The words spoken by the crystal skull were rather strange and specious, but there were many hidden metaphors. Coupled with the current environment, it really made one's hair stand on end.
Blackie then took out a lot of things from his personal space to sacrifice, including a bloody heart, three fingers, and a large shriveled spider wrapped in black hair …
The crystal skull quickly flew over. After touching one of the sacrifices, the sacrifice turned into black smoke, then hovered in the air and didn't dissipate.
When the last offering was sacrificed, the black smoke in the air actually formed into an aged face, which spoke in a drawn-out voice.
"I already know your wishes."
"Get on the ship in front of you, then enter the water, and you will reach the place of your hope."
"To successfully launch this ship, you must meet 3 conditions. Follow my Dim Light Worm, and you will naturally get what you want."
After that, the black smoke dissipated in an instant, leaving only a little light cluster floating in the air like a will-o '-the-wisp. When someone approached it, it would slowly drift away. It should be the so-called Dim Light Worm.
Old Black followed the Dim Light Worm. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, the Dim Light Worm directly floated into a utility room at the side, then stopped moving.
Old Black walked over and found a corpse on the ground. It had already turned into white bones, but the clothes on the body were still intact. The Dim Light Worm stopped at the waist of the corpse. Looking carefully, one could see a bunch of keys there.
Gors stepped forward, picked up the keys, then observed the corpse and said:
"The corpse's posture is very strange. Left hand is bent and placed on the chest, right hand seems to be reaching into the pocket to take something out. Oh, I saw the aspirin in his pocket."
"The cause of death of this person is very obvious. He should have encountered something unexpected at the time, so probably due to mental stress or excessive exercise, it caused a myocardial infarction. He struggled to escape here and couldn't hold on. His left hand instinctively pressed on the chest to relieve the pain, and his right hand went to get medicine."
"But it seems that his condition is quite critical, so he couldn't move until he took the medicine."
"Well, the probability of a young person suffering from myocardial infarction and dying is very small, so the deceased is most likely a middle-aged man. Such a man should already have a certain say in the work."
At this time, the Dim Light Worm had already flown away …
About 10 minutes later, the Dim Light Worm completely disappeared. Gors had completely understood:
"I got it. The key to completing the mission is to repair this submarine first, then take it to the bottom of this underground lake. That's where we complete the hidden main mission."
"The Dim Light Worm took us to these 3 key elements. The first is the key that can activate the submarine's diving function, the second is the submarine's operating manual, and the third is the repair workshop that can repair the submarine."
"However, it's not enough to just have maintenance tools and machines. Who among our people is better at this?"
Canna:
"Rashid is very good at it, but they should be dealing with Max and the others right now."
Gors glared at him:
"What are you talking."
Koi said in the team channel at this time,
"Let me try … We have to hurry up. Don't forget that someone is one step ahead!"

Darkness,
It was so dark that one couldn't even see his fingers.
Fang Linyan and Goat were sailing in this underground lake. Listening to the monotonous engine sound and the splashing water separated by the bow of the boat, they actually had the illusion that the boat was strangely motionless.
This was mainly because of the lack of reference in the underground lake. The glowing moss didn't seem to grow here.
Fortunately, the arrow on the retina always pointed straight ahead.
After holding it in for a long time, Goat suddenly whispered:
"Why don't we turn on the lights? This place is so dark that I'm a little flustered. What if we hit a reef?"
Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"No, we have to wait a little longer. That female sniper is really powerful. She hit us directly just now. I don't know if the shell is damaged."
"Now we should try to avoid risks as much as possible. Our power is only replenished by 37%, and the fuel is only replenished by 72%, so it's best to turn on the lights after diving."
Having said that, Fang Linyan said to Goat,
"Come, you take care of the sonar system. Once there is an abnormality, tell me. I want to study the manual and see the operation when diving."
Goat said with some worry,
"Do you have any experience in driving a submersible before?"
Fang Linyan rolled his eyes and said,
"I don't think many people have this kind of experience! But everything is similar. I have a talent for machinery, so it's easy to get started! "
Goat swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Obviously, the psychological pressure was quite great. Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Relax. Back then, the quality of the submersible produced by the Blood Umbrella Company was very good. When I was inspecting it, I roughly looked at it and made special reinforcements everywhere. It's probably because the people sent in to explore were all professionals. It's not easy to train them, so they were very concerned about their safety."
"Moreover, the water level of this underground lake is 20 meters lower than its heyday, which means that the depth we have to dive is much smaller than at that time. Our physique is also much stronger than ordinary people, so even if there is a risk, the risk will not be too high."
After being comforted by Fang Linyan, Goat finally felt a little better and began to focus on driving. But after only 2 minutes, Goat said in surprise,
"Boss … boss!! It seems that we are here. "
Fang Linyan took a closer look and found that the arrow on his retina was pointing directly below, so he stepped forward and changed the forward gear to the neutral position, then he said,
"Okay, I probably know what to do."
Then he began to press the buttons on it. The entire submersible shook slightly, and 2 baffles on the left and right sides began to slide out, swallowing a large amount of lake water.
The weight of the submersible increased rapidly, then it began to sink slowly. In an instant, it completely submerged into the deep lake below.
There was a clear signal next to Fang Linyan, which could show the depth of diving. When this depth reached 10 meters, he turned on the underwater searchlight. The bright light beam quickly illuminated the nearby situation.
It could be seen that in the nearby water, there were obvious traces of boulders rolling down, and the creatures in the water seemed to be very rare. There were only some small blind fish and primary algae.
But after reaching a certain depth, some glowing algae began to appear underwater, so even if the underwater searchlight did not reach, there was still a faint glimmer.
At this time, Goat's mood became heavier and heavier. Perhaps because he had claustrophobia, he couldn't help but say,
"How long will it take for us to reach our destination, boss?"
Fang Linyan controlled the submersible while searching with his eyes wide open,
"It should be soon. Relax, we are very safe now, unless …"
Goat said,
"Unless what?"
Fang Linyan said,
"Unless that damn interference wave appears again. You know, our electronic components are now in the on state, and we have lost the barrier of the protective coating, so there will probably be big trouble, but I don't think it should be so fragile."
After Goat heard this, he took a deep breath, grabbed the armrest of the seat next to him tightly, looking restless.
When the depth of the submersible reached about 70 to 80 meters, Fang Linyan suddenly took a breath and hurriedly accelerated the speed of the submersible.
Immediately afterward, a shocking scene appeared in front of the 2 under the illumination of the underwater searchlight.
They saw that the underwater rocks below showed a strange chapped pattern. The ridge shape of more than 100 meters long was raised. It looked like a turtle's back was squeezed out from the bottom of this deep, dark, and quiet lake.
Not only that, but on this underwater highland, there was an extremely vigorous growth of life. A large number of luminous fish swam around, and below, there were long and slender aquatic plants that were as long as hair, wriggling under the water like giant snakes.
There were also giant taro with a leaf area comparable to the size of a bus, and shellfish the size of a bathtub.
If the rest of the underground lake was regarded as a desert with a harsh climate, then this highland was an oasis with exuberant vitality.
At this time, as long as one was a normal person, they knew that there must be a big problem with this underwater highland.
At this moment, a hermit crab like creature came out abruptly from the sand below. It had a shell on its back. It squeezed the water with its body cavity and moved quickly by spraying it. Its speed was amazing. Wherever it passed, a white mark was drawn under the water.
This crustacean creature pounced straight at a luminous fish, but the fish seemed to escape its clutches with a dexterous turn.
However, just when Fang Linyan thought that it would miss, the right claw of the crustacean creature actually shot out more than 1 meter away. It was connected to a white ligament at the back, clamping the abdomen of the fish fiercely. Blood immediately flowed out.
The fish was in pain. It burst out with an amazing speed and began to swim quickly in the water, dragging the crustacean creature at the bottom of the water at high speed.
A shocking scene appeared. Fang Linyan found that the shell of this crustacean creature was surprisingly hard. When it hit an underwater rock, it actually cracked the rock, and it was safe and sound.
Not only that, after this collision, a part of the parasitic algae on its shell was wiped off, revealing the silver-white metal base color below.
