Chapter 1135 Sudden Mutation
"The Whirlpool Sea is so big, it is understandable that any strange terrain will appear." Lei Lei said after a moment of silence, "I once saw a weathered rock mountain in the Wolf Heart Kingdom, which was somewhat similar to these stone pillars. At most, it was not as thin. It’s just long.”
But there is no wind under the water... Although Carmilla thought so, she did not say it out loud.
"Wind?" Joan's voice suddenly sounded in her mind, "It's windy here."
"What did you say?" Carmilla said subconsciously.
"Well, didn't I make it clear enough just now?" Lei Lei coughed twice, "Then let's say it again... When I was in Wolf Heart -"
"It's not you I'm asking, it's Joan!" Carmilla interrupted the other party. Although it was a bit rude, she was so surprised that she didn't care so much anymore, "Joan just seemed to be saying... there is wind at the bottom of the sea! "
All the listeners on the deck could not help but be stunned.
"I can't feel it, but I can hear the sound of the wind... whirring, whirring, whirring, didn't you hear it?"
Yes, this is spiritual communication. As long as Joan can hear it, she should be able to do it too. Carmilla quickly concentrated her energy, and sure enough, in the bottomless sea water under Qiong's feet, there was a faint sound of wind, as if the air flow was quickly passing through the cave.
"I'll go in a little longer," Joan said, "but I'll have to change my posture."
After saying that, she untied the ties on her skirt and let her legs come into close contact with the sea water. Blue scales quickly emerged from her ankles and wrapped her legs into a whole - a fish-shaped tail.
In an instant, Carmilla felt that the resistance and sluggishness in front of her seemed to have disappeared. In just one swipe of her tail, her body rushed far through the water, and she was even more agile than a fish.
This is what Joan really looks like!
The dive speed instantly became much faster.
"Two hundred meters away, the wind seems to be getting louder... There is still no change under the water."
"Four hundred meters away, the surroundings are completely dark... But fortunately, Qiong doesn't rely entirely on light to see. The stone pillars... are still continuing downwards, and new pillars are appearing."
"The rope used to determine the depth has come to an end. Can you add a few more sections?"
"Damn it, how deep is it now? Six hundred or eight hundred? Qiong can't be sure. As for Shi Zhu -" At this point, Carmilla, who had been describing the situation, suddenly froze, "No, this...how is this?" possible……"
"What happened?" Lei Lei asked quickly.
The chief butler of Sleeping Island only felt an indescribable chill rising from his back and suddenly spreading to his whole body, "Pillars, pillars... gone!"
"Gone, do you mean disappeared?" Lei Lei frowned and looked at the sea - the surrounding islands and reefs remained unchanged, and they didn't look like they were gone.
Carmilla held her trembling hand, "There is no seabed... nothing... they are suspended in the sea water!"
These words made everyone take a breath.
In Qiong's field of vision, she clearly saw that several stone pillars had reached their ends, but that did not mean that they had a fulcrum, but that they stopped abruptly, as if the ends had been chopped off, leaving only the upper half silent. Standing quietly in the water. Not only the small stone pillars, but also the islands and reefs. The huge stone pillars stood out of thin air with no support at all.
This scene is really weird and completely beyond common sense.
"Levitated? Do you mean the islands are all floating on the water?"
"Three gods above, those are all just stones!"
"Woman, are you sure you read that correctly?"
"It's impossible. Even if they can float, they can't be as motionless as they are now - without anchor cables to fix them, this current alone would be enough to wash the entire Shadow Islands into the fjord bit by bit!"
There was an explosion on the deck.
"Shut up!" Lei Lei shouted, causing the others to calm down, "Are all the islands and reefs floating?"
"I don't know...their lengths are not the same," Carmilla murmured, "Those new stone pillars are still extending downward."
Moreover, Joan's diving speed has obviously slowed down.
Obviously, although her ability can withstand the pressure brought by the deep sea, there are limits.
Just then, Carmilla noticed a strange sight.
Several of the pillars closer to Joan appear to be "elongated."
Not the overall length - they are almost like tree trunks inserted straight into the seabed deeper, and the ends are not visible at all, so there is no point in talking about length. What caught her attention were the details, the lines on the pillars and attachments such as barnacles - starting from one section, the former seemed to become more slender, while the latter gradually shifted from a circle to an ellipse. Since there are normal samples within a few meters for comparison, it seems quite incongruous.
"Would you like to take a closer look?" Joan sensed her surprise, "There's something really strange there."
"Well," Carmilla cleared her dry throat, "Be careful."
Joan slowly swam to the nearest stone pillar and stretched out her hand to touch those weird barnacles. However, the next moment something shocking happened.
The chief steward saw with his own eyes that the scale-covered finger had grown a bit longer.
"Huh? What's going on?" She stretched out her hand again in confusion, "Is it my imagination?"
Carmilla suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart.
Just when she was about to inform Lei Lei that the deep dive was temporarily suspended, a sea fish swam under Qiong's eyelids.
It was an ordinary silver eel, about an arm long, but when it passed the mermaid girl, its length increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than five meters, it transformed from an eel into something similar to a "sea snake" "creature. But it was not over yet. Its sinking speed continued to accelerate. After a few more breaths, the silver eel was suddenly stretched to the limit. Its tail was still within sight, but its head had plunged into the boundless darkness. , the length is at least over a hundred meters! In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the deep sea like a stream of light, as if it had been sucked in by something.
Carmilla felt that her scalp was numb and her hairs were standing on end!
She couldn't help but shouted, "Get out of there! The exploration is over, come up immediately!"
Unfortunately it was too late.
Joan swung her tail a few times, but her body did not move - or in other words, the speed of her elongation matched the speed of surfacing. Carmilla could clearly see that her fish tail had grown to more than ten meters, but its width was not the slightest. The changes made the scene appear terrifying.
Joan's thoughts also started to panic, "I...what's wrong with me? Carmilla...what should I do?"
"Try harder... don't stop, swim harder! You can do it!" Camilla hissed.
However, all efforts were meaningless. No matter how she swam, Joan's body kept sinking, as if she was stuck in a quagmire. At this moment, not only her tail, but also her body and hands were deformed.
As if she realized something, she stretched out her arms helplessly above her head, "Someone, help me..."
"No!"
Before he finished speaking, his vision suddenly dropped, and then turned into darkness.
Carmilla opened her eyes and knelt down weakly on the ground. Sweat slipped from the tip of her nose and fell on the back of her hands. Only then did she realize that she was covered in cold sweat.
"What happened? Is Joan in danger?" Lei Lei stepped forward and helped her up.
It took Carmilla a while to come back to reality, "I don't know, the spiritual connection... was interrupted." 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading academy
