In front of him, the sinister-looking Yuan clan stabbed Xiao Zhi with a trident.

The speed of the sea clan in the water is much faster than that of the human beings. The Yuan clan may not have the superior speed of the Xiyue clan, but their strength is stronger. It is definitely not comparable to the fragile and small body of the Xiyue clan.

Xiao Zhi felt that the Yuan clan in front of him was like a black wind, and it was in front of him in an instant. The distance was close. The twisted and terrifying face looked even more frightening. In minutes, the children could scare the children crying and calling for their mother. .

The sharp trident stabbed straight at Xiao Zhi's chest.

Xiao Zhi lightly jumped back, and with the help of the undead's light body, he suddenly moved far away, opening the distance between the two.

At the same time as the distance was opened, Xiao Zhi kept moving, and three fireballs connected end to end rushed towards the menacing Yuan clan.

The Yuan clan is indeed a fierce and belligerent race, and they respond extremely quickly to attacks during battles. With a sweep of his fish tail, his entire body suddenly rushed to the side, nimbly avoiding Xiao Zhi's attack.

It seems that Xiao Zhi's counterattack angered him, the Yuan clan opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and let out another scream at him, piercing the eardrums for a while.

Xiao Zhi rubbed his ears, and if he fights, he fights.

The two fought again, and the water arrows and fireballs flew together for a while, and the two continued to dodge and move, stirring the surrounding water more and more turbid.

Xiao Zhi flashed another attacking water arrow sideways. When he was about to counterattack, he saw three figures in the distance coming towards him from the corner of his eye. It seemed that he was attracted by the movement here.

Xiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the beautiful tail fin floating in the water like a fighting fish.

As we all know, the Yuan clan is a violent clan that beats you and never picks your day. Then, when a lonely Xiao Zhi was fighting with a Yuan clan, what would happen if he met three Yuan clan?

A. The three Yuan clan rushed up and shouted, "Don't fight!", the battle was over.

B. The three Yuan clan played mahjong, and they left happily together with the Yuan clan who were fighting.

C. Someone is fighting here! Come on, let's have a hi together! ! ! ! !

Xiao Zhi: "..."

He can already expect a four-on-one situation.

I feel that the situation is not good. If this fight continues, the nearby Yuan clan may be attracted and form a siege posture against him. Who can resist this? !

Xiao Zhi immediately changed his tactics, a stunned fireball hit the Yuan clan who was fighting with him, and before the three Yuan clan arrived, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Tactical retreat is also part of the self-cultivation of the cubs.

Xiao Zhi floated forward with Alpha quickly.

In the back, several Yuan clan did not give up because of his escape. After a short period of dizziness, Yuan clan who had fought with Xiao Zhi before shook his head, then flicked his fish tail and quickly chased after him.

Seeing the excitement here, the three passing Yuan clan also raised their weapons and joined the chasing team.

Seeing that the chasing soldiers behind him were getting closer and closer, Xiao Zhi quickened his movements again. Fortunately, he was an undead now. If the human body really couldn't run so fast.

"Bam—"

"Boom-"

There was a crashing sound behind him, and Xiao Zhi took time to look back.

Seeing the four Yuan clan stubbornly stalked not far behind him, they chased the ground very tightly, even if they hit a stone, it didn't matter. Just as he turned around, a Yuan clan smashed the big stone in front of him with his head, and the gravel slashed his forehead, but he continued to face Xiao with his head full of blood, just like no one else. Stop rushing over.

If people who don't know the truth see it, they may think that Xiao Zhi has some deep hatred with them.

But in fact, Xiao Zhi just met them when he was passing by! ! !

He finally experienced the madness of the Yuan clan, and the name of the lunatic was indeed well-deserved.

Even if the speed of the undead is very fast, in the water, it is still no match for the Yuan people who are the sea clan. Seeing that the four hideous faces are getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Zhi feels that this is not the way to go.

As he moved forward quickly, he looked around and began to survey his surroundings, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

In front of him, a group of rocks full of forks appeared in his sight. These rocks were crowded together, like a labyrinth, high in height, and they covered each other. It was difficult to overlook the whole picture from above.

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed. This kind of place with all the forks was just right for him to hide. Even if the Yuan clan liked to rush, but so many stones would take a long time to collide even if he practiced the Iron Head Technique, and this time was enough for him to escape.

Looking back at the four Yuan clan who were getting closer, Xiao Zhi raised his hand and released a fire tornado.

With the strong wind, the green ghost fire stirred a huge vortex on the bottom of the sea, and all the sand and soil on the ground were involved in it, turning the surrounding area into turbidity.

At the same time, the vision of the Yuan clan was also blocked, and they couldn't see Xiao Zhi's position at all.

When the sediment in the sea water settles down again and the sight in front of you recovers, where is the figure of the undead still in front of you? Just a bunch of forks.

The four angry Yuan people screamed, and stabbed the rocks with their weapons wildly, causing the rock fragments to fall continuously, and the sea water became turbid again.

Still feeling puzzled, they looked at each other.

At this moment, they felt that the guys around them looked equally unpleasant.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

In the next instant, the four Yuan clan who were originally chasing Xiao Zhi together scuffled together, as if there was a life-and-death feud between them.

The Yuan clan, when they became crazy, they even beat their own people.

At this time, Xiao Zhi had already penetrated deep into the rock group.

The light here is a little dim, but it is not enough to see anything. There are still many luminous animals and plants growing between the stone cracks, which does not seem to have a secret feeling.

After swimming for a long time without seeing the Yuan clan chasing after him, Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he really got rid of them.

The Yuan clan is really crazy, let's see how far these guys go in the future.

Although they escaped smoothly, Xiao Zhi's current position is a little far from their original direction. If they want to continue to find Lance, they can't go back the same way. If they encounter the Yuan clan again, it will be a lot of trouble. .

"You have to find a way to detour." Xiao Zhi said.

Fortunately, he has the dragon-shaped locator Alifa, which can accurately locate Lance no matter where he runs.

"Goo~" Alifa rubbed Xiao Zhi's cheek, indicating that with it there, everything would be fine.

Xiao Zhi reached out and touched its head, making Alifa even cuter.

The two moved on.

They searched for a way out in the rock group, and finally, after an unknown number of turns, the space in front of Xiao Zhi was no longer a narrow rock wall, but an open area.

Different from the time when we just passed through the seafloor gap before, this area looks a bit desolate. There are very few seafloor plants around, not even the number of fish and shrimp. Only the sea of ​​stars formed by the shells and luminous plankton on the top of the head is still brilliant.

Xiao Zhi continued to move forward while looking around. According to Alifa's instructions, they needed to go around this area to find Lance's location.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhi's eyes fell on a place in front of him that was half buried by sand.

There was a strip-shaped thing buried there. It looked thick and long, and there seemed to be patterns on it. It looked like a pillar. But it is strange to see a pillar appearing under such a deep seabed.

Xiao Zhi came to the thing suspected of being a pillar, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, he reached out and gently brushed the sand on the surface of the thing.

I didn't expect it to be a pillar.

The whole column is made of a kind of white stone. The texture of the stone is warm and delicate, and it is not a common variety on the mainland. There are intricate carvings on the stone pillars, and the tops are decorated with sea wave patterns. Although this style may seem unfamiliar, based on the delicacy of the carvings, Xiao Zhi deduces that it must have come from the hands of a highly skilled craftsman.

Alifa was also very interested in the pillars, and rubbed his head around the pillars.

Xiao Zhi looked around, but did not see anything suspicious of architectural relics.

So, where did this solitary pillar come from? How could it lie alone at such a deep seabed?

Is it the Yuan clan?

Xiao Zhi thought about the rough style of the Yuan people. It was hard to believe that this aggressive race would have such a delicate artistic style. In his perception, if the Yuan clan had buildings, they would probably take a simple, atmospheric, and unbreakable route like the orc tribes in the Long Moon Desert.

He took a closer look at the carvings on the pillars. If he really wanted to say, this style was closer to that of the Xiyue clan, but the Xiyue clan were more gorgeous and preferred to use various jewels for complex inlays. Simple and elegant.

There was nothing else around, Xiao Zhi was puzzled, but he couldn't just stay and guard the pillar.

He took a clear three-view of the pillar, and was going to send it to the teacher when he was free. Maybe the teacher could give him the answer directly.

Xiao Zhi took Alpha and moved on.

As he walked, he suddenly felt the light around him dimmed. Looking up, Xiao Zhi found a large object covering the entire area above his head, blocking the light emitted by the top shells.

The thing was soft and massive, with long, elastic tentacles with suction cups—

It's a giant octopus!

This octopus is still pink, with a light pink circle on it, and the pattern even has a little girly heart, but this pattern can't reduce the danger of this big octopus by half.

It was like a pink dark cloud hovering above Xiao Zhi's head, and its soft tentacles stretched out, giving it a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. Xiao Zhi felt that he was like a small sapling under the dark cloud, so small, so insignificant.

With the previous experience, Xiao Zhi immediately stopped this time, he stood quietly and motionless, and Alifa tacitly did not make any sound.

Xiao Zhi didn't move, nor did the big octopus.

Just when Xiao Zhi thought that this time he could pass the level as smoothly as before, the big pink octopus with an unusual appearance moved. Unexpectedly, it did not leave, but swam towards Xiao Zhi's direction.

While swimming, its tentacles were still dancing happily, like a little girl who found a toy and was so happy that she couldn't help but dance.

There was a bad premonition in Xiao Zhi's heart, this seemed to be a sea monster that didn't play cards according to the routine...

The next second his feeling came true.

The big pink octopus actually looked like a human. It stretched out two tentacles and made a rubbing motion, and then one of the tentacles reached exactly where Xiao Zhi was.

Its movement is not fast, it can even be said to be slow, with a little cautious feeling, as if preparing to pick up something fragile.

Xiao Zhi looked around, except for the stones and sand around his location, there was nothing interesting, except... himself.

Thinking that he might be caught by a big octopus as a toy, Xiao Zhi felt his scalp go numb. According to the power of this thing, he felt that he would be torn to pieces before long, and the difference in body size was too great, no matter how careful the other party was.

Seeing that the tentacles were getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Zhi could no longer pretend that he didn't exist any longer.

When the big pink octopus saw that the toy he had chosen was gone, it was stunned for a moment, and then quickly searched for Xiao Zhi.

Soon, Xiao Zhi felt a huge sound of water coming from behind. He didn't need to look back to know that it was definitely not a small thing that could stir up such a big movement.

He didn't look back, and rushed forward desperately.

Alifa also fluttered his small wings, as if to give him more strength.

The big octopus behind him has been chasing him closely. This time, even the stone can't stop it. The big octopus has a soft body and can dodge the stones on the road extremely dexterously. Even if it is hit, it will be fine, just like being hit by a small ball .

While chasing Xiao Zhi, it waved its tentacles and looked in a good mood. Perhaps in its eyes, he was just like a child playing with butterflies in the wild.

Xiao Zhi, who is a butterfly, is not in such a good mood anymore. He didn't expect to hide from the sea monster all the way, and now he is still being chased by a strange guy.

Xiao Zhi fled forward at full speed, and the exploration rate of the area was also rising. From the original exploration rate that had been around 1% without movement, it finally reached 2%, 3%... and it was still rising all the way.

But the distance between him and the pink patch behind him was getting closer and closer.

At this time, a tall seamount appeared ahead.

The undersea mountain range is endless, blocking Xiao Zhi's way. But there is a gap at the bottom of a mountain not far away. The gap is high, but not too wide, but it is enough for a group of people to easily run in it. It was pitch-dark inside, and didn't know where to go, and didn't know if there was any way out.

Xiao Zhi looked back at the big octopus that was getting closer and closer, and weighed in his mind which one was better to climb the mountain or drill a hole. In the end, his heart rushed into the gap in the mountain.

He thought to himself, although this gap is very high, this guy shouldn't be able to get in.

The big pink octopus rushed in front of the seamount, and its progress stopped for a moment. It glanced at the narrow stone wall and seemed to be thinking. After a while, it actually stretched out a tentacle, perhaps because it felt good, followed by the second and third...

Soon, the entire soft body of the octopus had entered the gap. It was like a naughty child, continuing to chase Xiao Zhi's figure without feeling tired at all.

When Xiao Zhi saw this thing trying to squeeze the three tentacles into the gap, he turned around and continued to run.

Oh shit! Are normal octopuses this soft? ! ! !

And isn't this guy a little too persistent! ! ! Are you not afraid of getting stuck? ! !

There was no light in the gap, and the entrance was blocked again. Xiao Zhi could only move forward by feeling. The strange sound of the soft body squeezing the stone wall was constantly heard behind him, and his scalp was numb.

In the darkness, the strange pursuit and escape proceeded like this.

Xiao Zhi has no idea how long he has been advancing inside. The road in the gap is tortuous, and there is no pattern in the rise and fall. Fortunately, he can easily jump without being constrained by the terrain because of the body of the undead. Continue to escape to the heights.

Affected by the terrain, the speed of the big octopus has also slowed down, and the distance between it and Xiao Zhi is suddenly far and near, but Xiao Zhi has been unable to completely get rid of it.

Finally, there was light ahead.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and rushed towards the bright area.

Xiao Zhi rushed out of the exit and found that he was not at the bottom of the sea. The top of his head was still the sea of ​​stars built by shells, but there was something deeper below.

It was a huge city, even if Xiao Zhi was in a high position, he couldn't see the whole city at a glance.

The whole city is a ring-shaped structure, with various buildings advancing layer by layer from the outside to the inside, which looks very orderly. All the buildings are white, and they should be built with some kind of special stone. Some houses have fallen over, but the stone has not been corroded by sea water.

There are no human traces in the city, but there are many sea creatures shuttled in it, and there are many glowing ones, which are full of vitality.

Such a scene made Xiao Zhi stunned for a moment. He did not expect that after experiencing the wonders of watching the stars under the deep sea, he could still see such a huge city in the depths of the deep sea.

The area of ​​this city may be similar to that of the capitals of various countries on the mainland, but for some reason it is quietly sleeping on the bottom of the sea.

But there was a big octopus chasing him behind him, Xiao Zhi didn't dare to stay any longer, and swam towards the city below quickly.

When I got closer, I found that the city was even more beautiful than it looked. Almost every house was carved with decorations on the stone. That style was something Xiao Zhi had seen before, the style on the solitary stone pillar before. Probably that stone pillar originally belonged here, but I don't know why it appeared alone in the distance.

There are many buildings in the city, and most of them still carry traces of life.

The broken dishes fell on the overturned table. Although the traces of the food are no longer visible, they can still outline the scene at that time. Maybe the family was eating, but something happened that made them have to leave immediately. .

Xiao Zhi constantly shuttled through the buildings, looking for the one most suitable for hiding.

At the same time, he also found that after entering the city, the degree of exploration increased faster than when he was outside. Before, he only gained 5% of the degree of exploration after running around for a long time, and now it has reached 8% after walking in the city for a while.

I don't know how much exploration he will get if he walks through the whole city, but according to the explorers, the exploration degree unlocked by walking is limited, and it is necessary to discover the secrets hidden in each map.

At this time, a pink cloud appeared in the water above, a large octopus, which also squeezed out.

Before he could look any further, Xiao Zhi entered a luxurious looking house. There should have been a very wealthy family living here. There were many rooms and the structure was quite complicated. Xiao Zhi's luck was not bad. He found a basement door and hid in it with Alifa.

Should it be said to be the basement of the rich? After Xiao Zhi went in, he actually saw something like a periscope on the wall. Through this, he could see the outside environment, so that the people in the basement would not be ignorant of the changes in the outside world.

Xiao Zhi stepped forward and fiddled with it, and found that this thing really still works.

However, some algae grew on the lens, and he could only remove the algae close to him, not the ones outside. Although the field of vision is somewhat limited, it is barely able to know the outside world.

Xiao Zhian waited quietly.

A piece of pink floated over in the distance, but strangely, the big octopus also saw the city, but it just wandered outside the city, not close.

Several times it came to the edge of the city as if it had gathered up its courage, and its tentacles twisted and twisted in the sea, but in the end, it just touched its big head with its tentacles and returned.

This action was repeated several times, and the big octopus finally gave up his game of "catching butterflies" and drifted away a little regretfully.

Although the big octopus left, Xiao Zhi's heart was filled with doubts, why did it leave? Is there something hidden here that makes it uncomfortable? Or... what's the danger here that makes it feel jealous?

Xiao Zhi couldn't help frowning and pondering, but there was too little effective information, whether it was about this strange big octopus or this huge city sleeping at the bottom of the sea, he didn't know anything, so he couldn't speculate.

Xiao Zhi decided to go out first, at least the big octopus wouldn't dare to come in. If there are other crises, let's talk about it later.

As he walked, he remembered that the purpose of this trip was to come to Lance. Originally thought that Lance, who had sunk to the bottom, could be found as long as he went to the sea to fish, but he didn't expect that he first broke into the activity area of ​​the giant sea monsters, and was sucked into a new sea area by the seafloor crack, and now he was chased by the big octopus. In an unfamiliar city, the whole process is simply too exciting.

But Lance is still missing.

Fortunately, Lance didn't drown, he didn't need to race against time to rescue.

While walking, Xiao Zhi asked Alifa, "Are we getting further and further away from Lance?"

Unexpectedly, Alifa shook his head and pointed in a direction outside the city: "Gu Gu."

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, that direction was completely inconsistent with the sea mountain range they came over. It stands to reason that Lance should be on the other side of the mountain range.

He confirmed it again: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake, Alifa?"

Alifa also had a little self-doubt. It stuck its head out again, sensed around it, and finally raised its claws and pointed to the same direction as before: "Gu."

Xiao Zhi: "Lance's position has moved?"

Alfa nodded.

Xiao Zhi suddenly thought of something: "Has Lance's position been changing all the time?"

Alifa thought for a while, then nodded again.

Xiao Zhi suddenly had a guess in his heart, he said slowly: "Just before we were chased by the big octopus, Lance's position was on the other side of the sea mountain range, right?"

Alifa nodded: "Gu."

Xiao Zhi: "Then you say, why did Lance come over as soon as we crossed the mountain?"

Alifa: "Gu...?"

Xiao Zhi: "Unless, Lance moved with us. And the only one who moved with us just now is that big pink octopus."

Xiao Zhi thought of the big octopus's enthusiastic attitude towards him, as if he had found a toy, he continued: "Could it be interested in human-shaped things? Could Lance be in its hands? "

A frightened little spark flickered in Alifa's empty eyes: "Gu..."

Are they going to rob Lance under the hands of the big octopus? ! ! !

Xiao Zhi made a decision: "Let's go, let's go to Lance's direction and take a look."

Xiao Zhi took Alpha carefully to the edge of the city.

He hid behind the building and looked outside. saw not far from the city, a big pink octopus was guarding outside, facing the city, as if waiting for something.

It hasn't given up on catching Xiao Zhi.

But this was expected, Xiao Zhi was not too surprised.

What surprised him was another thing. A familiar figure was sitting in front of the big octopus. He usually looked tall, but it looked very small in contrast to the big octopus.

It's Lance.

But... Lance is wearing a small skirt made of pink seaweed at the moment. The small skirts are layered on top of each other, and the style is quite gorgeous. There is also a headdress made of the same pink seaweed on the top of the head. If it's a cute girl, it should look good in such a dress, but with Lance's fierce face and burly figure, it's strange to look at it.

The big octopus on the other side is flexibly weaving seaweed with two tentacles, probably a new little dress, it is self-evident who is wearing it. Plus, it stretched out a tentacle and grabbed Lance's feet, preventing him from escaping.

At the same time, it also waved its two spare tentacles rhythmically, as if very happy.

Lance looked unlovable and seemed to have succumbed to the arrangement of fate.

Alifa couldn't help snickering: "Gu Gu Gu..."

Xiao Zhi felt a chill down his spine, but fortunately he wasn't caught, otherwise he would have worn this suit...

The author has something to say: Lance: I didn't expect that the first woman in the whole text was me...

Xiao Zhi: Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't become the second...

Asen quietly opened a treasure.
