The water carries white foam and roars as it swarms in.
The force of the water flow was so great that it even impacted the waterproof cover covering the settlement until it was deformed. Although it blocked the impact of the water flow, the force caused a strong wind in the settlement, making the already dilapidated houses even more messy.
The ground was still shaking, and the rushing water was getting faster and faster.
"What's going on?! Why did the ocean current suddenly turn in the opposite direction and be so strong? Luna, be careful to hold on to me!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Angel's ears. He raised his head and saw that Qili, wearing red dancing shoes, was descending with difficulty in the rapid water and swimming towards the settlement where he was.
Because there was a lot of foam in the water flow, Qili could not clearly see the specific situation below, so she could only follow Luna's guidance, stabilize her body and descend slowly.
When the rapids slowed down a bit, a bright flame exploded from the oil lamp in Qili's hand.
By the light of the fire, Qi Li vaguely saw the scene below.
She didn't see Angel, but she clearly saw the "man-made" buildings!
Under the trench, which is more than 8,000 meters away from the sea, there are actually artificial structures! This is very abnormal. Thinking of Luna's guidance, which means that Angel is below, she has some guesses in her mind.
Angel should not do anything useless. Maybe the buildings here are related to the secret of the Sea of Purification.
"He actually got one step ahead again." Qili was a little unwilling, but then she thought: "If she hadn't spent a lot of time looking for Angel's traces, maybe she would have discovered something fishy."
Thinking of this, Qili felt quite relieved.
"The water flow has slowed down, let's go down quickly. I want to see what clues he has found." Qili patted Luna, who had been tugging at the hem of her skirt.
Luna let out a "meow" and stretched out her pink flesh pad to give Qili a slap.
But an accident happened at this moment. The ground shook again, and sand and gravel were constantly immersed in the water on the cliff, blocking the view. At the same time, the water flow suddenly accelerated again, even more violently than before.
Because Luna put down a paw to clap her hands with Qili, she failed to hold her skirt in time, and as a result, the unstable figure was swept away by the rapid current.
Seeing that the rapids were about to drag Luna into the unknown darkness, Qili's heart skipped a beat. Luna was her closest partner and only friend. If there was an accident, she would never be able to forgive herself.
Because of the current, it was difficult to use magic to rescue her, so Qili was in a bit of a mess.
At this moment, a transparent palm stretched out from underneath.
Intermediate magic hand, level 1 sleight of hand, the control range increases to hundreds of meters. The farther away you are, the more difficult it is to control finely.
Just when Luna was about to fall into the deep dark whirlpool, Angel took action, successfully holding Luna in the hand of magic, and then dragged her down. Luna passed through the cover and fell into the messy settlement.
At the same time, Qili also landed smoothly.
Luna shook the water off her body, meowed a few thanks to Angel, and ran to Qili's feet.
Qili controlled the light in her hand, and the brightness increased again, like a small sun, illuminating the entire settlement.
With Qili's fire, Angel's light spell was basically useless. He extinguished the light spell and looked at Qili: "Why are you here again?"
Originally, Qili was ready to thank Angel for saving Luna, but when she heard the word "again" and Angel's tone, Qili's face turned dark instantly: "Do you think I want to come to you...
"
Before Qili could express her resentment, the ground shook continuously, and the two of them staggered a little without noticing.
After this interruption, Qili was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the topic:
"What's going on here?" Qili looked at Angel: "Could it be that we encountered an earthquake by chance, or was it that a submarine volcano... erupted?"
Angel shook his head: "I don't know, it's a bit weird."
This situation only occurred after he killed the strange creature. But if you kill a sea monster and then have such a big battle, it would be too childish. This sea beast is not like Jetbo.
Son of the sea. According to legend, if you kill the son of the ocean, the sea will be furious.
But if this is not the reason, it can only be classified as a coincidence.
After the earthquake was sensed several times, it finally stopped. The violent "buzzing" roar could no longer be heard in my ears, and the water flow began to gradually calm down.
Qili controlled the fire, left the cover, and explored nearly 500 meters to the source of the water flow. There was no abnormality. Five hundred meters was her limit, and she could only let the fire light come back.
After everything seemed to have calmed down, Qili finally had time to take stock of her surroundings.
"Where is this place, a shelter under the sea?" Qili felt the fresh air at the tip of her nose, then looked at the broken buildings around her, and finally her eyes were fixed on the pile of flesh and blood fragments in front of Angel.
Angel was still wondering what the previous shocks and rapids were. When he heard Qili's question, he replied smoothly: "I don't know where this place is. It may be an abandoned settlement of some underwater civilization."
Angel explained. He saw Qili looking at the fragments of the previous monster and said, "This guy was hiding in the dark just now and wanted to sneak attack me. I guess he is the enemy of this underwater civilization."
Angel said, and simply put the broken head of the sea beast back together.
It was exactly the same as the head of some kind of beast he found on the totem pole not long ago, except that this one was slightly larger. According to the habit of totem poles to intimidate enemies, this sea beast should be the frogskin enemy of this settlement.
Qili carefully looked at the head of the sea beast and couldn't see anything strange, so she simply went to observe the surrounding buildings alone.
Qili found some bite marks on the broken stones of some buildings.
Angel took the teeth of the sea beast's head and compared them. In terms of arrangement and depth, they were roughly consistent. It may have been this group of sea beasts that caused the settlement to be abandoned in the first place.
Qili also saw the mermaid totem in the largest house.
"Is this a mermaid?" Qili stared at the totem on the roof ceiling, frowning: "Could it be that the underwater civilization here is a mermaid tribe? But this is the first time I have seen such an ugly mermaid."
"This is just a totem, and the people who live here may not be mermaids." Angel thought for a moment, then used an illusion to show the appearance of the frogskin: "Have you ever seen this kind of creature?"
Qili looked curiously at the strange creature holding a harpoon in the illusion, and shook her head: "You mean, this kind of creature lives here?"
Angel nodded: "I have never encountered this kind of creature before entering the trench. They should have a considerable degree of civilization. The frogskin I encountered was as strong as a second-level apprentice. It started as soon as we met.
Attack me and I will kill him easily."
"Frogskin?" Qili looked over curiously.
"I chose the name." Angel looked proud. He thought he was very good at naming.
Qili curled her lips coldly and refused to comment.
After Qili carefully observed this creature, she thought: "There is no image of this creature in my memory, or even a similar one. Maybe it is the native race here? Or maybe it is the sky mechanical city from outside.
Migrated in.”
Qili also doesn't know the origin of Frogskin, which makes Frogskin even more mysterious.
Suddenly, Angel remembered the words he saw in the frog-skinned circular fortress. Maybe there was some record in them: "By the way, are you proficient in words?"
Qili turned around and looked at Angel up and down with an idiot's eyes: "You don't know how?"
Angel grinned dryly.
"That's right, you have only entered the wizarding world for less than two years, so it is normal for you not to be able to do so." Qili suddenly remembered this and suddenly realized: "I am proficient in writing and can also analyze languages. Some words with special abilities, such as ancient
Nengwen, Abyss Monawen, Winter Reading..."
Qili said a lot of strange terms, and then added: "I am familiar with all the above. These are the necessary skills for a wizard apprentice. If you want to go on adventures alone, you'd better learn these."
Facing a lot of words that Qili spat out, Angel felt for the first time that he was illiterate.
At least... I know Chinese characters. Angel thought weakly in his heart.
Angel held on to his shocked little heart and said with a smile: "I found some writings about frogskin, but I can't read them. Can you help me read them?"
It was rare for Angel to ask for help, so his posture, words and demeanor were all very low-key.
Although Qi Li was not interested in the secrets of this "frog-skinned" civilization, she guessed that it was related to the way out of the purification garden, so she naturally could not refuse.
When Angel was about to use illusion to simulate the words he saw at that time, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly made his hair stand on end.
His ears heard a sound breaking through the air.
"Get away!" Angel shouted.
While he was speaking, the mermaid totem on the roof was suddenly shattered, and a tentacle stretched out from the top and hit hard where they were standing.
A deep pit of nearly five meters appeared in the center of the house.
Because of Angel's timely reminder, Qili also avoided it. She immediately left the house with Angel. When they came outside, they were immediately stunned.
A large black octopus several hundred meters tall was clinging to the cliff, looking at them with eyes glowing with strange blue light.
"This is... the darkened version of King Mo Touch?" Angel looked at the big octopus with most of its body hidden in the darkness, and immediately remembered the King Mo Touch he saw not long ago. But King Mo Touch's skin
It's red, but this one is pure black.
"At least a peak apprentice, or even a half-step wizard-level monster!" Qili glanced at Luna, who was trembling, and immediately judged the strength of this octopus: "Invincible, run!"
Angel nodded. As long as they were not at wizard level and the pressure could not suppress them, they would have a chance to escape.
While they were talking, the big octopus seemed to sense their intentions and began to attack with its tentacles. As a large number of tentacles waved, the surrounding water became chaotic, accompanied by a huge buzzing sound.
Hearing the familiar sound, they looked at each other: "This guy was the one who created the situation just now."
Thinking of the rapid water flow and repeated earthquakes, they were even more certain that they were invincible and it was imperative to escape.
"Don't resist! I'll take you to run." Because he still needed Qili's help in translating the words, Angel dragged his body with him after leaving his body, grabbed Qili with him, and started running in the direction he came from.
Before Qi Li could react, her body was lifted into the air by a strange force. Then she rushed out of the frogskin settlement like a cannonball.
The moment they left, Qili turned back and glanced at the big octopus.
Suddenly, Qili's pupils shrank, and she seemed to see a human figure on the neck of the big octopus?!
