Zhou Sheng looked at the blue shadow in the center with fascination.
In this dark world, the only light
He was not sure whether the jade they just found in the rocks was the original body of the Dinghai Needle.
But judging from the shape of the jade, it does look like a needle.
But the problem was that even if the jade stone was the real Dinghai Needle, it would be difficult for him and the tombkeeper to take it away from this area.
While Zhou Sheng was thinking about it, the surrounding flood water had a slowly decreasing trend.
Soon, the water level had dropped to the level of the upper part of the island, giving Zhou Sheng and the tombkeepers a place to stay.
They soon discovered that the flooded soil did not appear muddy, but was as soft and dry as when Zhou Sheng first arrived.
In this way, the roots of those weird plants will naturally not soak and rot due to excessive water.
Zhou Sheng understood why plants can still survive normally despite frequent floods in this world.
It turns out that the function of Dinghai Shenzhen is not just to stabilize the sea water on the surface and prevent it from flooding, but to directly blur the characteristics of the water, turning it into a controllable independent individual, which can no longer react with the surrounding things, such as being soaked in water.
soil etc.
"How do you get this sea-fixing needle?" Zhou Sheng couldn't help but frown.
Now, he has seen the power of the Dinghai Divine Needle and knows its location.
Even if the halo that appears in front of you is just a projection, and the jade in the mountain is just a reflection, there is no doubt that the real Dinghai Needle must be in this world.
The tombkeeper was silent for a moment and then replied: "Xi soil."
Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up: "You mean, if Xi soil absorbs these floods, the true appearance of Dinghai Shenzhen can be revealed?"
"Yeah." The tombkeeper nodded.
Xi soil exists at the core of the mountains and seas. If Zhou Sheng's guess is correct, this strange place may also be related to the world of mountains and seas.
"Do you know a way to leave from here?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"I know there is a door that can connect this place to the Great Wall."
The answer of the tomb keeper was as expected by Zhou Sheng. The tomb keeper was not inexplicably attracted like Zhou Sheng, but more like he came actively looking for it. He must know more about the world than Zhou Sheng.
However, after the tombkeeper finished his answer, he stared at the water level with the surface of the island in a daze.
Zhou Sheng quickly understood his hesitation: "Could it be that the door is under the water?"
The tombkeeper nodded: "It's very close to where you just came in."
Zhou Sheng understood that since the "door" of this world is connected to the Great Wall, and Zhou Sheng happened to be near the Great Wall when he was dealing with the affairs of the Tianzun Association, then as a destined person, he was attracted by it and was attracted by it, and he could get a reasonable explanation.
Perhaps, all this is the Dinghai Shen Needle secretly guiding the tombkeeper and Zhou Sheng to discover it.
"It's just diving, it's not a big problem."
Zhou Sheng said, redeeming two diving suits from the system store.
The price of this set is not cheap, but Zhou Sheng’s current points burden is still very easy.
The two quickly put on diving suits and flippers, put on oxygen bottles and weight bags, and jumped into the water.
Although with the strength of Zhou Sheng and the tomb keeper, they can hold their breath and dive underwater for a long time.
But since humans have used their wisdom to invent such useful props, why do they need to put in extra effort?
With the help of diving props, ordinary people can go deep into the seabed. It is naturally easier for Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper to reach the original black gravel soil.
The purpose of the weight-bearing bags is to allow Zhou Sheng and the others to fall faster. After all, the top of the floating island is not close to the ground.
The deeper they go into the deep sea, the greater the seawater pressure they receive. Under the influence of buoyancy, it is difficult to reach the lowest point quickly if only relying on body weight.
During the dive, there was no communication between Zhou Sheng and the tombkeeper.
The tombkeeper just focused on leading the way, while Zhou Sheng followed closely beside him. The coldness of the seawater was conveyed to the two of them through the diving suits.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but think that in this dark underwater world, if there was no light and no companions, it would definitely put great pressure on his heart.
Zhou Sheng has the ability of night vision, and he can clearly see the figure of the tombkeeper even in the dark sea. But what state the tombkeeper is in at this time, Zhou Sheng can't help but be a little curious.
He took two steps forward and looked at the tombkeeper. He saw that the tombkeeper had his eyes closed and his face still showed no expression. He was just concentrating on identifying the direction.
Judging from the fact that his eyes were closed, his vision must have been greatly restricted in this deep sea. However, in addition to the normal five senses, the gravekeeper should have other means of perceiving the surroundings that are unique to him.
So after feeling Zhou Sheng's movements, he turned his head slightly, showing a puzzled expression, as if he was asking Zhou Sheng what happened.
Zhou Sheng quickly bowed his hands, indicating that he was fine, and asked the tombkeeper to continue diving.
Under this kind of water, although the oxygen masks they wear can completely isolate the sea water, their mouths can make appropriate sounds.
But speaking means that the oxygen in the oxygen bottle will be consumed at an extremely fast rate. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the two of them will naturally not choose to communicate vocally.
The tombkeeper tilted his head in confusion, and then continued to dive.
Not long after, their hands finally touched the strange black sand.
The gravekeeper groped forward close to the ground, kicking his legs and using his hands to help him slide forward.
Zhou Sheng noticed that in the sea water, there were a few wisps of bright red seeping out from the tombkeeper's hands.
It seems that the tombkeeper once again cut his palm and covered it with black gravel, so that these quicksand-shaped things did not move rashly.
Zhou Sheng followed the tombkeeper and naturally did not fall into the sand again.
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but think that since the entrance was so close to the quicksand, it would be impossible for anyone who came in to escape the quicksand.
If they were not the ones who entered this place, but someone else entered by mistake, their lives would be in danger.
However, Zhou Sheng did not know that unless they had the aura of inheritance in their bodies, it would be impossible to pass through the "door" beside the Great Wall, let alone enter the world left by Dayu.
The gravekeeper walked along the seemingly endless black sand. After about thirty meters, he finally stopped.
He controlled his body to stand upright in the water, and then gently bumped his forehead forward, creating a circle of ripples.
Zhou Sheng didn't feel anything. There was still a piece of cold sea water in front of him, but the figure of the tomb guard suddenly disappeared from the place!
So, Zhou Sheng imitated the tombkeeper's posture and pressed his forehead forward. Sure enough, there seemed to be a warm blanket in front of him.
The touch is very soft, which is completely different from the feeling of cold sea water.
