"swirl?"
At this time, in front of Bone Island, Mu You also encountered the same situation as Jack.
"How could a whirlpool appear in a place like this?" Lin Xue looked at the huge whirlpool in front of him and was also a little surprised.
She didn't do much research on oceanography, but she also knew that sea whirlpools usually only form at the intersection of ocean currents, and it was too abnormal for such a large whirlpool to suddenly form on a flat and windless sea like the one in front of her.
"There is no problem with the heading..."
Mu You observed the direction of the compass in his hand. As the ship's hull moved around the periphery of the whirlpool, the pointer always pointed steadily at the center of the whirlpool.
"In other words, the entrance is probably in this whirlpool..."
"Is there such an obvious sign at the entrance to Sky City..." Lin Xue asked. In order to prevent the Sky City from being invaded by other tribes, it is said that the entrance will be very hidden, but the giant whirlpool at the moment is too obvious, as long as the nearby creatures can see it.
"It shouldn't be under normal circumstances... I guess it was the tsunami created by King Octopus just now that caused some changes in the entrance position..." Mu You guessed.
No matter what, there is no other way to go now but to trust the compass.
"Rear the sails and enter the whirlpool!" The first website is p://m.biquke.
Mu You gave the order, and the ghost crew members on the ship quickly started working, furling all the sails, then turning the bow of the ship and heading straight towards the large whirlpool ahead.
A dozen ships behind him were still chasing, but the distance was far enough that Mu You ignored them and watched as the Ghost sailed smoothly into the outer range of the whirlpool.
However, just when he thought that the Ghost would start to circle along the vortex, there seemed to be a strange force in the vortex, pushing the Ghost outward.
The Ghost drew an arc around the edge of the vortex, and then was actually thrown out of the vortex from the other side.
"Um?"
"what happened?"
Everyone on the boat looked confused.
Generally speaking, after entering a whirlpool, shouldn't it be carried towards the center by the current? Why was it still ejected?
Mu You hurriedly tried to drive the boat into the whirlpool again, but the result was the same. He was thrown out as soon as he entered, as if he had hit the same pole of some kind of magnetic pole, and was instantly pushed away by a strong repulsive force.
At this time, the fleet of the Divine Right of Kings was approaching in the distance. Some of them continued to chase around the edge of the whirlpool, but there were also a few that had no time to turn and rushed directly into the whirlpool.
What surprised Mu You and others was that their boat rushed into the whirlpool, but was not thrown away. Instead, it began to rotate inward along with the current. No matter how hard the people on the boat rowed, they could not break free.
"Strange, why can they get in?" Xiaoya asked doubtfully, does this whirlpool have double standards?
"Could it be..."
Mu You turned back and glanced at the many ghost crew members on the ship.
The entrance to Dawn City is said to be accessible only to the Fool and his familiars. Could it be that other creatures start to be excluded from here?
Thinking of this, Mu You took out the wind boat and threw it next to the Ghost: "Xiaoxue Xiaoya is coming with me, the others will stay."
"oh……"
Xiaoya didn't ask any questions and hurriedly followed Mu You into the boat. After Lin Xue also got on the boat, Mu You drove the boat towards the whirlpool.
The result was pushed out again.
"Does the backpack also have an impact?"
Mu You looked at a backpack on his waist. This backpack contained Vivian, Little Spider, and many forest elves who had just been rescued from the underwater prison.
Vivian and Little Spider both have a contractual relationship with him. The ones who will affect the vortex judgment at this time should be the elves.
Mu You released Vivian and the little spider chocobo and put them into other backpacks. Then he threw the backpack to the Pandaren on the Ghost before trying to sail into the whirlpool again.
This time, it was finally not ejected again. The boat was smoothly carried by the whirlpool and moved closer to the center.
Sure enough, it’s the influence of the backpack!
Mu You estimates that it is probably because the entrance of the backpack is directly connected to this world, so it is also judged to be the same interface. Unless the entrance is in another interface like the lock core space, the backpack cannot be opened in the star spirit world, so it will not be affected. .
"Wait, Mu You, I'm going too!" Ye Rumeng, who was left on the boat, said hurriedly as she watched the boat quickly move away.
"Stay on the boat and don't run around! Uncle Cat, the boat is in your hands. Help take care of the little girl." Mu You shouted to the panda man.
"Don't worry, I will wait for you to come back outside the evil spirit sea!" Pandaren responded.
"Woooo..."
Just when Mu You finished explaining the arrangements and was about to enter the whirlpool with peace of mind, the familiar roar of the Octopus King sounded again, and this time, it was so close that it seemed to be ringing above everyone's heads...
All the nearby humans subconsciously looked up and saw a huge octopus head emerging from the water on one side of the maelstrom. A pair of deep pupils looked down at the people below like ants. His eyes swept over and quickly focused on the boat where Mu You was.
"Why did you come at this time..."
Mu You frowned secretly, looking at this guy's pointed eyes, it was obvious that he was coming towards him.
Fortunately, he has now entered the vortex. This place excludes all non-Fool creatures. Even the Octopus King should not be able to enter...
Just when Mu You was thinking this, he saw the Octopus King moving. His eight claws emerged from the bottom of the water, and they squirmed quickly towards the whirlpool, and finally rushed directly into the whirlpool.
As expected, this vortex also has a repulsive force on the Octopus King. After entering the vortex, the Octopus King's speed becomes slower and slower, but it is still crawling forward tenaciously. Although it is as slow as a snail, it is indeed getting closer to the center of the vortex. .
Mu You found that he still underestimated this octopus, and actually relied on brute force to forcefully break Dawn City's exclusion rules.
Of course, the repulsive force of this vortex is not so easy to break through. The further the Octopus King swims inward, the slower it becomes. By the time it reaches the middle of the vortex, it is almost stagnant.
But what happened next made everyone even more horrified: after the Octopus King found that he could not go any further, he suddenly shook his eight claws, and the tips of the eight claws all extended into a slender section.
The slender octopus legs extended along the sea surface and wrapped around several ships approaching the center of the whirlpool, including Mu You's small boat.
Several ships immediately fell into stagnation, and they were stuck in the middle of the whirlpool together with the Octopus King, unable to move forward at all. They were even being carried by the Octopus' legs, pulling them outward little by little.
Not only that, after these slender octopus tentacles get wrapped up in the boat, they will split instantly and turn into small octopuses that are half the height of a human and attack the humans on the boat.
The people on each ship hurriedly resisted and used various means to remove the octopus.
On Mu You's side, he and Lin Xue were also trying their best to kill octopuses. However, every time they killed a batch, the octopus legs under the boat would quickly regenerate and then turn into more small octopuses.
The two of them couldn't clear it out by slashing with one knife after another.
"This won't work. We have to cut off the octopus's legs..."
Mu You glanced at the giant octopus in the distance that was also wrapped in the whirlpool, took out the flying broom, held the wand in one hand and the broom in the other, and flew directly out of the boat.
There is also a layer of entangled turbulence above this whirlpool, which is interfering with Mu You's flight, but it is better than being swept away directly by the ocean current underwater.
Moreover, the Octopus King was restricted even more severely at this time. Under the action of the repulsive force, the Octopus King was almost unable to move. If he moved a little, he might be thrown out by the whirlpool, which was a good opportunity to attack.
Mu You flew directly towards the octopus leg wrapped around their boat and found the part exposed on the water. On the wand in his hand, an arc sword dozens of meters long emerged and cut downwards.
I have tried it before in the Dream Castle. The arc sword can cut through the tentacles of the Octopus King. It should be able to do it here too.
However, the Octopus King obviously would not watch himself being attacked. At the moment when the arc struck, countless small tentacles split off the surface of the octopus foot below, and like spiritual snakes, they swept towards Mu You in the sky.
Mu You hurriedly put away the arc sword and concentrated on controlling the broom to dodge. Relying on the speed of the flying broom and the foresight of his pocket watch, he was able to dodge all the tentacles.
It seems that the Octopus King has a memory of the power of the arc sword. He knows that this thing can hurt it and will never let Mu You have a chance to get close.
Mu You rode a broomstick and hovered over Octopus Foot for several weeks, but could never find a chance to strike.
Just when the situation at the scene reached a deadlock, no one noticed that on the edge of the whirlpool, a mermaid emerged from the water.
Looking at the giant octopus in front of her and Mu You who was flying in mid-air fighting, the mermaid hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth, faced the octopus, and let out a series of extremely beautiful songs.
No one could understand what she was singing. She seemed to be simply humming a ballad, but the voice had a strange charm that made the surrounding creatures stop unconsciously and become obsessed with this heavenly voice. .
Even the Octopus King fell into a brief daze because of the mermaid's humming.
Among the creatures present, only Mu You was not affected by the singing.
Mermaid song?
Mu You reacted instantly. Legend has it that some mermaid tribesmen are born with singing voices like nature. By singing, they can seduce sea creatures and navigators, make creatures lose their consciousness, cause ships to hit rocks and sink, etc.
Of course, singing with such a powerful effect must come at a price. The price is that every time the mermaid opens her mouth to sing, her voice will be damaged and it will take a long time to recover.
Mu You looked in the direction of the mermaid. Since he met this mermaid, he had never heard her speak. Now he finally heard her voice, but the price was quite tragic.
Mu You had seen that while the mermaid was singing, she was constantly coughing up blood at the corner of her mouth, obviously suffering from great pain.
Before he had time to think too much, the mermaid gave him an excellent opportunity to attack. At this moment, the Octopus King was also charmed by the mermaid's singing. Even if it was only for a second, it was enough.
Mu You immediately retraced time, turned the broom, and rushed straight towards the octopus feet below.
A large number of tentacles reappeared and swept towards Muyou, but at this moment, the mermaid's song sounded again.
At the same time as the humming sounded, all the tentacles seemed to be petrified and became motionless.
Mu You controlled the broom to move flexibly through the group of tentacles and arrived in front of the octopus's feet. An arc dozens of meters long quickly formed.
The arc sword struck the Octopus King's body without any reservation, cutting through the Octopus' feet at a slow but smooth speed. Although the tentacle was too thick, it couldn't be cut off directly. Only about half of it was cut off, and it was impossible to make any progress.
"Woooo..."
The next second, the Octopus King came to his senses. The cut was obviously painful for him, and he let out a deafening scream. The cut octopus subconsciously curled its feet back, and the boat regained its freedom.
However, other ships were in misfortune. Many of them were carried out of the whirlpool when the Octopus King was struggling, and were crushed to pieces by the furious Octopus King in the air.
Mu You had no time to care about the others, so he hurriedly returned to the boat and sped away.
After the Octopus King struggled, he was also thrown out of the whirlpool and landed on the sea outside. However, he immediately launched an attack on the mermaid who dared to harm his good deeds.
Mu You was originally a little worried about the safety of the mermaid, but it turned out that he had overthought it. The mermaid was much smarter than he thought, and he ran away immediately after finishing the work. In terms of swimming, mermaids are the real overlords of the sea. Even the octopus king cannot catch up with the mermaid's exhaust in the sea.
After confirming that the mermaid was safe, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the boat had already sailed towards the center of the whirlpool. Driven by the water flow, it quickly spun into the vertical waterway in the center of the whirlpool, plummeted downwards, and completely disappeared. on the water.
However, what Mu You didn't notice was that the Octopus King in the distance watched the boat disappear. Instead of rushing into the whirlpool again, he suddenly entangled his eight claws together, and the other seven octopus legs were tightly entangled with the octopus. Mu You chopped off the tentacles, and with a sound of muscle tearing, the octopus foot was torn off.
The torrent of blood instantly dyed the sea surface red, and the whirlpool in the distance turned into a bloody whirlpool.
Then the Octopus King threw the broken octopus leg into the center of the whirlpool...
Mu You didn't know what was happening in the outside world. At this moment, he was falling vertically along the hollow waterway. His speed was getting faster and faster, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, until all light was completely lost.
The ability of night vision has no effect here. In the darkness, Mu You can only feel that the boat is falling, falling...
After sinking for several minutes, the boat's falling speed suddenly slowed down.
Mu You felt as if the gravity on his body had changed direction. The boat was obviously still going downward, but the actual feeling was that it was floating upward.
Then the boat began to rise faster and faster, until a few minutes later, as the surrounding light brightened, the boat finally surfaced.
Mu You opened his eyes and looked, above his head was the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The bright moonlight shone down, reflecting the ground into a silvery white.
At this moment, they are located in a lake, and on the edge of the lake is an endless continent, or 'city'.
The land is strewn with the remains of various buildings, as if it had suffered an unprecedented earthquake or some kind of major collision. In short, all the buildings were in dilapidated condition, and the streets were empty. There was no one in sight, and no one could see them. Any chirping of insects or birds sounds like this is a dead world.
Mu You looked back at the boat beside him. On the boat, Xiaoya and Lin Xue were both there. Except for their pale faces, they seemed uninjured.
"vomit……"
Before Mu You could speak, Xiaoya was lying on the bow of the boat and vomited.
After the turbulence and gravity reversal just now, it is normal to have this kind of seasickness reaction.
On the contrary, Mu You and Lin Xue, probably because they often ride in the dark teleportation array, have long been accustomed to this kind of dizziness, and they didn't feel any discomfort at this time.
The two rowed the boat and docked it on the shore, and helped Xiaoya, who had stars in her eyes, to get ashore.
[You have entered the City of Auroville. There is a no-fly area in the City of Auroville. Please do not try to summon flying creatures or perform any flying operations. 】
"No flying..."
Mu You raised his head and glanced at the ruined city in front of him. He didn't know why. Although it was a normal street layout, he always felt that the scene before his eyes had a sense of incongruity.
"Huh?"
At this time, Lin Xue on the side suddenly raised his hands and stared at the palms of both hands.
"how?"
"The direction here seems to be reversed."
Lin Xue said: "The palm prints on my left and right hands have changed, and the left and right hands have swapped positions."
Then she put a hand on her chest: "Well, the position of the heart has also changed..."
"oh?"
Mu You also took off his gloves and looked at his hands.
Sure enough, the Aries ring originally worn on his right hand had appeared on his left hand.
"In other words, this is equivalent to a mirror world, with all directions reversed..."
Mu You looked up at the street in front of him again, and finally understood why he felt inconsistent.
It's words. On the signboards of the buildings in front, all the words and characters are reversed, which is why they look so awkward.
