"The Crystal Palace will shine in the eyes of dragons and mermaids." She guessed their doubts. "In your eyes, it seems to be a transparent building that is completely integrated into the darkness. You must be careful, even if it is a transparent wall, Can also be used for hiding.”
"We are waiting for you some distance above, where there was a sunken ship before. If you encounter danger, come up and don't stay down there for too long." Another young man said.
A few people nodded and then moved towards the darkness.
"You guys have to come back quickly!" Miss Quan shouted from behind, and Bai Ya made a simple gesture.
Maybe they were used to the darkness, but they were not overly afraid. They just moved forward as if newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. They quickly touched the bottom of this area. There was not a lot of sand here, but it felt hard to the touch. Qi Huan bent down, reached out and grabbed a handful on the ground. It felt very hard. Excluding the blue light brought by amber, this area should be a gray-white coral reef.
An octopus hiding in the depression was disturbed. It flew away in disgust, causing a burst of dark gray dust.
Mr. Shuangyue raised his arm to stop them in front, signaling them not to move forward.
The eyes of the Six Paths Impermanence may be able to see something unusual like a shark. Bai Ya suddenly stretched out his hand towards Liu Shenghan. After a brief moment of confusion, she understood what he meant and handed the amber into his hand.
Just like he had done with Lu Wu for the first time, he raised the amber in front of his eyes and scanned the darkness in front of him through it. Unexpectedly, the Crystal Palace was closer than he thought, almost within reach. No wonder Shuoyue Lord asked them to stop. The Crystal Palace—Dragon Palace was standing in front of him. As long as he took a few steps forward, he could touch the bright and icy walls. Too close, even through the blue and white sky, you can't get a full view of the Dragon Palace. He could only see that all the building parts were emitting a faint light, and he could not tell the color, except that they looked cold. Moreover, they are all translucent. It seems that he can see something through the wall, but it seems that he can't see anything... He can't describe this feeling, the transparency and haziness, clarity and blur of looking at flowers in the fog.
It's like a kind of transparency with color.
Qi Huan reached out and took the blue amber from Bai Ya's hand, imitating his appearance, seeing the same scene and feeling the same as him. Qi Huan couldn't describe it, but he found that the silent communication between several people was much smoother without knowing it. Compared to that time when they were dancing under the sea and not knowing what to do, now they have a better understanding, which may be a good thing.
Liu Shenghan's eyes were a little dim. She glanced at Qi Huan who was watching her and shook her head.
She seemed to be saying: It would be great if Jun Aoyan was here too.
Bai Ya wanted to return the amber to her, but she waved her hand and pushed it back, as if she didn't need it. He was a little confused, but accepted it.
——Then you stay with us.
So far, nothing special seems to have happened. Qi Huan thought that the Dragon Palace, which they described so horribly, would look like an evil dragon occupying it, even if it wasn't magnificent, but it was still very quiet now. As soon as he thought of this, he felt something strange behind him and turned back suddenly. The others noticed it almost at the same time and turned back with him. But behind him there was nothing but endless darkness—darkness that even amber could not light up.
But that feeling... was very real. It was like some huge fish, or an invisible ghost, quietly passing behind them. Perhaps, the masters of the deep sea are in a place beyond their reach, silently watching every move of these people.
Bai Ya raised his hand, held Lan Po in his hand, and closed his fingers. He seemed to be saying to everyone:
Now let's dim the light. In the past, it might have served as a demonstration to deter foreign objects from approaching. But now they don't know what they will face, so they have to be careful not to be taken as a provocation by those unknown monsters.
The range of the light shrank, barely enough for four people to get together in a small area. Looking through the gaps between his fingers and looking at everything in front of him through Lan Bo, Bai Ya felt a little dizzy. His sight was in this irregular sphere, and the picture was a little distorted. Moreover, he knew nothing about this place. No matter how good his sense of direction was, he couldn't withstand such a torment - this place was just like a maze. However, the Shuangyue Lord in sight was strolling leisurely, as if he was "going back to his own home".
"Do you know the mechanism of the tomb?"
This voice suddenly fell into the originally quiet ears of several people, and they were all startled. If they didn't know that it was Lord Shuangyue's voice, they might have lost their souls. The three of them looked at him and suddenly stopped, and the light stopped moving forward. This made Mr. Shuangyue in front a little confused.
"Why don't you talk?"
How to say?
"Use that one?"
Lord Shuangyue pointed at the amber in Bai Ya's hand, and he was stunned for a moment. Of course Qi Huan knew that Poseidon's magic weapon could directly connect the minds of living creatures, but how to do it? How did Mr. Shuangyue do it?
"How does this work?"
The question in my mind actually made my "voice" come out directly. He subconsciously covered his mouth, then realized it was unnecessary.
"Uh, let me go... Here, I don't know what's going on. This makes me afraid to think randomly. It would be very shameful if I have any unspeakable thoughts and are heard. Alas, this is a little bit There was no movement at all, so I was scared." Yunnan
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
"Wow, Lao Bai, you can speak now. This is so easy."
"For the time being... it seems that only the information that needs to be conveyed can be selectively expressed by Amber." This is Liu Shenghan's voice, "Maybe even Yaksha cannot achieve complete ideological commonality. Maybe it is related to tacit understanding. , when the tacit understanding reaches a certain level, you can really talk about everything and know everything.”
"That is a very grand and terrible thing." This is the voice of Lord Shuangyue. "If it is completely realized, I am afraid that Yaksha has already unified the Nine Heavens Kingdom."
In fact, strictly speaking, the voices they heard in their heads did not really come from everyone's voice. But these words that are directly thrown into their thoughts can indeed make them clearly realize who said which words, just like a dream.
The problem of dialogue was solved in this way. They were all a little happy, but their worries remained. What's more, they don't know how far the communication network given to them by Lan Po is, and no one dares to try it.
"The Crystal Palace is indeed a maze in essence." This is what the sharks once told them.
Before coming, the sharks had done a lot of homework for several people. In order to prevent the invasion of foreign races, the Crystal Palace has set up many obstacles and mechanisms. These things have condensed the magic power and wisdom of the ancient sharks. Although it sounds like a gorgeous palace, in fact, for foreigners, it is a place of death with no return.
"Why are you so...exaggerated?" At that time, Qi Huan expressed his doubts frankly, "This is already in a very deep sea, so there can't be humans coming, right?"
"The mechanism will not be fatal. The orb can hear our heartbeats in the deep palace." The female shark covered her chest. The shark's heart is in the center of the chest, "But for foreigners, it is very Dangerous. The Crystal Palace is 'alive', it can understand many languages, and can read many people's hearts. What's more, our enemies are far more than just you humans."
Bai Ya then asked: "What else? For example, on land, there are ferocious beasts that pose a threat to people - ferocious sea fish?"
"These are not a big trouble." Another female mermaid with rose-red scales said. She is a little different from other mermaids. Her face is also decorated with a few shining scales, which makes her look somewhat good-looking. She is one of Quan's sisters.
She continued: "You mentioned Yaksha, right?"
"Yaksha?" Liu Shenghan asked, "They...are your enemies?"
"If you are talking about the kind of things that... look very different from us, ugly and strong, with green faces and fangs, then it is them."
"Although we have seen many kinds of ugly things you mentioned, I think we are talking about the same kind." Shenghan nodded.
"Huh, that's them." Miss Quan's sister said, "But they are not our enemies - but ourselves. Isn't it very - incredible? Unexpected?"
Miss Quan's sister seems to have some understanding of the culture on the ground. She knows many words and phrases that others do not understand. Moreover, according to them, she was one of the very few sharks who had been to land - just forty or fifty years ago. But at that time, Jiutian Kingdom was not what it is today, and the orb was still in the hands of the sharks. She was responsible for telling a few people what she saw and heard in the Crystal Palace, as well as everything she knew about Yasha.
"Yaksha is also a shark?" This is indeed surprising.
"Don't say that, they are no longer the same as us." Miss Quan's sister said, "A long time ago, there were some sharks with evil intentions who wanted to steal the orbs, take them for themselves, and build their own kingdom. And regulations. Like all the Mermaids who have gone through many tests, they came to the huge pearl, and then..."
"Then they were all turned into monsters!" Miss Quan heard this story and quickly answered. Her sister was a little dissatisfied and hit her lightly. But it doesn’t matter, this is a story without any suspense.
"So those with evil intentions will be punished by the orb?" Qi Huan asked.
"That's right. They became ugly. No one knew each other. They thought they had met enemies or had hallucinations, and they fought each other. The remaining monsters escaped from the Crystal Palace and never dared to come back. Although they did not make a wish, they grew two legs, and they did not change back. This is an eternal curse. Presumably, their team has grown a lot over the years, after all, there are other sharks who have seen them... But , they even became unable to use their heads, and they were all stupid and stupid. They would only show strong aggression when they saw sharks or humans. Immediately afterwards, all the agencies in the Crystal Palace would respond. They launched a fatal attack - when they came, the orb gave them a chance to give up their thoughts."
"Amber gave them wisdom..." Lord Shuangyue's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, "In other words, by connecting their limited thoughts together, they become smarter."
"That's why they have the brains and courage to do evil on the coast." Bai Ya clenched his fists, "But it doesn't matter, we have stopped those guys. I guess there are still a lot of remnants, but they can't become a big deal anymore."
"Yes." Miss Quan's sister clapped her hands, "That's why we firmly believe that you will definitely have a way to get the orb back!"
"...but that's a dragon."
When their thoughts returned to the present, several people stopped temporarily and looked at Shuangyue Lord to see what he was going to say next.
