To be honest, Gu Shi has no experience in fighting in water. Apart from anything else, his combat effectiveness will definitely be weakened in such a deep sea.
For example, ice spells could bring harm to oneself if not used properly, so Gu Shi decided not to use it until he understood the freezing power of ice spells on the seabed.
Wind spells will encounter additional resistance in water, so the combat will definitely be different from usual. It will take Gu Shi some time to adapt to this deviation.
Under such environmental conditions, mermaids have more advantages in all aspects, and judging from Thanos's performance in the water just now, there is no need to worry about him attacking them for the time being.
Thanos walked ahead with the pearl in his hand to explore the way, while Gu Shi followed closely behind him.
The two of them were now in a patch of tall seaweed. This seaweed was very tall and large, a bit like an enlarged version of kelp, but it stood there upright.
Gu Shi didn't know the name of this plant, but seeing how Thanos casually pushed it aside, its surface should be non-toxic.
The two men walked forward for a long time and found nothing. There was nothing but seaweed in this area. Even though they had walked so far, the environment around them was no different.
Thanos stopped first and said, "It's not a good idea for us to keep walking like this. How about we swim up and take a look first?"
Gu Shi thought about it and agreed with the idea. "Okay, it's better to find out the situation first. We can't just keep wandering around in this seaweed."
"Then you wait here for me. I can move more flexibly if I go up alone." Thanos handed the pearl in his hand to Gu Shi, and then took out one with weaker light.
From their previous interactions, Thanos had noticed that Gu Shi was not good at swimming. He didn't know if there was any danger outside the seaweed, so it would be more convenient for him to act alone.
Gu Shi also knew his situation. He nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you here. Be careful."
"good."
Thanos swung his tail and swam upstream, and the deep blue mermaid quickly disappeared from Gu Shi's sight.
While Thanos was away, Gu Shi stood in place, took out his staff, cast an elemental shield on himself, and then lowered his head to study the situation of his pointer.
Since it broke away from the water flow, the pointer stopped vibrating and began to indicate the direction quietly.
Gu Shi turned it over and over to study it, but apart from the pointer no longer swinging, he could not see any difference.
He shook the pointer and complained, "Since you've already attracted that torrent of water, why can't you just send me directly to my destination?"
Gu Shi sighed, memorized the direction indicated by the pointer, put it in the secret pocket of his clothes, and waited intently for Thanos to come back.
About twenty minutes later, Thanos came back. He looked a little embarrassed and frowned. It seemed that he didn't get any good news this time.
Gu Shi asked, "What's the situation? Is there any danger outside?"
Thanos nodded and recounted his experience, "At first I swam smoothly to the top of the seaweed. I hid in the seaweed and observed quietly for a while, but didn't find anything unusual.
But when I was about to swim higher to observe the end of the seaweed, a huge fish monster swam towards me from somewhere.
It's huge and very powerful. Judging from the pressure I just felt, the two of us are definitely no match for it."
Gu Shi asked worriedly, "Are you not hurt?"
Thanos waved his hand. "I'm fine. That big fish is extremely sensitive to light and was going for the pearl in my hand." When I realized this, I threw the pearl away.
After the light disappeared, the big fish stopped chasing me. I came back as soon as it left after chasing the pearl.
Gu Shi thought for a while, "No wonder we didn't encounter any monsters in the seaweed just now. They must have been scared away. This area should be the territory of the big fish.
In this case, we won’t be able to find a breakthrough from above, so it seems we have to go from below.”
“Oh, yes.
But this seaweed patch is so vast, we don't know how long it will take to get out. Do you have enough diving potions on you?"
Gu Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the potions I have are enough for me to live in the sea for a long time."
"Okay, let's not waste time here. In order to leave here as soon as possible, let's set off quickly." As he said that, Gu Shi took the initiative to walk forward.
Thanos quickly followed, "You are not familiar with the situation on the seabed, let me take the lead."
"Thank you then." Gu Shi smiled and retreated behind Thanos.
In this way, Gu Shi adjusted the two people's forward route to the direction that coincided with the pointer.
The two of them continued to advance in this seaweed patch day after day.
Because the sun could not be seen in the deep sea, and the watch Gu Shi was carrying was damaged as soon as he took it out, the two of them had no idea how long they had been in this sea area.
My daily routine is also based on my biological clock: I eat when I’m hungry and sleep when I’m tired.
In such a dark and lonely environment, Gu Shi and Thanos quickly became familiar with each other, and it didn't take long for them to become friends who could chat and talk about everything.
Thanos has a good personality. Although he works as a businessman, he does not bring the idea of exchanging interests into his ordinary interpersonal interactions.
After all, Gu Shi is a young man who grew up under compulsory education, and his nature is much better than most humans in the other world.
Two equally sincere people can naturally chat with each other.
During the break of the day, Thanos lay on his back on a rock and said worriedly, "Alas, I have been missing for so many days for no apparent reason. My family must be very worried."
Gu Shi sat beside him, eating and comforting him: "We will definitely be able to go back."
The two of them are now in a space created by Gu Shi with magic. Living in the sea sounds interesting, but in reality, all kinds of troubles arise one after another.
Gu Shi didn't think anything of it at first, but after staying at the bottom of the sea for a long time, all kinds of inconveniences came to his mind one after another.
Under pressure from all sides, Gu Shi quickly figured out how to use wind magic to create a waterless space on the seabed.
Otherwise, why do they say pressure is motivation? Under normal circumstances, Gu Shi would definitely not be able to learn it so quickly.
