"It's too dark now. Why don't we wait until dawn?" Zhao Manyan said.
"Brother Zhao, if we wait until dawn, we only have less than twenty hours left. If we don't tell Brother Fan and Mubai what we're up to, they won't have enough time to stop the Forbidden Curse," Zhang Xiaohou said.
Zhao Manting knocked his head on the rock beside him. He had an urge to kill himself. Why did he have to be dragged to a place like this where he was seeking his own death?
"So what are you looking for? Is there anything here that can prove it's a trap set up by the sea monsters?" Zhao Manyan asked.
As a matter of fact, he was not too sure about the whole situation, especially why Zhang Xiaohou was so sure there was something wrong with the Forbidden Curse, and how did he know the sea monsters were up to no good?
"I've stumbled into a creature in the trench. We'll call it the Demon Trench Ghost. It's extremely intelligent, on par with humans. It also has the ability to cast curses and telepathy. After it kills someone, it can assimilate their soul to obtain the information it wants, "Zhang Xiaohou said.
Yang Xiajie was not the first person the Demon Trench Ghost had assimilated.
The Demon Trench Ghost had killed a high-ranking official in the military. It had obtained a lot of information about the humans, including the Forbidden Curse.
"The sea monsters already knew we were going to use the Forbidden Curse?" Zhao Manyan asked curiously.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
The sea monsters had known about it a long time ago, even before Zhang Xiaohou did.
Zhang Xiaohou was in charge of the operation. It took a long time for the military to discuss the Forbidden Curse, from the proposal to the preparation of the operation, and the search for the army to carry out the operation.
Zhang Xiaohou's army had only received the information about the Forbidden Curse very late. They had only started making their move when the countdown started.
Zhang Xiaohou shuddered in fear. The Demon Trench Ghost had already known about the Forbidden Curse before it even started counting down …
The Forbidden Spell was considered a secret. Although the Great Bell Mountain seemed like a huge project, outsiders would never associate it with the Forbidden Spell. Even the evacuation and migration were carried out with other reasons.
Most Super Mages knew very little about Forbidden Curses, let alone ordinary people and Mages.
It was impossible for the Demonic Ghosts of the Demonic Trench to capture a random person and steal his thoughts to obtain such confidential information about the Forbidden Spell.
This time, the Sea Demon was prepared!
…
"I have to go down. I saw a silver mine at the bottom of the sea."
"Underwater silver mine? Are we going to make a fortune? "
"Brother Zhao, let's focus on the matter of the Forbidden Spell. If we don't do it well, we'll lose our lives. What's the use of getting rich then?"
The two of them discussed while sneaking into Hai Yan Peak.
The distance between the Ocean Rock Peaks was very wide. Every Ocean Rock Peak was like a Black Rock Tower that had taken root at the bottom of the ocean. It was majestic, mysterious, and somewhat terrifying!
Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan were both Water Mages. They were able to move freely in the water. They did not have to worry about the lack of oxygen, nor did they have to worry about their movements slowing down.
The two were diving rapidly, but it was too dark underwater. Even with their night vision, they could only see a limited area.
Zhang Xiaohou began to feel lost when they reached the bottom.
The bottom of the ocean looked perfectly normal. There were no deep trenches or valleys, nor did he see any special creatures, either.
Zhang Xiaohou had checked the area when they were on the surface. The Dragon King Ants were as dense as fish in a pond. The pond was small, but the ocean was huge. The number of Dragon King Ants was enough to destroy a city without anyone noticing!
However, apart from the Dragon King Ants, Zhang Xiaohou did not see anything he was looking for.
"Did I really make a mistake?" Zhang Xiaohou murmured to himself.
"Monkey Zhang, come here, come here!" Zhao Manyan suddenly called out.
Zhang Xiaohou swam to where Zhao Manyan was.
Zhao Manyan was approaching a sturdier Haiyan Peak. He pointed at a hole in the Haiyan Peak.
"It's hollow inside, and the water is flowing strangely," Zhao Manyan said.
"How did Brother Zhao know?" Zhang Xiaohou blurted out in astonishment.
"Your Brother Zhao is a Super Water Mage. You only Awakened your fourth Element. Do you really think you can compete with me!?" Zhao Manyan said.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded and said, "It seems like it's a wise choice to team up with Brother Zhao."
"Bullshit, don't drag me into it next time!" Zhao Manyan cursed.
Zhang Xiaohou smiled. He was well aware of Zhao Manyan's personality. He might say no, but his body would subconsciously move closer to the dangerous place.
…
This Sea Cliff Peak was indeed as big as a building at the bottom of the sea. After the two of them drilled in through the hollow, they were surprised to find that they could still continue to dive down even though they had already reached the bottom!
There was a well under the sea!
It was hiding under the thick cliff. No wonder he did not find anything. It turned out that the nest of the Dragon King Ants was so well-hidden!
The two went down the well. They estimated that they were almost a thousand meters down.
Finally, they found an underwater river. The water was gushing from one end to the other, as if it was about to erupt.
The underground river was even bigger than the trench Zhang Xiaohou was in. It was so wide that it could support a huge city. Even the biggest ships could pass through it.
"What a magical sight. There are rocks under the sea, and there's an underground river under the rocks. The water flow is dozens of times faster than normal rivers," Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
If he had not come here in person, he would not have believed that there was such a spectacle under the sea.
"There are also many tribes and empires in the ocean. Not all of the sea monsters have such great intentions of invading us humans and land. Some leaders have already stated that the one that is eyeing our coastline covetously this time is an ancient and powerful sea monster dynasty from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The reason they haven't launched an all-out war against us is that they are still waiting for the ocean …"
"They need the sea to continue to rise. They need the tide to create momentum for them. They also need a more convenient sea route to allow the powerful existences of their dynasty to reach the battlefield quickly."
Zhang Xiaohou explained to Zhao Manyan.
"You mean, this underground river at the bottom of the sea …"
"It's an underwater river that can quickly cross the middle of the Pacific Ocean and our Bohai Sea!" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"F * * k, this sea monster dynasty is building a highway under the sea … No, it's a high-speed railway!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
The coastline was safe because most of the powerful sea monsters were living in the deep sea.
However, if there was such a river under the sea, the strong sea monsters would be able to reach the human territory quickly without losing their way. Would the cruel tyrants in the deep sea really continue to lay low?
The train was right in front of your door. Would you be able to resist the temptation of the beautiful world?
