The water bubble slowly rose to the surface of the sea. As the surrounding water receded, Hao Ren found himself in an unusually calm body of water. He looked around and found a dark turtle-shaped island not far to his left. There was nothing on the island, and the surroundings of the island were clear and clear. The air was excellent, and he did not see the thick fog that he had expected.
"You said this place is called the Shrouded Island?" Lily looked at the black island that was slowly approaching in surprise. "It doesn't look foggy at all."
"Look around," Shaqira pointed at the sea with the tip of her tail. "Can you see anything? Even if it's just a wave.
Vivian's eyes widened. "There's nothing... The water is incredibly calm, not even a ripple?!"
As far as the eye could see, the entire sea was so calm that it was almost eerie. Looking into the distance, he could not see anything on the surface of the sea. The sea was so calm that it was like a perfectly polished mirror. There was not even the slightest wrinkle. The sunlight was uniform in all directions, and the sun hung in the middle of the sky as if it had been carefully calibrated. The sunlight added to the strangeness of the water.
The black island not far away was the only strange color between the sea and the sky. Other than that, the whole world seemed to have turned into a monotonous blue and white, and the boundary was clearly divided into two parts. There was no doubt that this was not a natural phenomenon.
"Are we still on Earth?" Hao Ren patted his pocket and muttered to himself. The voice of the MDT then sounded in his mind. "Coordinate comparison... The current position is still Earth, but there is a layer of something like a barrier around us that has changed the natural landscape within the range. It has obvious traces of artificial encryption, but we have been in here once. I'm confident that I can crack the entry pattern of this place next time. "
"This is the Shrouded Island. The fog is not on the island, but in the entire space." Sorma swam around them while introducing the only entrance to the world of the sirens. "Only by passing through a few correct nodes can you see the Shrouded Island in front of you. Any other route will encounter eternal fog once you get close to this water. Even the most advanced human ships will have to go back the same way after a few big circles. Many navigators who are not easily fooled have recorded the fog in this place, so we have to change the pattern and the guiding position of the fog every once in a while. Those explorers are really hard to deal with. I don't know why they have the mood to knock on our door. "
"Only by diving from the coast on the side of the Shrouded Island can we enter Nasaton. The water around the island is the most critical 'node' to Nasaton." Shaqira swam over and took Nangong Wuyue's hand. "Little sister, do you remember the information of the water flow?"
As a siren, Nangong Wuyue could sense the 'route' just now. She nodded, her face full of surprise. "I didn't expect my hometown to be so hidden... It's much more powerful than I thought. No wonder I couldn't find the city of the sirens after trying several times before. "
"Your mother may have asked you to stay away from Nasaton to protect you, but not being able to return to your hometown is ultimately a pitiful thing." Sorma swam over. "From now on, you can freely enter and exit this place, and you can also bring these few friends here today — but you can't bring anyone else. Finally, although Nasaton seems to be in some trouble, we still welcome you home, young sister. "
The three sirens turned over and jumped into the water, their scales reflecting golden light under the sun. Lil Pea was peeking out of Hao Ren's collar to observe the outside world. Seeing this, she cheered and jumped down, wagging her tail vigorously to catch up with the three 'sisters'. The little one jumped out of the water excitedly from time to time along the way, like a dolphin jumping in the air to greet everyone. "Water! So much water! I love this place! "
The vast and boundless sea seemed to have given the little one a sense of familiarity with her hometown. She had been very excited since just now.
And Hao Ren and the rest stepped on the foam and water under their feet, gradually approaching the black island behind the three sirens. Nangong Sanba looked at the scene on the island and suddenly seemed to see something interesting. He raised his hand and called out to the sirens in the distance, "Can we go to the island and have a look?"
"No problem," Shaqira's voice came from the front. "But don't stay too long!"
The group set foot on this black turtle island that had never been recorded on any nautical chart. Its regular shape did not seem to be a natural creation at all. The entire island was like a piece of metal that was naturally formed, and its surface was covered with huge but not deep grooves. Lily bent down and touched the black, cold 'ground' and exclaimed, "It's warm?!"
"There is an energy reaction deep in the island," the voice of the MDT sounded in the mind of Hao Ren and others. "It is a huge spherical device that is exposed out of the water. This ball floats in the water, and I have scanned that its bottom has 135 pipelines connected to the bottom of the sea. It may be a system that interacts with the heat of the seabed. And this device itself is the source of the fog barrier. "
There were some sparsely distributed man-made things on the black island. They were shaped like corals, sticking out of the ground in clusters, but the surface was floating with a faint fluorescent light. Y'lisabet curiously poked one of the 'corals', and the latter immediately produced a pleasant sound of wind chimes.
Then, the little girl's face turned black with electricity.
Y'lisabet laughed. "That's exciting!"
"I thought the sirens only knew magic..." Hao Ren looked at all this in amazement. "I didn't expect them to make such things."
"Can't they build automatic facilities with magic?" Vivian asked. "And a race that is not disturbed by the outside world, and has developed in the deep sea for 10,000 years, how could they not build something powerful to guard their home? After all, in a sense, they are the earliest civilization on this planet. "
At this time, they heard the sound of water behind them. Shaqira climbed up the shore and called out to everyone. "Ready to dive?"
They rode the water bubble to the deep sea. During the dive, Hao Ren and the rest had been paying attention to the direction of the Shrouded Isle. They saw the real appearance of the 'island' underwater as described by the MDT. It was a huge ball, and the part under the water was more complicated. Below the midline of the ball, there were many shimmering bumps. They flickered with a certain rhythm and seemed to be responding to the water around the sea. At the bottom of the giant ball was a large number of black cables that looked like deep-sea cables. They scattered into the deep water and eventually disappeared into the endless darkness, extending to nowhere.
It was not a technological creation, but a huge magical device — but for Earth's civilization, it was no different from advanced alien science.
After the water bubble dived to a certain depth, it changed its course and began to move away from the direction of the Shrouded Isle. Hao Ren noticed some bright light flashing outside from time to time. It could be the light-emitting animals of the deep sea, or some kind of 'signpost' set by the sirens. Lil Pea wandered around outside and got interested. She was now swimming around the outer wall of the water bubble, jumping in and out of the opening in the water wall from time to time. Rollie was carefully guarding the hole where Lil Pea came in and out. She was responsible for preventing Lil Pea from falling. The cat knew that if she did not take good care of the fish, not only would she be hit by the fish, she would probably not be able to eat dried fish for the rest of her life...
"We should be crossing a spatial layer," Y'zaks suddenly sensed something. He looked up at the dark water wall above. "I feel something has changed... The magic of the sirens is brilliant. The spatial layer they create is so smooth that it is almost undetectable."
"So, people who accidentally stray into it have almost no way to get out alive. Before you know it, you have entered a boundless water world," Shaqira said. "Although we live in our own little kingdom without provoking anyone, there are still many reckless adventurers who take the initiative to break in every year. They are 100% lost in this layered and invisible deep-sea labyrinth. We have sent many sirens to patrol outside, and they will try their best to help those in distress, but it is inevitable that some unlucky ones will miss the rescue. But I have been away from here for a hundred years. I don't know if there are any humans who have broken into here recently. "
At this time, there was a flash of light in front of the water bubble, and Sorma's voice came from the front. "We can see the wall of Nasaton."
