Chapter 84 Escape
Unconsciously, Gao Jian seemed to have arrived at a very deep place, possibly deeper than the Dragon Palace.

Because when Gao Jian was in the Dragon Palace, he could still see many mermaids. Those mermaids didn't have much cultivation and they only existed as maids in the Dragon Palace.

This shows that mermaids can survive at that depth.

But where he was now, not to mention the mermaids, even the jellyfish could not be seen.

It was pitch black all around, with no light being able to penetrate into this place at all.

Under the dim water, it is deep and dark.

It is very cold here, and the water temperature remains at zero degrees or below all year round, but it never freezes because the water pressure here is extremely high. The density and salinity exceed the sea that humans usually know. Ordinary people here will be instantly crushed, just like being run over by a steamroller. The water pressure here is like an elephant dancing on you.

Even Gao Jian felt a little nervous.

The darkness all around, the strong water pressure, and the subtle sense of oppression all seemed to indicate that some kind of danger was lurking within.

Fortunately, he has the Water-Repellent Beads, so no matter what the water pressure is, it can't touch him. In a sense, this thing is a bit like cheating... I wonder if it can defend against water-based magic?

Unfortunately, Gao Jian is just a warrior. He can wield swords and guns but he doesn't know any magic for the time being. Moreover, in his promotion path, he has not opened any of the three Qi orifices, so he does not have enough Qi to perform magic.

Up to now, the acupoints opened by Gao Jian were all spiritual, and Qi had been put aside.

However, although it looks scary, and instinct tells him that this dark seabed might be dangerous, reason tells Gao Jian that generally nothing can survive in such places, and even if there are, they probably don't have any super powerful mobility.

The deep sea is so barren, not to mention that this is just a big lake. Such barren waters cannot support the existence of large creatures. Even if there are some super monsters, why would they come to such remote corners instead of going to shallow waters with good environment and abundant food?
Besides, even if there were something scary, could it be scarier than the Baishan River Dragon Palace? That dragon could turn the lake upside down.

Thinking of this, Gao Jian felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. The traces of the battle were becoming shallower and shallower, which meant that Zuo Lang and Jiaolong were exhausted. If they went a little further, they should be completely done.

Gao Jian felt that if it was completed thoroughly, it would be a great improvement for himself.

Thinking of this, I didn’t feel that hungry anymore.

So he continued to study the traces of the battle.

----------

"What did you say? Gao Jian took the initiative to go to Kunlongyuan?" Gui Cheng suddenly stretched his head and looked at a little turtle.

The little turtle nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the ancestor, he followed the traces of the battle between the Dragon Lord and the Zuo clan leader and explored all the way down. He is almost at the trapped dragon abyss."

Gui Cheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled with relief.

He laughed loudly, "Ha...hahahaha! I was still wondering how to kill him. Now I don't have to worry about it. Did you keep any records?"

"Keep it! They're all images!" The little turtle immediately presented a jade slip.

There are certain runes engraved on this jade slip...recording certain information.

If Gao Jian were here, he would be able to see the origin of this thing.

There are several types of magic tools used for this kind of recording, the most expensive of which is through Shen Yun.

Shen Yun can preserve all kinds of thoughts and even perceptions, and naturally it can also be used to preserve simple images. However, this method is too expensive, and can only be used by strong people who have opened the Divine Gate. However, the effect is also the best, because it can record the real scene of the battle, which is the kind of reality of "being there", similar to you standing there in person, and you will be injured if you are not careful.

What Gao Jian felt in the black water was a primitive, crude and degraded version of this recording method, which could not be used as a magic weapon.

As for cheaper solutions, some are by recording light and shadow, while others are by using certain treasures with recording capabilities as raw materials.

In addition to these, there is also a cheapest way to record, which is through "residual souls".

By refining Yin ghosts, any race can be used, whether human or demon, let those Yin ghosts act as "eyes" to record, and then reading is directly searching the soul.

Each soul search will destroy one ghost, and then replace it with another, just like changing a memory card. A residual soul can only be recorded and read once.

And what the little turtle is using at this moment is exactly this method of recording the exchange of ghosts.

"Keep this thing safe, make a dozen copies, and show me one." Gui Cheng said.

"I have already copied it a hundred times, and all the backups are here. Please have a look, ancestor." The little turtle immediately presented a box, which was full of jade slips.

Gui Cheng nodded, his eyes full of joy: "That's good. This way, if someone comes to visit after he dies, we don't have to worry. He committed suicide on his own."

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you are quick and smart. Go to the ancestral hall to collect ten gold coins and go to... uh, Honglin County to take up your post. They are in need of a water god. It seems that he was trying to marry a wife, but was ambushed and killed by a human. That human was the most powerful in the area. There are not many practitioners there now, so you can fill the vacancy."

"Thank you, ancestor!" The little turtle immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude and left happily.

It's not just the little turtle that is happy.

Gui Cheng stayed where he was and carefully read the images recorded in the jade slip.

After confirming that Gao Jian had indeed followed the traces of the battle between Long Jun and Zuo Lang all the way to Kunlongyuan, Gui Cheng's face was filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, he struggled for a long time, and predicted various outcomes, good and bad luck, etc., but he couldn't make up his mind. In the end, Gao Jian died!

Hahahaha, I never expected that someone would take the initiative to go to Kunlongyuan!
Didn't Gao Jian know the origin of the sword in the Broken Dragon Gorge of Baishan River? That sword cut off the immortal path of the Dragon King, making it impossible for the Dragon King to become a real dragon in this life.

I guess he really doesn't know. If he knew a little, he wouldn't have trapped Long Yuan.

But it doesn’t matter. Whether he knows it or not, he can’t get out.

Turtle Prime Minister was in a good mood and immediately shouted, "Bring some wine! Go and invite Red Crab Lord. Forget it, don't invite him. I'll go to his house and have a drink myself! You don't have to wait for me to come back today!"

The old turtle happily went out with the wine in his hand.

Many years ago, there was no such thing as wine in water. However, after communicating with humans for a period of time, wine appeared in water, and the drinking methods and utensils were similar to those of humans, so the aquatic creatures had to wear water-repellent beads when drinking.

But no aquatic creature seemed to find it strange.

Unconsciously, many things of the aquatic people began to become similar to those of humans.

At the same time, Gao Jian, who was trapped in the Dragon Abyss, was still immersed in his own world.

It’s awesome. He has been controlling this power for eleven days now. After a while of being hungry, he gradually stopped feeling hungry and forgot about time.

Sometimes Gao Jian would wonder if he really liked studying and researching so much. No way. Why was he so obsessed with it?
Is this really interesting to study?

Gao Jian actually felt a little tired and had lost his initial interest. If it were according to his own idea, he would have left now, made a note of it, gone out for a meal, rested for a while, and then continued to think about it slowly.

Don't rush.

But now, even though he was so tired and hungry, he still felt... like continuing his research.

He doesn't want to leave here.

He wanted to continue.

This feeling lasted until the fourteenth day. Unconsciously, he had been here for fourteen days, and in these last few days, he made rapid progress! Working day and night did not reduce Gao Jian's efficiency. On the contrary, his thinking speed became faster and faster!

Until the end...

As Gao Jian understood the traces of the last part of the battle, the entire battle was almost completely reproduced in his mind.

It may not be correct, but it must be consistent with Gao Jian's "deduction" and is a reasonable way of fighting.

Gao Jian had already thought of how to avoid the dragon's attack if he were in Zuo Lang's position. He had customized a set of 'pre-set triggers' for himself based on the trigger mechanism of the Five Elements.

More than one hundred preset triggers can be set, and triggered by up to five different triggers, that is, each of the five elements can activate one. Once activated, the body will begin to "cramp" according to the preset actions.

Or 'conditioned reflex'.

Gao Jian can "prepare" his conditioned reflexes in advance, and when the time comes, his subjective reaction only needs to be to pull the trigger, and the rest will be left to his body.

If he had prepared a set of military boxing in advance, he would complete the set of military boxing on the spot before stopping.

But Gao Jian couldn't maintain such a long reflex. He could only do one or two movements. After all, cramps for too long would damage the body.

But no matter what, Gao Jian felt that the little trick he developed was really very useful. It was an alternative use of the five elements of the body and it was quite good.

During this process, he also learned some of the abilities of the Zuo family and the dragons, and gained a deeper understanding of them.

Fortunately, both goals were achieved.

So, it's time to end it, right?

It’s time to end it, return to the surface of the sea, rest and eat.

Several thoughts appeared in Gao Jian's mind, which made him wake up from his own world for a moment.

In just that moment, Gao Jian suddenly realized that something was wrong!
I am not such a studious person!
If I could have this kind of concentration when I was studying, would it still be like this?

something wrong.

but……

I really want to stay here.

Is there something else we can do here?

Looking around, you can see a lot of fish bones and animal bones, which are quite large.

At this moment, Gao Jian heard the sound of moving water waves, and he didn't know what creature made the sound.

Looking up, I saw a big fish, about three or four meters long. It must be a monster.

This big fish is covered with bone armor, with shields on its head and no teeth. Because there are bone plates in its mouth connected to the skull, it is obvious that it is a ferocious predator living in shallow sea areas. Judging from its blood and energy, it has at least the strength of the second realm, otherwise it would have been crushed to death by the water pressure in this place.

The big fish seemed to have not eaten for a long time. There was no way there was anything for him to eat in this place, and he was already a little weak.

It seemed to be making its last struggle.

Then, because it had not eaten for so long, it lost power and sank straight down, until it fell onto the tilted seabed and died.

Gao Jian could see that it was exhausted to death.

It is unwilling to leave and wants to linger here forever. It does not eat and does not leave. It keeps swimming here. Thus, it dies of exhaustion, or rather... of starvation.

Gao Jian suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Isn't this fish me? !
Got to leave quickly!

leave?

There doesn't seem to be any reason to leave.

Is it necessary to leave? Must I leave? How comfortable it is here... huh?

Gao Jian reached out and grasped the rusty knife.

In an instant, the heart becomes clear.

His mind became clear, and only then did he realize that a black shadow had appeared silently in the lake of his heart. The black shadow seemed to exude some kind of longing, some kind of sadness, some kind of... plague.

Then, he heard 'crying'.

The cry came from the bottom of his heart, from that dark shadow.

The shadow is crying.

As it cried, the plague and the irrepressible longing spread out and diffused in the surroundings, as if to swallow up everything. Things infected by this longing couldn't help but want to stay here.

Because your heart has been eroded, your thoughts are no longer under your control. This silent longing has infiltrated the minds of other lives, making them unable to control themselves, and they can't even think that something is wrong.

Gao Jian made me feel cold all over!

Fortunately, when I held the rusty knife, my heart was absolutely clear, without any distracting thoughts, and this longing was suppressed!

Gao Jian didn't hesitate at all and ran up fiercely!
The rusty knife only lasts for a limited time, and the sharpness of the blade is consumed very quickly!

The seabed here is a slope, sloping down slowly from the shallow sea. Swimming is far slower than running!

Trying to accelerate in this kind of high-pressure water will rapidly consume your physical strength.

A golden body appeared on Gao Jian's body, which was the aura of his previous status as the Lord of a Hundred Gods.

Essence bursts out, Qi and blood surge!

Niwan unlocks the limitations that the body should have.

And then... pull the trigger.

The five elements of energy were entangled in his body, and for a moment, he even lost control of his body.

There is no need to control it, because the 'cramps' caused by the Five Elements have already taken over the body. I have never heard of anyone being able to move on their own when having cramps.

But because of this, Gao Jian burst out with a speed that would have been absolutely impossible to achieve with his own subjective actions!

Even at the bottom of the deep sea with endless water pressure, he ran a hundred meters in ten seconds!

This is simply unimaginable for a human body that does not have a streamlined body!
Quick! Run! Wow!
