Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Dangerous Journey in the South China Sea (1)

After nearly half a day of Edgeworth's flight, Kitari and Ritou finally came to the South China Sea.

The two settled on an island, and Kitazan took out a topographic map of the South China Sea prepared in advance, and explored everywhere to determine that this was the southern headland water they were looking for. But even though we're here, we're still far from actually finding the pit vid.

The location of the pit vid is an underwater deserted city in the waters of the southern headland, this deserted city is buried deep under the sea, and it is usually impossible to find it on the surface of the sea. Only on a full moon night, when the tide recedes, will the entrance to the deserted city be revealed, and only for a brief moment will the entrance close again. If you want to get in, you have to get the timing right, and if you are slow for a moment, you will have to wait another month.

It's exactly fifteen today, so you just have to wait until the early hours of tomorrow morning to enter the underwater city. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, the moon is just above the tip, and there are still a few hours before the high tide. In order to avoid missing the opportunity, Bei Ran still led Litou to the beach early, lit a fire, and the two sat around the fire, waiting for the high tide to come.

In this gap, Kitazor looked around. The island is huge, but there is no trace of biological activity, so the plants on the island grow extraordinarily luxuriantly. In the sea water along the beach and coastal area for dozens of miles, there is no trace of fish and shrimp, except for the waves that are tumbling and lapping on the shore, there is an eerie silence everywhere.

Bei Ran said: "Xiao Tou, do you think it's too quiet here?" ”

Litou also looked around, with a serious face: "Yes." I found out when we flew through this body of water. Generally, where extremely vicious monsters exist, it is not surprising that few creatures dare to settle here, but it is very rare that they don't even dare to pass by like this. This is enough to show how terrifying this pit viper is, so we must be extremely careful this time. ”

Bei Ran subconsciously clenched his fists and nodded, "Hmm." ”

As night fell, the light on the sea gradually dimmed, and the distance as far as the eye could see gradually became shorter, and in a short time, the sea became a black water. Only a full moon on a white jade disk hung high in the night sky, casting a glimmer of light on the obsidian sea, illuminating the rippling water.

Bei Ran didn't even dare to blink her eyes, she had been staring at the sea since the sky was dark, and a wave hit, making the mirror-like sea move violently, and her heart also moved. Finally, in Yinshi, the sea water was manic.

A big wave hit, and the black sea approached the two of them a few points, and Beiran stood up from the ground violently and exclaimed: "The tide is rising!" ”

Litou also stood up immediately, looking at the waves in front of her wave after wave, and came to them in an instant, she turned around and pulled Bei Dye to run, and said as she ran: "This wave is unusual, the rise speed is extremely fast, let's retreat a little farther." ”

The two ran a few meters, then flew up to a large tree, and stood on the tree to observe the movement below. I saw that the sea was rolling, and with each wave, it rolled forward and grew several feet high. Soon, the water was flooding under the big tree where the two were staying, and it was still rising.

Kitazor was thinking about whether to find another taller tree, but suddenly the sea water near his feet suddenly stopped. She crouched down and scooped a handful of water with her hands, and by the moonlight, she saw that there seemed to be a few beast hairs floating in the water in her palm.

She was looking at the hair and was distracted, when she heard Litou shouting beside her: "The water is receding!" ”

Bei Ran immediately came back to his senses and looked down, the water was really receding, and it was rising quite fast, retreating faster, and the water level dropped a few feet in an instant. It's like a huge hole in the sea, and the surrounding water is filling the hole.

When the water retreated back to the beach, the two immediately jumped from the tree, turned into a sword, chased the sea water, and said to Beiran: "Quick, keep up!" ”

Bei Ran heard the sound, tiptoed, and a flash stepped forward, shaped like a ghost, and instantly came to Litou's back. Edgeworth chased the ebb tide and followed tightly.

A gap opened in the shoreline where they had started the fire, and the water parted on both sides, revealing a road paved with thick mud.

With his sword in hand, he walked above the dirt road, and the gap continued to stretch forward, and when it was almost in the middle of the sea, it finally stopped. At the same time, on the dirt road below, mud and sand fell and fell out of a large hole five people wide. Bei Dye Daxi: "This is it, let's go down!" ”

The tip of the sword turned, and the cyan lightsaber stabbed into the black hole with Bei Dye. Almost at the same time, as soon as they entered, the entrance to the cave was immediately closed, and the sea water on both sides quickly closed, turning back into the black surface of the stagnant water, and there was no trace of it.

This underwater cave is connected to a dome of the deserted city, and when they entered the cave, Hokuzome and Ritoru finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the dilapidated and dilapidated castle buildings below, slowly slowing down their speed and wandering above the city.

After looking around and finding no hidden danger, Kitazor jumped off the sword, and Litou immediately turned back into a human form and followed her.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the light on the seabed was already weaker than on the land, so Bei Dye took out a night pearl, and only then did he see the surrounding environment through the bright light.

This undersea city is huge, surrounded by broken walls and ruins, and there are many kinds of white bones scattered on the ground, in addition to human skulls, there are also some animal bones, piled together faintly and phosphoring. However, it is not difficult to see that this place should have been an extremely magnificent city in the past, quite the scale of a city of 10,000 people.

Walking along a long part of the main road, except for the dilapidated houses that abounded, the thick mud and sand covered the whole street, everywhere was the same as the previous position, and everywhere there was a dusty atmosphere.

Looking at those white bones, Beiran couldn't help but say, "It seems that there have been wars here before. ”

Litou had been observing the bones on the ground all the way, and agreed with her words: "Yes, and it's a big one." Look at these bones, many of them have gaps on them, which are obviously cut out by the sword, and they are divided into three points, which shows how fierce the attack is. There are even those that are directly broken into several pieces, if at that time, this place must be a mountain of corpses, like a Shura hell. ”

Further on, the houses around became sparse, the white bones on the road gradually became fewer, human bones were rare, and the deeper you went, you could only see the bones of some insects, fish, birds and beasts still lying on the ground.

I saw that I had already walked through most of the city, but there was still no clue. Through a few zhang of seawater, the sky above the sea surface should be bright, and there is no need to illuminate it with the night pearl, and you can see what is in front of you with the light refracted from the water.

Bei Ran put the beads back into the bag and said worriedly: "For such a long time, I haven't even seen the shadow of a living thing, where do you want to go to find the pit pit fish." Slowly, and with a slight hesitation, he said: "Is it true that what is recorded in the history of the gods, is there really such a demon beast as the pit vid here?" ”

Litou was not as worried as her, but after seeing the beast bones all over the ground here, he was a little happy: "Since it is recorded in the history of the gods, there is a chance that it will not be wrong." And I think it's around here. ”
