At this time, Du Fei and others were gradually approaching the target. According to the information provided by Basuo, the gate to the underworld he mentioned was already within easy reach.
But to everyone's surprise, the nearby sea area was not as scary and terrifying as everyone imagined, but was filled with soft light everywhere.
"Sir! We have arrived at the place Mr. Basso said, but we don't see anything strange!?" The old turtle said as he glanced at Basso with a suspicious look.
Basuo noticed it very sensitively. He sneered and said, "Do you think I need to lie to you? My brother's life and the spring water I want are in your hands. Do you think I will have trouble with myself?"
"Mr. Basso!" Du Fei said with a stern face: "We followed your guidance and didn't make any mistakes. Why is there nothing?"
Basuo's brows furrowed, his skinny fingers tightly grasped the necklace, and he muttered something unknown...
Tomson came up and whispered to the old turtle: "In my opinion, this old guy is a liar! He deliberately led us here to die! Maybe their warships have been ambushed around!"
"This is impossible! But you have to pay attention to him. Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do things like setting a fire on the boat and igniting explosives!" The old turtle secretly glanced at the stern-faced man with his eyes.
Du Fei said: "My lord seems to trust his words. Let's not alert him! Wait until his true colors are revealed before taking him down!"
"Don't worry!" Tang Chen said with a slight smile: "I will keep a close eye on him!"
Du Fei was also very anxious at this time. He and everyone else focused their attention on Basuo, who had his eyes closed.
At this moment, Basuo suddenly opened his eyes and sighed: "It's so amazing! I know where the spring is! It turns out to be at the bottom of the sea!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed immediately after hearing this. After laughing a few times, the old turtle suddenly straightened his face and said to Du Fei: "Sir! This guy is obviously a liar! Let me chop him with a knife!"
"Wait!" Du Fei raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "You mean, the holy spring in the sea we are looking for is in the depths of the sea? Then let me ask you, if the fountain on the sea can still appear, because
It is most likely erupted from an island or a reef, but how can you tell where the fountain is at the bottom of the sea? Can you tell if seawater and spring water are mixed together?"
"I don't know what to say. What I saw was indeed at the bottom of the sea! Those fish were swimming above the springs, and the water in the bottom of the sea seemed to have been drained out!" Basuo was anxious, and he turned red.
Face, but even he himself felt that what he said was ridiculous.
"Sir! Do we still want to believe this nonsense?" The old turtle listened to him with anger at first, but after hearing this, he finally couldn't help it: "We have been tricked by him! Do you understand?! We
He tricked me! Let me cut this filthy embryo into pieces and throw it into the sea!"
"Wait a minute!" Du Fei held down the furious old turtle: "He's right! The spring water is indeed down there!"
After saying that, he pointed to the sea, and everyone looked towards the light blue sea. Through the sea water, it was obvious that the depths of the sea were emitting a strange light, as if half of the Indian Ocean was glowing red.
"What... is this?" Everyone looked at this scene in stunned silence, unable to say a word.
Du Fei looked at the depths of the shimmering red sea and said to his men with a stern face: "Hurry and prepare the strongest rope! Wrap the musket in oil paper! We are going to see the gate of the underworld!"
He then turned around and said to the old turtle: "You take the rest of the people and stay on the boat. Remember, if we don't come for a long time..."
"Sir! Why do you want to go out in person? I can just lead the team!" The old turtle grabbed the rope and shouted: "Although my old bones are no longer easy to use, I am not afraid of anything from the underworld!
Let me lead the team!"
"No, this is my business. I can't let you take risks for me!" Du Fei said to Nangong Feiyun: "Don't go either! You came to learn from me, and I can't let you die here.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to your family!”
"But! Sir!" Nangong Feiyun said excitedly: "Sufferings like this are the ones that test one's will the most! I must not miss this important lesson!"
"You are wrong," Du Fei's tone suddenly became very sad: "I thought I was qualified to teach you, but when Zhang Xiong died, I realized that one person's power cannot change everything, and nothing is perfect.
When people appear, when you feel that you are the enemy of the world and can despise everything, that is when you will fall into trouble."
After saying that, he fiercely pushed Nangong Feiyun aside: "You still have a lot of things to do, you can't take this risk!"
"Sir, let's go!" Zhang Zhi and Mo Nu were already ready to go. They also brought twenty soldiers with rich experience in underwater combat with them.
These people who are not afraid of death carefully climb the rope and crawl towards the bottom of the sea little by little.
At first, everyone felt that the sea water was very hot, but the temperature of the water began to become cooler as they got closer to the bottom of the sea. After a while, they saw a line of red light. There was no sea water under the red light mask.
All are empty.
Du Fei, Mo Nu and Zhang Zhi exchanged glances with each other. Their ropes had passed through the light shield and led all the way to the bottom of the sea.
Why can sea water pass through the light shield, but ropes and our bodies can? Du Fei and everyone are puzzled. If this light shield is a solid shield generated by some kind of energy, it can support such a weight.
The sea water must be quite strong, and nothing can break or pass through it.
At this time, Du Fei discovered that the light mask seemed to be drifting slowly, and the hanging rope seemed to be swinging back and forth...
He immediately understood: this so-called light shield is not an energy body, nor is it holding up the sea water, but an air wave emitted by some mysterious force on the seabed. Although this air wave does not look powerful, it is
Slowly and firmly, it keeps pushing the sea water upward. It is believed that it is not a matter of a day or two to reach such a height. It may be a miracle formed over millions of years. It is like water dripping through a stone.
Normally, it's just that the power here is exactly the opposite of that in the land world.
Sure enough, when everyone walked through the area near the light mask with fear, they clearly felt a force that lifted them up slightly. But once they passed through the light mask, the speed of everyone's fall suddenly began to accelerate, and some
The sailors did not adapt to the weight for a while and almost fell off the rope. Fortunately, they were all strong young men and grabbed the rope with their strong arms. Although their hands were scratched, they finally managed to keep it.
Saved a life.
"Sir, are we at the bottom of the sea now?" Zhang Zhi stood on the soft bottom of the sea in horror and said, "It really seems like a dream! I didn't expect there to be such a weird place here!"
Du Fei looked at the sand under his feet. He was convinced that the sand under his feet was indeed the bottom of the sea a long time ago, but the sand had now become very soft and dry, and there seemed to be no moisture in it.
"Sir! Look over there!" Zhang Zhi's eyes suddenly became dazed and he pointed his finger into the distance.
Du Fei followed his hand and saw a crystal clear spring water spraying toward the sea in the distance, as if its power was holding up the entire seabed.
Du Fei quickly whistled and signaled everyone to head towards the spring! He was walking on the soft soil while thinking hard: "Didn't you say that the Gate of the Underworld is nearby? Why can't you see the shadow?"
"Ah!" Just a scream was heard! One of Du Fei's men suddenly fell down! The companion beside him tried to pull him down, but he was also pulled down.
Du Fei was about to hold the rope to save people, but after taking a few steps, he felt his feet suddenly loosen! He yelled in his heart: "No!" But by this time it was too late, one of his feet was already deep inside.
It sank deeply!
Fortunately, Mo Nu next to him held him tightly with a big hand, so he did not sink.
Du Fei was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. At this time, there were only thirteen or four men left around him, and the rest fell in accidentally.
In order that no one would fall into those quicksand traps, Du Fei ordered everyone to tie them together with ropes and walk forward with difficulty. Although some people accidentally slipped into the pits, they were immediately pulled up by their tied companions.
Everyone in the group walked and stopped, not noticing the pairs of cold eyes standing up in the sand.
"Wait!" Du Fei suddenly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop. He raised his ears as if he was listening to something. Everyone held their breath and also raised their ears.
There seemed to be waves of mourning coming from the sand, as if those who had fallen deep into the sand were calling for help.
"Sir!? Are those people not dead yet?" Zhang Zhi's eyes widened: "Is it possible?"
"Under the sand is the legendary Gate of the Underworld." Du Fei also understood: "The reason why it is called the Gate of the Underworld is because its location is lower than the deepest place in the world. In any religion, this is the Gate of the Underworld."
Any extreme place will be regarded as the source of evil."
"Then what should we do now? Are those people lying on the ground dead or alive?" Zhang Zhi, who had always been calm, also panicked at this time: "Could it be that there is another world deep under the sea?"
