Chapter 306 The Abandoned Underwater City

"Master," Pra said, "it says that as long as you hold it in your mouth, you can breathe underwater."

"Brother, you can breathe in the sea just by holding this in your mouth? It can't be a scam, right? Why don't you let me try it?" Qin Ziwu seemed a little skeptical.

"Your map of Yan is too short," Qin Ziwen said, glancing at him sideways.

Qin Ziwu chuckled upon hearing this.

"Take it and try it out." Qin Ziwen tossed the spirit jade coral to Qin Ziwu.

"You really gave it to me?" Qin Ziwu was pleasantly surprised.

Qin Ziwen said calmly, "It's best to wipe it before using it, otherwise who knows how many people have touched this coral."

Upon hearing his elder brother's words, Qin Ziwu's face stiffened. He suddenly realized that the coral in his hand smelled bad.

Finally, Qin Ziwu found a rag and wiped it repeatedly, then put one end of the coral in his mouth and sank to the bottom of the sea.

After a while, a head popped up on the surface of the water, and Qin Ziwu got up.

He ran to Qin Ziwen's side and quickly said, "Brother, if you hold this coral in your mouth and breathe through your mouth, it really feels just like being on land."

Maybe even more; I think it's sweeter than the air on land, and it leaves a cool, refreshing feeling in my throat.

"However, there is also a problem, which is that once it is in my mouth, I can't talk underwater. As soon as I talk, water will enter my mouth, and it is not very comfortable to have something in my mouth. After holding it for a long time, my mouth will become a little sore." Qin Ziwu felt a little strange.

"Are there any other drawbacks?" Qin Ziwen asked.

Qin Ziwu seemed to be thinking about it. "Shortcomings? Let me think about it."

After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "I remember now, once you're in the water, you can only breathe through your mouth, not your nose. If you breathe through your nose, you'll choke on water."

Qin Ziwen said to Pula, "Did you hear that? Repeat these shortcomings to them. I need more sincerity. Do they expect me to go into the sea alone? Provide me with 99 more of this coral."

Hearing his elder brother's words, Qin Ziwu's lips twitched slightly. He leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered, "Brother, aren't we going a bit too far? I feel like the other party is quite sincere."

Qin Ziwen nodded in deep agreement, "I also think my demands are a bit too much."

Qin Ziwu was puzzled. If his elder brother already knew, why did he still bring up these conditions?

Qin Ziwen then changed the subject, "So they can even fulfill such an excessive request as mine, then they are truly benevolent people."

Qin Ziwu suddenly realized, yes, if even such harsh conditions can be met continuously, it can only mean that the other party has greater needs, or it may even be a trap!
Judging from his interactions with the fish-men, these fish-men are not simple creatures; they are purely carnivorous.

Qin Ziwu became wary. "Could it be a scam?"

"Let's wait and see." Qin Ziwen wasn't in a hurry; the other party had sunk costs.

The one who should be anxious is the other party.

After a while, ripples appeared on the sea, and a fish-man appeared.

It wasn't the same one from before; instead, it looked at Qin Ziwen with some fear, raised its hands, and presented a seashell.

Qin Ziwen gave Pula a look, and Pula stepped forward and took the seashell, which was about the size of a pot lid.

Upon opening, nine spirit jade corals were found inside.

Including the one we just saw, that makes a total of ten level-one rare items.

Qin Ziwen sighed with gratitude, thanking the top donor for the gift; now he had collected one-tenth of the donation.

The new merman rattled off a string of words while gesturing wildly with his hands.

Pula said, "Master, it says that the fishman just now spread misinformation, causing you to misunderstand. It has been killed, and their tribe's chief sincerely invites you to go to sea."

"It seems our merman tribe leader is getting impatient. If he wants it to keep producing gold coins, we need to get closer to it." Qin Ziwen waved his hand. "Let's go. Since they've invited us, let's go down and take a look."

We didn't bring too many people with us, otherwise it would be difficult to escape later.

The team of seven each held a piece of spirit jade coral in their mouths, and each carried five deep-sea oxygen pills in their pockets for emergencies.

Stepping on the water, the group gradually dived into the sea.

Beneath the surface of the sea, fish-men roam freely in the water.

Compared to those on land, the fish-men in the sea are significantly more agile.

From a distance, it looks like a nimble dolphin.

They were surrounded by at least a hundred merfolk. Du Yu quietly approached his lord, his right hand resting on the curved sword at his waist.

Qin Ziwen took out a scale from his bosom. Upon seeing the scale, the fish-men lowered their heads in submission.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the fishmen ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the group split up, and from the back of the group, a female fish-woman who was nearly two meters long swam over.

It was significantly taller than the surrounding Artisan Fishmen.

Compared to it, the surrounding artisan fishmen were like dwarfs surrounding the princess.

Compared to male fishmen, female fishmen, although they also have protruding noses and mouths, small eyes and large lips, do not conform to human aesthetics.

However, they have extremely hot figures. Compared to the shirtless male fishmen, the female fishmen wear simple clothes and a string of seashells hanging on their chests. Having swum in the sea for many years, they have almost no excess fat on their bodies.

The female merman approached Qin Ziwen.

It turned around and bowed in front of Qin Ziwen.

With arms outstretched, he floats face down in the water.

Starting from the back of the neck, a deep groove slides down the spine, and the slightly raised back muscles on both sides resemble folded butterfly wings.

The waistline, with its cinched waist and rounded hips, outlines a beautiful curve.

Qin Ziwu's eyes widened as the seaweed apron tied around the female merman's waist was swept up by the seawater. He exclaimed, "Holy crap! These barbarians have no sense of manners or shame!"
Where is morality? Where is thought? This is utterly disgraceful!
"Master, it invites you to ride it."

Pula gestured beside him.

Qin Ziwen squinted his eyes.
First, extend one finger and wave your hand.

Then he pointed to the other six people around him.

He then made a seven gesture.

Pula understood immediately, "I get it!"

It used to communicate with fish-men.

After a while, six more female fishmen came over and lay down in front of the group.

Cao Biansheng's eyes widened as he looked at the chairman in disbelief.

Is this the president's way of sharing?

Qin Ziwen wasn't embarrassed at all about riding the female fish-woman.

Because he didn't treat them as human beings.

In his view, these fishmen were no different from Red Hare and Horned Eagle.

The fish-men are very fast, much faster than they can walk.

In less than ten minutes, the surrounding area was plunged into the true darkness of the deep sea.

Ahead, a merman held up a pearl that glowed faintly, its light only spreading forty or fifty meters around it.

A moment later, countless eerie green fluorescent dots suddenly appeared on the seabed ahead, like a cluster of stars hanging upside down in the abyss.

In the dim, eerie light, a vast, dark shadow slowly unfolded on the seabed.

This is an abandoned city that has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The leaning towers resemble the ribs of a giant beast.

Wide streets and squares are buried under thick sediment, some glowing marine life swims in the abandoned city, and deep in the city, a terrifying, huge black shadow sweeps by.

Qin Ziwen thought this was the destination, but the fishmen circled around and swam past the outer perimeter of the city.

After swimming a distance further, it finally stopped in a pink coral forest.

The gentle slope is surrounded by dense pink corals, and there are also many raised mounds of earth that look like burial mounds.

At that moment, some fishmen peeked out from the mounds of earth, secretly observing these foreign guests.

When Qin Ziwen saw this scene, he felt it was somewhat familiar. He remembered that this was one of the three scenes that prompted him at the beginning of the island map.
