Chapter 400 The sea within the sea(1/2)
When he left his hiding place and approached the center of the empty sea, Meng Zhou was neither in the real world nor the real world. Instead, he turned into water and became one with the sea.
——As early as when he was building the foundation, Meng Zhou had cultivated the "body of whirlpool water" and gained the talent of transforming into water. Now, this talent has become part of the five elements and all things body.
The more you use it, the more you can do what you want.
In this state, although the speed will be slightly slower, the concealment is undoubtedly the highest.
Moreover, this also gave him a keener insight into this sea area.
Some abnormalities that are difficult to detect in other states are easier to identify in this state.
In this way, Meng Zhou, who turned into water, sank while approaching the center of the empty sea.
…
When he first entered, Meng Zhou didn't notice anything special except that the aura became a little thicker.
But when he came to the center of this empty sea and dived deep into the seabed, Meng Zhou felt that the water around him was getting heavier and heavier.
That is, the density is getting bigger and bigger.
If Meng Zhou hadn't "transformed into water", the "water" could flexibly adjust according to changes in his mind. With just this change, his supposedly secretive way of infiltrating could have caused abnormal movements in this sea area.
.
——The water with lower density is restlessly carried in the upper layer closer to the sea surface, and it drills downwards desperately. This is the biggest anomaly.
Fortunately, Meng Zhou's changes were flexible enough, and he had been quietly changing his own state according to changes in the water environment around him, so no abnormalities were caused.
Meng Zhou, who turned into water, continued to sink.
Gradually, Meng Zhou began to feel a little unsure.
“Isn’t this really a ‘bottomless pit’ under the sea?”
"But don't those ancient books say that this is the passage to the 'Stars and Heavenly Lake'?"
Meng Zhou suddenly thought of another possibility.
"Is it possible that the passage leading to the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' and sinking along this passage to reach the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' are not the same thing?!"
"Perhaps, this passage is like the corridor before entering the room of 'Xingxiu Tianchi'.
You can't enter the room just by walking down the corridor.
You also have to stop at the right place in the corridor and open the door with the right key to actually enter the room."
The moment this idea came to his mind, Meng Zhou realized that perhaps this was the correct procedure for entering the "room".
And the information about the "Xingxiu Tianchi" he saw through Kou Chong in the library hall only told him where the correct "corridor" was. As for the correct "house number" and the "key" to open the door, he didn't have any.
"Trouble."
At this moment, Meng Zhou, who had turned into water, had stopped sinking, and was hanging in the water where no light could be seen from above and no bottom could be seen below. It was empty and boundless, and there was no upper or lower water in a trance.
After realizing what the problem was, the first thought that came to Meng Zhou's mind was to ask Kou Chong, who was adjusting his mood, to go to the library hall again, hoping that the massive collection of books there could give him a clear answer.
But soon, Meng Zhou rejected this idea.
The key is time.
Before this operation, Meng Zhou had drawn a line for himself. Regardless of whether there was any gain or not, this exploration must be completed within half a month.
And even with the reminder from "Uncle Zheng", it took about a year to get the current understanding of "Xingxiu Tianchi" from Kou Chong's massive collection of books.
Therefore, unless there is "Uncle Zheng" secretly helping to open the "luck trap", this method will basically not work.
Moreover, doing so also means that the stumbling block he set for "Uncle Zheng" will be ineffective.
Because he secretly stumbled and held back, "Uncle Zheng's" temporarily suspended plan will continue to move forward.
This was even more unacceptable to Meng Zhou.
"We can't count on the library hall. It seems... we can only rely on ourselves."
Meng Zhou had this realization in his heart, and his thinking became active.
It seemed that at the next moment, and it seemed that a long time had passed, a thought emerged in Meng Zhou's mind.
"What's the use of just speculating here? There must be a full investigation first. Have you even forgotten this basic principle?!"
After having this realization in his heart, Meng Zhou, who had originally transformed into water and hung motionless in the water, started to move again.
down.
up.
Front, back, left and right.
Meng Zhou spent five days traveling around the empty sea area with a radius of thousands of miles on the east side of Lingming Island.
He discovered a very magical place.
Before entering the "funnel hole" that existed in the simulation in the central sea area, this empty sea area also showed some special places, but overall, everything was relatively normal.
But when they entered the "Funnel Deep Cave" range, more specifically, it should be within a radius of two hundred miles from the center of the open ocean, things suddenly became strange.
When he didn't dive too deep and could still feel the dim and weak light transmitted by the sun through the deep waters, everything was relatively normal.
If he moves forward, backward, left, and right, he can successfully reach other areas of this empty sea.
But the critical point is that he can no longer feel the light coming from the sun. After passing this depth, things suddenly become strange.
If he moves forward, back, left, or right, he will have the illusion that he has not moved at all and has stayed in the same place. It also seems that there is no end in any direction, and no matter how he moves, he can't get out of this special water boundary.
In such an illusion, the sense of direction such as front, back, left, and right will quickly become confused and blurred, until the sense of front, back, left, and right is completely blurred at the perceptual level.
What is blurred is not only "front, back, left and right", but also "up and down".
When Meng Zhou lost the precise sense of "up and down" due to random attempts, he really felt panicked in his heart.
At that time, he was really in a state of "no bounds, no top, no bottom".
If he couldn't find the right way to get out of trouble, he might be trapped and die in this situation.
Fortunately, such a thing did not really happen.
Meng Zhou calmed down and soon developed a special feeling in a certain direction.
There are invisible, tangible, tangible "chains" shooting from that direction and connecting to myself.
The other end of the "chain" is connected to one big demon after another in different shapes.
The other end of one of the "chains" is connected to the monkey demon contracted by Kou Chong;
There is another one, and the other end is connected to Fan Ling's contracted Earthly Magic Turtle;
There is also a "chain" at the other end, connected to the contracted spirit snake of Cao Bin, the deputy master of the Observation Hall;
…
The existence of these "chains" provides a clear "directional anchor" for Meng Zhou in this situation.
He no longer needs to worry about "where is the top", he only needs to move forward along the direction of the chain connection, close the distance between each other, and naturally escape from the strange environment and return to the normal open sea.
middle.
After mastering the correct entry and exit methods and discovering the specialness of this water area, Meng Zhou realized that the "Xingxiu Tianchi" was probably directly related to this anomaly.
The strange phenomenon created by this water area also gave Meng Zhou a very familiar feeling in his heart.
It seemed like I had seen a similar environment before.
Meng Zhou, who was thinking in his mind, soon had the answer.
"Realm of Death!"
Meng Zhou immediately thought of his first experience entering the "Realm of Death" and what he learned from his exploration.
——The realm of death is not unique to the giant wilderness. The "realm of death" exists in both the flood wilderness and the furnace wilderness.
Moreover, its performance in these two realms is exactly the same as the "Realm of Death" in the Juye Wilderness.
From this, Meng Zhou could basically determine that the "Realm of Death" in the other five desolate realms that he had not entered yet should have the same behavior.
…
Before discovering the truth of the "Realm of Death", the feeling of never reaching the end is so similar to the feeling created by this special water environment of "no bounds, no top, no bottom"!
However, the situation created by the latter is more difficult to break.
After all, the "Realm of Death" still has the unchanging, like solidified waves of the earth as a "hint".
If you have the ability to remember all the "waves", and when you encounter them again, you can definitely make a judgment: "I have seen this wave before."
Or you can ensure that you always walk in a straight line during a journey of tens of thousands of miles, and discover the markers you left behind, which can also decipher the secrets of the "Realm of Death".
In comparison, this water environment is undoubtedly more dangerous.
In this water environment with no ripples and "no boundaries, no top, no bottom" in his perception, he was unable to find any useful clues about the environment itself.
"so far so good."
Meng Zhou felt very lucky. He had never expected that those Tai Sui bodies could produce such unexpected miraculous effects.
