Seeing that he couldn't escape the task of going to the sea to catch Lance, Xiao Zhi first glanced at the big map, trying to figure out where he was.

His previous speculation was not wrong. This is indeed the sea area on the side of the Dolly Alliance, but it has far exceeded the area actually controlled by the Dolly Alliance, and came to the deep sea.

Yuanhai is a sea area that has no ownership. In fact, it is the general term for all the remaining marine areas after the sea area is divided by various countries. There is no jurisdiction here, and there are no rules. Basically anything can happen, and it is the crime of various criminals. Heaven.

However, because Yuanhai also has a lot of rich output, and the Yuanhai mine, which is particularly famous in casting, is produced here, so there are still an endless stream of people who choose to come here to take risks.

Xiao Zhi looked at the surrounding environment: "Yuan Hai..."

Although people from the mainland often come to the deep sea, they generally only operate on the periphery of the deep sea, and are relatively close to the sea areas of various countries.

Xiao Zhi had seen on the forum before that there are all kinds of strange-shaped monsters in the depths of the deep sea, many of which have not been named by scholars on the mainland, and their appearance is just as long as they want, but the danger is definitely not low, even large enough The existence of an entire fleet can be swallowed in one bite.

In the unknown area of ​​Yuanhai, there is also a sea clan called Yuan clan. The upper body is human-like, but the lower body is full of fish tails, which sounds like a mermaid in a fairy tale.

Different from the beautiful and kind mermaids in the legend, they are hideous in appearance, not like the Xiyue clan, who are also from the sea clan, who are so endearing that they can cheat and deceive their beautiful appearance. Moreover, the Yuan people are fierce and aggressive, and they are also very poor. Most of the profits from fighting with them are not worth the money for repairing equipment.

The Yuan clan has a strong sense of territory. Once they step into their activity area, they will be attacked wildly by the Yuan clan, and sometimes they will be attacked even if they just meet a passing Yuan clan.

After the players' discussions, they all agreed that the Yuan clan is the kind of rude that they will hit you if they want to, and they will hit you if they want to.

In short, it's better to stay away from this group of lunatics, the farther the better.

Xiao Zhi is now at the edge of the unknown area. Not only are the Yuan clan and sea monsters infested, but because they have been explored less, it is not unusual for anything to appear.

Xiao Zhi asked Alifa, "Can you feel where Lance is?"

Alifa nodded at his bald brain and pointed in one direction with his front paws: "Goo~"

Very good, it refers to the unknown area.

Exciting.

At this time, Xiao Zhi suddenly thought of something, and he asked Alifa, "Can you swim?"

According to Alifa's combat power, there are not many places on the mainland that can stop it. It shouldn't be difficult for it to salvage Lance by itself. Why did it go to Hesse to find Xiao Zhi?

Alifa lowered his head shyly and shook his head embarrassedly: "Gu Gu."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Also, this kind of bare bones can't float in the water. Xiao Zhi felt a bit of a headache. He felt that with his own strength alone, he would not be able to drag this heavy burden into the water.

He's a mage, not a jet tractor.

Xiao Zhi and Alifa discussed, "Otherwise, I'll leave you on the shore."

"Gu..." Alifa took a few steps back in disbelief, his huge body was shaky, his big empty eyes stared at Xiao Zhi with a look of "you are ruthless" and "how can you be like this".

In order not to be left behind by the secretary he liked, Alifa suddenly straightened up, and then began to twist in front of Xiao Zhi's eyes, like a black bear rubbing against a tree, and the movement looked a bit funny.

With Alifa's movements, a burst of brilliance flowed on its bones, and its huge body actually shrank little by little, from the height of a building, it gradually became the height of a tree, and then it became One person is tall, and it continues to shrink, and finally stops at the size of a slap.

"Gu" Alifa flew to Xiao Zhi, and smugly flicked her small and cute tail at Xiao Zhi.

Now, it's really cute from the outside to the inside, and Alifa is very proud.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but reached out and touched Alifa's little head, the feeling under his hand was cold and stiff, still the same as before. Alifa arched his head and rubbed against Xiao Zhi's palm several times. This time, he finally didn't feel like he was being run over by a chariot. It was just itchy, like he had touched an ornament.

Xiao Zhi let Alifa lie on his shoulders and took him into the deep sea.

The water in Yuanhai is very deep, and there is no colorful and delicate like the shallow water area. Only a large area of ​​blue surrounds him. The underwater is silent, no creatures can be seen, and only the dull sound of the water can be heard in his ears, as if it was a An isolated space.

Xiao Zhi went downstream under the guidance of Alifa.

With the speed of the undead, he moved very fast underwater. don't know how deep it is, but fortunately, he is now in a state of undead. He doesn't need to breathe and is not afraid of water pressure. He can speak, and directly save the part of the potion that survives underwater.

The further down he went, the harder it was for the sunlight to penetrate, and the surroundings became darker and darker. Xiao Zhi had to take out a soul lamp to illuminate it.

This is also a Hessian specialty. When lighting, it can disperse the fog by the way, so that the vision is not obstructed by the fog. Xiao Zhi plans to take this out when the trade area opens. For explorers who often face various environments, this should be a very good commodity.

The only downside is that the color of the soul lamp is a dark green. When it is illuminated by this kind of light, everything looks a little ghostly, and the terror index rises instantly, allowing people to go anywhere, anytime, anywhere. Feel the warmth of Hessian.

Combined with the current deep sea scene, this green light looks even more infiltrating.

Xiao Zhi was already used to it, and he swam very fast all the way by the light of the soul lamp.

After going downstream for a while, Xiao Zhi saw the bottom of the sea. There were many scattered rocks on the bottom of the sea, as well as some casual creatures such as crabs, shrimps, and fish, which could be rubbed out with their feet. Need to go out and meet people, so everyone looks casual.

A large black area suddenly appeared in front, like a tall building with a flat bottom.

Xiao Zhi looked over vigilantly and saw that the thing did not move, and walked in a little further, only to find that it was actually a sunken ship.

The sunken ship lay on the bottom of the sea for a long time, and it was covered with sea creatures and algae. From the perspective of marine life, this place is probably a paradise, but from the perspective of human beings, it feels a bit infiltrating.

Xiao Zhi walked in a little bit, and found a statue of a beautiful woman with a treasure chest on the bow.

The woman has beautiful curly hair, holds a treasure chest in one hand, and has a smile on the corner of her mouth that seems to see through everything in the world. This is Ephtimis, the god of wealth and wisdom often believed by the Xiyue people. They hope that they can also be like this. As witty and rich as a goddess.

Taking a closer look, Xiao Zhi found a lot of Xiyue-style decorations on the boat. It seems that this is an adventure ship of the Xiyue Clan. They came to Yuanhai to explore, but they did not know what happened and sank.

There are also some damaged utensils and daily necessities scattered on the ground below, which has now completely turned into a safe haven for marine life.

However, since it is the boat of the Xiyue Clan, the people on the boat should be fine.

According to their water quality, if they encounter a sea monster, even if they can't fight it, in terms of escape, there is no race that can compare to them in the water. Without the Chuanxiyue Clan, they can swim back by themselves, but they are just a little tired. .

If it is wind and waves, it will not threaten the Xiyue clan who are good at diving.

Xiao Zhi didn't stay too long, he continued to move forward and came to the stern of the boat.

At this moment, he could not help but stop.

Because the second half of the ship looked miserable. The original sturdy hull seemed to be twisted by someone vigorously, and the prototype could hardly be seen. Only the twisted and deformed metal was still telling the tragic situation at that time.

On the continent of Dazemenia, ships capable of long-distance voyages are not small. Because of the relationship between the wind and waves of the deep sea and the attacks of sea beasts, some ships will be reinforced with magic alloys. This is what this ship is like, Xiao Zhi has just seen it, the thickness of the magic alloy added to the bow is not small, and ordinary guns will not leave traces on it.

So...what could have wrecked this ship like this?

How big will that thing be?

At this time, Xiao Zhi felt that Alifa on his shoulder had been poking at him with his small paw, and the hurried "gugugu" continued to come out of his throat, as if he was very anxious.

Xiao Zhi looked at Alifa, and saw that Alifa's head turned to the back, and he kept extending his claws to point at one location.

Xiao Zhi followed Alifa's paw, and saw that a distance from him suddenly lit up, like a huge pale yellow full moon hanging in front of his eyes, the "moonlight" was very faint, but in the dark The seabed is still very conspicuous.

But here is the deep sea, and there's a fart moon.

Xiao Zhi's heart sank. He could see what it was. He saw the texture of the iris in the huge light yellow circle, and the pupils that were staring at him.

This is an eye.

And just this one eye is already as tall as four or five Xiao Zhi, one can imagine how huge the body of that unknown thing is.

A guess floated in Xiao Zhi's mind, maybe this sinking ship was his handwriting.

In the face of such a huge thing, Xiao Zhi felt that the fireball technique would definitely not work, and it would be difficult to use any number of bursts. The natural disaster might still leave some marks on it, but it was absolutely impossible to kill it alone. of.

This is really a mouthful of a child, without chewing.

Xiao Zhi didn't dare to act rashly, he patted Alifa, who had been "gugu" non-stop, motioning it to be quiet, and at the same time he didn't say a word, and turned off the soul lamp in his hand.

All actions are only to minimize their presence, try not to arouse the interest of this huge thing.

Xiao Zhi suddenly fell into darkness, and the translucent body of the undead almost merged with the environment.

Both sides waited in silence.

Suddenly, there was another bright eye in the darkness, just like the one before, just a pair.

With two eyes, it was easier for Xiao Zhi to estimate the size of this thing. It was much larger than he originally expected, similar to a mountain. It is estimated that something of the size of a sunken ship is like a mini toy to it, and it will be broken if you are not careful.

If this thing can go ashore, it must be easy to destroy several cities.

These big eyes looked at the area where Xiao Zhi was standing, and swayed left and right, as if searching for something.

Alifa's claws clenched Xiao Zhi's shoulders, this thing is too big, Alifa can't beat it, Alifa has no meat, it's not delicious at all, hope it doesn't like chewing on bones...

Xiao Zhi was also very nervous. This was the first time he faced such a powerless opponent.

The unknown area is really exciting.

He admonished himself to be calm, the human size was too small to be in its recipe.

If they didn't interest it, it would be fine, but if it ran around and slapped it down on a whim, he and Alifa would definitely be cool. Xiao Zhi can still resurrect himself, but what about Alifa? If it is shot into pieces in the deep sea, even the bone dragon does not know how many years it will take to recover.

Even if he was lucky enough to recover, Alifa would not be able to float.

The huge eyes glanced around, Xiao Zhi and Alifa who had lost their light and voice were really inconspicuous, in their eyes they were as hard to find as little bugs hiding in the cracks.

After a while, the eyes closed, and the deep sea fell into a deep darkness.

Xiao Zhi stood still for a while, and after confirming that the huge thing really wouldn't open again immediately, he took Alpha and quietly retreated into the distance. This time didn't dare to turn on the lights, and didn't dare to move too fast, for fear of attracting the attention of something again.

After that, Lu Xiaozhi did not dare to turn on the lights rashly, and could only move forward under the guidance of Alifa in the dim water.

A dark seabed makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

On the way they passed several behemoths. The most recent time, Xiao Zhi almost passed by a strangely shaped Roshan, but these few times Xiao Zhi had experience and did not arouse their interest at all, so he passed by without any risk.

In front of it is a seafloor gap. The gap is quite wide for humans, probably enough for two or three people to pass side by side, but below is a deeper black, and it is difficult to see what is in it.

Fortunately, the undead talking underwater is not affected, Xiao Zhi asked Alpha: "Lance is in the direction below or in front?"

Alifa stretched out his head to sense it, and decisively stretched out his paw and pointed to the bottomless gap below.

Xiao Zhi frowned slightly as he looked at the gap, it was really dark inside, and it was estimated that if he went in, he would definitely see nothing for a while. He looked around again, he and Alifa had already swam far away under the sea, and he didn't know how Lance could fall into such a place?

I hope they can see Lance stuck in the crack as soon as they enter.

Xiao Zhi subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath to adjust his emotions, only to realize that he couldn't breathe at all now.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

Forget it, let it go.

Xiao Zhi took Alifa to the gap.

When first entered the gap, everything was calm. It was only a little dark here, and the space was so small that those giant sea monsters couldn't get in. Maybe it was safer than the outside.

But there is no Lance here, and Alpha has been signaling the area below him, so Xiao Zhi can only continue down.

When he reached a certain position, Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a whole powerful suction pulling him. He immediately used Flame Illusion to try to escape, but the water seemed to lock him, even if he dodged upwards several times, he was still caught. figure.

Also, the suction power is gradually increasing.

He reached out and grabbed the raised rock next to him, trying to stabilize his body, but that force had an unstoppable feeling, and dragged him down.

Xiao Zhi found that his hand holding the stone wall was sliding down little by little. In the end, he was still swept deeper into the crevice by the water, and he only had time to grab the little Alpha, lest it get separated from him.

It felt like being flushed down the toilet, everything around him was spinning like crazy, and he couldn't tell where he was, whether his head was up or down.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Zhi felt that the whole world had calmed down.

He barely opened his eyes, praying that he wouldn't see a giant sea monster with its mouth open for a snack.

Unexpectedly, there was a starlight in front of him.

It is still in the deep sea, but there is indeed a spot of light in front of you, just like the bright Milky Way seen on the clearest night. The Milky Way flickers from time to time, more dazzling than any jewelry. It is no wonder that since ancient times, human beings have always pinned their infinite beautiful imaginations on the starry sky.

Because it does afford it.

After groping forward in the dark for a long time, Xiao Zhi suddenly saw such a bright environment, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming, or if his brain had been knocked out of the hallucination.

But Alifa's reaction pulled him back to reality, and Alifa stretched out his paws upwards, like a monkey trying to pick a star. Obviously, it can also see this sea of ​​stars.

Because of the lighting of Xinghai, Xiao Zhi can see the surrounding environment clearly,

There are many unnamed plants growing in this sea area. They are a bit like corals and seaweeds, but they are different from what Xiao Zhi is familiar with. Flocks of small fish shuttle through it, probably because of the light, and they look different. Not as casual as those I've seen before, and even a little cute.

Compared with the deep sea, this place looks more like an offshore sea, and it is hard to imagine that such a scene appears under the deep sea full of giant beasts.

Seeing that the surroundings were relatively safe, Xiao Zhi felt a little relieved. He swam towards the starlight above his head, trying to see what it was.

When got closer, found that the light on the top of the head was a kind of shellfish. They were all snow-white, radiating light all over their bodies, hanging upside down like lightbulbs and sticking to the top, seeing Xiao Zhi approaching, and a few shells spitting bubbles at him.

There are also smaller star spots, which are from some glowing plankton.

This sea of ​​stars is formed by such a group of large and small creatures.

"Gu..." Alifa looks very interested in the glowing shells. Maybe this is the nature of the dragon race? Even in death it is the same.

Xiao Zhi held down Alifa's eager claws: "Don't move, what if something troublesome happens again?"

Alifa obediently retracted his claws, but reluctantly glanced at the bright sparkles above his head.

Xiao Zhi left with Alifa: "Alifa, can you still feel where Lance is now?"

Alifa felt it again, and this time it finally stopped pointing downwards, and its claws pointed in a certain direction ahead.

After Xiao Zhi walked a distance in the direction pointed by Alifa, he suddenly received a system prompt:

"The new map area you are exploring, the current exploration degree is 1%"

New area!

A small flame of excitement rose from Xiao Zhi's heart. Over the past six hundred years, ZERO's map has continued to expand. This depends on the improvement of the entire continent's combat power and technological level, allowing mainland residents to explore a wider world.

A look at the history of Earth's times shows that those who discovered new worlds were rewarded handsomely.

The same is true for those who explore new areas. Not only will there be a lot of experience rewards for exploring the map, but the various outputs of this unknown area will be open to explorers, whether it is materials, props, non-public activities or hidden tasks. A group of people who explore will have advantages that the latecomers cannot match.

When the exploration degree exceeds 30%, this area will be open to the whole continent, and the first person to reach 30% exploration degree can also have the naming rights of this area.

Many attractive rewards have also spawned explorers who specifically aim to discover new maps. This is a career with both risks and benefits, and the mortality rate is very high.

Thanks to the efforts of all generations of explorers, the Dazemenia continent has only what it is today, but there are still many unknown areas in it.

For example, Xiao Zhi is now in this area.

With the stimulation of the exploration reward, Xiao Zhi felt that his trip was not in vain, and the fight between Alifa and Lance was really good.

The pace of his search for Lance was a little brisk.

Following Alifa's guidance, Xiao Zhi moved forward, and the sea of ​​stars above his head had never been broken, making him feel like he was walking under the night sky.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared in front of him.

From a distance, Xiao Zhi could not see the details, but he could see a black fish tail scattered in the water, as well as the humanoid torso and long black hair of the upper body. It looks bloated and belongs to the kind of just right look.

If it weren't for the black fish tail, it would still have the feeling of the legendary mermaid.

But "Mermaid" suddenly turned her head towards Xiao Zhi.

There was a face that seemed to have been burned by a fire, with all the facial features tangled together, and a big mouth full of fangs. arm.

This classic combination of fairy tale creatures and nightmare protagonists is owned by only one race on the mainland - the Yuan clan.

The legendary lunatic who can not be provoked!

Before Xiao Zhi could feel that he was unlucky in his heart, the Yuan clan grew his mouth, and the harsh sound waves spread out from the bottom of the water, and let out a terrifying scream.

Then he clenched the trident in his hand and rushed towards Xiao Zhi.

Sure enough, it means that if hit you, will hit you, and don't choose the time and place at all.

Hesse, Hall of Bones.

Frost sat alone in his empty room.

Every room in the White Bone Hall is similar, and he seems to have no personal hobbies. Compared with his residence, the White Bone Hall is more like a personal space that belongs to him alone, allowing Frost to enjoy the silence and tranquility of a person.

The platinum-gold eyes stared silently at his left hand, where there used to be a ferocious penetrating wound, but now it has healed without leaving a trace.

He originally had a strong self-healing ability, and the scary-looking wound before was just a small opening to him, just like a scratch on an ordinary human body, and he didn't need to pay special attention.

However, he doesn't care, but someone cares.

Frost's eyes moved to the bandage on the table. The bandage had been used and was stained with dark red blood.He couldn't help thinking about the gentle movement of the person who helped him bandage... this feeling... it seemed a little familiar.

It seemed as though some image was about to come to mind, but in the end there was nothing.

Frost's eyes stared at the bandage on the table, but he seemed to see something through it,

More than that...

And more...more details...

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: Will my vest still be there when I come back?

Assen: Guess what?

Xiao Zhi: Boss, I want to apply for a business trip...
