Chapter 86 Alarming Turtle Prime Minister
Gao Jian was completely exhausted. Mental strength has its limits after all. Sometimes after being exhausted, even if you remember something again, you won't have any energy left to use.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps some power would still remain, just like a major explosion during a crisis.

But Gao Jian has already opened the Niwan and can mobilize all the body's strength. If he says there is no more, then there really is not a drop left, it has all been squeezed dry.

At this moment, Gao Jian felt like a paralyzed patient in bed, with no control over his body at all. No matter how many orders he gave to his body, no muscle could respond.

Completely and totally exhausted, even my eyes are a little black, my brain is congested, and the beating of my heart makes my whole body tremble uncontrollably.

In this situation, willpower is of no use. You can only rest slowly and wait for your body to break down itself and recover some strength before you can move.

However, I do have some fat on my belly, and the stored fat is for times like this.

However, Simengniang seemed to have realized that it was impossible for her to pull away the tentacles, so she swam upwards and left the area.

That's it.

As for yourself?

Ha, just kill it again.

Gao Jian allowed his body to be dragged back to the abyss at a slow speed. He even closed his eyes and rested for a while.

He also saw the turtle, which should have been monitoring him, but ended up being thrown into the shadow by him. Now he was following the shadow downstream, and he was likely to suffer the same fate as the bony plate fish.

What about Gao Jian himself?

He didn't hold the rusty knife yet, he wanted to see how long he could hold on.

The tentacles grabbed hold of him and kept pulling back.

Soon, Gao Jian saw the bony fish again.

However, the tentacles have not stopped yet.

It is still going down and it seems that it has not reached its limit yet.

It was completely dark all around. I couldn't see my hand in front of me and could only feel the dark water.

Fortunately, Gao Jian had water-repellent beads, so the water pressure had no effect on him because he had already seen that the turtle was dead.

After the training, the turtle's shell is hard and much denser than the mermaid's. It has no buoyancy and has to paddling to swim. After the mermaid fell unconscious, it floated upwards, while the turtle fell downwards.

So, when the turtle was knocked unconscious by the water pressure, he soon fell down with Gao Jian. In the end, although Gao Jian could not see it, he could hear the crackling sound.

Soon the sound disappeared.

During this process, Gao Jian also managed to struggle to pick up a part of the turtle that was crushed by the water pressure, and started chewing it in his mouth.

The flesh and blood of the second-level monster contained a lot of essence. After Gao Jian had a full meal, he finally regained some vitality.

The stomach was working rapidly, and the digestive system also demonstrated its full strength at this moment, starting to transform essence and energy into the blood, allowing Gao Jian's hungry and thirsty muscles to quickly obtain nutrients.

As a result, about ten minutes later, Gao Jian shook hands.

His whole body was aching. Although he could move, he only had 20% of his combat power.

and……

I had been dragged down for almost three quarters of an hour.

After three quarters of an hour, it’s still not the bottom.

How deep is this?
I heard that this lake is twenty miles deep. Are you going to drag yourself to the bottom twenty miles?

Speaking of which, a lake that is 20 miles deep is also outrageous. A lake that is 10,000 meters deep is a super deep pit at the level of a trench.

Gao Jian was thinking about all this, but he wasn't afraid at all.

At this point, there's no point in being afraid.

Those thoughts just now were actually allowing Gao Jian to ignore the thought of "returning home" in his mind.

Otherwise, he felt he would go crazy.

That voice kept repeating "return home".

Anyone who hears it will want to dive into the abyss.

Fortunately, Gao Jian was in pain all over his body, and his mind was constantly thinking about all sorts of things. Such pain and thinking prevented him from being eroded by the voices of "returning home".

However, Gao Jian was also a little strange.

He was sure that he had not been corrupted by the voice of "returning home" because he still retained most of his thinking ability.

But is the sound really that weak?
He was hit without realizing it the first time, but now he can still resist. Gao Jian doesn't think it's because he is too strong or his voice is too weak.

Why did it last so long this time?
While thinking this, Gao Jian suddenly saw a huge crab.

The crab will glow by itself, illuminating the surroundings and becoming particularly eye-catching.

Moreover, Gao Jian could also feel a certain kind of power in it, a power that was surging with energy and blood.

Even though it is so weak, this crab is still lingering here.

...That crab is at least in the third realm! And all the ones it opened were the essence realm, but then again, the crab shouldn't have the spirit realm either.

This crab, like the turtle and the bony fish before it, just wandered here. The water pressure had no effect on it anymore, but it didn't leave. It was unknown how long it had been wandering here.

It can be seen that such whispers have not weakened in the slightest, and even those in the third realm will be affected when they reach this point.

But apart from the constant crying in his head, Gao Jian did not feel any substantial impact at this moment. He did not even use the rusty knife.

What happened? What was going on? Is there something strange about this abyss?

It can even be said that there is no record of such a place. Gao Jian has never heard of the existence of this abyss anywhere, not even in the Xuanhua Tongmen Dadao Ge.

The Xuanhua Tongmen Da Dao Song was listed as a common method for students of the former Imperial Academy eight hundred years ago.

This shows that this abyss should have been formed within the next eight hundred years. Otherwise, given the level of detail in the Encyclopedia of Xuanhua Tongmen Dadao Ge, it would have to be mentioned.

But no matter what, now I can only wait for the tentacles to drag me down, then recover my strength, and then slowly kill them again.

How should I put it? At this point, Gao Jian was surprisingly relaxed, without any pressure at all. Although he knew that he was at a critical moment of life and death, the excitement in his heart was greater than the sense of crisis.

This made him unable to help but knock himself.

When did I become such a killer?

However, he found that he was really not afraid and had no worries at all.

Now that you're here, just fight your way out.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

A full hour had passed since Gao Jian was dragged under the water by the tentacles. At this time, light began to appear all around.

The light came from an underwater mountain range, which stretched for two or three miles and was at the deepest part of the seabed.

Gao Jian has discovered that the entire lake is shaped like a funnel. From the outermost shallow sea, the lakebed slowly slopes downward, spreading for four hundred miles at a certain slope. At the deepest point, which is the center of the funnel, it is a full twenty miles deep.

In the center of this funnel, there is such a mountain range.

No one knows what the mountains are made of, but they appear to be in a spiral shape, a bit like a giant mosquito coil on the bottom of the sea.

This mosquito-repellent-coated mountain is glowing, but the light is not dazzling. It is a bit similar to the faint glow of a firefly. It looks very gorgeous and beautiful in this deep water, and it also allows people to see things easily around it.

There are a lot of fallen rubble around.
The moment he arrived here...the 'crying' in Gao Jian's heart suddenly disappeared.

The tentacles also disappeared, and Gao Jian landed beside the mountain. He was not sure, so he reached out and grasped the rusty knife, feeling the lake in his heart.

The lake of his heart calmed down, and Gao Jian examined his own heart.

At this moment, the dark shadow in his heart had completely dissipated. There was no more crying, and no other haze existed. In a sense, he had become completely normal.

He looked outside.

Dark shadows are surging around the periphery of this glowing underwater mountain.

The dark shadows enveloped the space around the mountain, and they were extremely dense. They kept squirming and spreading. One could see that there were still many tentacles extending outwards, constantly capturing the lives that heard the 'whisper'.

As long as the cry is heard in the deep waters, it will attract these dark shadows and become their prey.

It was these black shadows that caused the previous abnormality, and it was also them that dragged Gao Jian down from above.

But the dark shadows could not get close to the glowing mountain.

Within the two or three miles around the glowing mountains, everything seemed normal.

Gao Jian shook his head, let go of the knife, then stood up and looked around the mountains tentatively.

Let’s explore it first.

If there is no other way, then rest here until your strength recovers, and then find a way to break through the shadow.

----------

Meanwhile, Gui Cheng has just returned.

It was really pleasant to drink with Crab General for more than ten days. Besides, Gao Jian is dead, so I can finally let go.

It’s a pity for Jin Ao.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Gui Cheng returned to his own residence.

But before he could sit still, he heard a little turtle swimming over and shouting, "Ancestor, Ancestor! Something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong?" Gui Cheng frowned. What happened again?

The Dragon Palace has enjoyed peace and prosperity here for thousands of years, so there aren't always so many things going on.

"Well, Gao Jian is not dead yet! You previously ordered Qingling to take over the surveillance work, but he is dead and was thrown into Kunlongyuan by Gao Jian!"

Gui Cheng subconsciously refuted: "Ridiculous! What about Gao Jianren!? He came out? Impossible, it is impossible for a Level 2 realm to come out of Kunlongyuan!"

The little turtle said anxiously: "Gao Jian was caught by the tentacles of the trapped dragon abyss again, and he also rescued a mermaid. It seems that he still has some strength left!"

There is still some strength left, which means that Gao Jian might be able to come out a second time!
"I'll go myself." Gui Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Don't make it public for now. But if someone insists on tracking down where I went, tell them that I found a distinguished guest from the Dragon Palace who had strayed into danger, so I went to rescue him. I hope I can make it in time, but don't tell them where I went."

"I understand!" the little turtle replied immediately.

Turtle Prime Minister shrank his body and rushed towards Kunlongyuan without any delay.

Anger burned in his heart.

What kind of person is this Gao Jian? Why can't he die?

Fortunately, we have already preserved the images and evidence, so we have an excuse.

This time I will do it myself and kill this bastard. Even if someone comes looking for me, it will be all because of Kun Longyuan. I can't blame others. If someone investigates, I will still be a hero!

Who asked Gao Jian to go to Kunlongyuan? He went there to save people, but he failed.

Turtle Prime Minister quickly rushed to the source of the news. Many small turtles had already gathered there, all transformed into human forms. There were probably dozens of them, all gathered here. When they saw Turtle Prime Minister coming, they all called him "Ancestor".

Of course, they are called "little turtles", but in fact these turtles are at least at the first level, and most of them are at the second level.

"There is a mermaid village nearby, right? Gao Jian saved one of the mermaids?" asked Gui Cheng.

"Yes, ancestor." A turtle demon stepped out and said so.

"Okay, control all the mermaids, find the one he rescued, and ask her how Gao Jian got out." Gui Cheng ordered.

Upon hearing this, the other little turtles immediately took action, transformed into their original forms, and headed towards the mermaid settlement.

Soon, all the hundreds of mermaids in the entire settlement, whether they were herding fish outside or recuperating at home, were captured.

There were also some people who were not from this settlement, but were captured as well because they were passing by.

At the mermaid settlement, everyone gathered together.

But the mermaids kept shouting, "I'm not from here, I'm not from here, Master Turtle, we're just passing by to herd fish! We have nothing to do with this place!"

They didn't know what happened, they were just caught suddenly.

Gui Cheng walked over with his hands behind his back and asked the other mermaids nearby: "Aren't they from here?"

"To answer your question, sir, it is indeed not..." the mermaid answered tremblingly.

"Oh." The old turtle stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly.

Those mermaids who shouted that they were not from here were exploded into a ball of blood mist.

The scene was a bit noisy at first, but it suddenly became quiet.

"Okay, now, everyone lives in this settlement, right?" Gui Cheng asked in a flat voice.

There was silence all around, and no one answered.

"Don't talk, aren't you?" he asked again.

At this moment, all the mermaids were startled.

"Yes, yes! We all are!"

"I'm from here!"

"Our family has lived here for generations!" The mermaids reacted and shouted immediately!

"Just say it, no need to speak so loudly." Gui Cheng frowned.

Then the surroundings became quiet again.

"I heard that a human guest came here recently and saved one of your people, right?" Gui Cheng asked again.

The merman next to him immediately pointed at the one next to him and shouted, "It's Simeng Niang, it's Simeng Niang, that's her! That's the one!"

The mermaid's voice was very loud and high-pitched, which made Gui Cheng frown.

He waved his hand again, pointing at Simengniang, and the mermaid who was shouting so loudly exploded again and turned into a pile of minced meat.

"I've already told you, there's no need to speak so loudly. That's what I hate about you." Gui Cheng shook his head in displeasure.

The surroundings were quiet again.

Then he walked to Simengniang.

Simengniang was trembling all over.

"You've met Gao Jian, right?" he asked.
