Time went back to ten hours ago, and the shadow wings behind Zhang Heng disappeared, and there were still several half-human, half-hyla monsters hanging on his body.
After that, Zhang Heng's body also fell into the seawater again under the action of gravity.
His arrival also made the monsters below who were waiting to see through completely boiled up, as if it was the signal for the start of the carnival, all the monsters rushed up like crazy. In less than half a second, not only Zhang Heng's sight was blocked, but also his arms, chest, back, legs... there were monsters everywhere.
The monster behind arrived too late and had no place to hang himself, so he could only lie on his companion's body, so Zhang Heng was finally wrapped up layer by layer.
Under such circumstances, even if Zhang Heng took out Betty's shell, it was useless, because the two sides were too close.
But what surprised Zhang Heng was that the monsters didn't attack him immediately after jumping on him. On the contrary, they carefully put away their teeth and nails, as if they were afraid of accidentally hurting him.
At the same time, he took Zhang Heng all the way down.
Zhang Heng couldn't see his diving computer now, but he could feel their depth dropping rapidly.
At the same time, Zhang Heng was silently estimating the amount of compressed air remaining in the gas cylinder, which was probably only a few bars, and such a small amount of air would be enough for him to breathe for another two minutes at most.
Even counting the time he spent holding his breath, the situation became very grim.
Even with Zhang Heng's usual calmness, he had to admit that his chances of making a comeback were slim this time.
Another minute and a half later, Zhang Heng obviously felt that his breathing had become a little labored. Even if the monsters let him go, the remaining air would not be enough for him to swim back to the surface of the sea.
But at this time, Zhang Heng completely calmed down.
He relaxed his body, stopped struggling, and let those monsters lead him to an unknown distance.
After about half a minute later, Zhang Heng found that he finally stopped, and at the same time, the monsters lying on him seemed to be decreasing.
When the monster blocking his vision also swam away, Zhang Heng saw the familiar scene again.
He is now back in that underwater palace again.
However, it is different from when he came here. Now he is leaning against the dome in the center of the palace, not far away are the two empty thrones, and behind him is the huge stone carving like an astrolabe.
The group of half-man, half-fish-frog monsters who had brought him had retreated by now.
Looking up at him from a slightly lower place, it seems that they are still surrounded by them because they are afraid that Zhang Heng will escape.
But Zhang Heng felt that they were completely overwhelmed, because now his diving computer was alarming frantically.
The compressed air in the cylinder has been completely exhausted.
In other words, Zhang Heng can't go anywhere now, he can only stay in this huge underwater palace and wait to die.
The good news is that at least his death was very lively, with many... monsters watching. The bad news is that until the last moment of his life, Zhang Heng could not see the real master here, the two guys on the throne.
Zhang Heng suspected that at least one of them had something to do with his previous experience in that gloomy seaside town.
But none of that matters now.
Because of the lack of oxygen, Zhang Heng's consciousness began to become blurred. He finally looked at the huge astrology map behind him. He wondered if it was a hallucination before death. Zhang Heng felt that the astrology map was slowly turning.
Zhang Heng wanted to watch it again, but his body couldn't allow it anymore, so Zhang Heng used his last bit of strength to take off the respirator in his mouth, and then closed his eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Heng felt as if he had returned to his mother's womb.
It was a feeling of immense peace and security.
He no longer needs to breathe through his nose and mouth, as if there is an invisible expectation connecting him with this sea, and the whole sea has become his placenta.
Zhang Heng even had an illusion that compared to the land, the sea is his real hometown.
The azure sea water wraps him gently, every pore of his is stretched in the water
He had even forgotten the passage of time.
Zhang Heng originally thought that this was the last hallucination of his life when the brain was hypoxic to the extreme, because it is said that all life on earth originated from the ocean, and human beings are no exception, so when death comes, the soul returns to the place where it started Maybe it's also something that can be said.
But when Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, he found that he had neither entered heaven nor fell into hell, but was still staying in this underwater palace.
The difference is that the strong suffocation caused by the lack of oxygen has disappeared, replaced by the wonderful fetal breath feeling before.
Zhang Heng hesitated, and then took off the mask on his head. As a result, his eyes did not feel any irritation or discomfort.
Zhang Heng noticed those half-human, half-fish-frog monsters nearby, and when he saw him open his eyes again, they all showed a look of joy on their faces.
However, they did not give way, but still formed a circle, with Zhang Heng in the center.
At the same time, the star map on the dome is still moving slowly, which is very different from when Zhang Heng first came to this underwater palace.
Zhang Heng vaguely noticed that the changes in his body might be inseparably related to the rotating astrology chart behind him. It stands to reason that this astrology chart gave him the ability to breathe and move underwater. Zhang Heng should wait. Here, wait for it to finish spinning.
But there was a warning sign in Zhang Heng's heart.
If he really waited until this astrological chart stopped, then very bad things would probably happen afterwards.
So Zhang Heng made a decisive decision and decided to leave the underwater palace.
He took out [Betty's Shell] from his pocket. He hadn't found a chance to use this item before, but now it can finally come in handy.
Soon the originally calm sea became irritable, and Han Lu in the hotel on the other side also received a notification from the front desk, telling her that there was likely to be heavy rain tonight, and she was asked to close the doors and windows.
The original function of [Betty's Shell] is to consume anger to create a storm at sea, but no matter how powerful the storm is, as the depth of the sea increases, the energy will quickly decay until it disappears.
But this time, when Zhang Heng used [Betty's Shell] again, he found that he didn't need to provide much anger at all, and the range of effect was extended from the sea to the sea.
Zhang Heng could even direct the ocean current to blow the nearby half-man, half-fish-frog monsters upside down. A gap was exposed in the originally extremely tight encirclement net. Zhang Heng didn't miss this opportunity and rushed out directly by a sea current.
