Chapter 47: Escape From the Sea of ​​Suffering

"Do you know what this is?" Shuixu asked, pointing to the thing in front of him.

I nodded. "I have never seen this thing, but I have seen similar things."

"Then what is this?"

"I can't say for sure, but this one is very close to the one I've seen before, but the one I've seen doesn't have the function of this thing."

"What about our passage? Don't tell me this is the passage." Shuixu pointed to the huge stone plate on the ground covered with gems. "Are we putting all this effort just for such a piece of trash?"

"Don't get excited yet."

"What happened?" Three other big monsters suddenly appeared behind us. Maybe we had been in for too long and they couldn't wait to come in to see what was going on.

"What is this?" Yin Yao, who was wearing a red fur costume, walked up to the stone plate and stroked its surface. "What a strong power fluctuation!"

"Why don't you dig anymore?" Qiong Lin, who was wearing a black robe, looked at me and Shuixu and asked.

Shuixu looked at me, and I looked at everyone and had to explain slowly. "First of all, don't get excited. Let me tell you the situation. First of all, we are sure that there was once a channel leading to the ocean. The sea books in the Qiankun Gourd and the ships came from here. After that, even the magma seemed to be sucked. Come in."

Shuixu continued: "But when I dug along the magma, the magma suddenly disappeared. After I cleaned up all the nearby magma, this thing was left."

"Does that mean the passage has disappeared?"

"Don't get excited, calm down!" Seeing that they were about to get angry, I quickly calmed them down. "Listen to me first. Although the passage ended suddenly, this thing is still there."

"What's the use of this? We just want to go out and don't need gems!"

"I know, please listen to me! I am also a leader who wants to organize outside Hulu, and then there is the Temple of Light and Isengard, which attacks my headquarters. At that time, I used a strategy, which was to use me Taking advantage of the fast movement of the Fang troops, they gave up defending the city and took the initiative to attack. They engaged in a 'harassment' battle halfway."

"What does this have to do with us?"

"It's a big deal. At that time, my troops successfully harassed us, but the enemy pretended to retreat, but in fact, they suddenly arrived next to my city and launched a surprise attack on my city."

"How did they get there suddenly?"

"This is the key. At that time, they used a strange device that looked very similar to the stone plate in front of you. That thing was called an asymmetric teleportation array, and it sent all the enemies under my city in one go."

These monsters are all super old monsters that have been around for tens of thousands of years. Each one is more sophisticated than the last. They understood it as soon as I told them.

Shuixu asked carefully: "You mean, this thing can send things from one place to another place?"

Qiong Lin added: "That means the sea water outside is probably caused by this thing?"

I nodded: "That's roughly it. But the details are a little different. First of all, the one used by the Temple of Light was instant teleportation. It could only send things in a fixed space to the destination at a time, just like grabbing rice with your hands. It can be grabbed handful by handful, but obviously, the sea water in the gourd cannot be caught in bit by bit. If it is intermittent transfer, there will be no water pressure in the first place. Furthermore, the staged transfer cannot form a vortex. The boats outside were also pulled in."

"you mean……?"

"What I mean is that this one is different from the one in the Temple of Light. This one is not a staged transmission but a direct space channel, just like a space door. The sea water rushes in through this door."

"That is to say, as long as this thing is activated, a passage will appear connecting the inside and outside of the Qiankun Gourd, right?" Yin Yao asked.

"Yes. If this thing activates, this room will be directly connected to the sea, and we can get out."

"But how do you activate this thing?" The monsters stared at each other and didn't know what to do. This was obviously not an ordinary Taoist magic weapon. It's not that easy to manipulate, and even if it's a Taoist magic weapon, these monsters won't be able to use it. They are not gods at all.

"That's why I asked you to be quiet! Although I don't know how to use this thing, I at least saw it used by others, and my own guild also has similar equipment. I believe I can figure out what's going on after some research. .”

"Then you study quickly, we won't talk anymore." What the monsters are most concerned about now is whether they can leave the gourd that has sealed them for tens of thousands of years. Everything must make way for the escape plan. I heard that I want to study ways to open the channel. Several big monsters really all stood in a row against the entrance of the cave and stopped making any sound.

"Well, can you make a waterproof barrier to keep the water in this room out of the passage? I want to find helpers, they don't like the water environment."

"Okay, we'll do it right away." Shuixu quickly opened a few barriers, and then Qiong Lin and Bi Tuo worked together to make the water disappear, and the entire passage suddenly turned into an ordinary cave. These guys were still Really capable.

I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space to let out several humanoid demon pets, and the little dragon girl was also called in to study with us.

I pointed at the disc on the ground and said, "Who among you knows this thing?"

Xiao Longnu shook her head first: "It's not from the Immortal family anyway."

Xiaochun looked at it for a long time and said: "This seems to be a kind of space transformation array. But I have never seen such a complicated structure. Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Ling shook his head: "The Dark Temple has never made such troublesome equipment."

Amynis suddenly said: "Don't you think this thing is very similar to the style of the Dragon Clan?"

"Dragon clan?"

"Yes." Amynis nodded: "Haven't you read the Magic Factory Guide?"

"what is this?"

"It's a book that specifically introduces the techniques of various craftsmen. I've read one before."

"The characteristics of craftsmen of various races are mentioned above. Dwarves are pragmatists. As long as it is easy to use, they don't care whether the things they create are beautiful or not. Elves are naturalists, and their works have simple structures and special shapes, and are called fine Utensils that are like works of art. Humans are a hodgepodge and dare to make anything. Although they have no special skills, they can make everything. Dragons are expert magic tool makers. Their equipment strives to be complex, even if it only needs to achieve a very simple function. They also make magic items extremely complicated, but usually no one asks the Dragon Clan to build simple equipment, so all their things are exquisite and complicated super items. This teleportation array is obviously a similar equipment, you see, these gems. "

The gems that Amynis refers to are all processed, and there seem to be some patterns inside.

"Did you see it?" Emmenis pointed at the gems: "These gems are all engraved with magic arrays using internal carving techniques. They are also known as the most complex natural energy absorption arrays. I don't think anyone will be stupid except for the perverted hobbies of the Dragon Clan. When it comes to carving this kind of magic circle in a gemstone, after all, the magic power that supports the inner carving technique is something that not everyone can afford."

Ling patted me and said, "Then call Lucky and the others to help. They should know what this is!"

yes! Fortunately, they are dragons. How could I forget this? First inform Fenglong to let Lucky and the others turn into human forms before they come out. Not to mention four dragons, one is not enough in this small place. Fortunately, the four of them came out of the Fenglong space in human form.

"Wow! What kind of place is this? Where's the tide?" Although dragons can swim, they don't like getting wet. The environment here makes Lucky uncomfortable.

"Stop complaining, come here and help me take a look at this thing."

Ling, Xiaochun and the others stepped aside to let Lucky and the others come over to take a look at this strange device. Crystal started to say before he got close: "Huh? Isn't this something from Dragon Island?"

"How do you know?" I looked at the crystal in surprise.

"What don't you know about this?" Crystal squatted down and pointed at a pattern on the edge of the stone plate as if it were a matter of course: "This also has the mark of Dragon Island printed on it."

This is called the gap! We all looked around and stared at each other, and others would know it at a glance.

Xiaosan squatted down opposite the stone plate and said, "Isn't this the work of Uncle Flame?"

"How did you know?" Xiao San also saw a lot of information.

Xiao San pointed to the mark: "This is uncle's magic brand to prove that he did it. Others cannot imitate it."

After working on it for a long time, the dense patterns on this thing are not magic symbols, but various records! "What kind of seals are these?" I asked, pointing to the lines next to them.

Plague glanced at it and said, "That's not Zhang."

"Not Zhang? Then what is this?"

"This is dragon language."

Phantom immediately shouted: "I know dragon language, this is not dragon language at all."

Lucky also squatted down and looked at the text and said: "Of course you don't know it. This is a special way of depicting dragon language. It is similar to cursive script in Chinese, and this is crazy cursive!"

boom! Everyone in the room fainted except for the four dragons. Co-author We came across the work of a dragon calligraphy master, but even Phantom, a linguist, didn't recognize it as dragon language.

I got up from the ground and said to Crystal: "Can you translate these and tell us what is written on them?"

Crystal looked at it and said: "The grammar of dragon language is quite special. I can't translate it sentence by sentence. I'd better wait until I read it all and tell you the general idea, right?"

"Well, that's fine too."

The crystal circled around the stone plate and even lifted it up to take a look at the bottom. Then he said: "The production date and some specifications are written on it. But there is a paragraph written at the bottom saying that this thing was made by the Dragon Clan at the request of the Eastern Divine Religion. , was completed in the 34th year of the Tianhe Calendar." Crystal said it but then felt something was wrong. "Wait! It's 34 years in the Tianhe calendar. Damn it, this thing is hundreds of thousands of years old!"

Plague suddenly dragged the side of the stone plate and said, "Why is there French in this?"

"Do you know French?" It was the first time I knew that Plague could speak French.

Crystal walked over and looked at it and said: "The language Plague speaks is not the French language. The French he speaks is the language of law, which can be regarded as the common language of the God Realm."

Ling Ye helped explain: "There is indeed a common language in the divine world, but there are not many gods in the world, so we haven't used it much."

"Then what's written on it?"

Crystal looked at the words while translating: "In the name of the law, this object is allowed to pass through the barrier of time. This is only to correct the wrong history. May everything return to the beginning. There will be no more!" Crystal stood up and looked at us: "Okay. The origin of something like this is quite complicated!”

"I don't care where it came from. I just want to know how this thing is used."

"Use?" Plague looked at me and said, "This is a space interrupter. If the other half of it is in water or magma, we will be in trouble."

"In fact, we are already in the magma. Don't you smell the smell of sulfur all around? And this is also in the water. Don't worry, you just tell us how to use it."

"Just press down the gem in the middle."

"It's that simple?"

"How complicated do you think it is?"

"But this gem can't be pressed!" I pressed on that gem for a long time to no avail.

Lucky said: "This is something belonging to the dragon clan. It needs to be calculated using the power of the dragon. How can you press it down without using any force?"

"Would it be bad if you use too much force?"

"If it breaks, it is no longer a product of the Dragon Clan."

"Okay. Let's all go back." I put all the demon pets back into Fenglong Space, leaving only Chili to protect me. If it opens and there is rolling lava, it will be troublesome.

The four monsters behind me all looked at me excitedly. They were all waiting for me to open this passage that they had dreamed of for n years. Lucky said to use force, so I simply turned eternity into a hammer and smashed it against the gem. Anyway, the strength of the dragon is much greater than this hammer. If it is really calculated according to the strength of the dragon, this hammer will definitely not has a problem.

when! The hammer suddenly hit the gem, and the gem sank down. I quickly took back eternity. After the gem entered the stone plate, it began to rotate slowly, and continued to sink while spinning. Suddenly, there was a click and the gem stopped rotating. All the gems around the stone plate lit up, and then the lines on the surface of the stone plate also began to glow.

Without warning. The surrounding rooms suddenly disappeared, and red lava poured down from all directions, instantly immersing us all in it. Fortunately, we were well prepared, and Chili's mental stance opened up a small space to protect the two of us. The monsters behind did not panic when they saw the lava. They didn't care about the temperature at all, but they were all extremely excited at this time, because the appearance of magma also indicated that the channel was open. There is no magma in the gourd. No matter where the magma is outside, it is not inside the gourd.

But just as the monsters were about to jump up in excitement, the magma suddenly disappeared, and the room turned back into a room again. The gems on the stone plate were extinguishing one by one, and finally dimmed completely. The expressions on the faces of the monsters cooled down from the extreme joy as the stone plate dimmed. Then back to freezing point. The stone plate on the ground was completely extinguished, and the gem in the center rotated in the opposite direction and rose back to the way it was before being struck. It was as if nothing had happened.

"What the hell is going on?" Shuixu shouted first.

"Calm down! Calm down! Take a deep breath!" Although the monsters were angry, at least I had opened the channel once, and they still took me seriously. Although their emotions were almost out of control, they suppressed their anger and waited for my explanation after hearing me tell them to calm down. "Calm down first. I guess the situation is like this. Whether it's sorcery, magic or Taoism, these spells all consume something anyway. Hex magic consumes demonic power. Taoism consumes real power, and magic consumes magic power. Anyway, you can get it. You have to pay. This magic circle obviously has to operate according to this requirement. It must have a source of power, right?"

Seeing the monsters nodding to show their understanding, I continued: "It took a few days for the seawater to fill the entire space after the passage was opened, which means that the passage was always open during this period."

The monsters nodded again.

I continued: "But the passage was closed when we got here. Why has it been open for so many days, and then it was closed when we got here?"

The monsters looked at each other, and Shuixu suddenly said: "The energy is used up."

"That's right. This thing works on the energy in these gems. Once the energy consumption is over, it will automatically shut down. So this thing was closed when we came here. That's because it has been opened for several days and the energy has been used up. .”

"Then what should we do now?" Shui Xu asked.

"Actually, it's very simple. Just recharge it. It was indeed opened for a short period of time just now. You also saw this. Why can it be opened again when the energy is exhausted?"

"Because it has been replenished." The answer was still Shuixu.

"Yes. My demon pet just said that there are energy-absorbing magic circles in these gems. It automatically absorbed some energy after it was turned off last time, but it was obviously not enough. It only turned on for a few seconds and then disappeared. . What we need is to replenish energy and let it open for at least two or three minutes, otherwise it will not be able to pass completely. Including the time of drilling the hole, it has to be very reliable. "

"Yes. It makes sense. But how to rush it?"

"This thing can absorb external energy, so you just spread your demonic power around it. I think this can speed up the absorption."

"Then I have to try it first."

Leave the job of inputting demonic power to four old monsters, and I will just watch from the side. Because we didn’t know the relationship between absorbing demonic power and activation time, we did a few tests first. First agree on a demon power concentration, and then use it as a standard to release and record the time.

The first charging took 10 minutes, and then the transmission equipment was turned on and worked for only ten seconds before being turned off again. The second time we rushed for half an hour, but it ended after holding on for more than forty seconds. Finally, the approximate conversion relationship is that one minute of charging can last about 1.5 seconds. To open it for one minute, it takes 40 minutes to charge. That is to say, to charge at this speed, it will take 400 minutes to charge ten kinds of energy.

I experimented again, this time doubling the concentration of demonic power and still running it for 10 minutes. As a result, it turned off again twenty seconds after it was turned on. After a few more experiments, I came to a conclusion. Increasing the concentration of demon power can indeed shorten the charging time. But the conversion between demon power concentration and time is not directly proportional. The concentration doubling time is not halved.

In the end, we chose an energy concentration that could last longer, and then started charging. There are so many monsters here, so don't worry about lack of strength, everyone lines up in two lines. One team goes in and one team goes out, taking turns coming in to deliver energy. It’s almost done. After more than four hours of fiddling with it, we decided to start the experiment.

The first thing to do is to reduce the formation of the monsters as much as possible. The door can only be opened for about ten minutes. There are nearly 100,000 monsters here. It is not easy to get out all of them. They must be organized. First, let all the monsters that can be attached to the body be attached to some objects. Various objects have different carrying capacities for the monsters. Generally, magic items are easier to store, so I took out a bunch of equipment from the bracelet for them to hide at. The equipment that is prone can no longer be put into the bracelet. Those monsters who cannot be prone are responsible for carrying these equipment through the passage.

Fortunately, most of the monsters know how to hide, and the number of remaining monsters is less than 3,000, so this will be easier to handle. The second step is to shrink your body. Big monsters know how to transform. This time, they are asked to shrink themselves as small as they can, and then they are fixed on the body of a fast monster. Wait for the door to open. A fast monster rushing out is equivalent to a bunch of monsters rushing out, which is much more convenient.

In the end, there were more than forty monsters selected to serve as transportation vehicles. That should be almost it.

Shuixu was beside me, ready to reveal his true form at any time and dig up the magma. The three ice monsters behind him were responsible for cooling the magma to form a channel. I put away the peppers to save space and rode on the King Kong Devil Ray, and he took me out. The monsters lined up in sixteen rows, ready to rush over as soon as possible. This is water, so the so-called sixteen rows are actually three-dimensional. No matter how big the water is, it is impossible to dig a passage as wide as sixteen roads. We can make full use of the height of the passage to speed up the passage by arranging it three-dimensionally.

"Are you ready?" I asked everyone after everything was ready.

"alright."

I turned eternity into a sledgehammer and smashed it against the gem in the center of the stone plate, then quickly put away eternity and jumped back onto the King Kong Devil Ray before the device was fully activated. The space around the room suddenly changed, and magma appeared and began to pour down towards us. The ice monsters had been prepared for it, and they were frozen into rocks as soon as the magma appeared.

"It's my turn." Shuixu revealed his true form and began to dig the passage. The ice monster followed and froze the walls of the passage. We followed step by step to save time.

I said to the monster behind me: "When the passage opens, don't mess around. Just follow me and run. If I don't stop, don't stop."

All the monsters behind them nodded fiercely. The plan to escape for ten thousand years was right in front of them. No matter what they said, they had to listen.

There was a sudden boom in front of me, and then the speed of the water suddenly accelerated. I knew that the passage had been completely opened, and the sea was outside. "Follow me and charge!"

As soon as Shui Xu came out, he immediately stepped aside. The three ice demons did the same thing. I rode the King Kong Devil Fish and followed him out of the cave. Every time I stopped, I shouted to Shui Xu who seemed to want to say something next to me: "Follow me." Don’t stop fucking me.”

Shui Xu was a little confused, but he followed immediately. In fact, this is the problem for many people passing through narrow passages. Many people compete for the entrance of the passage, which actually affects the speed. In addition, the people who get out first often stop on the opposite side of the passage and block the exit. The key to passing quickly is not to rush, and don't stop moving forward to make room for those behind you. I asked them to follow me and not stop just for this purpose.

I directed the King Kong Manta Ray upwards until a faint light appeared in front of me and then slowed down the Manta Ray. It seemed that it was almost reaching the sea surface. As long as the channel was not closed, all the monsters following me should have come out.

The monsters were still a little confused when they rushed out. I kept running in front. They followed me as promised and had no time to think about other issues. Now I suddenly stopped and they all looked at me in a daze.

"You are free." My sudden words shocked them all. I pointed to the bright light above: "Do you see the light? That is the sun, the real sun, not the magic light in the gourd."

"Oh! I'm free!" The sudden roar scared all the fish around him away.

The monsters were celebrating with each other, but none of them went upstream, which made me very curious. "Why don't you move? Once you get out of the water, you will be truly free."

Shuixu gasped next to me: "We were already very weak because of the seal, and we soaked in the water for so long. We consumed too much demon power for the location of the Water Separation Art. We just replenished that thing for so long. Due to the magical power of time, we were almost fainting when the passage opened. Just now we followed you with a burst of energy and blood, but now we have no energy anymore when we stop. We have come out anyway, so let us go up slowly. ! If I try to kill myself like this again, I’ll be dead! I’ve never been so tired since I was born!”

As we were talking, there was suddenly a loud bang at the bottom of the sea, and everyone looked down together. "What happened again?"
