Chapter 103 Underwater Cave, Giant Monster
The moment you jump into the eye of the sea, the surrounding environment feels like you've traveled through a time tunnel.
This sea eye is so huge that the journey down to it takes almost ten minutes.
It experienced about ten minutes of free fall.
With several splashes, the masters all surfaced. However, thanks to Qingfeng's presence, Shen Jue did not fall into the water.
Upon arriving here, Shen Jue turned on the searchlight on her wrist.
It's pitch black here, and it's hard to find your way without any light.
When the lights came on, the surrounding environment came into view.
This seems to be a very interesting underwater cave. There's even air circulation?
Inside the cave, there are many strangely shaped protruding rocks that have been sculpted into unique shapes by the erosion of the sea.
Some even show various fossil shapes.
Materials like coral and seashells, accumulated over a long period of time, form small mountains.
Above them was a sea mouth, which looked like a thin black film, firmly attached to it. For some reason, no water flowed in.
It's incredible; nature's artistry is everywhere.
Of course, even if seawater floods in, Shen Jue is not afraid.
She has a diving suit for protection, so she can move freely in the deep sea.
The little trinket on Shen Jue's wrist caught the attention of the others.
"Shen Jue, do you still have any lighting equipment?"
"I knew you masters wouldn't bring these things. Here, I've prepared them all!"
Shen Jue took out several bundled flashlights and distributed them to the masters.
"What's our next step?"
“The water is flowing west, so if we head west, we might reach the shore there,” Mu Xingran suggested.
"Let's go, we don't have any better options now. But this place is really strange, how come there's an underwater cave?"
"You should be grateful that there's an underwater cave here! Otherwise, even communication would be a problem for us."
The group walked westward following the direction of the water flow.
About five or six hours later, the water could be vaguely seen connecting to the shore.
When the lights shone on it, a large pile of damaged ship hulls was visible on the shore of the underwater cave, and a huge cruise ship was also visible deep inside.
These shipwrecks are scattered along the shore, like a forgotten battlefield. They are riddled with holes by the sea, some broken into pieces, and others reduced to mere fragments.
These broken hulls must belong to people who entered the Black Sea but never came out.
They drifted in the Black Sea for a long time, unable to escape due to the chaotic magnetic field. The waves in the central Black Sea were very large, easily scattering passing ships. These scattered hulls were swept into the sea eye by the waves and eventually fell into this underwater cave. They all seemed to come from the distant past.
The seawater kept crashing against the rocks on the shore, stirring up waves.
There's simply nowhere to put your feet here.
It's so crowded!
"There seems to be a gap over there?"
"Could it have been dug up by someone before? Let's go take a look."
Qingfeng shrunk in size, and Shen Jue flew over on the Flying Halberd.
Entering the crevice, it was narrow at first, but after walking a few dozen steps forward, it suddenly opened up.
As they ventured deeper, they gradually discovered that the other end of the crevice led to an ancient ruin.
The entrance to the site is near a forest of fossilized corals.
In addition to coral fossils, they also saw some huge skeletal fossils, which looked like the remains of some unknown creature.
Within these ancient ruins, Shen Jue also discovered the skeletal remains of a peculiar creature. The upper half of these skeletons resembled that of a human, while the lower half was that of a long fish skeleton.
The skeletons were well-preserved, which made Shen Jue think of merfolk. Merfolk had died here before, judging by the number of merfolk skeletons.
There are many merfolk who died here; they might even be an entire clan.
What kind of disaster could have wiped out a group of merfolk in an underwater cave?
Unless there are merfolk's natural enemies here.
Shen Jue and his group continued to explore the ancient ruins, hoping to find more clues.
According to Clidor, they should have gone directly to the seabed through the sea eye, instead of inexplicably ending up in this underwater cave.
Their first priority is to get out of here.
Therefore, the clues found along the way are very important.
The site also contains many unique architectural features and carvings, as well as patterns and symbols.
In addition, they also discovered some ancient texts and murals.
Although the murals are so badly damaged that their original appearance is no longer visible.
But Mu Xingran was certain that the route they were on was correct.
If we keep exploring in this direction, we might be able to leave this underwater cave.
Passing through the ancient ruins, on the other side of the ruins lies an endless expanse of water.
The water was somewhat murky and was even slowly rising.
In this dimly lit environment, no one would notice such details.
So they naturally went into the water.
Although the masters were able to hold their breath underwater, they still had to take a fresh breath every now and then.
They had to stay close together during their time underwater because communication was always a problem, so they used several key hand gestures to communicate.
