The sun shines through the thick clouds onto the dark red ocean.
In the sea at this moment, the tsunami wave has calmed down, and the whale controls more than a dozen skeleton whales, cruising in formation on the sea.
Hua Hua——
The water is rippling.
The remaining wave-waving monsters waved their huge tail fins and approached fearlessly.
The huge barb bone spurs glowing with cold light were hooked to the bottom of the blue-gray fish tail, and they were like anchors and were heading towards the queue of whales.
Because most of the Wave Wave demons were wiped out in the Kamiya River's fish bombing operation, the remaining ones no longer pose much of a threat to Kamiya's side.
It can be dealt with head on.
The skeleton whales are connected to each other, forming a "bone land" floating on the water.
Kamiya and the Aragami worked together to defend themselves against the Wave Wave Demons that were attacking from all directions. Even Inugami and Mari, whose combat effectiveness was greatly reduced after entering the water, would have no problem standing on the land of bones to carry out a defensive counterattack.
boom!
Pulling the trigger of [Banshee·Change], the cold metal fit tightly against the fingertips.
The iron pellets pierced the humid air and made a sharp whistle. The fire light erupted from the muzzle of the gun, drawing a fiery and frightening arc, and then quickly burst into a vortex of purple lightning and white light, directly hitting a wave-loving demon.
sink.
While killing one of them, another wave-waking demon swung its tail hook and rushed up to the phalanx of the whales. The shark-like elite monster had its mouth wide open, its body was huge, its muscles were brimming with wildness and wildness in its eyes.
Brutal.
Kamiyakawa did not dodge or evade, put away the banshee, and his body was stable and flexible.
When the Fulang Demon pounced, he quickly bent down and waved Yiwen with all his strength. In an instant, the blade of Minghuang Yanglei flew up from below, cutting out an elegant yet ferocious arc.
The sword came into contact with the Fulang Demon's abdomen, making a dull and violent tearing sound. The sharp blade easily penetrated the hard flesh.
Blood spurted out, and the wave-waving demon let out a painful howl. Its body stagnated for a moment, and then Kamiya knocked it down heavily on the back of the whale.
Buzzing.
The sword was withdrawn from Fulang Yao's abdomen.
Kamiya Xuezhen swung the knife, and drew Ichimonji on the haori fabric of his left hand, wiping away the remaining blood and seawater.
The gorgeous Jinhaori was stained with blood, stained with the smell of blood and a touch of red, making it even more magical.
Although it will be hard to clean the feathers when you go home later, it is very convenient to wipe the blood and the action is very cool!
There were only a dozen or so Wave Wave Demons on the sea. The first wave of attacks on the skeleton whales was blocked, and the second wave of attacks was even more disastrous.
Kamiyagawa's side successfully dealt with these remaining defeated generals with zero battle losses.
"There may be one or two fish that slipped through the water, but they should be out of the way."
Kamiya called the shikigami back to him and observed the situation of the ocean for a while.
The demonic aura of the Wave-Flowing Demon is no longer obvious here, but the strange and extraordinary aura permeating the ocean is still there.
He put away the weapon and took out the [Kabuki Puppet] from the [Mirage Bag].
Hold the puppet in your hand slightly.
Transparent threads began to form on the puppet's head, limbs, and torso.
Six items in total.
The six filaments stretched longer and longer, extending to the back of the whale.
Where the threads touched, a human figure slowly formed and stood up.
This human figure was very blurry at first, then gradually began to grow larger and clearer, and finally became as high as the Kamiya River.
With white powder on his face, sword-shaped eyebrows and star-shaped eyes, he looks like a samurai in a kabuki performance, resembling a Kusamaro.
The moment the kabuki puppet takes shape, Kamiyagawa shares its "sensory consciousness", which is in parallel with his own consciousness, as if there is an operating picture of a "drone" or other prop in his mind.
"After delaying for so many days, I finally have a chance to go down and have a look. What's down there?"
Kamiyagawa sat down on the back of the whale and controlled the "Crazy Death Man" to jump into the sea.
Golems are inherently dead and have no need for breathing, so it is just right for them to explore in the sea.
…
The puppet, pulled by the invisible silk thread, was wrapped in the salty and cold sea water, diving deeper and deeper. The sound of waves on the water gradually faded away, and the light passed through the water through the ripples, reflecting a dark and pale light.
.
The water is desolate, with only silent and solemn rocks and gravel covering the bottom of the sea, washed away by the long years and becoming lifeless and dark.
The puppets in the deep sea were exploring around and the whales on the sea were moving and diving together. It took about forty minutes for Kamiyagawa to find the goal of this trip——
It was an island sunk under the water.
In fact, it has been integrated with the rocks on the seabed and is difficult to distinguish.
But there are the remains of a building here, and you can vaguely see the underwater ruins of what was once a shrine.
Scattered with broken stone pillars and collapsed walls, this shrine should have been glorious and noble. But now the remaining architectural structure is pale and fragile, with broken statues and some decayed decorations half-buried in the surrounding sand and stone.
, being washed by the undercurrent of the deep sea, and will disappear in the ruthless waves at any time.
"The mermaid said that there used to be a shrine on Taqito Island, and it was probably here."
Kamiya used the puppet's body perception to observe the surroundings, wandered around the ruins of the shrine for a while, and found a narrow cave formed by the collapse of the building.
An adult's body cannot fit through this passage.
However, kabuki puppets can change their body shape, and the smallest shape can become about the same size as a seven or eight-year-old child.
Taking advantage of his changed body shape, Kamiya successfully squeezed into the passage.
After groping for dozens of meters in the dark passage, the water level around him dropped, and the kabuki puppet emerged from the water.
It seems that an air cavity area on the sea floor has been formed here, and there is air in the sealed environment. Of course, this is the case, or it may be because of the influence of other residual forces in the palace.
The puppet climbed out of the water and stood on the damp slate tiles of the shrine.
We should now have reached the depths of the collapsed shrine building.
"The internal structure of this shrine does not seem to be too seriously damaged. The area inside is surprisingly large, and it seems to be of great value for exploration. Moreover, the extraordinary aura that I have always felt is much stronger here.
Maybe this shrine is the source of that strange aura."
Kamiya didn't hesitate, controlled the puppet and shook off the water stains on his gorgeous clothes, and walked forward.
There are many murals carved on the surrounding walls, but the colors have long faded and become mottled. After observing for a while, the pictures are incomplete and obscure, and I don't know what they point to.
However, we can see that the ocean and the moon appear frequently in the murals.
The moon in it is particularly eye-catching.
Even in many murals, the image of the moon clearly covers the ocean, and is depicted so realistically and otherworldly.
The moon hangs in the center of the mural, a round and bright ball of light, emitting a soft and warm light, illuminating the entire scene. The surface of the moon is painted lifelike, as if you can feel the soft texture and cool breath. Delicate
The smooth lines outline the mountains and tear-like textures on the moon, which are three-dimensional and realistic.
When you carefully observe the moon on the mural, you will feel a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere permeating it.
[...Sugumu Zun neglected to manage Canghai Plains. During this period, Haiyuan was long-term managed by his sister Yoshihara Tsukiyomi Zun... The three goddesses of Zongxiang were born to take over the authority of Canghai Plains and were protected by Tsukiyomi Zun...
…]
Kamiya stood in front of a certain mural for a long time and vaguely made out these words.
Sumamon is also the nickname of Susano-o.
Of course Canghaiyuan refers to the country of the sea.
According to Kamiyagawa's understanding, after Susano'o was assigned to govern the Sea Kingdom by his father Izanagi, he missed his late mother and was heartbroken, so he delayed taking up the post. This was indeed "negligence in management".
The "Food of the Night" mentioned in the mural's inscription refers to another divine kingdom, the "Land of Night."
If the information on this mural is correct, during the period when Susano-o was not managing the sea, his second sister, the Tsukiyomi no Mikoto on the Yonoshugahara, that is, the "Tsukiyomi Lord" should be managing it on his behalf.
