Chapter 553 Deep Sea Stone Gate
"Don't be too nervous when it goes down. Remember to bite this into pieces and press it under your tongue. Don't spit it out."
The seafolk girl who had been taking care of Nale handed her a handful of strange herbs. She led Nale out of the hut where he was recovering from his injuries, and through the intricate underground passages to a huge puddle.
, the environment below the city of the people of the deep is very complex, because it is built on the edge of the sunless sea where huge waves are frequent. These inherently unstable houses are often destroyed, and they will rebuild new settlements on top of the buried ruins.
Point, repeat this cycle many times, and there will be a large hidden space underground on the coast, as well as many winding tunnels like ant nests. It will be difficult to get out of here without someone to lead the way.
Naile was actually at a loss. She was still recuperating peacefully. Now, although her movements were barely normal, she was not recovered very well, and her power of mind waves was still unavailable. At this time, she was secretly escorted by a group of sea people.
When they came out, the other party's attitude was very energetic. Naile had been wearing a traditional sea people's linen cloak since she came out, and she didn't reveal her head until she entered the tunnel.
The bottom of this cave is the large puddle that Naraku is seeing now. It is about five or six meters wide, and the bottom is pitch black and bottomless. It should be a secret passage connecting to the sea below. The sea folk girl took
She led Naraku to the edge of the pool, with several sturdy sea warriors following closely behind her. Naraku couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"It may feel a little uncomfortable when you first go into the sea. Just remember to stay calm. We will put a spell on you that is inherited by the people of the deep sea to ensure that you can breathe underwater. You may feel uncomfortable at first.
Breathe some water into your lungs, but you will get used to it soon. You need to swim a long way, so I hope you can persist." The sea folk girl took off Naraku's cloak and hung a necklace around her neck.
Then he muttered something in his mouth, dipped his fingers into a little bit of seawater and touched Naile's shoulders and forehead respectively.
"What happened?" Nale couldn't help but ask, "Why did you leave so suddenly? Didn't you already contact the college for someone to pick me up?"
"This..." The girl from the sea people was startled by Nale's sudden excitement. She lowered her head and said: "First... the leader received a report saying that an unknown signal was approaching the coast. We were worried that there was an enemy attack. In order to
To ensure your safety, Miss, I can only force you to leave from here."
"How could this happen..." Naile thought for a while, could he be someone from the Tribunal? Impossible. He had failed in the mission of Heaven's Book and he had returned to the vassal's territory. The Tribunal did not dare to take action in such a big way, even if the Tribunal
Jian Bu doesn't take the Hai People's power seriously, and the information will be sent back to his father whenever he shows up. Tian Jian will not take such a risk. It is only possible that people from other forces have heard the news, so they plan to take advantage of it, or take advantage of it.
It's someone from Shadow Crow, or it's the Death Star...
"Time is urgent. Please come with us and leave quickly. We don't know when the enemy will catch up." The girl from the sea people said to Nale anxiously.
"That's the only way it can be, but are you okay?" Naile is a little worried about their next situation. If they encounter a strong enemy, Sanguido's men will be hard to resist. If the danger arises because of him, Naile
Le felt even more guilty.
"Don't worry." The sea folk girl smiled slightly, "This is our homeland where we have lived for hundreds of years. No one is more familiar with this sea than us. Even if we can't defeat us, there is no problem in evacuating quickly. As long as we dive into the deep sea, there will be no problem.
People can find us.”
"After getting in touch with the college, I will come to your aid as soon as possible."
Naile made up his mind and stuffed the ball of plant into his mouth. According to the method the girl said, he bit the plant into pieces and pressed it under his tongue. The broken plant rhizome gave off a sweet and cloying taste, with some...
The unique fishy smell of water plants made my tongue start to feel numb.
The sea folk girl took Naraku's hand, and they both took a step forward, and then guided Naraku to jump into the pothole filled with sea water in front of them.
The touch of the seawater was very cold, and Naile immediately felt that her whole body was soaked. The coldness flowed along her skin to the ends of her hands and feet, and even gave her a feeling of freezing. This level of biting seawater was not enough for a sea dweller girl.
It was like ordinary water, but to Naile, it was like ice needles were piercing into the flesh little by little.
After swimming a certain distance, Naile was still holding her breath subconsciously. Swimming was not difficult for her. She was transported to the bottom of the sea by the strange book before, and Naile just swam up by using ionized water, but now she couldn't.
The only way was to use the power of light thought, so I had to hold my breath. The Sea Folk girl kept waving at Nale to express something, but Nale couldn't understand it at all.
In desperation, the girl spit out a bubble, which floated to Naile's ear and then burst. There was a wave of waves in Naile's ear.
"Miss Cornelia, can you hear my voice? Don't hold your breath and try to breathe, otherwise we won't be able to swim such a long distance." The voice of the sea dweller girl in the bubble was extremely gentle.
"..." Nale's face looked ugly. She resisted the fear of drowning and tried to stop holding her breath. However, the next second she choked on the water and instinctively coughed violently. The sea people girl immediately supported Nale.
, and patted her back gently, she slowly opened her mouth and recited some soft and long tune. Naile's body was covered with a layer of light, and the pain of choking on water quickly eased, and she began to be able to adapt to breathing.
After Nale calmed down, she let go of her and swam carefully next to Nale.
"You're okay, please continue to follow me downwards and try to stay away from the ground area."
"...Yeah." Nale nodded, trying to calm down his emotions.
There is a winding passage at the bottom of the cave. The walls on both sides are inlaid with many shining prismarines, which shine in the sun. A large number of strangely colored sea fish swim around in groups, and their bodies are translucent.
, the shape is also very strange, somewhat similar to the legendary sea elves, and they are not afraid when they see the sea people, and will even surround the sea people girl.
The group of people swam for almost twenty minutes. It was obviously the first time for the Sea Folk girl to come here. She looked around and observed the surrounding environment. At the same time, she kept reminding Naile to be careful. Her speed became slower and slower.
It seemed that they were looking for something. After turning a few corners, Naile finally noticed that buried under the sea mud under their feet was a huge stone tablet. Only a small part was exposed. The content carved on the stone tablet was very complicated.
, it seemed that Naile couldn't understand what words it was, but the girl from the sea people stared at the stone tablet carefully and chanted something repeatedly.
Suddenly, the seafloor mud below began to vibrate, and the surrounding seawater began to flow rapidly. Soon, several turbulent vortices appeared around the surroundings. The vortexes pushed the seawater to the surroundings, and the sea mud was gradually washed away by the seawater, exposing the
The original appearance of the stone monument is revealed, and there is an opening like a gate in the center of the huge stone monument.
"Please come with me." The Sea People girl once again used bubbles to communicate with Naile. This time, the Sea People warriors did not continue to follow. It seems that their escort only lasted this journey, and then only
This girl led the way for Naraku.
Naile nodded, and then followed the seafolk girl to climb up the stone gate. The stone gate was carved with simple patterns, and it looked like it had an unknown age. The other side of the stone gate was as blue and deep as another ocean.
And there was nothing. Nale hesitated at the door for a while, and the sea folk girl patted her gently, and then the two of them swam in the door together.
As soon as he entered the door, there was a kind of heat rushing towards his face. After swimming a little further, Naile emerged from the water. The bright sunshine was shining from his head. Naile squinted his eyes for a long time to adapt to it before he completely opened his eyes.
It is a shallow sea in the center of a small island, inside a crescent-shaped bay, far away from the Sunless Sea... It seems that the stone gate is a very ancient teleportation device, and has always been used by the people of the deep sea as a backup channel for escape.
, there may be many such devices, so they can come and go freely in the huge ocean, so Naraku doesn't have to worry about how they can escape from the threat of powerful enemies.
"Just wait here. The people from the college will come back to pick you up soon." The girl from the sea people smiled and helped Nale to the shore. Her eyes smiled into a beautiful crescent moon. Nale waved her hand to signal her.
Okay, then she stepped onto the soft beach. When she returned to the air, she finally breathed freely and sat on the beach to take a breath.
"Is there anyone on this island?" Naile asked. Although she was not sure, the fact that the sea dweller girl could send her to this place was enough to prove that this island was definitely not dead.
"Yes, there is a sacrifice to the sea god here." The girl from the sea people lowered her head and bowed respectfully.
"Sacrifice?"
"Well, she has no sea people. She was already here before we entered the Sunless Sea. According to the records of our ancestors, she once helped us, but the priest's temper is very weird. You'd better not contact her at will.
As long as we are on this island, the enemy will be wary if they want to enter."
"It's the Immortal again..." Nale touched his chin and muttered.
"What?"
"It's nothing..." Nale shook his head and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. I've been taking care of you these days, and I will reward you generously in the future."
"Eh?" The girl from the sea people raised her head in surprise, and grabbed the collar of her clothes with some excitement: "Heavy... heavy reward... No need, I just followed the leader's order, this is my duty."
"Anyway, the Asberns don't owe anyone any favors. What's your name?"
