The Petrachelys dived silently and quickly in the water, leaving the storm on the surface behind. The images from the external monitors were converted to several large holographic projections. These holographic projections formed an immersive scene as if the heavy armor around the bridge had disappeared, and everyone could directly experience the feeling of being immersed in the deep sea.
The surface of the sea gradually receded, and soon there were only some vague flashes of light coming from above. It was Io's never-ending thunderstorm lighting up the storm star. In the past, when the sirens on this planet came to the Air World, the first new energy they came into contact with was lightning, and it was more than a thousand years after Iwenna observed the starry sky that they came into contact with "sunlight".
Unfortunately, these historical details had been submerged in the rolling waves of Io, and it was difficult for anyone to know.
As the depth of the dive increased, the turbulence of the water began to calm down, and the wind and waves seemed to be isolated to another world. The darkness grew heavier and heavier, pressing down on him from all directions. But along with the darkness, there was also a strange sense of security. Lily hugged her shoulders and jumped around Hao Ren. "Oh, my deep-sea phobia is coming out..."
Vivian slapped her aside and said, "Stop it, your brain can't get such a complicated disease."
"The deeper we dive, the calmer it gets..." Shaqira coiled at the front of the bridge, looking out into the deep darkness. "When was the first time our ancestors swam up from the deep sea? Why did they want to leave the safety and peace of the bottom of the sea? How did they feel when they saw the storm on the sea for the first time? Was it a novel surprise? Or was it fear? "
"Races with a history can touch the traces of their ancestors from their own history books, but even when we return home, we can still only rely on speculation to imagine how we used to live here." The siren queen shook her head. "When I return here, there is no surprise, only emptiness."
"Maybe you will feel better after seeing the ruins of the deep sea. I think the ruins should be similar to the scenery of Nasaton." Vivian looked at the siren queen with a sigh in her eyes. "To be honest, you are better than the other otherworldlings on the surface. At least you are still trying to maintain your culture and think about where you came from. Those guys on the surface don't care about these things at all. For more than 10,000 years, everyone has been living like a group of wild animals."
Hao Ren looked at Vivian with a strange expression. "Vivian, is it okay for you to always make fun of your compatriots?"
Vivian crossed her arms and said, "As an elder, I'm exasperated at those disappointing guys. Can't I?"
Hao Ren was speechless. He turned to the MDT and ordered, "Leave a probe at every kilometer. We can't come here for nothing. Do an ecological survey of the planet or something."
The top of the Petrachelys opened an ejection channel, and a small probe rushed out, leaving a little light in the dark deep sea. At this time, spaceships (or submarines is more appropriate?) The water had sunk into complete darkness. Other than the lights on the ship, there was not a single source of light. However, the external monitoring system of the spaceship was not based on optics, so the darkness did not affect their observation of the outside world. After sinking for a while, some strange animals began to appear in the water. Some of them were slender like fish, and some looked like some kind of triangular insect covered with a heavy carapace. These indigenous creatures had lived here quietly for many years. Now that they were suddenly disturbed by a silver-white monster from the sky, they immediately scattered in fear. However, there were still some bold small aquatic animals that came over and gently bumped against the armor belt of the Petrachelys. Perhaps they thought that this thing was edible?
Nangong Wuyue looked at the scenery outside with her eyes wide open, her tail wagging subconsciously. "I want to... go out and swim."
The siren queen and the other sirens were suddenly interested. Sorma happily raised the tip of her tail and said, "Oh, this is a good idea! Maybe soaking in the water of my hometown will give me a different feeling! "
Hao Ren tested the water quality and confirmed that there were no toxic substances in the water over the past 10,000 years. He then agreed to the four sirens' diving request. An auxiliary passage opened on the side of the Petrachelys, and four slender figures quickly rushed out from it.
Nangong Wuyue happily turned around in the water, dragging her long tail in front of the spaceship. The other three sirens curiously chased the strange deep-water creatures in the surrounding water. The faint glow of the Petrachelys shone on the graceful figures of the water elves. It was like a wonderful scene from a fairy tale. Hao Ren turned on the communication device on the bridge, and Nangong Wuyue's cheerful voice came over. "Hey! Mr. Landlord, these hard-shelled animals are gnawing on the spaceship's serial number. "
"Don't swim too far, or you might get lost and not be able to come back." Hao Ren smiled. "Katreina, how do you feel now?"
The siren queen's voice came over. "This water... is incredible. It has a wonderful sense of intimacy. I don't know how to describe it, but only sirens can feel a kind of magic here. It's so good! "
Shaqira jumped down for a distance, turned around and waved at the spaceship. "Light! There's light down there! We seem to be reaching the bottom of the sea! "
The Petrachelys let out a very faint hum and began to dive faster. A blurry halo soon appeared under the spaceship.
What appeared in the halo was a large stretch of man-made ruins.
On the flat and vast deep beach, endless siren buildings stretched as far as the eye could see. They were high and low, orderly distributed, built with some kind of white and light green man-made material, shaped like a variety of shells and corals stacked in various forms, elegant, exquisite, and filled with an inexplicable atmosphere of mystery. But it was not lights that shone between these buildings, but a large number of luminous algae. These algae flourished in the crevices of the buildings that had been abandoned for more than 10,000 years, emitting a soft and mysterious pale blue and pale pink glow. The entire city and even the entire seabed were thus far away from the darkness.
Today, more than 10,000 years after the artificial lights of the sirens went out, it was the primordial light from nature that re-illuminated the deep sea.
This was an ancient kingdom hidden in the deep sea. Its endless territory almost covered the rocky outer layer of the entire planet, and above the kingdom was thick seawater with an average thickness of more than 10 kilometers. The scale of this deep sea kingdom was far beyond the description of many fairy tales and myths, so much so that Hao Ren did not know how to describe this place for a while.
He only knew that when looking at this planet from above Io, no one would have thought that such a lost kingdom was hidden under the endless storms and grayish-blue ocean.
"According to the records of Nasaton's database, this should be the capital of the sirens," the MDT compared the information. "Evaduran. It seems that the portal opened in this place. "
"The energy environment is very chaotic." Hao Ren turned on the radar and found that he could only vaguely sense the existence of a large energy vortex nearby, but all the details were interfered with by a strong background noise. "The two worlds should have interfered with each other. The radar is in a very bad state here. It's almost like it's sleepwalking between the two worlds."
The MDT helped to operate the other equipment. "It should be nearby. Start the conventional radar feed with optical observation. The vortex is so big, it shouldn't be too difficult to find."
"Let's go and help," the voice of the siren queen came from the communicator. "Don't worry, we'll return immediately if we encounter any situation. We won't force ourselves."
The four sirens swam in four directions to the depths of Evaduran (the ancient capital of the deep sea), while the Petrachelys began to search slowly. The portal seriously interfered with the natural laws of this place. This kind of distortion involved the origin of the world, so even if Hao Ren was driving a super-advanced spacecraft, he dared not act recklessly.
"Actually, I can also help to explore..." Vivian muttered to herself.
Lily looked at her in surprise. "Ah, Battie, your little Battie can swim?"
Hao Ren pursed his lips. "Can't you two just sit quietly in the chair for a while?"
At this time, Nangong Sanba suddenly saw something on the holographic projection and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! Look, what's that in front?! "
The holographic projection immediately zoomed in, and a huge, dark, strange creation appeared in front of everyone.
Hao Ren's eyes suddenly widened. "This is... a spaceship?"
