The water vesicles slowly rose to the surface, and as the surrounding waters receded, Hao Ren found himself in an unusually calm water.He looked around and saw that not far in front of him was a small black turtle-shaped island, which was bare and empty, while the area around the island was clear and clear, and the air was excellent, and he did not see the large fog he expected."
You say this place is called the Isle of the Mist?"
Lily looked at the black island in surprise, "It doesn't look like there's any fog at all." ”"Look around," Shakira pointed to the sea with the tip of her tail, "can you see any references?"
Even a wave is fine. ”Vivien's eyes widened, "Nothing......
This water surface is incredibly quiet, and you can't even see the slightest ripple?!
”The entire sea as far as the eye can see is so calm that it is almost eeriely calm, and there is no reference on the sea level as far as the eye can see, and the sea is calm as if it has been artificially polished as a perfect mirror, and not even the slightest fold does not exist.The light is even in every direction, and the sun hangs in the middle of the sky as if it had been finely calibrated and shines evenly, adding to the eerie nature of the waters.The black island not far away is the only strange color between the sea and the sky, and the whole world seems to be a monotonous blue and white, and the boundary is clearly divided into two parts, no doubt - this is not a natural phenomenon."
Are we still on Earth?"
Hao Ren patted his pocket and muttered in a voice that was almost talking to himself, and the voice of the data terminal sounded in his head: "Coordinate comparison......
The current location is still Earth, but there is a barrier-like layer around it, which changes the natural landscape within the area.It has obvious traces of artificial encryption, but we have already entered it once, and next time the machine is confident that it will crack the entry pattern of this place. ”"This is the Isle of the Mist, and the Mist is not on the island, but in the entire space," Soma swam around the crowd, introducing the only entrance to the Siren World, "You can only see the Isle of Mist in front of you by passing through a few correct nodes in a row, and any other route that comes close to this body of water will encounter an eternal fog, and even the most advanced human ships will go back the way they came, after a few large circles."
Many not-so-foolish voyagers have recorded the fog in this place, so we have to change the pattern and location of the fog every once in a while, and the explorers are so difficult to know how they are so interested in knocking on our door. ”"You can only enter Nasaton by diving down from the shore on the side of the Isle of Mist, and the water body around this island is the most critical 'node' leading to Nasaton," Shakira swam over and took Nangong May's hand, "Little sister, do you remember the information about the water flow you just passed?"
”As a kraken, Nangong May could sense the "route" just now.She nodded, her face full of surprise: "I didn't expect my hometown to be so hidden......
It's so much better than I thought.No wonder I tried a few times before and couldn't find the Siren City. ”"Your mother may have kept you away from Nasaton to protect you, but it's a matter of pity not to be able to return to your homeland," Soma swam over, "and you may come and go as you please, and you may bring these friends who are here today—but not anyone else."
Finally, despite the trouble Nasatone may seem to be in, you are still welcome home, young sister. ”The three krakens turned over and jumped into the water, their scales reflecting the golden light in the sun, and Doudou was poking his head out of Hao Ren's collar to observe the outside world, and when he saw this, he also jumped down with a cheer, flicking his tail to catch up with the three "sisters".The little guy also jumped out of the water from time to time excitedly along the way, like a dolphin in the air and turned around to greet everyone: "Water!
That's a lot of water!
Loved this place!
”The vastness of the sea seemed to make the little one feel familiar with the world of her homeland, and she seemed extremely excited from just now.Hao Ren and the others stepped on the foam and water under their feet, and gradually approached the black island behind the three kraken.Nangong Sanba looked at the scene on the island, and seemed to suddenly see something of concern, raised his hand and shouted to the kraken in the distance: "Can you go to the island to have a look?"
”"No problem," Shakira's voice came from the front, "but don't linger too long!"
”The group set foot on the black Turtle Back Island, which had never been recorded on any nautical chart, and its shape was not at all like a natural creation, and the whole island was like a whole metal device, and its surface was covered with large, but not deep, grooves.Lily bent down and touched the black, cold "ground" and exclaimed, "It's warm?!"
”"There's an energy reaction in the depths of this island," the voice of the data terminal sounded in the minds of Hao Ren and the others, "It's a part of a huge spherical device that emerges from the water.The ball floats in the water, and the machine scans that it has 135 pipes connected to the bottom of the sea, which may be a system that interacts with the heat energy of the seabed.And the device itself is the source of the Mist Enchantment. ”On the black island, you can see sparsely distributed man-made objects that look like corals, poking out of the ground in clumps, but with a faint fluorescence floating on the surface.Curious, Elizabeth poked one of the "corals", which immediately emitted a pleasant wind chime.Then the little girl was black-faced.Elizabeth was still happy: "It's so exciting!
”"I thought the Kraken could only do magic......"
Hao Ren looked at all this in amazement, "I didn't expect them to make such a thing." ”"Can't you build automata with magic?"
Vivien asked rhetorically, "And a race that has not been disturbed by the outside world has developed in the deep sea for 10,000 years, how can they not make something powerful to guard their home."
After all, in a sense, they are the earliest civilization on the planet. ”At this time, there was a sound of water behind the crowd, and Shakira climbed up to the shore to greet everyone: "Are you ready to dive?"
”The group rode the water vesicle to the deep sea, and during the dive, Hao Ren and they had been paying attention to the direction of the misty island, and they really saw the real appearance of this "island" under the water described by the data terminal.It was a huge, unfriendly ball, and the part below the surface of the water was much more complex.Below the midline of the sphere, a number of shimmering bumps can be seen, which light and shade in a rhythm, as if they are reacting to the currents around the sea.At the bottom of the ball were a large number of black cables that looked like deep-sea cables, scattered and lowered into the deep water, and finally disappeared into the endless darkness, where they extended.It's not a technological artifact, it's a giant magical device - but to Earth's civilization, it's no different from the high level of extraterrestrial science.After the water vesicle dived to a certain depth, it changed course and began to move away from the misty island, Hao Ren noticed that there were some bright light clusters flashing outside from time to time, which could be glowing animals from the deep sea, or some kind of "signpost" set up by the kraken.Doudou was interested after wandering around outside, and was now swimming around the outer wall of the water vesicles, jumping in and out of the bubbles that opened in the water wall from time to time, and "rolling" was lying next to the hole where Doudou entered and exited and carefully guarded, she was responsible for preventing Doudou from falling - this cat knew that if she didn't take good care of the fish, she would not only be beaten by the fish, but also probably not want to eat dried fish for the rest of her life......
"We should be crossing a spatial layer," Yizax suddenly sensed, He looked up at the dark wall of water above, "I feel something change......
The Kraken's magic is so clever that the layers of space they create are so smooth that they are almost imperceptible. ”"So it's almost impossible for someone who accidentally strays into it to get out alive, and before you know it, you've entered a boundless world of water," Shakira said beside her, "Even though we don't recruit anyone to live in our own little kingdom, every year there are still many reckless adventurers who take the initiative to break in, and they will get lost in this layered and invisible labyrinth of the deep sea, and we have sent a lot of Krakens to patrol outside, and we will try to rescue those who are in distress, But there are still unlucky ones who will miss the rescue.But it's been a hundred years since I've been out of here, and I don't know if any humans have been here lately. ”At this time, a bright light appeared at the front of the water vesicle, and Soma's voice came from the front: "I can see the Nasaton Great Parapet." ”(To be continued.) )
