Chapter 278: Secret Island, Strange Sea Surface (asking for monthly tickets!)

Completely unaware that two unexpected guys were engaging in a massive fight in Yu City at this moment, Yu Zhun, Lu Wen and Udyr soon reunited after searching the island.

"I didn't find any living creatures here." Yu Zhun took the initiative to speak, and then looked at Lu Wen and Udyr with an inquiring look.

They both shook their heads.

The terrain of the island where they are now is not complicated. If there really is a monster with a large amount of willpower, it will definitely not escape their attention.

But at this moment they saw nothing except the trees on the island.

"It seems that we have to turn our attention to the ocean." Yu Zhun said softly, his eyes looking at the sea not far away.

Apart from a few islands that were very far away from here, Yu Jun could only see the extremely calm sea.

But in his perception at this moment, there seemed to be unknown risks hidden beneath the calm sea surface.

"Oh, I just tried it." Udyr said in a deep voice, "There is a power of forbidden air in this secret realm."

"Even if the flying props are activated by willpower, they cannot be used."

"That should be correct." After hearing Udyr's words and combining it with the current situation, a guess gradually took shape in Yu Zhun's mind.

"The islands here should be similar to safe zones."

"Monsters and dangers exist in the ocean."

"There is a no-fly zone here, probably to prevent anyone from crossing the ocean to other islands."

"No matter what, sea water is much better than those strange-smelling deserts!" Lu Wen snorted and instantly drew two swords from the scabbards behind him, "Let me, Uncle Lu Wen, explore the way for you!"

As he spoke, Lu Wen dived directly from the shore into the sea.

"Pfft!"

The water splashed straight up and quickly subsided.

Yu Zhun and Udyr looked at each other.

"When do you think this guy will come out?" Yu Zhun asked with a helpless smile.

Udyr took out his longbow and silently raised two fingers.

"Two minutes?"

Udyr flexed a finger.

"Looks like there's only one second left."

As he spoke, Udyr withdrew his last finger, and the next moment a terrifying scream was heard from under the sea.

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, Lu Wen broke through the sea and ran madly towards the shore. Behind him were countless tentacles that made people's scalps tingle.

Seeing Yu Zhun and the other man standing leisurely on the shore, Lu Wen kept shouting, "Help, help, help, help..."

"Whoosh whoosh—"

In response, Udyr shot countless arrows in an instant.

These arrows passed by him like the outline of a human body, and pierced into one tentacle after another.

Roars of unwillingness came from beneath the sea, and soon the tentacles retracted as if they had been electrocuted, leaving only the sea surface stained with blood.

"Oh my god, you scared me."

After returning to Yu Zhun and Udyr, Lu Wen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a lingering look of fear on his face.

"What did you see under the sea?" Yu Zhun couldn't help but become curious.

Although Lu Wen is often startled, it is rare for him to be so obvious.

"I saw a pair of huge eyes." Lu Wen recalled what he saw under the sea, with a hint of fear on his face.

"Can you imagine? In the pitch-black seabed, a pair of eyes almost as big as the seabed suddenly appear and stare at you."

"As big as the seabed?" Yu Zhun couldn't help but be surprised.

He had never seen a monster of this size.

"Are you seeing things?" Udyr on the side also did not quite believe what Luwen said.

"You'll find out when you go there." Lu Wen rolled his eyes and didn't bother to argue. "I only saw it for a moment."

"Then, a huge number of octopus monsters suddenly appeared, and countless tentacles suddenly stretched out towards me."

"I killed two in a hurry and then ran away."

"Luckily we're not far from the shore, otherwise if something like this happened to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape at all."

"There is one more thing." Lu Wen's expression suddenly became serious.

"I was under the sea and saw no trace of an island."

Yu Zhun and Udyr were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, the formation of an island should be due to crustal movement that causes the riverbed on the seabed to move upward and eventually exceed the sea level.

In other words, the islands are actually high mountains under the sea.

When entering the ocean from the island, you will definitely be able to see the larger part of the island hidden under the sea surface.

However, Lu Wen said he did not see it.

This means that the island they are standing on at the moment is not an island in the conventional sense, but rather more like one floating on the water.

An island floating on the water?
Yu Zhun was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "I'll go down and take a look myself."

Just by listening to Lu Wen's description, he already felt the weirdness and uniqueness of this secret place.

At this point, he could only feel at ease if he saw for himself what was happening below.

Waving to Lu Wen and Udyr, Yu Zhun chose a different position from Lu Wen and jumped into the water with a dagger in his hand.

"Gudong-"

After the sound of someone entering the water, the world suddenly became quiet. The sea seemed to be able to swallow up all the light. Standing in it, Yu Zhun only felt coldness and darkness.

Exploring the surroundings with the help of his senses, Yu Zhun soon discovered that the island they were on was just as Lu Wen said, with only the part above the sea and nothing below the sea.

He was about to continue exploring when suddenly a creepy feeling came over him.

Following my feeling, I looked down suddenly, and all I saw was a pair of scarlet eyes that slowly opened, covering the entire seabed.

What a terrifying pair of eyes those were, with countless bloodshot veins in the whites of the eyes, like hideous veins at the bottom of the sea. The scarlet eyes seemed to be filled with all the dark emotions, making people shudder.

Just by looking at him for a moment, Yu Zhun felt his scalp explode and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

At this moment, he finally understood Lu Wen's previous embarrassment.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last too long. The pair of eyes just glanced at Yu Zhun and then closed again. The terrifying feeling of oppression also dissipated, as if everything was just an illusion.

In the darkness, countless monsters with large tentacles suddenly appeared after the eyes were closed, and they were exactly the same as the monsters that attacked Lu Wen before.

With Lu Wen’s previous description, Yu Zhun was already mentally prepared for the appearance of these monsters and was not panicked at the moment.

If he chooses to return to the shore at this moment, his exploration progress will not be higher than Lu Wen, and he will not be able to understand the situation of this secret realm.

So Yu Zhun chose to kill!

He activated [Assassin's Field] without hesitation. The moment the besieging tentacles slowed down, he passed through the gaps between the tentacles like a fish and killed the besieging monsters.

One...two...three...

With the alternating use of weapons and willpower props, the octopus monsters fell in Yu Zhun's hands one by one, turning into black air currents and dissipating. The blood gradually thickened in the sea water, and Yu Zhun's eyes turned scarlet without him noticing.

He seemed unaware of this and continued to attack like a killing machine, killing all the monsters that approached him.

At the bottom of the sea beneath him, the pair of eyes that had been closed slowly opened a crack under the stimulation of blood, and then gradually opened.

There was amusement in those eyes, as well as a hint of madness and excitement.

Suddenly, Yu Zhun's killing action paused, and his eyes regained a bit of clarity.

He looked around blankly, and when his gaze met the blood-red eyes below that were almost fully open, a piercing chill instantly surged up his back.

This place is so weird!
He could clearly feel that if the pair of eyes below opened completely again, something extremely dangerous would happen.

And he seemed to be affected by an unknown force during the killing, and he completely ignored this fact. He continued to kill uncontrollably, which helped the blood-red eyes to revive!

Must leave immediately!

Without any hesitation, Yu Zhun stomped his foot, tore a path through the countless limbs and arms in the sea of ​​blood, and quickly headed towards the island.

When Yu Zhun's figure disappeared under the sea, the pair of eyes at the bottom of the sea slowly closed, and vague murmurs echoed in the sea water.

"Almost, just a little bit."
-
“There are big problems beneath the surface.”

After returning to the island, Yu Zhun took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Those eyes have extremely terrifying power, which is far beyond our ability to deal with."

"As long as we kill those octopus monsters, our minds will be gradually affected, and we will eventually become machines that only know how to kill."

"And killing will gradually revive the power of those eyes."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Wen couldn't help but screamed, "We enter the secret realm, and our ultimate goal should be to destroy it, right?"

"Since we want to destroy the secret realm, that guy should also be our target of destruction."

"The opponent is so powerful, can we destroy this secret realm?"

"Once you enter the sea, you will be besieged by octopus monsters. Killing the octopus monsters will gradually awaken those eyes." Udyr also looked troubled. "If this is the case, the sea is simply a restricted area."

"Can't fly, can't go into the sea."

"Aren't we trapped on this island?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun fell silent.

He is also thinking about solutions.

The secret realm is so unsolvable, is it really possible to destroy it?
If the object of exploration is a copy of the divinely inspired world, then Yu Zhun can be sure that there must be a way to survive in the copy and it will not be absolutely unsolvable.

But whether this rule is effective in the secret realm is unknown.

and many more…

Copy!

He once encountered a special copy in which there were also beings with power far exceeding the normal level - the Rule Strange Stories Copy.

In the rule-based ghost story copy, anyone who violates the rules will be immediately wiped out. This power is almost impossible to resist.

At this moment, those scarlet eyes and the killing force that violated the rules were so similar that they were both too powerful for them to deal with.

So can we regard it as a rule that cannot be violated, rather than a powerful monster existing in the secret realm?
if it is like this…

Yu Zhun's eyes flashed and he had a new idea.

"If we can't go into the sea, and we can't fly into the sky." He looked at Luwen and Udyr, "Then should we try taking a boat?"

"Huh?" Lu Wen's mouth twitched fiercely, "Is it really possible to take a boat?"

"Why not give it a try?" Yu Zhun casually picked up a leaf and threw it on the sea. He pointed at the leaf floating on the sea and said, "Although the sea water and islands here are strange, the basic buoyancy does exist."

"In fact, the buoyancy is too strong." Yu Zhun stomped on the island under his feet, "Even the island can float."

"You mean, only humans will sink into the water, and everything else can float?" Udyr realized what Yu Zhun did not say.

"Yes." Yu Zhun nodded. "Thinking back carefully, I didn't feel any buoyancy when I was in the water."

Luwen and Udyr looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

It sounds like it makes sense.

"I'll build the boat. I'm good at this!" Lu Wen smiled, took out his two swords, rushed into the forest, and quickly cut down one thick tree after another.

Udyr found some vines and quickly fixed the trees into a basic shape, and Yu Jun then made some minor modifications.

Soon, a large boat capable of accommodating three people was completed.

Pushing the boat into the sea, three people jumped on board at the same time. Looking at the wooden boat floating steadily on the sea, joy appeared on their faces.

"We can do it!" Yu Zhun exclaimed, holding a paddle in his hand and throwing the other paddle to Lu Wen.

"Udyr is on guard."

"I'm worried that there will be monsters in the sea that will attack us."

"Okay." Udyr nodded slightly, looking around and under the sea vigilantly.

After determining the division of labor, the three of them rowed the wooden boat in an orderly manner towards the nearest island.

But it turned out that Yu Zhun's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

When they successfully landed on another island, the underwater octopus monsters did not appear at all.

Yu Zhun couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

Just as he expected, as long as he didn't enter the sea, no danger would occur.

but…

Yu Zhun's smile gradually faded.

The premise of this speculation is that the core area of ​​the secret realm is also not in the sea.
-
At the same time, on another island.

Two figures, a man and a woman, dressed in luxurious robes, were standing on the beach at the edge of the island, looking at the sea in front of them, with a look of strangeness and surprise on their faces.

"I didn't expect that we would enter such a secret place."

"It's a pity that Senior Brother Long Pan has something to do and can't come in."

The man looked at the woman and said, "Qing Wu, do you think we are lucky or unlucky?"

"Of course I'm lucky." Qing Wu looked at the man with some disdain. "Although the sealed secret realms are dangerous, the rewards are also huge."

"Miaochen, are you afraid now that Senior Brother is not around?"

"Of course I'm not afraid." Miao Chen took a deep breath.

Rumor has it that [Tianxu Holy Realm] is not only a 5A copy controlled by the master of Tianxu Temple, but also a cage built by him for his enemies.

Those who were his enemies on his way to becoming a god were eventually suppressed in the secret realms of the Tianxu Holy Realm.

Even though these enemies have been suppressed for countless years and are left with only a remnant of strength left, they are still a great terror to anyone who enters their midst.

But as long as such a secret realm can be destroyed, the suppressed enemies will also be destroyed.

The risk is proportional to the reward, and the harvest will be extremely rich.

Thinking of this, the fear in Miaochen's eyes gradually faded, replaced by enthusiasm, "In this case, let's give it a try."

The two looked at each other with a bit of determination in their eyes.
