Bai Ya didn't know where he was being taken by the mysterious current. When he finally regained control of his body, there was only boundless darkness around him, almost exactly the same scene he saw when he first came to the sea.
It was so cold here that he finally felt the chill of the deep sea that he had never noticed before. Perhaps the coldness here was really strong enough to peel off the protection of the silk clothes. Where did this coldness come from? Here again
Where? Bai Ya didn't know at all, let alone whether he should feel lucky or sad for his survival.
He looked around, trying to find any clues. Fortunately, the Demon-Sealing Blade was still in his hand. He held it in his mouth, pulled out the scimitar from behind, and waved it up and down to test whether there was anything around him that he couldn't see. Compared to
The dark and narrow cave we first came from is actually very big here, so big that we don’t know the boundaries, and we can’t even notice the top and bottom.
Without any current, Bai Ya couldn't identify the direction at all. What's even worse is that his intuition told him that he was definitely not the only one here - no, in human terms, maybe he was the only one, but what could the others be?
Bai Ya's unique intuition told him that there seemed to be some long and narrow figure slowly sliding from underneath his body. It was also above and in the distance.
He couldn't hear any sound, and his breathing through the silk clothes seemed extremely heavy and loud. He was afraid of provoking something he shouldn't provoke. He was very sure that there were several, or even dozens of dragons like before here.
, but they haven’t discovered him yet. At this time, he suddenly encountered something under his feet.
Something. Bai Ya's center of gravity was unstable and he fell forward. The hand holding the knife immediately released his ring finger and little finger to support himself. The knife hit a stone or other hard object and made a crisp sound, which made him feel sad.
It was tight. Fortunately, he maintained the movement for a while, and no other abnormalities occurred.
Bai Ya felt his fingers on a certain slope. And he finally understood that he had been sinking just now - he didn't even notice. Now, he touched the bottom of this area. He stood
He stood up, tried to take steps, and slowly stretched out his scimitar from left to right to test. He thought that he must be like a funny snail at this moment.
The ground is very hard and uneven. It is not ordinary sand or rocks. Some parts are slippery, like ice. Occasionally, his knife will hit a stone pillar or other hard object, so
He walked around and wandered here for a while. He didn't gain anything, and he couldn't even outline the topography of this area in his mind.
Suddenly he saw a glimmer of light.
Even though it was an extremely small amount of light, Bai Ya could still see a vague outline. Then, he realized that there was a faint light coming from a certain direction, causing the smooth stones to reflect it. This scene also
It was so similar to when he woke up at the bottom of the sea before, as if it were some kind of guidance. He almost suspected that this was a dream.
Bai Ya walked forward along the light. Slowly, he could see a small white dot. The white dot was really very small, very weak, like the most distant one with the weakest light in the vast dark night.
Star. Sometimes, the white spot will suddenly lose its luster and then appear again soon, as if the shadow of something has passed over it.
The closer he got, the higher the light spot got. Bai Ya gradually realized that the spot was farther up than he thought. But he was not prepared to swim upstream. It would be dangerous to leave himself in a completely suspended state. At any rate,
This place can also provide some hiding places. Besides, going all the way upstream will definitely consume a lot of energy. He hasn't eaten for a long time, and Bai Ya knows very well that he shouldn't get into any difficult battle at this moment.
Finally, he came to the place on the ground that was almost closest to the light point.
That light was hidden. It seemed to be in a slightly open box, with some light escaping. The light source should be very bright, with incredibly strong penetrating power. It seemed to be placed in a certain building.
A high place. A building? Is there such a thing on the bottom of the sea? Or is it something sinking? In the process of getting closer to him, Bai Ya felt that he was almost approaching a miniature sun, high and bright, but not as warm.
Then, he was finally able to see what these "stone pillars" around him were.
A coffin...or a tombstone.
This is a metaphor. They are not pentahedrons made of wooden boards with a lid in the traditional sense. But in Bai Ya's eyes, the two have the same meaning. They are coffins that belong exclusively to the sharks...
They are sitting here in random directions, sealed by transparent multi-faceted crystals. The crystal is transparent, and the sharks are sealed inside in various postures, unable to move. The bodies and tails of those sharks are still clear and shining,
Vivid and alive, just like when they were alive. It's like time has quietly frozen, cherishing them forever.
Their expressions are really... various. Some are frightened, their faces are incredibly distorted, and they are trying to escape from somewhere; some are sad, with unspeakable despair rolling between their brows, and their hands are folded on their chests as if praying; some are sad.
Confused, their lips slightly parted, as if they don’t know what kind of situation they are facing; some people just look back, and their lives are forever frozen in that confused moment...
They are silent, sinking, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. They are gentle and peaceful.
Maybe after such a long time, they were dead...or maybe not. Bai Ya didn't dare to think about it, he only felt a chill.
Was he groping for these things just now - unknown inscriptions and other things along the way? He felt that his fingertips were getting colder, almost frozen, and about to fall off his hands. He tried to move his hands, but the cold
He had no feeling at all. The cold demon-sealing blades were still clenched between his teeth, and they were trembling, as if they would loosen at any time and slip off.
Did these sharks encounter danger here, or were they thrown here after encountering danger? Are they all warriors who came to make wishes or try to regain ownership of the orb after the Crystal Palace was occupied by the Dragon Clan? Bai Ya has no way of knowing.
. He just raised his head and looked at the place glowing with white light.
Oh - that's not a building, he saw it clearly. It was a sculpture, or in other words, half a statue. Bai Ya thought it was about the same size as the stone statues in the Temple of War, but he soon realized that this thing was just lacking in the darkness.
It was just a comparison. When he got closer, he found that even if only the upper body of the statue was left, it was much taller than the statue of the Queen in the Temple of War.
What material is it made of? Is it male or female? Bai Ya doesn't know, because it is too severely corroded. Logically speaking, this dark place with no life or any water should not have the statue so mottled. But it looks like
It looked so pitiful when he was up there, and the damage to the stone dragon was more serious than before.
, at least the latter is still intact. It may have fallen from a place that is easily corroded, or was placed here by someone, otherwise it would not be in two halves. The lower body may be missing, not here, or broken into pieces.
Countless pieces accompany each other with these row upon row of crystal coffins.
Bai Ya put away the two knives. Even though his mouth was a little sore, he still insisted on biting the Demon Sealing Blade with his teeth. He stretched out his hands and tried to climb up from the back of the statue. Although it was not smooth, it was brittle and white.
It was easy for Ya to break off the powder from the top. He swung his legs to help him and swam upward. If he accidentally touched the sculpture, a piece of it would be kicked off. He had to be extremely cautious.
After carefully standing on the sculpture's shoulders, Bai Ya realized an astonishing fact.
It's not a shark, Bai Ya is 100% sure - because it has human ears.
This is really... interesting.
The light source was on the outstretched and raised hand of the figure. Bai Ya looked around, he still felt very uncomfortable, and the feeling of being watched in secret lingered. But he couldn't care about that much, he just continued
Moving forward, he swam along the slender arm to the light source. It was placed inside a strange shell. Bai Ya thought it was a box before. The shell was half open, and the light inside cut its body like a knife.
The shell is very big, but it seems very small in the palm of the sculpture. Bai Ya stretched out his hand and gestured. Its size can probably be held up by one hand of an ordinary person, but it is safer to hold it with two hands.
.it is thick and the edge is
It has a regular wavy shape and is very white on the outside. Bai Ya realized that this kind of shellfish should be a clam, and it is a fossil of a clam. He had heard that the living clam should have a unique color and seemed to be fleshy.
film, but this one doesn't.
He tried to keep his body parallel to the palm of the sculpture and looked directly at the strong light.
It was not as dazzling as he imagined. He saw a circular outline. Could it be... could this be the most precious treasure of the Sharman clan? It might even be one of the magical weapons that constitute the large-scale barrier of the Nine Heavens Kingdom? He was a little excited. Such emotions
It almost overshadowed the previous strong loneliness. Although the jewelry was smaller than the glass heart and the blue amber, as a pearl, it can be said to be ridiculously large.
He thought for a moment and tried to reach out and touch the pearl inside. Now, the time on land is daytime, right? Because the pearl is white... As soon as he thought of this, before he could put his hand in, the container suddenly seemed like
Sensing something, it closed abruptly. Bai Ya was overwhelmed by the sudden darkness. He subconsciously withdrew his hand, but felt a special friction.
It's over, the silk clothes covering his hands were caught.
What's going on? Isn't this clam dead? It's not a living shell, so why is it so sensitive to the water flow? Bai Ya tried to swim backwards, and the silk clothes were stretched very long, and the fabric at the end of his legs became more and more
The time was getting shorter and shorter. He didn't dare to take risks, as this might tear the fabric of the clothes. And in this deep sea, if the silk clothes were slightly torn, he was afraid that he would be dead.
What was even more frightening was that in the deathly silence, a restless voice suddenly emerged. The crisis was imminent and was approaching him quickly.
