"Damn it, what kind of nonsense is this?!"
Jiang Yuan was filled with unease upon returning to the eighteenth level of the Abyss of Imprisonment. He knew that this Abyss of Imprisonment held powerful figures from the previous battlefield, and he would never allow the merfolk to help him enter the Ancient Sea Abyss. He would rather cross the Strait of Death to enter.
"Well, we can only take it one step at a time!"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the clam with apprehension, then composed himself and remained on the eighteenth floor. What's meant to be will be; he could only hope that he hadn't exposed his identity, or that the other party hadn't considered pursuing him.
Otherwise, his fate would have been terrible. The strongman on the last battlefield was definitely at the level of a half-dead being, and since he had a relationship with Emperor Yu, the two must have been at a similar level. That kind of strongman was no ordinary demigod.
"Mermaid brother, you have quite a good network within the clan. You committed a major taboo among mermaids, yet people still come to see you. This treatment is quite extraordinary."
The luminous giant squid was truly bored. As soon as Jiang Yuan returned to the eighteenth floor, it came to chat. However, this time Jiang Yuan didn't have many questions. After all, no one wanted to gossip about the big boss; that would be asking for a beating.
"Brother Giant Squid, do you know how to get to the Upper Abyss?"
Jiang Yuan changed the subject. His idea was simple: first, to stay away from the clam so that it wouldn't bother him; second, to go up and find out the whereabouts of the Tiangang Special Forces.
The Glowing Giant Squid mentioned that there are other humanoid prisoners in the Prison Abyss, which must be the Tiangang Special Forces who smuggled themselves down from the mainland. If we can find them, we might be able to get some very useful information.
"You want to go up there?" The glowing giant squid looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.
"Um!"
Jiang Yuan nodded and continued, "There isn't a single decent-looking girl in this lousy place; it's really not a place for a human to stay."
As soon as he said that, the inmates on the eighteenth floor all gave him speechless looks. Was this guy here to serve his sentence or on vacation? Even if you're on vacation, you don't start looking for girls after just a day or two!
"Brother Giant Squid, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Yuan asked the Glowing Giant Squid with a blank look on his face, showing no sense of embarrassment whatsoever.
"Brother, you've got quite the taste for this!" the glowing giant squid replied with a wry smile, unable to find the words to describe the guy's debauchery.
"Just tell me if there's any way to get up there. If you can help me with this, I'll treat you to a big meal every day." Jiang Yuan played his trump card. There's nothing a delicious meal can't solve; if there is, then he'll treat it to a big meal every day.
Are you sure?
Sure enough, the luminous giant squid's eyes lit up when it heard the words "treat us to a big meal." As a sea creature that had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, it had already passed through its initial period of ignorance and confusion. It had new pursuits in life, and food was one of them.
After all, if you can't enjoy your strength, what's the point of cultivation?
"Would I lie to you?" Jiang Yuan patted his chest and assured him.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's assurance, the luminous giant squid began to ponder, "Actually, there is a way, but it's quite difficult."
"To die under a pomegranate skirt is to die romantically, even as a ghost, what are a little hardship?"
Jiang Yuan acted very casually, befitting a dashing playboy.
The luminous giant squid glanced at Jiang Yuan and said, "Remember midnight last night? Actually, midnight is not only the most chaotic time, but also the freest time in the entire Prison Abyss."
"You mean?" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
The luminous giant squid nodded and said with a wicked smile, "You can break through the prison's barrier at midnight to enter other levels, but there is one condition."
"you say."
The luminous giant squid paused for a moment, then continued, "Once midnight has passed, you must return. Otherwise, once the Nine Netherworlds of the Sea are activated, you will be hunted down by the jailers, and even the warden will personally take action."
"You must have experienced the warden's methods last time. In the Prison Abyss, the warden is invincible, so you must never try to challenge him, or you will be doomed forever."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan weighed the pros and cons of this approach in his mind, then nodded and said, "Okay, how exactly will it be done?"
"Let me tell you, first..."
...
"Is this the Ancient Abyss?"
Standing atop the abyss wall, thousands of feet deep, Leng Yue gazed in awe at the magnificent seabed. This was a sight that could not be seen from land. The abyss, tens or even hundreds of thousands of meters deep, stretched across the land like a void black hole, with all kinds of fish and shrimp swimming about, freely roaming under the heavens and in the seas.
"I don't even know where to begin?"
Despite her feelings, Leng Yue was definitely lost at this moment, because she didn't know what to do after coming out of the Prison Abyss.
She was searching for An Xiaoyu, but the Ancient Sea was so vast; where should she begin her search?
She went to find the magic staff that stabilizes the sea, but where is it, and how can she take it with her?
These are all problems she cannot solve.
"Jiang Yuan!"
Leng Yue gave a bitter smile and murmured, "When did I become a little girl who doesn't know what to do without you?"
"No, we can't always rely on him."
She didn't think too much about it. Although she couldn't find her direction now, she would figure it out herself slowly.
Leng Yue took out the jade slip given to her by the merfolk priest. She had no clue about the whereabouts of An Xiaoyu and the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, but she firmly believed that the more difficult a place to find was, the more dangerous it was. Whether it was An Xiaoyu or the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, as long as she went to the deepest part of the Ancient Sea Abyss, she would definitely find the answers she wanted.
