There were several corpses lying on the bed in the bedroom, decaying here together with the huge bed and the surrounding buildings.

Judging from the grandeur of this room, among the several corpses on the bed, it is very likely that the governor was among them.

Xia Daiti came to the side of the room, knocked on the wall in front of him and said, "This should be the entrance to the basement."

Alka walked over and knocked on it, and then looked at it twice. After 400 years, this kind of mechanism built inside the house may have various problems and cannot be used.

A silver card appeared directly in his hand. With the infusion of magic power, a faint shimmer appeared on the edge, exuding a cold glow.

Holding the card, he started cutting along the edge of the wall in front of him, and soon a rectangular door frame was cut out by Alka.

The rubble collapsed, revealing the entrance to the passage inside, which was a stairway sloping downward, leading all the way to the basement below.

A faint fragrance, mixed with the salty humidity of the sea, passed over.

The two of them cautiously passed the stairs and started walking down.

The tall Pororo behind him sighed helplessly as he watched the two men's actions.

He curled up his body as hard as he could and finally squeezed into the tunnel. He bent over and bent his legs to go down bit by bit.

Wrap yourself directly into a ball.

The three of them went all the way to the basement and walked in through the passageway.

There is no dull smell here, it is the fragrance and the salty smell of sea water. It has been 400 years.

In addition, it is not far away from the surrounding area of ​​the island. Even if there is a passage, there should not be such an atmosphere.

Several people looked at the basement in front of them. There was nothing hidden here at all, but it was divided into several rooms.

There are two rooms that look like they should be used for living, and one or two rooms are filled with books, although they are already decayed and tattered.

The other room seems to be a workshop for some kind of production, and some tools can be seen.

The three of them wandered around for a while, but didn't find anything valuable here.

At this time, Xia Daiti frowned, and silver ripples spread out from her feet again.

"There is still space down there. This basement is just a cover, or an entrance."

With that said, she led the two of them directly to the very back of the basement, where there was a stone door with a slight gap.

Alka walked up and pushed hard along the gap, and a tunnel that was obviously dug manually was revealed in front of the three of them.

This tunnel was dug very large, with a height of four to five meters. It seemed that it was not just for personal convenience.

It will definitely make it easier to transport some things.

As the tunnel is opened, the sound of the ebb and flow of the sea water is heard in the distance.

The fragrance and the salty smell of sea water suddenly became rich inside.

It is almost certain that there must be a cave below that is connected to the seawater under the island, and it is most likely an underground river.

It is very possible that this basement, or the Governor's Palace above, was built deliberately because of the cave below.

Since the size of the tunnel would not make it difficult for Pororo to move, he came directly in front of the two of them and opened the way for them.

After all, he is thick-skinned, strong and tall.

Following the stone pavement underfoot and the lanterns on both sides that had long been extinguished, he spiraled downwards.

During the operation, they also encountered several corpses at the entrance of the tunnel crawling up to attack them.

There are quite a lot of people living underground here, but no evil spirits or corpses were seen in the basement to stop them.

When the three of them came to the end of the passage and were able to enter the outside at a corner, a faint light shone in from the outside and reflected on the stone wall at the end.

Looking at this slightly flickering light, the three of them looked at each other.

This light is obviously not a natural occurrence, it has happened hundreds of years ago.

The governor below spends so much effort on this kind of thing. What is he hiding?

The three of them went from alert to ready to attack at any time. They maintained their formation and slowly moved over.

Then he suddenly drilled out of the hole at the corner.

What greeted them was not some powerful character, but a few withered bones slowly rising from the ground.

Pororo walked up and kicked each of the corpses that had not yet fully stood up into pieces.

Then the three of them saw what the radiating thing in front of them was.

For a moment, I couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

This is a huge karst cave. It can be seen that although there are artificial traces around it, it must have been natural originally.

An underground river passes through, making the sound of flowing water.

The source is a huge pool, occupying more than half of the entire cave.

What shines is the huge transparent blue crystal floating on the pool.

What shocked them was not the transparent crystal, but what was inside the transparent crystal.

It was a beautiful woman, with a delicate, mature and charming face, and an extremely alluring and concave and convex figure. She was dressed in unusually cool clothes, with two beautiful shells covering her chest.

A necklace made of pearls passed through her neck, and what hung there was an ancient key.

Her long aqua hair also covered her body, making her look even more attractive.

What she held in her arms was her slightly curly lower body.

It was a fish-like tail, and one could even see the crystal clear scales on the fish tail through the crystal, as if diamonds were cut and attached to it.

Yes, this is a mermaid that only appears in stories and legends.

She was sealed in this crystal quietly and motionless.

After Alka came back to his senses, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Pororo next to him. Even Xia Detti also made the same move.

It's hard not to associate fishmen and mermaids with each other. Maybe there is a certain connection between the two races, but not necessarily.

Pororo watched the movements of the two people.

"Damn it, I don't know either. Like you guys, I have only heard of such existences in legendary stories.

There is no special connection between fish people and mermaids, even we think mermaids are fictitious existences."

Seeing that Pororo had not recovered from the shock, the two nodded in belief and turned their heads again.

"So is this thing real or fake?" Pororo asked, looking at the two people.

He really doesn't understand this kind of thing at all.

After all, this mermaid is sealed in crystal. Who knows if she is real or fake? What if she is some kind of magic item?

In the past six months, he has seen all kinds of weird things in human beings, but sometimes there are very useful magic items.

Alka looked at the huge crystal in front of her and the mermaid that seemed to be sleeping inside.

It is this crystal that is marked as a treasure. There is a blue border around the crystal.

A semicircular platform was built from the shore and extended all the way to the bottom of the crystal. It was just a wooden structure, so it had long been decayed and full of cracks.

It will collapse easily if you walk on it.

The other half of the cave is filled with various decayed utensils, covered with vines and moss.

But in response to Pororo's words, Alka just shook his head.

He didn't know whether this thing was real or not, so he thought about it and said, "Let's go over and have a look?"

"Is there no problem?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but said, it is better to put safety first now.

"It's okay. Did you see the platform below? It was specially built. This seems to be a place specially used to study this thing."

"They must have touched this crystal before, there shouldn't be any big problem."

The main thing is that Alka wants to touch it, and only then will the blue dot mark on the map show that he has gained something.

By harvesting that information, he will get more expansion. He will also be able to know the specific name of this thing, and maybe he can get some information and speculations.

After saying that, Alka walked towards the platform. Although the platform was somewhat decayed and cracked, it seemed to carry him without much problem.

Stepping onto the platform, Alka stretched out a finger and gently touched the crystal floating in the air.

This sealed crystal is only half a meter away from the water.
