotus's mouth, and used it as a landmark to find the passage below the seabed.
The location of this passage was sealed with a phantom array, and even the mad sea beasts didn't know the mysteries of this place at all, and after Midi got into it, it was really able to let the Nautilus move forward at a faster speed.
However, this section of the undersea passage does not lead directly to the deep sea palace of Lotus, but can only send Midi to a secret dock.
Once out of the secret dock, Midi had to find a new passage once more, sneaking through GuΓ² several times to reach her destination.
And every time he came out, he would find that the number of patrol troops in the deep sea was increasing, and the density of patrols was also increasing.
This is not to say that Midi's Nautilus is exposed, but because Midi is getting closer to the center.
The closer you are to the core, the stronger your natural defenses will be.
Later, when Midi's spiritual energy swept away, what he saw was no longer the search force specially released by those sea powerhouses, but the defense troops stationed in this deep sea kingdom, as well as all kinds of defense arrays.
Due to the transmission effect brought by the seawater, although the strength of these sea beasts is not as good as that of the destruction snake, they are extremely sensitive, and with the compensation of various magic circles that are easy to activate, even Midi has gradually become unable to move an inch.
This is no longer the kind of pursuit battle that you face in the face of Kazan's Shadow, but a positional battle.
At this point, even Midi couldn't enter the core of the deep sea palace without alarming the other party at all.
"Do you want to break in? Or, do you want to think of another way?"
Looking at a fortress under the sea in the distance, made of pure heavy ice, Midi fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Senior Lotus, how far is it from here to the Deep Sea Palace?"
"The straight-line distance is about two thousand kilometers, however, there should be layers of fortifications in this, and I am afraid that several ocean powerhouses have already set up their respective palaces here, and it may not be easy to break through in one go, and the most afraid is to be escaped by one person, and then alarm the second apostle. β
Lotus replied simply, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Unexpectedly, Midi showed a smile on his chest and said, "Who said I was going to break through?"
A few minutes later, a true dragon's claw suddenly appeared in the ocean and smashed viciously at the Sea Clan fortress that stood in front of Midi!
The power of this true dragon's claw in the sea water is much greater than on land, and the claw itself has not yet been pressed, just the water pressure that stirs it up directly crushes the fortress completely, and even the hundreds of sea beasts stationed in it are all crushed into meat cakes!
Immediately after, the Nautilus jumped out of its hiding place, and with lightning speed, it rushed all the way to the direction of the Deep Sea Palace like an arrow from the string!
This earth-shattering blow immediately caused a shock in the entire sea area!
The originally cold and dead underwater world immediately became noisy, and from the location of the deep sea palace, there was one powerful aura after another.
Most of them are the breath of the "Awakening King", but there is also a breath that rises to the sky, which is extremely heavy.
As soon as this breath rose, it was as if this sea area had been directly lifted by him, it was the real "Awakening Emperor"!
"Who dares to break into the kingdom of this emperor?"
A faint voice sounded, and at the same time, an overwhelming force had been suppressed on the Nautilus.
It is the power of "Locking Heaven and Earth" that the "Awakening Emperor" has!
