Chapter 848: The Abyss of Death
The autumn geese are raining by the river, and the wind is long and clouds are on the sea.
Zhou Shu walked eastward for a few days, and came to the familiar East China Sea.
Looking around, the smoke is vast, with waves dozens of feet high, accompanied by hurricanes.
Standing above the sea, Zhou Shu opened several maps of the East China Sea in his sea of consciousness and compared them with the scene in front of him. He suddenly felt a little tricky. The map left by the Jimen Gate used the coastline and islands of the past as reference objects, but the current coastline is very different from tens of years ago. Many places are engulfed by the rising sea water, with thousands or even tens of thousands of miles, and the islands have also sunk a lot...
Compared with the map in Zhou Shu's memory, there is really a big difference.
It’s not that it cannot be found, but the comparison is much more difficult. I checked it little by little, and time passed without realizing it.
"Senior, what are you thinking..."
After too long, Lin Zhu's body was timid and could not withstand the wind and waves. She couldn't help but lean on Zhou Shu and asked softly.
Zhou Shu was slightly stunned, "Ah, I'm a little confused. How long have we been standing here?"
Lin Zhu whispered, "It's almost seven hours."
"So long, Lin Zhu, why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Zhou Shu said in surprise, looking at Lin Zhu, feeling a little apologized, "I thought I could see the direction clearly in a while, but I didn't know it was that easy. I would have known that it wouldn't have been off the boat so soon."
"fine."
Lin Zhu smiled slightly, "Did you see clearly, senior?"
"It's almost done, let's go."
Zhou Shu took Lin Zhu and strode into the sea like walking leisurely in the garden.
After traveling nearly 50,000 miles, Zhou Shu looked around, stopped, and said to himself, "There should be a sunken island below. If there is one, it proves that my inference is correct, and you can follow the map to find the inheritance."
"Would you like to find it? The little girl will help the seniors see it."
Lin Zhu responded and jumped into the sea.
"Don't be anxious, go together," Zhou Shu quickly reached out and grabbed it, with a bit of caution on his face. "According to the map, the island below is called Black Sand Corner. It was once an island occupied by many evil cultivators. You and I don't know what the evil cultivators ten thousand years ago had. They must act carefully."
"Senior knows so much."
Lin Zhu nodded obediently, "The little girl has never heard of any island here. After all, there are still very few sunken islands near the sea."
Zhou Shu seemed to think, "I'm also surprised that the sunken island near the sea should be easily discovered... Either my map is wrong, or there is something strange about the island. In short, you should be more careful and don't be too far away from me."
A thin light appeared on his body and he fell all the way to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Zhu used the true method of water absorption, and her body was like a stream of water, following Zhou Shu.
The True Art of Water Acceptance is good, but it can only reach the Nascent Soul Realm. At that time, it is not an easy task to find new magical techniques for her, and it also suits her physique.
Be careful along the way and dived for dozens of miles.
When they arrived at the bottom of the sea, an extremely wide trench appeared in front of the two, which was probably not a hundred miles wide, and the length was not even more than a thousand miles. The trench was as deep as ink, and the bottom was impossible to see at all. There were still many gray smoke floating on the trench.
This situation occurs at the bottom of the sea, which is really strange.
Zhou Shu looked at him, but he didn't feel a little surprised.
Lin Zhu paused for a while, as if she had thought of something, her eyes stagnated and she was a little frightened.
Zhou Shu said suspiciously, "What's wrong, Lin Zhu, do you know here?"
Lin Zhu nodded, "Senior, I heard from someone that there is a very deep bottomless abyss at the bottom of the sea near the sea. None of the cultivators who entered have come out, and even their souls cannot escape. Therefore, they are called the Abyss of Death by the cultivators near the sea. There are many rumors, such as walking skeletons... The little woman thought, maybe this is it."
While speaking, her face gradually turned pale as she looked at the trench in front of her.
She has been in the East China Sea for decades, and has heard many rumors about the Abyss of Death. She said that there are many demons and monsters hidden. She was scared too much and had a shadow in her heart. She couldn't help but tremble when she saw it.
"Abyss of Death?"
Zhou Shu nodded slightly, "It's interesting. The energy is filled with death, which is similar to the Taiyin Mountains recorded in the classics. It means that many people have died around him. However, it can also be judged that there are mostly sunken islands here, which is very similar to the Black Sand Corner that the evil cultivator entrenched in the map."
Lin Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "That's good. Since we know there is an island, we don't have to go down."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "Don't worry, wait for me to take a look."
He let go of his spiritual sense and leaned down, feeling a little stunned.
The spiritual consciousness will be subject to many obstacles on the seabed. Although it is not as many obstacles as the ones underground, it is quite large. At this time, the deep seabed, Zhou Shu's spiritual consciousness range is about one-tenth of the normal, and the further down, the greater the obstacle.
Zhou Shu knew this very well and had made plans to not see too deeply, but he did not expect that in the Abyss of Death, his spiritual consciousness could only be explored for less than three miles, which was too little, and the spiritual consciousness that was explored was also interfered with by unknown things and could not be seen carefully, and the interference seemed familiar.
This trench is extraordinary.
After looking at Lin Zhu, Zhou said softly, "It seems a bit strange. It seems that you have to go on. Lin Zhu, you can wait for me here."
Lin Zhu hurriedly said, "No, senior, you want to go down, the little girl must follow you too."
Zhou Shu smiled, "Seeing that you are so scared, don't go down."
"It's not a big deal, the little girl is no longer afraid."
Lin Zhu patted her chest and nodded vigorously, "I don't worry if I have seniors here, and the little girl should be able to help."
"Get closer to me."
Zhou Shu nodded and walked slowly into the trench. Lin Zhu got very close to her and felt much more at ease.
After falling nearly ten miles, there was still a dark sea. Nothing was discovered, and I don’t know how deep the trench was.
Zhou Shu's expression was slightly condensed, and he stopped, and the heavy gold sword was already in his hand.
Lin Zhu asked suspiciously, "Senior, what's here?"
Zhou Shu showed some caution, "A group of small fish are swimming over, but it seems wrong."
"Little fish?"
Lin Zhu was a little confused. Isn’t it normal to have fish at the bottom of the sea, but she was soon surprised, “Fish? How could there be fish here.”
Since entering the trench, they have not seen any creatures, let alone fish, not even aquatic plants and shells. The fish that suddenly appeared at this time was naturally very strange.
Soon, the group of small fish appeared in the sight of the two.
It's a fish, but it's not a fish at all.
Those fish only have bones and scales, no flesh or other parts at all. They should be dead objects, but they are more flexible than when they are alive and are extremely fast. From seeing them to flying in front of them, it only takes a moment to do so.
"ah!"
Lin Zhu couldn't help but exclaim, and the three water walls she had erected were almost blinked by the bone fish.
