Water World Beast Taming: My Pets Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 183 Save me, please save me!

After cleaning up the battlefield and distributing the spoils, the group set off again toward the open city gates.

Having learned from past mistakes, everyone was even more cautious this time, and their spiritual energy flowed rapidly through their bodies.

The Ghostfish Squad's fish eyes constantly scanned their surroundings warily, searching for any potential enemies or dangers.

Having received 20 Dark Crystals as a reward, Jiang Chen also tried his best to demonstrate his abilities, continuing to have Xiao Jiu create water clones and run to the front of the group to scout ahead.

There was no way around it; Long Shijie had given them too much!

One dark crystal is worth 10 on the market, so 20 of them would be worth 200 million, instantly doubling his net worth from one million to three million. So why not explore this path?

The rest of the journey was uneventful; it seemed that the skeleton soldiers who had appeared earlier constituted all the guarding force.

They approached the city gate, swam into the magnificent and spacious gate passage, and successfully entered the Qingyu Underwater Ancient City.

Beneath your feet are huge, clean, and neat bluestone slabs that stretch out in all directions.

The crowd swam through the city gate passage like a school of fish, and the first thing that caught their eye was the rows of houses arranged in an orderly fashion.

There were shops, houses, and even two towering arrow towers standing on either side behind the magnificent city gate.

Without a doubt, this was an extremely prosperous ancient city.

When Jiang Chen arrived here, he felt as if he had traveled back to ancient times.

Moreover, both the streets and the surrounding buildings were clean and tidy, without any sense of dilapidation or decay.

The red lanterns hanging in front of the buildings also emitted a scarlet light, illuminating the entire ancient city.

Because it is underwater, all the lighter items in the ancient city, such as banners and curtains, are either upside down or suspended.

However, because there is a golden protective array about tens of meters above the ancient city, those floating objects cannot fly away and are blocked there, forming a magnificent and spectacular garbage belt.

The sound of rushing water kept coming, and the entire underwater ancient city looked both normal and abnormal!

It's normal because the entire ancient city looks like it's functioning normally, with lanterns hanging high and orange candlelight constantly shining from the windows of the surrounding houses, as if someone lives here.

It was as if the entire ancient city was still immersed in the bustling and lively night.

However, what was abnormal was that there wasn't a single person in sight on the streets of the entire ancient city at that moment!

There was no one in sight, no cats, dogs, chickens, or cows; it was as if all life in the city had vanished.

Moreover, it felt as if this ancient underwater city was still functioning normally just a second ago.

But the next second, all the humans and all life forms in the ancient city vanished into thin air!

The entire ancient city was silent, except for the rushing sound of the sea; there was nothing else, only a deathly stillness.

This bizarre scene immediately cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone who had just defeated the enemy.

Long Shijie's tiger-like eyes swept over the quiet yet bustling buildings around him, and he said in a low, deep voice:

"Everyone, take off!"

"Lian Wei, use your Ghost Eyes to survey your surroundings!"

"Wu Yao, use your mental power to explore!"

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Immediately, everyone slowly snorkeled and rose above the entire underwater ancient city.

Lian Wei led the Ghostfish Squad to the front, and then all 11 of them unleashed their spiritual power, causing a wrist-sized, crimson eyeball to appear above their heads.

Jiang Chen looked at these crimson eyes and felt that their gaze was sharp, like that of an eagle, as if they carried some kind of powerful force.

Just a light glance from it makes you feel as if you are completely naked and about to be seen through.

Jiang Chen quickly dodged. Most of the members of the Ghost Eye Fish Squad were female beast tamers, and he couldn't let these women take advantage of him.

As the Ghostfish Squad cast their spell, the 11 crimson eyeballs slowly gathered and merged together, forming an even larger crimson eyeball, as big as a washbasin!

Its gaze immediately sharpened, seemingly able to see through the void, constantly turning and scanning the ancient city below!

On the other side, the Haipuying team was a little quieter.

The six Sea Pu Ying Beast Tamers joined hands, and then a powerful spiritual force was released, immediately creating ripples in the seawater that swept towards the ancient underwater city below.

A moment later, the crimson eyeballs that had been hovering in front of everyone slowly dissipated, and the Hai Pu Ying team, who had been holding hands, slowly released their grip.

The entire Qingyu Underwater Ancient City is protected by a defensive array, so it cannot be detected from outside the city; it can only be detected once inside.

The exploration was now complete. Captain Lian Wei of Ghostfish and Captain Wu Yao of Seapuying exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed, a sense of tension rising within them as they looked at the others.

"How is it?" the humanoid bear Lei San stepped forward and asked.

The two women shook their heads, and then Lian Wei spoke up: "Our investigation revealed that the entire ancient city is completely empty; there's nothing there. Neither clairvoyance nor X-ray vision could detect anything!"

"We're the same here. The entire ancient city seems like a ghost town. We couldn't find anything with our spiritual power!" Wu Yao said.

"And the whole city is so clean and tidy!"

"Even though there was no one in the room, all the furniture and decorations were arranged neatly and completely, as if it had been deliberately cleaned!"

"My detection results are the same!" Captain Lian Wei of the Ghost Eye Fish said with a similarly solemn expression.

"this……"

The results of their tests immediately filled everyone with even more doubts, and their faces were filled with suspicion!

What exactly happened in this mysterious ancient city?

Why is there not a single person in the entire ancient city?

If there were no people, why is the entire ancient city filled with the atmosphere of human life?

Why didn't the items in the Ancient City Secret Realm rot?

Has this ancient city in the secret realm really existed for over a thousand years?

Or was it just recently submerged?

This ancient city of Qingyu is getting more and more eerie!

"What about necromancy?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Necromantic life forms are quite special. For example, the skeleton army just now, when they are integrated into the wall and the necromantic fire is not activated, they are no different from dead objects and cannot be detected."

Lian Wei glanced at Jiang Chen and explained.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized why Ghost Eye Fish and Hai Pu Ying's team hadn't noticed the skeleton soldiers hiding in the walls when they were outside the city. So that's why.

Jiang Chen recalled once again the introduction to necromancy in the textbook. Necromancer life forms are very special. They have actually transcended the category of material life and are somewhat similar to the category of spiritual life.

The more advanced the necromancy-type life form, the more "ethereal" its body becomes, like a phantom!

Therefore, advanced necromancy can only be hit by mental attacks.

"What do we do now?" Lian Wei asked, looking down at the eerie ancient city below.

"Let's explore and move forward!" Long Shijie declared.

"I agree," Lei San said.

"I agree. Let's explore the ancient city quickly so we can get out of here," said Yu Ning, a petite student from Yingtian Academy. "This place is so gloomy; it makes me feel uncomfortable!"

"Don't be afraid, baby. No matter what it is, I will stand in front of you!" Yu Sheng stepped forward and said loudly.

"Thank you, Sheng Sheng! You're the best!" Yu Ning happily stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Yu Sheng's neck.

Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows smugly and returned the gesture, and the two of them immediately became inseparable, oblivious to everyone else.

Everyone: (￣▽￣)

Jiang Chen was speechless. You two have had enough!

We're exploring a mysterious and eerie secret realm right now, can you two please stop showing off your love?

……

The group resurfaced into the ancient underwater city below. Using their spiritual energy to detect the presence of more spiritual and necromantic energy ahead, they began to explore the surrounding buildings as they moved forward.

Jiang Chen opened the window of a shop that was still lit. This ancient shop seemed to be selling fabrics, with various fabrics and veils displayed on the shelves on the wall.

However, due to the water entering the room, these fabrics and veils were now slowly floating with the seawater.

As Jiang Chen opened the shop door, some fabrics immediately floated up and then rose to the protective array above his head.

Jiang Chen looked at the fabric in front of him, his expression turning serious!

Because he discovered that these fabric veils also showed no signs of decay whatsoever!

It seems that as long as you put it in the storage shell and put it in the sun to dry, you can continue to use it.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also understood why these shops were emitting light.

In the center of the shop's ceiling, there was an orange bead embedded in the ceiling. It was this bead that illuminated the entire shop, and the orange light was like candlelight, making it look very warm.

At this time, others also opened some buildings, and the situation inside was the same as Jiang Chen's; they discovered the secret of these buildings' glowing.

The ever-burning red lanterns are similar; they also contain glowing beads inside, and when the light shines through the red paper on the lantern wall, it immediately turns red.

Jiang Chen dug down a bead to examine it. He saw that the bead was similar to a luminous pearl, which was why it could glow for a long time.

With two mysteries solved at once, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The reason why the shops, houses, and red lanterns glowed was because of these beads, not because they were haunted.

"Help me..."

"Please help me..."

kindness?

Just as Jiang Chen was carefully examining the yellow luminous pearl in front of him, a hoarse and weak female voice suddenly rang in his ears!

The sudden sound startled Jiang Chen, giving him a huge fright!

He quickly looked around, but it was quiet and there was nothing there!

Just when Jiang Chen thought it was a hallucination, the faint, hoarse female cry for help rang out again:

"Help me..."

"Please help me!"
