The Black Pearl stopped above the blue hole, showing a mysterious and dim dark blue tone. Many people were as restless as Russell, their scalps were numb, and they wanted to grab the rudder and turn around and leave.
The blue hole looks like a big mouth, which will swallow the Black Pearl in the next second, or directly stretch out a big hand and drag the Black Pearl into the deep sea.
"There is always a way..."
Russell's eyes twitched. He had just asked the system to use the Maelstrom's skill card to build a channel directly to the bottom of the sea. However, the cheating system once again prompted that it must touch the sea surface before it can be used.
To be honest, there is no need for this guy to pretend. Can you please be accommodating?
Russell glanced under the boat. The light blue water was bottomless, and the darkness seemed to hide monsters from the abyss. After just one glance, his legs softened unsatisfactorily.
"Barbossa, Jack, are you sure the trident is down there?" Russell said without giving up: "Actually, I have heard some rumors that in the sea area where the trident is located, there is an island made of diamonds, corresponding to the stars in the sky. I think it is very Reliable, think about it carefully!"
Barbossa and Jack looked at each other, then shook their heads: "Captain, the trident is down there."
"Okay, order the sails to be folded, and I will open the waterway immediately." Russell stood on the side of the ship with a dark face, and before jumping off, he threatened fiercely: "It's best if the trident is below, or I will throw you into the sea. Let the Flying Dutchman come and take you to hell.”
The sound of splashing into the water, as well as screams and curses, were heard from under the boat. Barbossa and Jack pretended not to hear them, and plucked their ears to look at the blue sky and white clouds. They are smart people who know what to hear and what not to hear, and now they are temporarily deaf.
"Barbossa, is the captain afraid of the sea?" Turner stood aside and asked quietly.
Barbossa ran away after hearing this. Jack came to Turner very seriously and patted him on the shoulder: "Turner, you have to remember that the captain is fearless. If he is afraid of the sea, then Barbossa and I are too. , everyone on this boat should be afraid, do you understand?"
Turner understood instantly and nodded quickly. At this moment, the calm sea surface suddenly trembled, the sea area in front of the Black Pearl twisted and rotated, and a large whirlpool slowly formed.
Russell jumped on the deck and walked back to the captain's cabin with food. Behind him, white waves rolled out from the sea water. The spiral current opened a channel and led the Black Pearl to move forward.
Barbossa and Jack compete for the rudder and pilot the Black Pearl through the deep sea. This legendary experience is likely to only happen once in a lifetime, and neither of them wants to let the other show off.
Eventually, Turner and Elizabeth drag Jack away and hand the ship's helm to the more experienced Barbossa.
"What, he has more experience, how did you see that?" Jack's eyes widened and he pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Are you blind? Is it just because his beard is whiter than mine?"
Elizabeth reasonedly said: "The previous naval battle was the Black Pearl controlled by Barbossa, and that time was also a maelstrom."
Jack: "..."
It makes sense, but...it's my turn once and for all!
The Black Pearl cut into the fast current and fell into the depths of the blue hole at an extremely fast speed. Barbossa tried hard to maintain the balance of the ship and made a few strange screams of excitement from time to time.
Just like an experienced driver driving at night and racing on winding mountain roads, unfamiliar mountain roads are more exciting and more conquering than the few tracks he usually runs on.
In the same way, experienced drivers like to try all kinds of new cars!
The currents were turbulent, and sharks and corals fell onto the deck from time to time. Turner and Elizabeth hurriedly returned to the cabin, leaving Barbossa screaming and Jack refusing to leave.
Russell was sitting in the captain's cabin, opened the window and looked around, and suddenly remembered something very important... How to get up there later?
There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. There is a saying that Jack and Barbossa often say, it doesn't matter if you don't know the destination, just raise the sail first. A man from the sea who could say such things would definitely not care whether the trip came back or not. Russell thought about it and didn't tell them.
The Black Pearl dived deeper and deeper, and the sky slowly shrank into a point of light. Just as the current gradually weakened, the ship's hull suddenly passed through an invisible membrane.
Russell saw artificially carved hollow doors on both sides of the blue hole. The huge door separated two worlds, which gave him a feeling like the last time he went to the end of the world.
Jack is right, the Trident does not exist in the human world!
"Boom! Boom! Boom--"
The ship sailed into a high-speed waterway, and the surrounding seawater was blocked by an invisible barrier. The ear-piercing roar disappeared instantly, and it was terrifyingly quiet under the deep sea.
Russell rushed onto the deck and saw the inverted blue zenith separating the sky and the earth under the sea. Dots of sunlight refracted and converged, illuminating the deep sea like daylight on the ground.
"It turns out there is such a world under the ocean!"
In a daze, Barbossa let go of the rudder and found that there was no one driving the ship, and the Black Pearl could sail automatically, allowing him to appreciate the vast underwater world.
On the sky dome, countless marine life roamed, including black schools of fish, huge whales in groups of three to five, magnificent coral reefs, and... Barbossa's face changed slightly. He saw several monsters bigger than the North Sea Kraken. A huge shadow, not a school of fish but a whole body.
The Black Pearl sailed along the waterway, and the deck was covered with pirates watching the fun. The black shadow that covered the sky made them wonder. It turned out that the Kraken had relatives.
After about ten minutes, the speed of the waterway slowed down, and the Black Pearl sailed into the deep sea land. On both sides of the waterway were strange coral rocks, and a gray city was vaguely visible in the front.
At the entrance to the city, two Optimus pillars stand tall, each one hundreds of meters high. There are many such pillars in the city.
Russell's mind was wide open, and an ominous guess came to his mind: "Is this world... connected to the Saint Seiya?"
The Black Pearl sailed along the waterway and passed two pillars. Russell stood on the deck and suspected that these two pillars were the gates of the city. The strange symbols carved on it are neatly arranged and can be regarded as the laws of the city, requiring outsiders to abide by them and not make mistakes.
The gray city revealed its true appearance. It was a dilapidated city with broken walls and ruins. The ground was paved with neat stone bricks. Collapsed columns and palace ruins could be seen everywhere. Vertical and horizontal waterways extend in all directions and shuttle through every corner. They are still in normal operation today. You can imagine how glorious it once was.
The pirates clucked their tongues in disbelief, with deep shock in their eyes. They all opened their eyes wide and marveled at the magnificence of this majestic city. On the ground, no city had ever made them feel as small as this.
"The lost civilization...Atlantis..." Russell whispered softly, firmly believing that the Trident was here, just like the desolate underwater world in the original book, with only a few corals and not even a decent palace. All the money must have been spent on special effects.
The Black Pearl drifted toward the center of the city. The pirates were determined to disembark and search for treasure, but lowering the anchor could not stop the Black Pearl. The only thing they could do was to turn the rudder and let the ship continue deeper.
Finally, there were more and more dilapidated palaces on both sides. The Black Pearl automatically docked at a berth, and what came into view was a huge square built with bricks. Unable to visually measure the length and width, I can only say that it is a piece of cake to stand a square of 30,000 to 50,000 people.
At the end of the square, there is a giant stone statue of a giant in armor walking on the waves, waving a trident in his hand. The face cannot be seen clearly because the statue is broken from the shoulders up and is bare and headless.
Behind the statue, there is a well-preserved palace, supported by hundreds of pillars and tall doors to ensure that even giants can pass freely.
Russell jumped down and strode towards the palace. This majestic palace was the center of the entire city and the most likely place where the Trident was hiding.
The pirates lowered the ropes and followed in a swarm off the ship. Jack, Barbossa, Elizabeth, and Turner followed Russell closely, and walked quickly for five minutes to finally arrive at the entrance of the palace.
The moment they stepped into the palace, others looked up at the stone wall and felt themselves insignificant, while Russell once again noticed the barrier. The majestic city had been in ruins for who knows how long, and he had not encountered the scent of any living thing along the way. However, the magic barrier continued to operate, and he could not help but be cautious.
There seemed to be a layer of water flowing on the roof of the hall, with sparkling blue light shining down. A faint coercion lingered within it, making everyone afraid to move rashly.
The pirates walked a few steps before swallowing their saliva and exiting the palace in fear, looking for treasure elsewhere. Russell and Barbossa continued to go deeper, and at the end of the hall, they saw another statue.
The gleaming white statue was carved from an unknown object. It was exactly the same as the one on the square. However, the statue was well preserved and its size was not much different from that of an ordinary person. Poseidon held a trident and stared up at the sky.
The Poseidon on the statue is a handsome and muscular man with a chiselled face and well-defined muscles. He is so lifelike that he seems to be able to come alive at any time.
Russell glanced twice, and then his attention was attracted by the trident in his hand. The whole body was dark, only the three blades of the spear head shone with cold light.
Although this trident is a bit simpler and not gorgeous at all, it is more than a hundred times better than the fifty-cent prop in the original work. At least it will not break at a touch in close combat.
Russell took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, walked to the statue, raised his hand and touched the trident.
A little cold!
【Ding】
[The host touches the Poseidon Trident and triggers the lottery. Do you want to draw now? 】
With secret joy in his heart, Russell's expression remained unchanged, and he silently asked the system to start the lottery.
[Item Card: Poseidon Trident·Remnant (broken divine object, collect seven to fuse and repair)]
What the hell is collecting all seven, making a wish?
Russell complained, and Turner next to him saw the artifact that saved his father from suffering, and he also touched it. The tentacles were cold, so he quickly retracted his hand in fright, and ended up touching the statue of Poseidon.
"Buzz buzz----"
The trident buzzed, and azure light instantly filled the entire hall, and a majestic pressure swept across the entire city in an instant.
【Ding】
[The host contacts Poseidon, the King of the Sea, triggers the lottery link, and gets four lottery opportunities. Do you want to draw now? 】
Russell: (￣△￣；)
Damn it, can I say bad words?
