67. Dive into the bottom of the sea
The vast sea is dark blue and the sun is dazzling.
After Kamakura in June, the nine groups gathered again. They stood on the sea and talked about the recent events and the upcoming competition.
"This year, there are no newcomers in our group, and there is no hope for newcomers to be rewarded." Ma Fang sighed.
"Even if there are new people, they can't get one." said the rabbit.
"Every year, there are groups one and two. This year, the third group has entered a twelve battles, and there may be hope." The monk who wears Buddha's hands together.
The rabbit glanced at him and laughed:
"Monk, you have always been so sincere. Yuan Qingsu stepped on Amitabha with his feet, but he practiced faster than you. I think you might as well just step on it."
"Amitabha." The monk sang the Buddha's name and still clasped his hands together.
"How did that kid practice?" A fat man wearing Hatsune mask held his double chin in his hand and thought, "It's only three months that he can defeat Sister Kasu. Did he eat the fruits of the spiritual tree?"
"Fatty, why have you changed your mask again? Haven't you worn this mask before?" The rabbit was responsible for intelligence and had a good memory.
"I've had an epiphany recently," said the fat man in a tone that is even more monk than a monk. "I can't favor my wife every four months, so from today on, I will only be my fan of Princess Hatsune."
No one answered his words.
The fat man wore a woman's mask called Tifa last time, and said that he had found true love and would never like others again.
But don’t look at the fat man like this, everyone agrees with him.
The reason he joined the ninth group was very strange to want to rely on his parents, in order to protect his hard-working parents.
After joining the Nine Groups, perhaps because of wearing a mask, I am not afraid of people when speaking, and I regard my practice as a game and I am very diligent.
After getting a salary, he not only supports himself, but also pays money to his family, becoming an active youth in the minds of most people.
"No need to say about the new team," said Youhua, who was wearing a black butterfly mask. "Our old team must work hard. If we can't get results this year, we have to pay for the team leader himself."
"Have you made any progress this year?" asked Ma Fang.
"Hmph~" The fat man put his hands on his hips, "My combat power has increased from 100 to 139. From today on, you will call me Turtle Fairy! Ah, I would have known that I would have been wearing Turtle Fairy Suit!"
He scratched his head alone there with regret.
"I have made some progress, but" the monk said halfway, and everyone understood what he meant.
"So too." said a man in a monkey mask.
Everyone said it one by one, the situation was similar and there was progress, but they were not sure to make it to the top ten of the elderly group.
"We are too weak. Sanqianzi is cheating on other team leaders, so neither the new team nor the old team can participate." Yuhua sighed.
"I will cheer for everyone." Yagyu Sanqianzi changed into a stitch mask and carried the pipa zither case, with a soft and nice voice.
The last time they fought against the witch together, and had a short time to escape, the people in the Nine Group already knew that Yagyu Sanqianzi was kind and weak, and they all accepted her and liked her.
"Why haven't the team leader come yet?" The rabbit looked into the direction of the four countries.
"Here you come." Yagyu Sanchiko said suddenly.
"Where?" Everyone looked at the coast, the sun shining brightly and saw nothing.
"Here." Ito saw Sayaga rising from the seabed, a blue water cover wrapped around her and Yuan Tiansu.
"Team leader!" Everyone shouted in unison, either happy or respectful.
"Yes." Ito saw Saya nodding and asked Chigo Hanyu, "Kamazu, are you here?"
"It's all." After saying that, Chigo Hanyu looked at Yuan Qingsu wearing a fox mask and a school sportswear.
As an external member of [Gaotianyuan], she knew this plan and felt indescribable.
Although his younger brother was killed by Yuan Qingsu, Yuan Qingsu not only let the nine groups go once, but now he is preparing to help them survive the war.
The saying that killing is not my purpose is Shinsu, once again came to Chieko Hanyu's mind.
"Team leader, who is this?" Rabbit pointed at Yuan Qingsu and asked.
The blue sportswear, the brand name on the chest was torn, and the long sleeves and trousers were like a high school student who slipped over the wall during physical education class.
She is thin, tall and looks quite pleasing to the eye.
"I'll introduce myself to the new person I've found." Itomi Sayaka said.
"Hello everyone, I'm a piss. I'm a first time meeting. Please take care of me." Yuan Qingsu's voice was probably three or four years younger.
"Wearing a fox mask, shouldn't you call a fox?" said Ma's face.
"Senior, your name is Ma?" Yuan Qingsu hesitated at his horse mask.
"His name is Ma Face." Miss Rabbit smiled sneered.
Yuan Qingsu's face was opened and her shoulders were shaking.
"Hey, are you laughing secretly?!" Ma Fang said annoyed.
"No!" Yuan Qingsu was right on her face. Although she couldn't see his expression, his seriousness could be seen from his straight back. "Senior Ma Face misunderstood, I definitely didn't laugh!"
The horse snorted, but he wasn't angry either. He was used to being ridiculed.
Who made him look for a horse mask because he had a long face, but he was called "horse face".
"Are you a high school student?" The fat man walked over and asked, stepping on the waves.
"Yes!" Yuan Qingsu replied loudly.
"What grade?"
"Senior high school!"
"I'm very energetic, what are your stunts?" asked the fat man.
"Special stunt?" Yuan Qingsu said in confusion.
“There are some special places for those who join Shinto.”
"Hmm" Yuan Qingsu scratched the back of her head, thought for a while, and said tentatively, "Can you recite the names of more than 500 Pokémons?"
After a brief silence, the fat man laughed nervously and patted Yuan Qingsu's shoulder intimately.
"From today, you are my little brother, I will protect you!"
"Zhiz," the rabbit couldn't help but say, "Fatty's 'stunt' means you are trying to protect who joins the Nine Groups."
"Oh, that's it, thank you Sister Rabbit." Yuan Qingsu hurriedly thanked.
"Let's go down first, it's so hot at sea." Yuhua pulled the collar of her clothes, revealing her white chest a little.
The sea is calm and the sun is scorching above your head. Even if you use divine power, it will not feel good.
"Let's go." As soon as Sayaka finished speaking, the blue water cover expanded and became larger like a balloon, gathering all the people in the nine groups.
The water cover sank into the water with everyone. The sea surface that was just lively just now was silent in a blink of an eye.
It sinks leisurely and is not rushing. Everyone admires the scenery spreading around and observes the flow of the sea.
The rabbit and the fat man surrounded Yuan Qingsu and introduced him to the members of the Nine Group one by one.
Everyone has a good personality, but they think that the piss has a close aura and have a good impression of him.
"Mr., how many years have you practiced?" asked the rabbit.
"Sister Mao asked me not to say it." Yuan Qingsu answered honestly.
The rabbit glanced at the team leader. She was wearing a white cat mask, but no one called her Cat Sister, and they all called her team leader.
"Do you know the new team competition?" Ma Fang was too lazy to stand and leaned against the water cover wall.
"Yeah." Yuan Qingsu nodded like a teenager, "I will work hard!"
"Just try your best, don't take it too seriously." said the fat man, "Some people in the group are very ruthless. First of all, I guarantee not to be injured."
"Thank you, Fatty!"
"Hmm!" The fat man raised his head back, and his chin was finally gone.
"Dongjun, why did you join the ninth group?" The rabbit worked tirelessly to inquire about the information.
"I like Sister Cat and want to pursue her, so I came."
"Huh" Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Thun." Ito saw Sayaka called out.
Yuan Qingsu stopped talking, and nine groups of men gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
If you don’t enter the world of practice and in a society where everyone is equal, everyone is timid about people who are too outstanding, let alone pursue a girl who is a fairy-level singer in the world of practice.
The blue water cover sank for a while, and the sunlight was as thin as a string of light, falling obliquely between the water waves, making it colder everywhere.
From time to time, fish are in groups, covering the sky and the sun, sometimes gathering together, and sometimes scattering.
Further down, the light completely disappeared and there was darkness around.
A sperm whale was croaking and swam past everyone.
The giant octopus fell from the sky, covered with suction cup tentacles, like meat balls.
The blue water cover neither slowed down nor accelerated. The giant octopus chased and dived for a thousand meters before letting go.
When they reached this depth, it seemed as if the world was destroyed, and they were walking in the darkness of nothing.
The fish here are different from the fish that are exposed to the aquarium. They are very wild and constantly attack the shield.
The most terrifying thing is not the fish that attack, but the fish that seem to be growing outside. They are close to the blue shield and stare at everyone with expressionless expressions, which makes people shudder.
"Every time I enter the seabed, I realize that the sunlight is the most precious thing to humans." Yuhua's voice was not loud, but it was so big that it was a bit harsh in the deep sea that had swallowed everything.
"I don't go out normally, and every time I go to the seabed, I have to go out to have a shower." The fat man didn't say anything, and suddenly held his breath.
In the darkness, a prehistoric mosaurus jumped out silently and bit the blue shield.
The sharp teeth scratched the blue shield, like the tip of a knife slashing through the metal, and the sound made the scalp numb.
"There are all animals that have been extinct in the Cretaceous period!" Yuan Qingsu opened his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid?" Yuhua couldn't help asking.
"Hmm?" Yuan Qingsu was staring at her eyes and came to her senses. "Ah" said, "I have liked these creatures since I was a child. If senior Butterfly is afraid, you can treat it as a Gyarado, a small saw crocodile, and a flying dragon."
"I can't understand the male high school student's thoughts." Yuhua shook her head.
Through the blue water cover, you can see the scales of Mosasaur very clearly, hard and smooth as if poured into fine iron.
The blue shield still did not accelerate or slow down, and it sank towards the seabed as if nothing had happened.
The mosasaur bit the blue ball tightly, like a fish that had bitten a hook, and was dragged down. Finally, it seemed that he finally realized that he couldn't eat it, so he let go of his mouth unwillingly.
When we reached the dark seabed, with the help of the divine power, we looked at the rugged sand and stones, as if they were a corner of the end of the world, and like the wreckage of thousands of troops.
The water is not turbid, it is just that there is no light, and the source decisive is already used to the darkness.
Three days before moving into the Shiratsuyama Shrine, there were always sounds of people walking and even coughing outside the dark house.
At that time, he would deliberately forget the Shen Lin Yuzi who was a thousand meters away and completely threw himself into the darkness.
There was something in his footsteps, and He was approaching. The more he thought of it, the colder he felt and the more excited he felt.
Because he knew that the more he was afraid now, the stronger he would become when dawn was dawn.
The blue shield walked under the water, crossed the wreckage of a shipwreck like a monster's corpse, climbed over a hill, and came to a trench.
The dark trench seemed to be a crack leading to the underworld, and the blue shield sank into it.
Through the darkness, at the bottom of the trench is a gorgeous temple composed of coral jungle, beautiful and dreamy.
In the temple, people came and went, and it was extremely lively.
The members of the Ninth Group breathed a sigh of relief, as if they came out of the village, walked for half an hour at night, and finally arrived at the night market on the street.
The blue shield entered the Coral Palace and automatically dissipated, and there was no water in the Coral Temple.
On the corridor along the way, many practitioners were setting up stalls, some selling weapons, some selling clothes, some selling intelligence, some selling debris that looked like rags, and even some selling pills.
Very few transactions can be made with money, most of which are bartered, and the spell is hard currency.
Some merchants wear masks, while others probably have been offered a reward from the official and are too lazy to wear them any more.
Yuan Qingsu even forgot about the competition. If Ito hadn't seen Sayaka dragging him, he would have squatted at the stall on the side of the road.
There are some official places that are more formal than this "cultivator shopping street", and there are Yinyang Laos, but he has a short time to practice and has no time to go to these places.
Shen Lin Yuzi didn't think he needed to waste time going to such places, wearing, using, and using the best.
The rabbit looked at him and said with a smile:
"The first time we came, everyone is like this, but it's useless to see it. I can't afford it at all. Look, most of us are still wearing ordinary clothes and we don't have any weapons."
"Mine, mine, are all mine, move them all back." Yuan Qingsu seemed to have not heard it, and he became addicted to collecting it.
"Another crazy." said the fat man.
"You're so embarrassed to say that others are crazy?" Ma Fang mocked him. "The first time I came here, I held the armor sold by three groups and refused to let go, which made us laughed at by other groups all day."
"Can I blame me? Who asked that man to make the armor look like a Gemini golden sacred suit? Who can resist this temptation? Do you think so, little brother?"
"My, this coral temple is mine."
"Brother, wake up."
When he walked into the palace, Yuan Qingsu seemed to be murmuring, "My, mine, yours are mine, and everyone didn't care about him."
Yuan Qingsu muttered in her mouth, her eyes observing every practitioner passing by.
I occasionally think about it: How can I let Shen Lin Yuzi and Ji Gong Shiliuye help him move the Coral Temple away from the street stall outside, but this temple really makes him want to collect it.
"Master, come here, I'll tell you some precautions for newcomers." Itami Sayaga said, and led the way to the front.
She whispered in his ear: "Since you're here, find a way to enter the top ten newcomers."
"This is not a matter of the organization. I still say the same thing: If you give one yen, I promise to solve your troubles." Genko stared at a street stall selling submarines with his eyes.
"Submarine! Submarine! Sold cheaply! The official has already cut the depth and dealt with it. I will never track it down. Please feel free to buy it!"
"You've been here for a while," Itoji Sayaga whispered, "I've learned a lot of spells from me, but isn't it enough?"
"Mantras are organized. I will teach you mantras and share your insights. Isn't there any charges?"
Ito saw Sayega glaring at him fiercely and said, "Okay, you are in the top ten and you will get 20% of the bonus."
“Eighth floor.”
"Why don't you rob the bank?"
"That's a crime, I never sin, I'm a good person."
"I am providing you with this opportunity. If you get 80% of the bonus, the bonus is equal to no, 2.5%."
"I lied to you, you are my girlfriend, how could I be so ignorant?" Yuan Qingsu's voice was filled with a smile.
"No money?" Itojian Sayaga asked.
"No, it's 80% of the people who lie to you, just two levels."
""
Itoshi Sayaka just got information from other groups of newcomers, roughly origins, spells, past battle records, etc.
She told Yuan Qingsu all about it.
"With your cultivation level, as long as you are not too lucky, you should be no problem entering the top ten," she said.
According to the plan, when Yuan Qingsu got the reward in the newcomer battle, he immediately notified Shen Lin Yuzi and asked them to launch an attack.
In this way, the battle between the old man who had no chance of winning could be cancelled. The nine groups divided the funds for the next year equally, which is Itami Sayaga's small conspiracy.
After explaining the information, it has already reached the entrance time.
The venue for the competition is similar to the Roman gladiatorium, and the ring in the middle is a huge deep pit.
The land in the sea is not valuable at all. In the deep pits, there are small lakes, grasslands, strange rock groups and cliffs.
The audience sat in circles, connecting the beginning and end, nine groups and one group were just close together, and the two group leaders chatted in one sentence.
Yuan Qingsu took a look and found that the team leader was a middle-aged lady with a beautiful appearance and plump figure, dressed in a noble Western style.
He recalled the information that Itami Sayaka said.
The leader of a group, Saeko Sara, is as famous as the witches of the Shuitian Palace. The members of the group are all male. The spells they practice are said to be the yang-replenishing yin passed down from China.
‘I don’t know if the Shuitian Witch, who claims to be Xiaoshui, has also practiced such a curse.’ Yuan Qingsu thought.
At this time, Sara Sara, who was asking about the June Kamakura Buddha incident, suddenly closed her eyes and sniffed it gently in the air.
"What's wrong?" Itojian Sayaga asked.
Saora Saora looked intoxicated and her eyes were watery when she opened again.
Chapter completed!
