Ten hours ago, the Shadow Wings on Zhang Heng's back had disappeared, and several half-man, half-rain frog monsters were hanging on his body.
After that, Zhang Heng's body fell back into the sea under the influence of gravity.
His arrival had also made the monsters below go crazy. It was like the signal to start a carnival, and all the monsters rushed up to him like crazy. In less than half a second, not only was Zhang Heng's vision blocked, but his arms, chest, back, legs … were also covered with monsters.
The monsters behind him arrived too late, and they had no place to hang on to. They could only lie on their companions, and Zhang Heng was eventually wrapped up by layers of monsters.
In this case, even if Zhang Heng took out Betty's shell, it would be useless because the two sides were too close.
But to Zhang Heng's surprise, the monsters did not immediately attack him after they jumped on him. On the contrary, they carefully retracted their teeth and nails as if they were afraid of accidentally hurting him.
At the same time, they brought Zhang Heng all the way down.
Zhang Heng could not see his diving computer now, but he could feel that their depth had been falling rapidly.
At the same time, Zhang Heng silently estimated the remaining amount of compressed air in the gas cylinder. There were only a few bars left, and this amount of air could only last him for two more minutes at most.
Even if he counted the time he had to hold his breath, the situation had become very bad.
Even with Zhang Heng's usual calmness, he had to admit that his chances of turning the tables this time were slim.
After another minute and a half, Zhang Heng clearly felt that breathing had become a little difficult. At this time, even if the monsters let him go, the remaining air was not enough for him to swim back to the surface.
But at this time, Zhang Heng completely calmed down.
He relaxed his body, no longer struggled, and let the monsters take him to an unknown distance.
After about half a minute, Zhang Heng found that he finally stopped. At the same time, the number of monsters on him seemed to be decreasing.
When the monster that blocked his vision also swam away, Zhang Heng saw the familiar scene again.
He was now back in the underwater palace again.
But unlike when he came here, he was now leaning against the dome in the center of the palace. Not far away were the two empty thrones, and behind him was the huge stone carving that looked like an astrolabe.
The group of monsters that brought him here had already retreated to the side.
A little further down, they looked up at him. However, it seemed that they were afraid that he would escape. Judging from their positions, they still surrounded him.
However, Zhang Heng felt that they were overthinking because his diving computer was ringing like crazy.
The compressed air in the cylinder had been completely exhausted.
In other words, Zhang Heng could not go anywhere now. He could only stay in this huge underwater palace and wait for his death.
The good news was that at least his death was quite lively. There were many … monsters watching him. The bad news was that until the last moment of his life, Zhang Heng did not get to see the real masters of this place, the two guys on the thrones.
Zhang Heng suspected that at least one of them had something to do with his previous encounter in the hazy seaside town.
However, none of this mattered now.
Due to the lack of oxygen, Zhang Heng's consciousness began to blur. He took one last look at the huge astrological chart behind him. He wasn't sure if it was a hallucination before he died, but he could feel the astrological chart spinning slowly.
Zhang Heng wanted to continue watching, but his body did not allow him to do so. So, he used the last bit of his strength to remove the respirator in his mouth and closed his eyes.
The next moment, Zhang Heng felt like he had returned to his mother's womb.
It was a feeling of incomparable peace and security.
He no longer needed to breathe through his nose and mouth. It was as if an invisible line connected him to the sea, and the entire sea had become his placenta.
Zhang Heng even had an illusion that compared to land, the sea was his real home.
The blue sea gently wrapped him, and every pore on his body was stretched out in the water.
He even forgot the passage of time.
Zhang Heng originally thought that this was the last illusion of his life when his brain was suffering from extreme oxygen deprivation. It was said that all life on Earth originated from the sea, and human beings were no exception. So when death came, it might be reasonable for the soul to return to its starting place.
But when Zhang Heng opened his eyes again, he found that he did not enter heaven, nor did he fall into hell. He was still in this underwater palace.
The only difference was that the strong sense of suffocation caused by the lack of oxygen had disappeared, and it was replaced by the wonderful feeling of fetal breathing.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a while and took off the mask on his head. As a result, his eyes did not feel any irritation or discomfort.
Zhang Heng noticed that the half-man, half-fish-frog monsters nearby also showed a touch of joy on their faces when they saw him open his eyes again.
However, they did not make way for Zhang Heng. Instead, they still formed a circle with Zhang Heng in the center.
At the same time, the star chart on the dome was still moving slowly. It was very different from when Zhang Heng first came to this underwater palace.
Zhang Heng vaguely sensed that the changes in his body might have something to do with the astrological chart that was rotating behind him. It stood to reason that the astrological chart gave him the ability to breathe and move underwater. Zhang Heng should wait for it to finish rotating.
But a warning sign appeared in Zhang Heng's heart.
If he really waited for the star chart to stop, then it was very likely that something bad would happen.
So Zhang Heng made a prompt decision and decided to leave this underwater palace.
He took out Betty's Shell from his pocket. He had never found a chance to use this item before, but now, it finally came in handy.
Soon, the calm sea became violent. On the other side of the hotel, Han Lu received a notice from the front desk, telling her that there was likely to be a rainstorm tonight, and she was asked to close the doors and windows.
The original function of Betty's Shell was to consume Wrath to create a storm at sea. However, no matter how powerful the storm was, as the depth of the sea increased, its energy would quickly weaken until it disappeared.
But this time, when Zhang Heng used Betty's Shell again, he found that he did not need to provide much Wrath at all. And the range of its effect had also expanded from the sea to the bottom of the sea.
Zhang Heng could even direct the sea currents to blow away several nearby half-man, half-fish-frog monsters. A gap appeared in the originally tight encirclement, and Zhang Heng did not miss this opportunity. He directly rushed out with the help of the current.
