Song Xing felt the existence in the mist, and then said: "They were attracted by the light on the golden corpse. These monsters seem to be able to swallow the light, so you can't see anything in your sight."
Everyone became even more frightened. They now knew what was buried in this ruins. It turned out to be a group of strange beings that could swallow light!
"How can we deal with them if we can't even see them?" Fatty Wang said with a headache.
If they were tangible monsters inside the rice dumplings, he would dare to fight them, but with this kind of invisible ghost, he couldn't even see them, so how could anyone resist.
Song Xing seemed very calm: "Since it was attracted by the light, just remove the light."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to put the golden corpse into the bronze box again, and at the same time extinguished the light in the copper beast's eyes, making the stone dark again.
The light disappeared, and in the sight of the five ghosts, the invisible monsters surrounding Shizai seemed to have really lost interest, and began to gradually disappear into the darkness as the fog disappeared.
The stone load under the feet did not stop sliding because of the disappearance of the 'female fairies'. Instead, it fell downwards at a faster rate.
The dizzy feeling of falling gradually intensified, and the passage of time seemed to become extremely long. Falling rapidly, and being in a closed space, Fatty Wang even felt that his five senses had lost their proper function, and he only felt that the sinking force was endless. It's like falling into a bottomless valley.
Only Song Xing stood in the darkness, controlling the five ghosts to sense the movement below.
Just when Hu Bayi and others felt that their blood vessels were about to burst, they suddenly felt that the speed of falling slowed down, and Shi Zai began to slow down. After a while, Hu Bayi slowly regained consciousness and found that Shi Zai had really stopped. .
Seeing the bronze vines wrapped around it, I realized that it was Song Xing who had the Nine Death Jingling Armor holding the huge stone load.
"Master Song, have you reached the underground?" Fatty Wang woke up from his dizziness and asked.
The light reappeared, and the artificial sun created by the illusion of travel appeared in front of Song Xing's body again, illuminating the dark underground.
"Master Song, be careful of those monsters!" Fatty Wang was startled and warned in a low voice, ignoring the buzzing in his ears.
Song Xing smiled: "It's okay, there are no magnetic clouds here, so don't worry about those monsters appearing."
Only then did everyone feel relieved. After a moment of rest, they remembered to look around. They saw rolling waves, darkness as deep as ink, whirlwinds everywhere, and a dense forest, and they didn't know where they were.
Shi Zai fell thousands of meters and landed on an endless body of water. If the Nine Death Jingling Armor hadn't inserted its tentacles into the stone walls on both sides to support Shi Zai, they would have sunk in the water at this moment.
Song Xing turned around and saw that the roots of the huge building tree on the top of the stone wall had spread to this place, so he cut off a dead tree root with a diameter of more than fifty meters with his hand, and let it fall and float on the water.
Directing everyone to move to the roots of the tree, the Nine Death Jingling Armor retracted its tentacles, flexibly rolled up the bronze box in the stone, and then let the stone sink into the water.
"Is this an underground sea?"
Professor Sun was a little surprised when he saw the rolling waves, connected mist, and boundless waters all around.
Shirley Yang said: "Before Shennongjia changed the earth's crust, it was originally a sea. It is not surprising that there was a large amount of water underground. It is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that there is an abyss called weak water underground, as well as volcanoes that burn day and night. It’s called the Abyss of Weak Waters and the Mountain of Fire, and I think we’ve landed in this underground sea now.”
Fatty Wang was more courageous. He reached out and picked up a handful of water and put it into his mouth to taste it: "It's not fresh water, but it's not as salty as sea water. It's barely drinkable."
Being trapped in this endless underground, what they fear most is not the lack of food, but the lack of drinking water. Although they have brought a lot of food themselves, looking at the endless water waves around them, no one knows what they will face in the future.
"There are fish in the water, which should solve the food problem." Hu Bayi glanced sharply and saw many fish swimming before the water waves.
The problem of food and water was solved, and at least there was no need to worry about survival crisis. This made Professor Sun and others relieved.
Shirley Yang also tasted the water, and then said: "This body of water may be a primitive water body, the predecessor of the surface water system, between seawater and fresh water. It seems to still maintain the state before the evolution of prehistoric times."
The ocean of the newborn Earth is called the primitive ocean. Due to various reasons such as the primitive atmosphere, volcanic eruptions, sky discharges, and cosmic rays, the primitive ocean had low salt content but was extremely rich in organic matter. It is also called the original cradle of life.
The boat made of dead trees drifted endlessly along with the waves in the waters.
At first, Hu Bayi and the others were very optimistic, thinking that although the underground water area was very large, it would eventually come to an end due to the limitations of the earth's veins.
But after three consecutive days of drifting, they were still surrounded by endless water waves. Even the grotto where they landed could no longer find their direction, and their faces no longer had the relaxation they had at the beginning.
Only Song Xing had been sitting on the bow of the boat practicing quietly for three days, and the Nine-Death Jingling Grass lay beside him like a real pet, without moving at all.
"Master Song, are we going to keep drifting like this?" For Fatty Wang, who likes excitement, these three days of aimless drifting are really boring.
He would rather fight with Zongzi than continue to float like this.
Who knows where the end of this water is?
Professor Sun's face was a little gloomy, he breathed out, looked at the water surface and comforted Fatty Wang and said: "We have been floating in the same direction for the past three days, which shows that the water flow has the same direction. As long as we are not trapped in an infinite loop, there is always something we can do." The day I find my way out.”
"This is 30 degrees north latitude. It's not surprising that anything strange happens here."
At this time, Song Xing spoke: "Don't worry, since the Shennong clan can find golden skeletons under the ground and bring them out of the surface, it means that this place is not completely sealed, and there must be a passage to the surface."
He looked at the waters with no visible boundary around him, wondering if this could be the legendary Yu Ruins where the Monument of King Yu sank?
Thinking of this, he asked Professor Sun: "You said that the snake worshipers and their descendants, the Tocharians, built cities in this underground world. How did they identify their position in this body of water?"
Professor Sun took out a set of instruments from his backpack, and after some testing, he said: "This area of water is covered with a very strong magnetic field. I guess they should use the magnetic field to identify their orientation. In modern technology, there are also many methods that use magnetic fields to determine the direction." It’s difficult to tell which technology they used to identify the orientation using magnetic fields.”
He also speculated that "the compass made by the emperor may also be the technology brought out from the underground by Shennong."
At this moment, Fatty Wang, who was originally drowsy, accidentally raised his eyes and suddenly discovered that there was a lot of fog in the water ahead, and the air pressure seemed to have dropped a bit.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw a dark thing appearing in the mist, floating on the water.
When he picked up his telescope and looked around, he was surprised to find that it seemed to be a submarine!
