Chapter 7: The Giant Palace of the Deep Sea

Looking at the jellyfish army around me, I hurriedly continued to lay a small electric field around me, and then continued to swim along the stone steps, hoping to get out of this huge and boundless underwater cave as soon as possible.

At this time, I have weakened the electricity, unless there are tentacles to attack, the power will be increased, therefore, under the protection of the dark energy, the other dark knights also follow me under the protection of my electric field to continue to descend, compared to the tentacles of the jellyfish, my looming electric field has very little damage to the dark energy, so, the dozen or so dark knights of our team are obviously following my electric field to get a little light,

Since the descending stone steps were full of jellyfish tentacles, and there were members of the Dark Church blocking the way all the way down, I didn't care about the others, and I no longer considered Soromu's orders, I swam around the side of the stone steps to avoid the team members in front of me and continue to descend.

The other Dark Knights on our team basically had the same idea as me, and they all gathered around me and walked around the stone steps to avoid the others, and Soromu didn't seem to expect me to have such skills, and swam down the stone steps after me.

At this time, no one can take care of anyone, our team of dark knights can successfully escape the endless jellyfish tentacles under the protection of my electric field, everyone already feels very difficult, the first time they want to get out of this jellyfish cave as soon as possible, naturally they can't care about those others who are still entangled by jellyfish on the stone steps.

However, from this point of view, the members of the Dark Church still lack a certain tacit understanding and unity among themselves, perhaps there is not much contact between the various legions, and each squad is familiar with fighting its own battles, so in the face of sudden changes, there is no military style of not giving up and not abandoning.

After a while, we walked up the stone steps to the front, and along the way, we could see that some of the squads were working together to defend everyone by forming a common energy shield, and some of the mages summoned a black flame to scorch the tentacles of the jellyfish, which was also very effective.

Of course, there are also many lonely people and individual squads, who have been trapped by the tentacles and have no movement, and they don't know if they can escape from the layers of tentacles.

At this time, everyone had already recovered from the panic just now, and Soromu finally received the order from above and said to us again: "Everyone immediately move forward at full speed and quickly evacuate this cave, according to the reconnaissance team in front, there is another tunnel at the very bottom of the cave, which can avoid the entanglement of the jellyfish." ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately stepped up their downward speed, and no one wanted to stay here any longer, and when they heard that there was a road below, everyone flocked away, not knowing if there would be a large-scale stampede at the mouth of the tunnel at the bottom.

Those who dare to stand in the way of their brother will die. Along the way, as long as there are jellyfish tentacles rushing over, I will all discharge them all, anyway, I have the Lei Yuan Guben Dharma Protector, and the electricity released by the golden sword will not cause me any harm. I don't care about the other dark knights around me, if you like to follow me, if you don't want to follow, find another way.

In this way, I made my way down to the bottom of the giant cavern, which had been discovered by the scout team, after several teams of Dark Cultists who were still pestering with jellyfish. In fact, it was not discovered by the reconnaissance team, as long as you walked along the stone steps just now, you would naturally come here.

It seems that the diameter of the tunnel entrance is also about ten meters wide, and it continues to lead diagonally deep underground. , it's not over, when is it going to be?

After entering the tunnel and walking for a while, it was already far from the cave diagonally above the back, at this time, Soromu told everyone to stand by and wait for the people behind to arrive and check and count the number of people again.

We waited for almost an hour, during which time scattered people escaped, and at the end of the day, no one came down.

Judging from this situation, if there is no escape, I am afraid that most of them are hopeless to escape. Bresta, the elder of the Dark Church, asked the various ministries to count the number of people, and compared to the previous nearly 300 personnel, the jellyfish cave had caused a reduction of more than 50 people.

Since the oxygen on our backs can't afford to waste in vain, it's better to continue on the road as soon as possible. As soon as the personnel were counted, the team members in the rear were in a commotion. It turned out that from a distance, several giant jellyfish had been drilled into the entrance of the tunnel. It seems that they have completely eliminated those who have fallen behind in front of them.

Bresta seemed a little unhappy, he raised a black staff in his hand, only to see a black translucent light wave flashing in front of him, and the few jellyfish that had entered the tunnel to chase and kill were suddenly blocked by a transparent energy wall.

It seems that this Bresta is indeed unfathomable, as a member of the Elder Church of the Dark Church, he really has two brushes.

"All the team, keep going, please be vigilant all the way. "Soromu once again ordered us to descend. The entrance to the tunnel has been temporarily sealed off by Bresta, and it seems that the old guy will no longer care about the life or death of the dark cultists who have not escaped.

After this time, I deeply realized that the golden sword is still useful at the critical moment, my precious golden sword. I continued to think about it all the way down, damn it, I don't know how long it was, it felt like hours had passed, and I still hadn't finished it.

, it is estimated that it is really 10,000 meters below the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, walking and walking, Brother Ling accidentally remembered a foreign science fiction film "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" in the early eighties of the last century, in which there is a strange person who can communicate with marine creatures, if he is there, maybe with his three-inch golden tongue, maybe those jellyfish have already rested.

The further down you go, the temperature of the water slowly becomes hotter from freezing cold, I don't know if it is due to the geothermal relationship. After walking downstream for more than two hours, the water temperature has gradually risen from a few degrees to a dozen degrees.

At the same time, for some reason, there were some small spots of light on the walls of the tunnel, and those spots of light emitted some white fluorescence.

The whole team walked for a while, and as the water temperature rose to more than 20 degrees, the entire tunnel wall emitted a slight fluorescence, and it seemed that the glow of the cave wall should have a certain relationship with the increase in water temperature.

From my memory, there seem to be four types of stones that can emit light: fluorite, apatite, scheelite ore and diamond, of which diamond is diamond, but in this case, it certainly cannot be fluorite and diamond, because the luminescence of these two has nothing to do with the increase in temperature.

Most of these fluorescences are grayish-white, and some have other colorful glows as well. Suddenly, the whole tunnel became a passage of light, and this gray-white passage went straight down, which made us look extremely surprised.

But if the tunnel is still bottomless, we may be burned open in a few moments.

Just when we were worried about the rising water temperature, a new exit appeared in the tunnel ahead.

When I got out of the tunnel, I found that it was a huge underground space. Unlike the previous cave, this space is very strange, like an infinitely wide square that has never been seen before, surrounded by infinite depths that have no end in sight.

There are countless huge columns in the square, all of which are made of irregularly shaped boulders, and each column emits a white light, just like the fluorescence on the walls of the previous tunnel. These pillars stand tall like Optimus Pillars, reaching up to the top of the square, and I don't know how high the square is.

By the way, it feels like you've been in an infinite ancient palace, with rows of huge palace pillars and infinite spaces that don't see the top and the limit, making it easy to have the illusion that you've become an ant and have arrived in some dark Greek temple.

If you haven't been here, you really can't imagine that there is such an amazing and unfathomable place in the depths of the ground under the sea, countless huge stone pillars with a diameter of nearly 100 meters that glow with white light, and as far as the eye can see, countless white stone pillars are lined up in a straight line.

Our more than 200 people like ants were completely shocked, this unpredictable huge space could not be formed by the power of nature alone, but it seemed that each stone pillar was so primitive and natural, and there seemed to be no sign of artificial addition.

I don't know how many years this empty giant hall has been buried here, what is it waiting for? Being in it, in addition to feeling its incomparably small, there is also an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

At this moment, time seems to stand still, and people seem to have forgotten everything. Looking at this old and empty square hall, I felt a strange sense of sadness in my heart. It is similar to the melancholy feeling of "thinking of heaven and earth, alone and crying". Isn't it a bit of a B?

However, before I had time to sigh for a moment, I suddenly had the strange and incomprehensible intuition that there seemed to be one or many pairs of eyes looking at us overhead, and that we were trembling and not knowing what to do like the little toy people in their eyes.

Under Bresta's command, the whole team continued straight along a vague path on the ground. However, that feeling of being watched is getting stronger and stronger.

The water temperature was still very high, and it was already close to thirty degrees, and it was very strange that since entering the great hall of the square, I don't know if it was due to geomagnetism or something, our liaison was useless, and only a shrill beep was heard. I couldn't stand the cacophony of noise, so I had to turn off the contact completely.

When the contact device failed, the team leaders walked next to the team, contacted each other in the most basic sign language, and directed everyone forward.

We had followed this straight path for about half an hour, when in the middle of the square there was a very wide clearing, without a single pillar, and in the center of the clearing stood something extremely black and extremely high.

When I got closer, I saw that the hair on my head almost stood on end. In the center of the clearing stood a sculpture estimated to be several hundred meters high, clearly in the form of a human figure, holding a strangely shaped scimitar in its hand, and the part above the chest was too tall to gradually disappear into the darkness above.

At this moment, we all understand that since there is this giant sculpture standing here, this square and giant hall are not naturally formed. This giant hall may have been a place of some special significance in ancient times, and I guess it was similar to a place of gathering and worship. However, this hall is so big and the sculptures are so high, could it be that the people in the past were all giants?

Just as we all looked up at the huge statue, a lot of bright yellow light like small light bulbs suddenly flashed in the deep darkness overhead. I noticed that the lights seemed to be in pairs of two small bulbs, one on the left and one on the right and one flashing brightly yellow, and what was even more surprising was that the pair of small bulbs were still moving slowly in the darkness overhead.

I thought about it for a moment, and immediately realized that it wasn't a small light bulb at all, and that pair of bright yellow lights should be the ghost light from the eyes of some kind of creature, fuck, I don't think so.

Others also saw pairs of bright yellow light bulbs overhead, and some pointed at them. The instinct that I had been watched all this time had come true, and a feeling of unease rose in my heart.

Feeling that it was not good, I immediately covered my body with my innate vitality and clenched the golden sword to prepare for self-defense at any time.

It was too late, but it was too late, and suddenly there was a strong pressure above my head, the feeling of the water rushing down rapidly. Immediately afterward, I saw a giant snake open its big mouth and bite me straight down from the top of its head, with a flaming red fangs more than a meter long on each side of the big mouth, and the saliva in its mouth was sticky and silky, looking very disgusting.

The speed at which the giant snake rushed was very fast, and I immediately thought of it, and released an extremely strong lightning bolt from the Heavenly Thunder Golden Sword and slashed at the snake's mouth. After being struck by the bright white lightning, the huge mouth trembled twice above the head, and the whole snake stopped abruptly.

The sea serpent rushed vertically from top to bottom, intending to swallow me into its belly, but unexpectedly left me semi-paralyzed, numb and unable to move for a while.

I casually visually examined it, and the huge sea snake was nearly 100 meters long, with a body as thick as a large water tank, a diamond-shaped head, and a dark red body.

That's when I had time to see how the others around me were doing. Day, it's okay not to look at it, it's outrageous to look at.

The surrounding area was already in shambles, and the countless giant snakes that suddenly rushed down from the sky had already bitten many of the Dark Church members who were caught off guard and twisted into the air, and the others who had narrowly escaped the attack of the giant snake were also stunned on the spot.

In a very short period of time, the people who had just escaped from under the snake's mouth could not react more, and could only watch as the other team members were crushed and dragged in the air by the snake's mouth and dragged to the depths high above their heads.

Since the liaison was not usable, we were all unable to speak with oxygen masks, and for a while, the whole team was in danger and in chaos.

Of course, there are also losses in the sea snakes, including the sea snake that attacked me, and more than a dozen sea snakes have also been repelled or killed by others, these sea snakes are huge, judging from the sea snakes that have been killed, almost all of them are nearly 100 meters long, with two basin-sized eyes on the huge diamond-shaped head, and a red fang on each side of the snake's mouth, which looks extremely powerful.

Judging from the wave of attacks of the sea snakes just now, their speed in the water is extremely fast, and in the darkness above their heads, it seems to be their nest lurking, after the first wave of attacks, except for a few that were killed, all the giant snakes retreated, but it was a bit of a "blitzkrieg" meaning.

As I was thinking about it, the sea snake that had been electromedicated by me had slowly come back to its senses, and I only saw that its eyes blinked, as if it had recovered from vertigo. Seeing this, I immediately raised my golden sword and took all precautions.
