But in the end, after going around in circles, we returned to where we started.
This was the first time Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang had encountered such a situation, and they had no relevant experience, so they were completely baffled.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya looked thoughtful. They uploaded the question to Norma and let AI decipher it, hoping to find the most intuitive and effective way to reach the island.
Zhou Qinghe pinched her chin and turned to Lu Mingfei, saying, "Grab the equipment, let's jump ship."
"Sister Zhou, what do you mean?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.
Zhou Qinghe explained, "The small island floating on the sea in front of us is just an illusion; the real secret is hidden beneath the sea."
This place should be the "Dongtian Biefu" recorded in the orthodox ancient books, or, in Western mixed-race terms, "Nibelungen".
Essentially, it is a small, independently operating mystical world.
Throughout history, very few people have visited the [Dongtian Biefu], but some have.
The Records of the Grand Historian, in its section on the Feng and Shan sacrifices, describes the three mythical mountains of Penglai in the Bohai Sea. These mountains are visible from afar, but ships that approach them are swept away by strong winds and spun around in place. In reality, the mountains themselves are submerged underwater.
The book "Zhen Gao" records that the Linwu Cave Heaven on Baoshan Mountain in Taihu Lake is just an outer shell, with underwater stone chambers forming a secret realm spanning hundreds of miles. In ancient times, the monk Lingwei dived into the cave to glimpse its full beauty.
In these types of underwater paradises, what floats on the surface are all illusions designed to deceive the living. Water is the only medium of travel; to enter the core of the secret realm, one must dive into the sea.
As Lu Mingfei listened to Zhou Qinghe's eloquent speech, he thought to himself that one cannot judge a book by its cover. The seemingly lazy school doctor was actually a top student with a rich knowledge of classical Chinese literature.
"I've learned a lot." Lu Mingfei clasped his hands in a fist salute, always admiring top students.
Zhou Qinghe nodded slightly, accepting the offer calmly.
Ye Sheng, Jiu Deya Ji, and Chu Zihang, who were on the other speedboat, also heard it. After thinking about it, they believed Zhou Qinghe's statement.
Without further ado, you jump, I jump.
However, Lu Mingfei raised his hand: "I have a small question."
Zhou Qinghe asked in surprise, "Oh? Lu Mingfei, please go ahead."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head: "Sister Zhou, what should I do if I can't swim?"
Everyone was stunned, and the ship fell silent.
Lu Mingfei looked ashamed, as he had never had the opportunity to learn to swim.
After this experience, I definitely need to find a teacher to learn swimming seriously!
Zhou Qinghe was both amused and exasperated. Lu Mingfei was so arrogant and domineering on the shore, but it turned out he was just as afraid of water as Sun Wukong.
At this point, Lu Mingfei couldn't be left alone on the speedboat. She had risked landing on the island because she admired Lu Mingfei's soaring spirit of daring to bind a dragon, but she herself wasn't confident in dealing with a pure-blooded dragon.
"There's no other way, I'll take you with me into the water. If I'm not mistaken, we only need to dive a short distance."
As she spoke, Zhou Qinghe casually picked up a pair of well-fitting buoyancy harnesses. "Luckily, we have these on the ship."
A buoyancy harness is a simple flotation device used for nearshore diving. It supports the body with built-in foam to prevent it from sinking and is lightweight and does not hinder movement.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Zhou," Lu Mingfei said somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhou Qinghe smiled, untied the elastic diving harness, first put the simple oxygen mask on Lu Mingfei's face, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her chest tightly against his back.
Lu Mingfei was taken aback, his face turning slightly red.
He stood at attention.
Zhou Qinghe turned her head and leaned close to Lu Mingfei's ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe: "Relax your body, stay close to me the whole time and don't let go. I'll take you down the dive, and I won't let you choke on the water."
“Oh, oh, oh…” Lu Mingfei echoed haphazardly.
The rich aroma and a certain soft, almost frenzied sensation assaulted Lu Mingfei's brain, and a thought flashed through his mind: Big sister was right!
At this moment, Lu Mingfei felt as excited as if he had drunk Teacher Da Ye's secret recipe chicken soup. In order not to embarrass himself in public, he quickly recalled his aunt's beautiful face.
...Phew, I've calmed down.
Zhou Qinghe pouted, thinking that Xiao Chunan's reaction was really interesting.
However, it wasn't exactly a case of one taking advantage of the other. She could clearly feel the distinct lines of the boy's shoulders and back in her arms, his firm and sturdy body, and his youthful yet explosive power.
If she were a few years younger, she would eat it.
Zhou Qinghe couldn't help but feel sad about her lost youth, as she had never even experienced a sweet romance.
Ugh.
The above was just a minor incident. The people on both speedboats were all in superhuman physical condition, and they jumped into the water carrying heavy equipment.
Underwater visibility is extremely poor, and the image is blurry and unclear.
Lu Mingfei followed instructions and grabbed Zhou Qinghe's forearm to prevent the two from separating.
After diving down to a height of about ten meters, Lu Mingfei suddenly had the illusion that space was reversed and their position was moving upwards.
"Pfft..."
Leaping out of the sea, Lu Mingfei opened his eyes wide and saw that the annoying sea fog had disappeared, and in front of him was an island, with the ancient bronze city standing behind the lush and dense outer forest.
They arrived at the true grotto-heaven retreat.
The group quickly swam ashore and landed on the small island.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji were experienced in combat and skilled at checking the moisture content of weapons and equipment.
Chu Zihang was also carrying a Glock 17. He and his stepfather had learned to shoot in Hawaii during the summer vacation, and he was quite accurate.
Zhou Qinghe had already untied her sash, and Lu Mingfei thanked her.
Zhou Qinghe smiled and said, "If you really want to thank me, you'd better do your best later. I disobeyed orders from my superiors for you, so don't let your sister down."
Lu Mingfei nodded, indicating that it was necessary.
He will go all out to force out the pure-blooded dragon's spit.
After a brief reorganization, the group headed towards the center of the Bronze Ancient City to rescue Soldier Liu Miaomiao.
……
Soldier Liu Miaomiao felt like she might have to send a cat.
She closed her eyes, silently counted to three, and when she opened them again, she hoped to see the ceiling of the room, realizing that she had just had a dream.
However, it does not.
What comes into view is a group of "little elves" living in the sea.
They have some fish-like characteristics, just like the little mermaid that Liu Miaomiao longed for.
However, the fish's distinctive feature isn't its beautiful tail, but rather its head that seems to be gazing at the stars.
Rows of creatures with heads resembling various kinds of seafood circled around her, muttering incoherently.
Liu Miaomiao remembered a movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean," the third installment which was released last year, in which Captain Jack Sparrow was rescued.
She seriously felt that the appearance of these seafood creatures was comparable to that of the seafood creatures on the Flying Dutchman.
Why would they kidnap themselves to this weird, godforsaken place?
Does he believe he is the reincarnation of the sea goddess? Is he willing to sacrifice his human body so that the sea goddess's soul can be freed?
Liu Miaomiao remembered that she was happily catching albino crabs on the beach, accidentally entered a natural cave, encountered a monster with an octopus head, and fainted on the spot. When she opened her eyes, she was here.
Its body was tightly bound by seaweed and tied to a bronze pillar.
She looked around and saw nothing but seafood and bronze, its surface gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.
Liu Miaomiao was frightened. Her face turned pale, and her slender white legs trembled slightly. She... was thinking of Niao Niao.
"Someone, please save me..." Liu Miaomiao cried.
Chapter 80 "Did Nuwa allow such an awesome hybrid to exist in the country?"
"Mom, it's my fault for being unfilial and not being able to be with you in your old age. I can't even participate in the competition we agreed on. You and Dad are still young, let's have another child."
However, avoid using the character for water in the name of your younger brother or sister, as children with names containing the character for water are said to have bad luck.
Liu Miaomiao silently recited the suicide note she had prepared, but unfortunately, she had no paper or pen to write it down for her parents.
She knew that she would probably be officially classified as missing, and her body would never be found.
How heartbroken and devastated my parents will be if they can't find my body.
Thinking of this, Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but shed tears. She never imagined that she would die in the summer of her second year of high school, being devoured by a group of seafood creatures.
The seafood creatures chattered amongst themselves as if they had reached a conclusion. They dispersed and began to perform a ritual around the bronze pillar and the equipment bound to it. Liu Miaomiao's sinister golden eyes revealed excitement and piety.
Liu Miaomiao heard that ethereal and enchanting singing voice again, resonating with the thousands of black bells hanging in the ancient bronze city, as if something was about to descend.
The girl's heart was pounding, as if it were about to burst out of her chest. Her blood felt like it was burning, and her skin was burning hot.
Many fragmented images flashed through Liu Miaomiao's mind:
She saw the dragon girl, who was shepherding sheep and weeping, pouring out her heart to a passing scholar;
Upon seeing the chivalrous scholar readily agree, he carried the letter across the water.
She also witnessed the unruly, angry dragon of Qiantang breaking through the wall, churning the river and sea with thunderous roar, seeking justice for the humiliated dragon maiden...
Suddenly, Liu Miaomiao felt a stinging pain in her eyes, as if they were being burned, and she couldn't help but groan.
The seafood creatures became even more excited, for they saw that the girl's eyes were like gold, radiating a clear light.
Su Xiaoqiang, who wanted to become a mixed-race person, did not become one.
Chen Wenwen, who was completely unaware of the situation but liked Lu Mingfei and wanted to get close to him, did not become a mixed-race person.
Liu Miaomiao, who only wanted to slack off and live a normal life, unexpectedly awakened the bloodline hidden within her and became a mixed-race person of a certain level.
Good luck tricks people.
As the burning intensity in her eyes receded like the tide, Liu Miaomiao felt as if the world had undergone a complete transformation.
She used to be slightly nearsighted, but now her vision is clearer than when she wears the right glasses.
Evolved from 408p to 1080p.
At the same time, the seafood creatures, who initially couldn't understand the words, gradually came to comprehend their meaning.
"Offer sacrifices to our king! Guga!" XN
