After hearing Ji Han's explanation, Eggplant said curiously:
"Come out of the sea? Conch girl? Mermaid? Ask these island residents to donate sperm to breed a new race?"
Ji Han was not disturbed by Eggplant's whimsical thoughts and went back to look at the first two relief murals and said:
"If these six paintings are regarded as complete narrative works, then the people who came up from the bottom of the sea are probably the islanders who sank to the bottom of the sea with half of the island in the first and second pictures."
Song Qian nodded thoughtfully and said:
"It makes sense, and only when they return from the sea can the remaining residents of the island believe them and finally go to the bottom of the sea together."
Cui Feng then said:
"You mean to say that the residents of the semi-circular island that sank into the bottom of the sea discovered a way to reach the bottom of the sea through the Great Swirl? Could it be that they discovered the divine pillar on the bottom of the sea?"
Ji Han replied:
"It is possible that the divine pillar was originally on the semi-circular island that sank to the bottom of the sea. The fall of the island activated the ability of the divine pillar to create space, thus protecting the island and creating a large vortex that can connect up and down."
Chen Ke frowned and said:
"No, isn't this a problem? We originally came to find the divine pillar, but now tell me that we can use the divine pillar to create a large whirlpool and go down. Isn't this an infinite matryoshka doll? If we had the divine pillar, what would we do?
What are you going down for?"
Ji Han tapped the fifth mural with a flashlight and said:
"I've told you the way to get down. It should be hidden in this temple. What do you think? Why don't those people who came up from the sea just take the people down directly? Instead of demolishing the houses and building this temple
Temple? There must be a reason to do this, and the reason is of course to go down to the bottom of the sea again."
The discussion among several people also aroused Wang Cai's curiosity.
"Why do these islanders have to go to the bottom of the sea? Isn't it good to live on the island?"
Eggplant smiled and said:
“I guess it’s the third part of The Temptation of Going Home: The Temptation of the Mermaid.”
Chen Ke looked around and said:
"No matter what, let's find a way to get out of here first."
Cui Feng said:
"I've searched everything I can, except for the platform in the middle of the pool. I'll go over and have a look."
Just as Cui Feng was about to go over, Ji Han grabbed her and said:
"No, since it is a trap set up for visitors who come by land, if you go to the stone platform in the middle of the pond, it will most likely be a trap."
Cui Feng did not speak, but silently shook off Ji Han's arm.
Song Qian also said:
"Brother Han is right. If you want to go out now, you can only take the waterway."
In fact, Ji Han had already thought of it, but he was really against going into the water, and it was a black pool with unknown conditions. There were dozens of highly venomous black-ringed sea snakes soaking in it, and some of them might not have been electrocuted.
Everyone's opinions were similar. Although Chen Ke had cleaned up the poisonous snakes in the water, there was no guarantee that any of them would survive. Going into the water at this time was really dangerous.
At this time, Song Qian stood up.
"Let me go down and take a look first. If there is really a way out or a mechanism to open the door, it would be best."
Cui Feng and Wang Cai looked at each other, stopped Song Qian together, and said:
"Have you not figured out the mission of our two captains who followed you? You are only responsible for going down and bringing the sacred pillar back. Although I don't know why the captain arranged for you to go, but he must have considered it. We will definitely spare no effort.
We are on a protection mission, so how could you be allowed to do something like this?"
With that said, the two of them were about to take off their clothes and get into the water.
Song Qian had known before that Captain Cui Feng and Captain Wang Cai were meticulous in their missions and absolutely obedient to the captain, but this was the first time they experienced this during a common mission.
When Ji Han heard this, he thought to himself that he had never thought that the game could be played with such a sense of mission by you.
If this was a live broadcast of the game, I would shout: Brothers, please show your tears on the public screen.
But just when Ji Han was still secretly happy that a teammate had completed the dangerous mission on his behalf, a pop-up box appeared again on the game interface:
[Optional mission: Who else would you give me?]
[Task description: Jump into the water before everyone else, find and open the temple's mechanism]
[Task reward: All monetary rewards in this divine pillar task will be doubled.]
Ji Han's eyes fell on the last two words.
Double? All monetary rewards in complete missions are doubled? Just jump in and complete the mission?
This reward is indeed quite tempting, but this pool of water and this poisonous snake make me feel uncomfortable all over. It is almost like jumping into a pot of snakes. However, I have blue nutrient solution, which can cure snake venom.
Seeing that Cui Feng and Wang Cai had taken off their coats, put down their valuables and were about to jump into the pool.
Ji Han gritted his teeth and without even having time to take off his clothes, he picked up Cui Feng's diving goggles and jumped into the pool with his eyes closed.
This sudden belief in money shocked everyone on the stone platform.
Cui Feng reacted quickly, but it was too late to stop him.
After entering the water, Ji Han didn't have time to feel the temperature of the water around him, and he didn't dare to think about whether there were any living poisonous snakes in the water. He touched the smooth body of the dead snake and pretended not to care about the goosebumps on his body.
.
Put on the diving goggles and swim towards the depths of the pool.
Wang Cai hadn't reacted yet and said doubtfully:
"How did he get down?"
Cui Feng looked at Ji Han's submerged figure in the pool and cursed:
"Humph, you bastard who doesn't follow the arrangements."
Then he picked up Wang Cai's diving goggles and wanted to continue diving, but Eggplant stopped him and said:
"The situation below is unknown, so don't go down any further? Since Ji Han dared to jump, he must be sure of the situation. As long as someone finds a mechanism to get out, it will be fine. If there are too many people going down, they may be bitten, so let's wait for news from Ji Han first.
"
Chen Ke continued:
"Understand, Team Cui, Brother Ji is just like this. When one person has to take the responsibility, he is the only one who takes the risk for others and does not allow others to take responsibility for him. But just in case, I will also take the responsibility for him."
I bought some antivenom, Brother Ji also has his own antidote, don’t worry.”
Wang Cai nodded and affirmed:
"Yes, this boy has the courage and courage of a captain."
Ji Han in the black water pool did not hear the praises from the people above him, but swam towards the corridor.
The water was not very deep, about three meters, so the jump was quite fast, and Ji Han did not bring any oxygen equipment.
But with the previous reward in Crescent Moon Spring: a 30% improvement in underwater movement ability. Now I can do it without equipment.
Looking at the pitch-black pool from above, when I came down I found that the water was just a little turbid. With the help of a flashlight, I could barely see clearly, but the visual range was very close.
Feeling that he had swam to the end of the tunnel, Ji Han groped around at the bottom of the water where the visibility was not high, and sure enough he found something at his feet.
I didn't adjust the angle of the flashlight, so I couldn't see clearly what it was.
It's round, with three holes on one side, and there seems to be a big uneven hole underneath.
