Chapter 299 - Entering the Sea
Chapter 299: Entering the Sea
The group reached the surface of the sea. At that moment, the sea was calm and the sun had reached the top of the sky. Sunlight shone down, making one feel warm. Meanwhile, fish emerged from the sea and emitted bubbles.
A gigantic whale emerged from the water and spewed out a water jet that was hundreds of meters tall.
Xiao Liang’s submarine stopped on the surface of the sea and did not move. No one else would go out. Only Legendary creatures were qualified to travel to Atlantis this time.
Wei Huo, Lu Qiqi, the golden armor, the Prime Minister Black Dragon, and Xiao Liang jumped into the water. Wei Huo held Poseidon’s trident in his hand and waved it. A huge bubble appeared around everyone and blocked the seawater.
They all continued diving. The deeper they went, the darker their surroundings became. At the same time, all sorts of sounds came from the bottom of the sea. They seemed to be the sounds of an undercurrent or the roars of some kind of underwater beast.
A gigantic sea snake swam past them. The sea snake was colorful and poisonous. The five of them were as small as ants in front of it. However, the sea snake was only at the Epic stage. It did not provoke Wei Huo and the others, and Wei Huo and the others ignored it and continued diving.
When they dived below 500 meters, their surroundings turned pitch-black. However, they were all Legendary creatures. They knew their surroundings very well.
As he dived, Wei Huo asked, “Is Atlantis deep in the sea?”
Xiao Liang replied, “Atlantis is the name of the capital of the Great Western Continent. It’s the equivalent of the capital of England in the Western Continent. What we’re standing on is not the city of Atlantis, but one of the entrances to the Great Western Continent.”
The golden armor asked in shock, “Are you saying that there’s a continent hidden under the sea that’s as big as the Western Continent?”
Xiao Liang shook his head again. “I didn’t say that it’s as big as the Western Continent. However, there can’t be only one city in the formerly prosperous Great Western Continent, right? Even in ancient times, there were both large tribes and small tribes. Humans have the instinct to expand. When the number of people in a city is about to reach its limit, a new city will be built. Have you seen an empire that only has one city? Does it also have family planning?”
Wei Huo said, “In that case, are we going to take a long underwater trip?”
Xiao Liang said, “I’m already familiar with this. Follow me. We’ll head to the entrance of the Great Western Continent.”
By then, they had already dived 5,000 meters deep. Wei Huo held Poseidon’s trident and dived diagonally by following Xiao Liang’s instructions. The deeper they dived, the greater the pressure around them became. However, Poseidon’s trident was indeed a divine weapon. As long as they held this divine weapon, they would not have to worry.
Xiao Liang suddenly said, “The bottom of the sea is not like land. The creatures here are extremely huge. Because there are more creatures at the bottom of the sea and they are more savage, there are also more Epic-ranked creatures. There are also many Legendary-ranked creatures. Although we have quite a number of divine artifacts, we have to be careful. Try not to emit an aura. We can just enter the Great Western Continent quietly.”
No one spoke. They just all followed Xiao Liang’s suggestion.
When they dived 10,000 meters deep, they still did not see the bottom of the sea. It seemed like the bottom of the sea had gone deeper after Earth had expanded.
At that moment, Xiao Liang took out an instrument. It was a pressure-measuring device. He carefully measured the water pressure at this depth and said, “Let’s dive about 50 meters deeper before heading southwest.”
Wei Huo held the trident in his hand and followed Xiao Liang’s instructions. He dived 50 meters deep and continued moving northwest. The seawater parted and created bubbles, but the sound of water flowing was completely different from the sound of water flowing hundreds of meters deep. Due to the water pressure, they felt like they were hearing the sound of mud flowing. If they left their bubble, they would probably feel an extremely strong pressure.
After traveling for about 1,000 meters, Xiao Liang suddenly said, “Stop. Wait for me to cast the spell.”
Wei Huo stopped in his tracks and saw Xiao Liang mumbling something while making hand seals. At that moment, a mysterious aura appeared on his body.
The water around them started moving as well. A few small vortices appeared around the bubble, and they kept spinning around each other. In the end, the vortices merged and turned into a huge vortex.
After Xiao Liang finished casting the spell, he pointed his finger. The huge vortex rushed down at an angle. However, at that moment, an even stronger force shot toward the huge vortex. When the two forces collided, the sudden force became even stronger. The vortex that Xiao Liang had summoned disappeared immediately.
At that moment, Xiao Liang roared, “Follow the traces of that power! That was a counterattack from the protective shield that shrouds the Great Western Continent!”
The power had disappeared, but there were traces left behind. Unfortunately, the traces kept disappearing. Wei Huo immediately chased after them.
Xiao Liang said, “This barrier was created by a Mythical weapon. Not only can this barrier block all attacks, but it can also confuse the creatures outside the barrier and make them lose their direction. This is the power of Rules. I only found the entrance with the help of the Rule Dagger in my hand, but I couldn’t enter. I can give it a try today with the trident!”
The group rushed over, but an extremely powerful current suddenly rushed toward them. Xiao Liang said, “There is a super strong current outside the protective shield. Its direction is very weird. Sometimes, it can even affect the sea. The Death Triangle should have been born as a result.”
Wei Huo said, “It’s alright. The ocean current can’t stop us since we have Poseidon’s trident.”
After he said that, the strong current automatically separated. Everyone dived down. Before long, they encountered a transparent shield.
Xiao Liang said, “This protective shield is very powerful. We have to gather the power of a Mythical weapon to break it. Otherwise, we won’t enter!”
Wei Huo looked at the shield carefully. Rule Power was flowing in it. It seemed like any attack was absorbed by the shield and turned into the shield’s own power. Over the years, the shield had absorbed an unknown amount of power, so it had become extremely powerful. It was difficult to break it with a single person’s strength. It would probably be difficult even if several Legendary weapons joined forces.
Wei Huo said, “Let me try.”
After saying that, he started constructing a Dao Incantation Formation. Golden runes appeared around him one after another and started forming circles before finally forming a magic array.
Everyone heard faint scripture chants. Soon, Wei Huo pushed the Dao Incantation Formation out.
