"Although this is a 'relatively safe area', you still have to remain vigilant——"

Suddenly, Ke Lan froze in place. The words "vigilance" and "vigilance" were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

Less than two meters directly in front of him, a huge eye was staring at him, with a dim dark green light emitting from the pupil, which was as big as the wheel hub of a heavy truck.

"Gudong."

Ke Lan swallowed with some difficulty. His finger was already on the trigger of the "Shark Hunter" machine gun, but he knew very well that for a creature of this size, the weapon in his hand would be very difficult. It is difficult to cause any substantial damage...

"Liao Zilang...run away, I'll find a way to hold this thing down." Ke Lan said in a very low voice.

There was silence in the darkness, and even the green eye remained motionless.

"Liao Zilang?"

There was no answer... Liao Zilang, who was originally sticking behind him, had disappeared.

"Damn..." Ke Lan gritted his teeth. He believed that Liao Zilang would never escape alone without saying a word. This situation can only mean one thing - Liao Zilang might have encountered something before him. He had lost the ability to issue warnings before he noticed something strange...

Staring at his giant eyes without making any movement, Ke Lan felt that the black water around him seemed to become more and more viscous, as if he had fallen into a swamp, with thick peat wrapping around his torso and limbs, dragging him along. He sank into the abyss little by little...

It seemed as if a hand was squeezing his throat, and the pain of suffocation kept coming up. Ke Lan wanted to struggle, but his hands and feet refused to obey him at all. Some weird hallucination fragments flashed in front of his eyes. Then, vaguely, he seemed to see the pyramid-shaped altar under the glacier...a huge sarcophagus, broken stone tablets, and a humanoid monster stained with blood...

wrong! It's an illusion! It's all an illusion!

Ke Lan suddenly shook, and the feeling of falling and suffocation suddenly disappeared without a trace... However, the huge eye was still there, less than two meters away from him.

"This is……"

Ke Lan got a little closer, and only then did he realize that this huge eye was actually a statue made of rock!

The dark green light comes from a piece of luminous mineral embedded in the statue's pupils.

The craftsmanship of making this statue is very exquisite. No matter which angle Ke Lan looks at it from, the giant eye seems to be staring at him. Even if Ke Lan goes around to the back of the statue, there is an identical giant eye there, in the darkness. Looking at him faintly.

The main body of the statue is a stone pillar as thick as four or five people can hug it. But what makes Ke Lan confused is that the depth here is only one hundred meters. If the bottom of this stone pillar is on the sea bed, then this stone pillar is too deep. Is it high?

Out of curiosity, he fired a flare toward the bottom of the statue——

The strong light released by the burning metal suddenly lit up a large area of ​​water, and the ruins of a huge city suddenly appeared directly below Ke Lan!

"How can it be?!"

Ke Lan held his breath subconsciously, with a look of extreme horror on his face.

This is impossible!

The ruins of the underwater city are in the deep sea with a depth of more than 2,800 meters, but now, Ke Lan is less than fifty meters away from it!

Moreover, the sonar system did not detect any echo...

When he thought about sonar, Ke Lan realized that the three-dimensional image that originally appeared on the eyepiece had long since disappeared. Except for the thruster, all electronic equipment, including various cameras, recording instruments, and micro-sonars, had stopped working. The depth gauge completely failed, and the numbers jumped wildly between zero and several thousand meters...

Ever since the stone pillar carved with a giant eye appeared and Liao Zilang disappeared, everything was no longer normal.

Could this be the ruins of the undersea city?

Could it be that he accidentally passed through a small wormhole or something and was teleported directly here?

No, totally wrong!

If this is the undersea city, the depth it is now should be between 2,800 meters and 3,000 meters. Logically speaking, this depth is more than twice the limit of the deep diving suit. It is powerful. The water pressure will directly compress the deep diving suit into a thin discus, and the Ke Lan inside will also turn into a mixture of plasma, meat paste and bone fragments.

But now, apart from the electronic equipment, there was no problem with the deep-diving suit itself, and Ke Lan didn't feel any discomfort.

This is definitely not an undersea city, at least not the one located in the deep sea!
