After understanding this key information, Lao Zhang was in a pretty good mood.
He decided not to leave for a while and slowly investigated the sea area.
As the saying goes, "if God gives it to you, you will be blamed for it." With such a good inheritance in front of him, if he leaves now, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
"Anyway, I don't know how long it will take to float back slowly, so I might as well increase my strength."
Of course, after experiencing yesterday's death blow, he has been confused from time to time in the past few days, and occasionally has a seizure, imagining that he is a basketball trainee; occasionally he has hysteria, thinking that he and his first love girlfriend are entering the marriage hall, and then burying his head
In that beige sweater...
Therefore, in this case, we dare not summon the awning boat and enter the tower again.
Being idle here was boring, Zhang Ming simply commanded Pelican and Xiaobai to try to discover the underwater ruins in this sea area.
Naturally, a pelican that is arrogant and not weaker than others cannot listen to others. If you want to make it obedient, you might as well let it die!
But it never expected that Emperor Zhang would beg it directly and shamelessly, even hugging its thigh and begging hard.
"Bird Mama... Oh, Pelican Emperor, you are going to become a god in the future anyway. Can't you just hug your thigh now? Please help me find the ruins. The ruins in the sea, you see I often get sick.
He looks like he needs to rest and recuperate."
"Please!"
The pelican was completely stunned and screamed "Gah!"
It wanted to kick this guy away, but it didn't expect that Emperor Zhang hugged him tightly and couldn't kick him away no matter what.
In addition, it was actually very useful in its heart and wished that the emperor kept begging it, so it lowered its voice and called "gugu" twice.
"Bird Emperor!" Zhang Ming simply lay on the ground, pretending to be a dead fish, "Please!"
The pelican's body trembled.
"Bird Emperor!" Shimama repeated the words, with a tone of gloating and watching the excitement.
"Bird Emperor!" Zhang Ming shouted louder.
The pelican shook violently and called "coo-coo-coo" a few times again
"Bird Emperor!" "Bird Emperor!" "Bird Emperor!"
Amidst the compliments, the Bird Emperor floated away. The bird's face entered an unprecedented state of spiritual climax, and his two eyes almost narrowed into a line.
"Gah!" it screamed, took Xiaobai, and flew into the sky to work.
Only Shimama stuck to the dog's butt and repeated speechlessly: "Bird Emperor...please!"
"What do you know? A strong mouth is the key to a shameless sermon. You repeater, you will never have the ability to control others in your life. You will only quarrel with others."
"Look, after complimenting Mama Bird a few times, I can control it without losing a piece of meat. It's very cost-effective."
Zhang Ming crossed his legs leisurely, basked in the sun, and fell asleep unconsciously.
He is not lazy, he just wants to repair his mental trauma as quickly as possible, and sleeping is the fastest way to repair it.
Shimama froze on the spot, thinking deeply, what Zhang Dad said made sense.
In the clear blue sky, the Bird Emperor, who was in a state of ecstasy and believed that he was "not inferior to others", was circling in circles, searching for the underwater ruins with all his strength.
As a magical bird that can increase Lao Zhang's attributes by 5 points with just one egg, it is actually not weak and can see through hundreds of meters of sea water.
As for the little white one on its head, it kept rolling its eyes. It would never be able to tell the pelican about Zhang Dadi's "King with a Strong Mouth" message in this life, so just let it work happily!
……
So after ten days of hard work, the general search results came out.
There are indeed some underwater ruins.
But most of them are collapsed buildings, and what can be excavated is quite limited.
This civilization is not like the Yanjiao people who like to make stone tablets to record their history, so as time goes by, a lot of information has been lost.
What can be found are murals, statues and the like, which are not of much help to Zhang Ming.
However, Shimama’s text cracking work still has some significance.
Of course, progress is very slow.
"It seems that we still have to go to that high tower to dig out the important content."
It was not until 15 days later that Zhang Ming, whose mental state returned to normal, clicked the diamond-shaped gem in the token again.
As a ray of light flashed, the token in his hand issued a command.
Half an hour later, accompanied by the sound of running water, the old awning boat appeared nearby again.
After Zhang Ming was mentally prepared, he took the ice spear in his hand, put on his invisibility cloak, and a backpack of props, and set off with Shimama.
"I don't know what kind of changes will happen this time..."
The awning boat swam quickly. Zhang Ming groped in the cabin for a while. There were two prismatic crystals on the boat. One of them was probably used for reinforcement to prevent the wooden boat from rotting; the other one was the control core. The one in his hand
After the token sends an instruction, it can be received by the control core.
"I don't know how long these crystals can work..."
Since the time of entry this time was daytime and there was no heavy fog, Zhang Ming could easily see the movements of the seabed.
This world has indeed sunk. The taller buildings are about twenty or thirty meters away from the water, and there are a lot of marine life attached to them. It is a green area, mainly plants, with few marine animals.
Lower buildings may be one or two hundred meters away from the water.
Only the tall tower reaching into the clouds is exposed above the sea.
And the almost frozen red moon above the tower... Even in the daytime, you can still feel the eerie and terrifying nature of the moon.
"A living demon..." Zhang Ming murmured to himself, "How did this demon get to the top of the tower?"
"How did this world sink? Was it crushed by the devil? Or was the world going to sink in the first place?"
The Shimama stuck to the buttocks cannot be determined. After all, the strength of an existence like the Demon God cannot be inferred based on common sense. After Xuanwu died, there were still three things left, let alone such a Demon God who was still alive. Zhang Ming even frowned slightly, recalling a clue from a long time ago: the former Mirage No. 6.
It used to be a large offshore oil drilling platform on Earth, with more than a hundred oil workers working on it.
After entering the mysterious area, the platform is slowly sinking and will completely sink into the sea water within half a month.
The final result is...no one survived!
And now, the continent of the Azurite people has actually sunk.
This fact filled Zhang Ming's mind with random thoughts.
Will the earth sink?
If the earth is really floating in the sea of demons in "some form", then its sinking is not unimaginable...
When I think about the consequences of the sinking of the entire Pangea continent, it is really a disaster that the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse.
"In fact, most of the Turtle Continent has sunk. There is only one small island left. Is this a coincidence or an inevitable fact, or is it related to the number of world sources?"
Zhang Ming took a deep breath and decided to investigate the truth behind the sinking of the "Blue Crystal Civilization" as soon as possible.
After waiting like this for a while, the high-speed awning boat approached the tower and slowly calmed down.
This time was a little different from the last time, because he already had an identity token, and the awning boat took him to another direction and changed the entrance door.
Before Zhang Ming could get closer, the door opened automatically with a "bang", as if something was inside, welcoming his arrival.
"Now that you've come, let's make peace with it." Zhang Ming calmed down deeply, increased his vigilance, and jumped into the gate with a slight jump.
The lights inside the tower are still dim, and there is a faint smell of moss in the air.
After such a long time, even if there is supernatural power in the tower, there are still some corners and corners that have not been covered, and some mold has appeared.
Suddenly, Zhang Ming's pupils shrank suddenly, and his muscles tensed up, making alert movements!
He saw a whole row of corpses, some of which fell neatly on the ground.
This is a hall of about a hundred square meters, which is quite spacious except for being a little dark.
Sitting on the chair was an azure man wearing white clothes. He put his hands on the table and sat upright. However, the flesh and blood on his body had completely disappeared and turned into a skeleton.
Look at the corpses on the ground, dressed in black cloth, lying in a line.
The mouths of several skulls were wide open, as if they had experienced some desperate pain at the moment of death. Others seemed to have no expression, and they should have died in an instant.
"Good guy, this place was originally occupied by people, but when it was my turn, they were all dead." Zhang Ming smiled bitterly and stepped over the bones.
There was a vague sense of crisis in my heart.
"How did these guys die?"
Will this crisis be my turn countless years later?
He wasn't sure.
I walked a few steps forward and found a few withered books on the table of the man in white, as if they were dug out of an ancient tomb, stained with the strong atmosphere of time.
The bottom floor of the tower has been submerged in seawater for a long time. No matter what, there is still some salty and damp breath coming into the tower. The paper books are covered with colorful mold.
"Shimama, do your own research on what's written here. There's a lot of information in this room. It's impossible that you can't decipher everything."
Shimama rolled on the table and started studying it carefully. It was not afraid of the paper being poisonous, so it just turned over it and it was done.
Although this guy is a bitch, he can really handle things!
Zhang Ming himself is also in this room, walking around and looking around. There are some weird machines here, with dozens of crystals inlaid on them, as well as screens and button-like things?
If we use the language of human civilization to describe it, this seems to be an... office hall?
There are quite a lot of moldy files displayed in the drawer, many of which were improperly preserved and have been completely reduced to a mass of black coal, making it impossible to verify them.
He bent down again and looked at the diamond-shaped gem on the forehead of the corpse. An invisible force blocked his finger back.
Even after such a long time interval, Zhang Ming could still feel the subtle supernatural fluctuations contained in it, and his subconscious told him that this place should not be touched casually.
Of course, after 15 days of training, he can use the "soul splitting" method to read a small amount of memory in the diamond-shaped gem.
But for a while, Zhang Ming didn't dare to possess him randomly.
He was afraid that the death memories of these blue crystal people would cause him serious mental trauma, and he would have to recuperate for another half month.
"Shimama, are you done?" He found an open space and punched the wall with a moderate punch.
The crystal stones embedded nearby emitted a faint light.
Soon, Zhang Ming's punch disappeared again.
Zhang Ming frowned and looked at the bright prismatic crystal stone, guessing that its supernatural properties might be "reinforcement" and "repair."
The last wish of a once-living azure man was placed here.
And there may be hundreds of millions or billions of such crystals on the tower!
"A very strange civilization built this tower in a strange way."
He doesn't dare to attack the wall anymore, because this tower has a defense mechanism, a super weapon that can kill the devil. Wouldn't it be easy to crush an ant to death?
After waiting like this for more than an hour, Shimama began to feel hot, rolling around the table, and even imitating a pelican and calling "Quack".
One look at its crazy look, and you know it has really deciphered something.
Zhang Ming did not hesitate to praise him and said with a smile: "Whatever Emperor Shi Dadi deciphered, please tell me and listen."
Shimama was very fond of the name "Shi Dadi". Even though she knew that Zhang Dadi had used the skill of "King with a Strong Mouth", she was still very happy to be praised.
It jumped onto a book and triumphantly read out the corresponding spiritual language: "#￥...@?"
A mysterious hallucination appeared in Zhang Ming's mind.
……
"Cha Tin!"
"Arrived!"
"The bell returns!"
"Arrived!"
"Stone Wall"
"Arrived!"
A middle-aged man in white clothing is holding a roll call, just like a professor in a university who calls names in the classroom and calls them over one by one.
At the bottom stood a row of young students dressed in black. After their names were called, their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
After calling the names, the middle-aged man clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations to everyone, you have broken away from the status of 'Ding' and entered the rank of 'Shi'."
"I hope you can work harder, enter the 'able' rank earlier, and make greater contributions to the construction of the Pillar of Heaven!"
Wow!
There was applause and discussion below, and it suddenly became noisy like a vegetable market. After wearing the medal, every blue crystal person wearing black clothes was proud of their identity.
"Shi", a brand new class.
Above this is "Neng", the one who fought with Lao Zhang!
Another student asked: "Teacher, how difficult it is to become a capable person. There is not even one out of a hundred people. How can we improve our own strength more quickly?"
