Endless route

Chapter 226 65. Ancient drama [Please subscribe]

In just one sentence, the other three had already grabbed the handrails of the pulley equipment, drilled out of the hole in the dome of the fifth-floor stone corridor along the steel cable, and completely disappeared from Zheng Yun's sight.

Two ghosts will follow.

Zheng Yun didn't care about anything else and immediately swam forward. When he reached the cave and looked up, he saw that the three people were moving too fast and had already reached the stone corridor on the sixth floor.

The ghost will be dragged down by them.

Fortunately, Noriichi and others also acted at the same time. They quickly ran towards the corner from the stone corridor on the tenth floor, which was not flooded by sea water, and should be able to catch up halfway.

Look down.

The jellyfish had turned into fragments, and its long tentacles were scattered all over the stone corridor, hanging on the walls and swaying left and right with the water flow. The broken porcelain bottles sank on the floor tiles, and many evil things dripped out of the porcelain bottles and scattered in the sea water.

The scene was horrifying.

Fortunately, jellyfish are transparent and colorless instead of blood red. Otherwise, this cruel scene of dismemberment would be enough to make ordinary people unable to eat for three days, and they would automatically recall it every night.

There were many fragments among them, which were blown up to Zheng Yun and others. In addition to the jellyfish, there were also some evil fragments.

Don't have time to care about these little things.

Zheng Yun turned around and looked at the ghost pupa behind him. It was still squirming on the ground. It was a faceless porcelain white figurine with an oriental fantasy aesthetic. It had a weird and terrifying way of escaping from its pupa.

It is obviously a pupa.

But they are exactly the same as humans.

You can see it more clearly from a close distance. The proportions of its limbs are exactly the same as those of a human being, as if there is a real person hidden inside.

It seems to be waking up soon.

But Zheng Yun had no clue about it. He had no idea what methods it could use or what changes it would make. He couldn't even imagine what it was.

Just looking at this evil ghost chrysalis made Zheng Yun feel chills on his back. What kind of evil thing did Haiwei suppress in the first place?

The Yin Ghost pupa we saw before was more than six meters long. This Yin ghost pupa is only four meters long, which is completely smaller. However, it probably still has the ability to shed some kind of evil thing.

What will it shed? Maybe in the next moment, my vision will go dark for no reason...

"Walk."

Zheng Yun quickly swam upward.

If there was still time to strike Yin Gui Chrysalis with a sword, then the moment the three opponents appeared, the last chance had been lost, and he could not turn around and commit suicide.

This thing is weird.

Go first.

After giving the order, Zheng Yun directly grabbed the steel cable upward without looking back, while Yin Gui Pupa waited and dealt with it later.

Look up.

Ji Dao and others' flashlights were already shining outside the stone corridor. Licia and Kedester still remembered their instructions and threw search bombs everywhere under the sea desperately.

The water is transparent and reflected light blue.

The matte stone corridor finally became brighter.

The light source is reflected from the deep sea whirlpool that sweeps up the wreckage of the pontoon, and shines brightly and dimly into the window railing of the stone corridor.

The sea water reflects mottled light and shadow, and the sparkling water patterns are reflected in the deep stone corridor. The texture of light and shadow is as soft as water waves, just like the moonlight soaking the blue bricks, and it seems that there are layers of sea in the sea.

But no one cared to appreciate it.

The two sides chased each other fiercely in the deep-sea stone corridor. The wreckage and debris outside the fence were surrounded endlessly. The bronze door continued to spray floating boats, and ghost pupae escaped one after another. The atmosphere became increasingly thrilling.

See with the help of light.

The three opponents floated up to the seventh floor of the stone corridor near the sea, nearly 200 meters away from them. The ghost general had just left the sixth floor and was thrown away by them by nearly 100 meters.

Zheng Yun used buoyancy to swim upstream with all his strength.

The other party has seen the light source and knows that someone is blocking it, so they are likely to change their route. Although there is not much room for them to escape, they will never throw themselves into death.

that's enough.

They have been hiding in the deep sea, probably waiting for an opportunity to borrow steel cable equipment to reach the top of the stone corridor, directly bypass the blockade, and climb above themselves to escape completely.

This incident sends chills down the spine.

I almost let them escape!

Fortunately, Kedester and Licia had been watching around the corner and had just climbed out of the sea with the help of steel cables. They were also wearing identical ghost cloaks, making it difficult to tell each other apart.

Maybe they had been keeping an eye on Kedester and Licia in the dark, but they didn't have the courage to confront the Ghost Secretary, and they didn't dare to gamble on their weak chance of survival, so they chose to wait slowly in the corner.

Totally understandable.

The Ming Dynasty Sea Guards are so famous that just the skin of this ghost cloak is enough to make them stay away and dare not move rashly, because after all, this is a matter of life and death, not joking.

A moment of reflection.

Zheng Yun also chased him to the sixth floor.

The other three suddenly let go, dropped the steel cable equipment as expected, and used the propeller to swim into the seventh-floor stone corridor.

"The three of them fled into the seventh floor. The sea water will soon rise to the tenth floor. You blockade at sea and watch carefully." Zheng Yun immediately informed everyone of the situation.

Only the last two or three floors remain.

The culprit can be killed.

"Don't worry, Master Immortal. Today I will never fail to make a single contribution. I will definitely kill one person with my own hands to satisfy the hatred in my heart."

Ji Dao shouted and walked to the fence, staring sharply at the sea. As long as he didn't go into the sea, he would still be the Taoist Master of Tiangong.

"Take your time, be careful when a dog jumps over the wall."

Zheng Yun warned him and slowed down, waiting for the ghost general to enter the seventh floor before following him.

Although the earth shook and the mountains shook with loud noises, there were still occasional screams from the whirlpool outside the fence. The screams were hoarse and desperate, and they were sometimes far away and sometimes close.

The man was not dead until now.

And his presence was a warning, so that the last few people did not dare to make the same mistakes again, and did not dare to flee towards the whirlpool.

After a while.

Zheng Yun climbed to the seventh floor.

A deep stone corridor appeared in front of us, with dappled water light pouring in. There were several pontoon beams covered with green whiskers in front of us. The entire ancient oriental building immersed in the deep sea was completely silent.

It was indeed hidden.

The ghost general also lost his target.

Zheng Yun took a deep breath and raised his hand, and the two ghost figures beside him quietly floated up to the blind spot of light at the top of the stone corridor, blending into the dim shadows on the top of the corridor and moving forward quietly.

Searching every inch.

Never miss it.

Every darkroom, every fork in the road, every pavilion between the stone corridors must be searched carefully!

Not only is Jidao familiar with the stone corridors of Tiangong, but Zheng Yun has also been staying in Tiangong every day recently and is also familiar with the structure.

Walk slowly along the stone corridor.

Zheng Yun turned around and looked behind him. There were two ghost generals guarding him at all times, but the two behind him were a little slower.

No problem at first glance.

The ghost general followed closely behind him, lifting up a corner of his ghost cloak and holding a long and narrow ghost sword at his waist. Although he was under the sea, it was no different from Zheng Yun's usual stroll in the heavenly palace.

But the second sight made my heart stop.

The ghost general on the left is fine, but the ghost general on the right is holding something in his hand, which is all white in the dim light, like a child holding a kite that cannot fly.

This kite is in human form.

It's four meters long.

Floating up and down in the sea water.

"..."

Zheng Yun suffered a myocardial infarction for a moment.

This thing is actually a ghost pupa! The ghost general actually held the Yin ghost pupa in his hand like a kite! And he kept holding it behind him from beginning to end.

Observe carefully.

The kite string is the slender iron chain captured from the iron box just now, and the other end is tied around the neck of Yin Gui Pupa.

What's happening here?

This kind of leash method is commonly used by little girls in the Jinhuai Road community to leash small dogs. Even the demon dogs in Tiangong can't stand this kind of shame and humiliation. If they don't change to a thick iron chain, they will go on a hunger strike for three days.

But at this moment, the ghost general actually used this thin chain to tie the Yin ghost pupa, and the latter was led without any objection.

What about acting?

Triton used a pontoon to block Yin Gui Pupa, and used an iron rope as thick as an arm. If such a thin iron chain could lead Yin Gui Pu around, why would Triton have to go to all the trouble?

There must be something wrong.

There must be a reason for the ghost general's actions. Since it dares to lead the Yin Ghost Chrysalis, it must have its own reason. Perhaps this Yin Ghost Chrysalis is really a ghost figurine from the Ghost Suppression Division, and it belongs to home.

Ji Dao said it before.

The Yin Ghost Warriors are a ghost-suppressing technique. They seem to be able to worship ghosts from the underworld in the figurines. Once they are sacrificed, they will remain immortal for hundreds of years. From their appearance to their uses, they are extremely weird.

But if we take a closer look at this moment, we can see that the ghost general is wearing a cloak and holding a faceless human figurine that is as white as jade. Looking from a distance, it looks like it is holding an underworld ghost. The style of painting matches it quite well...

"It won't hurt us?"

Zheng Yun frowned and asked the ghost general.

The ghosts were motionless, but Zheng Yun probably knew that they were laughing, which was a definite answer.

Then just hold it.

In fact, if you think about it, there is some mystery. The deep-sea floating ships are separated from the four sides of the deep-sea floating city. They are densely packed layer after layer, and the ability before they shed their pupae is to make people commit suicide.

The researcher once said that the ghost pupa is a kind of undersea creature with an extremely long pupal stage. In order to resist the attacks of predators, it has evolved a neurotoxin over hundreds of millions of years.

Any living creature with nerves.

Will be infected by toxins and commit suicide.

There are two key details here.

First, this method is ineffective against closed diving suits, but there were no diving suits in ancient times, which means that almost all marine life and ancient humans would be affected to commit suicide.

Wherever the ghost pupa goes.

Within the range of its own toxin secretion and the diffusion range of the toxin, almost no living thing can survive!

Second, there is an exception, and it may be the only exception, and that is deep jellyfish. Most jellyfish have no nerves at all. Since they don’t have nerves, why are they afraid of neurotoxins?

So the pleasure jellyfish they saw here is probably the only creature here that can escape the effects of the poison.

That is to say.

As long as the pontoon sealing the Yin Ghost Pupa lies across the deep sea, there will be no living creatures near three thousand meters below the sea. Only jellyfish can pass through this section of the sea and transport porcelain bottles up and down.

Think about it from this perspective.

The deep-sea floating ship may be an array of ships. Once this array is completed, no living creature can approach the deep-sea floating city. At least in ancient times, this conclusion is completely tenable.

"wrong!"

Zheng Yun suddenly woke up.

The deep-sea pontoon is probably not used to seal off evil objects at all, or even quite the opposite. The pontoon and the ghost chrysalis are used by the Triton to seal off the floating city.

How appalling!

I originally thought that the suppression of the three thousand meters deep sea was powerful enough, but I didn't expect that there were even more ruthless methods around.

The Triton Guards actually took advantage of the characteristics of the Yin Ghost Chrysalis to build a vast array of ships under the sea. Countless ancient ships stood in the deep sea like dead whales, completely blocking the deep sea floating city inside and out.

What kind of shocking method is this?

In ancient times, this method was unrivaled in the world. Even if there were immortals in the floating city, it would be impossible to escape from the deep sea.

But if you put it this way.

What exactly is being held in the deep-sea floating city? What kind of thing forced Triton to use such drastic measures?

Deep water pressure.

Lightless seabed.

A large array of floating boats.

Blessed by ghost figurines.

All kinds of restrictions are superimposed on each other. What is worthy of Haiwei to go to war and seal it forever?

To put it bluntly, if the prisoners here were himself and Ji Dao in ancient times, they would have died under the sea long ago. If they had not been crushed to death by the water pressure, they would have been poisoned by the Yin Ghost Chrysalis and committed suicide.

Think of this.

Zheng Yun subconsciously looked at his feet.

At this moment, in the dark sea seven hundred meters below the stone corridor, behind the bronze door that had burst the embankment, there was only a wall separated by the deep sea floating city.

The array of boats that blocked the floating city had been turned into a mess by the shocking water pressure and the huge amount of sea water. The floating boats near the bronze gate had even been chopped into pieces.

The bronze door was spewing debris.

Every piece is the key to sealing the floating city.

As the scope of the breach in the Bronze Gate becomes larger, perhaps sooner or later, the iron cables of the floating city in the deep sea will fail in the collapse, and the floating city will be carried into the breach by the current.

Maybe in some shock.

The deep-sea floating city will hit the breach, and then reveal a hideous and terrifying corner of the city in the deep, lightless seabed.

"..."

Zheng Yun took a deep breath.

He didn't know if his guess was right or wrong, but after exploring to this point and integrating all the clues, I'm afraid there is only one answer to the matter.

All jellyfish have porcelain bottles inside their bodies. This is the first clue seen, because only they can reach the surface of the sea.

at this point.

It’s useless to think of anything else.

Now I am just making the last assumption for emergencies. If the evil thing sealed in the deep-sea floating city by Triton is still alive, then it must have several basic abilities.

It can live on the ocean floor for hundreds of years.

It can survive extreme water pressure.

It may be immune to the Yin Ghost Pupa. The Yin Ghost Pupa only prevents other creatures from getting close to it, but it has no effect on itself.

But it may not be able to withstand the Yin Ghost Pupa. Triton uses the Yin Ghost Pupa to spread out the ship array in order to poison it at all times.

If in this case.

It can still survive until this moment.

Then it is very likely that it has the ability to resurrect. No matter whether it has committed suicide thousands or tens of thousands of times in the dark deep sea cage over the past few hundred years, it can be resurrected after death...

Tell the truth.

From the perspective of Triton, Zheng Yun felt that the possibility of this guess was extremely high because the logic was almost closed.

This is the place where immortals are imprisoned.

The scale and means are astonishing.

The evil object at the core of the cage must have the same shocking ability before it can be banned forever by Triton.

If only it could kill.

Triton had already killed him with one blow.

Only those who are really unkillable will be blocked and suppressed by the sea guards, and they will continue to be poisoned with ghost pupae.

"..."

Zheng Yun sighed softly.

Whenever he explores the ruins of Triton, he will have the illusion that he is not the Immortal Supervisor at all, but an ordinary modern person who has glimpsed Triton's methods.

Every dangerous place.

They are all like living fossils.

Through continuous exploration, you can get a glimpse of the ancient Tritons, experience the confrontation between the ancient Tritons and strange gods and ghosts, see the shocking abilities of the gods, ghosts and evil creatures, and see how superior the Tritons are.

It was like two masters fighting in front of him. One side was a strange god and ghost, and the other side was a Ming Dynasty sea guard. Both sides' methods were weird and shocking.

It's hard to imagine what this evil thing did in ancient times, and it's also hard to imagine how the original Triton won in the end.

They fought shockingly.

It is extremely terrifying to take action at will.

I am just a spectator, but the small bench is closer, and I can even sit half-assed on the stage. I can reach out and touch the traces, and feel it in more detail.

Of course that's the price of watching the show.

He needs to clean up after the play is over. Even if the two parties on the stage are in a mess, he still has to take out a broom to sweep the floor clean after the play is over, and then pick up some of the tricks used by the ancients. Be a baby.

In addition, the troublemakers were caught.

Just like the three people in front.

Zheng Yun lowered his eyelids slightly and looked towards the end of the stone corridor. Haiwei had found the other three and forced them out!

It ends in three chapters.
