Chapter 46 The Other End of the Passage

These people are now using the red-striped magic crystal as bait to lure me into opening the door for them. Although I have some doubts about this, this bait is indeed too attractive.

"Do I have to believe you when you say you have a red-streaked magic crystal?" Anyway, at the moment they are just saying that I won't help.

A man's voice said: "There is a small window above the door. You can come up and take a look."

I looked up and there was indeed a small window there. Pulling on the doorknob, I lifted myself up to the window. This small window is really small, the area is not much larger than the mouth of a bowl. Looking through the window, I was very surprised by the situation inside. This room is actually sealed, and no water has entered it so far. No wonder these people can hold on until now.

The room is not big, there are 6 people in it, 5 men and 1 woman. There was a row of boxes against the wall behind them, and through the window they could see that I was already outside. The woman walked over to the boxes and opened one and tilted it so I could see inside. It is indeed a red veined magic crystal, and the texture is very good, it is of the highest quality.

"Are they all in these boxes?"

"These are the only two," the woman replied, pointing to the box under the open box.

"What's in the other boxes?"

The knight standing by the door retreated behind the window and began to speak. The voice sounded like it was him who had spoken just now. "My friend, the items in these boxes are very important to us. Please let us take them away. As a thank you, these two red-striped magic crystals are yours."

"Let me see what's in the box."

"These boxes have seals, so it might be inconvenient to open them." The knight's eyes revealed his thoughts.

"Open or I leave, take your pick?" I don't bargain with them at all. As a businessman, when you know that the other party must buy your goods, you can safely charge a higher price.

The knight turned around and exchanged glances with several other people, then reluctantly walked to the box and opened the seal on the box. When he opened the box I saw what was inside. It is something like a gem, but the color is very strange, it is colorful. This thing is about the same shape and size as a rugby ball. Its surface is a mixture of green and yellow, and it looks smooth.

"Little Dragon Girl, what's that first?"

Xiao Longnu looked at it and said: "It seems to be the egg of something, but judging from its shape, it shouldn't be something on land. Maybe Chili knows it."

"Fenglong, let the pepper come out."

Fenglong space suddenly opened. Chili appeared in the water next to me. She is a sea tribe herself, so the water is more suitable for her. "Pepper, come here and see what that is?"

Pepper just glanced at it and pressed his face to the window excitedly. "Oh my God! It's a Bayite egg!"

"What is it?"

Chili Pepper stepped back and said: "Sorry, I used my native language when I was excited! Bayete is the language of the Sea people, and it can be roughly translated as the dragon that creates dreams. If you call it in the language you are used to, it should be called Dream Sea Dragon."

"Dream Sea Dragon? Isn't that a Dream Dragon? Isn't that thing a subspecies of the Dragon Clan?"

"I don't know what they have to do with the dragon clan. Anyway, I know that this thing is very dangerous. We, the sea clan, generally try not to get close to this kind of thing. And the dream dragon protects its nest. If anyone touches their nest, unless the target is dead or they Kill them, otherwise they will not stop. These people can actually bring out the Dream Dragon Egg, I really admire their courage. That is something on the same level as the giant dragon!"

I climbed to the window and looked at the boxes again. Good guy, there are a total of eighteen boxes except for the box of red-striped magic crystals. Magic pet eggs, and eighteen dragon-level magic pet eggs. There are so many good things on this ship!

The woman saw that I didn't respond for a long time and asked again: "Can we make a deal?"

"Tell me how you got so many eggs and I will consider helping you leave."

"No, this won't work. This is the secret of our guild." The woman refused quite simply.

"Goodbye then." I said more simply than she did.

"Wait! Please don't leave yet." Six people in the room shouted together.

hey-hey! I just said it! It's not me who's anxious now. "Is there anything else?"

"Okay, okay! We will tell you the origin of these eggs, but you must promise to rescue us." The knight was already helpless.

"make a deal."

The knight began: "We found a dream dragon nest under the Arctic Ocean. For some reason, most of the adult dream dragons inside were not there, so we joined forces with our alliance guilds in Russia to loot the dragon nest. These eggs are trophies, and the Alliance Guild will split them half with us."

"So are there any eggs in the nest now?"

"Of course there are none anymore. How can you take half and keep the other half if you want to loot?"

"Where is the nest?"

"We didn't have a mark. We left a buoy to mark the nest after we discovered it. Others followed the mark to find it. After the looting, there was no need to go there again, so we didn't record the location."

"Do you know the basic principles of trading?" I suddenly asked for an irrelevant sentence.

"Huh? What?" The knight was confused by me.

"I asked you if you know the basic principles of trading?"

The woman next to me said impatiently: "Why are you asking this? We have fulfilled our promise and told the origin of the egg. It's time for you to rescue us."

I ignored her and said to myself: "Basic principles of transaction: before the transaction is established, you can raise the price or make a counter-offer according to the situation, but once the transaction is established, the agreement must be fulfilled."

"What do you mean?" the knight asked guiltily.

"You know it yourself." He still wants to play tricks on me despite his IQ. At first, they tried their best to conceal the origin of the egg, but now the origin is completely worthless for further development. Since that nest has no use value, why did they hide it in the first place? The only explanation is that they lied. The origin of the egg field is not what they say, and they should be able to get such eggs many times. Otherwise there would be no point in hiding it from me.

"We really don't know what you mean!" The woman was still quibbling.

"Okay then. I don't know how to rescue you either. Goodbye!"

I turned around and was about to leave. There was a cry inside immediately. "Wait, wait, wait! We are convinced, just tell you!"

I turned back again. It's not my habit to lose anger but not wealth. My goal is to find the origin of the egg. This thing is a great benefit. "Say it."

The man took out a piece of paper and opened it towards me. "This is the chart. The dream dragons in that nest will leave periodically for a period of time. Every time we take advantage of their departure to steal the eggs, this is all we have gained so far. Dream dragons have the ability to reproduce. Very low.”

"That's pretty much it." I nodded and said to the phantom in my mind: "Record the chart."

"Can you let us out now?" the woman asked.

"Of course. I keep my word. Since you have completed the transaction, of course I will complete it." I first looked at the door of the room and then said: "After I open the door, water will enter your place. Can you move in the water? ?”

"Our armor can breathe in water for three hours. It should be enough to support us until we get out of the water. You just need to open the door."

"Open the door? Can't you open it yourself?" I thought they couldn't get out because they couldn't breathe in the water. It took me a long time because the door couldn't be opened!

The woman said very impatiently: "This room has not been flooded since the ship crashed like this. Do you think this is an ordinary cabin?"

yes! The ship was in such a state of ruin, but this room was still intact. It shows that this is a reinforced special cabin. No wonder they couldn't get out. It turned out to be a reinforced cabin. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Water cannot enter a reinforced room, but people cannot get out either!

"You guys stand back and I'll cut the door open." As I said that, I thrust the Eternal Edge Sword into the door.

"Using a sword is not...!" The woman got stuck mid-sentence. Originally she wanted to say that the door was very strong. The sword couldn't be opened, but when she was halfway through her words, she saw half of the sword blade appearing in the door, and Eternity had penetrated the high-pressure door.

"What did you just say?" I asked outside.

"Nothing, just keep going!" The people inside stopped talking. This was the first time they had seen such a sharp sword.

I grabbed the hilt and lifted it up hard. The blade received a little resistance, but not too much. At least it could still cut. The people inside watched in surprise as the sword blade opened a hole in the iron door like cutting mud, and seawater rushed into the room almost simultaneously. However, because there was considerable air pressure inside, the water flow was not fast.

"You guys wait a minute. Cut the door open now. The water pressure will push the door in like a cannonball. When the water fills up, I will completely lower the door."

"How long will it take for such a small amount of water to flow?"

"Then let me help you speed up." I took Eternity and inserted it hard on the wall next to me. They looked at the sword tip that suddenly appeared on the wall in surprise. This group of people originally thought that the door was not strong enough, so they were cut open by the sword. Little did they know that it would be equally easy to cut the steel plate on the wall.

I plugged it back and forth a few times and the wall turned into a sieve. The water poured into the room and it was full after a while. "Okay, you guys stand back."

I turned eternity into an axe, and started chopping at the door. The door was just processed refined steel, and its hardness was not very high at all. It was chopped out of shape in just three or two blows. Look, the door is almost broken. The three of us, Chili Pepper, Xiao Longnu and I, worked hard together, and there was only a creaking sound of metal twisting, and the metal door was knocked down by us.

"You...! What are you doing?" As soon as I entered, I saw the knight slashing at me with a big sword. I ducked out of the way of the sword. "You want to default on your debt?"

The woman also took out a foil sword: "There is no need to be moral with people like you." As she said that, she stabbed him with the sword.

I opened my wings fiercely and flapped the sea water hard to make my body retreat. The wings can also be used in the water. Unfortunately, I forgot that this was a room. There was no room to retreat behind the wall. In the crisis, Xiao Longnu suddenly revealed her true form.

There was a sudden loud bang in the water, and the hundred thousand monsters outside who were helping me collect jewelry looked in this direction at the same time. Xiao Longnu was so big that the cabin immediately burst when she appeared. Half the hull was blown away.

"What's going on?" Shui Xu climbed out of the wreckage: "What are you doing up there making such a big noise?"

After the six people came out, they quickly stabilized their posture and prepared to pursue the victory. However, as soon as they came out, they immediately found that they could not find the target. They didn't know the cause of the explosion just now. They just thought it was my life-saving skills, but they didn't know that they couldn't find anyone when they came out.

They found a huge undersea stalagmite in front of them, but when they looked closely, they were surprised to find that this hill-like "stalagmite" was actually moving. They waited until they adjusted the focus of their sight to see clearly what kind of stalagmite was this in front of them! Is this obviously the torso of a divine dragon? The huge dragon was entrenched in front of them. Each black scale on the dragon's body was about the same size as their shield, and there were actually two people standing on the dragon's head.

"Hey! What happened?" The six people suddenly heard someone talking behind them. As a result, when I looked around, I found that they were actually surrounded by a lot of strange people in the center.

The explosion just now attracted all the monsters. The fact that Xiao Longnu entered the fighting form also showed that something was wrong. Of course, the monsters couldn't let me die before taking them away. This was related to their freedom plan.

The knight whispered softly: "We seem to have stung a hornet's nest."

I slowly descended in front of them. Now that I have a hundred thousand super monsters supporting me, what do I have to fear? "I have already said that it is okay to bargain before a transaction is made, but to regret it after it is confirmed is a breach of contract. Are you ready to accept sanctions?"

"Hmph! The worst case scenario is hanging up. Why are you so arrogant? How amazing are you?" That woman is really silly and cute!

"Hahahaha! Do you think it's as simple as hanging up here once?" I waved to Dragon Girl: "Show them."

Xiao Longnu suddenly pounced on those people. The little dragon girl is a divine dragon, and all attributes in the water have bonuses, but the opponent is not an aquatic creature, and all attributes are restricted. They were all killed easily, but soon the six of them appeared again, with the fragments of their last body that had been torn apart by Xiao Longnu suspended in the sea water next to them.

"Why am I still here?" The woman looked around in surprise.

A younger person behind her shouted: "Resurrection here!"

I smiled and said: "How is it? Are you ready to be killed and returned to Novice Village?"

"Wait!" The knight suddenly shouted at the beginning.

"What?"

The knight said slowly: "We just violated the agreement, and you are going to kill us back to Novice Village. Is this too much?"

"Don't go too far. I'm afraid you won't remember what credit is."

The knight immediately said: "Then we use the eggs below to trade with you. The eggs belong to you and you let us go."

"Since you just violated the agreement, those eggs no longer belong to you. Do you still want my things to trade with me?"

"You are so unreasonable!" the woman shouted angrily.

"There is no need to talk morally with people like you. These are your true words, and now I give them back to you. Anyone else who is dissatisfied can appeal, but I will reject them all, so it doesn't matter whether you appeal or not."

"Why are you the judge and the plaintiff?" The youngest of the six people suddenly spoke. At first I thought he was a man. I didn't expect it to be a woman, and her voice was actually very sweet.

I held out a fist. "Because I have bigger fists than you."

"You are really a rude person. Civilized people don't speak with their fists."

"I originally wanted to solve it with you in a civilized way, but it's a pity that you have thrown away civilization. If you abide by the agreement, I will not make things difficult for you. Just hand over the two red-striped magic crystals and you will You can leave with those eggs. Although I made a bit more money in this transaction, this is the result of negotiation. If you think it is unreasonable, you can refuse. I am not buying and selling by force. But since you agreed. I won’t do it anymore. It’s time to regret it. If you think I took too much, you didn’t have to agree to my conditions in the first place.”

The knight suddenly said: "We can give you money."

"How much money are you going to pay for the lives of the six of you?" Having money is the key.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"One hundred thousand crystal coins."

"You're not going to steal it!"

"Can you make a counteroffer? Counteroffers are allowed before the agreement is established."

"Up to 10,000."

"Isn't 10,000 too little? You don't seem to be poor. Isn't this too stingy? 30,000 should be good."

"Fifteen thousand, not even a copper coin more." the woman shouted.

"Deal." Small money is also money, and every profit is worth every penny.

The knight suddenly said: "We don't have any money with us. Can we give it to you when we get back?"

"Then we have to make a contract, and the handling fee is yours."

"Can."

I summoned the contract to sign, and after writing the contents, both parties confirmed it. I turned around and said to the monsters: "Gather everything together, we are ready to leave."

"Where are you going?" the knight asked.

"go out."

"Go out? To the sea, right?"

"Roughly the same."

"Aren't you going to take us with you?" the woman asked.

"Why should I take you with me?"

"You promised to take us out."

"That agreement has been broken by you. I have no obligations to fulfill. The contract I signed just now is only that I will no longer make things difficult for you, and it does not include rescuing you."

"You won't get the money if we don't get out." The woman threatened innocently.

"Can you please go and read the agreement again? When we sign the land, we collect money from your guild, not you personally. Unless your guild is dissolved, I can collect the money as long as I leave here. Whether you can leave or not is none of my business. "

"you……!"

"If nothing happens, I'm leaving." I said to Chili, "Take those eggs down there and let's get out of here."

A large group of monsters quickly gathered over and put all the things they collected into the Qiankun bag for me. The knight was still saying to the woman: "It doesn't matter, there are so many of them, we just follow them. They can't disappear suddenly."

I smiled and put away the full Qiankun bag. "Everyone, please pay attention. We don't know whether the Qiankun Gourd has tracking ability. Your strength has been severely reduced after being sealed for so long. If you are discovered by the gods as soon as you go out, you may not be a match, right?"

Shuixu and the others immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this. The big monsters led by Shuixu and the others should have been on the same level as Suzaku and the others. But now he can't even defeat me, and the monster behind is even weaker. If he is really caught by the gods, he will really be punished. They all became worried after hearing my reminder.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. In fact, the gods don't know that we can go out. So they won't specially arrange any advanced formations. You just need to restrain your behavior."

"That's right!" The monsters reacted immediately. The surroundings were filled with the sound of curses, and suddenly all the monsters disappeared. In fact they turn invisible rather than disappear.

I said to the monsters behind me: "Okay, now you can't see each other, so take me as your target. Just follow me, but don't lose me." In fact, this was meant for those monsters. 6 people listened. The monsters won't lose me. They are faster than me.

After speaking, the six people suddenly reacted. They just planned to follow us out for free, but the monsters were invisible and I was so fast that it was impossible for them to keep up. But by the time they remembered, it was too late.

I suddenly turned around and opened my wings and swam out. The huge wings had amazing propulsion power in the water. I could flap my wings a few times and my speed would become very fast. I didn't take them with me on purpose, so I also kept Xiao Longnu. Only the petite peppers swam with me.

In the blink of an eye I disappeared into the shadow of the shipwreck. The monsters are very fast, and they can track the evil spirit in me without losing it. Only the six people were floating in the water with big eyes and small eyes. There is a black magic aura rewarded by the system under my feet, which cannot be eliminated no matter where I go. When I was here just now, the space was illuminated by the faint light of the halo and I could still see something. As soon as I left, it was completely dark. The six people couldn't even see each other, let alone see anything.

hey-hey! Although it is said that businessmen lose their anger rather than their wealth, my desire for revenge is very strong. There must be a price for offending me! Just let them hang out in it for a while! It is estimated that they can come out when Heaven finds out that all the monsters have escaped.

While I was talking, I had already found the vertical shaft in the mausoleum. Like the hole above, it had been enlarged a lot. It was just a big hole. The King Kong Devil Ray has been waiting for me here for a long time. He immediately swam over when he saw me appearing. "How did you get here?"

"I found something good. I was delayed for a while. It's okay now. Let's go."

The King Kong Devil Fish immediately said: "I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome."

"What's the matter?"

"You'll know when you get down."

I followed the King Kong Manta Ray and quickly rushed to the bottom of the vertical shaft. "Holy crap! What happened?"

There should have been tunnels extending in all directions from this vertical shaft, and each tunnel led to a vortex in the ocean. But now what I see is a completely sealed bottom. Not to mention extending in all directions, there is not even a passage. The surrounding cave walls are excavated rock. It was very smooth due to the water, and there were rocks under my feet. It was sealed!

"What happened?" Shuixu's voice appeared next to me.

"I don't know, it turns out this isn't like this!"

"Did the passage disappear?" Another voice appeared above me.

When the monsters behind heard that the passage was gone, they all started to get confused. A man who was about to die suddenly realized that he had seen it wrong when he saw a glimmer of hope. This emotional fluctuation was so great that even these old monsters couldn't stand it and started to panic.

"Don't make any noise! ​​I promise to take everyone out. You calm down first." It's really terrible! I thought I could go out this way, but who knew that something like this would happen!

I began to analyze the situation carefully. First the rocks! The walls and floor are rocky. It's completely sealed here. But I am sure that there was once a connection here, and it was directly connected to the sea, so the sudden appearance of rocks must have blocked the passage.

I lay on the ground and knocked on the ground, and the sound sounded hollow. I summoned the little dragon girl and asked her to add a light spell to the nearby wall. Although I have night vision, I need to check the ground now and have to be clearer.

It turns out that my idea was correct, and I immediately discovered the problem as soon as the light appeared. Night vision state cannot distinguish colors. Now when there is light, things with different colors can be separated immediately. The rocks on the walls are gray-white and are accumulation rocks, but the ground is black rocks with some green reflective materials mixed in.

I carefully turned eternity into a small shovel and dug out a reflective object. "Opal?"

Xiao Longnu took the shining gem from the side and looked at it. "It's true that it's cat's eye. So isn't this below a magma rock?"

Even Xiao Longnu noticed it, and of course I also noticed that the magma beneath my feet was obviously newly solidified magma. I put my hand on the ground and felt it, but there seemed to be no warmth. Turn eternity into a hollow tube with an opening and plunge it into the ground. After the change, eternity is 6 meters long. After everything was submerged under the ground, I grabbed the handle and turned it twice before pulling up. After the hollow tube is pulled out, the sample from the ground is taken out from the center. The first two meters are all rock, but the rock below is hot ground. The bottom part even glows red. When the water touches this red rock, it quickly vaporizes and bubbles appear.

"Haha! Got it."

"Have you found the way?" The monsters became excited when they heard that I understood.

"This channel is still open, but the long-term vortex has penetrated the crust of the sea floor, and the magma has been sucked into the channel. At this time, the flow of water stopped, and the incoming magma lost its pressure and became blocked in the channel. It cooled and solidified into what it is now.”

"Then what do we do?"

"Drill it! What else can we do? By the way, you monsters should have the ability to walk through walls, right?"

"We know how to penetrate the wall, but the wall is only so thick after all. This passage must be a long way away. Maintaining the wall-penetrating technique for a long time is too expensive. We have been sealed for too long. Now we have to maintain the water-dividing spell. I have used too much mana, and there is no way I can use the wall penetration technique for a long time."

"If you can't use the wall penetration technique, just dig honestly!" I shouted to the top: "Hey! Do any of you have pangolin spirits? Or weasels can do it! If that doesn't work, there are always vixens, right?"

Shuixu suddenly removed his invisibility and appeared next to me. I stared at him in surprise. "what are you doing?"

Xiao Longnu said next to me: "Master, have you forgotten that proverb?"

"What proverb?"

"A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse will give birth to a son who will dig holes."

Holy shit! How could I forget this? Isn't water deficiency just a rat spirit? Drilling holes is his specialty!

Shuixu quickly revealed his true form, and a huge, fat rat appeared in front of us, its two eyes flashing with a strange red light. He moved his two paws first. "I haven't done this work for tens of thousands of years. I don't know if I still remember it! You all get out of the way, I'm about to start."

"Wait a minute! Add a fire-proof spell first. Once you hit it, it will be filled with lava. Be careful and it will turn into a roasted red rat."

"Tch! Even the true fire of Samadhi can't do anything to me. What are you afraid of with this kind of fire? Just stay away."

Shuixu suddenly jumped up and jumped to the ground like a diver. His body began to rotate at high speed during the fall, and his two big claws in front were like drills. As soon as Shuixu, who was spinning at high speed, hit the ground, rocks splashed out, and he really sank into the ground like diving. As expected of a super rat, he has such a unique personality when digging holes.

After the water subsided, I shouted to the back: "Are there any ice-type monsters?"

Three beautiful female monsters suddenly appeared next to me, and I didn't bother to ask them what monsters they were. "There will definitely be magma down there soon. You guys go down and help cool the magma into rock, otherwise the cave entrance will be closed again soon."

"Understood." The three monsters suddenly turned into three white lights and chased into the cave.

It should be almost done now.

Shuixu digs holes very quickly, so we wait for him on top. The entrance to the cave was very messy. Bubbles were popping out and a few pieces of ice floated out. It must have reached the magma layer. When hot lava comes into contact with sea water, bubbles will appear. But when an ice monster is frozen, the bubbles will stop, and the overfrozen ice will float up due to buoyancy.

It alternated between bubbling and ice for a while, and then it suddenly became quiet. The bubbles were gone and the ice was gone.

"Why did it stop?" Bi Tuo, one of the four monsters, asked me curiously.

"I don't know either, it's really weird. It's not what it should be! By the way, you must have dug too much!" I quickly shouted to the bottom: "Shuixu! Stop digging now, you've dug too much!"

After waiting for a long time, Shuixu came up with three ice monsters. Shuixu had returned to his human form, but now his face was as dark as a coal worker. "What's wrong?"

"You've gone too far!"

"What? Too much?" Shui Xu looked down: "Don't the passage lead all the way out?"

"Nonsense, of course it's not straight through! Go down from here, then turn sideways to enter the formal passage. You should dig along the magma. If you dig outside the magma, you must be digging wrong."

"Did you tell me earlier! I'll go down then!" Shuixu took three ice monsters down and started fighting again. I followed him down to guide the route.

It is easier to conduct sound in water, and the echo of this kind of channel itself is relatively loud. The roar of Shuixu digging a hole in front is almost like happening right next to my ears. From time to time, I can also hear the sound of vaporized water and the sound of water being vaporized. The rock cooled rapidly and made an explosive crackling sound. My ears felt a little numb!

The roar of digging suddenly disappeared, and the sound of water came from the front, as well as Shuixu's cry: "Come here!"

"What's the matter?"

"Come and take a look. I don't know what's going on."

I quickly ran over to see what was going on. A space has been cleared by Shuixu at the end of the passage. This place is obviously a man-made stone chamber. Shuixu saw me coming and said, "I was digging for lava and suddenly it disappeared here. I removed all the surrounding rocks that were formed by the magma to form a space like this, and there is this thing in the middle." .

I looked at what Shuixu was pointing at. "How could it be this thing?"
