Chapter 99: You have to be a little mentally prepared
Su Xiao penetrated the light film at the door, and the moment before his body touched the sea water, the Poseidon statue hung on his waist, about 10 centimeters high, emitted a bright white light, clinging to the surface of Su Xiao's body, absorbing the surrounding sea water.
Separation, to be precise, resolves sea pressure through continuous resonance.
Not touching the sea water will naturally isolate you from the invasion of "Psychic Beast Transformation" and "Wrath of the Sea".
In addition to these, this bright white shimmer can also absorb oxygen from the surrounding seawater. Such comprehensive protection must have taken a long time of research and development to achieve this.
Su Xiao was walking on the bottom of the sea. She could feel a sense of resistance as she moved forward, but this feeling was not strong. It was the gain effect from [Deep Sea Sleep (Immortal Level·Pendant)].
Coming to a nearby wooden house, Su Xiao saw Bubu Wang and Baha. They each had a Poseidon statue. They were both found in this room. They had sacrificed soul coins and each received 2 hours.
of underwater shelter time.
As soon as I entered this world, I spent 420 soul coins.
"Boss, where will we go next?"
Baha hung the Poseidon statue on his body and wanted to try the feeling of flying in the water.
"There is no target for now, mainly exploration."
Su Xiao looked into the distance. The bottom of the sea was not completely dark. There were many luminous stones scattered around. In the distance, there were many lights gathering there. It looked like a gathering place on the bottom of the sea.
Taking the Bubo Wang and Baha, Su Xiao walked in the direction of the light source. After traveling on the seabed for more than ten minutes, he saw clearly where the light source came from. It was a steep wall with dozens of large luminous stones on it.
It is deliberately attracting people here.
Su Xiao started to swim upstream and swam a hundred meters high. The steep wall reached the top. On top of it was an inverted semicircular light film. He tried to put his hand into the light film. The resistance was so great that he could forcefully penetrate it.
In the past, it would cause very violent energy fluctuations.
Su Xiao began to sink, carrying the Poseidon Statue on her body. This thing is particularly useful. It can change its own gravity and buoyancy under the sea by adjusting the frequency of resonance.
Back at the bottom of the sea, Su Xiao walked along the hundred-meter-high wall. After walking far away, he saw a city gate-like entrance in front of him. The entrance was about 7 meters high and 5 meters wide. A layer of light film blocked the sea water.
Let the seawater penetrate into the wall.
Several tall humanoid creatures with gills on both sides of their necks and behind their ears were guarding the place. Their skin was dark white, without scales, and their membranes were very thick, making them look particularly tough.
This kind of half-fish people, no, calling them Sea Clan is actually more appropriate. The four Sea Clan stood there, looking at Su Xiao not warily, but with a look of joy, which they only have when they see money.
Eyes of joy.
Seeing this, Su Xiao guessed the general situation. He walked along a gravel road, and before the several sea tribesmen guarding the gate could speak, he asked:
"Are you lacking a doctor here? I am a doctor passing by. I am good at treating physical injuries or prolonging the outbreak of beast transformation. I also have a certain understanding of the curse of the deep sea. I can alleviate it, but I cannot cure it."
Su Xiao was not bragging when he said this. In the secret room, he not only gained the blood of the painter, but also the spiritual sigil that increased his sanity by an additional 200 points.
The doctor who helped the old knight become a seven-stage lycanthrope and transformed the lamp sister knew that his time was short, so he devoted his life to treating potential body injuries, delaying the onset of lycanthropy, and the curse of the deep sea, also known as "the sea."
The methods of delaying "the resentment and anger" are all recorded in books.
As an alchemist, Su Xiao believes that the knowledge in these books is more precious than the painter's blood and soul talismans. Knowledge is power, and knowledge is wealth.
Five minutes later, four big-bodied sea people with an average height of more than 2.5 meters surrounded Su Xiao and escorted them towards the center of the Undersea City. The expressions of the four sea people were somewhat flattering and they were painting.
This is a world that can heal the hidden wounds in the body, and suppress the outbreak of "Psychic Beast Transformation" and "Wrath of the Sea" to a certain extent. No matter where you go, you are a big daddy.
Su Xiao looked around at the appearance of Haixia City. There were four high walls on the edge and an outer layer of light film blocking it. There was no sea water in the city, so the Poseidon Statue could be put away and breathe freely.
The streets and houses here are all made of seabed rocks, and the colors are inevitably monotonous. Su Xiao soon discovered that this was just a slum area in the outer city. After passing the gate of the inner city wall on the first floor, the surrounding colors became
Diverse, no longer just the blue-gray color of sea rocks.
Various colors of corals and large shells are used as embellishments, making the colors of the buildings on both sides of the street diverse. In addition to the sea people, people of different races can be seen on the street. Even though it is cleaner and tidier than the outer city, people's gaze
It shows that this is not a stable place.
Through the sea tribe next to her named Di Shuo, Su Xiao learned a lot of information. First of all, this is the "No. Ⅵ Sanctuary City". The rules here are very simple. Except for a specific few people, the salary of the residents in the city, etc.
, part of the tribute must be paid to Poseidon. Poseidon is the creator of everything and protects everyone.
Regarding the fact that Poseidon is the creator of everything, just listen to it as nonsense. If Poseidon is the creator, what do the fragments of the scroll and the painter do?
The idea of sheltering everyone is a bit funny. Judging from the attitude of the sea tribe Dishuo, the beast disaster at the bottom of the sea is also very serious. If there were no seawater isolation between the various shelter cities, the sea pressure could kill the beasts.
Transformer, the situation at the bottom of the sea has long exploded.
There are a total of seven shelter cities at the bottom of the entire sea. In addition to the shelter cities, there is also the most prosperous Shen'en City as the main city. It is the sacred place where the Poseidon resides. When the Sea Clan Dishuo mentioned this, he was particularly surprised.
I yearn for it, because the Hai Clan girls over there are generally more beautiful, and there are more jobs there.
As he listened, Su Xiao felt that something was wrong. The situation at the bottom of the sea was particularly like a miniature version of the dynasty. The god of the sea was the king, and the envoys in charge of the seven sanctuary cities were equivalent to the former independent ministers.
In this country under the sea, there are poor people, citizens, and nobles. The specific status is determined by whether they are strong or not. The weak are poor, and 70% of anything they earn must be paid to the God of the Sea.
Further up are the citizens, who pay 10% of their property to Poseidon.
Then there are the nobles of the underwater country. The nobles do not need to pay tribute. Not only do they not have to pay tribute, a small part of the tribute paid to the sea god by the poor and citizens belongs to the nobles.
The function of this system is that the weak are squeezed more, but they are too weak to resist. Once they have the strength to resist, they will naturally be promoted from poor people to citizens, and the amount of tribute will be immediately reduced to 10%.
I would like to ask, in this situation, will these people who have some resistance power resist the oppression of the sea god? Of course not, in this world where beasts are rampant and the sea curse is mixed into every drop of sea water, how can you and your family survive?
It's fine if it's good.
The nobles above are all strong. Will they resist? Of course not. When the poor and citizens pay tribute, Poseidon eats meat and the nobles drink soup. They are vested interests. Not only will they not oppose Poseidon, they will also
Support Poseidon, stand with Poseidon.
What should we do if the poor turn into beasts? The existence of the nobles is to solve this problem. Moreover, after the sanity value returns to zero here, there is more than 50% chance of death, which is very different from the land where 100% turns into beasts.
The main purpose of this system is two-fold. One is to stabilize the divine power of Poseidon, and the other is to select nobles. The nobles are the strong and those with vested interests. They will form a group to surround and kill the poor people and citizens who have turned into beasts.
"Today is such a good day. Half a moment ago, two people came to Sanctuary City VI. One of them is a ritualist, and the other has a power called 'Dark Pattern'. Plus you are a doctor.
The envoy of God must be very happy, and the envoy of God will meet the three of you together."
Hearing what Hai Clan Di Shuo said, Su Xiao secretly felt something bad. After a while, he was escorted by four Hai Clan into a two-story stone building and entered the reception room to sit down.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and looked at Sias and Wood sitting opposite, speechless for a moment.
All the sea people left, the door was closed, leaving only two sea people outside the door. Su Xiao, Wood, and Sias all came here on their own initiative. There was no need to look heavily guarded, but they couldn't show off.
If you are particularly enthusiastic, you will lose your value. At present, this kind of reception that not only welcomes you but also gives you a certain degree of freedom is the safest.
In the reception room, Sias, Wood, and Su Xiao all looked as usual.
"Don't hide it anymore. Tell me what danger you are facing. You should have guessed it. It's the Lord of Light."
Sias was the first to express his position. The situation has developed to this point, and we will cooperate closely in the future. This matter must be explained now.
"On my side, there are 5 fragments of the Jar of the Abyss scattered here. After these five pieces are gathered together, the Jar of the Abyss will be restored to its integrity."
Hearing what Wood said, Sias's cheeks twitched. He had always been in awe of the Jar of the Abyss. That thing was too evil.
"Bai Ye, what is your danger?"
"Yes, it's already here, so don't hide it."
Wood and Sias both cast inquiring glances.
"There is no danger."
Su Xiao continued to close her eyes and rest.
"We are all in the same boat now, so we need to be honest."
Sias obviously didn't believe it, and so did Wood beside him.
"Oh? It's definitely on the same boat."
"Of course, we are good brothers."
Sias tapped his heart with his index finger, which meant that he was speaking out of conscience.
"My danger is... Sunbird Taihakak."
Su Xiao said with a smile, these two have been completely dragged into the water, want to run away? You can also, if you are hostile to the entire underwater country, you can escape now, besides, this is the bottom of the sea, here, Sunbird Taihakak is not
Invincible existence, otherwise, Su Xiao would never reveal this information.
"?"
"Ahem~"
Wood and Sias both looked at Su Xiao. After a moment of confusion, they both thought thoughtfully, this is the bottom of the sea.
"What do you think the meat of the sunbird tastes like?"
Si Yasi suddenly said such a sentence, Bubu's eyes lit up after hearing it. If it eats a meal of braised sunbird, its attributes will not be improved enough to take off.
"Then continue to cooperate."
Wood snapped his fingers, and the sound-isolating contract barrier around him disappeared. Wood's meaning was obvious. The three of them would practice solving their own troubles first, and then work together to fight Poseidon.
If it were just Su Xiao himself, Poseidon would have been operating here for many years, so it wouldn't be a problem. But now, Su Xiao, Wood, and Sias are all about to join Poseidon's camp, so we can only wish Poseidon good luck.
