Chapter 462: Merman
After turning this corner, there was a curve not far ahead. In just a few minutes, I didn’t know how many turns I had made. At the beginning, I could barely do it.
I remember the direction, but as I continued to go deeper, I gradually lost my judgment on the direction, and I could only swim forward slowly along the passage.
The reason why we swam forward slowly was because the water pressure was too high. It was like we were swimming in a sticky mess, and every move forward required a lot of energy.
At this moment, someone pulled my clothes. The person behind me was Yuan Qingguang. He must have pulled my clothes for something, so I quickly stopped.
The hole was relatively narrow, so I couldn't turn my head, so I could only try my best to look back.
Yuan Qingguang gestured with me something with his hands, and pointed behind himself. Judging from the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be saying that something was following us.
I looked behind him and didn't see anything. I thought Yuan Qingguang was too nervous and had an illusion. I told Yuan Qingguang that there was nothing behind him and he should continue moving forward.
Just when I felt exhausted, my whole body suddenly felt light, and the top of my head felt like a huge boulder had been lifted off, and the water pressure disappeared.
Only then did I realize that it was not that the water pressure had disappeared, but that there was no water around us, and my feet were firmly standing on the rocks.
It was really uncomfortable to have the oxygen mask on my head. I tried to take off the oxygen mask. I was surprised and felt happy that there was still oxygen here.
Yuan Qingguang came closely behind. He saw me taking off the oxygen mask, and he also took off the one on his own head.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be oxygen in this place." Yuan Qingguang shouted excitedly.
Standing there, I stared straight at the place where we came from. Yuan Qingguang saw that I didn't speak and also looked over.
"Hey, this is too strange." As he spoke, he put his foot out, and then suddenly took it back.
The reason why Yuan Qingguang said this place is strange is because there seems to be a barrier where we are. This barrier intercepts the sea water. At the junction of the sea water and the air, it is like a water gate. Under the light, it looks sparkling.
, exceptionally beautiful.
"It's a little strange, I don't understand it either." I shook my head.
"Brother, do you think this place is so weird? Could there be any ancient beasts living here?" Yuan Qingguang said with a pair of small eyes flashing.
I nodded, and what he said was not impossible. In the ancient books of Huilongguan, I had actually seen legends about strange beasts in the sea, but I didn't take them seriously at the time, I just glanced at them.
"Let's be careful. By the way, what happened to you just now? What did you find?" I asked.
Yuan Qingguang rubbed his head and said, "I just felt like something was following me behind me. I looked back several times and saw nothing. Maybe I was too nervous and felt something was wrong."
"Well, it may be, but we still have to be careful. After all, it's not as good as land here." I said.
The two people quickly took off their diving equipment and walked forward along the passage. Not long after walking, I suddenly felt as if something was following us behind us. I looked back suddenly,
An afterimage suddenly disappeared from us.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously. I must have seen correctly just now. There was indeed something following us.
Yuan Qingguang also felt something strange and looked around, "I said something was following us."
I frowned directly. The place we just came over was full of walls, and the thing disappeared in a flash. Could it be that he knew the invisibility technique, or that he was just a person, a person who knew the technique.
"Could it be that kid from Yanzhou? He's back again and following us quietly." Yuan Qingguang said.
I shook my head, "It shouldn't be that kid. His cultivation level is not that high. The person following us is either not a very high cultivation level person, or he is not a human being at all."
"If it's not a human being, what could it be?" Yuan Qingguang said with eyes wide open.
"Didn't you say so, strange beast?" I glanced behind me and said, "Let's go forward."
As I walked forward, I peeked behind me from the corner of my eye from time to time. Suddenly, I saw a ferocious-looking thing with scales on its face appearing behind us.
This time I didn't turn around, and I suddenly shot out a sword energy from my shoulder with two fingers. But what I didn't expect was that the speed of that thing was actually very fast. It actually dodged and disappeared again.
Already.
"Brother, what should we do? That thing has been following us. What do you think he wants to do?" Yuan Qingguang said worriedly.
I also have a vague sense of fear in my heart. I am in this strange environment, and there are people who don’t know what it is following me. No matter who I am, I will have an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart. This really has nothing to do with my ability.
of.
The two of us went back to back this time. Since the thing didn't want me to see him, one of us was looking in front and the other was looking at the back. I didn't believe that we couldn't see his face when the thing came out.
However, walking forward like this was much slower, but fortunately the thing didn't appear again.
Nearly half an hour later, we walked out of the passage, and a magnificent and majestic underground space suddenly appeared in front of us.
The two people were immediately shocked by what they saw in front of them, because it was so big here. Looking around, it can be said that you can't see the end. When we were even more surprised, there was a tree standing on the gravel-covered rocks.
A towering giant pillar reaching the sky. Those huge pillars are like sharp swords inserted directly into the dome.
At this moment, the two of us couldn't care less about the person following us, and started to shuttle among the pillars. Yuan Qingguang would reach out to touch the pillars from time to time.
"I didn't expect there was such a place in the sea. It's so amazing." Yuan Qingguang said in surprise.
Just as the two of them were about to walk forward, I suddenly felt a cold wind behind me. I immediately realized that someone was trying to attack me, and my body flew out.
The thing punched it empty and screamed.
I looked back and was shocked. Standing behind us was a man over two meters tall, but his face had something similar to fish scales.
The half-human, half-fish thing stared at us for a while, then quickly disappeared with a sway of its body.
"What is that thing?" Yuan Qingguang frowned and said, "It looks like a human, but it has a fish face. It can't be a fish monster."
I didn't say anything, and I wasn't sure what that thing was at this moment.
"Look, there is a picture here." Yuan Qingguang pointed to a pillar in front and said.
I raised my eyes and looked over, and sure enough, there was a half-human, half-monster animal depicted there. His upper body was a human body, and his lower body was a fish body.
"Mermaid?" Yuan Qingguang said, touching his chin.
"What a mermaid, this is a mermaid." I remember seeing an introduction about the mermaid in ancient books. "The mermaid is a mysterious creature with a fish tail and a human body in myths and legends. There are special records about them in ancient books.
"There are sharks in the water of the South China Sea. They live in the water like fish. They do not waste time weaving, and their eyes can weep." This means that there are sharks in the water of the South China Sea. They live like fish in the water and never give up the work of weaving. When they cry,
I can cry out pearls."
"You are talking about the South China Sea, but this is the East China Sea." Yuan Qingguang said, blinking his eyes.
When Yuan Qingguang said this, I also thought about this question. Could it be that some of the sharks from the South China Sea came to the East China Sea? So why did they abandon the place where they once lived and go to this strange sea?
Yuan Qingguang and I were almost exhausted from the analysis, but we couldn't analyze it. We decided to keep walking forward to see if we could find anything else.
The two people continued to walk forward, this time they did not go very far. Yuan Qingguang pointed forward and said, "Brother, look quickly, there seems to be someone there."
I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, a person appeared in front of me. It was a man. The man's hair was scattered behind his head, and he had something like a shell around his neck. He stared at us with his eyes.
When I looked down, I was shocked because the lower body of the man was not feet, but a fish tail.
"The sharks are really sharks." Yuan Qingguang said.
I didn't expect to actually see a shark in this place. The shark looked at us with a surprised look on his face.
The two sides just looked at each other, and no one moved for a while.
Soon, the shark swung its tail and left quickly. Yuan Qingguang and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
This place should be where the sharks live. We are now considered foreign invaders. It would be inappropriate to go there so hastily.
We stood there for about ten minutes, and dozens of shadows flashed out from the stone pillars.
"Are you two from above?" A mermaid with the face of an old man stood in front of us and said.
"Can sharks still speak human language?" Yuan Qingguang asked in surprise.
I was also very surprised. I didn't expect the sharks to actually speak human language. I was still thinking about how to communicate with them after a while.
"We two brothers are from Penglai Mountain." I said, cupping my fists.
The old man nodded, "I wonder why you two came to my place?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Today, there was a strange phenomenon in Penglai Mountain. There was a huge whirlpool in the sea. The head of the Penglai family specially asked my two brothers to come over to investigate.
The old man frowned and said, "There is indeed a vision in the sea, but I didn't expect it to affect the place above. Since the two of you were sent by the head of the Penglai Mountain family, they should be quite capable. I have a merciless request."
"Old man, if you have anything to say, just tell me." The old man opposite seemed to know about the vision. The vision happened in the water. I was also very curious about the vision. Now the old man said there is
You're welcome, of course I won't miss it.
The old man said, "My family of sharks moved here from the South China Sea and have lived here for thousands of years. This sea has always been peaceful and peaceful. But recently, for some unknown reason, some of the sharks often get sick, and they have inexplicable illnesses.
The medicine and stone are useless. I would like to ask you two to help me with the treatment. I, the shark clan, would be very grateful."
After the old man finished speaking, he bowed directly to the ground.
Hearing what he said, I felt a little nervous. Yuan Qingguang touched me on the side and whispered, "Are those sick sharks possessed by evil spirits?"
His thoughts are almost the same as mine, and I think the same thing in my heart. People on land have ghosts and spirits. These sharks live on the bottom of the sea. Are there any spirits or ghosts here? Let’s talk about spirits.
, these sharks should be regarded as a kind of spirits in a certain sense.
I thought for a while, since I just said to help, we can't retreat now, and we still want to have a good time in this place, so naturally we can't retreat.
I nodded, "Old man, it's okay to go and have a look, but whether it can be cured depends on the situation. I can only say that we will do our best."
After all, there are two different worlds here and above, so I don’t dare to be too sure.
The old man said, "Please come with me, two distinguished guests."
