A bright light gradually approached, and everyone gathered at the front of the water vesicle to look at the distant scenery curiously. When the eyes beyond ordinary people adapted to the surrounding environment, the mysterious deep-sea scenery finally appeared to the land visitors. in front of you.
Lily and Elizabeth couldn't help letting out a suppressed exclamation: "Wow—"
I saw the flat white sand in the deep sea spreading endlessly, and a large number of spherical devices emitting shimmering light were suspended in the water, forming strips of light like roads. And in the center surrounded by these light strips is a huge city.
The city is oval in shape, and its appearance is like a gorgeous shell piled up on top of each other. There is a towering luminous wall on the edge of the city. The wall is made of some kind of light white artificial material, and it is inlaid with light green crystal decoration. On the wall, you can see a half-moon-shaped guard plate inclined inward at intervals, faintly The rays of light extended from the half-moon shield, and finally extended and merged into a shell like a shield, covering the entire city. On the inner side of the city wall, you can see a large number of tower-like structures with different heights. These "towers" are beautifully shaped like some kind of artistically exaggerated shellfish. A huge luminous bead can be seen on each tower. , the rays of light they emit illuminate the city as bright as day, and also illuminate the waters near the city in every detail.
Everyone who saw this deep-sea city for the first time was amazed at the wonders under the sea, but Hao Ren began to subconsciously analyze the shape of the city as if he had an occupational disease: "The fully enclosed structure, those metal guards And the shield completely covers Narthon, it seems... ”
"What's wrong?" Vivienne asked from the side.
"It's not like a normal city," Hao Ren shook his head slightly. "It's difficult to expand the city if it's closed like this. To build it, you have to demolish the old walls, or they planned the eternal form of the entire city from the very beginning. , I don’t plan to expand it at all. Sea monsters are not afraid of water, their city is filled with water, why use this barrier to wrap Nasathorn completely?”
"To defend against foreign enemies?" Vivian frowned. "In ancient times, there were many completely enclosed city-states like this, and the 'divine city' built by other types always used to protect themselves with shields. Of course, modern humans no longer use city walls to protect themselves."
"Even the city wall is not so tightly enclosed. And do a group of deep-sea overlords need to defend against foreign enemies?" Hao Ren asked back, "Who can come to this place from the surface race? Who can threaten the sea from the small animals that can come to this place?" Demon?"
"We'll figure it out after we go in," Y'zaks interrupted his discussion with Vivienne, "We're almost touching the bottom of the sea."
Hao Ren nodded, took out a lot of life-support collars from the portable space and distributed them one by one: "Take these, just in case, the sea monsters of Nasathorn won't welcome us."
Then he looked up at Hasselblad: "Do you three need it? This thing allows you to breathe in water. Shakira and Soma may not have time to protect you in case of accident."
"Demon hunters have the ability to move in deep water," Hasselblad waved his hand, "I'm not used to using these things."
Hao Ren shrugged and called "Roll" over to put the collar on her. He suddenly felt that he shouldn't bring this stupid cat with him: Although she had eaten golden apples, she should have some supernatural powers in theory, but this guy... can it really be used? This guy wasn't even as big as the world Doudou had ever seen.
But after thinking about it, anyway, if he is in danger, he can just throw this stupid cat into the portal and send it to the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, or simply throw it into his personal space to avoid the limelight, so he doesn't worry about it up.
"Roll" happily touched the new collar on his neck. She thought it was a gift for herself, but seeing her expression, Hao Ren knew that it would be impossible to get this collar back in the future. The cat girl was still rubbing against Hao Ren's arm: "Big cat, you wear a collar too? You know this is fun too? I'm going to walk you in the future too?"
Hao Ren said that he didn't have time to continue studying the world view with this cat, so he pushed the cat girl away: "Remember what I told you before going out. We are going on an adventure, you have to be honest and obedient. Just watch what we do. If you really can't I threw you back."
The cat girl nodded quickly to express her understanding.
The water vesicle slowed down, slowly approaching the mysterious deep sea city, and hovered over the light belt near Nasathorn. Afterwards, the vesicles shattered silently, and the seawater filled in, which were isolated from the body by everyone's shields or magic effects. Shakira silently swam towards a large black stone nearby, and beckoned everyone to pass by. Through the magic effect, she allowed the small team to talk in the water: "See those glowing lights in front? They are ours. The dividing line between the city and the wilderness. Usually there should be many sea monsters coming out here to relax... but now there is no one."
"There's a tense and depressing atmosphere here, and I can smell something negative." Y'zaks frowned. "Perhaps your queen has banned ordinary sea monsters from going out."
Lily stretched her neck and looked around for a long time. Suddenly pointing at the sky directly above Nasathorn: "What is that?!"
Hao Ren looked in the direction of Lily's finger, and found that there was a faint light blue film on a very high place above the city, and outside the film was an unprecedentedly large vortex—the vortex was translucent, like some kind of projection Usually, however, the data terminal indicated that the phantom vortex is gradually becoming materialized after remote sensing. It may have been activated for a month, and it may not be long before it becomes fully materialized.
The scale of the vortex was almost the same as that of the city below. Hao Ren looked at the weird scene in astonishment, and couldn't imagine what this thing was for, but obviously only a lunatic would make such a thing in his own home!
"That...that's the position of the big wall!" Shakira was startled when she saw the vortex, and couldn't help but spit out a bunch of bubbles when she spoke, "There's a space door outside the big wall?!"
"Your general mentioned a maelstrom before he passed out. I'm afraid that's what he was talking about," Bai Huo said suddenly. She tried her best to remain silent all the way to maintain her attitude as a "normal witcher". Seeing the maelstrom at this time, I couldn't help but say, "This thing... what are you planning to do?!"
"We don't know," Soma recovered from the astonishment, "No, we must enter the city immediately. The maelstrom needs the magic power of an unknown number of people. Her Majesty must have extracted a lot of energy from this planet... No, or even worse...”
"Okay, so who has a plan now?" Y'zaks asked in a low voice, "Nazaton should be heavily guarded now, we will enter the city quietly, and then quickly control it without alerting the guards Siren Queen, if possible—it’s best to control all her close subjects by the way. We also need to prevent them from activating something that will kill them together when they are in a hurry, such as detonating the big vortex. I can feel that the power in that vortex is no greater than The forbidden curse that tore the Demon King’s City from the Obsidian Plain back then is weak, once it blows up, we can’t guarantee how many will survive, and we won’t even give you reaction time.”
"In addition, we need to control that giant brain," Hao Ren reminded. "This is the most important thing. The Siren Queen is just a puppet. I don't know how many such puppets there are."
Hasselblad originally just listened indifferently, but after hearing that these aliens really wanted to prevent this crisis, he also joined the discussion: "The most appropriate solution is to control them at the same time, or even more simply, kill the brain instantly, Capture the queen alive. I just heard from Shakira that you fought against that giant brain? Do you know what it is? How effective is it?"
"A monster from...an alien planet, floating and moving, with a speed equivalent to the limit of human beings. It has more than a dozen tentacles. It has strong limb strength and can use its tentacles to cast space spells, but the most troublesome thing is its mind control. , it can shake people with extremely strong willpower, and the longer the battle lasts, the more deeply it will be affected," Hao Ren thought about his words, "I only killed one...something like a clone, and I didn't know its real body How strong can it be?"
Hasselblad listened silently, and finally nodded: "It seems that confrontation will be very troublesome, if you can sneak attack, sneak attack."
"The biggest problem now is how to enter the city." Hao Ren breathed out, looked up at Nasathorn, and turned to look at Shaqila after a while, "I can only look at yours." (To be continued~^ ~)
