"Yeah, I don't want to hit that thing a second time, it's just too disgusting!"
Lei Jijian couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Indeed, the entire sword was stuck in the breathing hole of this scabies worm. How could it not be disgusting?
However, getting directly into the shallow layers right now probably won't be easy.
After looking the puddle of water over from left to right, Lei Jijian carefully circled it once more.
"Master, there's something wrong with this water! The light spots are far away from us, they're obviously hiding from us! The Death Ray runs faster than a rabbit!"
Immediately, the lightning sword shook its hilt, trying its best to feel the impact.
"I can't feel the slightest trace of the shallow water now."
Hearing this, I was even more shocked.
Even someone with such powerful sensory abilities as Lei Jijian couldn't detect anything nearby, which means it must be very far away!
I began to stare intently at the spot of light. Every time I locked onto the bright spot, it would shift slightly to the side.
Otherwise, you'll only realize it's just ordinary water reflection when you swim over.
Or perhaps it's blocked by nearby seaweed or rocks.
At this moment, Yiyi also squatted down, poked the sand next to the orange coral with her finger, and then slowly scooped up a handful of water to observe it.
"Brother, if we can't find a fixed refraction point, we might not be able to escape from here."
Her voice was icy, which chilled me to the bone.
Good heavens, the exit we finally found turned out to be fake.
After about fifteen minutes, the sun's position had begun to gradually shift.
The light that had just been able to penetrate suddenly became scarce at this moment.
You could even say that if I hadn't stayed here for so long, I would have thought this was the deep sea.
The only saving grace was that it didn't attract those behemoths.
That thing is what gives me an even bigger headache.
By this time, the few spots of light on the water had become more scattered, and even the brightest spot when we first arrived had begun to dim.
Yiyi's lips were no longer as glossy as before; instead, they were slightly pale, and her face showed signs of fatigue.
I ended up next to a coral reef, and it was really uncomfortable.
Neither my wrist guards nor my lightning sword seem to be able to solve this problem.
Are we lost?!
If the light source doesn't reappear and we don't find a reliable exit, we'll probably be stuck in even deeper waters.
Even if there are no unstable factors, it's like being imprisoned here, right?
Or, what if we encounter an unstable factor?
If I had known this would happen, I should have asked him a lot of questions before I finally defeated him when I met him the second time!
Thinking about this, I started to feel increasingly irritable.
This feeling comes from aimless repression.
I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly a rustling sound came from the sand behind me, growing louder as it approached.
At this moment, I've already come up with a solution: at worst, I'll just go in one direction!
Although I'm not very perceptive, I could tell that it wasn't the loose sound of waves crashing against the shore, nor was it the sound of flowing water.
It was the sound of shoes grinding through the sand.
Moreover, it was a very calm and composed gait.
Each step seemed to land with a resounding thud, as if stepping on a stone.
First, it's slow and gentle, then gradually speeds up, and step by step, it gets heavier.
I don't know if it was because there were too few people for too long, but almost at the same time, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.
There was almost no time difference. I looked back, already prepared to relay a message to Lei Jijian.
Here we go again?
At this moment, Lei Jijian was even faster than me. Sensing this movement, as soon as I turned my head, I heard the signal that Lei Jijian had already sent to me in my mind.
"Master, be careful, this person has a very familiar fishy smell."
I was briefly startled, and then asked in a serious tone.
"A fishy smell? Could this thing be a sea scabies mites?!"
"No, it's not sea scabies. If that's disgusting, then it's the smell of someone who's been soaking in water for years!"
Yiyi reacted quickly. She stood up instantly, gave me a wink, and I could see her hand reach behind her and slowly pull out half a conch shell.
This is not the previous conch shell, but a relatively poor-quality one that looks rather ordinary.
However, this one is shaped like a blade, probably something Yi-Yi used for self-defense.
Then, she leaned her body slightly towards me, forming a very classic defensive posture.
Is this a passerby?
We've been here for so long, and all we've seen are small fish and shrimp. In my weariness just now, I think a seahorse swam by.
I've never seen a living person before.
Although this is a relatively deep area of the sea, I can accept the presence of passersby.
But I only saw this one in half a day, so I had to pull myself together!
As the man drew closer, Yiyi noticed that his voice was low and slightly tense, but his tone was very calm.
"Brother, don't make any rash moves. This person's steps are very steady; he can't be a stranger."
I have the same thought. Passersby are probably rushing around in a hurry, or they have a specific purpose in mind.
As for this person's gait, if it weren't for this scene, I would suspect that he was walking a catwalk.
I glanced at Yiyi's ankles beside me, and it was clear that she was in a rather tense state.
I could see that she was trembling slightly, as if she were ready to face any crisis at any moment.
As the footsteps drew closer, I began to see the person more clearly.
The man slowly walked over from behind the rocks in the distance. Judging from his appearance, he was about 30 years old.
The short jacket the man was wearing was not made of ordinary fabric; you could only see the slightly waterproof texture on it if you looked closely.
Although the coat was somewhat short, the collar was unusually high, resembling the style of Western aristocrats.
However, the slight wavy fabric at the hem of the garment shimmered with a bright light in this otherwise dark place.
His hair was very long, almost long enough to be tied up, at least for a man.
A few stray strands of hair, disheveled and falling from her forehead, slightly covered her eyebrows.
What stands out are the hands hanging by the sides. The fingers are distinct with thick calluses, and the hand holds a smooth, black cane.
Looking further down, my pupils suddenly contracted. This guy's lower body was also made of waterproof fabric, and the water at his feet was actually avoiding him!
