Chapter 117 Under the Ice Sea

Chapter 120 Under the Ice Sea

As the diving bell gradually descended, Yuan Zhisheng's heart began to calm down.

Although he had practiced in the academy before, it was his first time to dive to the sea surface. However, unlike the slightly nervous Shude Aki, he seemed extremely calm.

While concentrating on listening to the breathing sounds coming from the communication channel, he looked around vigilantly.

The sea was very quiet and the ocean currents seemed quite stable.

The fish passed by them in an orderly manner. Occasionally, some curious ones would swim in front of them and take a look at them in the diving bell. Yuan Zhisheng couldn't name these fish, but this did not prevent him from observing these fish.

The state of the fish school can largely reflect the situation of the embryo on the seabed.

...But everything is very quiet.

The sea was so calm that they even saw two white whales swimming past them leisurely, one after the other. The smaller one even tried to nudge them with its head, but it disappeared under the sea after turning flexibly.

The first half of the dive was so calm that they did not encounter any danger along the way. But in the second half, or to be more precise, when they dived to 170 meters, Finger's slightly solemn voice mixed with heavy breathing came from the communication channel.

"Everyone, I saw a door."

... Door?

When Yuan Zhisheng heard Finger's words, he was stunned at first.

This is 170 meters deep in the sea, 130 meters away from the seabed, and the visibility of the seawater is very low. In this case, seeing a door, is this door suspended in the seawater?

Subconsciously, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes swept downwards.

The diving bell that Finkel and Eva were riding in was right below him. He could not see anything unusual. The seawater was turbid and cold. Apart from the diving bell, he could not see much.

"Take the pills. You may have hallucinations due to the influence of the embryonic field."

Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly and spoke in the communication channel.

But for some reason, the originally quiet communication channel suddenly became extremely noisy, mixed with many strange noises and abnormal current noises. His voice was mixed in those abnormal noises and sounded a little distorted.

"I... know... but it's not right... that door... door... door was opened... something came out..."

Intermittently, Finkel's voice came from the communication channel, which seemed to contain some anxious emotions. It was the first time that Yuan Zhisheng heard the other party lose control so much.

Before he could react, there was a sudden sound of chaotic gunfire and Finkel's roar in the communication channel. It seemed that some sudden incident had occurred below, and Finkel and Eva were fighting fiercely with something.

The incident was extremely unexpected. Gunshots were heard in less than half a minute. The communication channel was seriously interfered by the current. Yuan Zhisheng could not get any effective information at all.

Just when Yuan Zhisheng was about to go down to help, he suddenly felt a pulling force coming from the diving bell. Schneider on the sea heard the movement in the communication channel and chose to stop the operation without hesitation. The diving bell was being quickly recovered by the ship on the sea.

Feeling the rise of the diving bell, Yuan Zhisheng stopped his original plan to leave the cabin. He frowned and looked down.

The sea surface below was already very turbid. The current in the communication channel was sizzling. The gunshots disappeared at some point. He completely lost contact with Fingel's team.

Logically speaking, Fingel and his team should not leave the diving bell, because the electrostatic barrier in the diving bell is their important protection. Schneider repeated it many times on the ship before.

But now, the originally chaotic bottom is terribly quiet.

As Yuan Zhisheng hesitated, an inexplicable deep chill surged into his heart. Driven by the sudden sense of crisis in his heart, his heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.

At this critical moment, Yuan Zhisheng released his Word Spirit [Royal Power] without hesitation, then turned around and grabbed the hand of Jiude Aki, whose lips were frozen black, and pulled him out of the diving bell desperately.

Just as the two of them left the diving bell, the thick ice layer completely wrapped the diving bell, turning it into a large piece of sea ice.

If the two of them left the diving bell even a second later, they would be completely frozen in the ice layer. In that terrifying extreme cold, they would not have any countermeasures.

Looking at the black shadow swimming not far below, Yuan Zhisheng's face was terribly cold.

...It was an extremely thin shadow.

In the cold sea water, it looked so light, its slender tail swaying slowly in the sea water, like a butterfly flying without making a sound... It had been swimming silently beside them.

Under the influence of the kingship, its figure was pressed down suddenly, so they escaped from the diving bell so safely, but at the same time, they almost forced themselves into a desperate situation.

... Was it this hatched dragon that was fighting with Fingel and the others just now?

While thinking silently in his heart, Yuan Zhisheng stuffed the underwater rifle in his hand to Jiude Aki beside him, and then took out the spider from the amulet on his neck and held it in his hand.

The amulet was a birthday gift from his sister. It was an extremely magical alchemical product with its own space inside, which could store some sundries.

——It was not until he came to study at Kassel College that he realized how outrageous the things his sister usually took out were.

Without a moment's hesitation, Yuan Zhisheng tied Jiude Aki to the safety rope while the dragon could not float up temporarily under the oppression of the king's power.

The surrounding sea water has become increasingly cold, and the water temperature has dropped below zero. He can still adapt to this environment, but it is hell for Jiude Aki.

Jiude Aki stretched out his hand to him, as if he wanted to pull him together, but the other party had been frozen by the sea water and had no strength. After the dragon appeared, the temperature of the sea water continued to drop.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

He stepped down on the top of the diving bell that had turned into ice, and after shaking his head at Shude Aki, Gen Chisheng cut off the safety lock connected to the diving bell with a knife.

So in an instant, Shude Aki floated up with the rapidly rising safety rope, while Gen Chisheng stepped on the diving bell that had turned into ice and descended rapidly, holding a knife straight to the floating shadow below.

...This is the last scene that Shude Aki saw.
