Chapter 136 133. Underwater
In the deep water, a team of five diving Pujis are diving cautiously.
The team suddenly changed direction and swam sideways for dozens of meters before continuing downwards.
Just now, there was a big fish that was almost completely transparent in front of the Pujis, but it was completely exposed under the [sound wave detection].
After continuous exploration, they soon discovered another strange fish with a mouthpart that could extend more than 30 meters in length in the distance.
A diving Puji used [Infrasonic Attack], which couldn't cause enough damage to the strange fish, but it made it feel uncomfortable!
Sure enough, the strange fish turned around and swam to another place.
And when a huge jellyfish caught up with Puji's team and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
The last Puji broke away from the group and rushed towards the jellyfish behind.
Boom——
After a muffled sound, the particles shattered everywhere, and a big hole appeared on the jellyfish's body, making it unable to move.
It's self-destruction!
Lin Jun added self-explosion!
This is already the third batch of diving.
After the first batch was wiped out, Lin Jun decided to add the [Self-Destruct] skill after learning from the painful experience.
As expected, Puji couldn't escape the fate of self-explosion.
Lin Jun also used this skill from LV5 to LV6, making it even more powerful.
The seventh floor was a little trickier than Lin Jun had imagined. The most difficult part was the appearance of giant monsters.
Maybe it's easier to grow bigger in deep water?
A giant monster means that at the same level, it has higher attributes and more health.
The specific situation was just like the earthworms at the beginning. Two earthworms less than LV50 wiped out Lin Jun's expeditionary force.
If it were a spider or a minotaur of the same level, it would have been defeated long ago.
The same is true for the giant underwater monsters on the seventh floor. The Pujis’ combat power in water is already weak.
Although it's not to the point of being unable to win, fighting to the death is a thankless task.
Lin Jun just wanted to explore all the waters, so he would naturally avoid them if possible.
Fortunately, monsters are still monsters, and their habits and attack patterns follow certain rules.
After three rounds of trial and error, Lin Jun almost finished carrying the board.
Finally, the four Pujis successfully reached the bottom floor covered with sand and ruins.
Maybe there are many places to hide on the bottom floor, and giant monsters usually don't come down, so it's very safe...
A pair of pincers shot out from the sand at the bottom of the water and grasped the tail of a diving fish.
[Subsonic Attack LV6] X4
The attack ignored defense and was extremely effective against the crab monster in front of him that relied solely on its shell for defense.
Its internal parts were shattered directly, and the pincers that were holding Puji naturally loosened.
Also killed were two other crab monsters hiding in the sand that had not yet taken action.
The injured Puji had a cut on his waist, making it difficult for him to move, and only a trace of blood was left.
Perfect for clearing the way!
The low-health Puji was swimming hard in front, while the three intact Pujis were following slowly behind.
This time, Lin Jun made the diving fish float up and keep a distance of five or six meters from the bottom sand bed, so that they would not be afraid of sneak attacks by crabs.
The bottom floor was indeed a refuge for small monsters. In just a short while, Lin Jun saw four or five types of monsters that he had never seen before.
These small monsters hide in the wreckage of the ruins or in the sand like the crab monster.
None of them are strong, and they don't even dare to attack when they see Puji in groups.
As he swam along, Lin Jun looked at the ruins of these stone buildings and kept wondering what this area was before?
Residential area?
No, although these stone pillar buildings have collapsed and are dilapidated, one can still vaguely see that they must have been magnificent buildings in the past. The residential houses should be smaller.
But if it is a large place like a temple, a meeting hall, or a palace, everything in front of you seems too plain.
There are no superfluous decorations and no statues representing any gods or people.
Lin Jun felt that this place was a bit too "clean".
According to my impression, shouldn't there be some rusty iron objects, treasure chests and the like at places like underwater ruins and shipwrecks?
And here there is nothing but stone.
Human adventurer?
This speculation was rejected by Lin Jun as soon as it came out.
It’s not that humans can’t come here, but the difficulty is obviously not the same as just fishing in the upper layer.
It is so difficult that every time you come down you must pick up the good stuff. It is impossible for you to pick it up so cleanly.
There is a high probability that there is no treasure here...
The exploration lasted for nearly two hours, but we didn't encounter any particularly fatal danger. The low-health Puji hasn't been consumed yet!
Although there was nothing special to gain, Lin Jun had not yet found any signs of cracks.
Is that good news?
While Lin Jun was distracted, a diving fish swam across a patch of water plants and got caught on an inconspicuous hook on its scales.
The hook was pulled by Puji, and the next second the water grass attached to the hook was quickly pulled back, taking Puji down with it.
A sharp stone pillar pierced through the hooked Puji and sent him to Puxing on the spot.
Lin Jun quickly stopped the remaining 2.5 Pujis and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Only then did I realize that there was more than one hook. Many parts of the seaweed were connected to hooks, and the hooks were tied on instead of growing naturally.
At the bottom of the seaweed connected to the hook is a primitive yet ingenious mechanism, which is used to pull back the prey caught by the hook, and finally kill it with these sharp stone pillars specially placed at the bottom.
Lin Jun saw some water monsters also strung on the stone pillars.
Obviously this is a trap set by intelligent creatures.
Wow, there are intelligent creatures on the seventh floor!
Mermaid?
It doesn't feel right. If it's mermaids, shouldn't they go to the upper level and sing to trick adventurers? Isn't that life a bit too miserable to catch fish and shrimp to eat at the bottom level?
Control the diving Pujis to explore more carefully and meticulously.
Half an hour later, Puji and his friends did not find any intelligent creatures, but they did find a switch that could be turned on the stone wall of a relic!
Underwater treasure chest room?
The two Pujis worked together to turn the switch, and with a muffled "rumbling" sound, a slanting downward passage appeared.
This doesn't feel like a treasure chest room...
Lin Jun had seen treasure chest rooms before. They were all simple and exquisite single rooms with a treasure chest placed in the middle.
Rather than being a treasure room, this one looks more like a passage leading to a new area.
Without much hesitation, Lin Jun directly let 2.5 Puji swim in. They were used to do this.
In the passage, Lin Jun saw grooves on both sides for lighting crystals, and even in one of the grooves he saw a crystal wreckage that had been scrapped for who knows how long.
There were quite a few symmetrical forks along the way, but there were only a few Pujis now, and there was no point in splitting up, so Lin Jun simply walked in straight line.
At the end of this road is a hall.
At the feet of the huge headless stone statue with tentacles, three stone plates stand side by side, and on the walls on both sides, there are some murals carved whose contents can no longer be distinguished.
There are some mottled murals on the stone walls on both sides, but unfortunately they have been eroded by time and the content is difficult to recognize.
So, this is a temple?
At the same time, [Sound Wave Detection] detected some living creatures gathering around the hall...
