The inexplicable disappearance of a group of small fish in the sea water made Wu Xiangwang certain that something must have happened in the lake, but they had no idea what it was yet.
After that, Wu Xiangwang stayed quietly in the lake for a long time. When his friends on the lakeshore couldn't help but want to call him, he walked out of the underwater lake.
"Wangwang, what happened? Did you see anything in the lake?"
Wu Xiangwang nodded and said, "I've seen it happen three times in the lake. The fish in the lake have disappeared inexplicably."
"What do you mean by inexplicable disappearance? Is it what I thought?" Shang Chong showed an expression of disbelief and surprise on his face.
Wu Xiangwang nodded. "Just what you imagined. They vanished without a trace. But when the fish disappeared, they seemed to be trapped by an invisible force, and the waves in that area of the lake increased."
Wang Xiao frowned: "This kind of disappearance...isn't it very similar to the disappearance of the ocean gem?"
Wu Xiangwang smiled at Wang Xiao and said, "You can't say there's no connection. They're exactly the same."
"But what do the ocean gems and the fish in this lake have in common?"
The question Wang Xiao asked was also the question Wu Xiangwang had been thinking about.
Lin Yuan said in a gentle voice with a hint of laughter at this time: "Maybe they all have a certain energy value?"
Wu Xiangwang rolled his eyes at Lin Yuan and said, "Then the difference in value between them is too big, isn't it?"
Lin Yuan added: "No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat."
They couldn't understand why the fish in the lake suddenly disappeared, and they didn't want to stay in this place or in this lake.
"Let's go and take a look at that seabed ore mountain and the black hole behind it. Maybe we can find something else."
It doesn't matter that there are fewer clues now. If you look in more places, the clues will accumulate into a lot.
Moreover, they have the "super express" Liusha, so it is relatively easy for them to travel back and forth quickly between these places.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the underwater mine west of Chengshi from the underwater lake in the south.
This mine embodies all of mankind's fantasies about "mountains of gold, silver and gems". It is brilliant and priceless. Any gem picked out of it can be sold at an astonishingly high price on Earth.
However, none of Wu Xiangwang and his companions took the initiative to approach the mountain. Liusha stopped about a hundred meters away from the gem mountain.
"We can't go forward. If we go any further, an invisible force will destroy our bodies." Liusha shook his head.
Qian Bao was quite familiar with this kind of energy and smiled. "Don't talk about invisible forces, this is actually mineral radiation. I don't have a radiation meter at hand right now, but looking at the fluorescent glow of these seabed minerals, the barren surroundings, and the trembling waves, the radiation level of this mountain must be quite high."
"We might have already been exposed to that energy, but considering our bodies aren't fragile, as long as we don't feel any obvious discomfort, we should be safe."
"So this mountain... is it possible that there are ocean gems buried inside?" Wu Xingyun always kept in mind their most important mission of opening the city.
"The best way to hide a drop of water is to throw it into the sea. If we bury the ocean gem in this mountain, it seems difficult to find it. But the energy is different." Wu Xiangwang shook his head: "The energy of the ocean gem is probably stronger than the energy of this entire mountain. You can sense the difference with just a little bit of sensing."
Wang Xiao pressed his eye and nodded: "In my eyes, the energy of this mountain is indeed huge, but the color is dangerously close to red. This shows that the energy of this gem mountain is very sufficient. However, whether humans or monsters, they cannot directly use the gems in this gem mountain as energy supplements."
"But for high-level energy gemstones like ocean gemstones, the energy they display is usually a gentle color similar to white."
Therefore, there are no ocean gems hidden in this gem mountain. Looking at the surrounding black seabed boulders that are gradually crystallizing, there seems to be no place that can hide life or big weirdness.
"So? This place is okay?"
Shang Chong asked uncertainly.
Wu Xiangwang felt again the same feeling he had in the sea lakes in the south, where he didn't know where to start, as if there was no problem at all but he was always concerned.
"Everyone, check around. If you don't find anything special, we'll go check the black hole at the back."
Everyone had no objection to Wu Xiangwang's words, but to be honest, they also felt that something was wrong.
It's hard to put your finger on what's wrong, but you just feel restless.
Perhaps because he had seen the fish disappear out of thin air in that lake before, Wu Xiangwang subconsciously wanted to look for underwater life around this gem mountain.
He wanted to see if the life in this mountain would also disappear out of thin air like those schools of fish, but the area around this mountain itself was a forbidden zone for life, so he couldn't find any life for him to observe.
Wu Xiangwang carefully walked around the mountain and didn't find anything wrong.
When everyone gathered, they all said they hadn't noticed anything. However, Wu Xiangwang noticed that Wang Xiao had been pressing his eyes to look at the brilliant gem mountain.
"Did you see anything?" Wu Xiangwang asked.
Wang Xiao pressed his eyes again and said, "I don't know if that's what I saw or if it's an illusion. I just felt that the light of the mountain seemed to have dimmed a little in my field of vision."
"It's like the red of fireworks that used to be so dazzling, but now the color is a little lighter than before."
"But when I closed my eyes and rested for a while and looked at it again, the color of the mountain seemed to be the same red as at the beginning."
Wang Xiao pressed his eyes again and said, "You should have the feeling that when you look at the same color for a long time, your eyes will be unable to bear it, so I'm not sure if I have discovered anything."
"That's easy. Let's go to the next place first. If the color of this mountain is indeed getting lighter little by little, then when we come back later, its color should be obviously different." Shang Chong gave the simplest suggestion.
Wang Xiao thought it made sense, "Then come back and take a look later."
So everyone headed towards the last place outside the Ocean City that they had not been to.
It was a massive underwater black hole, so it should have been the hardest place to find anything. And indeed, this was indeed the case. This massive black hole, located behind Ocean City and roughly the size of a quarter of Ocean City, was so vast and deep that one couldn't see the bottom when looking down from above. Wu Xiangwang and his team hadn't discovered anything here either.
"Really? I've been searching for a whole day but haven't found anything. I'm almost thinking of jumping into this deep-sea black hole and taking a look."
"Maybe this black hole may only look deep and dark now, but if you swim to the bottom, it will turn a corner and lead to another unknown ocean or a secret base."
Shang Chong walked back and forth beside the largest underwater black hole. After a while, he tentatively threw a thunder ball into the huge deep-sea black hole.
Shang Chong now has a very precise control over the thunder ball in his hand. The small thunder ball can become bigger or smaller according to Shang Chong's needs, and sometimes it is even more useful than ordinary flares.
So everyone stood next to the black hole and watched the small blue-purple thunder ball fall into the depths of the black hole little by little.
Under Shang Chong's control, the small thunder ball explored along the edge and center of the black hole. At first, some strange-looking fish could be seen in the shallow part of the black hole, but as the thunder ball gradually moved downwards, there was only a deep and quiet black in the black hole.
It is obvious that, at least from the current perspective, this black hole does not lead to another world, it only leads to endless darkness.
Until the distance of the thunder ball was so far that Shang Chong could no longer control it, Shang Chong directly controlled the thunder ball to explode.
The explosion at that moment illuminated the depths of the black hole again, and it was at this moment that Wu Xiangwang felt this extremely subtle vibration again.
He looked at Lin Yuan first.
Lin Yuan also frowned slightly and nodded.
Afterwards, Wu Xiangwang and the others went to the Gem Mountain in the west. Wang Xiao was still not sure whether the color of the Gem Mountain had faded.
So Wu Xiangwang decided to live next to the Gem Mountain today. Getting answers to some questions earlier might help him gain more critical time.
Anyway, they have the snail shell hut, so they won't be content with sitting on the ground.
Moreover, I only had a cursory look at these three places before. If I stay longer, I will definitely be able to see more.
"Then Liusha and I will go out for a walk and get some seafood to eat. I think red crabs and pink octopuses are good. In fact, mantis shrimps are also good." Shang Chong has been thinking about eating seafood since he saw the five big monsters. After all, the city is full of seafood. Even though they look a little uglier and more casual than the various fish, shrimps and crabs he has seen before, as long as they are in the shape of a fish, they always make people think of delicious seafood.
Wu Xiangwang expressed his great agreement with his idea.
So everyone prepared to take a break and find something to eat.
Wang Xiao, Wu Er and Zhang San were guarding the house. After all, the two masters had nothing to eat except grass.
Fortunately, the Snail Shell Cottage has now been upgraded to the Sunshine Garden Villa, which also has a garden field planted with energy wheat, otherwise these two masters who insist on being a vegetarian would have suffered along the way.
Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan also went to the bottom of the sea hand in hand to hunt and have a short date.
Lin Yuan originally thought he had time to be intimate with Xiangxiang, but he was directly dragged to the underwater lake in the south.
"It's a good place to catch fish and see if there are any problems."
Lin Yuan: “…”
Well, maybe unless he leaves this world, he and his Xiangxiang will not be able to have a good relationship.
What else could he do? He could only go along with him.
So Wu Xiangwang observed the lake for a long time, so long that he was sure that something was devouring the fish in the lake.
It lasted so long that he even wanted to rush into the school of fish and be carried away by the force for a moment, but at the last moment his reason prevailed. What if they were not being carried away literally, but being carried away in a wave?
He is probably the first person to seek death.
In the end, he returned to the Gem Mountain with a few fish.
When he returned with the fish, Wang Xiao closed his eyes and gave the answer after observing for so long:
"The energy of this mountain is decreasing. The color has dropped two shades."
At this time, Shang Chong and Liu Sha, who had been out, also returned. They seemed to have gone to the shops in Ocean City and returned with a lot of goods. However, Shang Chong's expression was a little solemn:
“Seven old sea tribe members died strangely in Ocean City today.
This may not seem like a big deal, but didn’t you say before, Wangwang, that the fish in the lake disappeared out of thin air?
I felt something was not right, so I asked the weird captain of Pipixia. Pipixia said that the dead monsters died because they had exhausted their energy and had no vitality, which was normal.
It's just that a few more people died today. Two of the old sea tribe members were actually in good spirits. I didn't expect them to die so early."
Shang Chong frowned: "...This sounds fine, but I understand what you all understand, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Although it seems like a small matter, once all of it is connected, it becomes a major event that has not yet been discovered by the public.
"The fish in the lakes south of Ocean City are disappearing, the energy in the western ore mountains is weakening, the monsters in Ocean City are dying due to energy depletion, and finally, the energy body in the forest tomb in the east has vanished without a trace."
Wu Xiangwang summarized the information he had obtained: "In the five directions of east, west, south, north, and center, there is no way to accurately detect changes except the direction of the black hole. There are problems in the other four directions."
If there wasn't some huge conspiracy brewing, he felt like he could pee upside down.
"So... who is it and what are they going to do?"
They have to find the ocean gems as soon as possible.
And when the huge plan began to take shape in the eyes of Wu Xiangwang and the others, the same question was asked in a strange and soft voice in the gloomy darkness.
"Chief, what are you going to do?!"
"What on earth did these two damn weirdos tell you that allowed you to attack the entire Ocean City?!"
"Chief!! We have absorbed an enormous amount of energy! It's enough to make you the king of this world! Why do you continue to absorb energy?! If you continue, the monsters of our sea clan will also become sacrifices!!"
The three huge and ferocious-looking sea creatures showed puzzled expressions on their strange faces at the same time. They were questioning their leader whom they trusted and respected very much.
But the handsome King of the Sea, who looked like a sea god, lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing in response to their questions.
What is He doing?
He is doing things that can change the world.
