Now, when they turn around, they can't see the ships on the sea or anything on the seabed. It's as if they're trapped in endless darkness. Most people here would feel a vague unease, afraid that something might be hidden in the surrounding darkness.

Are you alright?

Leng Zhenmo's voice reached Leng Yihan's ears, whose face had turned pale.

Leng Yihan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Leng Zhenmo's seat next to her. She looked at Leng Yihan with a slightly concerned expression.

【……It's fine.】

Do you think I'm blind? My face is so pale.

Ah...did you see it...?

[Thalassophobia?]

Hmm, I think so.

Leng Yihan replied helplessly via telepathy.

Mingming thought she shouldn't be so afraid, that there was nothing to be afraid of, that she was very lucky, and that there would be absolutely no danger.

Even so, Leng Yihan could feel her body trembling slightly...

Why is that...?

Hey, you can go through this bubble, right?

【……Um.】

Leng Yihan nodded.

The moment after she nodded, a hand grabbed Leng Yihan's arm.

Then her entire arm was wrapped around someone's arm. Leng Yihan paused, then stiffly turned her head away.

Leng Zhenmo actually burrowed into her bubble and grabbed her arm.

With her arrival, the space in the bubble actually expanded considerably, and the two of them didn't feel cramped together.

"Little...demon?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Leng Zhenmo said softly.

“…Thank you.” Leng Yihan looked away shyly, gazing ahead, and continued descending.

I'm so embarrassed... I actually have to be comforted by a girl... What am I supposed to do...?

As for Leng Zhenmo...

What am I doing? My body is behaving involuntarily!

The two continued their descent, each lost in their own thoughts. The advantage of this was that they were both quite relaxed in some ways, but also quite tense in others.

The green grass on Lin Yin's head was so green it looked oily.

-

"We've reached the bottom!" Leng Zhenmo said hurriedly after seeing the bottom, releasing her grip on Leng Yihan's arm and trying to leave, but Leng Yihan grabbed her.

"Your bubble has merged into mine. If you go out, be prepared to face terrifying pressure," Leng Yihan said softly, her gaze fixed on Leng Zhenmo.

Her complexion was still a little pale, but it had clearly improved a lot.

Damn thalassophobia... I definitely wouldn't stand a chance if we got into a fight!

Upon hearing this, Leng Zhenmo stopped walking away and put her arms back around him.

Unfortunately, when the two of them are hugging, the space isn't too cramped, but once they stand apart, not only is it difficult to move around, but the space also becomes much cramped.

Visibility was significantly limited in the sea, and neither of them could see very far.

Even so, Leng Yihan still sensed that something was wrong.

After Leng Yihan landed on the seabed, she cautiously probed outwards with her mental energy. After several dozen seconds, she withdrew her mental energy and confirmed one thing.

"Little Demon, something's not right. The area around us..."

"What's wrong?" Leng Zhenmo immediately became alert upon hearing this.

“The surrounding area is flat ground, flat ground at the same level.” Leng Yihan said, then she squatted down, poked the floor, and then casually conjured a sword and slashed it hard at the floor beneath her feet.

Without making a sound, the ice sword that Leng Yihan had conjured was instantly split in two, and her hand was numb from the shock.

"So hard!" Leng Zhenmo was a little surprised. He took out his own sword and tried it, but couldn't cut it at all.

"Well, and then, not far away, I found an entrance. Perhaps... we can go somewhere from that doorway."

"You mean to say..."

“I suspect that the ground beneath our feet might be the ceiling of some ruin.”

Thank God... Please, there must be something inside that can help Lu Youmei...

Going back to a while ago, a week after Liu Yi visited the Zhao family.

As the Zhao family's number one genius, Zhao Yan will definitely enter the Cave of Gods, but not immediately.

Now it's about time; two months is more than enough for him to reach the Cave of the Gods.

However, he needs to deal with the missing Cold Blue item first...

"Time's up."

Liu Yi appeared in the courtyard where Zhao Yan was right on time.

By dragging his master inside his ring, he had finally found a useful clue.

“Senior, based on one of my clues, your beloved disciple most likely entered the Cave of the Gods with a group of people. It was all voluntary, and it seems that the people she followed were all acquaintances of hers. They didn’t set off on the first day, but rather entered the Cave of the Gods several days later,” Zhao Yan said respectfully.

"Oh? You entered the Cave of the Gods with others?" Liu Yi frowned. "Do you know the strength of the other side?"

"Senior, they seem to be from the Leng family... the Yumen Leng family."

"The Leng family?" Liu Yi's furrowed brows relaxed as a name came to mind.

"Hehe... In that case, I won't pursue Zhao Jiu's matter any further, but I also hope you can completely forget about it, understand?" Liu Yi said expressionlessly.

"Understood! Thank you, senior!" Zhao Yan nodded quickly.

Leng Yihan... well, never mind. I was originally planning to deal with the Demon King myself, but since that's the case, I'll leave it to you...

371 The Cave of the Gods (39)

"It really is a ruin... Leng Yihan, what wish did you make before you came down here?"

"Um...it's nothing," Leng Yihan replied perfunctorily.

"...Should we go up and bring them down?"

"No need, the two of us can explore on our own," Leng Yihan said.

"You don't seem like that kind of person..."

"Oh? So what kind of person do you think I am?" Leng Yihan turned her head and looked at Leng Zhenmo with a smile.

Leng Zhenmo fell silent immediately, perhaps realizing that she didn't really understand Leng Yihan as well as she thought.

"Alright, stop overthinking. Let's figure out how to get into the ruins, find what we need, and get out alive."

"You're actually worried to death..."

"How could I not be worried to death? I'm human too, I'm terrified." Leng Yihan said, pulling Leng Zhenmo towards the entrance of the ruins.

We can't waste too much time; every little bit faster counts.

The two walked side by side into the door. Inside, the room was still completely filled with water. Apart from the exterior decorations that resembled a door, the interior was crudely decorated and completely undecorated.

It was a passage leading downwards, but Leng Yihan's perception didn't reveal anything.

It seems quite safe.

“I can’t see anything…” Leng Zhenmo muttered.

“Yes, aside from the fact that the light was already dim, there’s also the fact that someone has set up an array around here.” Leng Yihan’s senses swept across the limit of what she could currently perceive, but she still couldn’t ‘see’ anything.

However, she could still see traces of energy activity within the formation nearby.

"Formation? What kind of formation? A protective formation?"

"I don't know, I can only see that it exists. How far can your mental power detect?" Leng Yihan asked casually.

"The limit is five meters in front of me. My mental power is restricted here."

Leng Yihan:? ? ?

"So weak?" Leng Yihan was dumbfounded. Her mental strength was indeed stronger than Leng Zhenmo's, but it shouldn't be this much stronger. Although the passage was very deep and her mental strength was indeed restricted by something, Leng Yihan's perception could still extend more than a thousand meters forward.

"Are you mocking me...? How far can you even see?" Leng Zhenmo said defiantly. In her mind, although Leng Yihan's mental strength was stronger than hers, it wasn't that ridiculously strong. At most, it was only a dozen meters!

"More than a thousand meters."

Leng Zhenmo: ? ? ?

"You're just trying to show off!" Leng Zhenmo decisively concluded that Leng Yihan was bragging.

"Hehe...that's just how it is, Leng Zhenmo, just accept it."

Sigh, these days nobody believes the truth anymore, it's really...

“Here’s what we’re doing. There’s a strange place about a kilometer ahead of us. It looks like there’s some kind of button there. Do you believe me?” Leng Yihan said.

"..." Leng Zhenmo did not reply easily. Although she was very unwilling to admit it, looking at Leng Yihan's confident appearance... was her mental strength really that strong?

"Let's go take a look." Leng Yihan didn't continue on this topic and pulled Leng Zhenmo forward through the narrow passage.

The journey was uneventful, and they easily arrived at the place Leng Yihan had mentioned earlier, the place with the button one kilometer away.

Leng Yihan crouched down and easily found the button under the guidance of her mental power.

This button is way too obvious, and I have no idea what it's for...

"Should I press it?" Leng Zhenmo also saw the button. After all, at such a close distance, her mental energy could still operate within that range.

"It feels dangerous..." Leng Yihan fell into deep thought. She had a feeling that this button was not a good thing, but driven by curiosity, she was still somewhat willing to press it and try it out...
