Chapter 64: Into the Seabed
In the end, Xiao Liu kicked the sand under his feet and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Dad, what the hell did you encounter on the island of Greebo? I saw you at the police station this morning...... The appearance of a youkai. ”
Lao Liu looked at his son who had grown up, and was determined not to hide it from his son, so he told his son Xiao Liu everything that happened on the bottom of the herringbone island.
Xiao Liu heard all the unbelievable things, and said with a shocked face: "Then Uncle Liu, they have all become like that?"
Lao Liu nodded, and continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back.
Lao Liu buried his head alone, walked forward for a while, and suddenly turned around and said solemnly to his son: "Son, I will go with the police to save people tomorrow." ”
"What?" "No, no, Dad, you've finally come back, how can you go on an adventure again." Xiao Liu pulled his father to persuade him and wanted his father to give up this decision.
"Son," Lao Liu patted the back of Xiao Liu's hand and said in a deep voice: "There are a few people with great magical powers in the police station, I was cured by them, they will definitely be able to save everyone, and I will be fine." ”
After Xiao Liu heard what his father said, he immediately thought of the man who dragged himself to the interrogation room with one hand in the police station today, and he couldn't use any strength at that time.
"But, they have great magical powers, so why do you want to go to Dad?"
Lao Liu smiled and replied, "I'm going to be a guide for them and drive the boat." They said that as long as I got them to the herringbone island, I would be back. ”
Xiao Liu listened to his father's words, pondered for a while, and suddenly said to his father seriously: "I'll go, I'll be their guide." ”
"I don't agree. When Lao Liu heard that his son was going, he angrily shook off his hand.
"Dad," Xiao Liu knelt in front of Lao Liu.
"What are you doing, get up!"
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Liu looked at his father, who was tall but already had white hair, and said: "Dad, you have suffered so much in order to make up for my medical expenses, and you have even been turned into a monster, and now that you have finally come back safely, I will definitely not let you take any more risks." ”
"I've been fishing with you since I was a child, and although I've never been to Signbone Island, I'm familiar with the waters around it. And now that I'm well, and my physical strength is better than yours, you can let me go for you. ”
"Dad, you should treat this as if this is your son to repay you. ”
After listening to his son, Lao Liu had already burst into tears, and he trembled and helped up his son who was kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, good, worthy of being the descendants of my old Liu family, son, you have grown up!"
Lao Liu instructed his son some important things and took his son home. He decided to hide this from his wife and couldn't let his wife worry anymore.
In the urban area of Liuhai City, Mu Chen and Jieshe left to buy the equipment they will use tomorrow. The reason why they set off tomorrow was to wait for Lao Liu to go back and report his safety to his family, and second, they knew that they would have to dive in by themselves in order not to startle the snake. They can swim, but for deep diving, you have to buy professional diving equipment.
Regarding the people who will travel tomorrow, Wuyu and Li Dongyi are different, because according to Lao Liu's description, the queen can catch so many people and turn the bottom of the sea into a magnificent palace, from this point of view, that queen is definitely not an ordinary person, his strength, Mu Chen and others are immeasurable.
Wuyu and Li Dongyi have no mana, and only Mu Chen and Duan She have left in this matter.
Early the next morning, swimming on the beach, Wang Shi prepared a boat with good performance early, and Li Dongyi and Wuyu also came to the shore to see off Mu Chen and Jiesheli.
Li Dongyi took out two high-precision Beidou positioning alarm devices from his pocket and handed them to Mu Chen and Duan Sheli.
When Mu Chen and Broken Away are in danger, as long as they press the button of the device, the Broken Away device can emit a 100-meter large net containing ultra-high voltage electricity. Mu Chen, on the other hand, will launch a super powerful deflagration bomb. In addition, as long as they press the button, Li Dongyi can get their real-time images and precise location, and can rescue them immediately.
Wuyu handed Mu Chen a box in his bag, which he had spent a whole night brewing to create a pill that could suppress the toxicity in the fish-man's body for a short time.
According to the agreed time, Mu Chen and the others did not wait for Lao Liu, but saw Xiao Liu walking towards them with a big bag on his back.
"Hello, my name is Liu Yu. Liu Yu nodded at everyone, but his eyes fell on Mu Chen.
"My dad is not here, I will take you into the sea. ”
Liu Yu didn't wait for everyone's reaction, he got on the boat directly and entered the cabin, and a few seconds later, the sound of the turbine under the ship came out.
Sailing at sea is extremely demanding on the helmsman, who needs to be familiar with the sea conditions, the distribution of underwater reefs, changes in the weather, and a keen sense of judgment to deal with various unexpected situations.
Obviously, Liu Yu is completely suitable to be the guide this time, he has followed his father to the sea to fish since he was a child, and he can already be called an experienced old sailor.
The ship was sailing at a constant speed on the sea, and Mu Chen, who was standing on the deck, looked at the sparkling sea below the deck, only to feel that under the seemingly calm sea, there was already an undercurrent surging.
To access the herringbone islands, you need to reach the outer nineteen islands, and finally pass through an extremely narrow body of water between the two islands, surrounded by reefs on both sides. It is conservatively estimated that Mu Chen and the others will get tomorrow when they arrive on Herringbone Island, which means that the three of them need to sleep at sea for one night.
"Well, let's have a drink, and we can sleep better at night. Liu Yu walked up to Mu Chen with two glasses of red wine and handed him a glass.
"Thank you. Mu Chen smiled and took the red wine, and took a sip of the slightly sweet red wine.
Liu Yu looked at the young man in front of him who looked about the same age as himself, and always felt that Mu Chen gave him an invisible pressure, perhaps because of the incident in the morning.
But with just Mu Chen and Duan Sheli, can they really rescue those who are missing? Liu Yu expressed doubts.
"Mu Chen, are you really sure that you can rescue those people? My dad said that there is a palace under the sea!" Liu Yu still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Mu Chen, who was looking at the sea, turned around and looked at Liu Yu and shook his head. Without saying anything, he turned his gaze to the sea again.
In fact, Mu Chen was not sure in his heart, he always felt that there was some indescribable dullness in his heart, as if something big had happened.
But he couldn't back down, because he went this time not only to rescue those who were captured, but more importantly, the Fragment of the Heavenly Underworld was on the Celestial Fragment Island, and perhaps the queen in the palace under the sea had such magical powers because of the fragment.
Liu Yu saw that Mu Chen was stunned, so he didn't say anything more and returned to the cabin.
The night was calm, and the three of Mu Chen successfully arrived at the outer edge of the herringbone island, and as long as they passed through a narrow road, they arrived at their destination.
But Liu Yu did not walk this waterline, he used to go to sea with his father to fish, and when he came to this vicinity, he directly bypassed, and never tried to pass through this narrow road.
Liu Yu took a deep breath and held the rudder, surrounded by rocky reefs, which was extremely challenging.
Mu Chen and Duan Sheli stood on both sides of Liu Yu respectively, quietly looking at the picture on the navigator, not daring to disturb Liu Yu who was operating.
Twenty minutes later, the boat successfully passed through the narrow passage, and the water in front of the three of them was really light purple, and it was sunken a few centimeters, which looked significantly different from the water behind them.
Liu Yu looked at the sea water in front of him with a surprised expression, this was a phenomenon he had never seen before, after so many years at sea, he couldn't think of any reason to explain this phenomenon for a while.
The boat successfully arrived at the first small island on herringbone island, Mu Chen and Duan Sheli jumped off the deck and went to the island, and when the two were about to say goodbye to Liu Yu, they saw Liu Yu jumping off with his bag on his back.
"What are you doing when you come down, didn't you say that you could send us back when you arrived?" asked Jie Sheli as he stepped forward.
Liu Yu walked straight forward a few steps, found a flat place to put down the bag and put it away, and replied: "I'm waiting for you here, anyway, I'll come to pick you up when the time comes, so I won't have trouble." ”
"No," Mu Chen also stepped forward to persuade, "I don't know what is on this island yet, I don't worry about leaving you here alone, it's too dangerous." ”
"Don't, if I go back alone in case I encounter any danger, I'll wait for you here, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Lo and behold, well-equipped. Liu Yu said and poured out the large and small bags of food in the bag, and even brought a barbecue grill!
Seeing Liu Yu insisting, Mu Chen didn't say anything more. Just quickly pinched a trick in his hand, and then, a paper crane appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Damn, you're a trickster!" Liu Yu looked at the paper crane in Mu Chen's hand with a look of surprise, but he didn't realize at the moment that the person in front of him was a cultivator who was two thousand years older than him, had strong spiritual power, and knew how to spell.
Mu Chen put the paper crane in Liu Yu's hand, "If you encounter danger, tear off the paper crane, or burn it, so that I will come to save you." ”
Although Liu Yu didn't believe it, he saw Mu Chen's serious look and obediently put the paper crane on his body.
After arranging Liu Yu, Mu Chen and Duan Sheli walked to the shore and called up two sets of diving equipment from the void rope.
Liu Yu saw two sets of diving equipment appear on the ground out of thin air, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really a trick." ”
After putting on the equipment, Mu Chen and Duan Sheli moved their bodies, "plopped", and jumped into the sea together.
According to Lao Liu, the palace is located at the bottom of the sea, and with two sets of diving equipment, Mu Chen and Duan Sheli will definitely not be able to get there smoothly, and even if they do, they will definitely be exhausted due to lack of oxygen.
So the spiritual power on the two of them formed a strong pulling force, pulling the two of them downstream, which saved a lot of effort.
All kinds of colorful fish under the water easily swayed their tails and swam past Mu Chen. But after diving for more than half an hour, Mu Chen found that the fish around him gradually decreased, and as soon as they touched this layer of water, they immediately swam away like crazy, as if they were very afraid of what was below.
After a few minutes of further diving, the water below turned out to be cloudy, making it difficult to see the direction.
Mu Chen and Duan Sheli had no choice but to grope downstream, until the two of them accidentally broke through a golden light shield, and the strong light passed, and the eyes of the two of them instantly became clear and bright.
What's even more amazing is that this light mask completely isolated the seawater, Mu Chen and Jiesheli took the oxygen mask and took a big gulp of fresh air.
Although the sea water is isolated and there is air, it can still make people float and swim as if they were in the water.
"Mu Chen, look at it!" Jie Sheli suddenly shouted at Mu Chen excitedly.
