Diving into the water, the vine spider turned into a vine squid again. This pool with a diameter of only more than 500 meters did not have parallel parts hidden under the rocks, but an almost vertical downward waterway. Luo Ling's sensing distance in the water was
Thousands of meters, thousands of meters below, there is still water.
After diving 500 meters, the bottom was not detected. After diving 1,000 meters, the bottom was still not detected. When it reached about 1,500 meters, the water channel began to tilt at a 45° angle, and the length was still unmeasurable. Luo Ling thought for a moment and ordered Nian Gu
Turn back and find a way out of Sandie Cave to protect Xing Juan and the others near the entrance of Tianmen Gorge. Going deeper, not to mention contact, or timely return of aid becomes very problematic. Luo Ling is now unable to open the channel underwater.
The passage to the Shadow Plane. Moreover, the successive battles had given him a premonition that the situation was getting out of control. It was difficult to predict how long this exploration would take to achieve its goal.
After swimming for nearly 5 kilometers, Luo Ling's brows gradually furrowed. The approximate vertical distance here on the surface was probably close to 7 kilometers. At 7 kilometers underground, he couldn't feel any heat. On the contrary, there was more and more heat.
The trend of getting colder seems not to be diving, but climbing, towards the top of Mount Everest.
The water pressure has reached a terrifying value. Although there is no pressure measuring device, Luo Ling conservatively estimated that the pressure has exceeded 1.5 tons per square centimeter. Theoretically, even with advanced manned deep-water detectors, this depth
It is also considered an extreme challenge.
Luo Ling began to feel that his imagination had become poor. He could no longer imagine how a possible corpse demon or corpse witch could lead a group of subordinates through such a waterway. At least he had no way to guarantee that a corpse demon or corpse witch might exist.
The large piles of zombies, zombie summoners, and zombie slave demons will not be killed by the water pressure here.
"Has the original goal been lost? Has the route been chosen wrong?" After advancing several hundred meters, rational doubts could no longer be suppressed and began to torture Luo Ling's will.
"Just hold on!"
"Just hold on a little longer!"
"Maybe the answer will be found next moment."
…
Just like the mentality of any small business owner who invested 500,000 yuan in a certain project but still saw no improvement, gradually, what supported Luo Ling in continuing to explore was no longer rationality, but an obsession. Because he was reluctant to invest in the early stage,
And began to gamble on luck, or even wait for a miracle to appear.
Of course, this kind of obsession also has a time to burn out, otherwise there would be no liquidation and cashing out at a loss in the stock market. Just when Luo Ling's reason began to prevail again, he realized that it was actually time to stop.
In a brave moment, a miracle happened.
To be more precise, the enemy appeared. Two fully armed deep-water submersibles, with their identification lights on and two underwater searchlights with different focuses. When Luo Ling discovered them, the other party also discovered Luo Ling.
Ling's presence, without any hesitation, two small torpedoes were fired over.
The speed of these two electric torpedoes is 75 knots, which is equivalent to about 140 meters per second. In the underwater world where viscous resistance is 1,000 times air resistance, such a speed has more than 90% chance of hitting any submarine within 1 kilometer.
It is not an unmanned detection submersible. It can be used to deal with Luo Ling who looks like a living fish, but it is still a bit unsatisfactory.
In 7 seconds, the vine squid could easily complete the evasive action, and more than that. While the torpedoes seemed to be passing by dangerously, Luo Ling used his tentacles to influence the direction of the two torpedoes so that they
It can sail all the way to the distance along the sloping waterway. In the end, whether the fuel of the two torpedoes is enough for them to rush to the vertical section of the waterway is not within Luo Ling's consideration.
"Damn it, it's something. The torpedo actually passed through the target's body after hitting it!" One of the operators of the submersible cursed to vent his frustration. The submersible was equipped with a new energy detection sonar.
System, he clearly saw the torpedo colliding with the target and then passing through. This made him very depressed, because the two electric torpedoes used adjusted trigger devices and had quite sensitive energy sensing systems. Even if they were real
It's an energy body. If you hit it, it shouldn't be as simple as passing through it.
"Is it because it missed the target? Because it was too close, it looks like it hit the target?" asked the operator of another submersible a little behind.
"Damn it, you don't believe in my skills? Okay, I'll shoot it again and let you see!" The operator, who was obviously guilty and stubborn, locked fire on the target again. The result was the same. From the instrument display, the situation was the same.
Look, it passes through the target again.
"Whoops!" The operator who fired the torpedo gasped. This time, he discovered the fact that the torpedo slightly changed its course when it passed through the target. "What kind of monster is it! It actually changed the course of the torpedo in an instant!" He said
I couldn’t help shouting in the channel.
"Isn't it possible?" Another operator questioned: "I know we have been in this damn place for too long, and we are under a lot of mental pressure..."
"Shut up! Damn it, I'm sure that what I saw was definitely not an illusion!" the operator who launched the torpedo roared on the channel.
"Okay! It's not an illusion. There are two torpedoes left. Keep them as spares. When the target comes close, let it taste the peanuts."
Peanuts refer to bullets. The bullets fired by the Gatling cannon with a rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute are extremely powerful whether in the air or in the water.
There are no living creatures in the dark waters. Within the scope of the light, you can see some white floating water dust and an occasional small string of bubbles. This area of water is almost like jelly, full of some kind of cause.
Stickiness caused by heaviness.
No matter how loud the MP3 rock music played in my ears, it could not hide the fact that it was 20,000 feet underwater. The unique darkness and silence of the abyss would definitely be a torture to those who stay here for a long time, especially when
Knowing that a dangerous monster is wandering in the darkness not far away, approaching but unable to see it.
The vine squid was swimming forward leisurely. Although the waterway was much narrower here, it was still more than 300 meters in diameter, forming an irregular circular tube. For him now, such a battle
The area is already very spacious. What’s more, the opponents are just a bunch of humans hiding in iron cans.
"Probably humans?!" Luo Ling thought to himself. It's hard to say in today's world. Those humans who work for demons often find it difficult to resist the temptation of power, thus turning themselves into half-human beings.
"For them, people like me who have gained tyrannical power should thank the company instead of seeking revenge." Luo Ling allowed some random thoughts to pass through his consciousness in order to mediate his mental tension.
Pressure. Doing this is necessary, just like people who went to war in the past chewed snacks such as chewing gum from time to time. After all, Luo Ling still regarded himself as a human being, not a life that grew up in the underwater world.
Chi chi chi chi! The Gatling cannon finally couldn't bear to fire. The supercavitation phenomenon left by the bullet when traveling (when an object exceeds 50 meters/second in the water, strange water vapor bubbles will form behind it)
) formed deadly water lines, and when the water lines were densely packed into units of hundreds, the scene was also a very spectacular scene.
The operator was a little nervous because of the nervousness. The squid was still more than 300 meters away from the submersible he was driving. He could just see the faint green light flowing on the surface of the squid's body. The Gatling cannon was on the ground.
The power is very powerful, but this is at the bottom of the water where the water pressure exceeds 2 tons/square centimeter. The submersible is equipped with a modified rapid-fire weapon that has only been treated with magic water isolation. After the bullet travels 300 meters in the water, its power is really limited.
The vine squid does not need to deliberately dodge at all. The bullets shot are like blunt knives cutting on more than ten layers of cooked cowhide. They have no lethality at all. Luo Ling even doubted that with this water temperature and force, those warheads would be damaged after impact.
Not much deformed.
After 20 seconds of shooting, the target still existed. This fact made the operator driving the submersible equipped with torpedoes even more nervous. He finally couldn't stand the pressure and had a mild mental breakdown. He killed the last two people regardless of the consequences.
A small electric torpedo is launched.
The propagation speed of sound underwater is 1500 meters/second. The moment the torpedo was launched, Luo Ling had already heard the sound. What's more, he had more advantageous underwater sensing capabilities. To avoid and intercept, the vine squid tried to do the same as the first two.
Just like that, the direction of the torpedo was changed again.
However, there is already a big gap between the angle of its position and the direction of the waterway. If he wants to catch the high-speed torpedo in less than a second and completely twist it to the required angle, Luo Ling still has some problems.
Insufficient ability. There was a surge of water, and after taking a huge risk and being carried nearly 200 meters by a torpedo, the vine squid only successfully changed the direction of one torpedo, while the angle of the other one was not adjusted in place, and the vines were released in time.
After opening, it shot diagonally for hundreds of meters and finally hit the rock wall of the waterway.
Pfft! Deep-water explosions never seem to have anything to do with shocking sound and light effects. If the torpedo does not contain its own combustion accelerant, whether the explosive material can be burned effectively is a problem. However, in a relatively narrow water area, the kinetic energy generated after the torpedo explodes
, but it was still quite powerful. The extremely fast shock wave caused the two submersibles more than a thousand meters away to shake, and one of the operators hit his head.
"Damn it! Another miss! What the hell is this damn thing!" The operator rubbed his forehead and cursed angrily.
"Not good!" Luo Ling immediately sensed the abnormality at the explosion point. The vine squid flashed a layer of green light and scurried downstream at the highest speed.
Knock! Knock! The underwater rock wall actually cracked and broke out a big hole from the explosion point. Water began to flow from the big hole to another empty place at a terrifying speed. Under the heavy water pressure, the big hole was constantly being filled.
It was torn diagonally downward, as if the water in the entire waterway had turned into a pair of sharp scissors, trying to cut open the entire downward side along the big hole.
The two submersible operators saw their enemy's body suddenly burst into bright light, and then scurried straight into the depths of the waterway like electricity. They hadn't woken up yet, and when the instruments showed that there was a sudden explosion in the waterway,
Only after water flow appeared, and the scope of the water flow was rapidly expanding downwards, did I think of what might have happened.
"Hurry! Dive quickly!" The voice of one of the operators changed. He shouted loudly in the channel. The two of them hurriedly controlled the steering of the submersible and dived. At this time, there was only one option left, let alone going up.
, as long as they are caught up by the downward extending crack, the torrent caused by the strong water pressure is enough to take the two submersibles to another world. No one knows whether the other side of the crack is an abyss with a drop of 10,000 meters.
There is no shame in fleeing. Facing the power of nature, Luo Ling and others are insignificant existences.
The extension of a crack is an obvious acceleration process. The larger the crack, the more water pours into another space every second, the faster the water flow, and the more powerful the cutting, and it is easier to be sucked into the rapids.
The more dangerous it is. The two submersibles, the vine squid, are risking their lives to dive downwards. Now their biggest wish is that the other side of the rock wall where the crack appears is to transform into a solid body after a certain hole. In this way
, the tearing will stop. As long as they are given a puddle two to three hundred meters deep, lurking at the bottom, the turbulent water will not roll out and be thrown into another space.
However, the irony is that Luo Ling has always thought that the water channel that was endlessly deep soon found the bottom. He had no choice but to imitate the leech, which bites and refuses to let go. After the vine squid dives to the bottom, it digs with all its strength with its tentacles.
On one side of the hole, another part of the tentacles spread in all directions, and the ice energy was fully activated. He wanted to build an ice wall, build an ice wall, and freeze himself at the bottom of the waterway to prevent being swept away.
The operators of the two submersibles were much more miserable than Luo Ling. Before they dived to the bottom, they were caught in the cracks, shot out their crossbow anchors, and drilled deeply into the rock mass. The two submarines were shaken as if blown by the strong wind.
The vine fruits are struggling to support themselves in the torrent.
Luo Ling's luck ended soon. The ice he created was dug away by the rapids. Fortunately, half of the cave was dug. With his head and feet, Luo Ling squatted into the cave, and then all the tentacles were inserted into the rock, firmly
Hold on to the rock mass and accept the baptism of the rapids.
The sound of rumbling water is like the loudest thunder in the sky, and every second is as unbearable as a year.
Boom! "Ah..." The crossbow anchor of one of the submersibles finally came loose, and the rapids swept it straight into the abyss.
Boom! Another submersible ahead, with a shorter anchor cable, could not resist the enthusiasm of the rapids, and rolled all the way towards an unknown world with a mortality rate of 99%.
Only Luo Ling was left under the water.
But at this time, he was much safer.
Because the downward digging has not stopped, the vine squid has completely hid in the narrow cave at this moment. The cave is several meters deeper than the rock wall at the bottom of the water channel. Even if the speed of the rapids is doubled at this moment, there is no way to 'gouge' out the vine squid.
After a deafening 58 minutes, the water in the waterway was basically drained. Luo Ling took a long breath, got out of the cave, and fell from the rock wall. The vine squid turned into a simplified version of the vine sea urchin.
When he had time to look around, Luo Ling discovered that the last section of the waterway was not inclined, but almost horizontal. It was only very short, more than thirty meters long. He came down very fast when he came down, and before he could feel it, he had already made contact.
We arrived at the rock mass, which is a stone wall of the large chamber at the bottom of the waterway.
There is still water flowing continuously down the slope of the waterway, forming a slope flow. This is the water flowing out of some branches of the waterway. Because of the large cracks, they can no longer fill the waterway unless the other side of the crack is filled first.
.
Kicking through the knee-deep water, Luo Ling headed towards the crack, and arrived two minutes later. It was said to be a crack, but in fact, it had been torn into a large hole with a width of more than a hundred meters and an unknown length.
Under the action of water pressure, the rock wall, which is nearly 20 meters thick, seems to be no stronger than paper.
Standing on the edge of the crack and looking into another space, all Luo Ling could see was a super dome with no edge at all.
There was wind swirling in the dome, and it was swept into the water channel, making a hissing sound. There was water vapor steaming up from the bottom of the dome, spreading everywhere. It was too deep below, so deep that ordinary light could not be transmitted up. Luo Ling suspected
The bottom is filled with surging magma. Otherwise, where would this water vapor come from?
If he had time, if he could fly, Luo Ling wouldn't mind exploring this super dome. He even thought that this might be the best hiding place. Any bullshit search signal would probably not be able to reach such a place.
Deep underground world, right?
After just standing there for a moment, Luo Ling walked back. He needed to find an entrance, an entrance leading to the destination he was looking for. The two submarines definitely stopped here because it was quieter and far away.
In the waterway, they are gatekeepers. They should be guarding a door hidden deep in the waterway.
This door was quickly found by Luo Ling, because it was not far from Luo Ling, it was in the center of the horizontal part at the bottom of the waterway.
What does Luo Ling think? This door is even better
