The Black Pearl was parked above the Blue Hole, showing a mysterious and dim dark blue tone. Many people were as restless as Russell, their scalps were numb, and they wanted to grab the rudder and turn around and leave.
The blue hole looks like a big mouth, which will swallow the Black Pearl in the next second, or directly stretch out a big hand and drag the Black Pearl into the deep sea.
"There is always a way..."
Russell's eyes twitched. He had just asked the system to use the Maelstrom's skill card to build a channel directly to the bottom of the sea. However, the cheating system once again prompted that it must touch the sea surface before it can be used.
To be honest, there is no need for this guy to pretend. Can you be accommodating?
Russell glanced under the boat. The light blue water was bottomless, and the darkness seemed to hide monsters from the abyss. After just one glance, his legs softened unsatisfactorily.
"Barbossa, Jack, are you sure the trident is down there?" Russell said without giving up: "Actually, I have heard some rumors that in the sea area where the trident is located, there is an island made of diamonds, corresponding to the stars in the sky. I think it is very
Reliable, think about it carefully!"
Barbossa and Jack looked at each other, then shook their heads: "Captain, the trident is down there."
"Okay, order the sails to be folded, and I will open the waterway immediately." Russell stood on the side of the ship with a dark face, and before jumping off, he threatened fiercely: "It's best if the trident is below, or I will throw you into the sea.
Let the Flying Dutchman come and take you to hell."
The sound of splashing into the water, as well as screams and curses, were heard from under the boat. Barbossa and Jack pretended not to hear them and opened their ears to look at the blue sky and white clouds. They are smart people and know what they can and cannot hear. For now, they
Deaf.
"Barbossa, is the captain afraid of the sea?" Turner stood aside and asked in a low voice.
Barbossa ran away after hearing this. Jack came to Turner very seriously and patted him on the shoulder: "Turner, you have to remember that the captain is fearless. If he is afraid of the sea, then Barbossa and I are too.
, everyone on this boat should be afraid, do you understand?"
Turner understood instantly and nodded quickly. At this moment, the calm sea surface suddenly trembled, the sea area in front of the Black Pearl twisted and rotated, and a large whirlpool slowly formed.
Russell jumped on the deck and walked back to the captain's cabin with a meal. Behind him, white waves rolled out from the sea water, and the spiral current opened a channel, leading the Black Pearl to move forward.
Barbossa and Jack compete for the rudder and pilot the Black Pearl through the deep sea. This legendary experience is likely to only happen once in a lifetime, and neither of them wants to let the other show off their power.
Eventually, Turner and Elizabeth took Jack away and handed the more experienced Barbossa the control of the ship.
"What, how did you see that he has more experience?" Jack's eyes widened and he pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Are you blind? Is it just because his beard is whiter than mine?"
Elizabeth reasonably said: "The previous naval battle was the Black Pearl controlled by Barbossa, and that time was also a maelstrom."
Jack: "..."
It makes sense, but...it's my turn once and for all!
The Black Pearl cut into the fast current and fell into the depths of the blue hole at an extremely fast speed. Barbossa tried hard to maintain the balance of the ship and made several strange screams of excitement from time to time.
Just like an experienced driver driving at night and racing on winding mountain roads, unfamiliar mountain roads are more exciting and more conquering than the few tracks he usually runs on.
In the same way, veteran drivers like to try all kinds of new cars!
The currents were turbulent, sharks appeared from time to time, and corals fell onto the deck. Turner and Elizabeth hurriedly returned to the cabin, leaving Barbossa screaming and Jack refusing to leave.
Russell was sitting in the captain's cabin, opened the window and looked around, and suddenly remembered something very important... How to get up there later?
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. There is a saying that Jack and Barbossa often say. It doesn't matter if you don't know the destination. Just raise the sail first. A man on the sea who can say this must not care about the dangers of this trip.
There was no return, so Russell thought for a while and didn't tell them.
The Black Pearl dived deeper and deeper, and the sky slowly shrank into a point of light. Just as the current gradually weakened, the ship's hull suddenly passed through an invisible membrane.
Russell saw artificially carved hollow doors on both sides of the blue hole. The huge door separated two worlds, which made him feel very much like the last time he went to the end of the world.
Jack is right, the trident does not exist in the human world!
"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
The ship sailed into a high-speed waterway, and the surrounding seawater was blocked by invisible barriers. The ear-piercing roar disappeared instantly, and it was terrifyingly quiet under the deep sea.
Russell rushed onto the deck and saw an inverted blue zenith separating a sky and earth under the sea. Dots of sunlight refracted and converged, illuminating the deep sea like daylight on the ground.
"It turns out there is such a world under the ocean!"
In a daze, Barbossa let go of the rudder and found that there was no one driving the ship, and the Black Pearl could sail automatically, allowing him to appreciate the vast underwater world.
On the dome of the sky, countless marine life roamed, including black schools of fish, huge whales in groups of three to five, magnificent coral reefs, and... Barbossa's face changed slightly. He saw several monsters bigger than the North Sea Kraken.
The huge shadow is not a school of fish but a whole body.
The Black Pearl sailed along the waterway, and the deck was full of pirates watching the fun. The black shadow that covered the sky made them wonder. It turned out that the Kraken had relatives.
After about ten minutes, the speed of the waterway slowed down, and the Black Pearl sailed into the deep sea land. On both sides of the waterway were strange coral rocks, and a gray city was vaguely visible in the front.
At the entrance to the city, two Optimus pillars stand tall, each one hundreds of meters high. There are many such pillars in the city.
Russell's mind was wide open, and an ominous guess came to his mind: "Is this world... connected to the Saint Seiya?"
The Black Pearl sailed along the waterway and passed two pillars. Russell stood on the deck and suspected that the two pillars were the city's gates. The strange symbols carved on them were neatly arranged and could be regarded as the city's regulations, requiring outsiders to abide by them.
Don't make mistakes.
The gray city reveals its true appearance. It is a dilapidated city with broken walls and neat stone bricks on the ground. Collapsed columns and palace ruins can be seen everywhere. Vertical waterways extend in all directions and shuttle through every corner.
It is still operating normally today, so you can imagine how glorious it once was.
The pirates clucked their tongues, with deep shock in their eyes. They all opened their eyes wide and marveled at the magnificence of this majestic city. On the ground, there had never been a city that made them feel as small as this one.
"The lost civilization...Atlantis..." Russell whispered softly, firmly believing that the Trident was here, just like the desolate underwater world in the original book, with only a few corals and not even a decent palace.
All the money must have been spent on special effects.
The Black Pearl was drifting towards the center of the city. The pirates were determined to disembark and search for treasure, but lowering the anchor could not stop the Black Pearl. The only thing they could do was to turn the rudder and let the ship continue deeper.
Finally, there were more and more dilapidated palaces on both sides, and the Black Pearl automatically docked at a berth. What came into view was a huge square made of bricks. It was impossible to visually measure the length and width. I can only say that the 30 to 50 thousand people standing under the square were just a piece of cake.
dish.
At the end of the square, there is a giant stone statue. A giant in armor is walking on the waves, waving a trident in his hand. His face cannot be seen clearly, because the statue is broken from the shoulders up, and it is bare and headless.
Behind the statue, there is a well-preserved palace, supported by hundreds of pillars and tall doors to ensure that even giants can pass freely.
Russell jumped down and strode towards the palace. This majestic palace was the center of the entire city and the most likely place where the Trident was hiding.
The pirates lowered the ropes and swarmed off the ship. Jack, Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Turner followed Russell closely, and walked quickly for five minutes before finally arriving at the entrance of the palace.
The moment they stepped into the palace, others looked up at the stone wall and felt themselves insignificant, but Russell once again noticed the barrier. The magnificent city had been dilapidated for an unknown period of time, and he did not encounter the breath of living creatures along the way, but the magic barrier did.
If it continues to operate, he cannot help but be cautious.
There seemed to be a layer of water flowing on the roof of the hall, with sparkling blue light shining down. A faint coercion lingered within it, making everyone afraid to move rashly.
The pirates walked a few steps before swallowing their saliva and exiting the hall out of fear, looking for treasure elsewhere. Russell and Barbossa continued deeper, and at the end of the hall, they saw another statue of a god.
The gleaming white statue was carved from something unknown. It was exactly the same as the one on the square. However, the statue was well preserved and the size was not much different from that of ordinary people. Poseidon held a trident and stared up at the sky.
The Poseidon on the statue is a handsome and muscular man with a chiselled face and well-defined muscles. He is so lifelike that he seems to be able to come to life at any time.
Russell glanced twice, and then his attention was attracted by the trident in his hand. The whole body was dark, except for the three blades of the spear head that shone with cold light.
Although this trident is a bit simpler and not gorgeous at all, it is more than a hundred times better than the fifty-cent prop in the original work. At least it will not break at a touch in close combat.
Russell took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked to the statue, raised his hand and touched the trident.
A little cold!

Feeling secretly happy in his heart, Russell's expression remained unchanged, and he silently asked the system to start the lottery.
[Item Card: Poseidon Trident·Remnant (broken divine object, collect seven to fuse and repair)]
What the hell is it like to collect all seven and make a wish?
Russell complained, and when Turner saw the artifact that saved his father from suffering, he also touched it. The tentacles were cold, and he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, and ended up touching the statue of Poseidon.
"Buzz buzz----"
The trident buzzed, and the azure light instantly filled the entire hall, and a majestic pressure swept across the entire city in an instant.
