Chapter 425: The wonderful world below the island
crashed -
in the quiet underground space, a beam of white light suddenly pierced the dark and low air, and at the same time, there was the sound of water hitting it.
Underground near the center of the island.
Ronald and Halbes left the underground waterway one after another and stood in an underground space deep in the island. From encountering the hunter to finding a waterway to enter here, the two of them had a smooth journey.
Not to mention dangerous creatures like the Hunters.
I have never encountered anything remotely hostile.
At this time, he was standing in a dark underground cave. Half of Ronald's calves were still buried in the water, but his upper body was finally free from the smell of the sea.
Illumination provided by the flashlight held by the mermaid beside me.
Ronald's eyes quickly glanced around.
——Things are a little strange.
Standing here, he can breathe unimpeded, and can vaguely detect the flow of air in the space. The underground space where he is currently located should have a direct connection with the outside world.
However, the depth here...
is below the island, far below sea level.
Under normal circumstances, seawater should definitely spread up and flood this well-ventilated underground space, instead of being like a pool of stagnant water without any movement.
Ronald was now sure that there was no obvious magic fluctuation around him.
What exactly is going on?
"..."
The mermaid lady on the side noticed Ronald's slightly wrinkled eyebrows.
She also looked around, and when she realized the other party's worries, she immediately said,
"Wuling people, don't worry."
"The seawater is in a very stable state, and we will not encounter danger from the current."
"..."
Looking at Halbes who spoke firmly beside him, Ronald opened his mouth.
He was a little curious about how the mermaid lady learned this kind of information. As a life that lives in the ocean, it is understandable to have such an ability. But after thinking about his purpose of sneaking into this island, he changed the question.
"We can definitely find the source of all these problems through the passage here, right?"
Halbers answered simply:
"Wuling people, I actually don't want to continue to stay in your world. In this regard, our The purpose is the same."
"..."
Faced with the mermaid's blunt answer, Ronald shrugged.
He can't tell whether the other party has lied or deceived him now, so coming here together is just the best behavior for him.
In fact, compared to Helbis's true purpose.
Ronald was more interested in the word 'your world' in this guy's mouth. Among the ruins of the island, what kind of original scripture could lead to such a result?
Summoning sea creatures from another world...
Regardless of whether the enemies on the island have successfully mastered this original code, even if this is a phenomenon caused by the original code after the power went berserk, it is definitely a shocking enough thing.
Maintain a fragile cooperative relationship with each other.
Ronald and Halbers continued to move deeper along the underground passage, and the surrounding environment began to change. The inner walls of the two layers of the passage were covered with a thick and bright material that was extremely reflective of light. good.
Halbers's flashlight shone light on it, and after reflection, the passage became brighter. Especially as we continue to advance a few miles, irregularly distributed stalactites begin to appear, which instantly makes it more difficult to continue moving forward.
As a human being, Ronald can still pass here on his hands and knees.
And Halbers, who was 'swimming' on the ground with his fish tail flapping, instantly realized the malicious nature of the land environment towards marine life.
Seeing that his temporary companions were facing such serious problems, which had even begun to hinder their progress, Ronald finally couldn't help but suggest: "Helbeth, how about you
let me carry you on my back? I still have good physical strength. Not bad, there won't be any trouble if there is one more person."
"..."
Herbes' face instantly became very ugly.
She understood that Ronald's suggestion was friendly, but the reserve of members of advanced civilization made her feel a sense of shame. It was as if she went to a certain ocean to investigate, was accidentally injured, and could only be killed by silly fish. It's like holding it in your mouth to get away from danger before you can be rescued.
But the facts are there.
Without accepting Ronald's help, she could only continue to struggle on the ground crookedly. Not to mention the ugly appearance, it will also affect the speed of the two people's progress and delay their trip.
"You... please, Wuling native."
"..."
Ronald naturally saw the confusion on Miss Mermaid's face.
Without opening his mouth to say anything, he walked up to the other party and bent down naturally.
"Come on, just don't tighten my neck."
"Well..."
After hearing the answer, two breaths passed before Ronald felt a cold body leaning on his back, and almost subconsciously reached out. Dragging Halbes's body, his hands directly touched a tail covered with fish scales.
Almost at the same time, Halbes, who was behind Ronald, exclaimed in a low voice:
"Don't worry about my tail, I will hang it properly!"
"I understand..."
In this way, the two of them became Ronald carrying Halbes, the way the mermaid wraps her tail around him.
Although the shape may be a bit unsightly.
But with Ronald's strong physical fitness as the backing, their progress has actually accelerated a bit, and they don't have to worry about problems while moving forward. Halbers can also concentrate on using the flashlight to provide the most suitable lighting.
The two continued to move forward, and the passage under the island continued to change.
Dense, small, round holes began to appear in some places on the walls of the passage they were advancing through, which looked like small recessed light bulbs under the reflection of light. Finally, opaque quartz crystals could even be seen occasionally. and mixed with pure glass beads.
These randomly appearing points of light, like crystal lanterns, appeared in the passage one after another and shone along the way, illuminating their way forward.
Walking in this environment, there is a beautiful mermaid on my back.
As Ronald gradually became nervous, he couldn't help but have the illusion that he was in a fairy tale world. The secret beauty hidden underground is something that not everyone has the opportunity to see.
After changing directions several times along the way and advancing underground for a long distance, Halbes, who was behind Ronald, reached out and pointed to the side of the two people's route and spoke to remind the man below him:
"Wuling people, look over there."
Ronald turned his head and looked over, and immediately understood the purpose of Haerbeis's reminder.
Just a hundred meters away from the two of them.
A sloped entrance with an upward side is right there, like a door quietly waiting to be pushed open!
