Chapter 116 The Secret Hidden Beneath the Sea
Rachel's departure did not shake everyone's determination to find Ah Chen.
Feather Fan and Little White were not alarmed. As A-Chen's closest blood relatives, they would have sensed if he had suffered a fatal injury.
The last image uploaded back by Achen's mech was a shaking cockpit, followed by complete darkness.
The blackness on the screen can be interpreted as them being sucked into a black hole, or as the electromagnetic signal being forcibly interrupted, preventing the camera from capturing any images.
No one can find any trace of Achen and the mecha now, so the most likely explanation is that they are no longer on this island.
"If I am the one who set up the meteorite belt killing array, then could it be that I moved this Egret Island Star from somewhere else?"
"Mao Li, take the warships into the air. I want to survey the entire island from above once more; perhaps that will help me find the secrets hidden on this island," Yu Shan said after a long period of contemplation.
The warship took off again, and looking down with the naked eye, the entire island really looked like a heron about to take flight, especially its pair of long, slender black legs, which were almost at the same angle to its body, making it look exceptionally lifelike.
"According to conventional thinking, that person must be hiding some secret or treasure on this island."
"But there's another possibility: the island itself might just be a distraction, and the real secret could be hidden beneath the vast sea," Xiaobai suggested.
At this moment, the setting sun is shining from behind Egret Island, casting long shadows on the sea. The heron's long beak looks as if it is pecking at... a whirlpool beneath the surface of the sea.
“That vortex!” Feather Fan exclaimed.
Following the direction she pointed, Xiaobai instantly teleported there, and Matt immediately used his mental energy to probe in that direction as well.
“An invisible barrier!” Xiaobai and Matt said in unison.
Matt condensed his mental energy into a spike, but it was as if he had pierced thick rubber; the mental spike bounced back.
Xiao Bai's ice blade pierced through, but it was also deflected.
"Alright, stop wasting your energy. If my deduction is correct, this is the core of a formation within a formation."
I saw this formation in the temple of the Holy Witch Clan when I was a child. To break through the formation's core, one must first use a special formation plate.
The astrolabe we have here is precisely this special array.
It also requires the help of the first wisp of primordial energy and the gathering of the energy of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"Among us, Xiao Bao is of the metal element, Doctor Bo is of the wood element, Xiao Bai can convert ice to water, and Lele is of the fire element. We're still missing an earth elementalist," said Yu Shan.
“Madam, I am of the Earth element.” Hua Jingyishu hurriedly said. He had found himself with no use for his skills along the way, which made him extremely anxious. Hearing that there was a place where he could be needed, he immediately stepped forward.
“Very good, now all five elements are complete, only the east wind is lacking. Everyone, please rest on the warship for now. Tomorrow morning, I will collect the first wisp of primordial energy, and then you will all work together,” said the feather fan.
Everyone was worried, and no one slept all night except for the feather fan.
Yu Shan was also worried about her son, but she was also carrying Xi'er in her belly. Pregnant women are naturally sleepy, and she couldn't stay up all night, nor did she want to force herself to stay awake.
Just as dawn was breaking, Xiaobai saw her wake up yawning and said with concern, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm really sleepy, but where can I truly rest easy?" Yu Shan said.
After washing up and having a meal, Xiaobai put his arm around her waist and teleported her directly to the bird's head on Egret Island.
The five types of people she needed were already gathered there, waiting for her command to give them their all.
As the sun revealed its first crimson rays, Yu Shan activated the Holy Witch Clan's Spiritual Eyes. She formed hand seals and extracted a wisp of pale purple primordial energy from the first ray of sunlight.
This wisp of primordial energy is the most precious, yet also the most difficult to preserve.
The feather fan guided this wisp of primordial energy, directing it towards the very center of the star chart that Xiao Ran had given her.
As this wisp of primordial purple energy was injected, the star chart instantly lit up, and a five-pointed star pattern was reflected on the vortex that the bird's beak had pointed to in the sunset yesterday evening.
Five grooves immediately appeared in the vortex, and Feather Fan gave the order: "Everyone, release your supernatural abilities simultaneously along those five grooves!"
After the five types of supernatural abilities were injected into the five slots, a colorful halo lit up the vortex, and they spun around like a colorful windmill.
When the multicolored halos merged together, they turned into a white light, and then a "pop" sound came from the vortex, and the barrier shattered in response.
At the same time, Matt exclaimed excitedly, "My mental network has detected a palace beneath that vortex!"
"I'll go check if it's safe first," Xiaobai said, and the next second he teleported beneath the sea surface.
Five minutes later, Xiaobai teleported back to the bird's head.
"It's not a palace, it's a luxurious mausoleum, and it says..." Xiaobai hesitated, unwilling to speak.
"What exactly is written? Can you stop stammering like this?" Yu Shan said impatiently. The pregnant woman was already emotionally unstable, let alone now that her son was missing.
"The Tomb of the Feather Fan!" Xiaobai said solemnly.
