Yu
Chapter 772 Underwater Forest
At the door, the two looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, and Sophia whispered, "Let's look elsewhere first."
Jiang Xiao nodded, he had already seen this place on the giant whale's scanned terrain map. Aside from this building, there shouldn't be anything else.
Twenty minutes later...
"Sophia! Jiang Xiao pi!" Prince Bino's loud shout faintly came from below.
Inside the castle, Juliet was swimming in the second-floor corridor, holding the sea soul lamp, looking at a faded, blurry oil painting, searching for clues in the portrait. Hearing Prince Bino's voice, she hurried out as well.
The quartet gathered at the statue in the center of the castle. Prince Bino gently tapped the ground at the foot of the statue with his trident and said, "It's hollow."
"Hmm?" Sophia raised her eyebrows slightly.
Bino: "This castle is standing on a cliff. This tunnel may lead down into the mountain, and there may be treasures inside!"
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly. Why didn't the giant whale scan it? Was it because it was sealed? Could the giant whale only scan the surface?
Sophia nodded: "Look for the mechanism."
Bino: "Why look for a mechanism? Just blast it open."
Sophia: "This is a product of civilization. We should be careful. This is a secret tunnel after all."
Prince Bino scratched his head, looked at Jiang Xiao, and said, "You blink in and open the door from the inside. It'll be easier than looking for a mechanism outside."
As he spoke, Prince Bino looked around, couldn't help but grin, looking helpless.
Jiang Xiao: "..."
You're really pushing me to the edge, aren't you?
Jiang Xiao slowly dived and pointed to the ground.
Prince Bino stood at the foot of the huge statue, his body close to the hem of his cloak, and tapped the ground with his trident, saying, "Yes, it's directly below this statue."
As he spoke, Prince Bino also tapped around with his trident, saying, "It's all hollow. They're very large, and the tunnel is very large. You don't have to be afraid of blinking into the stone, it's very spacious."
Jiang Xiao shrugged. Alright.
Taking people's money and helping them avoid disaster, everything is easy to talk about.
Jiang Xiao carried the sea soul lamp, his body suddenly flickered, and he directly entered the underground tunnel.
"Ah oh~" Jiang Xiao blinked, a large bubble came out of his mouth. He saw a downward staircase, very spacious, and the steps were also very large.
The staircase didn't know where it led, at least the sea soul lamp couldn't reach it for the time being.
Jiang Xiao looked left and right and found that there were indeed protruding stones on the wall.
Hmm...
Jiang Xiao floated over and looked at the seven huge circular stones on the wall, arranged in a circle.
What's the operation method?
Jiang Xiao reached out and tapped on the stones, but there seemed to be no reaction?
Eh?
Can this wall be pressed in? There's a clear circle of gaps?
Jiang Xiao's palm pressed against the center of the stone circle, covered in cyan light in his palm, and gently pushed forward.
The huge stone circle was indeed pressed down.
*Ka-cha!*
With a muffled sound, Jiang Xiao looked up and saw that the base of the huge statue of the young man holding the book slowly moved open.
Jiang Xiao's face lit up with joy. After a few seconds, Prince Bino had already rushed in, rubbing Jiang Xiao's head in appreciation.
Jiang Xiao leaned his head back in disgust. As he leaned back, the cloak on his body sensed Jiang Xiao's movement. It suddenly lifted its tail and slapped Prince Bino out.
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Sophia and Juliet had just swam in when a figure darted out from their side, creating a burst of turbulence.
*Swoosh~*
Juliet was dazed. What was that that darted past me?
A few seconds later, Prince Bino swam back with a resentful expression, but he didn't dare to approach Jiang Xiao again.
Jiang Xiao raised his shoulders, tilted his head, and rubbed the cloak with his cheek to show encouragement.
You're so awesome!
"Let's go," Sophia said.
"Hmph." Prince Bino glanced at Jiang Xiao's cloak with dissatisfaction, still taking the lead, quickly diving down.
This swim was beyond everyone's expectations.
The castle was built on a seabed cliff. According to the quartet's idea, the tunnel should lead to the inside of the mountain, with a special stone room, treasure house, or something like that.
However, according to the speed and time of the descent, people were probably already through the mountain and into the ground!
"Exit!" Prince Bino suddenly said, his body darting out.
Jiang Xiao and the others followed, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
A vast open space was beyond everyone's expectations. This was not a secret room, but a forest!
Looking around, it was a dense forest. In this dark environment, under normal circumstances, people would not be able to see the distant environment, but in this forest, starlight floated everywhere.
It was as if this was not the seabed, but a real forest on land, with beautiful fireflies flying everywhere.
Was that a kind of star beast?
Prince Bino said, "I didn't find any living things."
Jiang Xiao was stunned, pointing to the sky full of shimmering light, bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Prince Bino understood what Jiang Xiao meant, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Should it be the shimmering light emitted by this forest?"
Jiang Xiao grinned. Still a forest?
This wood, I'm afraid it would shatter at the slightest touch, and can it still emit light?
The group swam forward. This underwater world was different. The trees in the forest were not too tall, mostly about twenty meters, and not too lush.
"Be careful. If you touch them, these trees will shatter. Let's try not to damage the environment here. After we report back, let professionals come here to explore." As the group gradually approached the forest, Princess Sophia instructed.
"Yeah." Prince Bino said casually, carefully dodging the trees, also observing the towering trees with leaves, "Will they really shatter at the slightest touch? I think they're growing well, and the leaves are still very green."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xiao and Sophia, who had just entered the edge of the forest, suddenly stopped.
The two looked at each other, and Sophia suddenly said loudly, "Come back! Come back quickly!"
"Hmm?" Prince Bino was shocked, and without caring about anything, he hurriedly retreated.
Just as he was trying to get out, the trees suddenly changed shape. The trunks seemed to be able to extend infinitely, quickly rolling towards Prince Bino!
At the same time, the entire seabed forest "came alive", frantically growing, like countless thick vines, rolling towards everyone.
"Hey!" Prince Bino's body was like a flexible fish, dodging and maneuvering in the water, narrowly avoiding the sweep of the giant trees several times. Just as he was smiling coldly, feeling confident, a small vine quickly窜 out from the ground and wrapped around his ankle!
"¥#@!" Prince Bino's face changed, cursing, his trident quickly stabbing at the vines under his feet.
The moment his body was grabbed, the thick trees, like giant pythons, were extremely flexible, instantly binding Prince Bino, and still tightening.
"Ah!!!" Prince Bino cried out in pain, a large amount of bubbles came out of his mouth, his body was tightly缠紧 and绞的不成样子, and the trident in his hand slowly fell.
Juliet hurriedly stretched out her hands, and in an instant, the pain on Prince Bino's body eased slightly.
Jiang Xiao blinked, directly came to Prince Bino's side, grabbed the trident, and stabbed at the thick and flexible tree!
This time, it was a stab with gold-grade cyan light.
Prince Bino was bound by the vines and directly blasted into the ground.
The vines seemed to be in pain and quickly retracted.
Before Jiang Xiao and Prince Bino could move, they felt a torrent coming, and the two were quickly卷回 to Sophia's side.
"My god, my god..." Prince Bino trembled in pain, pressing his shoulder with one hand, and lifting it up fiercely.
Did he just reset his own bone?
Jiang Xiao hurriedly threw out a bell, shuttling back and forth over the two of them.
Looking into the distance, the quiet seabed forest was now boiling, the huge and straight trees, like giant pythons, swaying back and forth in the sea, seemingly demonstrating to the quartet!
No living things, ha?
If Jiang Xiao could speak, he would have thrown these words directly in Prince Bino's face.
"What are they guarding?" Sophia murmured softly to herself.
Prince Bino on the side had a resentful expression. Are you really my sister? Don't you care about me at all?
Juliet suddenly patted Sophia's shoulder and pointed to her own nose.
"Hmm?" Sophia's eyes lit up, seemingly understanding what Juliet meant, and said, "Let's try it."
Juliet nodded, hiding behind the three, slowly stretching out her hands.
*Ka-cha, ka-cha...*
The earth was tearing apart, and dust was flying!
Juliet was not a star martial artist of the earth or mud type, but she specialized in plants.
She was not tearing the earth, but forcibly uprooting the trees!
The trees near the edge of the forest suddenly swayed frantically,舞动着 back and forth.
One tree after another卷起滔天洪波, each one frantically growing, like huge whips,抽打而来 towards the group.
Sophia stretched out one hand, countless streams of water rotating in a vortex shape, spiraling upwards. Under the churning bubbles, Jiang Xiao saw a large net pieced together.
*Pa! Pa! Pa!*
The huge and flexible trees constantly whipped the "giant fishing net," and Sophia's posture changed from one hand outstretched to two hands outstretched.
*Ka-cha-cha!*
Several giant trees were finally uprooted by Juliet. At that moment, they seemed to have lost their lives!
The frantically swaying trees no longer moved, as if they had really turned into trees, shattered by the surrounding trees that had not yet been uprooted, and were painfully抽打.
Facts have proved that in a unique domain, there is a unique god.
At this moment, even the forest that was giving the two sea burial kings a headache was uprooted by Juliet, falling, dying, and breaking apart under the slapping.
The group advanced step by step, and Juliet was conquering the forest step by step.
The project was vast, but it could not stop the group's determination.
Juliet had always been a mascot in the team, but at this moment, she finally had a chance to发挥, and was willing to repay everyone for their care and protection along the way.
I don't know how long it took, but this forest finally had no "sound." They偃旗息鼓, seemingly turning into real wood, floating in the sea, scattered on the ground.
And as this forest陨落, the problem appeared again. The starlight that provided light to the sea also dissipated.
At this time, only the two sea soul lamps in the team provided light.
Prince Bino tilted his head slightly, carefully sensed for a moment, and said, "No living things."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao slowly swam to Prince Bino's side, reached out and turned his shoulder, facing Bino, and then... "Glugluglu!"
Sophia: "..."
Juliet: "..."
Jiang Xiao actually spat a face full of bubbles on Prince Bino...
Jiang Xiao used foam attack!
Prince Bino hurriedly floated backwards,挥散着 the bubbles with his hands, but his face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This time there really are no living things."
"Lead the way," Sophia said, signaling to Bino.
Bino had a resentful expression, but still swam over...
