Zhou Wen couldn't help but feel regretful when he saw a large number of white bat corpses land on the tunnel behind him. There were even some crystals among them.
The strange vehicle kept advancing. He didn't know what would happen if he left the strange vehicle, so it wasn't appropriate for him to pick up the crystals. All he could do was watch the strange vehicle gradually move away from them.
A large number of bats were killed, but there were still a large number of white bats charging forward fearlessly. Looking at the white shadows flying above him made his scalp tingle.
Zhou Wen had just used the Grand Yin Wind and hadn't recovered his Primordial Energy when he saw a large number of white bats charge down. His expression changed slightly as he gripped his Bamboo Blade tightly and prepared to engage the white bats in close combat.
Lu Yunxian and Lu Ning also summoned their Companion Beasts in preparation for battle. The carriage was too small, so they could only summon Companion Beasts in their companion form to transform into armor and weapons to assist them in battle.
Seeing the large number of white bats rush down, Zhou Wen was about to draw his saber when he heard a buzzing sound. The white bats that filled the sky retreated. None of the white bats continued charging down as they circled the top of the cave.
Zhou Wen and company were taken aback as they looked in the direction of the carriage. They saw that the puppet was holding a strange musical instrument at some point in time. The musical instrument was likely made of stone. It looked flat and had a few holes on it. It was extremely crude.
But just as the white bat was about to rush down, the puppet placed the stone instrument in front of its face. Its face was just a piece of wood without any facial features. It was unknown how it blew, but the hole in the stone made a humming sound.
The moment the sound was heard, the white bats that charged down immediately retreated. They circled in the sky for a long time, not daring to charge down again.
The strange vehicle passed through the bat swarm, but it wasn't attacked by the bat swarm again. It proceeded safely.
"Young Master Wen … Don't tell me that puppet is alive …" Lu Yunxian looked at the puppet in shock. He originally imagined that it was a machine-like dead object, but who knew that it would have such an anomaly?
Zhou Wen was also looking at the puppet. The puppet was standing on the pedal of the carriage and was no longer pushing the rocker arm. However, the strange vehicle was still moving forward at a constant speed. The rocker arm was also spinning on its own.
The puppet stood at the front of the carriage with the stone instrument in its hand. It looked up as though it was looking into the distance, but it didn't have any facial features. It didn't even have eyes, so how could it look? It was incomparably strange.
Zhou Wen found it odd, but since it was beneficial to them, Zhou Wen had no intention of attacking the puppet. He was only somewhat worried about where the strange vehicle would take them.
The scene in front of them suddenly opened up as the white bats that filled the sky dispersed. The trio's gazes passed through the scattered white bats and saw a blue sky.
Unlike the cave from before, this place was actually a vast and boundless space. One couldn't see the end of this space at a glance. In the distance, one could even see the sea and islands, and above them was a blue sky.
However, the blue sky was a little too blue, like a sapphire. Zhou Wen looked carefully and realized that it was really a sapphire.
An unimaginably huge sapphire that occupied the entire sky formed the sky of this underground space.
There was no sun or stars. The sapphire itself emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the entire underground space. At the same time, everything in the underground space was covered in a layer of light blue.
In the next second, the strange vehicle landed on the blue sea. Zhou Wen didn't know if it was an ocean, but he couldn't see the end of it. At a glance, all he saw was dark blue seawater.
The strange vehicle could actually drive on the surface of the sea. Its stone wheels spun on the surface of the sea as though it was walking on flat ground. It sped across the surface of the sea, leaving behind two white waves.
"What's that down there?" Lu Yunxian said as he pointed at the seawater beside him in horror.
Zhou Wen and Lu Ning looked at the sea and saw a huge shadow beneath them. It was as though a behemoth was swimming beneath the strange vehicle.
All they could see was a huge shadow that they couldn't see its head or tail. And the shadow was gradually growing larger.
Splash!
The seawater spewed into the sky like a volcanic eruption, reaching at least hundreds of feet high. Huge waves swept up in all directions. The seawater struck the strange vehicle, but it didn't budge at all. However, a large amount of seawater poured into the back of the vehicle, drenching the three of them.
However, Zhou Wen and company weren't in the mood to care about the seawater on their bodies. Their six eyes widened as they stared at the sea beside the vehicle.
They saw a huge black creature that looked like it was carved out of an obsidian. Half of its body extended out of the seawater. Its body was perfect and gorgeous, and its obsidian-like scales shimmered. Every inch of its body seemed to be exquisitely carved. Such a huge body couldn't be seen even with a magnifying glass.
The massive body that was like a small mountain gave off an exquisite and dignified feeling.
"Dragon … That's a dragon … A dragon carved out of an obsidian …" Lu Yunxian stammered as he pointed at the creature that had half its body extended out of the sea.
Zhou Wen's expression didn't look too good either. The development of the situation seemed to have exceeded his expectations. Regardless of whether the terrifying creature in the sea was a real dragon or not, just the aura it emitted was enough to tell how terrifying an existence it was. It might even not be weaker than the white dragon in Dragon's Well.
Boom! Boom!
A series of waves sounded as the seawater around the strange vehicle churned. Large amounts of seawater surged over, causing Zhou Wen and company to stagger.
However, their gazes weren't on the vehicle. Outside the strange vehicle, black dragon heads tore through the waves. One … Two … Three …
When Zhou Wen saw the ninth black dragon extend its head out of the sea, he felt a little numb.
"Roar!" The nine creatures carved out of obsidian roared at the strange vehicle in unison. The sound waves instantly surged towards the strange vehicle. Even the seawater was struck by the sound waves, forming huge waves that surged towards the tiny strange vehicle from all directions.
"We're doomed!" Lu Yunxian's expression changed drastically. With such a terrifying creature and such a terrifying sound wave, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to escape today.
Zhou Wen gripped the banana fan tightly, prepared to fight to the death. Even though he knew that he wasn't its match, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
"Woo!" However, the strange sound of a stone instrument sounded in front of the vehicle again. With the humming sound, the surrounding sound waves and huge waves dissipated at the same time, preventing them from approaching the strange vehicle.
The nine black dragons stared at the strange vehicle covetously, but none of them pounced forward. All they did was watch the strange vehicle slowly drive to the other side of the sea.
Zhou Wen and company's hearts raced. After the strange vehicle distanced itself from the nine black dragons, Zhou Wen turned his head to take another look. He saw the nine obsidian-like dragons roaring at the sky as though they were venting the anger in their hearts.
And under the sea, Zhou Wen realized that the lower half of their bodies were connected. It was like a black mountain sinking into the sea. Only then did he realize that it wasn't nine dragons, but a monster with nine dragon heads.
