Chapter 535 Underwater City
The white light around him dissipated, and the first thing Zhu Jue saw was the dark blue ball of light in the distance.

It is not suspended in the sea, even at a distance, Zhu Jue can still vaguely see a mountain range under the seabed that seems to stand under the ball of light, and the ball of light is at the peak of the mountain range, like the brightest jewel in the crown or It is a lighthouse in the deep sea.

Suddenly aware of the eyes falling on him, Zhu Jue turned around suddenly, and the five tentacles with five orange eyes were staring at him at this time.

Subconsciously stepped back for a distance, although I had only seen it before, the state of the spirit body was vague and indifferent after all.

What appeared in front of Zhu Jue at this time was undoubtedly the real entity of the ancient.

More than two meters high, the body of some wrinkled barrels is suspended in the sea water. The wide and tough membrane wings on both sides are constantly flapping. It's checking his status.

"It was you who saved me just now?"

Suppressing the discomfort in his mind, Zhu Jue recalled the monster he faced a few seconds ago, his figure had long since disappeared from his perception, and tried to communicate with the ancients through his mind.

"The Family of the Stars. It shouldn't be around here."

The ancient man's response quickly sounded in Zhu Jue's mind.

"Family of the Stars?"

Zhu Jue had never heard of this name, but just when it appeared and mentioned in his mind, he felt that the sea water around him suddenly became a little deeper.

"They should be sleeping in R'lyeh's stone house, waiting for the right time for the stars and this planet to appear under the protection of the spell. I don't know why it suddenly appeared here. The unknown existence has no signs of awakening. Our war with them ended millions of years ago. You drew it into existence!"

Not only Zhu Jue was surprised by what happened before, but even the old man's mood was a little unstable, and the existence mentioned in the words made the surrounding environment more and more depressing.

Even if it was only a brief discussion, it still seemed to touch a taboo. Even Zhu Jue, who was in a spiritual state, could feel the oppression coming from the sea water around him.

"Will it follow?"

In order to ensure that he would not fall into horrific and bizarre fantasies before completing his goal, Zhu Jue had to forcibly interrupt the words of the ancient.

God knows what would happen if he lost consciousness in a place like this.

"No, it's just an ordinary individual in the family, and its strength is not enough to track the white space. Come with me."

The ancient didn't seem to want to get too entangled in this topic, so he simply responded and brought Zhu Jue closer to where the ball of light was.

As the distance drew closer, Zhu Jue, who had been focusing on the ball of light, soon discovered that it was not the lighting lamp he had imagined, but a mass of protoplasmic flesh with a diameter of tens of meters. It is said to be somewhat like a cell ball, and the light that can illuminate the seabed within a range of several thousand square meters is released from its body.

"Is this your city?"

Noticing that the outlines of buildings with chiseled traces began to appear on the seabed ahead, Zhu Jue asked.

This is a true underwater city!
"Yes, this is our newly opened residence. We don't trust you and cannot go to our most primitive city."

The ancients obviously don't know what "courtesy" is.

"What's that glowing thing?"

"Rely on the light source produced by biotechnology, because this is the place to live in the deep sea, we need lighting. It can self-supply and release light continuously by devouring the organisms in the seawater."

The ancients didn't deliberately hide anything from Zhu Jue. Of course, it may be that the information doesn't need to be concealed at all in its view.

It sinks continuously and finally lands on the bottom of the sea.

The ancient is not affected by buoyancy at all. It was still floating and floating a second ago, and it landed exactly like it was on land. The tentacles at the bottom glide among the sand and rocks on the seabed, but Zhu Jue maintained a floating posture. Beside it, he began to look at the underwater city.

The imaginary high-tech city is only limited to imagination after all, perhaps because it has just been developed, the first impression of this city to Zhu Jue is that it is rough.

Before, because I was floating in the upper seawater, I observed it from a bird's-eye view, and I didn't think there was anything wrong, but after entering the city, Zhu Jue found that the height and width of most of the buildings here are quite exaggerated, perhaps because of this It is the special proportion that makes Zhu Jue feel empty.

Of course, rough does not mean primitive.

The ancients with a very high civilization naturally couldn't really live the life of primitive people. After walking for about 10 minutes, Zhu Jue saw many strange things.

For example, in a market at the intersection of a street, it doesn’t look strange from a distance, but when Zhu Jue gets closer, he realizes that the stalls here are actually made up of a group of crustaceans similar to those he has seen before. As the ancient approached, these crustaceans suddenly dispersed and rushed towards this side. Before Zhu Jue understood what was going on, he found that there was a "cube" also made up of crustaceans under the feet of the ancient, carrying it Forward.

This kind of thing is actually a bit like Zhu Jue's own scavenger, but the scavenger only obeys Zhu Jue's orders, and the crustaceans here tend to be shared items.

Before going far, a lot of ancient people suddenly emerged from the houses on the side of the street. Most of their tentacles were wrapped with fish or shrimp, and their figures were swaying, like a group of people who just came out of a tavern Middle-aged uncle, Zhu Jue turned his head to look at the buildings they came out of. There seemed to be black pictographs carved with some kind of tool on the top.
While Zhu Jue was observing these ancients, they also noticed the existence of Zhu Jue very quickly. I have to say that this feeling is quite weird for the latter.

You must know that in the world where Zhu Jue lives, if there is a living ancient who can communicate with humans, it may have attracted the attention of the whole world. Those who can count on their fingers, let alone this ancient intelligent race.

However, in this underwater city, Zhu Jue has become a rare existence. It is not a good thing to be surrounded by a group of ancient people. If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he has fallen into complete madness at this time. Even Zhu Jue, at this time I feel a little uncomfortable, but I can barely rely on my strong will to suppress the chaotic thoughts.

Fortunately, the ancient who brought Zhujue stood up at this time, and uttered a few short and rapid syllables through the vocal organ that did not know where, and the ancients around Zhujue immediately turned and left as if they had received an order. Disappear among the buildings on either side of the street.

Perhaps it was because of this warning that there were no more spectators on the next journey, until Zhu Jue was brought into a building in the center of the underwater city, where the ancients who had received the news in advance were waiting.

In the very center of the room, there is a very strange shape. It is composed of a large number of metal pipes of unknown materials, geometric rune blocks engraved with mysterious spells, and some bright things that Zhu Jue can’t tell what they are. The resulting shape is a bit like a helmet, but the specifications are obviously not suitable for the device on Zhu Jue's head.

"what is this?"

Zhu Jue had a vague premonition that what would happen next should be the key to his coming here, so he couldn't help but looked at the ancient man beside him and asked.

"In the test before the experiment, the transfer of equipment and items requires the use of white space. This is a technology that spans time and space. Even we need to pay a certain price. We must confirm that you have the value of the experiment. Stand at the bottom of the device. We want to Test you immediately!"

As the ancients said before, there is no helping relationship in this cooperation, and there is only a relationship between the experimental subject and the researcher. It is a fact that I wish to become the experimental subject voluntarily, and the ancients who are researchers are also willing Consumes resources for running this experiment.

But the premise is that Zhu Jue is qualified to become a test subject!

"It is impossible for the weak life form of the Gadamon daughter body to bear it. You are special, and you may be able to succeed. This needs to be tested!"

The voice that appeared in Zhu Jue's mind this time was obviously different from the ancients summoned by the previous two contact techniques. The tone was jerky. It was estimated that other ancients in the room were trying to communicate with Zhu Jue.

At this point, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Jue to refuse the test requirements of the ancients, so he can only set off and stand at the bottom of the device.

However, while Zhu Jue acted according to the requirements of the ancients, he also secretly made psychological preparations, and would act immediately if the situation was slightly wrong.

Even if he has completely turned against the ancients, he still has to leave here. The effect of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir will disappear in a short time, and his soul will return to his body at that time.

Zhu Jue clearly knew what kind of existence he was facing. He had seen the behavior of a great race that destroyed a gang of robbers at every turn. He didn't think that these extremely rational ancient intelligent races would have compassion for ordinary life.

After all.

The ancients wanted to test Zhu Jue, but why did Zhu Jue believe in them wholeheartedly?
If it wasn't for breaking the shackles of the body, only lunatics and cultists would be willing to deal with this kind of guy!
In any case, the test finally started. The runes on the large helmet-shaped device lit up one after another. Zhu Jue's spirit body clearly felt that there was some kind of special energy shuttling through it. There was a "huhu~" sound when the pipe was being piped and a "呲呵~" sound after the red-hot iron block was put into the cold water, and then the shimmering shiny object on the device began to flicker.

For some reason, seeing this scene, Zhu Jue always involuntarily associates it with the picture of the data push on the computer screen. These numerous and bright objects are like data streams constantly flickering, which only the ancients can give. understandable message.

The whole process didn't last long. After about 3 minutes, Zhu Jue found that the flickering speed of the light began to slow down until it stopped completely, and then returned to the state when it was not activated.

"Your soul is extremely special. Even we have never encountered this phenomenon!"

The ancients squirmed, their huge and bloated bodies swaying from side to side, like a whispered discussion.

"So did I pass or fail?"

Zhu Jue didn't understand what it meant.

"We look forward to the next experiment!"

Straightforward as always.
