Chapter 14 1.14 The Sunken City (2)
Accompanied by a loud "splash", Loki looked back and saw that the three-masted ship he had spent more than ten years to build "bang" smashed into the water and turned into pieces.
Never thought that the way to enter this underwater city was to open a hole in the outer wall of the city's bubble and let the seawater pour in like a waterfall! This vertical waterfall formed by seawater is nearly 100 meters high.
If Loki and his companions on the ship hadn't jumped off the ship at the right time, they would have been directly killed by the free-falling giant ship on the water surface.
Paving hard and swimming to the shore, Loki counted the people. The good thing is that no one was injured in this free fall.
The bad thing is that in addition to the three-masted ship being completely destroyed and the old Walder who was originally floating in the sky disappearing, the hole opened on the huge dome is now completely closed.
Everyone has been completely trapped in this underwater city.
Damn, believe in science!
Climbing out of the pool with force, Loki sat up with difficulty and took out the "Fantasy Novel Setting Collection" from his arms. This strange journey to the west has developed to this point, and everything he sees is just as described in the book.
It's all real!
Based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, no matter how reluctant he is, he has to believe that this plane is completely different from the history he learned from the nine-year compulsory education.
Damn it! It is said that history is written by the victors, so you fooled me like this
Loki only gave himself five seconds to express his frustration and anger. He forced himself to regain consciousness immediately. Because there were 10 twenty-year-old tribesmen standing behind him.
Their lives have just begun. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must do everything he can to bring them back alive.
Garrison Captain Sartre is directing his subordinates to salvage the remaining food in the sunken ship in the lake. The lake in the sunken city is a freshwater lake, so the remaining creatures and fresh water can barely support a few more days.
Finding a large vertical green algae, Loki leaned on it and opened the "Overall Map of the World" in his arms.
According to the description in the book, this place is called "Fallen Lake", which is the outermost part of the submerged city Hohenheim. There should be a road paved with blue stone slabs outside the Fallen Lake.
This road leads to the outer part of the city: "The Hall of the Blood Sacrifice Monk".
"Brothers, take your things and organize your equipment. In 10 minutes, we will all enter the city!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Loki quickly flipped through the book. When he turned to the page with the giant illustration drawn with red cinnabar, he did not dare to despise it this time.
"The Blood-stained Stone Reef is unique to the Sunken City. According to speculation, it is most likely a foreign plant brought by the Blood Creator when he fell from the outer world to Kyushu."
"This creature is white when young. As it grows older, it can slowly absorb the blood of all the creatures around it. After a hundred years, its whole body is red!"
"Elder Xuan Hezi believes that this thing should be the daily food of the Blood Creator clan, used to replenish the blood they need to wake up every day."
"Note: This thing is flammable like a tree. When it burns, it will emit red fireworks, which can attract a large group of indigenous people."
There is almost no light in the dark seabed. In order to read this line of handwriting, Loki almost picked up the book and put his face in the glowing algae on the ground before he could barely finish reading.
The three-masted ship fell from the sky and was broken into pieces. The wood used to make the wooden boat has been wet by the lake water and cannot be burned.
When Loki saw that the huge red coral beside him could burn, he hurriedly called on his subordinates to swing the axe to chop off a few pieces, and then used the axe to chop the flint he carried with him to ignite it. In a red flame, the group was finally able to illuminate the passage ahead.
They lined up and walked slowly in this desolate city. As far as the eye can see, there are wildly growing algae everywhere. According to the description in the book, burning blood-soaked stone reefs will attract a large group of creatures, but the whole city is still empty after everyone held up torches and walked all the way.
It is as quiet as a thousand-year-old tomb.
From time to time, a glowing jellyfish-like creature slides over the huge dome. This thing is like a light bulb, illuminating the surrounding environment with its own phosphorescent skeleton.
According to the records in the ancient books, this thing is called "Yingzhe", which is obtained by hybridization between extraterrestrial life and jellyfish in the ocean. It floats in the air like Cordyceps sinensis, between plants and animals.
The Qi-refining masters of the pre-Qin Dynasty observed its form and found that this thing can survive for hundreds of years in an autistic state. The fluorescence emitted by their bones can only be seen by humans.
For all other creatures, they are permanently invisible.
Several fluorescent jellyfish lined up and slid across the dome. As they passed by, Loki looked up inadvertently and saw that a deep-sea beast as huge as a mountain was living on the dome!
As he looked up, the dim light of the fluorescent jellyfish illuminated a huge eye glaring on the dome!
This!
What is this? !
According to the real proportion, the size of the pupil of the unknown beast alone is about the same size as the three-masted ship that Loki and his group are riding!
Fortunately, these creatures seem unable to break through the soap bubble-like film on the top of the city. Even though they are very curious about Loki and his group, they can only observe them while lying on the film.
Outside the film, the sea water surged. More and more giant creatures came over. Just like observing goldfish in a fish tank. Mortals cannot look directly at gods. Loki recalled this old Viking saying and felt that it was quite correct.
"Hurry up, let's hurry through this open area and enter the city as soon as possible!" Standing at the end of the team, Loki held up a torch and asked his men to quickly cross the open area of the plain.
"Don't look up!"
After entering the city, the huge architectural ruins will block the flames of the red torches in their hands. At the same time, it will also block the ancient monsters outside the dome. Otherwise, if mortals are stared at by these terrifying creatures for a long time, they will inevitably become insane due to causal tension.
Running all the way, everyone quickly passed through this vertically floating coral reef. Loki held up the torch and felt like he was walking into an extraterrestrial biological museum.
Under the dome, humans can breathe freely, which means that the air here should still be a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. However, these vertically floating algae around them look like water, floating slowly all the time.
Weird, very weird.
Equally weird is their feet. As they ran fast, Loki discovered from the gaps between the mottled glowing algae on the ground that the road they were walking on was actually a series of wide bluestone slabs.
These bluestone slabs were very similar to the bluestone used on the outer walls of Lord Bernard's castle, "Storm's Rest Castle"!
Could it be that the ancient legends were all true?
Was that castle really made of stones that the ancestor giant sent his men to transport from this deep-sea city?
Shaking his head vigorously, Loki forced himself to focus on what was in front of him. After running for about half an hour, they had already approached the periphery of the huge city. The fluorescent jellyfish illuminated the outlines of many abandoned buildings.
The size of these buildings is very huge! Loki felt that his perspective at this time was like that of a low ant in the grass. Looking up at the huge door frame and window sill under the dark dome, if "humans" had ever lived in this city,
then their height would probably be more than 5 meters!
The people around him stopped and looked at each other. However, at this moment, Loki actually saw a figure wearing ancient armor standing at the entrance of the city!
