Gu Shi was a little confused when he was first swept into the current, but after adapting for a while, he gradually got used to the feeling of being pushed forward.
After seeing the young mermaid trying to break through the water flow several times without success, Gu Shi pulled the mermaid's arm a little harder, and after he turned his head, he shook his head at him, signaling him to conserve his strength and stop wasting time.
It’s not that Gu Shi doesn’t want to talk, but every time he opens his mouth, a strong stream of water rushes into his mouth.
Although Gu Shi had drunk the diving potion, in this situation, as long as he opened his mouth, he would be filled with sea water, so he could only use body movements to express his meaning.
In addition, Gu Shi actually had some guesses about this sudden water flow.
Considering that the thing in his hand was still vibrating, Gu Shi felt that this water flow was most likely caused by this pointer. Otherwise, it would not explain why even the mermaid was trapped here.
Gu Shi saw it clearly just now. After several failed attempts to break through with physical strength, the mermaid youth even used magic, but still failed.
After understanding Gu Shi's meaning, the mermaid youth frowned. He looked back at the flawless wall of water, but finally gave up fighting with it and pulled Gu Shi back to the center of the water.
Since they couldn't escape, there was nothing they could do now and they could only follow the current.
Gu Shi raised his eyes to look at the scenery outside the water, trying to judge the direction they were heading. Unfortunately, the water blurred his vision, and he didn't know much about this sea area, so in the end he couldn't see anything.
The mermaid youth beside Gu Shi was also looking outside like him, looking thoughtful.
Gu Shi sighed silently, and after some inner struggle, he signaled the mermaid youth to let go of his hand.
If this water flow was really caused by the pointer on his hand, then the mermaid youth could probably get out by just letting go of his hand.
Anyway, Gu Shi was carrying all kinds of supplies with him, and the diving potions he had saved were enough for him to stay on the seabed for a long time. Even if the mermaid youth was not there, he could survive well.
Facing Gu Shi's actions, the mermaid youth shook his head, his clear voice a little blurred by the water, "I brought you to the bottom of the cliff, and now that you've encountered an accident, how can I just leave you behind?
Our current situation isn't dangerous; it seems the current is purposefully carrying us somewhere. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine for now."
Gu Shi actually felt a little guilty towards this mermaid youth who was probably dragged into this situation by him, especially when he saw that he had never abandoned him, he felt even more embarrassed.
But now that the young mermaid himself refused the suggestion to leave, Gu Shi calmed down and waited for the water to take them to their final destination.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Gu Shi began to feel a little bored. At the beginning, he was still paying attention to the changes in the scenery outside, but later he completely gave up.
Gu Shi felt like he was riding a high-speed train. The scenery on his side kept changing. They were all places he had never been to before. Even if he wanted to remember them, it was impossible for him to remember them completely.
As the water turned another corner and entered a new area, it suddenly accelerated again.
Gu Shi was pushed by the sudden force, and his body fell forward without any support. Fortunately, the mermaid youth kept pulling him, otherwise Gu Shi would have performed a 360-degree rotation in the air in the tunnel formed by the water flow.
The change in the water flow made Gu Shi perk up again. It probably meant that they were about to reach their destination.
Gu Shi glanced at the pointer he had been holding in his left hand. Now the dark red pointer was no longer moving unsteadily. Even under the impact of the water flow, it was pointing firmly straight ahead.
From the force his body was bearing and the increasingly blurred scenery around him, Gu Shi could feel that the water flow was still accelerating.
They now seemed to be sinking deeper into the sea, and the light around them was visibly dimming.
This made Gu Shi frown. At the current speed, coupled with the dark environment, if they accidentally hit something, they would probably end up seriously injured.
Gu Shi had defensive gear on him, so there was no need to be afraid. However, he wondered if the mermaid youth next to him had similar gear.
Gu Shi was just thinking about reminding him, but before he could take any action, he was thrown down heavily and thrown somewhere.
Accompanied by a dull thud, Gu Shi and the other man fell straight to the bottom of the sea, stirring up the water in this area into an extremely turbid state.
Gu Shi coughed twice, quickly used his hands to block the mud and sand that was raised around him, and then took out a lamp from the space ring.
He should be at a considerable depth on the seabed now, surrounded by pitch blackness where one cannot see one's hand in front of one's face. Fortunately, the quality of this magic lamp is very good, and even at the bottom of the sea, it can still be used normally after flickering twice.
Gu Shi held up the lamp and looked through the turbid sea water, quickly searching for the figure of the mermaid youth.
Fortunately, things were not as bad as he thought. Before he could call out, the mermaid youth patted his shoulder from behind.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Shi shook his head. "It's okay. How about you?"
"I'm fine, but I don't know where we are now." The young mermaid looked into the distance, but unfortunately mermaids did not have the talent of night vision, so he could only see the areas around him that were illuminated by light.
"No matter where this is, it must be very far away from Pearl Cliff." Gu Shi turned to face him, and only then noticed that the lighting tool in the mermaid youth's hand was a sparkling pure white pearl.
The young mermaid withdrew his gaze and placed his eyes on Gu Shi. He extended his hand and said sincerely, "It looks like we have to work together to find a way to leave here.
Let me introduce myself first. My name is Thanos, and you?"
"I'm Gu Shi." Gu Shi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Thanos in a friendly manner.
After introducing himself, Thanos was ready to take action. "Let's explore the surroundings first. For safety reasons, it's better for the two of us not to separate. What do you think, Gu Shi?"
"I have no objection."
Gu Shi did not refute Thanos' proposal. He also felt that it would be better for the two of them to act together in this unfamiliar place.
