Wu Xiangwang really didn't expect that the Ocean City was actually built at the pass of an extremely huge underwater mountain range.
They clearly didn't see the mountain under the Ocean City when they dived down from the depths of the ocean. Even when they saw the Ocean City, because the wound was concave, he thought it was a basin on the seabed.
But now looking at this energy map, the sunken area is not a basin, but may be a mountain pass.
"...Can I ask, who chose the site and built the Ocean City?" Wu Xiangwang really couldn't understand why the city was built in such a place.
The seabed is so vast, which place can’t be the home?
It's not like there's only such a large area in our country to build our homes. Isn't choosing this place really asking for trouble?
Even though this world is not the Earth, it is very similar to the Earth in a sense. It has all the natural environments that the Earth has, and it also has all the life that the Earth has, and even more.
It's just that the appearance and the culture of development are different, so... the submarine volcanoes that exist on Earth must also exist in this world.
Although it's not necessarily unfortunate that the Ocean City is built on an active mountain that can erupt, but this location is still very stressful, right?
The weird mantis shrimp had probably already thought about the question raised by Wu Xiangwang, and even these weird sea creatures must have thought about it a long time ago.
So his answer was straightforward: "I didn't choose the address, that idiot Wisdom chose it. He said the three central cities are in a straight line, which means we exist strangely in the sky, earth, and sea, and are the center of the entire world."
"Our leader lost the fight, so he had no choice but to follow his orders and build Ocean City here. But, isn't building Ocean City at the mouth of this underwater mountain actually pretty cool?"
“We may be at the bottom of the ocean, but to the world beneath it, we may be high up in the mountains.”
The shrimp said strangely and pumped his fists: "This is also a kind of romance that those winged guys and land monsters will never understand!"
Wu Xiangwang: "...I don't know if it's romantic or not, but haven't you considered that if this mountain spews out some magma or something, all the sea creatures in your city will die along with it?"
Pipi Shrimp laughed out loud on the spot, and besides him, several other big weirdos also laughed:
"Hahaha, did you hear that? He actually said that the mountain beneath our feet will erupt with magma? What is magma? Do you mean the kind of scalding, flowing underwater flames?"
"What a cowardly and ignorant human being! The Ocean City has been built on this mountain for over five hundred years, and in those five hundred years, this giant mountain hasn't erupted in flames. This proves that this isn't a mountain capable of erupting underwater flames."
"And even if this mountain really could erupt underwater flames, what would it matter? We're not those weird fish with almost no power. We have an extremely keen sense of energy. If this mountain really shows signs of erupting, we'll be able to sense that active energy in advance."
"Before it even erupted into flames, all the monsters in the entire Ocean City had already left."
Wu Xiangwang listened to these big monsters talking to each other, and suddenly felt that he probably regarded the monsters as humans who had almost no resistance to the forces of nature.
Humans always find it difficult to escape sudden natural disasters, but if each of them possesses special abilities, they will probably be able to survive, whether it is an earthquake, volcano or tsunami.
It has to be said that the life in this world is much stronger than the life on Earth in terms of vitality.
"Alright, just consider it an unnecessary question. You can leave now. We will work hard to find the lost ocean gems and... the important big weird thing."
The Mantis Shrimp and the others had already swam to the door of the house. The pink octopus with a red heart on its tentacle was twirling its tentacles and reminded them: "If you really encounter a big weirdo, don't be stubborn and remember to listen to what the big weirdo says.
This way you can better complete the Tongcheng mission! Remember not to resist the big weirdos, listen to them when you encounter them, and you all need to recognize your own identities."
Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan both smirked. "What identity? You're talking about your identity to a human with a bloody wanted criminal notice hanging over his head?"
That's nonsense.
After the five big weirdos left, Wu Xiangwang turned to look at his friends and said, "So, among the four surrounding areas, which one should we go to first?"
Shang Chong actively suggested a place he wanted to visit: "I think that mountain of underwater gemstones with different colors is quite magical. I've never seen one before. Why don't we go and see it? Maybe the ocean gems are buried in that mountain."
Wu Xingyun pinched his mushroom and said, "But I think we should go check out that cracked black hole. Maybe it leads to a secret base."
"No matter where it leads, we can't go directly down that hole, but is there a possibility that the huge black hole is like another world, such as... Earth?"
"I'd like to see the underwater lake in front of Ocean City. I've heard of freshwater lakes and oceans beneath the sea, but having never seen one myself, I've never believed in such wonders. Perhaps today, in this world, I can finally see the underwater wonders I've always wanted to see."
Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses and spoke.
The three people mentioned three different places. Wu Xiangwang thought that the people in their team really regarded Ocean City as an underwater tourist check-in spot, right?
It seems that since I'm here, I have to see all the places.
Wu Xiangwang smirked at his friends: "How about we check in one by one?"
Everyone laughed and said, "That's a good idea."
"Anyway, the city has been thoroughly searched by those weirdos. My intuition tells me that the Ocean Gem must be in this area and hasn't been taken out!"
"Amitabha, I feel the same way."
"Yes, me too!" Taoist Zhang San followed up with a famous saying.
So everyone decided to go in order, first going to the sea within the sea and the lake within the lake in front, then to the high-radiation and high-damage gem mine next to it, and finally to see the bottomless black hole behind the Ocean City. Together with the underwater maze forest that they walked through when they first came here, they had completed this circle.
There's no way anything could be missed.
So the team went straight out of the city gate and prepared to look for the lake in the sea right in front of the city gate.
Because their goal was clear and they could choose to go in a straight line no matter what kind of obstacles they encountered in the sea, it took Wu Xiangwang and his team less than two hours to reach the lake in the sea.
Looking at the "lake in the sea" in front of him, which was actually forming a sharp contrast with the rolling waves and the surrounding sea water, Wu Xiangwang once again felt the wonders of nature.
This is a miracle brought by the Creator that no one would believe if you told them about it.
When Wang Xiao arrived at the lake, he carefully scanned the entire lake with his eyes. The master and the Taoist priest seemed to have some special methods. One of them was chanting and turning the Buddhist beads in his hand, and the other threw out several waterproof talismans from his sleeve, as if he was cooperating in searching for something.
Although the others did not have any special reconnaissance abilities, they all looked at the lake carefully, hoping to find some useful clues from the water of this underwater wonder.
Unfortunately, they still failed.
Even though they spent two hours swimming over the lake at a very fast speed, they still couldn't find anything wrong.
Just as Wu Xiangwang and his companions turned around to leave the lake and prepare to see the colorful gem mountain, Wu Xiangwang suddenly felt the underwater continent beneath his feet tremble slightly for a moment.
He stopped suddenly and looked at the black soil under his feet with a puzzled expression.
"Wangwang, why did you stop suddenly? Did you find something?"
Wu Xiangwang looked at Lin Yuan beside him with some uncertainty. When he saw that this guy nodded to him, his brows frowned even more.
"Just now I felt the ground beneath my feet seemed to shake. Did you feel it?"
Monk Wang Xiao stared at them all in a daze for a moment, then carefully recalled the feeling just now, and shook his head at Wu Xiangwang.
"I didn't feel any shaking from the ground. If there was any movement from this underwater mountain, it would have been a much stronger earthquake."
"That's right, Wangwang. Are you hallucinating because he wants to find the aquamarine? I was walking on the seabed the whole time. If there was any vibration, I would definitely be able to feel it."
Wu Xingyun didn't say anything, but his expression was somewhat confused. Even Wu Er and Zhang San didn't feel anything.
Wu Xiangwang was a little stunned, and he began to wonder if he was really wrong?
However, when he saw Lin Yuan's eyes next to him, he saw the real answer in those eyes.
If you don't forget, you will know that the extremely subtle vibration is real.
But only he and Lin Yuan felt it.
"Wangwang?"
"It's okay. If there really is any major movement, it will take time to prepare. If there is a shock, it will definitely not be just this time. You will feel it then.
And that weird captain said that the weirds won't be killed by sudden disasters. As long as the sea creatures here are still alive and well, then there's nothing to worry about."
This little episode passed quickly. Liusha had gradually adapted to using the power of space to travel through the sea water, and was ready to take his friends directly to a place very close to the colorful gem mountain.
Wu Xiangwang was about to enter Liusha's space when he suddenly stopped and looked at the lake in the sea behind him.
He asked Lin Yuan for some unknown reason: "A Yuan, do you think there's something missing in this lake?"
Lin Yuan didn't keep any secrets: "Not enough fish."
Although Lin Yuan only said two words, it was enough to frighten Wu Xiangwang.
Yes, there should be many strange fish living in such a large lake, but they have been standing around the lake for almost two hours and even swam up to look above, but they didn’t see any various fish in the lake.
Wu Xiangwang thought about it this time and jumped directly into the lake to look inside.
Then, he saw a deep darkness.
This was not the point. The point was that there were finally some fish in the lake. But before Wu Xiangwang could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a shocking scene under the lake -
In just a few seconds, the group of small fish he had seen before disappeared without a trace, not even a single scale left behind.
Wu Xiangwang stayed there for a while before he chuckled twice.
Look, this sudden disappearance without any killing or bloodshed is almost exactly the same as the disappearance of the ocean gems, isn’t it?
But now Wu Xiangwang is even more confused. The ocean gem was lost because it is extremely precious and powerful. It always has its value.
But what special power or value did the small school of fish in the lake he just saw have that could make them suddenly disappear?
