Chapter 112
The Abyss of Darkness Opens
Chen Baicha nodded and quickly put their respective tents back into their backpacks with Zhao Lei.
half an hour later
"There's been a change." Chen Baicha calculated the time: "This time the interval between vibrations is shorter, and the vibration lasted for half a minute."
Huo Yunzhi summoned the Crimson Lotus Firearm and went outside the camp to use her Qi Sea Perception to scan the surrounding area for miles again and again.
"The Abyss of Darkness should open soon, and players with treasure hunting items are probably already nearby. Stay alert."
Using her sea of qi vision, Huo Yunzhi quickly spotted a missile flying out from the seabed, making a turn in mid-air, and accurately hitting a speedboat on the sea surface.
The players on the speedboat were instantly blown to pieces, along with the boat.
However, the submarine's joy was short-lived, as it began to rise uncontrollably to the surface.
A large number of reefs that appeared out of nowhere pushed the submarine out of the water.
Once the submarine leaves the surface, it becomes a sitting duck, and all sorts of attacks rain down on it without mercy. In less than half a minute, the submarine is reduced to pieces.
"We worked so hard to build a raft, and they actually got a speedboat and a submarine?!"
After Huo Yunzhi told Chen Baicha and Zhao Lei what had happened at sea, Chen Baicha let out a jealous shout.
Perhaps having learned from the experience with speedboats and submarines, no vehicles appeared on the sea surface for the next 20 minutes, even as the vibrations on the island increased in frequency.
Until the strange phenomena on the island suddenly appeared.
A crack appeared on the cliff face, and within a few breaths, it quickly spread to the other side of the island, and the crack continued to widen.
High in the sky, rolling thunderclouds slammed down countless bolts of lightning, causing rocks to tumble down and vegetation to burn on the island.
By the light of the blazing fire, Huo Yunzhi saw that the entire island had been split in two by cracks, and a bottomless whirlpool had appeared in the very center of the island.
In an instant, a seven-colored rainbow shot into the sky, instantly dispersing the thunderclouds and tearing a huge hole in the sky. The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.
A surge of energy erupted from the rainbow light, transforming into countless fire dragons that spiraled upwards, clearly visible from thousands of miles away.
"The Abyss of Darkness has opened!"
Zhao Lei shouted and started coughing incessantly.
"We're not going into some kind of cultivation dungeon, are we?" Chen Baicha muttered. "Even if someone flies over my head on a sword in a minute, I won't be surprised."
As soon as Chen Baicha finished speaking, a man in a green robe rode a flying sword and swept across the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Chen Baicha: ...
With this person taking the lead, the originally calm sea surface instantly became lively.
Riding on flying carpets, riding broomsticks, paddling canoes, freestyle...
Players who had been lurking nearby all sprang into action, rushing headlong towards the whirlpool in the center of the island.
"There are so many people around."
"Luckily we arrived early."
Listening to the two people beside her share their thoughts, Huo Yunzhi took out the safe zone she had cut out and enveloped the three of them.
"Let's go in too."
When the three arrived at the edge, nearly thirty players had already gathered at the vortex.
Of course, bodies found in the sea are not included.
"It seems that those who remain are all quite capable."
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a shirt.
Huo Yunzhi looked at the bloodstains on his cuffs and labeled him as someone who was difficult to get along with.
"Since everyone's strength is about the same, it's not worth fighting to the death here. I propose we all go into the Abyss together, and split the treasure inside equally after we come out. What do you think?"
"Uncle, that's a great suggestion," a girl with a single braid on one side chimed in. "But I have an even better suggestion~"
"What suggestion?"
"If we all team up and take you down first, then we can all get a bigger share."
"What you say makes sense," the woman in the red dress immediately chimed in. "I'd be very willing to cooperate with you, but before that, we need to settle the score for you killing my teammate."
"Hehe, me too. You almost killed me just now, sister."
The little girl in Lolita fashion stared at the woman in the red dress with a sinister smile.
"Sure, as long as you're quick enough."
"Of course!"
Zhao Lei awkwardly covered his mouth and whispered to Chen Baicha, "I've figured it out, there's not a single normal person here."
"It's fine to talk about yourself, but don't drag us into it."
"You!...cough cough cough!"
"Enough!" the man in blue robes who had just arrived on his sword roared, "There's no point in saying more. I'll count to three, and we'll all go in together. Each of us will rely on our own abilities to take the treasure! Three, two—"
Before the man in the blue robe could even utter the word "one," more than half of the people had already rushed into the vortex.
"Damn it, I've become an honest man!" the man in the blue robe cursed viciously, then piloted his flying sword and plunged headlong into the vortex.
Huo Yunzhi, Chen Baicha, and Zhao Lei exchanged a glance and then stepped into the vortex.
The moment Huo Yunzhi came into contact with the seven-colored rainbow light above the vortex, she felt as if her five senses had been stripped away, and even opening her Qi Sea to perceive was of no use.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she felt her five senses gradually returning.
Huo Yunzhi then realized that she was standing in front of a magnificent Chinese palace complex.
"Are we at the bottom of the sea? And we can breathe freely?"
Huo Yunzhi touched the surrounding seawater to make sure she could breathe freely, and then began to observe the palace in front of her.
The entrance gate of this palace complex alone is hundreds of meters high, with a row of jade pillars carved with five-clawed golden dragons standing on both sides, seemingly shimmering with spiritual light.
The palace walls and eaves are so magnificent and resplendent that they make you want to take a knife and scrape off a few layers of gold dust.
"That's so extravagant."
Huo Yunzhi sighed, then started walking into the palace complex while opening a temporary group chat.
[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: Where are you guys?
A few minutes later, Chen Baicha was the first to reply.
[Chenpi Baicha Quan Affirms]: The exact location is unclear; it seems impossible to use coordinate marking functions for this place. However, I suspect we've arrived at the Dragon Palace!
Chen Baicha sent several photos in succession. The buildings in the photos were the same as those Huo Yunzhi had just seen, with five-clawed dragons of various styles tattooed on them.
Zhao Lei also suddenly appeared at this moment.
[The Jianwen Emperor on the run]: It's about the same for me. [Image][Image][Image]
[Crayon Shin-chan Eyes]: It looks like I'll be randomly teleported after entering the Abyss. I'm at the entrance, I'll come find you now.
[Emperor Jianwen on the run]: Alright, I will try my best not to leave this area.
[Affirming the use of aged tangerine peel and white tea]: Me too.
Huo Yunzhi saved a picture of the two people's location, then closed the group chat and stepped through the door.
