The underwater cleanup project was being carried out. As the commissioner of the investigation team, Nicai wore a blue underwater combat suit and stuck to her post.
The greatest fear that the sea brought to humans was not the pressure of the water, but the silence.
The light was dim. Due to the resistance, everything that humans did seemed to be in slow motion. The surroundings were silent, as if they were locked in a sealed box. They had to get rid of the damned silence and depression at every moment, but they were surrounded by the ever-present cold seawater.
Large tracts of seaweed stretched out their long arms like demons and ghosts. All kinds of strange-looking fish shook their fins and tails, secretly observing the group of land creatures that had intruded into their world.
There was a glowing crystal embedded at the top of Nicai's helmet. Wherever she looked, the light would follow her shadow. However, the places where the light couldn't reach were still shrouded in darkness. It made people wonder if there were some terrifying and aggressive creatures hiding in the darkness.
"Damn it, the sand suction pipe is stuck." The voice of his comrade came from the communication crystal.
"Don't be nervous, I'm right behind you." Nicai said.
The goddess's voice was sexy and magnetic, giving his comrade a sense of closeness and security. He tried his best to twist the sand suction pipe, trying to pull out the stuck pipe in front of the goddess. He wanted to show off his manliness as if he was pulling up a thick tree with his hands.
Although everyone knew that the goddess would marry either Dongfang He or Jia Yuntian in the future, and only the chosen one was worthy of the most perfect goddess, his companions still couldn't help but harbor a trace of fantasy in their hearts. There were definitely many people like him who lived in fantasies but never dared to say what was in their hearts.
Nicai moved her slender legs like a nimble fish and appeared on his comrade's right side.
The sand suction pipe was stuck in a gap between a few rocks. Nicai reached out and tried to pull it out, but the metal pipe seemed to be bitten by a monster and did not move at all.
"Little Cai, are you okay? Do you want me to go down and help you? "The voice of his father, Ni Ziru, came from the communication crystal.
"No need. It's just that the hose is stuck in a rock. I can use the divine wings to push the surrounding rocks away." Nicai said.
Assisting and protecting was Nicai's job. Her ability was very good at helping her comrade, which was why her father temporarily added her to the investigation team.
The reason why the Ni family was so famous was because of their inherited light-type superpower, and Nicai was one of the few mutants in the family. Her divine light could materialize and have a physical form, like the wings of a butterfly. It could carry her high up into the sky, and it could also wrap her up like a cocoon and protect her.
"I understand. Don't force yourself." His father said gently. Nicai was the pride of the family. Ni Ziru did not want her to be hurt at all under any circumstances.
"Take a step back, I'm going to use the Divine Wings. If the impact is too strong, you'll be knocked down," Nicai said to his partner.
"Alright, alright. Thank you for your hard work." His companion hurriedly retreated fifty meters away. To him, any instruction from Nicai was no less than an imperial edict.
As Nicai raised her arms, the magical colorful wings appeared on her back. It was dazzling and dreamy. All the busy soldiers stopped what they were doing and looked over.
As Nicai raised her arms, a mystical seven-colored pair of wings appeared on her back. It was dazzling and dream-like, causing all the busy warriors to involuntarily stop what they were doing and look over.
"It's so beautiful …"
"It's like a butterfly's wings!"
"It'll be worth it even if I die under those beautiful wings." The soldiers were infatuated.
Swoosh!
The wings were like thin blades, easily inserted into the gap between the rocks.
Nicai waved her wrists and spread her wings again. The ground trembled slightly. The rocks that were stuck in the hose were slowly pushed away. As the huge rocks separated, the hose started working again. The mud and sand were sucked into the hose and discharged 500 meters away.
"We did it! It's the divine wings indeed. It's like God is helping us! "his comrade shouted excitedly.
However, as soon as his comrade finished speaking, the quiet world under the sea suddenly shook violently. It was like an earthquake had happened. The shaking tore the ground and created a gap. The seawater poured into the gap and formed a whirlpool.
In just 0.01 seconds, the whirlpool reached a hundred meters into the sea. The white bubbles spun like a tornado. People could see Nicai's body in the whirlpool.
"Oh no! The seabed is collapsing! "someone shouted.
Her body sank involuntarily. Out of instinct, Nicai used the divine wings to protect her body as a second layer of armor.
However, even though the divine wings protected her, they couldn't resist the strong and strange suction force. It was like a monster had grabbed Nicai's legs and was dragging her into the endless darkness.
Suddenly, a deep well with a diameter of two meters appeared in the collapsed seabed. It was dark and bottomless.
The colorful light flashed in the seawater and then fell. The rocks, seaweed, and humans around were also pulled in.
Rumble!
The entrance of the deep well collapsed a second time. Countless rocks fell into the well. More and more rocks fell into the well. It was like a collapsing mountain. In a few seconds, the entrance was completely buried.
The soldiers got up from their fear and looked around. The dark sea splashed up a lot of sand. The broken seaweed slowly floated to the surface. Nicai and her magical wings were nowhere to be seen.
.....
The frantic rescue work lasted from noon until nightfall. All the soldiers seemed to have gone crazy. They used sand suckers and all the tools they could use. They even dug with their bare hands.
Nicai was not only the goddess of Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian. She was also the idol of all the young soldiers in Hidden Demon City. When they heard that Nicai had been sucked underground, the soldiers' eyes were bloodshot. Even nine bulls couldn't stop them. They threw themselves into the rescue work.
The so-called goddess was the kind of existence that you knew very well that you would never be able to obtain, but as long as you saw that she was living happily, you would feel very at ease. Obviously, she had nothing to do with you, but when you knew that the goddess was in trouble, you still couldn't help but feel sour in your eyes.
On the ship, the temporary command center of the investigation team.
The model was made by the engineering experts and placed on the table.
"We must ask the underwater team to stop the large-scale excavation immediately!" said the chubby, seemingly experienced engineer.
"Stop? Why!? Nicai is still trapped underground. Do you want to kill her!? "Ni Ziru shouted like a mad lion.
"No, it's the opposite. We want to save Nicai. That's why we need to stop digging!" The engineer pointed at the model on the table. "We've checked. The structure of the Demon Palace and the shaft corresponds to the Hidden Palace. It's a very special architectural form of the Demon Race."
"You better say something I can understand." Ni Ziru gritted his teeth.
"Hey! Simply put, this Demon Palace is a trap! Once the foundation of the building is shaken, or the mechanism is triggered, the entire Demon Palace will self-destruct! "The engineer said in a louder voice than Ni Ziru.
Phew!
Everyone took a deep breath. They had all heard of self-destructing buildings. The Thirteen Demon Kings liked to build on a large scale, but at the same time, they were very cunning. There were real Demon Palaces, and there were fake ones. Some were safe, and some were full of traps. They were all built to prevent war and human invasion.
The Demon Palace under the sea was built on human territory. It was equivalent to building a palace in enemy territory. It was reasonable to add a self-destructing structure to prevent the Demon Palace from being attacked by humans.
But to avoid triggering the mechanism and causing the Demon Palace to self-destruct, if they stopped digging, what would happen to Nicai?
If they dug, the Demon Palace might self-destruct. If they didn't dig, Nicai would be trapped and in danger. It was a difficult decision.
Seeing that Ni Ziru's face had turned green, a middle-aged soldier suddenly pushed open the door of the command room. His face was stern as he placed a communication crystal on the table.
