Chapter 357: Snake Bone Pillar

Although Haiyuan City was plagued by war.

But this city, built with the wisdom of humans and sea people, is still beautiful.

Light came from all directions, and the houses built of crystals and shells were neat and tidy. White and red corals were dotted among the buildings. Flowers of various colors floated with the water. Groups of fish shuttled back and forth in the city. You could hear singing and roaring songs.

At the bottom of this city was the entrance to Haiyuan.

A beautiful girl with soft pink hair and a light blue dress was standing in the light, surrounded by silver-white fish.

The girl's name was Haiqi, and she was also the princess of Haiyuan City.

In Haiyuan City, every individual who was over 18 years old would have the opportunity to step into Haiyuan.

If you can find an opportunity to complete the contract with the powerful deep-sea overlords in Haiyuan and obtain the gift of radiance, you can become a true God-given warrior.

Haiqi was less than a month away from adulthood.

Before this, she asked her father for the job of feeding the fish, hoping to gain some goodwill with the deep-sea overlords.

But...

This trip took several days.

After the task was completed, Hai Qi, who was standing on the abyss, did not gain any understanding of the mysterious place in front of him.

Instead, after seeing the corpses of those tribesmen, her mood became more and more depressed.

The war was getting more and more intense.

From the time Hai Qi was born to now, every day has been spent in war.

She saw that this ancient city was slowly withering, and even if her father and the tribesmen tried their best, they could only survive.

The enemies they faced were endless and constantly evolved in the war.

But the scale of Haiyuan City was reduced in the war, and today it is less than half of the size when it was first established.

The tribesmen who were slaughtered by the insect swarm demons, the hunched waist of her father, and the warriors who died with their eyes wide open in the blood food just now...

Hai Qi slowly clenched his fists.

The desire to gain power and protect the people and homeland became stronger.

"Princess."

Just as Hai Qi was standing here silently thinking, the powerful voice of the sea warrior came from behind.

Hai Qi turned around and saw a young man wearing golden armor and holding a trident. A worried look appeared on his fair face, "If the mission has been completed, we'd better not stay here any longer."

After all, it is a forbidden area.

The filthy smell emanating from the abyss will cause a serious illness for people with weak constitutions if they are exposed to it.

It may even directly lose their lives.

"Well, I understand." Hai Qi nodded and answered seriously.

She turned around and looked at the entrance of the azure abyss from a distance. With a light sigh, she followed the young warrior and left.

Splash!

The crisp sound of water splashing.

Accompanied by the turbulent and fierce water flow, it was beyond everyone's expectations.

The entrance to the abyss, which was as calm as a mirror just now, suddenly boiled up, scarlet miasma spread in the abyss, and a terrifying rat like a demon rushed out of it.

That speed was as fast as a cannonball.

Hai Qi turned around subconsciously, and before she could scream, she saw that the alien insect had already pounced less than three meters in front of her.

"Princess, be careful!"

The young deep-sea warrior reacted faster than Hai Qi, holding the trident in his hand and was about to throw it behind him.

However, there was a distance of six or seven steps between the two.

Although the warrior's reaction speed was not satisfactory, the resistance in the deep sea was more than hundreds of times that on the ground. At this time, the only thing he could do was to watch the alien insect that came from nowhere pounce on his princess.

Hai Qi's pupils slowly opened and grew.

Less than three meters away, she could clearly see the alien insect's scarlet bloodthirsty pupils, hideous and twisted face, and the black and sharp claws.

Puff!

The sound of flesh being torn apart came.

But it was not from Princess Haiqi. When the distance between the two was reduced to one meter, the huge alien insect suddenly exploded.

Its rat-like head fell at Haiqi's feet, and its rotten body was firmly bitten by a golden giant snake.

The alien insect's vitality was extremely tenacious.

Even if it lost its head, it was still waving its claws to fight with the giant snake.

However, the size difference between the two was too great, and even the strength and agility were not on the same level. After just a few rounds, the ferocious alien insect had been crushed into mud by the giant snake and then swallowed.

"Princess, are you okay!"

The warrior had time to rush to the princess, holding her waist with his hands, and asked with concern.

"Thank you, I'm fine." Haiqi broke free from the warrior's hands, patted her soft chest with his hands, and took a long breath before seriously looking at the giant snake that had just saved her.

It was a golden giant anaconda, over a hundred meters long and as thick as a millstone.

There were glittering silver-white stripes on its scales. In the deep sea where all kinds of creatures grow wildly, such a glittering giant snake that looked like it was cast in gold was so beautiful that it was like a gift from God.

In fact.

Subconsciously, Su Heng manipulated the flesh and blood tentacles of the giant whale to transform into the appearance of Jamiya when she was young.

Needless to say the beauty of the first template.

"I…"

Looking at the giant snake in front of him, Hai Qi's eyes seemed to be shining. She tiptoed forward. The expression of the warrior behind her changed slightly. She wanted to stop her but was rejected by Hai Qi with a wave of his hand.

When Hai Qi came to the giant snake, the flesh and blood of the insect had been completely swallowed by Su Heng.

"Hello, my name is Hai Qi."

Although he wasn't sure whether the shiny snake would understand what he said, Hai Qi still introduced himself in a soft voice.

fine…

She spoke in common language, which Su Heng could barely understand.

He was not in a hurry to leave. Anyway, the food just now had been divided up, and there was nothing to do now.

If you continue to stay here, you might be able to get some useful information from this girl. From the time he arrived until now, Su Heng has been staying in the dark and lightless abyss, not knowing much about the city above his head and the surrounding environment. , I really don’t know much about it.

This is an opportunity.

Of course, another reason is that the girl named Hai Qi in front of him is really good-looking.

The body looks soft, and the two slender jade legs are wrapped in white stockings, revealing a little bit of sensuality and exuding a strange attraction.

Su Heng is not an LSP.

But after eating, it is also a good enjoyment to stay with a beautiful girl for a while.

Seeing that the golden anaconda did not leave or make any aggressive move, Hai Qi gradually became bolder.

"Thank you for saving me."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of black dried meat from her pocket and handed it to Su Heng.

"This is the flesh and blood of the deep sea dragon lizard. After taking it, you have a chance to gain a little bit of the dragon lizard's bloodline power, which may be helpful to you."

The anaconda showed an interested look on its face.

The huge head approached Hai Qi, its golden vertical pupils staring seriously at the piece of flesh and blood the size of half a palm.

It was just as Hai Qi said.

That piece of flesh and blood exudes rich vitality, and its owner is at least an evolver who is at the limit of the third life level and has given birth to radiation.

Of course, the vitality contained in flesh and blood may be a great tonic for ordinary people.

But for giant whales whose body length exceeds 100 meters, it actually does not have any immediate effect.

However, for Su Heng.

The life contained in the dragon lizard's flesh is not important, but the genes of this creature are more important.

The genes left behind by every powerful creature are a treasure waiting to be mined for giant whales with mutated talents, especially the deep-sea dragon lizard, a species that sounds ancient and powerful.

"I really found a treasure this time."

Su Heng was so happy that he even liked the sight of Hai Qi in front of him.

He manipulated the big snake to stick out its tongue, swept away the flesh and blood in Hai Qi's palm, raised his head, swallowed it and carefully stored it for future excavation.

Seeing the big snake accepting his kindness, Hai Qi also looked happy.

She quietly reached out and touched the scales of the big snake.

The soft and warm feeling is not like touching the scales of a cold-blooded animal, but like stroking some kind of exquisite jade.

"If you like this kind of food, I will bring you some when the gate to the abyss opens. Also, in more than half a month, it will be the day when the fusion ceremony will be held. If possible, I hope to be able to Become your contractor."

Hai Qi stammered and said to Orochi.

It didn't look like they were discussing anything serious, but rather like they were confessing.

Wave goodbye.

The giant snake, which was transformed into the flesh and blood of the giant whale, returned to the abyss.

Princess Haiqi also waved her hand and left the forbidden area together with the golden-armored warrior.

…

"Haiyuan City..."

As the entrance to the abyss slowly closed.

The light disappeared, and Haiyuan returned to a dark and gloomy state.

In the boundless shadow, the astonishingly large whale was unconsciously waving its tail to perform post-meal digestion exercises.

The rest of the sea beast overlords do not have the exaggerated devouring ability of Jamia's world-devouring snake. Even if they have radiation assistance, they still need to be careful and expend a lot of energy to process the flesh and blood in their stomachs without allowing any disturbance. .

Ever since.

With the closure of the entrance to the abyss.

The other sea beasts that had just had a feast also left one after another and huddled up in their lairs to rest.

Only Su Heng and Giant Whale were still here, looking like they were doing nothing and enjoying themselves. With the help of Jia Mia's world-eating snake talent, those flesh and blood stumps were decomposed into pure energy before they fell into the stomach.

No pressure at all.

Su Heng was still thinking about the news he got from Hai Qi.

Among them, the most important news is the fusion ceremony mentioned by Hai Qi at the end.

There are also records of this ritual in the memory of the giant whale. The warriors of the sea tribe can grow rapidly with the help of the radiation cultivation of the deep sea overlords. At the same time, they step into the battlefield to kill foreigners and throw the corpses of the invaders into the abyss to become food for the deep sea overlords.

Overall, it is a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.

"The so-called contract actually still has the upper hand over the deep sea overlords who own the radiants."

Su Heng is no longer the rookie who just started out and knew nothing. After cultivating many templates, Su Heng also has a clear understanding of the characteristics of different evolutionary stages.

The most direct point.

After the death of those who have obtained the radiation of the deep-sea overlord, it will not have any impact on the deep-sea overlord itself.

Once the deep-sea overlord dies, the radiation will dissipate.

The sea warriors who practice with the radiation are like rootless grass and cannot last too long.

Therefore, if the contract with the girl named Hai Qi can be completed, it will not be a bad thing for the giant whale. At least there is one more channel to communicate with the outside world and obtain information.

As for the radiation lost in the contract, with the current vitality of the giant whale, a big nap can recover it.

"However, the fusion ceremony will start again in the second half of the month. Now, it is better to go to the snake bone pillar. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Su Heng calculated.

The snake bone pillar is the entrance to the middle layer of the abyss.

Because it is connected to the middle layer with a higher degree of pollution, the sea area around the Serpent Bone Pillar is the most polluted.

If you wander around there, you may encounter some interesting evil demons. If you devour them, you can not only accelerate the accumulation of vitality but also further improve the gene pool of the giant whale, which is a two-pronged approach.

...

What are the middle and deep layers of the abyss like?

Su Heng is not very clear.

However, the shallow area of ​​the abyss is not particularly vast.

Its narrowest north-south direction is only a few hundred kilometers. The narrowest part of the trench is less than ten kilometers. When the giant whale swims through it, it sometimes has to pay attention to whether it will hit the rock pillars protruding from both sides of the trench.

It took about half a day.

Su Heng arrived at the predetermined destination and looked into the distance. From a distance, he could see the huge snake bones standing at the end of the deep sea.

The pale bones were hundreds of meters in diameter, and the height was difficult to estimate with the eyes.

It spiraled up from the deepest part of the trench and then disappeared at the end of the sight.

"This..."

Su Heng had seen huge monsters before.

However, with such a huge body, even Jamia, the largest of all templates, became a little sister in front of it, almost a whole order of magnitude difference.

"The owner of this big snake is at least an evolver of the fifth life level."

Su Heng was certain in his heart.

But at the same time, the doubts became deeper and deeper.

Is this giant snake an enemy or a friend of the Terraria world?

Who is it, how long has it been dead, and what kind of existence can torture a catastrophic god into this state.

Su Heng originally thought that the Golden Age was already the most glorious era in Terraria civilization. But now, as the mysterious veils are unveiled one by one, it seems that there is another forgotten time in the more distant times.

At that time...

The gods walked on the earth. 　　17281/10192059
